The general game in this embodiment is controlled to a state according to the operation mode of the RT function, and is controlled to a state according to the type during the operation of the RT function.

  In the general game, the RT function may be controlled to a low probability RT game in which the RT function is inactive and the combined winning probability of the replay combination is set to the low probability lottery state (low probability). . In addition, in the general game with the RT function, the RT function is activated, and the winning probability of the combined replay role is changed (improved) from the low probability lottery state to the high probability lottery state (high probability). May be controlled. In the following description, a general game controlled by a low probability RT game is referred to as a “low probability RT game”, and a general game controlled by a high probability RT game is referred to as a “high probability RT game”.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachislo 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 40 that controls the entire gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the pachislot machine 10. The main control board 40 executes various processes for controlling the entire gaming machine, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. In addition, a sub-control board 41 is mounted on the rear side of the machine to execute effect control according to the gaming state. The sub-control board 41 receives various control signals output from the main control board 40 and executes predetermined control based on the control signals.

Hereinafter, the main control board 40 will be described.
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. It is like that. 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 main control CPU 40a receives a medal detection signal indicating that a medal has been detected each 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) according to the winning combination determination table.

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

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

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, the winning probabilities of the BB combination, the RB combination, the cherry combination, the watermelon combination, the bell combination, and the replay combination are defined. In the general game, the winning combination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the replay role is higher in the high probability RT game (1 / 1.7) than in the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). ing. In the general game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the small combinations other than the replay combination have the same probability.

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

  In addition, the winning probability of the replay role shown in FIG. 4 defines the winning probability of the normal replay role (unquestioned) and the overlapping winning combination of the rush replay role and the normal replay role in the low probability RT game (winning role determination table T1). doing. Note that the relationship between the rush replay role and the normal replay role is as follows: the rush replay role 1 and the normal replay role 1, the rush replay role 2 and the normal replay role 2, the rush replay role 3 and the normal replay role 3, and the rush replay role 4 And normal replay combination 4 will be won in duplicate. Further, the winning probability of the replay role defines the winning probability of the normal replay role (unquestioned) in the high-definition RT game (winning role determination table T2). In the following description, “winning a rush replay role” means “winning a normal replay role” to be combined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the winning combination determination table T3 defines the winning probabilities for the cherry, watermelon, and bell roles. In the winning combination determination table T3, the winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that the BB combination, the RB combination, and the replay combination are not targeted for the lottery. In the winning combination determination table T3, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning combination probability of the bell combination is significantly higher than that of the general game.

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

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

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

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a acquires random numbers used in the lottery from the sub-control RAM 41c when performing various lotteries such as an ART entry lottery described later, and performs random lottery based on the acquired random numbers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BN stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when winning the BN role (carrying over the winning combination). Further, when winning the BN role (winning carryover), the main control CPU 40a preferentially displays the stop eye (combination of symbols) corresponding to the small role.

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

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

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

  Then, when neither of the BN winning combination nor the small winning combination is determined, that is, when the extraordinary winning combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stopping stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Next, stop control at the time of winning of the bell role (left correct bell role, middle correct bell role, right correct bell role) will be described.
In the pachi-slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, the control performed based on the stop button operated first among the three stop buttons when the “left correct bell combination”, “middle correct bell combination”, and “right correct bell combination” are selected. Is different. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the bell combinations is selected.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye when the correct answer is obtained based on the winning of the bell combination. On the other hand, the CPU 40a for main control stops and displays a bell spill stop stop that becomes a dedicated stop eye (for example, [Bell / Replay Bell], etc.) when the push order is incorrect based on the winning of 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 stop button 23C, 23R for instructing to stop other than the left reel 13L is operated first. Is displayed.

  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, when winning the middle correct bell role, the stop button 23L, 23R for instructing to stop other than the middle reel 13C is operated first, and the bell spill stop stop that becomes a bell spill as an incorrect push order stops. Is displayed.

  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. In the following description, “bell winning prize” or “bell winning” means a stop display of a bell stop eye based on the bell role.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell-spilling stop eye that becomes a bell-spilling regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the push order is incorrect when the bell role is won. In the following description, the phrase “missing bell role” or “bell spilling” means a stop display of a bell spilling stop eye based on the bell role.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the replay combination (rush replay combination, normal replay combination) will be described.
First, a description will be given of the winning of the “rush replay role”.

  In the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is different when the “rush replay combination” is won, that is, when the “normal replay combination” is won.

  In the present embodiment, the pressing order for stopping and displaying the rush stop eye is determined for each rush replay combination. Further, in order to correspond to this, a pressing order for stopping and displaying the replay stop eye is determined for each normal replay combination having a relationship of overlapping winning with each rush replay combination. In the following description, “correct answer push order” or “push order correct answer” means a push order for stopping and displaying the rush stop eyes. On the other hand, “incorrect answer push order” or “push order incorrect answer” means a push order for stopping and displaying the replay stop eye. For this reason, the correct answer in the push order of the rush replay role is an incorrect push order for the normal replay role that is in a duplicated winning relationship with the rush replay role. On the other hand, the incorrect push order answer of the rush replay role is the correct push order answer for the normal replay role that is in a winning relationship with the rush replay role. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the rush replay combination is selected.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the rush stop eye when the correct answer is reached based on the winning of the rush replay combination. In the following description, the term “entry replay winning award” or “rushing award” means a stop display of a rush stop based on the rush replay winning.

  On the other hand, the CPU 40a for main control stops and displays the replay stop eye when the pressing order is incorrect based on the winning of the rush replay combination. In the following description, the term “ordinary replay winning a prize” or “normal winning” means a stop display of a replay stop based on the normal replay winning.

  That is, at the time of winning of the rush replay combination 1, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed with the fact that the operation is performed in the pressing order of [left middle right] as the correct pressing order. On the other hand, when winning the rush replay role 1, operating in a pressing order other than [left middle right] means that the normal winning a prize based on the normal replay role 1 that has a double winning relationship with the rushing replay role 1 as an incorrect push order. The replay stop eye will be stopped and displayed.

  In the following description, [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. This notation means a stop operation in the order of stop button 23L (left) → stop button 23C (middle) → stop button 23R (right).

  In addition, when the rush replay combination 2 is won, a rush stop eye that is a rush prize is stopped and displayed with the fact that the operation is performed in the pushing order of [Middle]. On the other hand, when winning the rush replay role 2, the operation in the pressing order other than [left and right middle] means that the normal winning is based on the normal replay role 2 that is in a duplicate winning relationship with the rush replay role 2 as an incorrect push order. The replay stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, when the rush replay combination 3 is won, a correct answer in the order of [1st middle] is determined. For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay role 3, the rush stop eye that becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed as the push order correct answer is operated in the pressing order of [middle left and right] or [middle right and left]. On the other hand, when the rush replay role 3 is won, the operation in the pressing order other than [middle left and right] and [middle right and left] means that the normal replay role 3 that has a relationship of double winning with the rush replay role 3 as an incorrect push order. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, when the rush replay role 4 is won, the correct right order of [first right] is determined. For this reason, at the time of winning the rush replay role 4, the rush stop eye which becomes the rush prize is stopped and displayed as a push order correct answer that the operation is performed in the pressing order of [Right middle left] or [Right middle left]. On the other hand, when the rush replay role 4 is won, the operation in the pressing order other than [Right middle left] and [Right middle left] means that the normal replay role that is in a double winning relationship with the rush replay role 4 is an incorrect answer. The replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on 4 is stopped and displayed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays [Replay / Replay / Replay], that is, the replay stop eye, when winning the normal replay role (unquestioned) among the “normal replay roles”.

  That is, in this embodiment, when the normal replay combination (normal lip (unquestioned)) is won, all the pressing orders are determined as the correct pressing order. For this reason, when the normal replay role (unquestioned) is won, regardless of the order of pressing the three stop buttons (regardless of the pressing order), the replay stop eye that is a normal winning based on the normal replay role (unquestioned) is displayed in a stopped manner. The

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

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

  Specifically, when determining the winning of the BN combination, the main control CPU 40a performs BN game control as a game state control for shifting from the next variable game to the BN game. In this BN game control, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of BN payouts of award medals awarded (paid out) to the player from the first variable game after the start of the BN game. In addition, the main control CPU 40a is associated with the end of the variable game in which the number of payouts in the BN game exceeds the maximum number of payouts according to the type of the BN game (297 for the BB game and 63 for the RB game). To end the BN game.

  When determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. When the main control CPU 40a determines to win the cherry role, if the cherry stop eye is stopped and displayed so as to straddle the two winning lines L2 and L3 in the upper stage of the left reel 13L. Two winnings occur simultaneously, and control is performed to pay out four award medals, which is twice as many as two. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the cherry role is won, if the cherry stop eye is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one of the winning lines L1 in the middle stage of the left reel 13L, two prizes are awarded. Control to pay out 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 for paying out nine award medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when the bell spill stop eye which is a bell spill is stopped when the winning of the bell role is determined. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

  When determining the winning of the replay combination (normal replay combination, rush replay combination), the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game. As such control, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined. Furthermore, when determining the winning of the rush replay combination, there is a case where control related to the transition of the gaming state described later is performed.

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

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

  In addition, during the control of the low probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the high probability RT game (high probability RT) triggered by the occurrence of a rush prize as a result of winning the rush replay role and pushing correct answer. ) Note that the main control CPU 40a continues (maintains) the low-probability RT game in response to the occurrence of the normal winning as a result of the incorrect answer in the pressing order by winning the rush replay role. That is, in the low probability RT game, when the rush stop is displayed as a rush prize by winning the rush replay role, the transition condition to the high probability RT game is satisfied. In addition, the low-probability RT game is continued without satisfying the transition condition to the high-definition RT game when the replay stop eye, which is a normal winning in the winning replay combination, is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, the main control CPU 40a continues (maintains) the high-definition RT game when the normal replay combination (unquestioned) is won and the normal winning is generated during the control of the high-definition RT game. On the other hand, during the control of the high-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the role of the bell and shifts (falls) to the low-probability RT game when a bell spill occurs. It should be noted that the main control CPU 40a continues (maintains) the high-definition RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of the bell winning by winning the bell role during the control of the high-definition RT game. In other words, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell spill stop eye that wins the bell role and is spilled is stopped and nine prize medals are not acquired, the transition condition to the low-probability RT game (high-probability RT game) The “RT fall condition”) is completed. In addition, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and wins the bell is stopped and nine prize medals are obtained, the transition condition to the low-probability RT game is not satisfied and is continued. The

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

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

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

  Specifically, the effect state includes an ART mode (normal / jackpot) that is performed when the game state is a high-definition RT game. In the present embodiment, as such ART modes, a normal ART mode (hereinafter referred to as “normal ART”) and a jackpot ART mode (hereinafter referred to as “jackpot ART”) having different specifications are prepared. In the case of normal ART, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for normal ART. In the case of jackpot ART, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for jackpot ART. This ART mode (normal / jackpot) is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a high-probability lottery state and an effect of assisting (assisting) the Bell winning a prize.

