Next, the winning combination determination tables T1, T2, T3 stored in the main control ROM 40b will be described with reference to FIG.
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, in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, the winning probabilities of the red BN combination, the extreme BN combination, the cherry combination, the watermelon combination, the bell combination, the replay combination, and the SIN combination are defined. In the general game, the winning combination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the replay role is higher in the high probability RT game (1 / 1.7) than in the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). ing. 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. In the general game, the winning combination determination random number is distributed so that the winning probability (1/600) of the red BN combination is significantly higher than the winning probability (1/900) of the extreme BN combination.

  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.

  Also, in this embodiment, among the BN roles as the special winning roles, it is difficult to win the extreme BN role as the specific special winning role, and the proportion of the winning scene of the red BN role at the time of winning the BN role is Get higher. Depending on the winning of the pole BN role, as will be described later, a privilege advantageous to a player who is not granted depending on the time of winning the red BN role is granted. Such a pole BN combination is a BN combination (winning combination) advantageous to the player among the BN combinations. That is, it is difficult to win among the BN combinations, but if the winning combination is won, the extreme BN combination that is advantageous to the player can be positioned as the premier bonus (premier BN combination) in the present embodiment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the winning combination determination table T3, winning probabilities for the cherry, watermelon, and bell roles 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. 5, in the bonus game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the bell combination is greatly increased as compared with 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 each BN combination in such a bonus standby state, the winning combination is replaced (rewritten) with a winning combination of another winning combination (a small combination or a dismissal 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 has a display effect pattern showing the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a music effect pattern showing the music output mode of the speaker SP, and a light emission effect pattern showing 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. When the medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or the operation signal of each BET button 19 or 20 is input, the main control CPU 40a sends a bet signal instructing that the bet number has been set to the sub control board 41 ( To the sub-control CPU 41a). This bet signal causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to know that the bet number has been 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 each 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 occurs. 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.

  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, when winning each BN role (winning carryover), the main control CPU 40a preferentially stops and displays the stop eye (combination of symbols) corresponding to the small role.

  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 of the 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.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the SIN combination will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6C to 6E, 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 stop operation timing by the player is performed at a timing enabling the SIN winning, as shown in FIG. [Pole 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. 6D, [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 (e), [Replay / Bar / Replay] 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 ( First right operation), as shown in FIG. 6 (e), 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.

  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

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 contents of the effect display device 14 and the music of the speaker SP so as to execute various effects based on the contents instructed by the commands. 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. The speaker SP outputs music (sound) for the ART mode, and the lamp R emits light in the light emission mode for the ART mode. That is, the ART effect based on the display effect, the music effect, and the light emission effect is performed. 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. The speaker SP outputs music (sound) for the preparation mode, and the lamp R emits light in the light emission mode for the preparation mode. That is, the preparation effect based on the display effect, the music effect, and the light emission effect is performed. 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. Note that the speaker SP outputs music (sound) for normal mode, and the lamp R emits light in the light emission mode for normal mode. That is, a normal medium effect based on the display effect, the music effect, and the light emission effect is performed. 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. Note that the speaker SP outputs music (sound) for the BN mode, and the lamp R emits light in a light emission mode for the BN mode. That is, a BN effect as an advantageous effect based on the display effect, the music effect, and the light emission effect is performed. 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. The sub-control CPU 41a selects music output data for music output corresponding to the effect flag, and controls the music output mode of the speaker SP based on the selected music output data. Further, the sub control CPU 41a selects light emission data for light emission corresponding to the effect flag, and controls the light emission mode of the lamp R based on the selected light emission data.

Hereinafter, the control content in each effect state will be described together with various effects centered on the display effect 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 the normal mode, winning of each BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, 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. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the preparation mode from the next variable game in which the occurrence of the right to shift to the ART mode is notified in a single effect or a continuous effect described later. 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 the preparation mode, winning of each BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, 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, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the SIN combination whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small combinations, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the “SIN navigation effect” to assist the SIN spillage. 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). During the ART mode, winning and winning (missing) of each BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, and SIN role 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.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control with the ART flag in accordance with the execution of the BN mode due to the winning of the pole BN combination among the BN combinations from the absence of the ART flag. That is, a benefit advantageous to the player who generates the right to transition to the ART mode is given to the winning (winning) of the extreme BN role among the BN roles. The sub-control CPU 41a determines the continuation rate to be used in the ART continuous lottery in the ART mode after the transition according to the generation of the right to transition to the ART mode during the BN mode.

  As the BN mode is executed due to the occurrence of each BN winning combination from the presence of the ART flag, the state with the ART flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is maintained, so the transition to the ART mode is made. Rights have already occurred. In such a case, a bonus advantageous to the player who increases the continuation rate determined in accordance with the generation of the right to shift to the previous ART mode for winning (winning) of the pole BN role among each BN role Is granted.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an ART entry lottery for each variable game in the BN mode when there is no ART flag. This ART rush lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, 1/260) is obtained for each variable game. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a, when deriving the “winning” result in this ART entry lottery, controls with the ART flag and generates the right to shift to the ART mode. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of “non-winning” in the ART entry lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a maintains no ART flag and does not generate the right to shift to the ART mode.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a performs control with the ART flag in relation to execution (during control) of the BN mode, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode in the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to be notified.

  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 is in an advantageous state (advantageous gaming state) that enables the player to continuously obtain award medals based on the winning of the bell role. Furthermore, during the BN mode, it is also possible to obtain a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game by ART entry lottery.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs control related to the BN mode related to the BN game in the advantageous gaming state or the ART mode related to the high-probability RT game functions as the game control means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs control related to the transition of the BN game and the high-probability RT game can also function as the game control means. Further, the main control CPU 40a for determining whether the BN role is won or not by performing the role lottery functions as a determination unit, and the sub control CPU 41a for determining whether the ART right is generated or not by performing the ART entry lottery. However, it functions as a determination means.

Next, processing performed by the sub-control CPU 41a related to various effects such as display effects, music effects, and light emission effects during a general game or a BN game will be described in more detail.
The image display data, the music output data, and the light emission data are further classified into a plurality of types according to lottery results of various internal lotteries such as a role lottery performed by the main control CPU 40a and an ART rush lottery performed by the sub control CPU 41a. Various data are prepared. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a selects various data according to the lottery results of various internal lottery based on various data according to the effect flag, and causes various effects to be performed based on the selected various data. To control.

First, during a general game or a BN game, an effect for notifying a lottery result of a role lottery or a lottery result of an ART entry lottery will be described.
In the present embodiment, as an effect of notifying the lottery result of the role lottery or the lottery result of the ART rush lottery, a single effect performed for one variable game and a variable game of multiple times (in this embodiment, four times) It is made to perform the continuous production which produces the production so as to straddle these.

