FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the control system of the slot machine 1.
As shown in FIG. 2, the control system of the slot machine 1 controls a main control circuit (game control device) 50 that controls the game in an integrated manner, and controls related to the effects of the game under the control of the main control circuit 50. And a sub-control circuit (production control device) 70 for performing the operation, and a power supply device (not shown) for supplying power to these control circuits. Each component of the control system is disposed inside the casing of the slot machine 1.

  The main control circuit 50 receives input signals from lottery means 52 for internal lottery, reel control means 54 for stop control of the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c, and switches (described later) of the operating means 60. A switch detecting means 56 for detecting and a power interruption detecting means 58 for detecting a power interruption of the slot machine 1 are provided.

  The lottery means 52 includes a random number generating means 52a for generating a random number for internal lottery, a random number detecting means 52b for sampling the random number for internal lottery based on the operation of the start lever 21, and the sampled random number for winning the internal lottery. Random number determining means 52c for determining whether or not

  The reel control means 54 refers to the corresponding stop control table based on the internal lottery result by the lottery means 52 and the stop operation timing of the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, 24c, and operates the reel motors 64a, 64b, 64c. To control. Thereby, the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c can be stopped so that a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed on the symbol display window 5.

Further, the reel control means 54 stops the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c when the symbol constituting the symbol combination mode corresponding to the internal winning prize is stopped before reaching the effective line. So-called pull-in stop control is performed to delay the timing so that the symbol is stopped and displayed on the active line.
In addition, when the stop operation is performed at the timing when the symbol combination mode corresponding to the winning that is not won internally is formed on the active line, the timing to stop the reels 6a, 6b, 6c is delayed to The so-called kicking stop control is performed so that the symbols constituting the symbol combination form that can be formed in the same manner pass the effective line.
In the pull-in stop control and kick-off stop control by the reel control means 54, the time value at which the stop timing can be changed (delayed) is determined in advance, and the stop operation is usually performed (in the case of 21 frames per reel). The time value is such that it can be drawn or kicked within a predetermined number of symbols (for example, 4 frames) from the position where it was performed.

  The switch detection means 56 includes an input signal from the stop switch 60a based on the stop operation of the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, and 24c, an input signal from the start switch 60b based on the tilting operation of the start lever 21, and a 1-bet button 16, An input signal from the bet switch 60c based on the pressing operation of the button 17 and an input signal from the settlement switch 60d based on the pressing operation of the payout button 20 are detected.

  The power interruption detection means 58 detects the power interruption of the slot machine 1 as described above, and can thereby prevent an act of illegally changing the setting of the slot machine 1.

The sub-control circuit (production control device) 70 controls the production display on the liquid crystal display device 3 based on the information (command) supplied from the game control device 50, the speaker 4, the decorative display lamp 68, and the movable An effect LED 91 for lighting the accessory device 91, the AT lamp 12 and the like, and a reel lamp (backlight) 67 for illuminating the reels 6a, 6b and 6c from the rear are controlled.
Here, the information related to the game includes bet amount information (for example, a pulse number corresponding to the bet number is output, and the bet number and the game number are output when the start lever 21 is operated and the game is started). Information to be transmitted), internal winning information indicating the lottery result by internal lottery, gaming state information indicating the current gaming state, reel stop information indicating that the reel stop button 24 corresponding to the reel 6 being displayed in a variable manner has been operated, etc. Is included.

The sub-control circuit 70 emits light from the display control means 72 for controlling the operation of the liquid crystal display device 3, the sound output control means 74 for controlling sound output from the speaker 4, the display lamp 68, the notification LED 92, the reel lamp 67, and the like. LED control means 76 to control, winning combination notification means 78 to notify the winning combination that won an internal winning, notification management means 80 to manage the AT (assist time) notification period, and stop to control the push order lamps 13a-13c Operation notification means 82.
Note that the communication between the main control circuit 50 and the sub control circuit 70 described above is configured such that a control signal can be transmitted only in one direction from the main control circuit 50 to the sub control circuit 70. An illegal signal is prevented from being input to the main control circuit 50.

Here, the progress of the game in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be briefly described.
When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player first inputs a medal from the medal insertion slot 15 or operates the 1 bet button 16 and the max bet button 17 to input a bet number (betting input).
When the betting input is performed, the active line is set, and the operation of the start lever 21 is enabled, that is, the game can be started.
When the start lever 21 is operated, an internal lottery process is performed in the lottery means 52 of the main control circuit 50, and winning / non-winning of the winning is determined, and fluctuations of the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are started.

After a predetermined time has elapsed, the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are stopped from rotating based on the operation of the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, 24c in which the stop operation is enabled, and a predetermined symbol is displayed in the symbol display window 5. . When the symbol combination mode corresponding to the internal winning winning is formed on the active line, the winning is established, and the medal corresponding to the winning is paid out.
The game of one segment is completed as described above, and thereafter, the game is advanced by repeating this operation.

FIG. 3 shows an example of an arrangement of symbols formed on a reel seal (sheet) that constitutes the outer peripheral surface of the reels 6 a, 6 b, 6 c provided in the slot machine 1.
As shown in FIG. 3, the reel seal has 7 red, 7 blue, BAR, strawberry, watermelon, cherry, replay, etc. that can be identified. Types of symbols and “blank” symbols that are not involved in winning a prize are arranged in a predetermined order.

As shown in FIG. 3, one “俵” is arranged within 5 consecutive frames in all reels 6 a, 6 b, 6 c, so that it is always stopped on the active line by the 4-frame pull-in stop control. Can be made.
In addition, since one “replay” is arranged within 5 consecutive frames on the middle reel 6b and the right reel 6c, if the stop operation (so-called forward push or pinch push) is performed from the left reel 6a, the pull-in is stopped. It can always be stopped and displayed on the active line by control.
On the other hand, since the other winnings are composed of symbols that are not necessarily arranged within five consecutive frames, there are cases where the winning display cannot be stopped on the active line even if the pull-in stop control of four frames is performed. In other words, in order to stop and display these symbols on the active line, it is necessary to stop the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, and 24c (press the target) aiming at the desired symbols.

FIG. 4 shows the types of winning in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the symbol combination mode corresponding to each winning, and the winning contents.
In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, a hyper bonus prize (HB prize), a middle bonus prize (MB prize), a chance bonus 1 prize (CB1 prize) and a chance bonus 2 prize (CB2 prize) are defined as special prizes. .
Note that if the special winning is won internally, the winning flag is carried over to the next game and the special winning can be established in subsequent games even if the special winning can not be established in the internally won game.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a cherry prize, a watermelon prize, a chance prize prize, a winning prize, and a replay (replay 1 to 4) prize are defined as small prizes.
When a small winning combination is won internally, the small winning combination can be established only in the internally winning game. For example, when a small role winning (for example, watermelon winning) cannot be established due to the timing of the stop operation (so-called missing), the winning flag for this small role winning is cleared and is not carried over to the next game.