  The effect state includes a preparation mode (normal / jackpot) that is performed when the game state is a low-probability RT game. In the present embodiment, as such a preparation mode, a normal preparation mode connected to the normal ART and a jackpot preparation mode connected to the jackpot ART are prepared. In the effect display device 14 in the normal preparation mode, the display screen for normal preparation is displayed as an image. In the jackpot preparation mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of a display screen for jackpot preparation. This preparatory mode (normal / jackpot) is a state in which a replay role winning probability is in a low-probability lottery state, while an effect of assisting an entry prize and a bell prize is performed.

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

  The effect state includes a BN mode (BB / RB) performed when the game state is BN game. In the present embodiment, as such a BN mode, a BB mode corresponding to the BB game and an RB mode corresponding to the RB game are prepared. In the effect display device 14 in the BB mode, the display screen for BB is displayed as an image. In the RB mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the RB display screen. This BN mode (BB / RB) is a state in which an effect that assists the winning of a bell is performed while being able to win a bell combination with high probability.

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

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

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

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the normal mode (during normal mode control). During the normal mode, as the replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned) and a rush replay combination, that is, winning of the normal replay combination and winning are instructed.

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

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

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a produces an effect so as not to perform an effect that assists the rush entry prize when a winning entry of a rush replay role in which the stop mode can be changed by the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to enter a prize. In the normal mode, an entry prize occurs when the player happens to push the correct answer when the entry replay role is won.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a generates a right to shift to the ART mode by performing a process related to the entry into the ART mode (right generation). The right to shift to the ART mode can be generated regardless of the production state as well as in the normal mode, and determines the type of the ART mode (either normal ART or jackpot ART) to be entered at every occurrence. ing. When the sub control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a displays an ART flag indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode (right generation) stored in a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. Set. Note that the trigger for generating the right to shift to the ART mode will be described in detail later.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the normal ART, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the ART flag so that the content indicates the generation of the right to shift to the normal ART. Further, when the sub control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the jackpot ART, the sub control CPU 41a sets the ART flag so that the content indicates the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART. Note that when the ART flag indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode is set, the generation of the corresponding ART mode is guaranteed.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a continuously holds the setting contents of the ART flag even when the mode is shifted to another mode such as the BN mode. In the following description, “with an ART flag” means generation of a right to shift to the ART mode. Further, “with normal flag” means that the right to shift to normal ART (right to normal shift) is generated, and “with jackpot flag” means right to shift to jackpot ART. Means the occurrence of Further, “no ART flag” means that the right to shift to the ART mode has not occurred. During the ART mode, the ART flag is set from the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode to the end of the ART mode, and the ART flag is not set at the end of the ART mode. When there is no ART flag, an ART flag having a content indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not been generated is set.

  In the normal mode, when the ART flag is present, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the occurrence of the right to shift to the corresponding ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times has elapsed (normally The production state is controlled to shift to (/ jackpot). Then, when the normal flag is present, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal preparation mode for notifying the occurrence of the right to shift to the normal ART. Further, when the jackpot flag is present, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the jackpot preparation mode for notifying the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART. In this case, the low probability RT game is continued in the game state. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when there is no ART flag even after each entry process.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a gives a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player if the stop button 23L is not operated first in each variable game. For example, as a penalty, the preparation mode is not started even after entering the entry prize, the ART mode control is not started even after entering the entry accidentally, each entry process is not performed, The rush process is performed, but no ART flag is maintained. As a result, during the normal mode, when there is no ART flag, a transition to the preparation mode, the ART mode, or the like is not assumed.

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

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the preparation mode (during the preparation mode (normal / jackpot) control). During the preparation mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned) and a rush replay combination, that is, winning of the normal replay combination and winning are instructed.

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

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

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

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

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a provides a notification effect for notifying the player of the recommended stop operation pressing order when the winning of the replay combination whose stop mode can be changed by the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display contents of the effect display device 14 are controlled so as to cause the “repnavi effect”. The sub-control CPU 41a causes the Lip Navi effect according to the situation in which the winning is instructed and the type of the Replay role to be instructed as such a Lip Navi effect.

  The Lip Navi 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.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a, when instructed to win the rush replay role, performs a rep navigator effect with the content informing the correct push order (rush entry). In this way, winning of the rush replay role is instructed because the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, and an effect is given so that the rush prize is assisted by notification of the correct push order of the rush replay role. .

  In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the content displayed on the effect display device 14 so that the Lip navigator effect is performed with the content of notifying the correct push order with the start of the variable game when the winning of the rush replay role is instructed. Control. For example, when the winning of the rush replay combination 3 is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the Lip navigator effect with the content informing the correct [middle right / left] push order.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the ART mode according to the ART flag when the entry prize is instructed. In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal ART if there is a normal flag when a rush prize is instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the jackpot ART if there is a jackpot flag when an entry prize is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT game. Further, if both the normal flag and the jackpot flag are present, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so that the jackpot flag is prioritized and the process proceeds to the jackpot ART.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the rendering state to the corresponding ART mode while the gaming state is a highly probable RT game and the ART flag is present. Further, if both the normal flag and the jackpot flag are present, the sub control CPU 41a gives priority to the jackpot flag and controls the effect state to the jackpot ART. The start of the ART mode control is synchronized with the start of the high-reliability RT game in the gaming state because the entry prize is triggered.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the ART mode (during the ART mode (normal / jackpot) control). During the ART mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned) winning and winning are instructed.

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

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

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the ART mode when the normal winning based on the winning of the normal replay combination (unquestioned) is instructed. In accordance with this, a highly reliable RT game is continued in the gaming state. In addition, when the bell spill is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so that the ART mode is continued because the ART flag is present. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game. During the ART mode of such a low-probability RT game, an effect is performed so that a bell prize or a rush prize is assisted.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a stores the remaining G number indicating the number of times of the variable game that can be performed in the ART mode in a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. This remaining G number is also the number of times that the game can be assisted by the player by means of a bell navigation effect in the ART mode. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continues to hold the remaining G number while the ART flag is present even when transitioning to another mode. In the following description, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the remaining G number is not set while the remaining G number is not set. Further, when the remaining G number is other than “0 (zero)” (≧ 1), the remaining G number is set while the remaining G number is being set. The remaining G number is set for each of the normal ART and the jackpot ART.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the number of times according to the condition based on the ART mode to be shifted as the remaining G number when shifting to the ART mode from when the remaining G number is not set. Further, each time the sub control CPU 41a is instructed to start the variable game in the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a subtracts "1" from the remaining G number for the ART mode under control stored in the sub control RAM 41c. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of variable games that can be performed in the ART mode, that is, the number of variable games that have elapsed since the start of the ART mode, based on the variable games.

  The sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c using the effect display device 14. In addition, when both the remaining G numbers for the normal ART and the jackpot ART are set, these are both notified to the player. Thereby, the player can be made aware of the number of times that the variable game is performed in the ART mode.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the setting of the remaining G number to the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the corresponding ART mode based on the remaining G number being set. The transition from the setting of the remaining G number to the ART mode to the ART mode is a transition (return) from the BN mode that is won during the ART mode to the ART mode, or from the jackpot ART that is normally started during the ART. Usually caused by transition (return) to ART.

  Then, if the remaining G number stored in the sub control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub control CPU 41a determines that the continuation condition of the ART mode being controlled is satisfied (continuation), The production state is controlled so as to continue the ART mode being controlled even in the variable game. On the other hand, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a, if the ART mode continuation condition under control is not satisfied (non-continuation), The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that a high-assist RT effect for notifying the end of the ART mode from the next variable game is performed. In the present embodiment, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)” and the ART mode continuation condition is not satisfied, the ART mode is terminated. Each specification of the ART mode will be described in detail later.

  Then, when the ART mode is continued due to the establishment of the continuation condition, the sub control CPU 41a sets the number of times according to the condition based on the ART mode to be transferred as the remaining G number stored in the sub control RAM 41c. The production state is controlled so as to continue.

  On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to cause a highly accurate RT effect when the ART mode is terminated due to the continuation condition not being satisfied. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the high-accuracy RT effect and then performs the high-accuracy RT effect until the occurrence of bell spillage. The sub-control CPU 41a sets an ART flag having no ART flag for the ART mode that has been controlled so far in the sub-control RAM 41c in accordance with the high-accuracy RT effect.

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

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

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

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

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

  In addition, when the end of the BN game is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a changes the rendering state from the next variation game to the normal mode or the preparation mode (normal / jackpot) based on the setting state of the ART flag. Control. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode if there is no ART flag when the BN mode ends (BN end). On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal preparation mode if there is a normal flag when the BN mode ends (BN end). Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the jackpot preparation mode if there is a jackpot flag when the BN mode ends (BN end). In addition, when the BN mode ends (BN end), both the normal flag and the jackpot flag, the sub control CPU 41a gives priority to the jackpot flag and shifts to the jackpot preparation mode. Control the production state.

  Note that during the preparation mode (normal / jackpot) in which the transition is made in this way, the sub-control CPU 41a has the ART flag, and therefore has acquired the right to transition to the ART mode, and the high-accuracy RT The player will be led into the game, that is, the ART mode.