  The single effect of this embodiment is performed in such a manner that the lottery result of the role lottery or the ART entry lottery is notified by the contents of the effect of one variation game. This one-off production is based on the winning of each BN in the role lottery (BN winning), non-winning (BN non-winning) or generation of ART mode right (ART right generation), non-occurrence (ART right non-occurrence) ) In one change game. This one-shot effect is performed with any one of a plurality of types (in this embodiment, roughly divided into three types). In other words, the contents of the production of the one-time production include a normal one-time production (more specifically, a plurality of types) capable of finally informing the result of the BN winning or ART right generation, and a plurality of types (a plurality of types) for definite notification of these results ( In the present embodiment, two types of determined single-shot effects (so-called “premier effects”) are prepared.

  In addition, the continuous production of the present embodiment is performed in such a manner that the lottery result of the role lottery or the ART rush lottery is finally notified based on the production contents connected between a plurality of (in this embodiment, four times) variable games. Is called. Whether this continuation effect indicates that there is a possibility of winning for each BN role among multiple winning games when notifying the lottery result of the role lottery, and whether or not each BN role is won. It is finally notified whether or not. In addition, this continuous production suggests that there is a possibility that the right to transition to the ART mode may be generated when notifying the lottery result of the ART rush lottery, and that the game enters the ART mode. It is finally notified whether or not the right to transfer is generated.

  The single production and the continuous production of the present embodiment are configured to be able to appear regardless of the game state and the production state. However, when the production state is in the normal mode, there is a possibility that either the winning of each BN role or the occurrence of the right to transition to the ART mode in the role lottery due to the single production or the continuous production may be notified. On the other hand, when the production state is the ART mode, there is a possibility that only the winning of each BN role is notified by the role lottery by the single production or the continuous production. That is, as in the ART mode, there are cases where the content that is notified by the appearance of a single effect or a continuous effect is limited.

As shown in FIG. 9, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control related to the execution of the single-shot effect and the continuous effect according to a predetermined procedure.
The sub-control CPU 41a sets [1] to the execution flag indicating that the continuous effect stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c is being performed during the continuous effect. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a sets [1] to the execution flag while performing the continuous performance, counts the number of times the variable game has been digested (elapsed) from the setting, and the count result indicates the number of executions In the embodiment, [0 (zero)] is set to the execution flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when the variable game is ended (four times). In the following description, when “continuous production is being executed”, the execution flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c means “1”. Further, when “continuous effect is not being executed”, the execution flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c means “0 (zero)”.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a variable game start command while the continuous effect is not being executed, and determines whether the effect pattern of the single effect or the continuous effect is to be performed based on the winning combination specified in the command. Determine (production pattern determination). Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines which one of the production patterns of the single production or the continuous production is to be performed based on the lottery result of the ART entry lottery while the continuous production is not executed (decision of production pattern).

  As shown in FIG. 10, the determination of the production pattern is whether or not each BN role is instructed (whether BN role is won or not), or whether the right to enter the ART mode is generated ( Random numbers are assigned to either “single effect” or “continuous effect” so that a predetermined ratio (probability) is obtained based on whether the ART right is generated or not generated. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a performs various processes for causing the single-shot effect when the “single-use effect” is determined as the effect pattern. On the other hand, when determining “continuous effect” as the effect pattern, the sub-control CPU 41a performs various processes for causing the continuous effect. The sub-control CPU 41a sets [1] to the execution flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when determining “continuous effect” as the effect pattern.

  In determining the production pattern, it is easier to determine the production pattern of the continuous production in the case of the BN role winning or the ART right occurrence than in the case of the BN role non-winning or the ART right non-occurrence, and the production pattern of the single production is decided. Random numbers are assigned to make it difficult to do so. Further, in the determination of the production pattern, in the case of BN winning or ART right generation, random numbers are distributed so that it is easier to determine the continuous production as compared to the single production. Further, in this determination of the production pattern, random numbers are distributed so that it is easier to determine the single production in the case of BN role non-winning or ART right non-occurrence compared to the continuous production. For this reason, in this embodiment, compared with the case where a single production is performed, when a continuous production is performed, the expectation for BN winning and the generation of ART rights are increased.

  Subsequently, when the single effect is determined as the effect pattern, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the specific content of the single effect based on whether the BN role is won or not, or the ART right is generated or not generated (single effect content determination) ).

  As shown in FIG. 11, the determination of the specific content of the single-effect production is made so that a predetermined ratio (probability) is obtained based on whether the BN role is won or not, or the ART right is generated or not generated. Random numbers are assigned to any one of “normal single-shot effect”, “first premier single-shot effect”, and “second premier single-shot effect”. Further, when determining the normal single-shot effect, the sub-control CPU 41a further determines any normal single-shot effect from a plurality of types. If the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the lottery result of the role lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a decides not only the BN role winning or non-winning but also the normal single-shot effect from a plurality of types based on the winning contents in the BN role non-winning To do. In the following description, the term “premier system single production” means “first premier single production” and “second premier single production” together.

  The single production of the present embodiment is performed in a manner that suggests or notifies BN combination winning, non-winning, or ART right occurrence, non-occurrence, depending on the contents of the production and the result of stopping each reel. For example, in a normal single-shot production, BN role winning or ART right generation is notified on the condition that the winning combination winnings corresponding to the content of the suggestion is denied (not realized) while suggesting the type of winning role There is a production to do. On the other hand, the premier single-shot effect is a confirmed effect that notifies the BN winning combination when the effect appears.

  In the determination of the specific production contents when the production pattern is a single production, random numbers are distributed so that the premier single production as a special notification production can be decided only when the BN winning or ART right is generated. ing. In addition, in the determination of the content of the production, in the case of BN role winning or ART right generation, it is difficult to select the premier single production compared to the normal single production, and moreover, compared to the second premier single production in the premier single production. The random numbers are distributed so that it is easy to determine the first premier single-shot effect. Further, in the determination of the contents of the effect, random numbers are distributed so that only the normal single effect can be determined when the BN role is not won or the ART right is not generated. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the BN winning combination or the ART right generation is definitely notified by the premier single production. Also, among the premier productions, the second premier single production is less likely to appear than the first premier single production, and can be said to be a highly rare production that players can hardly see.

  Subsequently, when the continuous production is determined as the production pattern, the sub-control CPU 41a decides the specific production content of the continuous production based on whether the BN role is won or not, or the ART right is generated or not generated (continuous production content determination). ).

  As shown in FIG. 12, the determination of the specific content of the continuous performance is made by determining whether the BN role is won or not, or the predetermined ratio (probability) is based on whether the ART right is generated or not generated. Random numbers are assigned to any one of “1 staging group”, “second staging group”, “third staging group”, and “premier staging group”. In addition, when determining the first effect group, the sub control CPU 41a further determines one of “continuous effects A” and “continuous effects B” of a plurality of types (in this embodiment, two types) “continuous effects A”. To do. Further, when determining the second effect group, the sub-control CPU 41a further finely subdivides a plurality of types (in this embodiment, five types) of “continuous effect C”, “continuous effect D”, “continuous effect E”, “ One of the continuous effects “continuous effect F” and “continuous effect G” is determined. In addition, when determining the third effect group, the sub control CPU 41a further subdivides a plurality of types (in this embodiment, four types) of “continuous effect H”, “continuous effect I”, “continuous effect J”, “ Any continuous effect of “continuous effect K” is determined. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the continuous effect of “continuous effect P” when determining the premier effect group. The sub-control CPU 41a determines the continuous effects that can be determined in each effect group equally (same ratio).