As shown in FIG. 4, when an HB (hyper bonus) winning is established when the bonus symbol combination mode of “red 7-red 7-red 7” is formed on the active line, a bonus as a special gaming state is established. A gaming state occurs. The number of medals paid out for the HB winning is 0.
In the bonus gaming state based on the HB winning, for example, a game is executed using a determination table in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal gaming state. The game ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the bonus game state exceeds 314.
In the bonus game state, a JAC game (a game in which the internal winning probability of a predetermined winning combination becomes high probability when a JAC in winning is established) is repeatedly executed until the total number of medals to be paid out reaches a specified number. Alternatively, the JAC game may be executed in combination with a game having a high internal winning probability of the small role winning.

On the other hand, when an MB (middle bonus) winning is established when the bonus symbol combination mode of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is formed on the active line, a bonus gaming state as a special gaming state occurs. . The number of medals paid out for the MB winning is 0.
In the bonus game state based on the MB winning, the same control as in the HB winning is performed. The game ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the bonus game state exceeds 240.

The CB1 (chance bonus 1) prize is a prize that is established when a bonus symbol combination mode of “red 7-red 7-blue 7” is formed on the active line.
When the CB1 winning is established, a bonus gaming state as a special gaming state is generated. The payout of medals associated with the establishment of the CB1 prize is zero.
In the bonus gaming state based on the CB1 winning, for example, a game is executed using a determination table in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal gaming state. Then, the game ends when the game of 8 games ends.

The CB2 (chance bonus 2) prize is a prize that is established when a bonus symbol combination mode of “blue 7-blue 7-red 7” is formed on the active line.
When the CB2 winning is established, a bonus state as a special gaming state is generated. The number of medals paid out when the CB2 winning is established is zero.
In the bonus gaming state based on the CB2 winning, a game using a determination table in which the internal winning probability of the small role winning is higher than that in the normal gaming state is executed as in the case of the CB1 winning. Then, the game ends when the game of 8 games ends.

  The cherry winning is a winning that is established when the symbol combination mode of “cherry-ANY-ANY” is formed on the active line, and two medals are obtained in the normal gaming state or the special gaming state for one active line. To be paid out. Here, “ANY” indicates that any symbol may be used. In the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 3, there are places where “cherry” is separated by 6 frames or more, so even if the cherry winning is won internally, the cherry winning may be missed if the pressing operation is not performed.

  The watermelon prize is a prize that is established when the symbol combination mode of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is formed on the active line, and five medals are awarded for one active line in the normal gaming state or the special gaming state. To be paid out. In the symbol arrangement shown in FIG. 3, there are places where “watermelon” is separated by 6 frames or more. Therefore, even if the watermelon winning is won internally, the watermelon winning may be missed if the pushing operation is not performed.

  The chance combination prize is a prize that is established when the symbol combination mode of “blue 7- 俵 -red 7” is formed on the active line, and one prize line in the normal gaming state or the special gaming state with respect to one active line. Medals will be paid out.

  The winning prize is a prize that is established when the symbol combination mode of “俵-俵-俵” is formed on the active line, and 12 medals are obtained in the normal gaming state or the special gaming state for one active line. To be paid out.

  For replay winning, the replay 1 winning that is established when the symbol combination mode of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is formed on the active line, and the symbol combination mode of “Replay-Replay- 俵” is formed on the active line Replay 2 winning that is established when the game is performed, Replay 3 winning that is achieved when the symbol combination mode “俵 -Cherry-Replay” is formed on the active line, and “Bar-Bar-Bar” symbol combination mode And a replay 4 win that is established when the game is formed on the active line, and a replay game (replay game) that allows the game to be executed without any betting operation is awarded. The number of medals paid out is zero.

The Replay 2 winning is always an internal winning in duplicate with the Replay 1 winning (normal replay) or the Replay 3 winning (promotion replay; described later).
Replay 3 wins are always internally won in duplicate with Replay 2 wins (falling replays; see below).
Replay 4 winning is established only in the HB state or the MB state.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the same game, the special winning and the small winning combination can be won internally. In the case of overlapping internal winnings, the priority order of winnings derived on the active line is, for example, replay winning> small winning other than replay winning> special winning. The same applies to a case where a small winning prize is won internally in a game after winning an internal winning special prize.

  When any of the above winnings is won internally by the internal lottery in the main control circuit 50, the symbol combination mode corresponding to the winning of the internal winning can be derived on the active line. On the other hand, if any winning is not won internally, the winning combination is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning is not formed on the active line.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the distribution of winning flags that can be established in each gaming state.
As shown in FIG. 5A, in the normal states (A) and (B), an HB (hyper bonus) flag, an MB (middle bonus) flag, a CB (chance bonus) 1 flag, and a CB (chance bonus) 2 flag. , Port flag, middle flag, starboard flag, watermelon + HB flag, watermelon flag, cherry + HB flag, cherry flag, chance combination flag, replay 1 flag (normal replay flag; described later), replay 1 + 2 flag (6-option replay flag) Any of the loss flags can be established.
Here, the port flag is a flag in which the reel 6a, 6b, 6c to be stopped first (in the correct pressing order) is the left reel 6a. Similarly, the intermediate flag is a flag in which the reel 6a, 6b, 6c to be stopped first (in the correct pressing order) is the intermediate reel 6b. The starboard flag is a flag in which the reel (the correct answer pressing order) to be stopped first among the reels 6a, 6b, 6c is the right reel 6c.
The watermelon + HB flag is a flag that is established when the watermelon combination and the HB combination are won simultaneously. The cherry + HB flag is a flag that is established when the cherry combination and the HB combination are won simultaneously.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, in the RT (replay time) 1 state, in addition to the flags that can be established in the normal states (A) and (B), a replay 2 + 3 flag (3-option replay flag; described later) It can be established. In the RT1 state, the distribution ratio of the replay 1 flag is smaller than that in the normal states (A) and (B) by the amount that the replay 2 + 3 flag is distributed.

As shown in FIG. 5C, in the RT (replay time) 2 state, the HB flag, MB flag, CB1 flag, CB2 flag, port flag, middle flag, starboard flag, watermelon + HB flag, watermelon flag, Any of a cherry + HB flag, a cherry flag, a chance combination flag, a replay 1 flag (normal replay flag; described later), and a lose flag can be established.
Further, in the RT2 state, the distribution ratio of the loss flag is small and the distribution ratio of the replay 1 flag is large compared to the normal states (A), (B) and the RT1 state.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (d), in the bonus internal winning state, the replay 1 flag, the portside flag, the middle flag, the starboard flag, the watermelon + HB flag, the watermelon flag, the cherry + HB flag, the cherry flag, the chance combination flag, Any of the lost flags can be established.

As shown in FIG. 5 (e), in the bonus game state based on the HB winning or MB winning, any of the bag flag, watermelon flag, cherry flag, chance combination flag, and replay 4 flag can be established. .
Here, unlike the port flag or the like, the wrinkle flag is a flag that does not matter in the pressing order.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (f), in the bonus game state based on the CB1 winning or the CB2 winning, any one of a bag flag, a watermelon flag, a cherry flag, and a chance combination flag can be established. Unlike the bonus game state based on MB winning, the replay 4 flag is not established. That is, the replay 4 flag can be established only in a bonus gaming state based on HB winning or MB winning.

FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining symbol combination forms formed in a game in which the starboard flag, the middle flag, and the port flag are established in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment. .
As shown in FIG. 6A, in the game in which any one of the starboard flag, the middle flag, and the port flag is established, when the first stop reel is correct among the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c. , “俵-俵-俵” symbol combination is formed on the effective line.
On the other hand, when the first stop reel is not correct, the symbol combination mode of “俵-俵-俵” is not formed on the effective line, and three-choice spills are generated. At this time, the medal cannot be paid out.
For example, when the first stop reel is the right reel 6c (when the starboard flag is established), when the reel is stopped from the left reel 6a or the middle reel 6b, as shown in FIG. “俵” is formed in the upper stage of the left reel 6a, and “俵” is formed in the middle stages of the middle reel 6b and the right reel 6c.
Further, when the first stop reel is the middle reel 6b (when the intermediate flag is established), when the reel is stopped from the left reel 6a or the right reel 6c, as shown in FIG. 6 (b-2), “俵” is formed on the upper stage of the left reel 6a and the middle reel 6b, and “俵” is formed on the lower stage of the right reel 6a.
Further, when the first reel is the left reel 6a (when the port flag is established), when the reel is stopped from the middle reel 6b or the right reel 6c, as shown in FIG. 6 (b-3), “俵” is formed in the middle stage of the left reel 6a and the middle reel 6b, and “俵” is formed in the lower stage of the right reel 6a.

FIGS. 6C to 6E are diagrams for explaining symbol combination forms formed in the game in which the replay flag is established in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment.
The replay flag includes a normal replay flag that can generate a replay 1 win (replay regardless of push order), a 3 option replay flag that can generate either a replay 2 win or a replay 3 win, and a replay 1 win or replay. There is a 6-option replay flag that can generate either of 2 winnings.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (c), in the game in which the normal replay flag is established, the symbol combination of “replay-replay-replay” is used regardless of where the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are stopped (regardless of the stop order). The aspect is formed on the effective line.

As shown in FIG. 6D, in the game in which the 3-option replay flag is established, if the first stop reel is correct among the reels 6a, 6b, 6c (for example, the right reel 6c), the replay 3 win The symbol combination aspect of “俵 -cherry-replay” is formed on the effective line.
On the other hand, if the first stop reel is incorrect among the reels 6a, 6b, 6c, the symbol combination form of “Replay-Replay- 俵”, which is a Replay 2 win, is formed on the effective line. Yes.

As shown in FIG. 6E, in the game in which the 6-option replay flag is established, if the stop order of the reels 6a, 6b, 6c is correct (for example, right → left → middle), a replay 1 win is awarded. A certain “replay-replay-replay” symbol combination form is formed on the active line.
On the other hand, when the stopping order of the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c is not correct, a symbol combination mode of “Replay-Replay- 俵”, which is a Replay 2 winning, is formed on the effective line.

FIG. 7 is a state transition diagram for explaining the gaming state in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment.
In the slot machine 1, it is assumed that the game is started in the normal state (A) ST11 immediately after the power is turned on.

When a predetermined number of games are consumed in the normal state (A) ST11, the process proceeds to the normal state (B) ST12.
Further, when a three-choice spill occurs in the normal state (B) ST12, the process shifts to the RT (replay time) 1 state ST13.
On the other hand, if a fall replay (replay 2) win occurs in the normal state (B) ST12, the process proceeds to the normal state (A) ST11.
Further, when a promotion replay (replay 3) winning occurs in the RT1 state ST13, the process proceeds to the RT2 state ST14.
On the other hand, when a fall replay (replay 2) winning occurs in the RT1 state ST13, the state shifts to the normal state (A).
Further, when a three-choice spill occurs in the RT2 state ST14, the process proceeds to the RT1 state ST13.

Normally, the transition between the normal state (A) ST11, the normal state (B) ST12, and the RT1 state ST13 is repeatedly performed.
Further, when the player is in the normal state (A) ST11 or the normal state (B) ST12, it cannot be distinguished from the player's point of view.

  In any one of the above-mentioned normal state (A) ST11, normal state (B) ST12, RT1 state ST13, RT2 state ST14, it is internal to any of the special winning HB winning, MB winning, CB1 winning, CB2 winning. When winning, the process proceeds to the bonus internal winning (RT3) state ST15.

  In the bonus internal winning (RT3) state ST15, when a symbol combination mode corresponding to the internally won bonus flag is derived and a bonus winning is established, the process proceeds to a bonus gaming state ST16.

When a predetermined bonus game state end condition is satisfied in the bonus game state ST16, the process proceeds to the post-bonus (general game) state ST17.
After the bonus ends (general game) state ST17, if a three-choice spill occurs, the process proceeds to RT1 state ST13.
On the other hand, after the bonus ends (general game) state ST17, if a fall replay (replay 2) win occurs, the process proceeds to the normal state (A) ST11.

  Next, processing performed by the main control circuit 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Main processing]
First, the main process will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the main process.
When the main control circuit 50 is powered on, the main process is started by reading the main process control program and executing the program.

  When the main processing is started, first, medal acceptance start operation acceptance processing relating to acceptance of medal insertion and acceptance of the start switch 60b is executed (step S1). The details of the medal acceptance start operation acceptance process will be described later.

  Next, when the switch detection unit 56 detects an input signal from the start switch 60b, the random number detection unit 52b extracts a random value and stores the random value in a random value storage area (not shown). Execute (Step S2).

  Next, the random number determination means 52c executes a symbol internal lottery process for referring to the random number stored in the random number value storage area and the lottery table corresponding to the gaming state to determine the winning combination won internally (step S3). ). Details of the symbol internal lottery process will be described later.

  Next, the reel control means 54 controls the reel motors 64a, 64b, 64c to execute a reel rotation process for rotating the reels 6a, 6b, 6c (step S4). Details of the reel rotation process will be described later.

  Next, a reel stop process for determining whether or not all reels have been stopped is executed in accordance with the symbol stop table in accordance with the internal winning combination (step S5). Details of the reel stop process will be described later.

  Next, it is determined whether a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination is displayed on the active line, and a winning determination process for transmitting the result of the winning determination to the sub-control circuit 70 is executed (step S6). Details of the winning determination process will be described later.

  Next, a payout process for paying out medals according to the winning is executed (step S7), and the process returns to step S1.

[Medal reception start operation reception processing]
Next, the medal acceptance start operation acceptance process will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the medal reception start operation reception process.

When the medal acceptance start operation acceptance process is started, it is first determined whether or not a re-game flag (replay flag) is established (step S11).
If it is determined in step S11 that the re-game flag has not been established (step S11; No), whether or not a bonus game based on establishment of a CB (chance bonus) 1 or CB (chance bonus) 2 winning is in progress. Is determined (step S12).

