The main control board 40 includes a main control CPU 40a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 40b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 40a, and a main control RAM 40c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. Each reel (left reel 13L, middle reel 13C and right reel 13R), reel sensors SE1 to SE3, and medal sensor SE4 constituting the drum unit 13 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Various information display units 17 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Further, the BET button 19, the MAXBET button 20, the settlement switch 21, the start lever 22, the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, and the hopper 26 are connected to the main control CPU 40a.

  The main control CPU 40a receives first to third position signals from the connected reel sensors SE1 to SE3 in accordance with the symbols (rotational position of each rotating reel) displayed on the see-through window 16. . The left reel 13L corresponds to the first position signal, the middle reel 13C corresponds to the second position signal, and the right reel 13R corresponds to the third position signal. The main control CPU 40a grasps the rotation position and stop position of each reel based on the first to third position signals, and controls the rotation and stop of each reel based on the first to third position signals. .

  The medal detection signal indicating that a medal has been detected is input to the main control CPU 40a every time the medal sensor SE4 detects a medal from the connected medal sensor SE4. Further, when the connected BET button 19, MAXBET button 20, checkout switch 21, start lever 22, and stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are operated, the main control CPU 40a indicates that each button has been operated. Various operation signals are input.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating values of various random numbers such as winning combination determination random numbers used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The winning combination determination random number is a random number used when the main control CPU 40a determines a combination (winning combination based on the winning information group) according to the winning combination determination table. The winning information group determined by the main control CPU 40a is associated with one or more winning combinations that can be won in the variable game. In the winning information group, when a single winning combination is associated, it means a single winning of the winning combination, and when a plurality of winning combinations are associated, it means a duplicate winning of these winning combinations. . For this reason, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning combination for winning by determining a winning information group.

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

Next, the winning combination determination tables T1, T2, T3 stored in the main control ROM 40b shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B will be described.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of the winning information group to be the lottery object and the winning probability of each winning information group to be the lottery object (random values distributed to each winning information group to be the lottery object (in the range of random values) A table in which the number based on the game state is tabulated is stored. 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 RT1 game, and a winning combination determination table T3 is associated with a high-probability RT2 game.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the winning combination determination tables T1 to T3, the winning probabilities of the cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay roles based on the winning information group are defined. And in general games, the winning probability of the replay role is high probability RT1 game (1 / 3.3) and high probability RT2 game (1 / 1.9) compared to low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). Random numbers that are determined to win the winning combination are distributed. 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 RT2 game (1 / 1.9) than in the high probability RT1 game (1 / 3.3). On the other hand, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the respective small combinations other than the replay combination have the same probability.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the high probability RT1 game or the high probability RT2 game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the high probability lottery state, the amount of medals held by the player as much as replay is easily given ( It is possible to give the player a benefit that the input) can be reduced. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the high-precision RT2 game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the highest probability lottery state, the consumption (injection) of medals held by the player as much as replay is easily given. ) Can be given to the player. Such a high probability RT1 game or a high probability RT2 game is an advantageous state for the player, and among them, the high probability RT2 game is the most advantageous state for the player.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5B, the winning probability of the replay role is the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the promoted replay role in the low probability RT game (winning role determination table T1). And the winning information group in which the overlapping winnings of the normal replay role for duplication are associated with each other are defined. It should be noted that these replay winning combinations are related to the promotion replay role 1 and the normal replay role 7 associated with the promotion replay group 1, the promotion replay role 2 and the normal replay role 8 associated with the promotion replay group 2, and the promotion replay. Duplicate winnings are obtained for each combination of the promotion replay combination 3 and the normal replay combination 9 associated with the group 3.

  The winning probability of the replay role is the overlap between the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the high-reliability RT1 game (winning role determination table T2), the rush replay role, the fall replay role, and the normal replay role for duplication. Each winning probability is defined for a winning information group associated with winning, and a winning information group correlating overlapping winnings of a fall replay role and a normal replay role for duplication. In addition, the relationship of overlap winning of these replay roles is that the replay role 1 and the fall replay role 6 associated with the rush replay group 1 and the normal replay role 10 and the rush replay role 2 and the fall replay associated with the rush replay group 2 are as follows. Duplicate winning combination is made for each combination of the combination 7 and the normal replay combination 11. In addition, the relationship between the winning combinations of these replay roles is that the rush replay role 3 and the fall replay role 8 associated with the rush replay group 3, the normal replay role 12, and the rush replay role 4 and the fall replay associated with the rush replay group 4. Duplicate winning combination is made for each combination of the combination 9 and the normal replay combination 13. In addition, these replay winning combinations are related to the fall replay role 1 and the normal replay role 14 associated with the fall replay group 1, the fall replay role 2 and the normal replay role 15 associated with the fall replay group 2, and the fall replay. The winning combination of the fall replay combination 3 and the normal replay combination 16 associated with the group 3 is won in duplicate. In addition, the relationship of the winning combination of the replay roles is that each of the fall replay role 4 and the normal replay role 17 associated with the fall replay group 4 and the fall replay role 5 and the normal replay role 18 associated with the fall replay group 5. Duplicate winning combination.

  In addition, the winning probability of the replay role overlaps with the winning information group (normal replay (unquestioned) group) associated with the normal replay role (unquestioned) and the fall replay role in the highly accurate RT2 game (winning role determination table T3). The winning probabilities of the winning information group associated with the duplicate winning combination of the normal replay role for use and the winning information group associated with the special normal replay role (special replay group) are defined. It should be noted that these replay winning combinations are related to the fall replay role 1 and the normal replay role 14 associated with the fall replay group 1, the fall replay role 2 and the normal replay role 15 associated with the fall replay group 2, and the fall replay. The winning combination of the fall replay combination 3 and the normal replay combination 16 associated with the group 3 is won in duplicate. In addition, the relationship of the winning combination of the replay roles is that each of the fall replay role 4 and the normal replay role 17 associated with the fall replay group 4 and the fall replay role 5 and the normal replay role 18 associated with the fall replay group 5. Duplicate winning combination. In this embodiment, the special normal replay combination (normal replay combination 1 to normal replay combination 6) is defined as a combination that can be won only in the high-definition RT2 game.

  In the following description, “winning a normal replay role (unquestioned)” means winning of a winning information group associated with winning of a normal replay role. In addition, in the case of “winning of the promotion replay role”, it means winning of the promotion replay groups 1 to 3. In addition, the “winning of the rush replay role” means winning of the rush replay groups 1 to 4. In addition, the phrase “winning the fall replay role” means winning the fall replay groups 1 to 5.

  In addition, the term “special normal replay winning” means winning a special replay group. Incidentally, the special replay group includes a special replay group 1 to a special replay group 6, and the special replay group 1 is associated with the winning of the special normal replay role 1. Further, the special replay group 2 is associated with the winning of the special normal replay role 2, and the special replay group 3 is associated with the winning of the special normal replay role 3. The special replay group 4 is associated with the winning of the special normal replay role 4, and the special replay group 5 is associated with the winning of the special normal replay role 5. Similarly, the special replay group 6 is associated with the winning of the special normal replay combination 6.

  The term “cherry winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with the winning cherry. The term “watermelon winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with winning a watermelon winning. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role” or “winning of the left correct bell role”, it means winning of the winning information group associated with the winning of the left correct bell role. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role” or “winning of the medium correct bell role”, it means winning of the winning information group associated with the win of the medium correct bell role. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role” or “winning of the right correct bell role”, it means winning of a winning information group associated with winning of the right correct bell role.

Hereinafter, the sub-control board 41 will be described with reference to FIG.
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 decoration lamp La.

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub-control ROM 41b displays a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker SP, and a light emission effect indicating the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La. A pattern is stored. 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 CPU 41a stores (sets) sub-status information (such as a flag) related to the gaming status in the sub-control RAM 41c.

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

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

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started. Then, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number from the main control RAM 40c, and the value belongs to the range of each winning combination value in the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. A role lottery is performed to determine whether or not there is. In the role lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning information group to be won using a winning combination determination table corresponding to the gaming state. In this way, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination of the winning combination associated with the winning information group by determining the winning information group. Note that the main control CPU 40a includes the state information (flag) indicating the gaming state. Etc.) is set in the main control RAM 40c to grasp the gaming state. 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 information group, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of winning combination associated with the determined winning information group. That is, when the main control CPU 40a determines that a small role is won, the main control RAM 40c becomes small by the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not the small role is won. Erase (clear) the role information of the role. For this reason, 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 game state or a production 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 instructs a combination of a plurality of combination information if the winning combination is duplicate. 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. At this time, the speed at which each reel rotates is the normal speed at which each reel rotates. 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.
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 based on the determined winning information group. The combination of symbols is stopped and displayed. 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. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that performs stop control of each reel based on the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R functions as a derivation control means.

  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 stop eye when the timing of the stop operation 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, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the off-stop stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won. In this case, a watermelon role is missed.

  Then, any winning combination of the small combination is not determined, that is, when the extraordinary combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stoppage stop 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 a replay combination (promotion replay combination, rush replay combination, fall replay combination, normal replay combination) will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 7A to 7D, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the replay role (promotional replay role, rush replay role, fall replay role, normal for duplication, among the winning replay roles) The control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is different when the replay role is won.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, in the present embodiment, in the winning of the promotion replay role, the promotion stop eye (shown as “promotion” in FIG. 9A) is stopped and displayed for each promotion replay group. Each push order for promotion is defined. Also, in order to correspond to this, the normal push order for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye (shown as “normal” in FIGS. 9A and 9B) is determined for each promotion replay group. ing. And in this embodiment, the pushing order corresponding to each is selected based on the winning of any promotion replay combination.