  The continuous effects of the present embodiment are performed with the contents of effects related to the character, with one character appearing from a plurality of types (in this embodiment, 12 types based on the contents of effects described later). In addition, the content of the production of the continuous production includes a normal series production that produces a similar production flow just by different characters, and a story (individually set stories associated with a specific character different from the normal production of production) Story series continuous production that is the flow of production in the (Story) format is prepared. In addition, the 1st production group and the 2nd production group specify the production content of the normal series production, and the 3rd production group and the premiere production group specify the production content of the story series production.

  In determining the specific content of the production when the production pattern is a continuous production, the third production group <the second production group <the first production group regardless of whether the BN role is won, not won, or ART rights are generated or not generated. Random numbers are distributed so that they can be easily determined in this order. In the determination of the contents of the effect, the premier effect group can be determined only when the BN role is won or the ART right is generated, and random numbers are distributed so as to be difficult to determine compared to other effect groups. In addition, in the determination of the production contents, the second production group and the third production group can be easily determined when the BN role is won or the ART right is generated, as compared with the case where the BN role is not won or the ART right is not generated. Random numbers are assigned so that it is difficult to determine one production group. In the determination of the production contents, random numbers are assigned so that any of the first to third production groups can be decided when the BN role is not won or the ART right is not generated.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, the BN winning combination or the ART right generation is definitely notified by the continuous production P of the premier production group. In addition, the continuous productions H to K, which are the third production group and become the series-type continuous production, are more likely to appear when the BN role is won or when the ART right is generated than when the BN role is not won or the ART right is not generated. It is configured to be less likely to appear compared to other continuous effects. In addition, the continuous productions C to G, which are the second production group and are normal series productions, are more likely to appear when the BN role is won or when the ART right is generated than when the BN role is not won or the ART right is not generated. It is configured to be less likely to appear compared to the continuous effects A and B. In addition, the continuous productions A and B, which are the first production group and are normal series productions, appear more easily when the BN role is not won or when the ART right is not generated than when the BN role is won or the ART right is generated. It is configured to appear more easily than the continuous production of other groups.

  That is, if the continuous effects H to K (third effect group) are less likely to appear compared to the continuous effects A to G, the BN role or ART right is generated for the player compared to the continuous effects A to G. You can have great expectations. Further, if the continuous effects C to G (second effect group) are less likely to appear than the continuous effects A and B (first effect group), the continuous effects A and B will be generated for the BN role or ART right generation. Compared with, it can make the player have high expectations. Moreover, even if the continuous effects A and B (first effect group) appear more easily than other continuous effects, the player has higher expectations for the BN role winning or ART right generation than the other continuous effects. I can't hold you. In addition, the continuous effect P (premier effect group) is less likely to appear than other continuous effects, but if it appears, the BN winning or ART right generation is confirmed.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to maintain the continuous effect being executed without determining the effect pattern or the like in order to maintain the situation during the execution of the continuous effect. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a finally notifies the winning of each BN role with the content of the effect being executed when the BN role is won during the execution of the continuous effect triggered by the non-winning of the BN role. Further, when the ART right is generated during execution of the continuous effect triggered by the absence of the ART right, the sub-control CPU 41a finally notifies the winning of the ART entry lottery with the content of the effect being executed.

Then, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines specific effect contents based on the effect pattern and the effect pattern, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control for causing the corresponding effect to be performed accordingly.
That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to obtain the determined specific effect content when the single effect is performed. In accordance with such control, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the music output mode of the speaker SP and the light emission mode of the lamp R.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, such a one-off effect is mainly performed by the effect display device 14. In the normal single-shot effect, “Win” and “X” are displayed on the effect display device 14 for one variation game and finally “Win” is derived, so that the BN role winning or ART right is obtained. Notification of occurrence is performed. Further, in the premier single-shot effect, the effect display device 14 performs a confirmed effect in which “congratulations” is displayed as an image for one variation game. In addition, in accordance with the single production on the production display device 14, the production corresponding to the speaker SP and the lamp R is also performed. In particular, in the second premier single production, “definite sound (for example,“ cure quinn ”) ) "Is output from the speaker SP, or" confirmed flash (e.g., emits light of "rainbow color") "is performed by the lamp R.

  Note that the sub-control CPU 41a controls the content of the suggested role type not to match the winning mode in the case of BN role winning or ART right generation, while the BN role non-winning or ART right not generated In this case, by controlling the content of the winning combination suggestion and the winning mode to coincide with each other, the notification of the BN winning combination or the ART right generation is performed.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 of each variable game that is the target of the continuous effect so that the determined specific effect content is obtained when the continuous effect is performed. In accordance with such control, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the music output mode of the speaker SP and the light emission mode of the lamp R.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15J, such a continuous effect is mainly performed by the effect display device 14. And in a continuous production, the display production used as the contents of production connected among these four variation games which are continued on the production display device 14 is displayed as an image.

  For example, in the case of a normal series production, as shown in FIG. 15A, the production display device 14 makes a character (in this case, a continuous production) appear as “break through the wall” for the first variation game. An effect title of “Character A Volume” informing the character A) based on A is displayed as an image, and a start effect informing the start of the continuous effect is performed. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 15B and 15C, the effect display device 14 displays “wall image” and “start” as images for the second variation game, and then the third variation. For the game, an effect is given that describes the result of the image display of “Uooo ~” representing the situation in which the character rushes toward the “wall” while making a shout. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 15D, the effect display device 14 displays an image of “breakthrough” that breaks through the “wall” for the fourth variation game, and derives the result of “success”. . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15 (e), the effect display device 14 displays an image of “unfortunate” that cannot break through the “wall” for the fourth variation game, and derives the result of “failure”.

  Further, for example, in the case of a story series continuous effect, as shown in FIG. 15 (f), the effect display device 14 displays “story” as the target for the first variation game (here, a continuous effect K). An effect title with “Character K no Maki” for notifying the character K) based on the image is displayed and a start effect for notifying the start of the continuous effect is performed. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 15G and 15H, the effect display device 14 targets the second and third variation games as “Character K is ...” and “At that time ...”. "Is displayed as an image, and the story is directed so that the story progresses. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 15 (i), the effect display device 14 displays an image such as “... is found” associated with the fourth variation game as a target, and “success”. Is derived. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15 (j), the effect display device 14 displays an image such as “... Is derived.

  The image display data constituting each continuous effect is composed of data to be played once for each variable game that is the target of the continuous effect, and each of these data is a variation that is the target of the continuous effect. As a result of displaying images in order in the game, it is possible to execute the effects of the effect contents connected between the four variable games. Further, in accordance with the continuous effect on the effect display device 14, an effect corresponding to the speaker SP and the lamp R is also performed. In particular, during the derivation of the “success” result during the continuous performance P or during each continuous performance, a “determined sound (for example,“ cure quinn ”)” is output from the speaker SP, or “definite flash (for example,“ “Luminous light” is performed by the lamp R.