  In the present embodiment, during the ART mode (normal / jackpot), not only the gaming state is a high-definition RT game, but also an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. . As a result, in the ART mode, the number of scenes where the player holds (injects) medals is reduced, and the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted, and the acquisition of award medals based on the bell winning is assisted. Therefore, during the ART mode, the player is in an advantageous state, that is, an advantageous gaming state. In the present embodiment, the normal ART corresponds to the normal advantageous gaming state, while the jackpot ART corresponds to the advantageous gaming state.

  Also, during the normal mode, you can get a chance to lead to high-definition RT games, but there are no effects (bell navigation effects or lip navigation effects) for the player to play games advantageously It is. Thereby, in the normal mode, the entry prize and the bell prize are not assisted. For this reason, during the normal mode, the player cannot be led to a state advantageous to the player, and is in the most disadvantageous state for the player.

  Further, during the preparation mode (normal / jackpot), while the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, an effect (bell navigation effect or lip navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. As a result, in the preparation mode, the entry prize, that is, the transition to the high-definition RT game is assisted, and the acquisition of the prize medal based on the bell prize is assisted. That is, during the preparation mode, the player is at least more advantageous than the normal mode.

  In addition, during the high-definition RT production, there is no production (bell navigation production or Lip Navi production) for the player to advantageously play the game, but the gaming state is a high-definition RT game, so at least compared to the normal mode It becomes an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, during the BN mode (BB / RB), the gaming state is a BN game, and an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. Thereby, in the BN mode, a prize medal winning based on a bell winning is assisted. That is, during the BN mode, the player is in an advantageous state for allowing the player to continuously obtain award medals based on the winning of the bell role.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs control related to normal ART functions as normal game control means. The sub-control CPU 41a that performs control related to the jackpot ART functions as game control means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs control related to the transition of the high-accuracy RT game can also function as the game control means. The sub-control CPU 41a that determines whether or not the normal flag is present functions as a normal right generation unit. The sub-control CPU 41a that determines whether or not to have a jackpot flag functions as a right generation unit.

Hereinafter, the specifications of the ART mode will be described in detail.
First, the specifications of normal ART (shown as “normal” in FIG. 7) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, the normal ART defines the specifications of “one set that continues 50 times” as the content, “all roles including losing” as the condition for generating the right, and “stock the number of continuous sets after the right is generated” as the characteristics. Yes.

  That is, the normal ART may be performed with 50 variable games as one set as defined in the specification of “50 consecutive times 1 set”, and may be performed repeatedly (looped) multiple times. As a result, in normal ART, the ART mode can be continued over a variable game that is 50 times the number of sets.

  Further, the right to the normal ART is generated based on the lottery result of the ART entry lottery performed when the sub-control CPU 41a is in the normal mode. Since the ART entry lottery is performed only in the normal mode, the right generation to the normal ART is limited to the normal mode.

  This ART rush lottery is a predetermined winning probability based on an instructed winning combination when a winning of all winning combinations including losing (“all winning including all roles”) is instructed in a variable game controlled in the normal mode. (For example, the total is 1/260). Random numbers are assigned to either “winning” or “non-winning”. The sub-control CPU 41a, when deriving the “winning” result in the ART entry lottery, generates the right to shift to the normal ART (right generation), while deriving the “non-winning” result in the ART entry lottery. If this is the case, the right to transition to the normal ART is not generated. In the ART rush lottery of the present embodiment, random numbers are set so that the probability of winning the ART at first is about 1/260, which is calculated in consideration of the winning probability of each winning combination including a loss. Sorting.

  The number of continuous sets of normal ART is stocked when the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to normal ART. The number of continuous sets of normal ART is determined in response to the occurrence of the right to shift to normal ART. When determining the number of continuous sets for normal ART, the sub-control CPU 41a stores (stocks) the remaining S number indicating the number of continuous sets for normal ART in a predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c. In the present embodiment, one or more (for example, integers from “1” to “10”) can be determined as the number of continuous sets of normal ART, and the smaller the number of continued sets, the easier it is to determine, and the larger the number of continued sets. It is hard to be configured. The sub-control CPU 41a continues to hold the remaining S number while the normal flag is present even when the mode is shifted to another mode. In the following description, it is said that the remaining S number is not set while the remaining S number is not set when the remaining S number is “0 (zero)”. Further, when the remaining S number is other than “0 (zero)” (≧ 1), the remaining S number is set while the remaining S number is being set.

  Then, during normal ART (during normal ART control), the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to start a variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”. If the remaining S number is being set, the continuation condition of the normal ART is satisfied (continuation), and the effect state is controlled so that the normal ART is continued even in the next variable game. When the normal ART is continued when the continuation condition is satisfied, the sub control CPU 41a sets (adds) again [50 times] as the remaining G number stored in the sub control RAM 41c, and sets the normal ART, that is, the ART mode. Let it continue. In accordance with this, the sub control CPU 41a subtracts 1 from the remaining S number stored in the sub control RAM 41c.

  On the other hand, during normal ART, the sub-control CPU 41a is in the process of setting the remaining S number when it is instructed to start a variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is "0 (zero)". If not, the continuation condition of the normal ART is not established (non-continuation), the production state is controlled so that the highly accurate RT production is performed from the next variable game, and the normal ART, that is, the ART mode is ended.

  As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the remaining S number that becomes the game profit of the normal ART after the right to shift to the normal ART is generated, and controls to the normal ART based on the remaining S number.

Next, the specifications of the jackpot ART (shown as “jackpot” in FIG. 7) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, the jackpot ART defines the specifications of “300 minimum guaranteed minimum” as content, “Reaching number of released games” as a condition for generating the right, and “Stocking the number of stock games until the right is generated” as a feature. ing.

That is, the jackpot ART allows the ART mode to be continued for at least 300 variable games, as defined in the specification of “300 minimum continuous guarantee”.
The right to the jackpot ART is generated based on the determination result of whether or not the number of released games counted by the sub control CPU 41a has reached “0 (zero)” (“number of released games reached”). Occur. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the number of released games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c every time the start of the variable game is instructed regardless of the effect state. The number of released games is newly set when the number of released games is reached. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a can change the number of variable games that can be transferred to the jackpot ART based on the variable game, that is, the number of variable games until the next released game number is reached after the previous released game number is reached. Count.

  The number of jackpot ART stock games, that is, the remaining G number set in accordance with the transition, is stocked until the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to transition to the jackpot ART. The number of jackpot ART stock games is determined based on a variable game played until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. The sub-control CPU 41a accumulates and stores (stocks) in a predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c every time the number of stock games of the jackpot ART is determined. In this embodiment, it is possible to determine “5” or more (for example, “10”, “20”, etc.) larger than “1” as the number of stock games of the jackpot ART, and the smaller (smaller) stock games are determined. It is easy to configure and the number of large (many) stock games is hard to be determined. The sub-control CPU 41a continues to hold the number of stock games while the jackpot flag is present even when the mode is shifted to another mode.

  Then, during the jackpot ART (during the control of the jackpot ART), the sub control CPU 41a is instructed to start a variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”. In such a case, the state of play is controlled so that a high-definition RT effect is performed from the next variable game as the continuation condition of the jackpot ART is not established (non-continuation). Subsequently, the sub control CPU 41a ends the jackpot ART, that is, the ART mode. Although the jackpot ART is not continued, if the normal flag is present and the corresponding remaining G number is set, the ART mode is continued as the normal ART.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of stock games (the number of remaining G) that will be the gaming profit of the jackpot ART until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated, and based on the number of such stock games Control to a jackpot ART.

  In the normal ART of the present embodiment, the number of times that the variable game is continued is less than that of the jackpot ART unless it is repeated at least 6 sets or more, and the number of sets to be continued tends to be less than 6 sets rather than 6 sets or more. . On the other hand, the jackpot ART of the present embodiment is configured to be able to continue the ART mode even if it is at least 300 times and over a larger number of variable games. For this reason, the jackpot ART is a specification that is more advantageous ("large") than the profit ("medium") set in the normal ART as a profit for the player.

Next, a stock specification for stocking the number of stock games in the jackpot ART will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the number of stock games of the jackpot ART is “all production state: off time” as a lottery, and “5 times / 10 times / 20 times / 30 times / 50 times / The specification of “100 times / 200 times / 300 times” is defined.

  In other words, the number of stock games of the jackpot ART is based on the lottery result of the lottery of the number of stock games to be performed at the time of losing all the production states regardless of the production state (game state) as defined in the specification of “all production states: out of play” Occur. The number of stock games of Jackpot ART is “5” / 10 ”/ 20” / 30 ”/ 50” / 100 ”/“ 200 ”/“ 300 ”as specified in the specification. Stock at once. It should be noted that the stock game number lottery is limited to the case of deriving a “non-winning” result that does not derive the “winning” result in the above-described ART rush lottery even when the game is off.

  This stock game number lottery is “0 (zero)” so that a predetermined winning probability is obtained when an out-of-game (in which no BN role or small role is won) is instructed in a variation game in all effects. , “5”, “10”, “20”, “30”, “50”, “100”, “200”, and “300”. The sub-control CPU 41a, when deriving a result other than “0 (zero)” in the stock game number lottery, causes the stock game number of “5” or more to be stocked, while in the stock game number lottery, “0 (zero)”. When deriving the result of "", the stock game number is not stocked.

  As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the stock game number (remaining G number), which is the gaming profit of the jackpot ART, is off when the right to transfer to the jackpot ART is generated, and is “ A lottery is drawn for each variation game that derives the result of “not winning” and accumulated and stored. It should be noted that the stock game number stored cumulatively maintains the content of the stock game number at that time depending on the start of BN mode, normal ART, or the like. Also, the cumulative number of stock games stored is erased by a specific operation such as a RAM clear operation (“0 (zero)) that erases (clears) the stored contents of the sub-control RAM 41c based on power-on of the pachislot 10. ”).

  Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the jackpot ART so that the gaming profit based on the number of stock games that have been stocked (accumulated and stored) is released as the jackpot ART. The stock game number is accumulated and stored in the sub-control RAM 41c every time a result other than “0 (zero)” is derived in the stock game number lottery. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that draws and determines the number of stock games by the stock game number lottery performed in association with the game functions as the game profit determining means. Further, the sub control RAM 41c that stocks the number of stock games determined by the sub control CPU 41a until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated functions as profit storage means.

