Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot machine capable of restricting that it is controlled to a delay state according to a situation even when a condition of controlling it to the delay state once is satisfied.SOLUTION: When a phenomenon triggering a freeze state has occurred, a main control part control a slot machine to be in the freeze state on condition that specific operation not related to progress of a game is performed in subsequent specific timing, and if the specific operation is not performed in the subsequent specific timing, does not control the slot machine to be in the freeze state. If in a state of permitting the freeze state in the subsequent specific timing when the phenomenon triggering the freeze state has occurred, a sub control part prompts a player to perform the specific operation not needed for the progress of the game in the specific timing to control the slot machine to be in the freeze state, and if in a state of not permitting the freeze state in the subsequent specific timing, restricts to control the slot machine to be in the freeze state by not allowing the specific operation in the specific timing.

Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable.

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels having a plurality of types of identification information drawn as identification information on the outer periphery. First, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. , And the start operation is performed in a state where the prescribed bet number is set, and the rotation of the reels is started, and the rotation is stopped by operating the stop button provided corresponding to each reel. Then, when all the reels stop rotating, a combination of predetermined winning identification information (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a combination of identification information) is arranged on the winning line. Will occur. That is, the game is advanced by the player's operation.

  In this type of slot machine, there is one that controls a delay state (freeze state) that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period, and when it is decided to further control to the delay state, until the delay state is further controlled There has been proposed a technique in which the number of games is determined and controlled to be delayed when the determined number of games has elapsed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2012-81262 A

  In the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, when it is determined to control to the delay state, the delay state is always controlled after the number of games determined at that time has elapsed. If it is determined to be controlled, the delay is later controlled than the initially determined number of games, but it is always controlled to the delay state, and the determination cannot be invalidated so as not to control to the delay state. Met.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a problem, and even when a condition for controlling to a delay state is established once, a slot that can be controlled to be controlled to a delay state depending on the situation. The purpose is to provide a machine.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a slot machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
The game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and a variable display device (reel 2L, 2C, 2R) is a slot machine (slot machine 1) in which one game is finished by deriving the display result and winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device,