If it is determined in step S12 that the bonus game based on the establishment of the CB1 or CB2 winning is not in progress (step S12; No), “3” is set as the maximum value in the insertion counter for counting the number of inserted medals ( Step S13) and the process proceeds to step S15.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S12 that the bonus game is based on the establishment of the CB1 or CB2 winning (step S12; Yes), “2” is set as the maximum value in the insertion counter (step S14). The process proceeds to step S15.
Here, during the bonus game based on the establishment of the CB1 or CB2 winning, the maximum value is set to “2” in the insertion counter because the prescribed number used for one game is set during the bonus game based on the establishment of the CB1 or CB2 winning. This is because it is set to two.

Next, in step S15, it is determined whether or not passage of a medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 15 is detected (step S15).
If it is determined in step S15 that passage of a medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 15 has been detected (step S15; Yes), it is determined whether or not the insertion counter at this time has reached the maximum value (step S15). S16).

If it is determined in step S16 that the insertion counter has reached the maximum value (step S16; Yes), 1 is added to the credit counter (step S17), and the process proceeds to step S19.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S16 that the insertion counter has not reached the maximum value (step S16; No), 1 is added to the insertion counter (step S18), and the process proceeds to step S19.

  If it is determined in step S15 that the medal insertion port 15 does not detect the passage of a medal (step S15; No), the process proceeds to step S19.

Next, in step S19, the input signal from the bet switch 60c is checked by the switch detection means 56 (step S19).
Here, when an input signal from the bet switch 60c is detected, the switch type (1 bet or max bet) is specified, and the insertion counter and the credit counter are updated.

Next, in step S20, it is determined whether or not the value of the input counter is the maximum input value (step S20).
When it is determined in step S20 that the value of the making counter is the making maximum value (step S20; Yes), the switch detection means 56 checks the input signal from the start switch 60b (step S21).
If an input signal is detected from the start switch 60b in step S21 (step S21; Yes), insertion of medals from the medal insertion slot 15 is prohibited (step S22), and the medal acceptance start operation acceptance process is terminated. .
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S20 that the value of the input counter is not the maximum input value (step S20; No), or when no input signal is detected from the start switch 60b in step S21 (step S21; No). Return to step S15.

  If it is determined in step S11 that the replay flag (replay flag) is established (step S11; Yes), the bet number of the previous game is reset (step S23), and the medal slot is set. 15 is prohibited (step S24), the re-game flag is turned off (step S25), the process proceeds to step S21, and the subsequent processing is performed.

[Internal design lottery]
Next, the symbol internal lottery process will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the symbol internal lottery process.

When the symbol internal lottery process is started, first, the switch detection means 56 checks the input signal from the start switch 60b (step S31).
If an input signal from the start switch 60b is detected (received) in step S31 (step S31; Yes), it is determined whether or not a bonus game is being played (step S32).
On the other hand, when the input signal from the start switch 60b is not detected (received) (step S31; No), the determination process of step S31 is repeatedly executed.

Next, when it is determined in step S32 that the bonus game is being played (step S32; Yes), a winning combination determination table corresponding to the bonus game state is prepared (step S33), and the process proceeds to step S41.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S32 that the bonus game is not being played (step S32; No), it is determined whether the bonus flag is being established, that is, whether the bonus winning combination is being won internally (step S34).

If it is determined in step S34 that the bonus flag is being established (step S34; Yes), a winning combination determination table corresponding to the bonus flag being established is prepared (step S35), and the process proceeds to step S41.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S34 that the bonus flag is not established (step S34; No), it is determined whether RT (replay time) 2 is in progress (step S36).

If it is determined in step S36 that RT2 is in progress (step S36; Yes), a winning combination determination table corresponding to the RT2 state is prepared (step S37), and the process proceeds to step S41.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S36 that RT2 is not in progress (step S36; No), it is determined whether RT (replay time) 1 is in progress (step S38).

If it is determined in step S38 that it is in RT1 (step S38; Yes), a winning combination determination table corresponding to the RT1 state is prepared (step S39), and the process proceeds to step S41.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S38 that it is not in RT1 (step S38; No), a winning combination determination table corresponding to the normal gaming state is prepared (step S40), and the process proceeds to step S41.

  Next, in step S41, the random value stored in the random value storage area (RAM) is read out and compared with the prepared winning combination determination table (step S41).

Next, it is determined whether or not the small combination (cherry combination, watermelon combination, winning combination, etc.) is won internally (step S42).
If it is determined in step S42 that the small combination is won internally (step S42; Yes), the winning small combination flag is set (step S43), and the process proceeds to step S50.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S42 that the small winning combination is not internally won (step S42; No), it is determined whether or not the replay winning combination is internally won (step S44).

When it is determined in step S44 that the replay combination is won internally (step S44; Yes), the selected replay flag (regame flag) is set (step S45), and the process proceeds to step S50.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S44 that the replay combination is not internally won (step S44; No), it is determined whether the bonus combination flag is being carried over (step S46).

If it is determined in step S46 that the bonus combination flag is not carried over (step S46; No), it is determined whether or not the bonus combination is won internally (step S47).
If it is determined in step S47 that the bonus combination is won internally (step S47; Yes), the winning bonus flag is set (step S48), and the process proceeds to step S50.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S46 that the bonus combination flag is being carried over (step S46; Yes), or if it is determined in step S47 that the bonus combination is not internally won (step S47; No) sets a lose flag (step S49), and proceeds to step S50.

Next, in step S50, a freeze setting process (step S50) relating to a so-called freeze effect that becomes invalid even if the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, and 24c are pressed is executed. Details of the freeze setting process will be described later.
Next, the winning winning combination is stored in the RAM (not shown) of the main control circuit 50 (step S51), the winning result information is transmitted to the sub control circuit 70 (step S52), and the symbol internal lottery process is terminated.

[Freeze setting process]
Next, the freeze setting process will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the freeze setting process.

When the freeze setting process is started, first, a freeze execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the freeze effect is performed (step S61), and whether or not the lottery result is a freeze execution winning for executing the freeze effect is determined. Determination is made (step S62).
Here, the freeze effect is an effect in which each reel 6a, 6b, 6c rotates in the reverse direction (rotation from bottom to top), and the reel stop button 24a, Even if 24b and 24c are pressed, it becomes invalid.

If it is determined in step S62 that the lottery result is the freeze execution winning (step S62; Yes), the effect time and effect pattern of the freeze effect selected as the freeze information regarding the effect contents of the freeze effect are set (step In step S63, the freeze information is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 (step S65), and the freeze setting process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S62 that the lottery result is not the freeze execution winning (step S62; No), the freeze time value is set to “0” as the freeze information (step S64), and the freeze information is set. This is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 (step S65), and the freeze setting process is terminated.

[Reel rotation processing]
Next, the reel rotation process will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the reel rotation process.

When the reel rotation process is started, first, a wait monitoring timer value is acquired (step S71).
Next, it is determined whether or not the wait monitoring timer value is “0” (step S72).

If it is determined in step S72 that the wait monitoring timer value is not “0” (step S72; No), the process returns to step S71.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S72 that the wait monitoring timer value is “0” (step S72; Yes), the freeze information set in the above-described freeze setting process is read (step S73).