The sub-control CPU 41a that controls the production contents of the continuous production in this way and performs the continuous production functions as the continuous production content determination means and the continuous production control means.
Then, after the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the BN winning combination by these single effects or continuous effects, the BN mode is started when the winning of each BN role is generated, and the effects during BN are performed during the BN mode. Control for. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the generation of the ART right by these single effects or continuous effects, and then starts the preparation mode from the next variable game triggered by the notification, and is advantageous during the ART mode from the preparation mode. Control is performed to perform preparation and production during ART (production during preparation and production during ART) as production. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a causes an effect that can be recognized to be visually the same (maintained) during the ART mode and the effect during preparation in the immediately preceding preparation mode.

Next, effects during BN and effects during preparation / ART will be described.
In the present embodiment, during the BN mode that shifts based on the occurrence of winning of each BN combination, an effect during BN is performed with the production contents corresponding to the production performed when the BN combination is won. Further, in the present embodiment, during the ART mode from the preparation mode that shifts based on the generation of the ART right, an effect during preparation / ART is performed with the production contents corresponding to the production performed when the ART right is generated.

Here, the relationship between the effect performed in the BN winning situation and the effect during BN, and the relationship between the effect performed during the ART right generation and the effect during preparation / ART will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13, the production contents of the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART are associated in advance for each production performed in the BN winning or ART right situation. It should be noted that the presentation performed in the situation where the BN winning combination or ART right is generated may not necessarily be based on the presentation pattern determined by the sub-control CPU 41a when the BN winning combination or ART right is generated. For example, there are cases where a continuous production is being triggered by other conditions, but as a result of BN winning or ART rights being generated in the middle, the continuous production may be performed in accordance with these.

  Then, the normal single-line effect or the first premier single-line effect is associated with the “normal system” effect content as the effect during BN or the effect during preparation / ART. In the production contents of the normal system, the production is performed according to the main character of the motif of the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment.

  In addition, the first and second production groups and the continuous productions A to G are associated with the production contents of “characters A to G” as “normal” as the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART. It has been. With this normal production content, the production is performed according to the character appearing in each continuous production, and it is notified that the continuous production such as the normal series production has been performed.

  Further, the third effect group, the continuous effects H to K, is “story system” as the effect during BN or the effect during preparation / ART, and the effect contents of “characters H to K” are associated with each other. . In this story-related production content, the production is performed in accordance with the character that is the center of the story of each continuous production, and it is notified that a continuous production such as a story-type continuous production has passed.

  In addition, the second premier single production or the premier production group and the continuous production P includes a “premiere” as a special production content as a production during BN or a production during preparation / ART, and a production of “character P”. The contents are associated. In this premiere production content, the production is based on the character P, which is the center of the story of the continuous production P, and the BN role selection and ART right generation such as the second premier single production and the continuous production P are definitely notified. It is informed that an effect has been made.

  In addition, in the case of a BN role winning based on a pole BN role, regardless of whether or not it is a continuous performance, regardless of the type of the continuous performance, the effect contents of the premier system are associated as the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART ing. For this reason, in the premiere production content, it may be notified that the BN mode is based on the winning of the pole BN role.

  In the present embodiment, the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART may not necessarily be based on the content determined by the sub-control CPU 41a when the BN winning or ART right is generated. However, the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART depends on the production pattern determined by the sub-control CPU 41a and the specific production content to some extent when the BN role winning or ART right generation is triggered. become.

  For this reason, the BN mode or the preparation mode and the ART mode, which are the premier production contents, are positioned as the production contents that are unlikely to appear even when the BN role is won or the ART right is generated, compared to other production contents. That is, it can be said that the premier production content is less likely to appear than the other production content, and is a highly rare production that the player cannot easily see. In addition, the BN mode or the preparation mode and ART mode, which are the contents of the story system, are more likely to appear than the premier system even when the BN role or ART rights are generated, but difficult to appear compared to the normal system. Positioned as content. In addition, the BN mode or the preparation mode or the ART mode, which is a normal production content, is positioned as a production content that appears more easily than other production content even when a BN winning or ART right is generated.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies an effect to be performed in the situation where the BN role is won or the ART right is generated, and the effect corresponding to the effect is performed as the effect during BN or the effect during preparation / ART. Therefore, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. In accordance with such control, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the music output mode of the speaker SP and the light emission mode of the lamp R.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 16A to 16D, such an effect during BN or an effect during preparation / ART is mainly performed by the effect display device 14. Then, in the effect during BN or the effect during preparation / ART, a display effect that is an effect content that can be associated with the same character is displayed on the effect display device 14 due to the same character in the continuous variation game. For example, in the production contents of the story type “character K”, the character display image of the character K is displayed in various manners for each variable game in the BN game on the production display device 14.

  In addition, in accordance with the effect during the BN on the effect display device 14 or the effect during the preparation / ART, an effect corresponding to the lamp R is performed, while the speaker SP is a music effect based on the music determined by the selection operation by the player. Is to be done. That is, among the effects during BN or during the preparation / ART, regarding the music effect, the player can definitely determine the music to be output during the BN mode, the preparation mode, and the ART mode by a selection operation. It has become. Furthermore, when there are two or more types of selected songs to be presented in this way, the player can definitely determine a favorite song from among them by a selection operation. In the ART mode, the music that was output during the immediately preceding preparation mode is taken over. In the present embodiment, the selection operation by the player is an operation for setting the number of bets, and the player inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 18 or the player operates the BET buttons 19 and 20. Yes.

  The sub-control CPU 41a, after determining the effect during BN or the effect during preparation / ART, performs control for causing the player to determine the music to be output by the speaker SP in accordance with these effects.

Next, the music to be output in the production during BN and the production during preparation / ART will be described.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of types (in this embodiment, four types) of music can be output as a production during BN or a production during preparation / ART.

  Here, the relationship between the effects performed when each BN role is won and the music that can be output as the effect during BN, and the relationship between the effects performed during the transition to the preparation mode and the music that can be output as the effect during preparation / ART will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 13, music that can be output as an effect during BN or an effect during preparation / ART is associated in advance for each effect performed in the BN role winning or ART right generation situation. It should be noted that the presentation performed in the situation where the BN winning combination or ART right is generated may not necessarily be based on the presentation pattern determined by the sub-control CPU 41a when the BN winning combination or ART right is generated. For example, there is a case where a continuous production is being triggered by other conditions, but as a result of BN winning or ART rights being generated in the middle, the continuous production may have been performed in accordance with these.

  Then, the normal single effect, the first premier single effect, or the first effect group, and the continuous effects A and B, are one type of music that can be output, and “music a” is associated with them. In other words, the normal single production effect is associated with the normal production content that enables the output of “music a”. In addition, among the normal series productions, the series productions A and B are associated with normal production contents in which “characters A and B” capable of outputting “music a” appear.