When the specific operation request effect execution means determines that the specific effect allowance state determination means is controlled to the specific effect allowance state (the state where the added state is won), the first condition ( The specific operation request effect (specific operation request effect) is executed at the specific timing (the period from the start of the determination game to the stop operation of any reel) after the special replay winning is established, and the specific The specific timing after the first condition (special replay winning) is established when it is determined that the specific permissible permissible state (the state where the added state is won) is not controlled by the permissible state determination means The execution of the specific operation request effect (specific operation request effect) in the period from the start of the determination game to the stop operation of any reel is characterized. doing.
According to this feature, when the first condition is satisfied and the second condition is satisfied by performing a specific operation not related to the progress of the game at a specific timing after the first condition is satisfied, the delay state is established. Controlled. In addition, only when it is determined that the specific effect that is executed in the delay state is controlled to be allowed to be performed in the specific effect allowable state, the specific operation request effect is executed at a specific timing after the first condition is satisfied, While urging the player to perform a specific operation, if it is determined that the specific effect is not controlled in the specific effect allowable state, the execution of the specific operation request effect at a specific timing after the first condition is satisfied is restricted, It is possible to prevent the delay state from being controlled by not performing a specific operation at a specific timing, and even when the first condition is satisfied, if the specific production permission state is not controlled, Since the control of the delay state can be restricted, it is possible to prevent the freeze state from being controlled although the specific effect is not executed.
The first condition is a condition for controlling to the delay state. For example, it is determined that a specific display result is derived to the variable display device and that a specific winning is permitted. For example, winning a lottery to control the delay state is applicable.
Further, the specific timing after the first condition is satisfied may be a timing in a game in which the first condition is satisfied, or may be a timing in a game after the game in which the first condition is satisfied.
Further, the specific operation not related to the progress of the game at the specific timing may be an operation of the operating means not related to the progress of the game at all, or to set the bet number when the specific timing cannot be set. Operation of the operating means, operation of the operating means for starting the game when the specific timing is in a state where the game cannot be started, display when the specific timing is in a state where the variable display device cannot derive the display result The operation of the operation means used for derivation of the result may be an operation of the operation means related to the progress of the game except for the specific timing but not related to the progress of the game at the specific timing.
In addition, the delay state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period may be a state in which the timing at which the operation related to the progress of the game becomes valid is delayed for a predetermined period, or the acceptance of the operation related to the progress of the game is invalidated It may be in a state where the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period.
Further, restricting the execution of the specific operation request effect may be a configuration in which the specific operation request effect is not executed, or a configuration in which an effect requesting an operation other than the specific operation is executed.
In addition, a specific effect is an effect that suggests that the player is in an advantageous state, an effect that suggests the start of an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, and an effect that suggests the possibility of a situation that is advantageous to the player For example, an effect in which a situation advantageous to the player is confirmed is applicable.
In addition, if the specific effect is an effect suggesting an advantageous state, the state controlled to the advantageous state is a state where the specific effect is allowed, and the state not controlled to the advantageous state is a state where the specific effect is not allowed is there. Further, if the specific effect is an effect that suggests the start of the advantageous state, the state that is determined to be controlled to the advantageous state is a state in which the specific effect is allowed, and the control to the advantageous state is determined. Although it is determined that the control is performed in the non-effective state and the advantageous state, a state where the control to the advantageous state is restricted as a penalty is a state where the specific performance is not allowed. In addition, if it is an effect that suggests the possibility that the specific effect is in an advantageous situation, and an effect in which the advantageous situation is confirmed, the execution of these effects is a state where the specific effect is allowed, When the execution of these effects is not determined, the specific effect is not allowed.
In addition, the situation that is advantageous to the player corresponds to, for example, being controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, or being granted a privilege that is advantageous to the player.
The advantageous state advantageous to the player means that the probability that a display result advantageous to the player is derived, the probability that the display result advantageous to the player is permitted to be derived is higher than the normal state, This is a state that is advantageous to the player by notifying an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player. Further, in a configuration that is advantageous for the player by achieving the task by the end of the predetermined state, this predetermined state, that is, a state that is advantageous for the player by increasing the period is applied as the advantageous state. Also good.
Further, a privilege advantageous to the player means a right that allows the player to shift to the advantageous state advantageous to the player (winning a lottery for determining whether or not to generate the advantageous state, shifting to the advantageous state. Winning is permitted, etc.), a right to be notified of an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player, a right to be controlled to a gaming state with a high expected value to which a gaming value is given, It may be a privilege that is directly advantageous to the player, such as the right to notify whether or not the gaming state is advantageous to the player, and is not directly advantageous to the player. A benefit that is indirectly advantageous to the player, such as a condition for obtaining the benefit above, may be used.

  The interrupt controller 510 is a circuit that controls an external interrupt request from the PI5 / XINT terminal and an interrupt request from a built-in peripheral circuit (for example, serial communication circuit 512, random number circuits 508a and 508b, timer circuit 509).

  The parallel input port 511 incorporates an 8-bit wide input-only port (PIP). Further, the parallel output port 513 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 incorporates an output-only port (POP) having an 11-bit width.

  The serial communication circuit 512 is a circuit that performs asynchronous serial communication in input / output with respect to the outside. The main control unit 41 includes, as the serial communication circuit 512, a 1-channel circuit for both transmission and reception and a 3-channel circuit for transmission only.

  The address decoding circuit 514 is a circuit for decoding each functional block in the main control unit 41 and a chip select signal that is a decoding signal for an external device. In response to the chip select signal, the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or the external device serving as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 41a.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41. In this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be employed.

  The main control unit 41 also receives detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. The main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input port 511.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed every time a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, every fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment).

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order. An interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process is completed, a new interrupt will occur at that point. It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as a basic process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  The effect control board 90 is composed of a microcomputer having a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d, and a liquid crystal display connected to the effect control board 90, a sub control unit 91 for effect control. 51, a display control circuit 92 for performing display control, an LED driving circuit 93 for controlling driving of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53, 54, when the power is turned on or from the sub CPU 91a The reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the initialization command is not input for a predetermined time, the switch detection circuit 96 that detects the detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, and date information Clock device 97 for outputting time information including time information, and slot A power interruption detection circuit 98 that monitors a power supply voltage supplied to the thin 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the sub CPU 91a when a voltage drop is detected, and other circuits are mounted. The sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing the effects, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. Control.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the number of input system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in internal lottery, navigation stock lottery, and the like, which will be described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. If the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power interruption process (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), a register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored in the RAM 41c. In addition to the storage, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c becomes 0, and stored in the RAM 41c. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation regardless of whether the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis And the processing state of the main control unit 41 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis is also correct. However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or the value of the destruction diagnosis data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state. However, the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the normal error state, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the above-described setting change state. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data necessary for the restoration of the control state during a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 41c and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  The sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interrupt process (sub), and if it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, Disconnection processing (sub) is executed. In the power interruption process (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c, which will be described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and also based on data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and On the condition that the value of the destructive diagnosis data is also correct, the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c. If the value of the data for destruction diagnosis is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the performance is not disabled.