  In FIG. 9A, [left middle right] and the like indicate the order in which the reels are stopped, that is, the stop button stop operation order from the front. Incidentally, the notation of [left middle right] means stop operation in the order of stop button 23L (left) → stop button 23C (middle) → stop button 23R (right).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the main control CPU 40a is arranged so as to straddle only one of the winning lines L2 when the push order for promotion is based on the promotion replay winning (promotion winning) [ [Watermelon Replay Replay], that is, stop the promotion stop eye. In the following description, the term “promotion prize” means a stop display of a promotion stop eye based on a promotion replay role associated with each promotion replay group.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7D, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays [Replay / Replay / Replay], that is, the normal stop eye when the normal push order is based on the winning of the promoted replay role. . The normal stop eye is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L1. In the following description, “normal winning” means a stop display of a normal stop eye of [Replay / Replay / Replay] on the winning line based on the normal replay combination associated with each replay group.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, in the promoted replay group 1, the push order of [middle left and right] is determined as the push order for promotion. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 1 is elected, the promotion stop eye that becomes the promotion prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [middle right and left]. On the other hand, in the promoted replay group 1, a push order other than [middle left and right] is defined as a normal push order. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 1 is won, a normal winning is based on the normal replay role 7 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the promotion replay role 1 associated with the promotion replay group 1 by a stop operation other than [middle left and right]. The normal stop eye is stopped.

  Further, in the promoted replay group 2, the pressing order of “middle right left” is defined as the pushing order for promotion. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 2 is won, the promotion stop eye that becomes the promotion prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle right / left] stop operation. On the other hand, in the promoted replay group 2, a pressing order other than [middle right left] is defined as a normal pressing order. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 2 is won, a normal winning is based on the normal replay combination 8 that is in a duplicated relationship with the promotion replay combination 2 associated with the promotion replay group 2 by a stop operation other than [middle right left]. The normal stop eye is stopped.

  Further, in the promotion replay group 3, the pushing order of [middle right / left] or [middle right / left] is defined as the pushing order for promotion. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 3 is elected, the promotion stop eye that becomes the promotion prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [Right Middle Left] or [Right Middle Left]. On the other hand, in the promoted replay group 3, a pressing order different from [Right middle left] and [Right middle left] is defined as a normal pushing order. For this reason, when the promotion replay group 3 is elected, the normal replay role 9 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the promotion replay role 3 associated with the promotion replay group 3 by a stop operation other than [right middle left] and [right middle left] A normal stop eye that is a normal winning based on is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the winning replay role, the pressing order for rushing for stopping and displaying the rushing stop eye (shown as “rushing” in FIG. 9A) is determined for each rushing replay group. It has been. Further, in order to correspond to this, a push order for fall for stopping and displaying a fall stop eye (shown as “falling” in FIG. 9A) is defined for each rush replay group. Further, in order to correspond to this, a normal push order for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each rush replay group. And in this embodiment, the pressing order corresponding to each is selected based on the winning of any rush replay combination.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the main control CPU 40a is arranged so as to straddle only one winning line L2 in the case of the pushing order for rushing based on the winning of the rushing replay role (rushing winning). [Watermelon / Replay / Watermelon], that is, the entry stop eye is stopped. In the following description, the term “rush entry prize” means a stop display of the entry stop eye based on the entry replay combination associated with each entry replay group.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 7B, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays [Bell Replay Bell], that is, the fall stop eye when the order for the fall falls based on the winning of the rush replay role. . In addition, about a fall stop eye, it stops and displays so that it may straddle only one winning line L3. In the following description, the term “falling prize” means a stop display of a fall stop eye based on a fall replay combination associated with each replay group. Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), the main control CPU 40a selects [Replay / Replay / Replay], that is, the normal stop eye when the normal push order is based on the winning of the rush replay role. Stop display.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, in the rush replay group 1, the pushing order of [left middle right] and [left and right middle] is determined as the pushing order for rushing. For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay group 1, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [left middle right] or [left and right middle]. In the rush replay group 1, the pressing order of [middle right and left] and [middle right and left] is determined as the normal pushing order. For this reason, when the rush replay group 1 is elected, the normal replay role 10 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the rush replay role 1 associated with the rush replay group 1 by the stop operation of [Right Middle Left] or [Right Middle Left] is used. The normal stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed. In the rush replay group 1, a pressing order other than [left middle right], [right and left middle], [right left middle] and [right middle left] is defined as a pressing order for falling. Therefore, when the rush replay group 1 is elected, the rush replay role associated with the rush replay group 1 by a stop operation other than [left middle right], [right and left middle], [right middle left], and [right middle left]. The fall stop eye that becomes a drop-in prize based on the fall replay combination 6 that is in a duplicate winning relationship with 1 is stopped and displayed.

  In the rush replay group 2, the pressing order of [middle left and right] is defined as the pressing order for rushing. Therefore, when the rush replay group 2 is won, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle left and right] stop operation. In the rush replay group 2, the pressing order of [middle right left] is defined as the normal pressing order. For this reason, when the rush replay group 2 is won, a normal winning is based on the normal replay role 11 that has a relationship of overlapping rush with the rush replay role 2 associated with the rush replay group 2 by the stop operation of [middle right left]. The stop eye is stopped. In the rush replay group 2, a pressing order other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] is defined as a pushing order for falling. For this reason, when the rush replay group 2 is won, the tumbling replay role 7 that is in a relationship of overlapping winning with the rush replay role 2 associated with the rush replay group 2 by a stop operation other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] The roll stop eye that becomes the roll-down prize based on the stop is displayed.

  Further, in the rush replay group 3, the pressing order of [middle right / left] is determined as the pressing order for rushing. For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay group 3, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle right left] stop operation.

For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay group 3, a normal winning is based on the normal replay role 12 that is in the relationship of the rush replay role 3 associated with the rush replay group 3 and the overlapping winning match by the stop operation of [middle left and right]. The stop eye is stopped. In the rush replay group 3, a pressing order other than [middle right / left] and [middle left / right] is defined as a pressing order for falling. For this reason, when the rush replay group 3 is won, the tumbling replay role 8 that has a relationship of overlapping winning with the rush replay role 3 associated with the rush replay group 3 by a stop operation other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] The roll stop eye that becomes the roll-down prize based on the stop is displayed.

  Also, in the rush replay group 4, the pressing order of [middle right and left] and [middle right and left] is determined as the pushing order for rushing. For this reason, when the rush replay group 4 is won, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed by the [right middle left] or [right middle left] stop operation. Further, in the rush replay group 4, the pressing order of [left middle right] and [left and right middle] is determined as the normal pressing order. For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay group 4, the normal replay role 13 that has a duplicate winning relationship with the rush replay role 4 associated with the rush replay group 4 by a stop operation of [left middle right] or [right and left middle] is used. The normal stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed. In the rush replay group 4, the pressing order of [left middle right], [right and left middle], [right left middle] and [right middle left] is defined as the falling pushing order. Therefore, when the rush replay group 4 is won, the rush replay role associated with the rush replay group 4 by a stop operation other than [left middle right], [right and left middle], [right middle left], and [right middle left]. 4 and the drop stop eye that is a drop winning prize based on the fall replay combination 9 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with 4 is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the winning of the fall replay role, a fall order for fall for stopping and displaying the fall stop eye is defined for each fall replay group. Further, in order to cope with this, a normal push order for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each fall replay group. And in this embodiment, the pressing order corresponding to each is selected based on the winning of any fall fall replay combination.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the main control CPU 40a is arranged so as to straddle only one winning line L3 when the falling push order is based on the winning of the falling replay role (falling winning). [Bell Replay Bell], that is, the fall stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7D, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays [Replay / Replay / Replay], that is, the normal stop eye when the normal push order is based on the winning of the fall replay combination. .

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, in the fall replay group 1, a push order other than [left middle right] and [left and right middle] is defined as a push order for fall. For this reason, when the fall replay group 1 is elected, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [left middle right] and [right and left middle]. On the other hand, in the fall replay group 1, the pressing order of [middle left / right] and [middle left / right] is determined as the normal pushing order. For this reason, when the fall replay group 1 is elected, the normal replay role 14 that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the fall replay role 1 associated with the fall replay group 1 by the stop operation of [left middle right] or [right and left middle] is used. The normal stop eye that is a normal winning based is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the fall replay group 2, a push order other than [middle left and right] is defined as a push order for fall. For this reason, when the fall replay group 2 is won, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [middle left and right]. On the other hand, in the fall replay group 2, the pressing order of [middle left and right] is set as the normal pressing order. For this reason, when the fall replay group 2 is won, the normal winning is based on the normal replay role 15 that is in a relationship with the fall replay role 2 associated with the fall replay group 2 by the stop operation of “middle left and right” and the duplicate win. The stop eye is stopped.

  Further, in the fall replay group 3, a push order other than [middle right left] is defined as a push order for fall. For this reason, when the fall replay group 3 is won, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [middle right left]. On the other hand, in the fall replay group 3, the pressing order of [middle right left] is set as the normal pressing order. For this reason, when the fall replay group 3 is won, the normal winning is based on the normal replay role 16 that has a relationship of the fall replay role 3 associated with the fall replay group 3 and the duplicate win by the stop operation of [middle right / left]. The stop eye is stopped.

  Further, in the fall replay group 4, a pushing order other than [Right / Left / Middle] is defined as a pushing order for fall. For this reason, when the fall replay group 4 is won, a fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [Right / Left / Right]. On the other hand, in the fall replay group 4, the pressing order of [Right / Left / Middle] is determined as the normal pressing order. For this reason, when the fall replay group 4 is won, the normal winning is based on the normal replay role 17 that is in a relationship with the fall replay role 4 associated with the fall replay group 4 by the stop operation of [Right / Left / Right]. The stop eye is stopped.