Next, the release specification for generating the right to shift to the jackpot ART will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 8B, the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated as “65536 game number consumption” as the number of released games, and “all production state: subtracted every game digest” as the game number consumption. The specifications are defined.

  In other words, the right generation of the jackpot ART occurs based on the digestion of the “65536 times” variable game, which is a prescribed number as defined in the specification of “65536 times the game number digestion”. Further, the number of games released from the jackpot ART is decremented by “1” for each variable game in all the production states regardless of the production state as defined in the specification of “all production states: subtraction every game digest”. The number of released games is decremented by “1” for each variable game regardless of the winning combination in the variable game. For this reason, the number of released games corresponds to the number of arrivals indicating the number of times until the number of executions of the variable game is reached “65536”, which is the prescribed number.

  The number of released games is newly set to “65536” with the start of the jackpot ART, and the counting is started. Note that the content of the number of released games is maintained depending on the start of the BN mode, normal ART, or the like. The number of released games is also set to “65536 times” by a specific operation such as a RAM clear operation that erases (clears) the stored contents of the sub-control RAM 41c based on power-on of the pachislot 10.

  In this way, the sub control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the jackpot ART based on the execution of the variable game regardless of the effect state. For this reason, the sub-control CPU 41a may generate the right to shift to the jackpot ART during the jackpot ART as well as during the BN mode, the preparation mode, and the normal ART as well as in the normal mode. it can.

Next, a shortening specification for shortening the number of released games in the jackpot ART will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 8 (c), the reduction of the number of released games of the jackpot ART is as follows: “All production state: at the time of winning the bell role” as a lottery, and “10 times / 20 times / 30 times /.・ / 20000 times / 30000 times / 65536 times ”is defined.

  In other words, the reduction of the number of games released from the jackpot ART is the result of lottery of the shortened game number lottery performed at the time of winning the bell role in all the production states, as defined in the specification of “all production states: at the time of bell role”. It occurs based on. In addition, the reduction of the number of games played by the jackpot ART is “10 times / 20 times / 30 times /... / 20000 times / 30000 times / 65536 times” as specified in the specification “10” or more. Can be shortened at once, and “65536 times” can be shortened at once.

  In the short game number lottery, “10”, “20”, “30”,... “ Random numbers are assigned to any one of “20,000”, “30000”, and “65536”. When the sub-control CPU 41a derives a result other than “0 (zero)” in the shortened game number lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a shortens the number of released games by “10” or more, while “0 (zero)” in the shortened game number lottery. When the result is derived, the number of released games is not shortened.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a can be shortened by lottery for each variable game that will be won as a bell until the jackpot ART right that is advantageous to the player is generated. For this reason, the sub-control CPU 41a can generate the jackpot ART right from any situation regardless of the content of the number of released games. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs control for reducing the number of released games functions as a shortening execution unit. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a that subtracts (counts) the number of released games by “1” every time a variable game is performed functions as an execution number counting unit.

  In addition, since the short game number lottery is performed at the time of winning the bell role in all effects, if the BB mode (BB game) or RB mode (RB game) can be continuously won for the bell role, it is released during this time. The number of games will be shortened. In addition, since the number of variable games in the BB mode, that is, the number of winning bells is larger than that in the RB mode, the number of released games is concentrated in the BB mode compared with in the RB mode. Is called. In the following description, “concentrated shortening” means a reduction in the number of released games in the BB mode, and “medium shortening” means a reduction in the number of released games in the RB mode.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the subtraction of the number of released games starts (subtraction start), the remaining number of released games is “65536” (scene A1). Further, when the number of released games of “30000” is shortened halfway after the subtraction of the number of released games starts, if the remaining at that time is “65536”, the remaining number of released games is “35536” ( Scene A2). In practice, between the scenes A1 and A2, the number of released games is subtracted (shortened) by the number of executions of the variable game.

  In addition, when the number of released games of “20000” is shortened midway after the subtraction of the number of released games starts, if the remaining at that time is “35536”, the remaining number of released games is “15536” ( Scene A3). Actually, the number of released games is subtracted (shortened) by the number of times of execution of the variable game between scene A2 and scene A3.

  In addition, when the BB mode starts midway after the subtraction of the number of released games starts, concentration reduction of the number of released games occurs during this BB mode (in BB) (scene A4). If the reduction of the number of released games of “10000” occurs due to the concentration reduction of the number of released games, if the remaining at that time is “15536”, the remaining number of released games becomes “5536” (scene A4). Actually, the number of released games is subtracted (reduced) by the number of executions of the variable game between the scenes A3 and A4 and further in the scene A4.

  Also, when the number of released games of “300” is shortened halfway after the subtraction of the number of released games starts, if the remaining at that time is “5536”, the remaining number of released games is “5236” ( Scene A5). Actually, the number of released games is subtracted (reduced) by the number of times of execution of the variable game between scenes A4 and A5.

  Further, when the RB mode is started halfway after the subtraction of the number of released games starts, the number of released games is shortened during this RB mode (in RB) (scene A6). If the number of released games of “1000” is shortened due to the shortening of the number of released games, if the remaining time is “5236”, the remaining number of released games is “4236” (scene A6). Actually, the number of released games is subtracted (shortened) by the number of times of execution of the variable game between scene A5 and scene A6 and further in scene A6.

  In addition, when the number of released games of “3000” is shortened in the middle of the subtraction of the number of released games, if the remaining time is “4236”, the remaining number of released games is “1236” ( Scene A7). Actually, the number of released games is subtracted (reduced) by the number of executions of the variable game between scenes A6 and A7.

  Also, if the number of released games of “1000” is shortened halfway after the subtraction of the number of released games starts, if the remaining number at that time is “1236”, the remaining number of released games is “236” ( Scene A8). Actually, the number of released games is subtracted (shortened) by the number of times of execution of the variable game between scene A7 and scene A8.

  Then, when the number of released games of “300” is shortened halfway after the subtraction of the number of released games starts, if the remaining number at that time is “236”, the remaining number of released games is “0 (zero)”. (Scene A9) As a result, the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. Actually, the number of released games is subtracted (shortened) by the number of times of execution of the variable game between scene A8 and scene A9.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the right of the jackpot ART is generated by reducing the number of released games based on the shortened specification of the jackpot ART. In the present embodiment, depending on the progress of the “1000 times” variable game, an effect equivalent to the reduction of the number of released games of “1000” is obtained. Therefore, the number of released games based on the jackpot ART release specification is also subtracted. This greatly contributes to the generation of the right to transition to jackpot ART.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right for the jackpot ART, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the jackpot ART with the entry prize if it is in the normal mode or the preparation mode. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the remaining number of stock games accumulated in the sub-control RAM 41c until the occurrence of the current jackpot ART to the remaining G number, and shifts to the jackpot ART. Erase (reset to “0 (zero)”). When the preparation mode is based on the generation of the right to shift to the normal ART, the shift to the jackpot ART is made as an interruption of the normal ART. This normal ART interruption is performed in the same manner as when the BN mode is shifted to during the ART mode, and the remaining G number is set to “50 times” as various information (the remaining G number, etc.) at the time of interruption. After the end of the jackpot ART, a transition to normal ART (return) is made based on various information (such as the number of remaining G) at the time of interruption.

  Further, when the right for jackpot ART is generated, the sub-control CPU 41a interrupts the normal ART and shifts to the jackpot ART if it is during the normal ART. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the remaining number of stock games accumulated in the sub-control RAM 41c until the occurrence of the current jackpot ART to the remaining G number, and shifts to the jackpot ART. Erase (reset to “0 (zero)”). The normal ART is interrupted in the same manner as when the BN mode is shifted to during the ART mode, and various information (such as the remaining G number) at the time of the interruption is retained and interrupted after the jackpot ART ends. Based on various types of information (such as the number of remaining G) at the time, transition to normal ART (return) is performed.

  Further, when generating the right of the jackpot ART, the sub-control CPU 41a is used for sub-control until the occurrence of the current jackpot ART in the remaining G number of the jackpot ART set at that time if it is during the jackpot ART. The number of stock games accumulated and stored in the RAM 41c is added, and the jackpot ART is continued.

  In addition, when generating the right for the jackpot ART, the sub-control CPU 41a, if in the BN mode, shifts to the jackpot ART in response to the entry prize after the end of the BN mode. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the remaining number of stock games accumulated in the sub-control RAM 41c until the occurrence of the current jackpot ART to the remaining G number, and shifts to the jackpot ART. Erase (reset to “0 (zero)”).

  Then, during the jackpot ART (during the control of the jackpot ART), the sub control CPU 41a is instructed to start a variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”. In this case, the jackpot ART is terminated as the continuation condition of the jackpot ART is not established (non-continuation). In this case, if the normal ART is being interrupted, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts (returns) from the next variable game to the normal ART based on various information (the number of remaining G, etc.). On the other hand, if the normal ART is not interrupted, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so that a highly accurate RT effect is performed from the next variable game, and ends the jackpot ART, that is, the ART mode.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a accumulates and stores the number of stock games that become a game profit of the jackpot ART until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated, and the jack based on the number of such stock games. Control to pot ART.

Next, various specifications regarding the stock of the number of stock games that will be the gaming profit of the jackpot ART will be described in detail.
First, the stock history notification specification for the number of stock games will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 11A, a history notification display area H is formed in the upper part of the display area of the effect display device 14 as history notification means. In the history notification display area H, a plurality of (in this embodiment, five) individual display areas H1 to H5 are formed. In the individual display areas H1 to H5, information indicating the number of stock games (in this embodiment, a notification mode based on “color”) is notified to the player. Further, the individual display areas H1 to H5 notify the old history as the individual display area on the left side (OLD side) as viewed from the player, and are newer as the individual display area on the right side (NEW side) as viewed from the player. Announce the history. In other words, in the history notification display area H, the individual history of the stock of the number of stock games is made up to five times in the order of the individual display area H1, the individual display area H2, the individual display area H3, the individual display area H4, and the individual display area H5. (Upper limit range that can be notified) is notified in the order of stock (cumulative order).