  In addition, even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub control unit 91 activates when receiving a setting command (described later) indicating that the setting change state has been entered from the main control unit 41. Even when a later-described return command or setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned is not received even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power supply even in the event of a power failure, and the sub-control unit 91 determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, but only the data required to return to the control state during a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 91c and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port or the progress in the middle of the production when it is interrupted.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a non-saved work, a general work, a special work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data such as various display devices and LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counter, etc., which are inconvenient to be initialized are stored. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at a certain trigger (for example, at the end of RT3), such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, and the number of medals to be paid out. The special work is a work that stores data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the setting is started. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the in-use stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 41c when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, when an abnormal RAM error occurs, when RT3 ends, and when the setting key switch 37 is turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and transitions to a setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of RT3. In initialization 2, the area of the RAM 41c that includes the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area, that is, the area from the general work to the unused stack area. It is initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good.

  The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a predetermined number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (3 in any gaming state in this embodiment), and is determined according to the gaming state. The game can be started on the condition that the specified number of bets has been set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the winning flag for a special role is won, even if the combination of characters allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Further, in this embodiment, the special combination is not provided, and only the small combination and the replay combination are subject to the internal lottery and winning, but the special combination is provided and the special combination is the internal lottery and winning. It is good also as composition which becomes the object of.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT type), it is determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state (RT type), the number of bets and the set value. It is performed according to the number of judgment values of each combination.

  In the internal lottery, a random number value for internal lottery (stored in the lottery work) is determined for the role that is the subject of the internal lottery, the current gaming state (current RT type), and the set value. When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  In the present embodiment, since the special combination is not provided, only the general combination storing work among the internal winning flag storing works is used.

  Further, in this embodiment, the number of determination values, which is the number of determination values determined to be winning, is determined for each lottery target role, and the number of determination values is sequentially added (subtracted) to the random number value for each lottery target role. In the case of overflow, the winning combination corresponding to the number of determination values is determined. However, for each lottery target role, a range of random values determined to be winning is determined, and the range to which the random value belongs It is good also as a structure which determines the winning of the role to perform.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the reel starts to rotate and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel is described. To explain, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type), and further, one table creation data includes Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status of one reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type) and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created by referring to these is also unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). For this reason, the same stop control table, that is, the same control when all of the gaming state (RT type), the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are the same. The reel stop control is performed based on the pattern.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that is not performed is stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In this embodiment, the special role is not provided. However, in the configuration having the special role, the special role and the small character are selected when the special role is won in a state where the special role is carried over from before the previous game. If a winning combination is won at the same time, the number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning winning combination is drawn to the winning line within a range of 4 frames, and the winning winning combination is a maximum of 4 on the winning line. For stop operation positions that cannot be drawn within the range of frames, a stop control table is created in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the selected special role is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and reel stop control is performed. Should be done. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, Control is performed to align and stop this, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. In the case where a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  Also, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn, the small role is placed on the winning line. You may perform control to align.

  In addition, in a configuration with a special role, if the special role and the re-playing role are won at the same time, such as when the re-playing role is won while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the stop operation When the game is performed, control may be performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Continuously, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time point is equal to or longer than a predetermined restriction time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the predetermined restriction time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, At that time, the reels in the game are started to rotate.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the predetermined regulation time, that is, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time, It waits until the game time that has started timing from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches a predetermined regulation time, and when the predetermined regulation time is reached, rotation of the reel in the game is started.

  That is, when the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, the main control unit 41 regulates the progress of the game until the predetermined regulation time elapses. The progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time is not less than a predetermined regulation time.

  In this embodiment, if a predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, the progress of the game is regulated until the predetermined regulation time has elapsed, so that one game The configuration is such that the progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time is not less than a predetermined regulation time. If the game time is counted from one timing other than the start of reel rotation in one game (for example, at the end of the game), and a predetermined regulation time has passed by the same one timing in the next game While the game is allowed to proceed, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed before the same timing in the next game, the game does not proceed and the predetermined regulation time elapses Until Wait, that it allows progressive game when a predetermined restriction time period has passed, it may be configured to one game shortest time regulates the progress of the game to a predetermined restriction time or more.

  Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends to the sub-control unit 91 an inserted number command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command 1, a freeze command 2, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning number command, Send multiple types of commands including payout start command, payout end command, return command, gaming state command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, door command, operation detection command .

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

  The inserted number command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Or, when a prescribed number of bets is not set, a medal is inserted, or when the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. The inserted number command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, so that it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the inserted number command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The freeze command 1 can specify the number of games up to the determination game, whether or not a freeze reservation flag (a flag indicating that the operation is controlled to the freeze state when a specific operation is performed in the determination game), which will be described later, is set. This command is sent when the game ends.

  Freeze command 2 can specify that a specific operation has been performed in a later-described determination game, that is, that the bet number setting operation of the next game or the activation of the start operation of the next game is delayed by being controlled to the freeze state This command is transmitted when a specific operation is performed in the determination game.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation in a game that is not controlled in the freeze state, which will be described later, and is transmitted when the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning number command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning. Sent after.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power interruption.

  The gaming state command is a command that can specify the current gaming state (any one of RT0 to RT3), and is transmitted when power is restored or when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state. When the stop state is controlled after completion of RT3, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted, the reset operation is performed, and the stop command is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it is possible to specify that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by a setting command indicating start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), when the power is turned on, at the end of one game (after the game is over, the bet number of the next game) Sent before the setting of ”can be started), and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted periodically.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) described above. The

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main) and stored in the door command storage area. The door command storage area stores a door command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 at the time of power-on or at the end of one game, and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes, A door command indicating the detection state is stored. Further, the door command stored in the door command storage area is not cleared even after the door command is transmitted, and is then overwritten by a newly stored door command. When the power is turned on or one game is finished, a door command transmission request 1 for requesting transmission of a door command stored in the door command storage area is set, and whether the door command transmission request 1 is set or whether the door is open is detected. When the detection state of the switch 25 changes, it is temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main).

  The operation detection command is generated in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and then the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). And sent.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the received command type is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and changes to the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the betting number setting operation is performed during the execution of the effect, that is, when the sub-control unit 91 receives the inserted number command indicating that the betting number is set, The production is to be canceled. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or betting amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub-control unit 91 receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, it receives an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received before, the effect being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command, the sub control unit 91 stores the effect pattern in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. With reference to the registered selection rate, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, “replay a” and “replay b” of the left reel 2L constituting the special replay 3 are arranged at positions one above “7a”, “7b” or “7c”. “Replay a”, “Watermelon a”, and “Watermelon b” on the right reel 2R are arranged at positions one below “7a”, “7b”, or “7c”. -7a-Replay a "," Replay a-7a-Watermelon a "," Replay a-7a-Watermelon b "," Replay a-7b-Replay a "," Replay a-7b-Watermelon a "," Replay a " -7b-Watermelon b "," Replay a-7c-Replay a "," Replay a-7c-Watermelon a "," Replay a-7c-Watermelon b "," Replay b-7a-Replay a "," Replay b " -7a-Watermelon a "," Replay b 7a-Watermelon b "," Replay b-7b-Replay a "," Replay b-7b-Watermelon a "," Replay b-7b-Watermelon b "," Replay b-7c-Replay a "," Replay b- When any combination of “7c-watermelon a” and “replay b-7c-watermelon b” is prepared, “7a-7a-7a”, “7a-7a-7b”, “7a-7a-7c”, “7a” -7b-7a "," 7a-7b-7b "," 7a-7b-7c "," 7a-7c-7a "," 7a-7c-7b "," 7a-7c-7c "," 7b-7a " -7a "," 7b-7a-7b "," 7b-7a-7c "," 7b-7b-7a "," 7b-7b-7b "," 7b-7b-7c "," 7b-7c-7a " "," 7b-7c-7b "," 7b-7c-7c "," 7c-7a-7a "," c-7a-7b "," 7c-7a-7c "," 7c-7b-7a "," 7c-7b-7b "," 7c-7b-7c "," 7c-7c-7a "," 7c- One of the combinations of “7c-7b” and “7c-7c-7c” rises to the right, that is, aligns with the invalid line LM4.