  Also, in the fall replay group 5, a push order other than [Right Middle Left] is defined as the push order for fall. For this reason, when the fall replay group 5 is won, the fall stop eye that becomes a fall prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [Right Middle Left]. On the other hand, in the fall replay group 5, the pressing order of [right middle left] is determined as the normal pressing order. For this reason, when the fall replay group 5 is won, the normal winning is based on the normal replay role 18 that is in a duplicated win relationship with the fall replay role 5 associated with the fall replay group 5 by the stop operation of [Right Middle Left]. The normal stop eye is stopped.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7D, when the normal replay combination (unquestioned) is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays [Replay / Replay / Replay], that is, the normal stop eye.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9B, in this embodiment, when the normal replay combination (unquestioned) is selected, the normal replay combination (unquestioned) is performed regardless of the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons (regardless of the pressing order). The normal stop eye that is a normal winning based on) is stopped and displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8E, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the special normal replay role 1 to the special normal replay role 6 (normal replay role 1 to normal replay) among the normal replay roles. When winning the combination 6), the control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is different.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, in this embodiment, in the winning of the special normal replay role, the special stop eye (shown as “special” in FIG. 9B) is stopped and displayed for each special replay group. Each push order is determined. Further, in the present embodiment, in the winning of the special normal replay role, a push for stopping and displaying the non-special stop eye (shown as “non-special stop eye” in FIG. 9B) for each special replay group role. Each order is defined. Further, in the present embodiment, in the winning of the special normal replay combination, the pressing order for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each special replay group combination. Also, the types of non-special stop eyes to be stopped and displayed as non-special stop eyes are determined for each special replay group. In the following explanation, when the special replay role for special is won, the push order for stopping and displaying the special stop eye is called `` push order for special stop '', and the push order for making the non-special stop eye stop and display This is called “Push order for non-special stop”. In addition, when the special normal replay combination is won, the push order for displaying the normal stop eye in a stopped manner is referred to as “normal stop push order”.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the main control CPU 40a straddles only one winning line L1 when the special stopping push order (special winning) is based on the special normal replay winning combination (special winning). [Bar / Bar / Bar], that is, the special stop eye is stopped and displayed. In the following description, “special prize” means a stop display of a special stop eye based on a special normal replay combination associated with each special replay group.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8B to 8D, the main control CPU 40a has only one on the winning line L1 when the non-special stop push order is based on the winning of the special normal replay combination. [Bar / Bar / Replay], [Bar / Replay / Bar] or [Replay / Bar / Bar], that is, the non-special stop eye is stopped and displayed. In the following description, the term “non-special prize” means a stop display of a non-special stop eye based on a special normal replay combination associated with each special replay group.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8E, the main control CPU 40a, in the case of the normal stop push order based on the winning of the special normal replay role, spans only one pay line L1 [Replay [Replay / Replay], that is, the normal stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, in the special replay group 1, [left middle right] is defined as the pressing order for special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 1 is won, the special stop eye that becomes a special prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [left middle right]. In the special replay group 1, [middle left and right] is defined as the push order for non-special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 1 is won, the left and right non-special stop eyes that become non-special prizes are stopped and displayed by the [left and right middle] stop operation. Further, in the special replay group 1, a pressing order other than [left middle right] and [right and left middle] is set as a normal stopping push order. For this reason, when the special replay group 1 is won, a normal stop eye that is normally won by a stop operation other than [left middle right] or [left and right middle] is stopped and displayed.

  In the special replay group 2, [middle left and right] is defined as the push order for special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 2 is won, the special stop eye that becomes a special prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [Middle]. In the special replay group 2, [left middle right] is defined as the push order for non-special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 2 is won, the left middle non-special stop eye, which becomes a non-special prize, is stopped and displayed by the [left middle right] stop operation. In the special replay group 2, a pressing order other than [left middle right] and [right and left middle] is set as a normal stopping push order. For this reason, when the special replay group 2 is won, a normal stop eye that is a normal winning is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [left middle right] or [left and right middle].

  In the special replay group 3, [middle left and right] is defined as the pushing order for special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 3 is won, the special stop eye that is a special prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle left and right] stop operation. In the special replay group 3, [middle right left] is defined as the push order for non-special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 3 is won, the middle right non-special stop eye, which becomes a non-special prize by the stop operation of [middle right left], is stopped and displayed. In the special replay group 3, a pressing order other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] is defined as a pressing order for normal stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 3 is won, the normal stop eye that is normally won by a stop operation other than [middle left / right] or [middle right / left] is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the special replay group 4, [middle right / left] is defined as the pressing order for special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 4 is won, the special stop eye that becomes a special prize is stopped and displayed by the [middle right / left] stop operation. In the special replay group 4, [middle right and left] is defined as the push order for non-special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 4 is won, the left middle non-special stop eye, which is a non-special prize, is stopped and displayed by the [middle left / right] stop operation. Further, in the special replay group 4, a pressing order other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] is determined as a pushing order for normal stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 4 is won, the normal stop eye that is normally won by a stop operation other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] is stopped and displayed.

  Further, in the special replay group 5, [middle right and left] is defined as the push order for special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 5 is won, the special stop eye that is a special prize is stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [middle right and left]. In the special replay group 5, [right middle left] is defined as the push order for non-special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 5 is won, the middle right non-special stop eye that becomes a non-special prize is stopped and displayed by the [right middle left] stop operation. Further, in the special replay group 5, a pressing order other than [Right Left Middle] and [Right Middle Left] is defined as a normal stopping push order. For this reason, when the special replay group 5 is won, a normal stop eye that is a normal prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [middle right / left] and [middle right / left].

  In the special replay group 6, [right middle left] is defined as the pushing order for special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 6 is won, the special stop eye that is a special prize is stopped and displayed by the [right middle left] stop operation. In the special replay group 6, [middle right and left] is defined as the push order for non-special stop. For this reason, when the special replay group 6 is won, the left and right non-special stop eyes that become non-special winnings are stopped and displayed by the stop operation of [Right / Left / Right]. Further, in the special replay group 6, a pressing order other than [Right Left Middle] and [Right Middle Left] is determined as a normal stopping push order. For this reason, when the special replay group 6 is won, a normal stop eye that is a normal prize is stopped and displayed by a stop operation other than [Middle Right / Left] or [Middle Right / Left].

  In this way, the stop button to be operated first among the three stop buttons is determined to be the same for the special stop push order determined for the special replay group and the non-special stop push order. On the other hand, the normal stop push order determined for the special replay group is different from the special stop push order and the non-special stop push order in the stop button operated first among the three stop buttons. For this reason, if the push order for special stop or non-special stop specified for the special replay group is the same as the stop button operated first, the bar stops at the middle of the reel corresponding to the operated stop button. Will be displayed.

  In addition, even if the stop button is operated in the order for non-special stop specified in the special replay group, the bar is stopped and displayed in the middle of the reel corresponding to the stop button operated the second time. A stop eye is defined for each special replay group. As a result, when the stop button to be operated first among the three stop buttons is a stop button that matches the pressing order for the special stop and the non-special stop, the last (third) stop button is operated. Until now, it cannot be specified whether the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the winning line is the special stop eye or the non-special stop eye. If the special replay group is selected, the special regular replay role will be awarded even if any combination of special stop eyes, non-special stop eyes, and normal stop eyes is stopped on the winning line. As a result, replay is given to the player.

  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 effect state and control for paying out a prize medal 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 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, two cherry winnings are generated at the same time, and control for paying out four award medals corresponding to twice the two is performed. 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 displaying the bell stop eye which becomes the bell winning when determining the winning of the bell role, three bell winnings are generated at the same time, which is three times the four. Control is performed to pay out 12 award medals corresponding to this. 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 a gaming state and a production state, which will be described later.

  When determining the winning of a replay role (normal replay role, promoted replay role, rush replay role, falling replay role), 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. Furthermore, when determining the winning of the promotion replay combination, the rush replay combination, or the falling replay combination, control regarding the transition of the gaming state and the production state, which will be described later, may be performed.

Next, a mode of transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the changing game according to the gaming state will be described.
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 CPU 41a to grasp the gaming state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the main control CPU 40a wins the promotion replay role during the control of the low probability RT game (shown as “low probability RT” in FIG. 10) and is promoted in the push order for promotion. In response to the occurrence of a prize, the game is shifted (promoted) to a highly probable RT1 game (shown as “highly probable RT1” in FIG. 10). Note that the main control CPU 40a continues (maintains) the low-accuracy RT game when the promotion replay combination is won and the normal push order is generated and the normal winning is generated. That is, in the low probability RT game, when the promotion stop eye that wins the promotion replay role and becomes a promotion prize is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the high probability RT1 game is satisfied. In addition, the low-probability RT game is continued because the transition condition to the high-definition RT1 game is not satisfied, when the normal stop eye that is won in the promotion replay combination and is normally won is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, during the control of the high-accuracy RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a wins the fall replay role and pushes the fall, or wins the rush replay role and falls for the fall. At the moment, it shifts (falls) to low probability RT game. The main control CPU 40a wins the high-reliability RT1 game in response to the occurrence of a normal prize winning in the normal push order by winning the fall replay role or in the normal push order by winning the rush replay role. Continue (maintain). On the other hand, during the control of the high-reliability RT1 game, the main control CPU 40a wins the rush replay role and becomes a push-in order for rushing to make a transition (promote) to the high-reliability RT2 game in response to the occurrence of the rushing prize. In other words, in the high-definition RT1 game, when the fall stop eye that becomes a drop-in prize by winning the fall replay role or the rush replay role is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the low-probability RT game is satisfied. Also, in the high-definition RT1 game, when the entry stop eye that becomes a rush-in prize by winning the rush replay role is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the high-precision RT2 game (shown as “high-precision RT2” in FIG. 10) Is satisfied. In addition, the high-definition RT1 game is continued because the transition condition to the high-definition RT2 game is not satisfied when the normal stop eye that is won as a fall replay combination or a rush replay combination and is a normal winning stop is displayed.

  In addition, during the control of the high-accuracy RT2 game, the main control CPU 40a is elected to the fall replay role and becomes a push-down order for the fall and makes a transition (falls) to the low-accuracy RT game in response to the occurrence of the drop-in prize. Note that the main control CPU 40a continues (maintains) the high-definition RT2 game in response to the occurrence of the normal winning in the normal pushing order by winning the fall replay combination. That is, in the high probability RT2 game, when the fall replay combination is won and the fall stop eye is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the low probability RT game is satisfied. In addition, the high-probability RT2 game is continued because the transition condition to the low-probability RT game is not satisfied, when the fall replay combination is won and the normal stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, during the control of the high-accuracy RT2 game, the main control CPU 40a wins the role of the bell and makes a transition to the low-accuracy RT game when a bell spill occurs. It should be noted that the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role during the control of the high-accuracy RT2 game and continues the high-accuracy RT2 game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of the bell winning. That is, in the high-definition RT2 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 is satisfied. Also, in the high-precision RT2 game, when the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and wins the bell is stopped and 12 prize medals are obtained, the transition condition to the low-definition RT game is not satisfied and is continued. The Thus, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that controls the transition of the gaming state functions as a gaming state control means.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a manages the effect state of the effect display device 14 according to the game state. In such an effect state, control is performed according to the game state from the type. The effect states in the present embodiment are classified into a plurality of types.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, in the effect state, there is an ART mode that is performed when the game state is a high-definition RT2 game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the ART mode. This ART mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state, and an effect of assisting (assisting) a fall-off prize avoidance and a bell prize. In other words, in the present embodiment, an ART mode can be accompanied by a high-accuracy RT2 game that is in an advantageous gaming state.