  In addition, the second production group and the continuous productions C to G are two types of music that can be output, and “music a” and “music b” are associated with each other. That is, among the normal series productions, the series productions C to G are associated with normal production contents in which “characters C to G” capable of outputting “music a” or “music b” appear. It will be.

  Further, in the third effect group, the continuous effects H and I are two types of music that can be output, and “music a” and “music c” are associated with each other. In other words, the story-related continuous effects H and I are associated with the contents of the story-related effects in which “characters H and I” that can output “music a” or “music c” appear. Will be.

  In addition, the third production group and the continuous productions J and K have three types of music that can be output, and “music a”, “music b”, and “music c” are associated with each other. In other words, the story-type production contents in which “characters J, K” capable of outputting “music a”, “music b” or “music c” appear in the continuous productions J and K are story series productions. Are associated with each other.

  In addition, in the second premier single production or premier production group P, there are four types of music that can be output: “music a”, “music b”, “music c”, “music p” "Is associated. In other words, the second premier single-stage production or the story-type continuous production, and the continuous production P includes “music a”, “music b”, “music c”, or “music p” that can be output as a premier production. Are associated with each other.

  In addition, in the case of a BN role winning based on a pole BN role, there are four types of music that can be output regardless of whether or not it is a continuous production, and “music a”, “music b” ”,“ Song c ”, and“ song p ”.

  In this way, “music a” is a music that can be output in any production during BN or production during preparation / ART, and can be output in BN mode, preparation mode, or ART mode that has shifted from any situation. It is a song that is said to be. “Song b” is a music that can be output in the BN mode, the preparation mode, or the ART mode that has transitioned through the story series continuous production in which characters J and K appear in the normal series production and the story series production. is there. The “song c” is a song that can be output in the BN mode, the preparation mode, or the ART mode, which has been shifted through the story series continuous production. The “music p” is a music that can be output in the BN mode, the preparation mode, or the ART mode, which has been shifted through the continuous production in which the character P appears in the second premier single production or the story series continuous production. The “music p” is a music that can be output during the BN mode based on the winning of the pole BN role.

  In the present embodiment, the music that can be output in the BN mode, the preparation mode, or the ART mode may not necessarily be based on the contents determined by the sub-control CPU 41a when the BN winning or ART right is generated. However, if the music that can be output in the BN mode or the preparation mode or the ART mode is triggered by the BN winning or the ART right generation, an effect pattern or a specific effect determined by the sub-control CPU 41a is triggered by these. It depends on the content to some extent.

  For this reason, the “music p” that can be output with the premier production content is positioned as production content that is less likely to appear even in the situation where the BN role is won or the ART right is generated, compared to other production content. In other words, “music p” is less likely to appear than other music, and it can be said that the music is highly rare that the player cannot easily hear. In addition, “song c” that can be output with the contents of the story system is more likely to appear than “song p” even in the situation where the BN role is won or the ART right is generated, while “song a” or “song b”. It is positioned as production content that is hard to appear compared to. In addition, “music a” that can be output in any production content is positioned as production content that appears more easily than other production content even in a situation where BN role winning or ART right is generated.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the sub-control CPU 41a identifies music that can be output in accordance with the identification of the effect performed in the situation of BN winning or ART right generation, and the music that can be output to the player. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled in order to perform a music selection effect to be selected. In accordance with such control, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the music output mode of the speaker SP and the light emission mode of the lamp R.

  In the song selection effect, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the display contents of the effect display device 14 so that one of the songs presented as options is lit and displayed more conspicuously than the other (lights out so as not to stand out). Control. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to switch the music to be lit and displayed every predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) among the music presented as options. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the music output mode of the speaker SP so that the intro of the music that is lit is output and the intro of the corresponding music is output every time the lit display is switched.

  During such a music selection effect, when the bet signal is input, that is, when a selection operation by the player is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the subsequent BN effect or preparation / ART for the music that is lit up at the time of the input. It is determined as the music to be output with medium production. The sub-control CPU 41a sets information (flags, etc.) indicating the music determined by the input of the bet signal in a predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c, and performs subsequent effects during BN and effects during preparation / ART. The music to be output can be grasped. In addition, when the bet signal is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 and the output content of the speaker SP so as to notify that the music to be lit is definitely determined.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a outputs the BN effect or the preparation / ART effect until the bet number is set after the end of the variable game in which the occurrence of the BN winning or the transition to the preparation mode is notified. A player is given a music selection period. Thereafter, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a variable game start command for instructing the start of the next variable game, that is, the first variable game after the start of the BN mode or after the transition to the preparation mode, the sub-control CPU 41a The music output mode of the speaker SP is controlled so that the music determined in accordance with the execution of the effect during ART is output.

  Since the betting number needs to be set to start the variable game, any music is selected by the player's operation when the variable game is started in the scene where the music selection effect is performed. In addition, regarding the notification of the ART right occurrence, when the number of bets is set regardless of the player's operation because it overlaps with the winning of the replay role, the music selection effect is a variable game that does not overlap with the subsequent winning of the replay role. The production during the preparation / ART is also started from the variation game. Regarding the notification of the ART right occurrence, in the BN mode, the first fluctuation after the transition to the next floating game from the end of the last variable game in which the ART right generation is notified and becomes the last in the BN mode, that is, the transition to the preparation mode. The game is performed and the production during the preparation / ART is started from the variation game.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 17A to 17C, such a music selection effect is mainly performed on the effect display device 14. In the music selection effect, a music that can be output (here, “music a”, “music b”) after the end of the variable game in which the effect display device 14 informs the occurrence of the winning of the BN role or the transition to the preparation mode. "3 types" and "music c") are presented to the player, and "determine music by bet" is displayed as an image. Note that if there is only one type of music that can be output, only one option is presented to the player. Further, in the music selection effect, a display effect for switching the music to be lit and displayed on the effect display device 14 after a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) has been displayed. That is, in the music selection effect, the music a selectable screen in which “music a” is displayed on the effect display device 14 → the music b selectable screen in which “music b” is displayed → the music c that is displayed in “music c” is displayed. In the order of selectable screen → music a selectable screen, a display effect that switches every predetermined time is displayed as an image. In the music selection effect, an intro of music that can be selected by the speaker SP is output. Further, in the music selection effect, the lighting display is changed to blinking display on the effect display device 14 when the bet number is set, and “selection confirmation sound (for example,“ burn ”)” is output from the speaker SP. . Thereafter, in the production during BN and the production during preparation / ART, the music that is definitely selected in the music selection production is output by the speaker SP.