  Further, “replay a” and “replay b” of the left reel 2L constituting the special replay 3, “7a”, “7b” and “7c” of the middle reel 2C, “replay a” and “watermelon a” of the right reel 2R. "And" Watermelon b "are arranged within 5 frames in each. For this reason, when the special replay 3 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, in principle, it can be said that it is a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Next, the transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the transition items are “replay a-7a-bell a”, “replay a-7b-bell a”, “replay a-7c-bell a”, “replay b-7a-bell a”. ”,“ Replay b-7b-Bell a ”,“ Replay b-7c-Bell a ”,“ Replay a-Bell a-7a ”,“ Replay a-Bell a-7b ”,“ Replay a-Bell a-7c ” "Replay b-bell a-7a", "Replay b-bell a-7b", "Replay b-bell a-7c", "Replay a-7a-7a", "Replay a-7a-7b" "Replay a-7a-7c", "Replay a-7b-7a", "Replay a-7b-7b", "Replay a-7b-7c", "Replay a-7c-7a", "Replay a-7c -7b "," Replay a-7c-7c "," Replay b-7a-7a " "Replay b-7a-7b", "Replay b-7a-7c", "Replay b-7b-7a", "Replay b-7b-7b", "Replay b-7b-7c", "Replay b- 7c-7a "," Replay b-7c-7b ", and" Replay b-7c-7c ". When RT0, RT2, and RT3 are aligned with the winning line LN, the transition is made to RT1. In this embodiment, left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 which will be described later are elected, and the upper bells which are elected as the first stop other than the reels which become the winning conditions for the middle bells are elected. When the game is missed, the above-mentioned transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, a combination of lottery object combinations read out as a lottery object combination for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0, RT1, RT2, or RT3, either the combination that is the object of the internal lottery or its winning probability is different. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 show combinations of winning combinations that are read for each lottery target combination, and by indicating “+” between winning combinations, it is shown that they are simultaneously read as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 11 and 12, the lottery target combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out.

  Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  Further, FIG. 11 shows combinations of small combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state (RT type), and FIG. 12 shows replaying combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state (RT type). Shows a combination of.

  When RT0, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, center bell 1, center bell 2, center bell 3, center bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherries, weak cherries, strong cherries, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, and normal replay are the subject of internal lottery.

  When it is RT1, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, special replay, fall + promotion replay 1, fall + promotion replay 2, fall + promotion Replay 3, fall + promotion replay 4, fall + promotion replay 5, normal + special replay 7 are subject to internal lottery.

  When RT2, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, normal + fall replay 1, normal + fall replay 2, normal + fall replay 3, Normal + special replay 1, normal + special replay 2, normal + special replay 3, normal + special replay 4, normal + special replay 5, normal + special replay 6 are subject to internal lottery.

  When it is RT3, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, special replay, normal + fall replay 1, normal + fall replay 2, normal + fall Replay 3, normal + special replay 8, normal + special replay 9, and normal + special replay 10 are targeted for internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the common bell is a single winning of a right-down bell, and when a common bell is won, a combination of right-down bells is always provided.

  The left bell 1 is a right falling bell + an upper bell 1 + an upper bell 4, the left bell 2 is a right falling bell + an upper bell 2 + an upper bell 3, and the left bell 3 is a right falling bell + an upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) and left bell 4 are lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells.

  The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell. The middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 7. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells.

  The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell. The right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 6. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells.

  The left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as push order bells.

  The middle cherry is a single winner of cherry 1.

  The weak cherry is cherry 2 + cherry 3 + 1 sheet 1 + 1 sheet 3 and the strong cherry is cherry 2 + cherry 3 + 1 sheet 2 + 1 sheet 3. At the time of the weak cherry win, the strong cherry win will be “cherry” in the upper or lower tier of the left reel 2L when the left reel is stopped at a timing within the pull-in range of “7c” or “watermelon b”. However, when a weak cherry is won, even if you aim for “cherry” in the middle and right reels 2C and 2R, the invalid line LM3 and LM4 will not have the “cherry-cherry-cherry” combination. When a strong cherry is won, a stop operation is performed aiming at “cherry” in the middle and right reels 2C and 2R, so that “cherry-cherry-cherry” is placed on one of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. It is controlled to be able to align the combinations of "".

  Therefore, when “Cherry” is stopped on the left, middle, and right reels and “Cherry” is stopped on the upper or lower stage of the left reel, “Cherry-Cherry” is set on one of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. -It is possible to recognize whether the cherry is a strong cherry or a weak cherry depending on whether the combination of "cherry" is available.