  Further, the effect state includes a preparation mode that is performed when the gaming state is a high-definition RT1 game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the preparation mode. This preparation mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state, and an effect of assisting the entry prize, the avoidance of the drop-in prize and the bell prize is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, a high-reliability RT1 game that is in a preparation game state can be accompanied by a preparation mode.

  The effect state includes a normal mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the normal mode. This normal mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state, and the effect of assisting the promotion prize or the bell prize is not performed. Further, the effect state includes a normal mode (navigation standby) which is performed in a situation where the gaming state is a low-probability RT game and a right to shift to the ART mode described later is generated. In the normal mode (navigation standby), the effect display device 14 is roughly configured the same as the display image for the normal mode, and a character image such as “waiting” is displayed on the display screen. The This normal mode (navigation standby) is a state where the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state as in the normal mode, while providing an effect to assist the promotion prize or the bell prize. That is, in the present embodiment, the normal mode and the normal mode (navigation standby) can be involved in the low-probability RT game that is in the normal game state.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a grasps (manages) the controlled effect state by setting an effect flag (information) indicating the type of effect state in the main control RAM 40c. Further, every time the effect flag of the main control RAM 40c is set, the main control CPU 40a outputs an effect instruction command for specifying the effect state after the setting to the sub control CPU 41a. This effect instruction command causes the sub-control CPU 41a to grasp the effect state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  Hereinafter, management of the production state by the main control CPU 40a will be described. The production state is controlled so as to shift the production state in the form shown in FIG. 11 by managing each production state described below.

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the normal mode (while setting the effect flag indicating the normal mode). In the normal mode, winning and winning of the normal replay role (unquestioned), the promoted replay role, and the normal replay role for duplication that overlaps with the promoted replay role may occur as the replay role.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a performs an ART entry lottery when the winning of a small role is instructed. This ART rush lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, the total is 1/260) based on the winning combination. The main control CPU 40a generates the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the “winning” result in the ART entry lottery. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a does not generate the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the “non-winning” result in the ART entry lottery.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode in the ART flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c. . The ART flag is set with a value indicating that the right to enter the ART mode has not been generated when the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred. Further, when a value indicating the occurrence of the right to enter the ART mode is set in the ART flag, the state is shifted to the ART mode, and then the ART mode is terminated, thereby indicating that the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred in the ART flag. Value is set.

  When the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode in the ART flag, the main control CPU 40a notifies the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. Shift to normal mode (navigation standby). At this time, the main control CPU 40a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode (navigation standby). Incidentally, at this time, the low probability RT game is continued in the gaming state.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a 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, it is not allowed to enter normal mode (navigation standby) or preparation mode even if it is promoted, or it is not allowed to enter ART mode even if it enters accidentally, or ART entry lottery is not performed Or, an ART rush lottery is performed, but a “non-winning” result is always derived. Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the promotion stop eye cannot occur at the first operation of the stop button 23L, that is, the push order in which the stop button 23L is first operated is set as the push order for promotion of the promotion replay role. Not. Thus, during the normal mode, when the ART flag is set to a value indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not been generated, the normal mode (navigation standby), the preparation mode, the ART mode, etc. are not transferred. For this reason, in this embodiment, when the ART flag is set to a value indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not occurred, the normal mode (navigation standby) and the transition to the ART mode through the preparation mode, that is, the high accuracy A situation in which a transition to a high-definition RT2 game through the RT1 game is not expected.

Next, control related to the normal mode (navigation standby) will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of a winning combination and winning a prize during normal mode (navigation standby) (while setting an effect flag indicating normal mode (navigation standby)). In the normal mode (Navi standby), as a replay role, a normal replay role (unquestioned) and a promoted replay role, that is, winning of a normal replay role and winning can occur.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the preparation mode in the case of promoting a prize in the normal mode (navigation standby). At this time, the main control CPU 40a sets an effect flag indicating the preparation mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from the low probability RT game to the high probability RT1 game.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning a prize during the preparation mode (while setting the effect flag indicating the preparation mode). During the preparation mode, as a replay role, a normal replay role (unquestioned), a fall replay role, a normal replay role for duplication that overlaps with the fall replay role, a rush replay role, and a duplicate win with the rush replay role Winning and winning a fall replay role and a normal replay role for duplication may occur.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the ART mode when entering a prize during the preparation mode. At this time, the main control CPU 40a sets an effect flag indicating the ART mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from the high probability RT1 game to the high probability RT2 game.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning in the ART mode (during setting of the effect flag indicating the ART mode). During the ART mode, as a replay role, a normal replay role (unquestioned), a fall replay role, a normal replay role for duplication that overlaps with the fall replay role, and a special normal replay role will be won and won. obtain.

  Further, when starting the control of one set of ART mode, the main control CPU 40a uses the remaining G number (in this embodiment, “50 times”) indicating the minimum number of times of the variable game for one set of the ART mode as the main control. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a sets the first half G number (in this embodiment, “6 times”) with the start of one set of the ART mode. Further, when the remaining G number reaches a predetermined number (in this embodiment, “9 times”), the main control CPU 40a sets the second half G number (in this embodiment, “9 times”). Note that the first half G number being set means that the first half G number is “1 or more”, and if the first half G number is not being set, the first half G number is “0 (zero)”. It means that there is. Similarly, the fact that the latter half G number is set means that the latter half G number is “1 or more”, and that the latter half G number is not set means that the latter half G number is “0 (zero)”. It means that.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the remaining G number every time a variable game is performed during the ART mode. In addition, when the first half G number is set during the ART mode, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the first half G number together with the remaining G number every time a variable game is performed. In addition, when the second half G number is set during the ART mode, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the second half G number together with the remaining G number every time a variable game is performed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a remaining G number command for specifying the updated remaining G number to the sub control CPU 41a every time the remaining G number is updated during the ART mode. Further, when the first half G number is set during the ART mode, the main control CPU 40a sends a first half G number command for designating the updated first half G number to the sub control CPU 41a every time the first half G number is updated. Output. Further, when the second half G number is set during the ART mode, the main control CPU 40a sends a second half G number command for designating the second half G number to the sub control CPU 41a every time the second half G number is updated. Output.

  Further, when starting control of one set of ART modes, the main control CPU 40a performs continuous lottery as to whether or not to continue control of one set of ART modes in the ART mode of the set. Then, when the main control CPU 40a performs continuous lottery, the main control RAM 40c stores continuous lottery information indicating the lottery result of the continuous lottery.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins a specific combination (in this embodiment, a watermelon combination and a cherry combination) during the ART mode, whether or not to add the remaining G number and when to add the remaining G number. An extra lottery to determine whether to add only. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a adds (adds) the number of additions to the remaining G number from “10 times”, “30 times”, “50 times”, “100 times”, and “200 times”. The number of times of addition).

  The main control CPU 40a determines the addition of the remaining G number in the extra lottery during the ART mode, and when the latter half G number is not set, the number of times to add to the remaining G number determined in the extra lottery Is added to the remaining G number. On the other hand, during the ART mode, the main control CPU 40a decides to add the remaining G number in the extra lottery, and when the second half G number is set, the fact that the continuous lottery information has been won for the continuous lottery. Rewrite to the continuous lottery information shown. At the same time, the main control CPU 40a adds the number of times to be added to the remaining G number determined by the extra lottery to the reserved extra number indicating the number of times to be added to the next set, and stores it in the main control RAM 40c.

  Further, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the main control CPU 40a stores continuous lottery information indicating that the continuous lottery is won (in FIG. 11, “continuous” is indicated). Again, the minimum number of times of the variable game for one set of ART mode is stored in the main control RAM 40c as the remaining G number. At this time, if the number of on-hold additions in the main control RAM 40c is “1 or more”, the main control CPU 40a adds the number of remaining additions to the minimum number of variable games for one set of ART mode. Is stored in the main control RAM 40c. In addition, after adding the number of times of reserve addition, the main control CPU 40a deletes the number of times of reserve addition (sets “0 (zero)”). Then, the main control CPU 40a starts controlling one set of ART mode again (performs continuous lottery or the like).

  On the other hand, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the main control CPU 40a stores the continuous lottery information indicating that the continuous lottery is not won (in FIG. 11, “non-continuous”). Show), and shift to high-definition RT production. At this time, the main control CPU 40a sets an effect flag indicating a highly accurate RT effect. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time is a high-precision RT2 game. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not occurred in the ART flag in accordance with the shift from the ART mode to the high-accuracy RT mode.

Next, control related to the high-definition RT effect will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning a prize during the high-definition RT effect (while the effect flag indicating the high-definition RT effect is being set). During high-definition RT production, as a replay role, there are a normal replay role (unquestioned), a fall replay role, a normal replay role for duplication that overlaps with the fall replay role, and a special normal replay role for winning and winning. Can occur.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the normal mode in the case of missing the bell role or falling in the high-definition RT effect. At this time, the main control CPU 40a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from the high-probability RT2 game to the low-probability RT game.

As described above, the main control CPU 40a that manages the transition or stay of the production state related to the progress of the game functions as the production state management means in the present embodiment.
Next, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various commands such as a variable game start command and a winning instruction command, the display content of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker SP are executed so as to execute various effects based on the content instructed by the command. The output content and the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La 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.

  Further, when the production instruction command is input, the sub control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub production information indicating which production state is controlled in the production state in the sub control RAM 41c. Then, the sub control CPU 41 a controls the effect state of the effect display device 14. As a result, the player plays a variable game according to the effect state of the effect display device 14.

  Hereinafter, control related to the rendering state performed by the sub control CPU 41a based on various control signals from the main control CPU 40a will be described. The sub-control CPU 41a selects the image display data for the background image corresponding to the identifiable effect state from the effect information for sub, and the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. Controls display content (display image).