  In the history notification display area H, every time the number of stock games is stocked, information corresponding to the content of the number of stock games is notified in the individual display area H5 and information that has been notified in each individual display area. Are updated to the contents respectively slid in the individual display area on the left. Accordingly, the information that has been notified in the individual display area H1 is not notified in the history notification display area H.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the stock history notification of the number of stock games is “golden / red / green / yellow / white” as the notification mode, and the stock game count “300 times / The specification which notifies "100 times or more / 50 times or more / 10 times or more / 5 times or more" is defined.

  That is, the history notification of the number of stock games reports the stock history of the number of stock games of “300” as defined in the specification of “number of stock games: 300 times” for “gold”. Further, the history notification of the number of stock games is “100” or more, that is, “100”, “200”, or “300” as defined in the specification of “number of stock games: 100 times or more” for “red”. The stock history of the number of stock games is notified. Further, the history notification of the number of stock games is “50” or more, that is, “50”, “100”, “200”, “ The stock history of any stock game number of “300” is notified. Further, the history notification of the number of stock games is “10” or more, that is, “10”, “20”, “30”, “30”, as defined in the specification of “number of stock games: 10 times or more” for “yellow”. The stock history of the stock game number of any one of “50”, “100”, “200”, and “300” is notified. Also, the stock game number history notification is “5” or more, that is, any stock game other than “0 (zero)” as defined in the specification of “number of stock games: 5 times or more” for “white”. Announce the history of stock of numbers.

  In the history notification of the number of stock games, when the stock of the number of stock games is generated, random numbers are distributed to any of the notification modes according to the number of stock games to be stocked so as to have a predetermined probability. In the present embodiment, when the stock history of the number of stock games of “300” is notified, random numbers are distributed so that it is easy to determine the order of white <yellow <green <red <gold <notification mode. Further, when the stock history of the number of stock games of “200” or “100” is notified, random numbers are distributed so that it is easier to determine the order of white <yellow <green <green <red. Further, when the stock history of the number of stock games of “50” is notified, random numbers are distributed so that it is easy to determine the order of white <yellow> <green notification mode. In addition, when the stock history of the number of stock games of “30”, “20”, “10”, or “5” is notified, random numbers are distributed so that the white notification mode is most easily determined. . Note that the notification mode of “golden” or “red” is an advantageous history for a player who determines the history of the stock of “100” or more stock games.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, there is no history notification in the individual display area H1 (indicated by diagonal lines), white in the individual display areas H2 and H3, green in the individual display area H4, and yellow in the individual display area H5. Is reported twice, stocks of “50” and above are generated once, stocks of “10” and above are generated once, and the history of these occurrences is shown to the player. Informed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the stock of “5” or more (stock corresponding to “white”) occurs, the notification contents in the individual display area are slid to the left (OLD direction), respectively. The display areas H1 and H2 are notified of white, the individual display area H3 is notified of green, the individual display area H4 is notified of yellow, and the individual display area H5 is notified of white. In this case, the player is notified of the occurrence of the stock of “5” or more once, the occurrence of the stock of “50” or more once, the occurrence of the stock of “10” or more once, and the history of these occurrences.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11D, when “300” stock (stock corresponding to “gold”) is generated, the notification contents in the individual display area are slid to the left (OLD direction), respectively, and displayed individually. White is notified in the area H1, green in the individual display area H2, yellow in the individual display area H3, white in the individual display area H4, and gold in the individual display area H5. In this case, the stock of “5” or more is generated twice, the stock of “50” or more is generated once, the stock of “10” or more is generated once, the stock of “300” is generated once, The history is notified to the player.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, stocks have been stocked at the last five times out of the gaming profits (number of stock games) given when the right of the jackpot ART is generated by the notification based on the stock history notification specification of the number of stock games. The game profit and the game profit acquired by the player himself are notified to the player.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a generates the stock of the number of stock games, it controls the display mode of the history notification display area H (effect display device 14) based on the contents of the stock. In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the notification mode of the individual display areas H1 to H5 so as to add the newly stocked history to the already-reported history and indicate the content of deleting the oldest history. Control. The sub-control CPU 41a is in an initial state (indicated by hatching) in which the history is not notified in each of the individual display areas H1 to H5 in accordance with the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART. The display mode of the history notification display area H (effect display device 14) is controlled.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to notify the stock history of the number of stock games in response to the stock of the number of stock games in all the production states where the stock of the number of stock games can be generated.

Next, the stock game number notification specification for the number of stock games will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 13A, a stock game number notification display area CT is formed below the history notification display area H of the display area of the effect display device 14. In this stock game number notification display area CT, a plurality (five in this embodiment) of digit display areas CT1 to CT5 are formed. In these digit display areas CT1 to CT5, a part of each number (information) of a plurality of digits indicating the number of stock games stored in an accumulated manner (in this embodiment, one of the ten to ten thousand stock game numbers). Up to thousands)) is notified to the player. Also, the digit display area CT1 is “one's place”, the digit display area CT2 is “ten's place”, the digit display area CT3 is “hundred place”, the digit display area CT4 is “thousand place”, and the digit display area CT5. Announces the “ten thousand places” respectively. That is, in the stock game number notification display area CT, each of the number of stock games is displayed as [digit display area CT5] [digit display area CT4] [digit display area CT3] [digit display area CT2] [digit display area CT1]. Digits are reported.

  In the stock game number notification display area CT, the digit display area CT5 is always hidden (not displayed, that is, not notified), while the digit display areas CT1 to CT4 are displayed in order from the lower digit by lottery. It is updated to the (display, ie, notification) state. In accordance with this, the number of digits corresponding to the number of stock games notified in the corresponding digit display area (information amount) increases.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the stock game number notification of the number of stock games defines the specifications of “each ART non-winning: rare role winning” as a lottery, and “notify one digit from the first place” as a notification mode. ing.

  That is, the stock game number notification of the number of stock games did not lead to the generation of the right to transition to each ART regardless of the production state as defined in the specification of “each ART non-winning: rare role winning” (ART It is generated based on the lottery result of the stock game number announcement lottery performed when the rare role is won. In the present embodiment, among the small roles, a watermelon role and a cherry role that are difficult to win in the role lottery and have a lower appearance frequency than the bell role and the replay role (total) are rare roles.

  In the stock game number notification lottery, when a watermelon role or cherry role that has not led to the generation of the right to move to each ART is instructed in a variation game of all the production states, Random numbers are assigned to either “winning” or “non-winning”. When the sub-control CPU 41a derives the “winning” result in the stock game number notification lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the number of the least significant digit hidden at that time, while the stock game number notification lottery indicates “non- When the result of “winning” is derived, any numbers hidden at that time are not notified.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 13B, when any digit number is hidden (indicated by diagonal lines) in the digit display areas CT1 to CT5, the accumulated number of stock games stored in the player Not notified.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13 (c), as a result of the appearance of a digit in the digit display area CT1 (notification of the one's place), “0 (zero)” is informed as the first place, and then the digit display is further performed. As a result of the appearance of the numbers in the region CT2 (tenth place notification), “9” is reported as the tenth place. In this case, the player is informed that at least “90” stock game numbers are accumulated and stored.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13 (d), when a stock of the number of stock games being informed of the numbers in the digit display areas CT1 and CT2 (here, "5" stock) is generated, the digit display area CT1 The number is updated and “5” is notified. In this case, the player is notified of the occurrence of the stock whose first place is updated to “5”.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, notification of up to a thousandth of the gaming profits (number of stock games) given when the right of the jackpot ART is generated by notification based on the stock game number notification specification of the number of stock games. A part of information with the upper limit of is notified to the player.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of “winning” in the stock game number notification lottery, the stock game number notification display area CT (effect display device 14) is based on the stock game number accumulated and stored at that time. Control the display mode. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a changes the notification mode of the digit display areas CT1 to CT5 so as to show the contents showing the digits corresponding to the lowest digit display area among the digits displayed in the digit display areas CT1 to CT5. Decide and control.

  Further, when the stock for the number of stock games is generated, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display mode of the stock game number notification display area CT (effect display device 14) based on the stocked result. In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a determines and controls the notification mode of the digit display areas CT1 to CT5 so that a newly stocked result is obtained for the digit number already present, that is, the digit number that is already present. .

  The sub-control CPU 41a displays the history notification so that the numbers are hidden in the digit display areas CT1 to CT5 (indicated by hatching) in accordance with the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART. The display mode of area H (effect display device 14) is controlled.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to notify a part of information on the stock game number accumulated and stored in all effect states in which the stock game number is stocked. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs control for notifying the history and information regarding the number of stock games functions as a gaming profit notifying unit.

Next, a game profit relief specification based on the stock game stock will be described.
As shown in FIG. 14, the game profit based on the stock of the number of stock games has a specification of “the number of stock games: less than 300 times” as a relief condition and “the number of stock games: 300 times” as a relief content.

  In other words, the game profit based on the stock of the number of stock games does not satisfy a certain condition (reference profit) for the number of stock games accumulated and stored as defined in the specification of “number of stock games: less than 300 times”. If you are rescued. In addition, the game profit relief based on the stock of the number of stock games stipulates the provision of a game profit that stocks “300 times” as the number of stock games as defined in the specification of “number of stock games: 300 times”. . Depending on the game profit relief, the number of stock games is added to be “300 times” with respect to the cumulatively stored “less than 300 times” stock game number.

  As described above, in this embodiment, “300 consecutive minimum guarantees” which is the minimum guaranteed profit as the gaming profit (number of stock games) granted when the right of jackpot ART is generated by the relief based on the stock of the number of stock games. The game profit is guaranteed to the player.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the cumulative number of stored stock games is “300” or more when shifting to the jackpot ART after generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART. Make a relief decision. If the determination result of the relief determination is negative (the number of stock games is less than “300”), the sub-control CPU 41a controls to set “300” as the remaining G number. On the other hand, if the determination of the relief determination is affirmative (the number of stock games is “300” or more), the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to set the number of stock games accumulated and stored at that time as the remaining G number. To do. The sub-control CPU 41a, when the right to shift to the jackpot ART during the normal ART is generated, makes a relief determination in response to the occurrence of the right and the number of stock games corresponding to the determination result of the relief determination remains. It controls to set as G number. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a, when the right to shift to the jackpot ART during the jackpot ART is generated, makes a relief determination triggered by the occurrence of the right, and determines the number of stock games corresponding to the determination result of the relief determination. Control is performed so that the remaining G number being set is added (added).