  In accordance with the music selection effect on the effect display device 14 and the speaker SP, a corresponding effect is also performed on the lamp R. When a definitive music is determined, a “selection confirmation flash (for example,“ red ” Or “flashing”) is performed by the lamp R.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a that determines the effect of the effect during BN or the effect during preparation / ART and controls to perform these effects functions as the advantage effect determination unit and the advantage effect control unit.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, as a result of the continuous production, the production during BN when the BN mode (or the preparation mode or the ART mode) is given based on the notification of the BN winning (or ART right generation) ( Alternatively, preparation / production during ART) is determined according to the production contents of the continuous production that led to the notification.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b), in a variable game until BN winning (or ART right generation) is notified in continuous effect A, a normal series effect in which character A appears is performed. Is called. In the BN mode triggered by the occurrence of BN winning after the BN role winning notification in the normal series production, the contents of the normal production of “Character A” due to the character A appearing in the series A Production during BN is performed. In addition, after the notification of the ART right generation in the normal continuous production, the normal of “Character A” due to the character A appearing in the continuous production A during the ART mode from the preparation mode triggered by the transition to the preparation mode. Production and production during ART based on the production contents of the system. Furthermore, when this is in the BN mode, a variation game in the BN mode can be sandwiched in the middle, but in accordance with the transition to the preparation mode after the end of the BN mode, Production during ART is performed.

  As a result, the contents of the effects up to the BN mode can be associated with the contents of the effects after reaching the BN mode. In addition, the contents of the production up to the preparation mode or the ART mode can be associated with the contents of the production after reaching the preparation mode or the ART mode. Furthermore, when this is in the BN mode, the contents of the production from the BN mode to the preparation mode or the ART mode can be associated with the contents of the production after reaching the preparation mode or the ART mode from the BN mode. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to determine the contents of the normal system as the production during BN (or the production during preparation / ART) when the BN mode (or the preparation mode or the ART mode) is given without performing the continuous production. Like to do.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 18 (c) and 18 (d), a normal single-shot effect may be performed in a variable game in which a BN winning combination (or ART right generation) is notified without a continuous effect. In the BN mode triggered by the occurrence of the BN winning after the BN role winning notification in the normal single-shot effect, the effect during the BN based on the main character of the pachislot 10 motif of this embodiment Is done. In addition, after the notification of the ART right occurrence in the normal single production, the normal production contents due to the main character of the motif of the pachislot 10 of this embodiment during the ART mode from the preparation mode triggered by the transition to the preparation mode. Production and production during ART will be performed. Furthermore, when this is in the BN mode, a fluctuating game in the BN mode can be sandwiched in the middle. However, during the preparation mode / acting during the ART based on the transition to the preparation mode after completion of the BN mode, Is called.

  Thereby, a change can be given to the production during BN depending on whether a continuous production is passed. In addition, it is possible to change the production during preparation / ART depending on whether or not the continuous production is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the BN mode (or the preparation mode or the ART mode) is given without performing the continuous production, if the second premier single production is accompanied with the second premier single production, the BN medium production (or (Preparation and production during ART).

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 18E and 18F, a second premier single-shot effect may be performed in a variable game in which a BN winning combination (or ART right generation) is notified without a continuous effect. . In the BN mode triggered by the occurrence of BN winning after the BN role winning notification in the second premier single production, the content of the premier-type production and the character P that is the center of the story of the continuous production P An effect during BN based on the premiere content of “Character P” is performed. In addition, after the notification of the ART right occurrence in the second premier single production, it is the content of the premier-type production from the preparation mode triggered by the transition to the preparation mode, and the center of the story of the continuous production P. The preparation during the preparatory / art effect based on the premiere content of the “character P” associated with the character P

  As a result, it is possible to change the effect during BN not only based on whether or not the continuous effect is passed, but also depending on the effect that accompanies the case where the continuous effect is not passed. In addition, it is possible to change the production during preparation and ART not only by whether or not the continuous production is passed, but also by the production accompanying the case where the continuous production is not passed.

  In the present embodiment, if the BN mode is given in the BN mode, if the BN mode is being continuously produced, it is determined according to the content of the production during the continuous production even before the notification of the BN winning combination. Yes.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18 (a), in the variable game until the BN winning combination is notified in the continuous performance A, the normal continuous performance in which the character A appears is performed. In the BN mode triggered by the occurrence of the BN winning before the BN role winning notification in the normal continuous production, the content of the normal production of “Character A” due to the character A appearing in the continuous production A Production during BN is performed. For this reason, during the continuous production, the content of the production up to the BN mode and the content of the production after reaching the BN mode can be associated without waiting for notification of the result.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the BN mode is granted, if the BN role that is difficult to win among the BN roles is used as an opportunity, regardless of whether or not the continuous production has been passed, the premier production The content is decided. As a result, it is possible to change the effect during the BN not only by whether or not the continuous effect is passed, but also by the provision of the BN mode.

  In the present embodiment, as a result of the continuous production, the production during BN (or preparation / ART when the BN mode (or the preparation mode or the ART mode) is given based on the notification of the BN winning (or ART right generation)). As a middle production), it is possible to vary the music that can be selected by the selection operation according to the production contents of the continuous production that led to the notification.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the BN winning (or ART right generation) is notified in the continuous performance A, the music to be output in the BN performance (or the preparation / art performance) One type of “music a” can be output, and a music selection effect in which one option is presented is performed on the effect display device 14. In addition, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the BN winning combination (or ART right generation) is notified in the continuous production C, the music to be output in the BN production (or the preparation / art production) is “ Two types of music “a” and “music b” can be output, and a music selection effect in which two options are presented is performed on the effect display device 14. Furthermore, when this is in the BN mode, a change game in the BN mode can be sandwiched in the middle, but a music selection effect in which a corresponding option is presented in accordance with the transition to the preparation mode after the end of the BN mode is displayed. This is performed by the device 14.

  As a result, it is possible to associate the contents of the production up to the BN mode with the music as well as the production after reaching the BN mode. In addition, it is possible to associate the contents of the production up to the preparation mode or the ART mode with the music as well as the production after the preparation mode or the ART mode. Furthermore, when this is in the BN mode, the contents of the production from the BN mode to the preparation mode or the ART mode can be associated with the music as well as the production after the BN mode reaches the preparation mode or the ART mode. Become.

  In the present embodiment, as a result of the continuous production, the production during BN (or preparation / ART when the BN mode (or the preparation mode or the ART mode) is given based on the notification of the BN winning (or ART right generation)). In the middle production), if the continuous production connected to the notification is a story-type continuous production, the number of songs that can be selected by the selection operation is increased as compared to the normal series production.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b), when the BN winning (or ART right generation) is notified in the continuous production C which is a story series continuous production, the continuous series is a normal series production. Compared to the case where the BN winning combination (or ART right generation) is notified in the production A, many songs are presented as options.

  As a result, while there is a high possibility of being a BN role winning, it is possible to entertain more effects to the player in the BN mode that is granted as a result of passing through a series of story series that is difficult to appear in the case of a BN role winning. become able to. In addition, while there is a high possibility of ART rights being generated, as a result of passing through a series of stories that are difficult to appear in the case of ART rights being generated, the player will be able to entertain more effects in the provided preparation mode and ART mode. Will be able to.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the BN mode (or the preparation mode or the ART mode) is given without performing the continuous production, if the second premier single production is accompanied with the second premier single production, the BN medium production (or “Music p” can be selected as a preparation / production during ART).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), the second premier single-shot effect may be performed in a variable game in which a BN winning combination (or ART right generation) is notified without passing through a continuous effect. When the BN winning combination is notified in the second premier single production, “music p” can be output as music to be output in the BN production (or preparation / art production), and “music p” can be output to other music. The effect display device 14 performs a music selection effect in which an option including "" is presented. In other words, in the BN mode (or the preparation mode or the ART mode) after the announcement of the BN role selection (or ART right generation) in the second premier single production, the production during BN (or the production during preparation / ART) in the tune p ) Can be executed.