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the bell role whose stop mode changes in accordance with the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles during the normal mode (during the setting of the sub-effect information indicating that the normal mode is being set). In this case, the “bell navigation effect” for assisting the correct push order (bell winning) is not executed.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the push order of the stop button for making a promotion prize when the winning of the promoted replay role that can change the stop mode by the push order of the stop button is instructed in the small mode during the normal mode. The “promotional Lip Navi production” to be notified is not executed.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an effect instruction command indicating a shift to the normal mode (navigation standby) during the normal mode, the display on the effect display device 14 is shifted to shift from the normal mode to the normal mode (navigation standby). Control the content.

Next, control related to the normal mode (navigation standby) will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a executes the bell navigation effect when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the normal mode (navigation standby) (during the setting of the sub effect information indicating that the normal mode (navigation standby) is being performed). Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled.

  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. For this reason, for example, when the winning of the middle correct bell role is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the stop button 23C to execute the bell navigation effect with the content of informing the operation first. Thereby, in the normal mode (navigation standby), a bell winning is generated by the player following the bell navigation effect when the player wins the bell role.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute the promoted Lip Navi effect when the winning of the promoted replay role is instructed during the normal mode (navigation standby).

  The promotion Lip navigator effect is performed on the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating the stop button are displayed side by side, and numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are assigned to the images. For example, when “1” is notified in the middle, “2” on the left, and “3” on the right, the stop button 23C → the stop button 23L → the stop button 23R, that is, [middle left and right] should be operated in this order. Let the player know. Therefore, for example, when the winning of the promoted replay role 2 based on the winning of the promoted replay group 2 is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the pushing order of [middle right / left] in order to notify the pushing order for promotion. The promotion lip navigator production is done with the contents to do. As a result, in the normal mode (navigation standby), a promotion prize is generated when the player follows the promotion Lip Navi effect when the promotion replay role is won.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an effect instruction command indicating a shift to the preparation mode during the normal mode (navigation standby), the display of the effect display device 14 is caused to shift from the normal mode (navigation standby) to the preparation mode. Control the content.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect display device 14 so as to execute the bell navigation effect when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the preparation mode (during the setting of the sub-effect information indicating that the preparation mode is being performed). Control the content. In other words, during the preparation mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the 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.

Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute the non-falling Lip Navi effect when the winning of the falling replay role is instructed during the preparation mode.
The non-falling lip navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating the stop button are displayed side by side, and numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are assigned to the images. For example, when “1” is notified in the middle, “2” on the left, and “3” on the right, the stop button 23C → the stop button 23L → the stop button 23R, that is, [middle left and right] should be operated in this order. Let the player know. Therefore, for example, when the winning of the fall replay combination 2 based on the winning of the fall replay group 2 is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a changes the [left middle right] push order in order to notify the normal push order. A non-falling lip navigation effect is performed with the content to be notified. Thereby, even if the winning of the falling replay combination is instructed, the non-falling Lip Navi effect is executed, so that the effect is performed so that the avoidance of the falling winning, that is, the normal winning is assisted.

Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute the rush rep navigation effect when the winning of the rush replay role is instructed during the preparation mode.
The rush lip navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating the stop button are displayed side by side, and numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are assigned to the images. For example, when “1” is notified in the middle, “2” on the left, and “3” on the right, the stop button 23C → the stop button 23L → the stop button 23R, that is, [middle left and right] should be operated in this order. Let the player know. For this reason, for example, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the rush replay role 2 based on the rush of the rush replay group 2, the sub-control CPU 41a changes the [middle left / right] push order. The rush rip navigator effect is performed with the contents to be notified. Thereby, during the preparation mode, when the winning of the rush replay role is instructed, an effect is performed so that the rush prize is assisted.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an effect instruction command indicating the transition to the ART mode during the preparation mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the preparation mode to the ART mode.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect display device 14 so as to execute the bell navigation effect when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the ART mode (when the effect information for sub indicating that the ART mode is being set) is instructed. Control the content. 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.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14 to execute the non-falling Lip Navi effect when the winning of the falling replay role is instructed during the ART mode. In other words, during the ART mode, the avoidance of the falling prize is assisted, and the performance is performed so that the normal winning is assisted. In the ART mode, when the player follows the non-falling lip navigation effect at the time of winning the falling replay role, a normal winning based on the replay role for duplication that overlaps with the falling replay role is generated.

  Further, when the remaining G number command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to display the remaining G number that can be specified from the command. In addition, when the first-half G number command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute various effects with dedicated effect contents when the first-half G number is set. Further, when the second-half G number command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute various effects with dedicated effect contents when the latter-half G number is set.

  In addition, when the CPU 41a for sub-control inputs an effect instruction command indicating the transition to the high-accuracy RT effect during the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the ART mode to the high-accuracy RT mode. .

Next, control related to the high-definition RT effect will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a does not execute the bell navigation effect even when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the high-definition RT effect (during the setting of sub-effect information indicating that the high-definition RT effect is being performed). .

Further, the sub-control CPU 41a does not execute the non-falling lip navigation effect even when the winning of the falling replay role is instructed during the high-definition RT effect.
In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an effect instruction command indicating the transition to the normal mode during the high-definition RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the high-accuracy RT effect to the normal mode. .

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, in the ART mode, when winning the cherry role or watermelon role that triggers the addition (addition) of the number of ARTs, the start of the variable game accompanying the start operation that becomes the winning opportunity is delayed, A stagnation effect may be performed during this stagnation. By executing this stagnation effect, the player is expected to be added. Further, the stagnation effect is performed by operating each reel. In addition, the progress of the game is stagnated due to the stagnant start of the variable game accompanying the execution of the stagnant effect.

  In this embodiment, the stagnation effect includes two types of effect contents (reel operation), that is, a reel action RA1 and a reel action RA2. In the present embodiment, when the stagnant effect is performed in the reel action RA1, each reel rotates at a speed slower than normal (normal speed) when the start of the variable game is stagnant. ing. In addition, when the stagnant effect is performed in the reel action RA2, when the start of the variable game is stagnant, each reel rotates at a slower speed than usual, and then a predetermined symbol combination (in this embodiment) , [Star / star / star]) is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1.

  That is, when the stagnant effect is executed in the reel action RA1, the variable game starts while the reels continue to rotate at a slower speed than usual. On the other hand, when the stagnation effect is executed in the reel action RA2, after the reels rotate at a slower speed than usual, [Star / Star / Star] is stopped and displayed, and then the variation game starts. Incidentally, when the start of the variable game is stagnant, the control relating to the progress of the game is not accepted (the operation for deriving the winning combination result is invalid). In the present embodiment, when the start of the variable game is stagnant, the operation of all stop buttons is invalid. Therefore, even if the stop button is operated when the start of the variable game is stagnant, the reel does not stop based on the operation.

Hereinafter, control related to the stagnation effect will be described.
In the present embodiment, when the main control CPU 40a determines the cherry role or the watermelon role as the winning role during the ART mode (when the production information indicating that the ART mode is being set), the main control CPU 40a changes the subject of the winning role. Determine the contents of the stagnant effect in the game. The main control CPU 40a refers to the stagnation effect determination table and determines whether or not the stagnation effect is executed and the effect contents of the stagnation effect when it is executed.

  In this embodiment, when the first half G number is set, when neither the first half G number nor the second half G number is set (when not set), or when the second half G number is set. Accordingly, the determination table used when determining the production contents of the stagnation effect is varied. Incidentally, since the total number of the first half G number (6 times) and the latter half G number (9 times) is less than the minimum number (50 times) set as the ART number, when the first half G number is set, No G number is set. Similarly, when the second half G number is set, the first half G number is not set.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12A, the main control CPU 40a determines the stagnation effect determination table Tb1 when the first half G number is set (first half G number> 0) when determining the cherry role or the watermelon role. Referring to, the presence / absence of execution of the stagnation effect and the production contents of the stagnation effect at the time of execution are determined. Further, when determining the cherry role or the watermelon role, the main control CPU 40a has the first half G number not set (first half G number = 0) and the second half G number not set (second half G number = 0). Then, referring to the stagnation effect determination table Tb2, the presence / absence of execution of the stagnation effect and the effect contents of the stagnation effect when executing are determined. Further, when determining the cherry role or the watermelon role, the main control CPU 40a refers to the stagnation effect determination table Tb1 and determines whether or not the stagnation effect is executed when the latter half G number is set (second half G number> 0). And the production contents of the stagnant production at the time of execution are determined.

  Here, based on FIGS. 12B and 12C, the stagnation effect determination table Tb1 and the stagnation effect determination table Tb2 will be described. In FIGS. 12B and 12C, the number of additions “0” indicates that it has been decided not to win the addition lottery and not to add. On the other hand, when the number of times of addition is “one or more times”, it indicates that it has been decided to win the extra lottery and add it.

  As shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C, in the stagnation effect determination tables Tb1 and Tb2, when the extra lottery is not won (the number of additions is “0”), “no reel action” is determined (the stagnation effect Random numbers are distributed so that execution is not determined. In addition, in the stagnation presentation determination tables Tb1 and Tb2, when determining “10 times” or “30 times” as the number of extra times, a random number is selected so as to determine either “no reel action” or “reel action RA1”. Is distributed. At this time, in the stagnation effect determination tables Tb1 and Tb2, it is easier to determine “reel action RA1” when “30 times” is determined as the number of additions than when “10 times” is determined as the number of additions. Random numbers are distributed.

  In addition, in the stagnation effect determination table Tb1, when “50 times” or “100 times” is determined as the number of extra times, random numbers are distributed so as to determine either “no reel action” or “reel action RA1”. It has been. On the other hand, in the stagnation effect determination table Tb2, when “50 times” or “100 times” is determined as the number of extra times, one of “no reel action”, “reel action RA1” and “reel action RA2” is determined. Random numbers are distributed as follows. In addition, when determining “50 times” or “100 times” as the number of times of addition, the time when referring to the stagnation effect determination table Tb2 is greater than “no reel action” than when referring to the stagnation effect determination table Tb1. Also, random numbers are distributed so that “reel action RA1” or “reel action RA2” can be easily determined. That is, when “50 times” or “100 times” is determined as the number of additions, the stagnation effect is executed when the stagnation effect determination table Tb2 is referred to rather than when the stagnation effect determination table Tb1 is referenced. Random numbers are distributed to the stagnation effect determination tables Tb1 and Tb2.