  As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that “300 times continued according to the stock status of the number of stock games when the accumulated stock game number is given to the player as the game profit of the jackpot ART. Control to ensure the minimum profit "game profit. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs a relief determination as to whether or not the number of stock games stocked has reached “300” functions as a profit determination unit.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, as a result of the sub-control CPU 41a performing control related to the jackpot ART based on the various specifications described above, the flow of the game up to the jackpot ART as exemplified below is performed. Created.

  FIG. 15 exemplifies a situation where the number of released games is reached at the timing after scene B8 or after scene B9, assuming that the number of released games is not reached in scenes B1 to B8. FIG. 15 shows that the accumulated number of stored stock games is “85” and the notification mode of the history notification display area H is “white”, “white”, “yellow”, “white”, “ The flow of the game is illustrated from the situation in which only “1” appears in the notification mode of the stock game number notification display area CT and “0 (zero)”.

  Then, as shown in the scene B1, when the stock of the stock game number “10” occurs (stock + 10), the stock game number accumulated and stored is updated to “95”. In this case, when the stock history notification of the number of stock games is performed in the “yellow” notification mode, the history notification display area H is “white”, “yellow”, “white”, “white”, “yellow” in order from the left. Is updated to the notification mode. Furthermore, the stock game number notification display area CT is updated to a notification mode in which “5” appears in the first place.

  Subsequently, as shown in the scene B2, when the stock of the number of stock games of “20” occurs (stock + 20), the cumulative number of stock games stored is updated to “115”. In this case, when the stock history notification of the number of stock games is performed in the “yellow” notification mode, the history notification display area H is “yellow”, “white”, “white”, “yellow”, “yellow” in order from the left. Is updated to the notification mode. Furthermore, the stock game number notification display area CT is maintained in a notification mode in which “5” appears in the first place. In this case, since the situation of scene B1 is changed from the tens place showing “9” to the situation of scene B2, the situation is changed to tens place showing “1”. While the player cannot grasp the change from the figure, if the tens place appears, the player can grasp the change in the stock of the number of stock games.

  Subsequently, as shown in the scene B3, after the stock game number notification display area CT is updated to the tenth notification mode, the stock of the number of stock games of “50” is generated as shown in the scene B4. In the case (stock + 50), the accumulated stock game number is updated to “165”. In this case, when the stock history notification of the number of stock games is performed in the “green” notification mode, the history notification display area H is “white”, “white”, “yellow”, “yellow”, “green” in order from the left. Is updated to the notification mode. Further, the stock game number notification display area CT is updated to a notification mode in which “6” is displayed at the tenth place and “5” is displayed at the first place. In the scene B3, the stock game number notification display area CT is updated to a notification mode in which “1” is displayed at the tenth place and “5” is displayed at the first place.

  Subsequently, as shown in the scene B5, after the start of the BB mode (BB start), as shown in the end of the BB mode of the scene B6 (BB end), a stock of “5” stock games is generated during this period. In the case (stock + 5), the accumulated number of stored stock games is updated to “170”. In this case, when the stock history notification of the number of stock games is performed in the “white” notification mode, the history notification display area H is “white”, “yellow”, “yellow”, “green”, “white” in order from the left. Is updated to the notification mode. Further, the stock game number notification display area CT is updated to a notification mode in which “7” is displayed at the tenth place and “0” is displayed at the first place. Note that during the BB mode, it is easy to win the role of the bell, and it is difficult for the stock game to be lost. Therefore, the stock of the number of stock games is less likely to occur than the same number of variable games in the normal mode.

  Subsequently, as shown in the scene B7, after the start of the normal ART (normal ART start), as shown in the end of the normal ART of the scene B8 (normal ART end), there is a stock of “+100” stock games during this period. When it occurs (stock + 100), the cumulative number of stored stock games is updated to “270”. In this case, when the stock history notification of the number of stock games is performed in the “red” notification mode, the history notification display area H is “yellow”, “yellow”, “green”, “white”, “red” in order from the left. Is updated to the notification mode. Furthermore, the stock game number notification display area CT is maintained in a notification mode in which “7” is displayed at the tenth place and “0” is displayed at the first place. In this case, since the situation of the hundreds indicating “1” is changed in the case of the scene B7, the situation of the hundreds indicating “2” is changed in the case of the scene B8. While the player cannot grasp the change from the first place number, if the hundred place appears, the player can grasp the change in the stock of the number of stock games. In addition, during the normal ART, it is easy to win the replay role and it is difficult to lose the stock game. Therefore, the stock of the number of stock games is less likely to occur than the same number of variable games in the normal mode.

  Subsequently, after the passage of the scene B8, when the jackpot ART is started without the occurrence of a new stock of stock games, “30” is added because the number of stock games at this time is less than “300”. Further, a jackpot ART based on the minimum guaranteed number of games of “300” is awarded to the player.

  On the other hand, after the passage of scene B8, as shown in scene B9, when the stock of the number of stock games “300” occurs (stock + 300), the stock game number stored cumulatively is updated to “570”. The In this case, when the stock history notification of the number of stock games is performed in the “gold” notification mode, the history notification display area H is sequentially displayed from the left to “yellow”, “green”, “white”, “red”, “gold”. Is updated to the notification mode. Furthermore, the stock game number notification display area CT is maintained in a notification mode in which “7” is displayed at the tenth place and “0” is displayed at the first place. In this case, since the situation of the hundreds indicating “2” is changed in the case of scene B8, the situation of the hundreds indicating “5” is changed in the case of scene B9. While the player cannot grasp the change from the first place number, if the hundred place appears, the player can grasp the change in the stock of the number of stock games.

  Subsequently, when the jackpot ART is started after the passage of the scene B9, since the number of stock games at this time is “570” of “300” or more, the jackpot ART based on the number of stock games of “570”. Is given to the player.

  Therefore, as shown in the flow of scenes B1 to B9 in FIG. 15, in the present embodiment, the jackpot ART is based on the number of stock games stocked until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. The gaming profit of the game is controlled. For this reason, regarding the game profit to be stocked, an element that causes the player to pay attention until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is added.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, after the right to shift to the normal ART is generated, the game profit to the normal ART is controlled based on the remaining S number determined irrespective of the number of stock games stocked. For this reason, with regard to the normal ART, an element that causes the player to pay attention after the right to shift to the normal ART is added.

  Further, as shown in the flow of scenes B5 to B6 and scenes B7 to B8 in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, the number of stock games stocked can be stored and retained regardless of the change in the production state (game state). Thus, even if a plurality of performance states (game states) are sandwiched before the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated, the stock of the number of stock games is made possible.

  In addition, as shown in the flow of scenes B1 to B5 in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, the number of stock games can be stocked even in the normal mode scene, so that the game in the most unfavorable state for the player is possible. However, an element that draws attention to the player is added.

  In accordance with the flow of the game up to the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART shown in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, the number of stock games stocked in the last five times and the stock acquired by the player himself The number of games is notified to the player by the notification mode of the history notification display area H. Depending on this notification mode, the player is also notified of the contents of the number of stock games stocked. For this reason, in addition to the occurrence of the number of stock games, the player can grasp the contents of the stock in the last five times, and as a result, an element that causes the player to pay attention to the stocked gaming profit is added. Furthermore, as shown in the scene B2 and the scene B4 in FIG. 15, depending on the occurrence of a stock of a new stock game number, the content of the stock game number stocked is grasped by the player, so in any scene Players will be able to know if only the number of stock games has been stocked.

  Further, in accordance with the flow of the game up to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART shown in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, 1 to 1000 out of 1 to 10,000 stock games are stocked. The player is notified by the notification mode of the stock game number notification display area CT. For this reason, the number of stock games stocked can be grasped by the player. As a result, an element that causes the player to pay attention to the stocked gaming profit is added.

  And in the stock game number notification display area CT, as shown in the scene B1 to the scene B3 in FIG. 15, thousands of digits are displayed in order from the lowest digit display area CT1 by continuing the game. The player is gradually notified until the area CT4. In the number of stock games composed of a plurality of digits as in the present embodiment, the influence of information on the gaming profit on the advantage and disadvantage of the upper order becomes greater than the lower order. For this reason, a player comes to grasp in order from the contents that have a small influence on the advantages and disadvantages of information relating to game profits.

  Further, as shown in the scene B2, the scene B4, etc. in FIG. 15, depending on the occurrence of a stock of a new stock game number, a change in the number of stock games that are stocked is changed according to the notification mode of the stock game number notification display area CT. The person is informed. For this reason, by making it possible for the player to grasp the result of the occurrence of a stock with a new number of stock games, an element for directing the player's interest to the content of the occurrence of the stock is added.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a lottery element is provided regarding whether or not to increase the digits to be notified in the stock game number notification display area CT, thereby changing the timing of increasing the digits to be notified in the stock game number notification display area CT. To allow irregular arrivals.

  Further, as shown in the flow of the transition to the jackpot ART after the scene B8 in FIG. 15, in this embodiment, if the number of stock games stocked is less than “300”, the jack is further based on the added game profit. Game profits in pot ART are controlled. That is, even when the player thinks that a large number of stock games is not stocked, it can be controlled to a jackpot ART based on a larger game profit than expected. Therefore, an element that causes the player to pay attention to the gaming profit accumulated and stored until the right to transfer is generated is added.