  Thereby, it becomes possible to give a change to the music in the BN effect not only by whether or not the continuous effect is passed, but also by the effect that accompanies when the continuous effect is not passed. In addition, it is possible to change the music of the production during the preparation / ART depending not only on whether or not the continuous production is passed, but also on the production when the continuous production is not performed.

  In the present embodiment, the production during BN when the BN mode is given is selected by a selection operation according to the content of the production during the continuous production, even before the notification of the BN winning combination if during the continuous production. It makes it possible to make the music that can be made different.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), in the case where the BN role winning is generated before the notification of the BN role winning in the continuous performance A, the “music a” is output as the music to be output in the BN performance. One kind of output is possible, and a music selection effect in which one option is presented is performed on the effect display device 14. In addition, as shown in FIG. 19B, in the case where the BN role winning is generated before the notification of the BN role winning in the continuous performance C, “music a”, Two types of “music b” can be output, and a music selection effect in which two options are presented is performed on the effect display device 14.

  For this reason, during the continuous production, the contents of the production up to the BN mode can be associated with the music as well as the production after reaching the BN mode without waiting for notification of the result.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the BN mode is given, if the winning of the extreme BN role that is difficult to win among the BN roles is an opportunity, the “music p” in the BN effect regardless of whether or not the continuous effect has been passed. Can be output. As a result, not only whether or not the continuous performance is passed, but also the BN mode can be given to change not only the BN performance but also the music.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When an advantageous gaming state (BN mode or preparation mode or ART mode) is granted based on a notification that the determination result of the determination means is affirmative (BN winning or ART right is generated) The advantageous during production (production during BN or production during preparation / ART) is determined according to the content of the production of the continuous production that led to the notification. As a result, the contents of the production up to the advantageous gaming state can be associated with the contents of the production after reaching the advantageous gaming state. That is, as a result of being able to give a new interest that can attract the player's interest not only whether it leads to an advantageous gaming state but also the contents of the production during that continuous production, The interest of the game can be improved.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the content of the production from each production mode (particularly the normal mode) to the BN mode can be associated with the production content after reaching the BN mode. Moreover, in this embodiment, the content of the production from each production mode (especially the normal mode or the BN mode) to the preparation mode can be associated with the production content after reaching the ART mode from the preparation mode.

  (3) The advantageous medium effect when the advantageous game state is given without going through the continuous production is configured such that the content of the production for the non-continuous production (normal system) is determined. As a result, it is possible to change the advantageous production depending on whether or not the continuous production is performed. In other words, the interest of the player can be attracted not only during the game and during the continuous production but also in the process of reaching the advantageous game state, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  (4) In the case where the advantageous game state is given, the advantageous effect is determined according to the content of the effect during the continuous effect even if the determination result of the determination means is not notified if it is in the continuous effect. did. For this reason, during the continuous production, it is possible to give new interest to the contents of the production during this time without waiting for the notification of the determination result of the determination means.

  In addition, the advantageous effect in the case where the advantageous game state is given is in the middle of the continuous effect informing that the determination result of the determination means is negative (BN role is not won or ART right is not generated). Granting of an advantageous gaming state is allowed, and if an advantageous gaming state is further granted, it is determined according to the content of the effect during the continuous effect. For this reason, even if it is during the continuous production | generation which alert | reports that the determination result of a determination means is negative during a continuous production | presentation, the new interest with respect to the content of the production in the meantime can be given.

  (5) The special production content (premier production content) is determined if the special production production (second premier single production production) is accompanied with the special production production in the case where the advantageous gaming state is given without going through the continuous production. The configuration is as follows. As a result, it is possible to change the advantageous medium effect not only based on whether or not the continuous effect is passed, but also depending on the effect when the continuous effect is not passed. In other words, the interest of the player can be attracted not only during the game and during the continuous production but also in the process of reaching the advantageous game state, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  (6) When the advantageous gaming state is given, the advantageous production during the advantageous game has undergone a continuous production if it is triggered by the winning of a special special winning role (pole BN role) that is difficult to win among the special winning roles (BN role) Regardless of whether or not the special production content is determined. As a result, it is possible to change the advantageous medium effect not only based on whether or not the continuous production is passed, but also depending on the opportunity to give the advantageous game state. In other words, the interest of the player can be attracted not only during the game and during the continuous production but also in the process of reaching the advantageous game state, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  (7) As a result of the continuous production, the advantageous production in the case where the advantageous gaming state is given based on the notification that the determination result of the determination means is affirmative, according to the production contents of the continuous production that led to the notification The production contents (music) that can be selected by the selection operation are made different. As a result, the contents of the production up to the advantageous gaming state can be associated with the contents (music) of the production after reaching the advantageous gaming state. That is, as a result of being able to give a new interest that can attract the player's interest not only whether it leads to an advantageous gaming state but also the contents of the production during that continuous production, The interest of the game can be improved.

  (8) As a result of the continuous performance, the advantageous performance in the case where the advantageous gaming state is given based on the notification that the determination result of the determination means is affirmative, the content of the continuous performance that is connected to the notification is specified. In the case of production content (story-type continuous production), the content of the production (music) that can be selected by the selection operation is increased compared to non-specific production content (normal series production). As a result, there is a high possibility that the determination result of the determination means is affirmative, but in the advantageous gaming state that is given as a result of passing through a specific content that is difficult to appear when the determination result of the determination means is affirmative, more Production (music) can be entertained by the player. And to such a pleasure, while the possibility that the determination result of the determination means is affirmative is high, a specific effect content having such a characteristic that it is difficult to appear when the determination result of the determination means is positive appears. A new interest that can be given to the player as a special benefit (consideration).

  (9) If the advantageous game state is given, the advantageous effect can be selected by a selection operation according to the content of the effect during the continuous effect even before the determination result of the determination means is notified if the effect is in a continuous effect. The production contents (music) are different. For this reason, during the continuous production, it is possible to give new interest to the contents of the production during this time without waiting for the notification of the determination result of the determination means.

  Further, when the advantageous game state is given, the advantageous effect is granted during the continuous effect informing that the determination result of the determination means is negative. If the game state is given, the contents of the contents (music) that can be selected by the selection operation are made different according to the contents of the effects during the continuous effects. For this reason, even if it is during the continuous production | generation which alert | reports that the determination result of a determination means is negative during a continuous production | presentation, the new interest with respect to the content of the production in the meantime can be given.