  Further, in the stagnation effect determination table Tb1, when “200 times” is determined as the additional number, random numbers are distributed so as to determine either “no reel action” or “reel action RA2”. In addition, in the stagnation effect determination table Tb2, when “200 times” is determined as the additional number of times, random numbers are distributed so as to determine any one of “no reel action”, “reel action RA1”, and “reel action RA2”. It has been.

  In this way, in the stagnation effect determination table Tb1, random numbers are distributed so that “reel action RA2” can be determined only when “200 times” is determined as the number of extra times. Therefore, when the stagnation effect is performed by the reel action RA2 when the stagnation effect determination table Tb1 is referred to, that is, when the first half G number or the second half G number is set, “200 times” is added to the number of ARTs. It is possible to make the player recognize that this is done. Further, in the stagnation effect determination table Tb2, random numbers are distributed so that “reel action RA2” can be determined only when “50 times or more” is determined as the number of additions. Therefore, when the stagnation effect is performed in the reel action RA2 when the stagnation effect determination table Tb2 is referred to, that is, when neither the first half G number nor the second half G number is set, “50 times” is set as the ART count. It is possible to make the player recognize that “the above number of times” is added.

  In addition, in the stagnation presentation determination tables Tb1 and Tb2, “no reel action” is always determined when no additional action is performed, while “reel action RA1” or “reel action RA2” if the additional number is “one or more”. May be determined. Therefore, if the stagnation effect is performed in the reel action RA1 or the reel action RA2, it is possible to make the player recognize that at least the addition is performed.

  The main control CPU 40a performs various controls based on the contents determined with reference to the stagnation effect determination tables Tb1 and Tb2. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a outputs, to the sub control CPU 41a, a stagnation effect signal instructing the contents determined with reference to the stagnation effect determination tables Tb1 and Tb2.

  Further, when determining “no reel action”, the main control CPU 40a does not stagnate the start of the variable game, and starts the variable game by rotating each reel at a normal speed.

  Further, when determining “reel action RA1”, the main control CPU 40a stagnates the start of the variable game and rotates each reel at a slower speed than usual during the stagnation. The main control CPU 40a sets a stagnation time when executing the stagnation effect with the reel action RA1, and rotates each reel at a slower speed than usual until the stagnation time elapses. Then, as the stagnation time elapses, the main control CPU 40a rotates each reel at a normal speed to start a variable game.

  Further, when determining the “reel action RA2”, the main control CPU 40a stagnates the start of the variable game, rotates each reel at a slower speed than usual during the stagnation, and then performs a predetermined symbol combination [ Stop displaying [Stars / Stars / Stars]. The main control CPU 40a sets a stagnation time when executing a stagnation effect in the reel action RA2, and sets each reel at a speed slower than normal until a predetermined time (a time shorter than the stagnation time) elapses from the setting. Then, the reels are stopped and [stars / stars / stars] are stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. Then, as the stagnation time elapses, the main control CPU 40a rotates each reel at a normal speed to start a variable game. In the present embodiment, the stagnation time set when the stagnation effect is executed in the reel action RA1 and the stagnation time set when the stagnation effect is executed in the reel action RA2 are the same time. However, the stagnation time set when executing the stagnation effect with the reel action RA1 and the stagnation time set when executing the stagnation effect with the reel action RA2 can be different times.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the stagnant effect is executed in the reel action RA1, the fluctuating game is performed without stopping the display of [star / star / star] after each reel rotates at a slower speed than usual. Start. On the other hand, when the stagnation effect is executed in the reel action RA2, the fluctuating game is started after [Reel / Star / Star] is stopped and displayed after each reel rotates at a slower speed than usual. For this reason, even if the stagnation effect is executed in the reel action RA1, it is difficult for the player to recognize which of the reel action RA1 and the reel action RA2 is executed until the variable game is started. It has become. Similarly, even if the stagnation effect is executed in the reel action RA2, the player determines which stagnation effect is executed between the reel action RA1 and the reel action RA2 until [star / star / star] is stopped and displayed. Has become difficult to recognize. That is, the reel action RA1 and the reel action are performed even if the player visually recognizes the operation mode of each reel until a predetermined time elapses from when the stagnant effect is executed until [star / star / star] is stopped and displayed. It is difficult to recognize which of RA2 is executing the stagnation effect.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs various controls when receiving the stagnation effect signal. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a performs various controls related to the above-described variable game when the input stagnation effect signal indicates “no reel action”.

  Further, when the input stagnation effect signal indicates “reel action RA1”, the sub control CPU 41a performs a predetermined effect until the stagnation time set when the stagnation effect is executed by the reel action RA1. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to be executed. The sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect display device 14 when the first half G number is set, when neither the first half G number nor the second half G number is set, or when the second half G number is set. The production contents of the production to be executed are changed.

  Further, when the input stagnation effect signal indicates “reel action RA2”, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a predetermined effect until the stagnation time set when the stagnation effect is executed by the reel action RA2. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to be executed. The sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect display device 14 when the first half G number is set, when neither the first half G number nor the second half G number is set, or when the second half G number is set. The production contents of the production to be executed are changed.

  In the present embodiment, when the stagnant effect is executed with the reel action RA1 when the first half G number is set, and when the stagnant effect is executed with the reel action RA2 when the first half G number is set, Until the predetermined time elapses, the effect display device 14 executes the effect with the same effect content. Further, when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set, the stagnation effect is executed with the reel action RA1, and when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set, the stagnation effect is executed with the reel action RA2. When performing, the production | presentation of the same production content is performed with the production | presentation display apparatus 14 until predetermined time passes. Further, a predetermined time elapses when the stagnation effect is executed with the reel action RA1 when the second half G number is set and when the stagnation effect is executed with the reel action RA2 when the second half G number is set. Until then, the effect display device 14 executes the same effect content. Here, the “predetermined time” means the time from when the stagnant effect is executed by the reel action RA2 until [star / star / star] is stopped and displayed. That is, the reel action is performed even if the player visually recognizes the effect contents of the effect on the effect display device 14 until a predetermined time elapses after the stagnation effect is executed until [star / star / star] is stopped and displayed. It is difficult to recognize which of the RA1 and the reel action RA2 is executing the stagnation effect.

  Further, in the pachislot 10 of the present embodiment, when the special replay group 1 to the special replay group 6 are won in the ART mode, a bonus granting effect that informs the player that the next set of the ART mode will continue is performed. May do.

  In the present embodiment, the bonus granting effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In addition, the bonus granting effect can be performed when a special stop eye ([bar / bar / bar]) is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. On the other hand, the bonus granting effect is performed when a non-special stop eye (for example, [Bar / Bar / Replay]) or a normal stop eye ([Replay / Replay / Replay]) is stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. I will not. In other words, even if the special replay group is won, if the stop button is pressed for special stop, the bonus granting effect is performed, while the stop button is pressed for non-special stop or normal If it is the pushing order for stopping, the bonus granting effect is not performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the special replay group is won during the ART mode, the progress of the game may be stagnant. In the present embodiment, when winning a special replay group during the ART mode, the stagnation pattern TP1 in which the progress of the game is stagnated in accordance with the start operation of the variable game that is the target of the win, and the variable game that is the target of the win In FIG. 2, there is a stagnation pattern TP2 in which the progress of the game stagnate with the first stop button operation (stop operation). Even if the special replay group is won during the ART mode, the progress of the game may not be delayed. In this embodiment, the stagnation of the game due to the winning of the special replay group is when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set even in the ART mode and the special replay group is won. Can only occur in At the time of this stagnation, the control relating to the progress of the game is not accepted (the operation for deriving the winning combination result is invalid).

  In the present embodiment, when the special replay group is won when the first half G number is set in the ART mode, the first half G number and the second half G number in the subsequent ART mode are not set. When winning the special replay group, it becomes easy to determine the stagnation of the progress of the game.

  In the present embodiment, when the special replay group is won during the ART mode, a notification effect may be executed to notify the player of the special stop push order set for the special replay group. The notification effects include three types of notification effects: “all navigation notification effects”, “3-option notification effects”, and “6-option notification effects”. In addition, this notification effect is performed with the effect content according to whether or not the progress of the game is stagnant with the winning of the special replay group. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the notification effect is executed only when the special replay group is won even when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set even in the ART mode.

Hereinafter, various notification effects will be described.
The all-navigation notification effect is a notification effect that is executed when the progress of the game is stagnated in the stagnation pattern TP1 in accordance with the winning of the special replay group. When the all-navi notification effect is executed, the effect display device 14 notifies the player of the stop button to be operated first in order to make the push order for the special stop based on the selected special replay group, and then (Second time) An effect of informing the player of the stop button to be operated is performed.

  In addition, the three-option notification effect is a notification effect that is executed when the progress of the game is stagnated with the stagnation pattern TP2 due to the winning of the special replay group. When the three-option notification effect is executed, in the effect display device 14, which of the three stop buttons is the first stop button to be operated in order to make a special stop push order based on the selected special replay group. The content is concealed from the player. If the stop button that the player first operates among the three stop buttons matches the special stop push order set for the special replay group that has been won, the effect display device 14 displays the stagnant progress of the game. Then, an effect is provided that informs that the stop button operated first matches the pressing order for special stop. On the other hand, when the stop button operated first by the player among the three stop buttons does not coincide with the pushing order for special stop determined in the special replay group selected, the effect display device 14 during the stagnation of the progress of the game Then, an effect is produced that informs the player that the stop button operated first does not match the pressing order for the special stop. Also, if the stop button that the player first operates among the three stop buttons coincides with the push order for the special stop set for the selected special replay group as the game progress stagnation ends, In the device 14, an effect is produced in which the player is notified of the stop button to be operated next (second time) in order to make the pressing order for the special stop. On the other hand, if the stop button that the player first operates among the three stop buttons does not match the push order for the special stop set in the special replay group that has been elected, the effect display is displayed after the stagnation of the progress of the game is over The device 14 does not produce the content that informs the player of the stop button to be operated next (second time) in order to make the pressing order for the special stop.