  The jackpot ART is guaranteed for the number of stock games equivalent to “300”, which is the minimum guaranteed number of games, regardless of the situation in which the right to transfer is generated. That is, the player's profit can be relieved even when the stock game number stocked is less than “300” and the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number of released games until the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART can be shortened to more than “1” based on the shortened game lottery, Since there are cases where the number of released games is not shortened because it is not won, a variable game is played as much as the shortening is not performed easily. For this reason, the number of released games is not shortened easily because the number of stock games can be stocked before the right to shift to jackpot ART is generated as in the present embodiment, because the shortened game number lottery is not won. Even in such a case, it is possible to give stock opportunities for the number of stock games while the time is not shortened.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the game is continuously performed, an opportunity to shorten the number of released games comes based on the shortened game number lottery, so that the game is continuously played to the jackpot ART. Allows players to move closer to the right to transfer. Furthermore, by allowing the number of stock games to be stocked regardless of the change in the production state until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated as in this embodiment, the player is noticed regarding the stock of the number of stock games. It is possible to bring the player closer to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART as the game continues to be performed while adding elements. In this way, when the game is continuously performed, “1” is shortened for each execution of the variable game regardless of whether or not the number of released games is shortened.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The jackpot ART is controlled based on the number of stock games (game profits) stocked until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. That is, the player can be focused on the number of stock games accumulated and stocked until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. For this reason, the interest of the game until the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART can be improved.

  (2) The normal ART is controlled based on the remaining S number (game profit) determined irrespective of the number of stock games stocked after the right to shift to the normal ART is generated. In other words, regarding the normal ART, the player can be noticed after the right to shift to the normal ART is generated. For this reason, with regard to the jackpot ART, it is possible to improve the interest of the game until the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART. On the other hand, with respect to the normal ART, Interest can be improved.

  (3) As a result of improving the player's expectation for becoming a jackpot ART, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game until the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART.

  (4) Even if a plurality of production states (game states) are sandwiched by the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART by allowing the stock game number to be stocked regardless of the change of the production state (game state) You can now stock stock game numbers. For this reason, even if a plurality of performance states are sandwiched by the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, it is possible to improve the interest of the game until the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART.

  (5) Since the number of stock games can be stocked even in the normal mode scene, it is possible to add an element that causes the player to pay attention even in a game in the most disadvantageous state for the player.

  (6) A part of information on the number of stock games stocked until the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART (in this embodiment, 1 to 1000 out of 1 to 10,000 stock games) Will be recognized by the player. Then, depending on the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, the jackpot ART is controlled based on information grasped by the player. That is, the player can be focused on the number of stock games stocked until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. For this reason, the interest of the game until the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART can be improved.

  (7) As the game is continuously performed, information regarding the number of stock games stocked is gradually grasped by the player. That is, in the game up to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, the fun of the game can be improved by giving the player fun for each game.

  (8) A numerical value of a plurality of digits (in this embodiment, five digits in the range of ten to ten thousand) is given to the advantage and disadvantage because the higher one has a greater influence on the advantage and disadvantage of the information related to the gaming profit. The player can grasp the contents in ascending order of influence. That is, when information related to game profits is notified, the player's interest can be directed to the content that has a greater influence on the game profits, so that the interest of the game during this period can be improved.

  (9) From information related to game profits (stock game number notification display area CT), the player can grasp the change in the number of stock games stocked. In other words, when a change in the content notified as information related to the game profit is recognized by the player, the player's interest can be directed to what kind of change has occurred. Interest can be improved.

  (10) Regarding whether or not to increase the amount of information related to game profits, by providing a lottery element, it is possible to change the timing of increasing the amount of information. That is, since an increase in the amount of information related to the game profit can be made irregularly, the player's interest can be directed to the increase in the amount of information.

  (11) The player can grasp the stock history regarding the number of stock games stocked before the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. Then, depending on the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, the jackpot ART is controlled based on the history grasped by the player. That is, the player can be focused on the number of stock games stocked until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated. For this reason, the interest of the game until the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART can be improved.

  (12) The player can grasp information corresponding to the stocked history as the stock game history. That is, in the game up to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, the fun of the game can be improved by giving the player fun every time the number of stock games is stocked.

  (13) From the stock history of the number of stock games (history notification display area H), the player can grasp the contents of the stock game number stocked by updating the stock game number stocked. In other words, since the player knows what stock game number was stocked in which scene, the player is asked whether or not it is a scene that can be expected from the stock of the stock game number thereafter. Can be interested in.

  (14) From the stock history of the number of stock games (history notification display area H), the player grasps the content and the order of the number of stock games stocked in the latest upper limit range (5 times) that can be notified. become able to. From such a stock history of the most recent stock games, if a history advantageous to the player (in this embodiment, a “red” or “gold” notification mode) is reported, such history is reported. As long as it is being played, at least the player's willingness to continue the game can be maintained high.

  (15) The jackpot ART is controlled based on the number of stock games stocked until the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, while the number of stock games is the reference profit (in this embodiment, If it does not reach “300”), the control is based on the number of added stock games. In other words, the player can be focused on the number of stock games stocked until the jackpot right is generated. Furthermore, even if the player thinks that a large number of stock games is not stocked, it can be controlled by jackpot ART based on a larger number of stock games than expected, so the right to transition to jackpot ART With regard to the number of stock games that are stocked up to the time of occurrence, the player can be noticed regardless of the scene. For this reason, the interest of the game until the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART can be improved.

  (16) The jackpot ART is guaranteed for the minimum guaranteed profit (in this embodiment, “300” which is the minimum guaranteed number of games) regardless of the circumstances when the right to shift to the jackpot ART occurs. It becomes like this. That is, the player can enjoy the game up to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART with peace of mind.

  (17) The player can be expected to shorten the number of released games until the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART (here, the winning of the shortened game number lottery). Become. Furthermore, while making the player expect to reduce the number of released games, the player can be more focused on the number of stock games to be stocked even if the reduction in the number of released games is not achieved. . For this reason, the interest of the game until the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART can be improved.

  (18) Since a chance of shortening (here, winning of a shortened game number lottery) will come if the game is played, the player is brought closer to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART as the game is played. Will be able to. For this reason, it is possible to contribute to the continuation of the player's willingness to continue the game until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated.

  (19) While the number of stock games can be stocked regardless of the change in the production state (game state), if the game is played regardless of the production state, an opportunity for shortening (here, winning the short game number lottery) comes It becomes like this. As a result, the player can be brought closer to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART as the game is played while paying attention to the player regarding the number of stock games to be stocked. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's willingness to continue the game until the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated.

  (20) The number of released games can be shortened by subtraction by execution of a variable game, regardless of whether or not the number of released games is shortened (here, shortening based on winning of the shortened game number lottery). become. For this reason, if a game is played, a predetermined number of minutes (in this embodiment, at least “1”) is always shortened, so that the game is played regardless of whether or not the number of released games is shortened. The player can be brought closer to the generation of the right to transfer to the pot ART.

  (21) Depending on the shortening of the number of released games by shortened game number lottery, the number of games can be shortened more than the subtraction by the execution of the variable game (subtraction of “1” in the present embodiment). For this reason, in each variable game up to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for shortening the number of released games by lottery for the number of shortened games.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Note that, in the embodiments described below, the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the already described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions thereof are omitted or simplified.

A description will be given of a game profit relief specification based on the stock of the number of stock games in the present embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 16 (a) to 16 (c), the game profit based on the stock of the stock game number is “stock game number: less than 300 times” as the relief condition, and the relief content 1 is “stock game number: 5 times / “10 times / 20 times” ”, and as the content of relief 2, the specification of“ the number of stock games: 300 times ”is defined as 0 times of stock games or less than 300 times after the number of stock games.

  That is, the game profit relief based on the stock of the number of stock games in the present embodiment is “5 times”, “10 times”, “20” as the number of stock games stocked at that time as defined in the specification of the relief content 1. The provision of gaming profits as a result of applying any of “double” is defined. Further, the game profit remedy based on the stock of the number of stock games in the present embodiment is multiplied by the number of stock games currently stocked at that time as defined in the specifications of the remedy 2 In addition, when the game game count is only “0”, the provision of game profits that stock “300” as the number of stock games is determined. Further, the game profit relief based on the stock of the number of stock games in the present embodiment is any of “5 times / 10 times / 20 times” the stock games stocked at that time as defined in the specifications of the relief content 2. As a result of this (after the number of stock games), if it is “less than 300 times”, the provision of game profit based on “300 times” is determined as the number of stock games.

  Depending on the game profit remedy of this embodiment, the stocked number of stock games of less than 300 times accumulated and stored is multiplied by a predetermined number such as “5 times / 10 times / 20 times”. The number of games will be added. On the other hand, depending on the game profit relief of the present embodiment, even if the number of stock games is added, the number of stock games is added to be “300 times” with respect to the number of stock games “less than 300 times”. Become.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the gaming profit of “300 times minimum guaranteed” is given as the gaming profit (the number of stock games) given when the right of jackpot ART is generated by the relief based on the stock of the number of stock games. In addition to being guaranteed by the player, the player can be given a greater gaming profit by “5 times / 10 times / 20 times”.

  In the relief by a predetermined multiple of “5 times / 10 times / 20 times”, for example, if the number of stock games is “60”, “5 times” reaches “300”, while “10 times” or “ “20 times” can greatly exceed “300”.

  Then, after the right to shift to the jackpot ART is generated, if the determination result of the relief determination is negative (the stock game number is less than “300”), the sub control CPU 41a has the stock game number “0 (zero)”. Then, control is performed to set “300” as the remaining G number. In addition, when the determination result of the relief determination is negative, the sub-control CPU 41a reliefs which predetermined number of times “5 times / 10 times / 20 times” is to be multiplied unless the number of stock games is “0 (zero)”. Make a lottery.

  This relief lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to any one of “5 times”, “10 times”, and “20 times” so that a predetermined winning probability is obtained. The sub-control CPU 41a derives a result of “5 times”, “10 times”, or “20 times” in the relief lottery.

That is, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to set a stock game number that is a predetermined number times the result derived in the relief lottery as the remaining G number.
As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that “300 times continued according to the stock status of the number of stock games when the accumulated stock game number is given to the player as the game profit of the jackpot ART. The game profit is controlled so that a larger game profit can be granted while guaranteeing the game profit of "minimum guarantee".