  A weak one is a single winning one, and a strong one is a single two winning. At the time of winning a weak one, it is controlled so that “7b-watermelon b-cherry” constituting each one is aligned, and even if “7b-watermelon b-cherry” is not aligned, in a specific operation mode By performing a stop operation, it is controlled so as to be able to derive a weak chance that can be derived only at the time of winning one weak or strong one, while “7b-watermelon b-” that constitutes one two when winning a strong one “Watermelon b” is controlled to be aligned, and even if “7b-Watermelon b-Watermelon b” is not aligned, a strong chance that can be derived only when a strong one is won by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode The eye is controlled to be derived.

  For this reason, “7b-watermelon b-cherry” composing one sheet 1 is prepared, or as a result of performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode, a weak chance is derived, so that one weak sheet is won. As a result of the stop operation in a specific operation mode as a result of the “7b-watermelon b-watermelon b” constituting one sheet 1 being prepared, a strong chance eye is derived and Recognize winning.

  The weak watermelon is an upper watermelon + lower right watermelon + rightward watermelon, and the strong watermelon is an upper watermelon + middle watermelon + right lower watermelon + right watermelon. When winning a weak watermelon, even if the combination of “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” is stopped in the middle, the left, middle and right reels are stopped. / B-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b "is controlled so that the combination is aligned to the upper, lower right, or right upward, while when strong watermelon is selected," watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon " When the left, middle and right reels are stopped at a timing at which the combination “a / b” can be stopped in the middle stage, the combination “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” is in the middle stage. It is controlled to align.

  For this reason, as a result of the stop operation of the left, middle, and right reels at the timing at which the combination of “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” can be stopped in the middle stage, “watermelon a / b-watermelon” Depending on whether the combination of “a / b-watermelon a / b” is aligned in the upper stage, right-down or right-up, or in the middle stage, it can be recognized whether the winning is a weak watermelon or a strong watermelon.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the normal replay is a single winning of the normal replay 1, and the combination of the normal replay 1 is always prepared when the normal replay is won.

  The special replay is special replay 1 + special replay 2 + special replay 3, and any combination of special replay 1, special replay 2 or special replay 3 is always provided when the special replay is won.

  Fall + promotion replay 1 is promotion replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 2 is normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 3 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2+ promotion Replay + fall replay, fall + promotion replay 4 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + fall replay, and fall + promotion replay 5 is normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay + special replay 1 is there.

  Normal + fall replay 1 is normal replay 1 + fall replay, normal + fall replay 2 is normal replay 1 + fall replay + special replay 1, normal + fall replay 3 is normal replay 1 + fall replay + Special Replay 2.

  Normal + special replay 1 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1, normal + special replay 2 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1, and normal + special replay 3 Normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promoted replay + special replay 1, normal + special replay 4 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3, and normal + special replay 5 is Normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3, normal + special replay 6 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 3, special replay 7 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2+ Special Replay 1 + Special Replay 2 + Special Replay 3, normal + special replay 8 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1, normal + special replay 9 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1 The normal + special replay 10 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1.

  In the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 15, the small combinations determined in accordance with the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the stop operation order are placed on the winning line. Control is performed to stop evenly in the drawing range of up to 4 frames.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4) is selected and left-pressed (stop operation to stop the left reel first), the right hand will be lowered to the right When the combination of bells is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing (stop operation to stop the middle reel first) or right press (stop operation to stop the right reel first). Performs a control to stop any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4 or the transition outcome in line with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, a stop operation is performed by pushing left. In this case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the right lowering bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected because there are places that are arranged, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, it becomes the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, control is performed so that the combination of the middle bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 will be used. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, an appropriate drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 is appropriate. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, and right bell, that is, the push order bell, is won, the stop operation is performed in the operation mode according to the type of the winning combination, so While the bell or middle bell always wins, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but the upper bell is aligned at 3/4 by performing the stop operation in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the type of winning combination. There are times when the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type is not known, a specific operation mode cannot be selected intentionally. Although a medal can be reliably obtained by winning, a medal can be obtained only at a certain rate if the pushing order does not match.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 16, a re-game player determined according to the type of the re-game players won at the same time and the stop operation order is won. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line.