  The 6-option notification effect is a notification effect that is executed when the progress of the game is not stagnant due to the winning of the special replay group. When the 6-option notification effect is executed, the effect display device 14 determines which of the three stop buttons is the first stop button to be operated in order to make a special stop push order based on the selected special replay group. The content is concealed from the player. In addition, when executing the 6-option notification effect, regardless of whether the stop button operated first matches the special stop push order set for the selected special replay group, the effect display device 14 There is an effect of concealing to the player which of the remaining two stop buttons the second (second) stop button is to be operated in order to make a special stop push order.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when there is a stagnation of the progress of the game, an all-navigation notification effect or a 3-option notification effect can be executed, whereas when there is no stagnation of the game progress, a 6-option notification effect is provided. Executed.

Hereinafter, the control concerning execution of a privilege provision finalization effect and various alerting effects is demonstrated.
When the main control CPU 40a is in the ART mode and determines the special replay group when the first half G number is set, the main control CPU 40a displays high-accuracy information indicating that the special replay group is won during the setting of the first half G number. Until the second half G number is set, it is stored in the main control RAM 40c.

  If the special replay group is determined when the first-half G number and the second-half G number are not set in the ART mode and the main control CPU 40a is in the ART mode, the main control CPU 40a determines by lottery whether or not the progress of the game is delayed. At this time, the main control CPU 40a determines the stagnation mode (stagnation pattern TP1 or stagnation pattern TP2) as well as whether or not the game progress is stagnant.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when high-accuracy information is not stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a has a stagnation pattern TP1 (stagnation of game progress) with a probability of “1/8”, “ It is determined that the stagnation pattern TP2 (to stagnate the progress of the game) with a probability of “2/8”, and not to stagnate the progress of the game with a probability of “5/8”. On the other hand, when high-accuracy information is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a has a stagnation pattern TP1 (stagnation of the progress of the game), “4/8” with a probability of “2/8”. The stagnation pattern TP2 (stagnation of the progress of the game) is determined with a probability, and it is determined not to stagnate the progress of the game with a probability of “2/8”.

Thus, in this embodiment, when highly accurate information is memorize | stored, compared with the time when highly accurate information is not memorize | stored, it becomes easy to determine to stagnate progress of a game.
When the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the progress of the game is to be delayed and determines the mode at the time of stagnation, the main control CPU 40a outputs a stagnation mode signal that can specify the determined content to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  Further, when determining the stagnation pattern TP1, the main control CPU 40a stagnates the progress of the game for a predetermined time in accordance with the start operation. Then, after the progress of the game is stagnated, the main control CPU 40a starts the variable game. Incidentally, the main control CPU 40a does not rotate each reel during the stagnation of the progress of the game, unlike the case where the stagnation effect is executed, when the progress of the game is stagnated with the determination of the stagnation pattern TP1.

  Further, when determining the stagnation pattern TP2, when the first stop button is operated, the main control CPU 40a suspends the progress of the game for a predetermined time. Then, after the progress of the game is stagnated, the main control CPU 40a starts the variable game. Incidentally, when the main control CPU 40a suspends the progress of the game in accordance with the determination of the stagnation pattern TP2, while the progress of the game is stagnation, the reel corresponding to the stop button operated first is stopped and the remaining 2 One reel continues to rotate.

Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines not to stagnate the progress of the game, the main control CPU 40a continues the control relating to the variable game without stagnation of the progress of the game.
Further, when the main control CPU 40a wins the special replay group, if the special stop eye is stopped and displayed in the variable game to be won, the continuous lottery information stored in the main control RAM 40c is continuously drawn. Is rewritten into continuous lottery information indicating that the player has won.

  Further, when the sub control CPU 41a inputs a stagnation mode signal indicating the stagnation pattern TP1, the sub control CPU 41a causes all navigation notification effects to be executed. Specifically, when the special replay group is designated, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify the pressing order for special stop. At this time, in the effect display device 14, the stop button to be operated first is notified, and after the operation of the stop button to be notified, the effect of notifying the stop button to be operated next is performed. However, when the stop button to be operated first is notified, if the stop button to be notified is not operated, the effect display device 14 does not notify the stop button to be operated next.

  For example, when the special replay group 1 is won, the effect display device 14 produces an effect of notifying that the stop button 23L should be operated until the first stop button is operated. After that, when the stop button 23L is operated, the effect display device 14 produces an effect with the content for notifying that the stop button 23C should be operated. However, if the stop button 23L is not operated first, then the effect display device 14 does not produce an effect that informs that the stop button 23C should be operated, and the stop button that is operated first is for special stop. An image imitating “x” is displayed as an effect of the content for notifying the player that the order is not pressed.

  In addition, when the sub control CPU 41a receives a stagnation state signal indicating the stagnation pattern TP2, the sub control CPU 41a executes a three-option notification effect. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a first controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute an effect of concealing which one of the three stop buttons should be operated first. If the stop button operated first matches the pressing order for special stop, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the stop button operated first is for special stop within the time when the progress of the game is stagnant. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the effect of the content informing the player that the pressing order is the same. Thereafter, when the stop button operated first matches the pressing order for special stop, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify the stop button to be operated next. On the other hand, if the stop button operated first does not match the pressing order for the special stop, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the first stop button operated for the special stop is within the time in which the progress of the game is stagnant. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to execute the effect of notifying the player that the pressing order does not match. Thereafter, when the stop button operated first does not coincide with the pressing order for special stop, the sub control CPU 41a does not notify the stop button to be operated next.

  For example, when winning the special replay group 1, the effect display device 14 displays “?” As an effect of concealing which of the three stop buttons should be operated until the first stop button is operated. Is displayed. If the first operated stop button is the stop button 23L, the effect display device 14 indicates that the first operated stop button coincides with the push order for special stop while the progress of the game is stagnant. An image imitating “◯” is displayed as an effect of the content notified to the person. Then, with the end of the stagnation of the progress of the game, the effect display device 14 produces an effect of notifying that the stop button 23C should be operated next. On the other hand, when the stop button operated first is not the stop button 23L, the player displays that the stop button operated first does not match the pressing order for special stop while the progress of the game is stagnant. An image imitating “x” is displayed as an effect of the content to be notified. After that, even if the stagnation of the progress of the game ends, the effect display device 14 does not perform an effect that informs the player which stop button should be operated.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a stagnation state signal indicating that the progress of the game is not stagnation, the sub-control CPU 41a executes a six-option notification effect. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a first controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute an effect of concealing which one of the three stop buttons should be operated first. After that, when the first operated stop button is operated, the sub control CPU 41a displays the effect so as to execute an effect concealing which of the remaining two stop buttons should be operated for the second time. The display content of the device 14 is controlled.

  For example, when winning the special replay group 1, the effect display device 14 displays “?” As an effect of concealing which of the three stop buttons should be operated until the first stop button is operated. Is displayed. When the first stop button is operated, the effect display device 14 displays an image imitating “?” As an effect concealing which of the remaining two stop buttons should be operated. .

  Thus, in this embodiment, when all navigation notification effects are performed, special stop eyes can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1 by operating the stop buttons in order according to the display contents of the effect display device 14. . Further, in the present embodiment, when a three-choice notification effect is performed, the first stop button to be operated is selected from the three, and if the selection result matches the pressing order for special stop, then the effect is performed. If the stop button is operated in order according to the display contents of the display device 14, the special stop eye can be stopped and displayed on the winning line L1. When a 6-option notification effect is performed, the first stop button to be operated is selected from the three, and the next stop button to be operated is selected from the two. If the order of the stop button selected from the first three and the stop button selected from the next two matches the pressing order for the special stop, the special stop eye is placed on the winning line L1. Stop display is possible. In this way, when the 6-option notification effect is performed, whether or not the pressing order of the stop buttons matches the pressing order for the special stop determined for the selected special replay group until all the stop buttons are operated. The player cannot grasp about.

  If the special replay group is won when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set in the ART mode, the special stop eye is stopped on the winning line L1 in the variable game to be won. When displayed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to execute the privilege grant final effect. At this time, the effect display device 14 displays a character image of “ART mode continuation confirmation”.

  If the special replay group is won when the first half G number or the second half G number is set during the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the effect so as to notify the normal stop push order. The display content of the device 14 is controlled. For this reason, even if the special replay group is won when the first half G number is set during the ART mode, if the stop button is operated according to the effect of the effect display device 14, the special replay group is won. This can be kept secret from the player. Therefore, the notification effect accompanied by the stagnation of the progress of the game is performed with a high probability without causing the player to recognize that the special replay group is not won from the combination of the symbols displayed in a stopped state during the setting of the first half G number. While expecting this, it becomes possible to play a game when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set.

  In this way, the main control that determines by lottery whether or not the progress of the game accompanying the stagnation of the progress of the game is executed and whether or not the progress of the game is stagnated with the winning of the special replay group (special normal replay role) The CPU 40a functions as an execution lottery means in this embodiment. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the control for controlling the operation of each reel, and the operation for stopping the progress of the game by operating each reel in a predetermined operation mode by invalidating the operation of the stop button corresponds to the stagnation control, The main control CPU 40a that performs the control functions as a variation control means. Further, in the present embodiment, a combination that is a trigger for execution of the stagnation effect, that is, a combination of cherry and watermelon corresponds to a special winning combination.

  In addition, in this embodiment, a special replay group (special normal replay role) that is a stagnation trigger of the progress of the game other than the cherry role and watermelon role that is the trigger for execution of the stagnation effect corresponds to the specific winning combination, The order of pressing corresponds to a specific stop operation. Further, the special stop eye that is stopped and displayed when the stop button is operated with the stop operation that matches the pressing order for the special stop corresponds to the display result of the specific stop mode. On the other hand, a non-special stop eye or a normal stop eye that is stopped and displayed when the stop button is operated in a stop operation that does not match the pressing order for the special stop corresponds to a display result in the normal stop mode. In addition, when the progress of the game can be stagnant due to the winning of the special replay group, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs the control for notifying the push order for the special stop and performing the notification effect is the notification control means. Function as.