Next, a freeze monitoring timer value is acquired (step S74).
Next, it is determined whether or not the freeze time is “0”, that is, whether or not the freeze monitoring timer value is “0” (step S75).

If it is determined in step S75 that the freeze time is not “0” (step S75; No), the process returns to step S74.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S75 that the freeze time is “0” (step S75; Yes), a wait monitoring timer value (eg, 4.1S) is reset (step S76), and the reels 6a, 6a, The rotation of 6b, 6c is started (step S77).

Next, it is determined whether or not all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c have started to rotate at a predetermined speed (step S78).
If it is determined in step S78 that all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c have started to rotate at a predetermined speed (step S78; Yes), the reel rotation processing ends.
On the other hand, when it is determined that all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c have not started rotating at a predetermined speed (step S78; No), the process of step S78 is repeatedly executed.
Here, whether or not all the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c have started rotating at a predetermined speed is determined by determining that all the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c can be stopped. Because.

[Reel stop processing]
Next, the reel stop process will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the reel stop process.

When the reel stop process is started, first, it is determined whether or not the switch detection means 56 detects (receives) an input signal (stop button signal) from the stop switch 60c (step S81).
If it is determined in step S81 that the input signal from the stop switch 60c is not detected (received) (step S81; No), the process of step S81 is repeatedly executed.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S81 that the input signal from the stop switch 60c has been detected (received) (step S81; Yes), the symbol combination process for determining the symbol stop position of each reel 6a, 6b, 6c. (Step S82) is executed.
Specifically, in accordance with a predetermined symbol stop table, the symbols on the reels 6a, 6b, and 6c are stopped according to the internal winning combination and the bonus combination flag when the bonus combination flag is being carried over. Determine the location.

  Next, the information of the reels 6a, 6b, 6c stopped is transmitted to the sub control circuit 70 (step S83). Thereby, for example, when the first designated reel 6a is stopped during AT, the stop information of the first reel 6a is transmitted to the sub control circuit 70, and the sub control circuit 70 receives the next reel ( For example, the instruction information regarding the stop of the third reel 6c) can be displayed on the push order lamps 13a to 13c and the liquid crystal display device 3.

Next, it is determined whether or not all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are stopped (step S84).
If it is determined in step S84 that all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are not stopped (step S84; No), the process returns to step S81.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S84 that all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are stopped (step S84; Yes), the reel control information indicating that all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are stopped is sent to the sub-control circuit. 70 (step S85), and the reel stop process is terminated.

[Winning determination process]
Next, the winning determination process will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the winning determination process.

When the winning determination process is started, it is first determined whether or not the gaming state is a bonus game (step S91).
If it is determined in step S91 that the gaming state is a bonus game (step S91; Yes), a bonus game process (step S92) is executed, and the winning determination process is terminated. Details of the bonus game process will be described later.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S91 that the gaming state is not in the bonus game (step S91; No), it is determined whether or not there is a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination on the active line at this time (step S93). ).

  When it is determined in step S93 that there is a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination on the active line (step S93; Yes), a winning symbol determination process for determining which winning combination the symbol combination corresponds to (Step S94) is performed, and it is first determined whether or not it corresponds to the replay winning combination (Step S95).

If it is determined in step S95 that the game corresponds to a replay winning combination (step S95; Yes), a replay flag (replay flag) is set to ON (step S96).
Next, it is determined whether or not the replay winning combination is a promoted replay winning combination (replay 3 winning combination) (step S97).

If it is determined in step S97 that the replay winning combination is a promoted replay winning combination (step S97; Yes), the gaming state is set to “RT (replay time) 2 state” (step S98), and the process proceeds to step S107. Transition.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S97 that the replay winning combination is not the promoted replay winning combination (step S97; No), it is determined whether or not the replay winning combination is a fall replay winning combination (replay 2 winning combination). Determination is made (step S99).

When it is determined in step S99 that the replay winning combination is a fall replay winning combination (step S99; Yes), the gaming state is set to “normal state (A)” (step S100), and the process proceeds to step S107. .
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S99 that the replay winning combination is not a fall replay winning combination (step S99; No), that is, when it is determined that it is a normal replay winning combination (replay 1 winning combination), the gaming state The process proceeds to step S107 without changing.

If it is determined in step S95 that it does not correspond to the replay winning combination (step S95; No), it is determined whether or not it corresponds to the small winning combination (step S101).
If it is determined in step S101 that the game corresponds to a small role winning combination (step S101; Yes), a payout number count update process for setting the number of paid out medals corresponding to the small role winning combination (step S102). ) And the process proceeds to step S107.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S101 that it does not correspond to the small winning combination (step S101; No), that is, if it is determined that it corresponds to the bonus winning combination, it corresponds to the bonus winning combination. The bonus flag to be set is set to OFF (step S103). Then, the game state is set to the “bonus game state” corresponding to the bonus winning combination (step S104), and the process proceeds to step S107.

If it is determined in step S93 that there is no symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination on the active line (step S93; No), whether or not there is a symbol combination corresponding to the three-choice spilled pattern on the active line. Is determined (step S105).
If it is determined in step S105 that there is a symbol combination corresponding to the third choice spill on the active line (step S105; Yes), the gaming state is set to “RT (replay time) 1 state”, and step S107 is performed. Migrate to
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S105 that there is no symbol combination corresponding to the third choice spill on the active line (step S105; No), the process proceeds to step S107 without changing the gaming state.

  Next, in step S107, symbol information relating to the established symbol combination is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 (step S107), and the flag set in the symbol internal lottery process (see FIG. 10) is set to OFF ( Step S108), the winning determination process is terminated.

[Bonus Game Processing]
Next, bonus game processing will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the bonus game process.

When the bonus game process is started, first, a winning symbol determination process (step S111) for determining which winning combination corresponds to the symbol combination mode on the active line is performed. It is determined whether it is a thing (step S112).
If it is determined in step S112 that it corresponds to a small role winning combination (step S112; Yes), a payout number count update process for setting a payout number of medals corresponding to the small role winning combination (step S113). ) And the process proceeds to step S116.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S112 that it does not correspond to the small winning combination (step S112; No), it is determined whether or not it corresponds to the replay winning combination (step S114).

If it is determined in step S114 that it corresponds to the replay winning combination (step S114; Yes), the re-game flag (replay flag) is set to ON (step S115), and the process proceeds to step S116.
On the other hand, when it determines with not corresponding to a replay winning combination in step S114 (step S114; No), it transfers to step S116.

  Next, in step S116, symbol information relating to the established symbol combination is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 (step S116), and the flag set in the symbol internal lottery process (see FIG. 10) is set to OFF ( Step S117) and the process proceeds to Step S118.

Next, in step S118, it is determined whether or not the bonus game state termination condition has been achieved (step S118).
If it is determined in step S118 that the bonus game state end condition has been achieved (step S118; Yes), a bonus game end process (step S119) for ending the bonus game state is executed, and the game state is changed to general game. Transition to a state (normal state (A) or RT1 state). Next, bonus end information is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 70 (step S120), and the bonus game process is ended.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S118 that the bonus game state termination condition has not been achieved (step S118; No), the bonus game process is terminated.