Therefore, according to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) to (21) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(22) When the jackpot ART derives a negative determination result (the number of stock games is less than “300”) in the relief determination, the number of stock games stocked at that time is multiplied by a predetermined number (in this embodiment, (5 times, 10 times, 20 times). That is, it is possible to entertain a player with a game having different game characteristics according to the number of stock games stocked in the game up to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART.

  (23) When a negative determination result (the number of stock games is less than “300”) is derived in the relief determination, the gaming profit to be guaranteed even if the number of stock games stocked is “0 (zero)” It can be created effectively. In other words, no matter what circumstances the right to transfer is generated, a gaming profit to be secured is created, so that the player can enjoy the game up to the generation of the right to transfer to Jackpot ART with peace of mind. Can do.

Each embodiment may be changed as follows.
-Each embodiment is good also as a specification which stocks the number of stock games only in normal mode. According to this, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in the most unfavorable state for the player throughout the game. On the other hand, in games other than the normal mode, the interest of each game can be maintained. For this reason, in improving the interest of the game up to the occurrence of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, it can be realized without reducing the interest of the game other than the normal mode.

-Each embodiment is good also as a specification which stocks the number of stock games, except in the normal mode.
In each embodiment, the number of stock games may be deleted (reset to “0 (zero)”) when an ART mode is sandwiched in the middle or a BN mode (BB / RB) is sandwiched.

  In each embodiment, the jackpot ART may be positioned at a disadvantage than the normal ART. Further, in the ART mode, an ART mode that is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot ART can be set separately. In addition, the normal ART can be configured without being set.

-In each embodiment, the game profit of normal ART can also be defined with the addition aspect which adds the remaining G number in the middle, and the remaining G number set initially.
-In each embodiment, the number of continuation sets may be determined at the timing of a rush prize.

Each embodiment may have a specification that reaches the number of released games set at a predetermined timing with respect to generation of the right to shift to normal ART.
-Each embodiment is good also as a specification which performs ART entry lottery also regarding generation | occurrence | production of the right to transfer to jackpot ART. With regard to the ART entry lottery regarding the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART, it may be a specification that is performed in all production states (game state) or a specification that is performed only in a specific production state (game state). The specification may be made only when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the ART entry lottery regarding the normal ART.

In each embodiment, a dedicated effect device (such as an accessory) for notifying the stock history of the number of stock games may be provided separately from the effect display device 14.
In each embodiment, in the history notification display area H, if the player can grasp the contents stocked as the number of stock games, the player may not grasp the stocked order. For example, as shown in FIG. 17A, in the individual display areas H1 to H5, the number of times each stock game number is stocked may be reported as a history. In FIG. 17A, the individual display area H1 is the number of stock games 5 times or more, the individual display area H2 is the number of stock games 10 times or more, the individual display area H3 is the number of stock games 50 times or more, and the individual display area H4. Indicates the number of stock games of 100 times or more, and the individual display area H5 notifies the number of times each of the 300 stock games is stocked. In such another example, it is possible to notify the stock history of the latest six times or more as the stock history of the number of stock games.

In each embodiment, in the history notification display area H, it can be notified only that the stock of the number of stock games has occurred.
-In each embodiment, it is good also as a specification which alert | reports the numerical value of the least significant digit of the digit concealed in the stock game number alerting | reporting display area CT, whenever a predetermined number of fluctuation games are performed. For example, every time a variable game is played 1000 times, it is possible to notify a number by one digit.

  -In each embodiment, in the stock game number notification display area CT, even if a stock of a new number of stock games occurs, the display content can be set not to be updated, and is matched with the next notification of a hidden digit. May be updated.

  -In each embodiment, you may alert | report the information which can specify the number of stock games instead of notifying the stock game number itself. That is, the number of the digits may be notified to the player by the color of the digit display areas CT1 to CT5. For example, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), the digit display areas CT1 to CT5 are configured by a meter that can specify a number instead of a number, and the number of each digit is given to the player depending on how the meter reaches (indicated by diagonal lines). Notification can also be made. In FIG. 17B, the digit display areas CT1 to CT3 correspond to a notification (appears) state, and the digit display areas CT4 and CT5 correspond to a non-notification (hidden) state.

  -In each embodiment, it is good also as a specification which predetermines the digit concealed in the stock game number alerting | reporting display area CT, and the digit to show. For example, the digit display areas CT1 and CT2 may be always set to be in the appearing state, while the digit display areas CT3 to CT5 may be always set in the hidden state.

  In each embodiment, a stock history of the number of stock games and a notification of information on the number of stock games stocked may be associated with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 17C, in the history notification display area H, the number of stock games stocked as “+10” in the individual display area H1 is notified, and the notified contents are indicated by arrows. An effect is added to the stock game number notification display area CT. Further, as shown in FIG. 17C, in the stock game number notification display area CT, the content added from the individual display area H1 corresponds to the digit display area corresponding to the block image BK (in this case, the tenth place). An effect to be added is added to the digit display area CT2). As a result, the history of the stock of “+10” that has been notified in the individual display area H1 is added to the corresponding digit display area CT2, and the player can grasp “+10” of the number of stock games. In FIG. 17C, the digit display areas CT1 to CT3 correspond to a notification (appearing) state.

  In each embodiment, the standard of the fixed condition (reference profit) in the relief specification may be set to be significantly lower than the guaranteed game profit. For example, the certain condition in the relief specification is “200 The game profit to be guaranteed can be set to “300”.

In each embodiment, the minimum guaranteed gaming profit may be changed to be greater than “300” or less than “300”.
-In each embodiment, when "300 times continuous minimum guarantee" is made, the stock number is added so that the stock game number becomes "300". (Replacement) is also possible.

  In the second embodiment, if the determination result of the relief determination regarding the guarantee of gaming profit is negative (the number of stock games is less than “300”), and the number of stock games is “0 (zero)”, The number of base games may be set, and the number of base games may be multiplied by a predetermined number.

In the second embodiment, the relief content 1 may be a specification such as “50 times” that further increases the game profit, or “2 times” or the like may be set.
In the second embodiment, if the determination result of the relief determination regarding the guarantee of gaming profit is negative (the number of stock games is less than “300”), if the number of stock games is not “0 (zero)”, the relief content 1 and the relief A selection lottery process for selecting which of the contents 2 is to be used for repair may be performed. In this example, the process for controlling the jackpot ART based on the number of stock games obtained by multiplying the number of stock games stocked at that time based on the relief content 1 by a predetermined number corresponds to the addition process. In this example, the process for controlling the jackpot ART based on the “300 minimum continuous guarantee” based on the relief content 2 corresponds to the security process. According to this, when deriving a negative determination result in the relief determination, the jackpot ART multiplies the number of stock games stocked by a predetermined number of times when it is guaranteed for “minimum guaranteed 300 times”. There is a time when it is guaranteed. That is, it is possible to entertain a player with a game having different game characteristics according to the type of guarantee based on the number of stock games stocked in the game up to the generation of the right to shift to the jackpot ART.

  In each embodiment, the number of released games may be subtracted by “2” or more each time a variable game is executed. Further, the number of shortened games determined by the shortened number-of-games lottery may be set to the same number as “1” from which the number of released games is subtracted every time the variable game is executed, or every time the variable game is executed. If the number of released games can be subtracted by “2” or more, “2” or less such as “1” or “2” may be determined.

  -Each embodiment is good also as a specification which shortens or subtracts the number of discharge | release games only in normal mode. Further, the reduction or subtraction of the number of released games may not be performed only in a specific performance state as in the jackpot ART.

  -In each embodiment, when the number of shortened games is larger than the number of released games when the number of released games is shortened by shortened game number lottery, the number of released games set next time may be shortened (subtracted) by these differences. Good. According to this, since the number of released games is shortened by lottery of the number of shortened games, the number of shortened games becomes larger than the number of released games, so that the number of times that does not contribute to the reduction of the number of released games can be used effectively. Will be able to. In other words, by reducing the number of released games by shortened game number lottery, it is possible to realize gameability that is advantageous to the player in any situation.

  In each embodiment, the shortened number-of-games lottery may be executed not only at the time of winning the bell role but also at the time of winning other winning roles, such as in the case of losing. In this case, the number of shortened games can be associated with each winning combination. The shortened game number lottery may be executed every time the variable game is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 20 times).

  In each embodiment, whether or not the number of released games has been reached can be determined by whether or not the number of executions to be added by “1” for each execution of the variable game has reached the number of released games. In this case, depending on the shortening by the shortened game number lottery, the number of released games may be shortened to reduce the difference between the number of executed games and the number of released games. In this case, depending on the shortening by the shortened game number lottery, the difference between the number of executions and the number of released games can be reduced by adding the number of executions by the number of shortened games.

  In each embodiment, the shortened game number lottery may have a specification that determines the number of shortened games with a probability corresponding to the rendered state while allowing the number of released games to be shortened in all rendered states. For example, in the short game number lottery, in the BN mode, random numbers are distributed so that the number of shortened games that reduce the number of released games is larger than that in the normal mode, the preparation mode, and the ART mode. Also good. Also, in the shortened game number lottery, random numbers may be distributed so that the number of shortened games for shortening the number of released games is easily increased during BB compared to during RB even in the BN mode.

  In each embodiment, the number of stock games can be defined including a decimal point or less. For example, “0.5”, “1.2” or the like is set as the number of stock games. Note that depending on the transition to the jackpot ART, the remaining G number may be set by rounding up or down the decimal point or less. In applying this example, it is preferable that the notification method of the history notification display area H and the stock game number notification display area CT is configured in consideration of the decimal point.

  In each embodiment, a winning combination with award medal can be determined as a winning combination that triggers the transition to high-accuracy RT. In this case, it is possible to make a specification such that the award medals are paid out in the correct push order while the award medals are not paid out in the incorrect push order. For example, the occurrence of a condition that has been satisfied may be based on the occurrence of a bell prize.

-In each embodiment, the period which controls to ART mode can also be defined with time.
-In each embodiment, the advantageous game state should just be advantageous for a player, for example, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be set almost the same as other game states. In this case, in the advantageous gaming state, it is possible for the player to be advantageous if the specification allows the bell navigation effect to be performed.

In each embodiment, the configuration of the game state may be arbitrarily changed, and the types of general games having different RT performances can be increased.