  In the present embodiment, the main control board 40 including the main control CPU 40a functioning as a winning combination lottery means, an effect state management means, an execution lottery means, a variation control means, a derivation operation accepting means, and a derivation control means is used for the main control. It functions as a part. In the present embodiment, the sub control board 41 including the sub control CPU 41a that functions as a notification control unit functions as a sub control unit.

Hereinafter, the control sequence performed by the main control CPU 40a when the progress of the game is accompanied in the present embodiment will be summarized together with the operation thereof.
First, based on Fig.14 (a), the control order at the time of progress of a game stagnating with execution of a stagnation effect is demonstrated.

  The main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination when the start operation is performed during the ART mode. When the winning combination to be determined at this time is a cherry combination or a watermelon combination, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to add (whether or not to add) and the number of times to add.

  When the presence / absence of addition and the number of additions are determined, the main control CPU 40a determines the contents of the stagnant effect based on the presence / absence of addition and the number of additions. In other words, the staging effect content is determined based on the current situation (presence / absence of setting of first half G number and second half G number), presence / absence of addition, and number of additions even in the ART mode. When the determined stagnation effect is accompanied by a stagnation of the progress of the game, the main control CPU 40a stagnates the progress of the game.

Next, based on FIG. 14B, the control sequence when the progress of the game is stagnant with the winning of the special replay group will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination when the start operation is performed when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set in the ART mode. At this time, when the special replay group is won, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to stop the progress of the game. At this time, when the main control CPU 40a determines to stagnate the progress of the game, it simultaneously determines the stagnation mode.

  Then, when it is determined to stagnate the progress of the game (stagnation pattern TP1 or stagnation pattern TP2), the main control CPU 40a stagnates the progress of the game. At this time, when determining the stagnation pattern TP1, the main control CPU 40a stagnates the progress of the game in accordance with the start operation. On the other hand, when determining the stagnation pattern TP2, the main control CPU 40a stagnates the progress of the game as the first stop button is operated.

  The sub-control CPU 41a causes the notification effect to be executed with the contents of the effect according to the presence / absence of the game and the state of the stagnation determined by the main control CPU 40a based on the winning of the special replay group. Incidentally, when the stagnation pattern TP1 is determined by the main control CPU 40a, the sub control CPU 41a causes all navigation notification effects to be executed. Further, when the stagnation pattern TP2 is determined by the main control CPU 40a, the sub control CPU 41a causes the three-option notification effect to be executed. Further, when it is determined by the main control CPU 40a that the progress of the game is not stagnated, the sub control CPU 41a causes the 6-option notification effect to be executed.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Whether or not to perform control (stagnation control) to stagnate the progress of the game is determined based on the production state, the type of winning combination (game information), and so on. It is possible to appropriately control the progress of the game in a scene including the performance state. For this reason, it is possible to perform control to stagnate the progress of the game along the flow of the production.

  (2) Based on the game information including the effect state and the type of winning combination, whether or not the progress of the game is stagnant (whether or not to perform stop control) is determined. Then, the notification effect is performed with the effect content based on whether or not the progress of the game is stagnant. Thereby, the notification effect can be appropriately performed with the effect content that matches the presence or absence of the progress of the game, and the notification effect can be appropriately performed in a scene where the progress of the game is stagnant.

  (3) The main control board 40 as the main control unit manages the production state, the operation control of each reel, and the control related to the stagnation of the progress of the game. Thereby, the specification provided with the main control board 40 and the sub control board 41 as a sub control part which controls presentation means, such as the presentation display apparatus 14, speaker SP, and the decoration lamp La, based on the instruction | indication of the said main control board 40. Even so, it is possible to appropriately control the progress of the game in a scene including a production state where it is desired to control the progress of the game (stagnation control).

  Furthermore, by burdening the control with the main control board 40 and the sub-control board 41, it is possible to contribute to the reduction of the processing burden on the main control board 40. For example, by causing the sub control board 41 to control the effect display device 14, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamp La, the main control board 40 does not need to control the effect display device 14, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamp La. The image data for controlling the display content of the effect display device 14, the sound data for controlling the sound output content of the speaker SP, and the light emission data for controlling the light emission content of the decoration lamp La are used for main control. There is no need to store it in the ROM 40b, and the storage area for storing other information in the main control ROM 40b can be enlarged.

  (4) Since the control for stopping the progress of the game (stagnation control) is determined based on the game information including the production state and the type of the winning combination, the progress of the game is stagnated during the ART mode (advantageous game state). Even in the case of performing control for making it possible to perform control, it is possible to appropriately perform control for stagnating the progress of the game.

  (5) Since the control (stagnation control) for delaying the progress of the game is determined based on the game information including the production state and the type of the winning combination, the winning combination (cherry role or watermelon role) is won. Even if it is a case where the control for making progress of a game stagnate is performed, the control for making the progress of a game stagnate appropriately can be performed.

  (6) Since the effect state is managed based on the game state, control (stagnation control) can be performed to appropriately stagnate the progress of the game even with respect to the winning status of the combination. In addition, the main control board 40 as the main control unit manages the game state and the production state, so that the production display device 14, the speaker SP, the decoration lamp La, and the like based on the instructions of the main control board 40 and the main control board 40. Even with specifications including a sub-control board 41 as a sub-control unit that controls the effect means, it is possible to perform control for appropriately stopping the progress of the game.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
-In the above embodiment, notifications that can be executed according to whether or not the progress of the game is stagnant and the stagnation mode when winning the special replay group when the first half G number and the second half G number are not set in the ART mode The types of effects (all navigation notification effects, types other than the 3 option notification effects and the 6 option notification effects) may be increased. For example, the contents of the effect of the notification effect that can be executed when the progress of the game is stagnated by the stagnation pattern TP1 may be a plurality of types. When configured in this way, the sub-control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the content of the effect of the notification effect to be executed from among a plurality of types by lottery.

  In the above embodiment, the type of notification effect to be executed is selected from the all-navigation notification effect, the three-option notification effect, and the six-option notification effect with a probability according to the presence or absence of the progress of the game and the stagnation mode. It may be configured. For example, all navigation notification effects may be easily selected when there is a stagnation of the progress of the game, while all navigation notification effects may be difficult to select when there is no stagnation of the progress of the game.

In the above embodiment, it may be configured such that the progress of the game can be stagnated only by the stagnant effect without stagnation of the progress of the game due to the winning of the special replay group in the ART mode.
In the above embodiment, the progress of the game may be stagnated only by winning the special replay group in the ART mode without stagnation of the progress of the game by executing the stagnation effect.

  -In the above embodiment, when a special replay group is won, the privilege to the player granted when the special stop eye is stopped and displayed based on the win may be changed. For example, a special stop eye may be configured to be added by being displayed in a stopped state. In addition, it may be configured to increase the winning probability of the extra lottery by displaying the special stop eye stopped, or may be configured to increase the probability that a large number of extra times is determined. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the stagnation effect and the stagnation of the progress of the game accompanying the special replay group winning may not be in the ART mode (unfavorable scene) but may be executed in another effect state. For example, the configuration may be such that it can be executed in the preparation mode, and the number of ARTs after shifting to the ART mode is added.

  In the above embodiment, the combination (specific winning combination) that triggers the notification effect may be changed. For example, instead of a special normal replay role (special replay group), a cherry role or a watermelon role may be used. In this case, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the progress of the game is stagnant and the stagnation mode in accordance with the winning of the cherry role, and the notification effect of the effect content corresponding to the determined content is executed.

-In the said embodiment, you may change the combination (special winning combination) used as the execution opportunity of stagnation production. For example, a special replay group may be used instead of a cherry or watermelon role.
-In the above-mentioned embodiment, it is not necessary to operate each reel during the stagnation of the progress of the game when executing the stagnation effect. Further, the operation mode of each reel when operating each reel may be changed. For example, each reel may be rotated in the direction opposite to the normal direction so that the player can easily recognize that the start of the variable game is not performed.

  In the above embodiment, each reel may be operated in a predetermined operation mode while the progress of the game accompanying the winning of the special replay group is stagnant. For example, when the progress of the game is stagnated by the stagnation pattern TP1, each reel may be operated in an operation mode corresponding to the pressing order for special stop. For example, when the special replay group 1 is selected, the left reel 13L may be rotated, the middle reel 13C may be rotated three seconds later, and then the right reel 13R may be rotated three seconds later.

  In the above embodiment, the number of types of various replay combinations may be changed. For example, the fall replay combination 1 may not be set as four types as the fall replay combination. When the fall replay combination 1 is not set, if a stop operation is performed from the stop button 23L, the fall replay combination can be surely made to fall.

  -In the said embodiment, you may change the specification of the transition of the production state until the rush of ART mode. For example, on the condition that a predetermined number of fluctuating games in the normal mode have passed, a state in which the transition to the preparation mode is allowed and the transition to the ART mode is allowed occurs, and the transition to the ART mode is triggered by the subsequent entry prize. Good.

  In the above embodiment, the advantageous gaming state may be advantageous for the player. For example, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be set almost the same as other gaming 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 addition, in the high probability RT1 game and the high probability RT2 game, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be made almost unchanged (same).

In the above 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 above embodiment, the effect state is notified to the player by the lighting effect of the decoration lamp La, a dedicated lamp for each effect state is provided, and these are turned on to notify the player of the effect state, or the speaker SP The player may be notified of the effect state by the sound effect. In this case, various effects such as navigation may be performed by the decorative lamp La or the speaker SP.

  -In the said embodiment, you may make it the timing which operates a stop button as an element which can change the stop eyes in a replay role or a bell role. In this case, the specification which aims at the specific part (design) in each reel (one or all) can be considered. And in various navigation effects, the timing (a specific part (symbol)) which operates a stop button is notified.

In the above embodiment, a bonus game such as a big bonus or a regular bonus may be provided.
In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 40a may be configured to determine various navigation effects and give instructions to execute various navigation effects.

  In the above embodiment, the sub control board 41 may not be provided. In this case, the main control board 40 controls effect means such as the effect display device 14, the speaker SP, and the decoration lamp La. Moreover, when comprised in this way, CPU40a for main control functions as a notification control means.

The above embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko slot machine (pachislot machine) that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium.