  When the fall + promotion replay 1 (promotion replay + fall replay) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the control of stopping the combination of the promoted replays among the elected replaying players on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If a fall + promotion replay 2 (normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle, left, or right order, the combination of promotion replays among the selected replay players is aligned to the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If a fall + promotion replay 3 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won, and a stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of the promotion replays among the selected re-players is the winning line Control to stop in line with LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control to stop the combination of falling replays in line with winning line LN is performed.

  If the fall + promotion replay 4 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay among the selected replayers will be the winning line Control to stop in line with LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control to stop the combination of falling replays in line with winning line LN is performed.

  If a fall + promotion replay 5 (normal replay 1 + promotion replay + fall replay + special replay 1) is won and a stop operation is made in the order of middle right and left, the combination of promotion replays among the selected re-playing players Control to stop in line with the winning line LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than right middle left, control to stop the combination of falling replays in line with the winning line LN is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the promotion replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay or the fall replay always wins.

  Thus, in the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning the promotion replay.

  For this reason, in RT1 where the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 are the targets of the internal lottery, any of the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 wins and matches the operation mode according to the type, so that the promotion replay Wins and moves to RT2.

  When normal + falling replay 1 (normal replay 1 + falling replay) is won and a stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the left, the combination of normal replay 1 among the selected replaying players is matched to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, the control for stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  When normal + falling replay 2 (normal replay 1 + falling replay + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle, the combination of normal replay 1 of the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When normal + falling replay 3 (normal replay 1 + falling replay + special replay 2) is won and a stop operation is made in the order of right push, the combination of normal replay 1 among the winning replay players is the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in the order of the left press or the middle press, the control for stopping the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the normal replay 1 and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the normal replay 1 or the fall replay always wins.

  Thus, in the normal + falling replays 1 to 3, different operation modes are set as operation modes for avoiding the fall replay.

  Therefore, in RT2 and RT3 where the normal + falling replays 1 to 3 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the normal + falling replays 1 to 3 wins, it matches the operation mode for winning the normal replay. Although the transition to RT1 can be avoided, if it does not coincide with the operation mode for winning the normal replay, the fall replay wins and the routine proceeds to RT1.

  If normal + special replay 1 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, the combination of special replay 1 among the selected replaying roles Is controlled so as to be aligned with the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that any combination of normal replays 1 to 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. Do.

  When normal + special replay 2 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replay 1 among the selected replay players is the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, control is performed so that any combination of the normal replays 1 and 2 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If normal + special replay 3 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promoted replay + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle and left, special replay 1 The control is performed so that the combination of the replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle and left and right, the combination of any one of the normal replays 1 to 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. I do.

  When normal + special replay 4 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of special replay 3 among the selected replaying players is selected. Control to stop in line with the winning line LN is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control is performed to align any combination of the normal replays 1 to 3 with the winning line LN and stop.

  When normal + special replay 5 (normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, the combination of special replay 3 among the selected replay players is the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, any combination of the normal replays 2 and 3 is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When normal + special replay 6 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promoted replay + special replay 3) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the special replay of the selected replay players When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the right middle, left, and right, any combination of normal replays 1 to 3 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. To control.

  When normal + special replay 7 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1 + special replay 2 + special replay 3) is won and a stop operation is performed by left-pressing, special replays 1 to 3 of the selected replaying players Control is performed so that any combination is stopped on the winning line LN, and when a stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replay 1 is aligned on the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replays 1 to 3 and the normal replays 1 to 3 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. In accordance with the stop operation order, the reel control is performed so that the special replays 1 to 3 or the normal replays 1 to 3 always win regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Thus, in the normal + special replays 1 to 6, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning the special replay.

  For this reason, if any of the normal + special replays 1 to 6 is won in the RT2 where the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are the targets of the internal lottery, if the operation mode matches the operation mode for winning the special replay. A special replay is won, and in particular if RT2 is entered, the process proceeds to RT3, but if they do not match, a normal replay is won.

  In addition, the normal + special replay 7 is subject to internal lottery only at RT1, but in this case, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left, the special replay wins and the process proceeds to RT3. If a stop operation is performed in, the normal replay only wins.

  When normal + special replay 8 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle right, normal replay among the selected replaying players 2 combination (7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN before the second stop (tempered), and a stop mode in which symbols other than 7a / b / c stop on the winning line LN at the third stop) If control is performed to stop in line with the line LN, and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of the normal replay 3 among the selected replay players (7a / b / c won by the second stop) Control is performed so that the line LN is stopped (tempered) and the symbols other than 7a / b / c are stopped on the winning line LN when the third stop is performed, and the winning line LN is aligned and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in the order of right or middle right left, that is, when the middle reel is set to the first stop, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in the left order, that is, when the right reel is set to the first stop, the combination of the special replay 1 is controlled so as to be stopped on the winning line LN.