[Sub-main processing]
Next, processing performed by the sub control circuit 70 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the sub-main process will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the sub-main process.

When the sub-main process is started, first, it is determined whether or not the winning result information transmitted by the main control circuit 50 has been received (step S201).
If it is determined in step S201 that the winning result information has not been received (step S201; No), the process of step S201 is repeatedly executed.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S201 that the winning result information has been received (step S201; Yes), the received winning result information is stored in the RAM (not shown) of the sub-control circuit 70 (step S202).

Next, AT lottery processing (step S203) for determining whether or not to execute AT (assist time) is executed. Details of the AT lottery process will be described later.
Next, it is determined whether or not there is a pressing order flag indicating the pressing order of the reel stop buttons 24a, 24b, and 24c (step S204).

If it is determined in step S204 that there is a push order flag (step S204; Yes), an AT notification process (step S205) is executed, and the sub-main process ends. Details of the AT notification process will be described later.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S204 that there is no push order flag (step S204; No), the sub-main process is terminated.

[AT lottery processing]
Next, the AT lottery process will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the AT lottery process.

When the AT lottery process is started, it is first determined whether or not the gaming state is a bonus game (step S211).
If it is determined in step S211 that the gaming state is a bonus game (step S211; Yes), the bonus table lottery for performing the AT lottery using the AT lottery table (see FIG. 20 (f)) in the bonus. The process (step S212) is executed.
Next, the number of AT notification remaining games is updated according to the lottery result (step S225), and the AT lottery process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S211 that the gaming state is not in a bonus game (step S211; No), it is determined whether or not a bonus flag is established (step S213).
If it is determined in step S213 that the bonus flag is being established (step S213; Yes), it is determined whether or not it is after the bonus winning game (step S214).
If it is determined in step S214 that the game is not after a bonus winning game (step S214; No), a bonus is established for performing an AT lottery using an AT lottery table (see FIG. 20E) after the bonus flag is established. A rear table lottery process (step S215) is executed.
Next, the number of AT notification remaining games is updated according to the lottery result (step S225), and the AT lottery process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S214 that it is after the bonus winning game (step S214; Yes), the process proceeds to step S225, and AT lottery is not performed at this time, so the number of AT notification remaining games is updated. First, the AT lottery process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S213 that the bonus flag is not established (step S213; No), it is determined whether or not RT (replay time) 2 is in progress (step S216).
If it is determined in step S216 that RT2 is being performed (step S216; Yes), a continuous loss effect determination process (step S217) is executed.
Next, a table lottery process during RT2 (step S218) for performing AT lottery using the AT lottery table during RT2 (see FIG. 20D) is executed.
Next, the number of AT notification remaining games is updated according to the lottery result (step S225), and the AT lottery process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S216 that RT2 is not in progress (step S216; No), it is determined whether RT (replay time) 1 is in progress (step S219).
If it is determined in step S219 that RT1 is being performed (step S219; Yes), a continuous loss effect determination process (step S220) is executed.
Next, a table lottery process during RT1 (step S221) for performing AT lottery using the AT lottery table during RT1 (see FIG. 20C) is executed.
Next, the number of AT notification remaining games is updated according to the lottery result (step S225), and the AT lottery process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S219 that RT1 is not being performed (step S219; No), a lost continuous effect determination process (step S222) is executed.
Next, an internal state determination process (step S223) for determining the gaming state at this time is executed, and the AT lottery table in the normal state (FIG. 20 (a), ( b)), the normal state table lottery process (step S224) is performed.
Next, the number of AT notification remaining games is updated according to the lottery result (step S225), and the AT lottery process is terminated.

[Loss Continuous Production Judgment Processing]
Next, the losing continuous effect determination process will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the continuous loss effect determination process.

When the losing continuous effect determination process is started, first, it is determined whether or not the losing continuous effect is being executed (step S231).
If it is determined in step S231 that the lost continuous effect is being executed (step S231; Yes), it is determined whether or not the continuous effect 1 is being executed among the lost continuous effects (step S232).

If it is determined in step S232 that the continuous effect 1 is being executed (step S232; Yes), a table lottery during the continuous effect 1 (see FIG. 26A) is performed (step S233), and the continuous loss effect determination is performed. The process ends.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S232 that the continuous effect 1 is not being executed (step S232; No), a table lottery during the continuous effect 2 (see FIG. 26B) is performed (step S234), and the continuous loss effect is obtained. The determination process ends.

  If it is determined in step S231 that the continuous loss production effect is not being executed (step S231; No), the continuous loss production determination process is terminated.

[AT notification processing]
Next, AT notification processing will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the AT notification process.

When the AT notification process is started, first, the correct pressing order of information corresponding to the winning result is determined (step S241).
Next, it is determined whether or not a bonus winning is being announced (step S242).
If it is determined in step S242 that the bonus winning is being announced (step S242; Yes), it is determined whether or not a 3-option flag is established (step S243).

If it is determined in step S243 that the three-option flag has been established (step S243; Yes), the correct answer pressing order is notified (step S244), and the AT notification process is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S243 that the 3-option flag is not established (step S243; No), the AT notification process is terminated.

If it is determined in step S242 that the bonus winning is not announced (step S242; No), it is determined whether RT1 or RT2 is in progress (step S245).
If it is determined in step S245 that it is in RT1 or RT2 (step S245; Yes), the AT notification remaining game number is read (step S246), and whether or not the AT notification remaining game number is a value greater than zero. Is determined (step S247).

  If it is determined in step S247 that the number of remaining AT notification games is greater than 0 (step S247; Yes), the correct answer pressing order is notified (step S248), and the AT notification remaining game number is decremented by one. (Step S249), the AT notification process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S245 that neither RT1 nor RT2 is in progress (step S245; No), or if it is determined in step S247 that the number of remaining AT notification games is not greater than 0 (step S247; No). ) Ends the AT notification process.

FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining an AT lottery table used in the AT lottery process (see FIG. 17).
As shown in FIGS. 20A to 20G, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, an AT lottery table corresponding to each gaming state is set.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20A, when the probability state is the low probability state in the normal states (A) and (B), the normal time (low probability) table is set. Yes.
As shown in FIG. 20B, when the probability state is a high probability state in the normal states (A) and (B), a normal time (high probability) table is set.

Also, as shown in FIG. 20 (c), in the RT (replay time) 1 state, the RT1 table is set.
Also, as shown in FIG. 20 (d), the RT2 table is set in the RT (replay time) 2 state.

Also, as shown in FIG. 20 (e), in the bonus internal winning state, a post-bonus establishment table is set.
Further, as shown in FIG. 20 (f), in the bonus game state, a bonus medium table is set.
Also, as shown in FIG. 20 (g), a post-bonus end table is set in the post-bonus end state.

FIG. 21 is a table for selecting the number of AT notification remaining games for performing AT notification when an AT lottery is won.
As shown in FIGS. 21A to 21F, the game number selection table includes six game number selection tables A to F.
The game number selection tables A to F are stored in association with the winning combination of the above-described AT lottery table.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the transition rate of the internal probability (low probability, high probability) in the normal states (A) and (B). Here, the internal probability means a probability that the bonus combination is won internally.