  (10) A configuration in which an advantageous during production in the case where an advantageous gaming state is given without passing through a continuous production can select a special production content (“music p”) by a selection operation if accompanied by a special notification production. did. As a result, it is possible to change the advantageous medium effect not only based on whether or not the continuous effect is passed, but also depending on the effect when the continuous effect is not passed. In other words, the interest of the player can be attracted not only during the game and during the continuous production but also in the process of reaching the advantageous game state, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  (11) When the advantageous game state is given, the advantageous production is the special production content regardless of whether or not the continuous production has been passed if the special special winning role that is difficult to win among the special winning roles is used. (“Music p”) can be selected by a selection operation. As a result, it is possible to change the advantageous medium effect not only based on whether or not the continuous production is passed, but also depending on the opportunity to give the advantageous game state. In other words, the interest of the player can be attracted not only during the game and during the continuous production but also in the process of reaching the advantageous game state, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In this embodiment, whether or not the red BN role is won, whether or not it is a continuous production, regardless of the type of the continuous production, a premier production is associated as a production during BN or a production during preparation / ART, The song “p” may be associated.

  -In the present embodiment, whether or not it is a continuous production even when the pole BN role is won, and depending on the type of the continuous production, the production of the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART is associated, or the music is associated Or you may.

  -In this embodiment, the winning probability of each BN combination can also be set to the same, and in this case, the role as a premium bonus can be secured by maintaining the benefits of the extreme BN combination. Further, only one type of BN combination may be used.

  -In this embodiment, the pole BN role does not have to be set as a privilege advantageous for the red BN role, but in this case, the pole BN role is difficult to win compared to the red BN role. You can secure the role as a premier bonus by maintaining. Also, benefits that are advantageous to the red BN role of the extreme BN role may be changed if it is advantageous for the game, and only for BN games based on the extreme BN role that are not related to the increase of the prize medal. The player may be able to show the player an effect or image that cannot be seen.

  In the present embodiment, even in the case of the second premier single production, the production in the BN or the preparation / ART production is associated or the music is associated in the same manner as the normal single production or the first premier single production. May be.

  In the present embodiment, in the case of the first premier single production, as in the second premier single production, the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART may be associated, or the music may be associated.

-In this embodiment, you may determine a premier system single production at the same rate. In addition, regarding the premier single-shot effect, the type may be one.
In the present embodiment, it may be associated with an effect pattern, that is, a single effect or a continuous effect, according to the winning content. For example, in the situation where the ART right is generated, only the effect pattern of the continuous effect may be associated.

  -In this embodiment, if a winning combination of BN occurs before notification of the result even though the production is in progress, the production of the production during BN or the production of the production during preparation / ART is associated with the music, Can also be associated. Further, in such a case, it is possible to associate the effects during the BN or the effects during the preparation / ART or the music in the same way as the second premier single-effect.

  -In this embodiment, when it does not pass through a continuous production, the production of the production during BN matched with the production during a continuous production or the production of the effect during preparation and ART, or a music can be matched. In this case, it may be associated in advance so that it can be determined by lottery or the effects that can be determined are limited.

  In the present embodiment, the premier single-stage effect is positioned as a confirmed effect, but even if it is not a confirmed effect, it is less likely to appear than other effects, and a certain degree of expectation for BN winning or ART right generation ( For example, if the third production group has a story-type continuous production), the role as a premium production can be secured.

  -In this embodiment, even if a so-called “predictor game” is set in which one or more fluctuating games are sandwiched until the start of a single production or continuous production leading to these notifications in the situation of BN role winning or ART right generation Good. In this separate example, with the BN role winning or ART right generation, whether or not to set “precursor” is determined in accordance with the determination of the contents of the effect of continuous production, and the setting of “precursor” is determined In this case, the continuous effect is started on the condition that one or more variable games (for example, four times) of the variable games have passed. In addition, when passing through such a "sign", it can also be set as the structure connected to a single production. Then, when a winning BN role occurs during the “precursor” as in this example, based on the performance that should have been performed through the “precursor”, the production during the BN or the production during the preparation / ART It is also possible to associate productions and music.

  In the present embodiment, the number of types of music that can be output in the production during BN or during the preparation and production during ART may be related only to the expectation of winning the BN role or generating ART rights. On the other hand, the number of types of music that can be output in the production during BN or the production during preparation / ART may be configured so as to consider only the level of BN winning or ART expectation and the appearance ratio.

  In the present embodiment, the number of types of music that can be output in the production during BN or during the preparation and production during ART can be set to the same number regardless of the level of expectation for winning the BN role or generating ART rights.

  -In this embodiment, you may change the relationship between the expectation to BN role winning or ART right generation, and the number of types of music that can be output in the production during BN or during the production during preparation / ART. That is, it is only necessary that the music itself that can be output differs depending on the situation, and the number of types (for example, three types) can be determined regardless of the situation.

  -In this embodiment, the tunes that can be output in the production or preparation during the BN are continuously notified of the BN role winning or the ART right generation, as in the production contents during the production or preparation during the BN. It is also possible to define music (character voice or character theme music) associated with the character appearing in the production or the like. Moreover, regarding a music piece, you may increase / decrease if it has multiple types.

  -In this embodiment, regarding the effect of the production during BN or the preparation and the production during ART and the association of the music that can be output by these, the preparation mode and the ART mode are considered before and after, but any production mode (general game) and It is also possible to focus only on the association with the BN mode (BN game). In other words, the preparation / art-in-progress (including music) can also be realized by a specification that does not relate to the effect in the situation where the ART right is generated.

  -In this embodiment, you may change arbitrarily the group of a continuous production and distribution of production contents. For example, the second effect group may include a story-based continuous effect, and the second effect group appears more easily than the third effect group, but a story-based continuous effect appears in the second effect group. Since it is difficult, it is only necessary that the expectation to the BN role election or ART right generation is secured. In addition, the content of the effect of the continuous effect may be increased or decreased as long as there are a plurality of types.

  In the present embodiment, when an ART right is generated during the BN mode, it is possible to switch from the middle to the BN effect corresponding to the effect that has reached the notification, triggered by the notification of the generation of the ART right.

  -In this embodiment, while making it possible for the player to select and produce the effect during the BN or the effect during the preparation / ART, the music that can be output by these can also be associated in advance. In addition, the player may be able to select a light emission effect based on the lamp R like a song.

  In the present embodiment, the music selection in the music selection effect is triggered by the setting of the number of bets. For example, levers and buttons that can be operated by other players such as the operation of the start lever 22 If so, it may be changed. In addition, a dedicated button or the like may be used to determine the music for the music selection effect. In the music selection effect, it is also possible to switch the options that the player turns on by operating the stop button or the like. In this case, the music may be confirmed by elapse of a predetermined operation valid period or setting of the start lever 22 and the number of bets.

  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. 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. Further, the period during which the ART mode is controlled can be set according to time.

  In the present embodiment, during the ART mode related to the high-definition RT game, it may be advantageous for the player. 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 various navigations may be performed by the lamp R or 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”).

The present embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko slot machine (pachislot machine) that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium.
Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.

  (A) The game that does not go through the continuous production is configured to be accompanied by a special notification production that informs that the determination result of the determination unit is affirmative.