FIG. 22A is a diagram showing a transition rate when the internal probability shifts from a low probability to a high probability in the normal states (A) and (B).
As shown in FIG. 22 (a), when the internal probability is low, for example, when the cherry role is won internally, 10%, when the watermelon role is won internally, 50%, the chance role is won internally. In this case, the state is shifted to a high probability state with a probability of 50%.

FIG. 22B is a diagram illustrating a transition rate when the internal probability shifts from a high probability to a low probability in the normal states (A) and (B).
As shown in FIG. 22B, when the internal probability is high, for example, when the winning combination is won internally, the probability is 5%, and when the replay winning is won internally, the probability is low with a probability of 10%. It is supposed to migrate.

Next, the AT lottery processing method will be described as an example when the normal time (low probability) table shown in FIG. 20A is set.
As shown in FIG. 20 (a), when the normal time (low probability) table is set, that is, when the gaming state is the low probability normal state (A) or (B), for example, the watermelon role is internal. If you win, you will win the AT lottery with a 5% win rate.
When the AT lottery is won, the number-of-games selection table A shown in FIG. 21A is referred to and the number of remaining AT notification games for performing AT notification is selected.
Specifically, the game number “10” is selected at a rate of 15%, the game number “20” is 15%, the game number “30” is 50%, and the game number “50” is selected at a rate of 20%. Yes.
In this example, after the AT lottery process, the internal probability transition lottery is performed, and the transition from the low probability state to the high probability state is possible with a probability of 50% (see FIG. 22A).

Next, the change timing of the AT lottery table (for example, the table after bonus establishment) referred to during the AT lottery process will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 23, when the bonus combination is won internally, a bonus flag is established. At this time, in the AT lottery process (see FIG. 17), it is determined that a bonus flag is being established (step S213; Yes), and a bonus winning game has not yet occurred (step S214; No). AT lottery is performed with reference to the subsequent table (step S215).
Thereafter, when the player is informed of the establishment of the bonus flag and a bonus winning game that can form the bonus symbol combination mode on the active line is generated (step S214; Yes), the AT lottery is not performed.
After that, when the bonus symbol combination mode is formed on the active line and a bonus winning occurs, the bonus game state is set (step S211; Yes), and AT lottery is performed with reference to the bonus table (step S212).

Next, details of the losing continuous effect executed in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
Here, the losing continuous effect refers to an effect performed over a plurality of games (for example, 5 games) in which the game result is lost.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), when a watermelon combination is established in the RT2 state (T1), a notification display that the watermelon combination is established is displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 3a. At this time, when the execution of the lost continuous production is determined with the formation of the watermelon role, as shown in FIGS. 24B to 24F, the main character and the main character are used until five games are consumed from the next game. The main liquid crystal display device 3a performs the continuous loss effect of the content in which the enemy character battles.

FIG.24 (b) has shown the effect content when the 1st game is performed among the games in which a losing continuous effect is performed (T2).
As shown in FIG. 24B, at this time, an effect in which the main character and the enemy character battle each other is started.
FIG.24 (c) has shown the content of the effect when the 2nd game is performed among the games in which a losing continuous effect is performed (T3).
As shown in FIG. 24C, at this time, the main character performs an attack on the enemy character.
FIG.24 (d) has shown the effect content when the 3rd game is performed among the games in which a losing continuous effect is performed (T4).
As shown in FIG. 24D, at this time, the enemy character produces a counterattack against the main character.
FIG. 24 (e) shows the contents of the effect when the fourth game is being performed among the games in which the continuous loss effect is performed (T5).
As shown in FIG. 24E, at this time, the enemy character continues to attack the main character.
FIG. 24F shows the content of the effect when the fifth game, that is, the last game is being performed among the games in which the continuous loss effect is performed (T6).
As shown in FIG. 24 (f), an effect that the main character loses to the enemy character is performed at this time, and the continuous loss effect is ended.

Also, as shown in FIG. 24 (g), if the winning combination of the cherry part and the bonus part is won at the timing (T4) when the third game among the games in which the losing continuous effect is performed is started, The main liquid crystal display device 3a is notified that the above is established.
Next, as shown in FIG. 24H, at the timing (T5) when the fourth game is started after the losing continuous effect is started, an effect in which the main character attacks the enemy character is performed.
Next, as shown in FIG. 24 (i), at the timing (T6) when the fifth game is started after the losing continuous effect is started, the effect that the hero character wins the enemy character is performed, and the bonus combination is established. A notice to that effect is displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 3a.
Then, as shown in FIG. 24 (j), a notice display indicating that the number of AT notification remaining games has been added to 70 games (for example, character display of “hidden deadly skill explosion bonus AT + 70”) is made on the main liquid crystal display device 3a. .

Next, a lottery method for losing continuous production that determines whether or not to perform continuous losing production will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 25A to 25E, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a lost continuous production occurrence lottery table corresponding to each gaming state is set.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 25A, when the probability state is the low probability state in the normal states (A) and (B), the normal time (low probability) table is set. Yes.
As shown in FIG. 25B, when the probability state is a high probability state in the normal states (A) and (B), a normal time (high probability) table is set.

Also, as shown in FIG. 25 (c), in the RT (replay time) 1 state, the RT1 table is set.
Further, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), in the RT (replay time) 2 state, the RT2 table is set.
Further, as shown in FIG. 25E, in the post-bonus end state, a post-bonus end table is set.

For example, when a watermelon combination is established in the RT2 state, the RT2 table is referred to, and the lost continuous production occurrence lottery is performed.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), the continuous loss production is executed with a probability of 20%.

When the setting device (not shown), for example, the winning probability (internal winning probability) of various winnings in the internal lottery for each game is set to any one of a plurality of settings (for example, settings 1 to 6). Alternatively, when the winning probability is set to a setting 6 that is higher than the setting 1, the occurrence probability of the continuous loss production may be lowered.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 25 (f) and 25 (g), in the normal time (low probability) table, when the setting is 1, the occurrence of each loss continuous production when the cherry, watermelon, and chance combination is established The rate is 50%, 30%, and 30%. On the other hand, the occurrence rate of each loss continuous production at setting 6 is 20%, 20%, and 15%.
Accordingly, when the setting is low (setting 1), it is easier for the loss continuous production to occur than when the setting is high (setting 6). S217, step S219, step S222 (see FIG. 17) are executed, and it is possible to expect an additional number of AT notification remaining games.

Next, details of the table lottery during the continuous effect 1 and the table lottery during the continuous effect 2 executed in the losing continuous effect determination process (see FIG. 18) will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 26 (a), in the continuous production 1 table lottery, the continuous production 1 mid lottery table is set, and if any of the HB role, MB role, CB1 role, and CB2 role is established, there is a 100% probability. Wins an AT lottery.
In addition, the AT lottery is won with a probability of 25% when the cherry combination is established, 5% when the watermelon combination is established, 25% when the chance combination is established, and 0.05% when the winning combination is established.

As shown in FIG. 26 (b), in the continuous effect 2 table lottery, a lottery table in the continuous effect 2 is set, and if any of the HB role, MB role, CB1 role, and CB2 role is established, 100% The chance to win the AT lottery.
In addition, the AT lottery is won with a probability of 50% when the cherry combination is established, 30% when the watermelon combination is established, 50% when the chance combination is established, and 0.05% when the winning combination is established.

Note that when the AT lottery is won, the AT notification remaining game number is selected with reference to the predetermined game number selection table shown in FIG.
In addition, when the continuous production 1 lottery table is set, if a lost continuous production occurs, the table is switched from the continuous production 1 lottery table to the continuous production 2 lottery table.
In addition, when the continuous production 2 lottery table is set and the lost continuous production occurs, the table is switched from the continuous production 2 lottery table to the continuous production 1 lottery table.

  Next, the number of remaining AT notification games managed internally by the sub-control circuit 70 (hereinafter referred to as “the number of managed games”) and the number of remaining AT notification games notified to the player (hereinafter referred to as “the number of displayed games”). ) Will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 27 (a), when the AT lottery is won in the RT2 gaming state and the AT state of 100 games occurs, a display for informing the player that the AT state has been entered (for example, “Acquire RUSH start! "100 game" character display) is made on the main liquid crystal display device 3a. At this time, the number of managed games and the number of displayed games are set to “100”.

Next, when one game is digested after shifting to the AT state, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), the characters “99 remaining games” are displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 3a. The number of displayed games is also set to “99”.
Next, when 10 games are consumed after shifting to the AT state, as shown in FIG. 27 (c), the characters “remaining 90 games” are displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 3a. The number of displayed games is also set to “90”.

Next, for example, in the 25th game after the transition to the AT state, when the winning combination of the watermelon role and the bonus role is won, as shown in FIG. 27 (d), the characters “75 remaining games” and “CHANCE watermelon” are displayed. Is set in the main liquid crystal display device 3a. At this time, the number of management games and the number of display games are both set to "75".
Then, after the winning combination of the watermelon role and the bonus role, as shown in FIG. 27 (e), the main liquid crystal display device displays a notification (for example, “congratulations BOUNUS confirmation”) notifying that the bonus role has been won internally. 3a is made.
Here, after 10 games from the game in which the watermelon role and bonus role are duplicated, it will be notified that the bonus role has been internally won, but the gaming state during this period is not the AT gaming state and the bonus flag is established. Since the game is in the middle state, the countdown of the number of management games is interrupted from the game in which the watermelon role and the bonus role are won in duplicate.
On the other hand, until it is notified that the bonus combination has been won internally, an effect display is performed as an AT gaming state. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 27 (e), the number of displayed games continues to be counted down. Character display of “game” is made on the main liquid crystal display device 3a.
For this reason, at the timing when it is announced that the bonus combination has been won internally, a difference of 10 games will occur between the number of managed games and the number of displayed games.

FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating an example of an effect display that compensates for the difference between the number of managed games and the number of displayed games.
FIG. 28A is a diagram showing a display example of the main liquid crystal display device 3a in the bonus game state after the winning of the above-mentioned double winning bonus combination (HB combination) has occurred.
As shown in FIG. 28 (a), at this time, the character display “Tawaradayo” is displayed at the center of the display screen of the main liquid crystal display device 3a, and the player is encouraged to win a winning combination. Yes. The upper part of the display screen displays the number of medals acquired in the bonus game state (225) and the remaining number of medals that can be acquired until the bonus game state ends (89).

FIG. 28B is a diagram showing a display example of the bonus game state when the number of acquired medals is 250 and the remaining number of medals is 64.
As shown in FIG. 28 (b), at this time, a character display of “Aim at the cherry! Add it when aligned” is displayed at the center of the display screen of the main liquid crystal display device 3 a to encourage the player to win the cherry role. It has become.
At this time, when a winning of the cherry role occurs, an AT lottery is performed and the AT lottery is won (see FIG. 20F). Then, when the AT notification remaining game number “20” is selected (see FIG. 21C), as shown in FIG. 28C, this AT notification remaining game number “20” and the above-described number of managed games And the number of games “10”, which is the difference between the number of displayed games and “10”, is displayed (for example, “Good! Add 30G” is displayed).

  Even if the AT lottery is not won in the bonus game state, it is as if a winning combination (see FIG. 20 (f), FIG. 21 (d)) with the AT notification remaining game number “10” occurs. For example, a character display of “Good! Add 10G” may be displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 28 (d), the number of games “10”, which is the difference between the number of managed games and the number of displayed games, is displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 3a simultaneously with the occurrence of the bonus gaming state. Also good.

  According to the slot machine 1 of the embodiment described above, the start switch 60b for starting the rotation of the plurality of reels 6a, 6b, 6c on which a plurality of types of symbols are displayed, and the plurality of reels 6a, 6b, 6c. A stop switch 60a for stopping the rotation of all of the reels, and in response to a stop operation of the stop switch 60a, all the reels 6a, 6b, 6c are stopped and a symbol combination mode is derived, whereby one game is played. In the slot machine 1 configured to end, a combination lottery for performing a combination lottery for winning or losing a plurality of combinations including a specific combination based on a signal input by operating the start switch 60b Means (main control circuit 50) and the symbol combination state corresponding to the winning combination won by the winning lottery means (main control circuit 50) The player determines the winning switch determining means (main control circuit 50) for determining whether or not the game has been derived and the operation sequence of the stop switch for deriving the combination of symbols that is most advantageous to the player corresponding to the winning combination. The notification game control means (sub control circuit 70) for controlling the notification games that can be notified, the notification game lottery means (sub control circuit 70) for drawing whether or not to execute the notification game, and the winning combination are won. Display effect means (sub control circuit 70) for displaying whether or not, and the display effect means (sub control circuit 70) can execute a continuous display effect for executing the display effect across a plurality of games. Thus, during the execution of the continuous display effect, the lottery by the notification game lottery means (sub control circuit 70) is performed so that the player is preferentially treated.

  Therefore, during the execution of the continuous display effect, the lottery by the notification game lottery means (sub control circuit 70) is performed so that the player is given preferential treatment. It becomes possible to make it a chance game to generate, and the interest can be maintained from the beginning to the end of the continuous display effect.

  Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the display effect means (sub control circuit 70) executes the continuous display effect when the winning combination is won by the role lottery means (main control circuit 50). It was possible.

  Therefore, even if it is found that the winning combination is not won internally by executing the continuous display effect, the game in which the continuous display effect is executed is a chance game for generating a so-called AT (assist time). It becomes possible, and it can suppress that the interest of the said continuous display effect declines.

  Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, during the execution of the continuous display effect, the lottery by the notification game lottery means (sub control circuit 70) is performed as the number of executions of the continuous display effect increases. It is structured to be preferentially treated by the person.

  Therefore, during the execution of the continuous display effect, as the number of executions of the continuous display effect increases, the lottery by the notification game lottery means (sub control circuit 70) is performed so that the player is given preferential treatment.