  When normal + special replay 9 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the combination of the normal replay 3 among the selected replay players ( 7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN by the second stop (tempered) and symbols other than 7a / b / c stop on the winning line LN at the third stop) are aligned with the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of the normal replay 4 of the selected replay players (7a / b / c will stop on the winning line LN by the second stop) (Tempered), and a control to stop the symbols other than 7a / b / c at the third stop on the winning line LN) is performed in line with the winning line LN. When stop operations are performed in order, that is, when the right reel is set to the first stop, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped in the order of left middle right or right and left. When an operation is performed, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, control is performed so that the combination of the special replay 1 is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped.

  When normal + special replay 10 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 4 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left middle, the combination of normal replay 2 of the selected replay players ( 7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN by the second stop (tempered) and symbols other than 7a / b / c stop on the winning line LN at the third stop) are aligned with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of the normal replay 4 among the selected replay players (7a / b / c by the second stop will be placed on the winning line LN Stops (tempered) and stops the symbols other than 7a / b / c at the third stop on the winning line LN). When the stop operation is performed in this order, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replay 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped in the order of middle left and right or middle right and left. When an operation is performed, that is, when the middle reel is set to the first stop, control is performed so that the combination of the special replay 1 is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replay 1 and the normal replays 1 to 4 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. In accordance with the order, the reel control is performed so that the special replay 1 or the normal replays 1 to 4 always win regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Thus, in normal + special replays 8 to 10, normal replay 1 (replay a / b-replay a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b combination), normal replays 2 to 4 (until the second stop) 7a / b / c is a temporary stop, and a symbol other than 7a / b / c stops at the third stop), special replay 1 (7a / b / c-7a / b / c-7a / b / The operation mode for winning one of the combinations of c) is set, and the operation mode for winning one of the normal replay 1, the normal replays 2 to 4, and the special replay 1 according to the type Are set differently.

  For this reason, if any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won in the RT3 in which the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are subject to the internal lottery, the operation mode for winning the normal replay 1 is matched. If the normal replay 1 (replay a / b-replay a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b combination) wins and matches the operation mode for winning the special replay 1, special replay 1 (7a / b / C-7a / b / c-7a / b / c) is won, and if it matches the operation mode of winning normal replays 2-4, normal replays 2-4 (7a / b / by the second stop) The stop mode in which c is tempered and symbols other than 7a / b / c are stopped at the third stop will be awarded.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG.

  RT0 shifts after the setting is changed. Then, RT0 is ended by shifting to RT1 due to the stop of the transfer start, regardless of the number of games after shifting to RT0.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT0 is about 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, only the normal replay is the target of the internal lottery as the re-game player, and only the normal replay can be won.

  RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at RT0, RT2, RT3, or when the fall replay wins at RT2,3. And RT1 is complete | finished by shifting to RT2 when a promotion replay wins, or shifting to RT3 when a special replay wins.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT1 is about 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, normal replays, special replays, fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 and normal + special replays 7 are subject to internal lottery, and normal replays, promotion replays, fall replays, and special replays. Can win.

  RT2 shifts to when the promotion replay wins in RT1 (when any of the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 is won and a stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins). Then, RT2 is terminated by shifting to RT1 when the fall replay is won or when the transition is stopped, or when RT2 is shifted to RT3 when the special replay is won.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT2 is about 1 / 3.06, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, normal replay, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 and normal + special replays 1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, and normal replay, fall replay, and special replay can win. .

  RT3 is when special replay wins at RT1 (special replay wins, or when normal + special replay 7 wins and is stopped by pressing left), or when special replay wins at RT2 (normal + When special replays 1 to 6 are won and stop operation is performed in the order in which special replays win. And RT3 is complete | finished when a fall replay wins or a transfer turn stops and it transfers to RT1.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT3 is about 1 / 1.27, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, normal replays, special replays, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 and normal + special replays 8 to 10 are subject to internal lottery, and normal replay, fall replay, and special replay You can win a prize.

  Of RT0 to RT3, RT3 has the highest medal payout rate per game and is the most advantageous gaming state.

  Of RT0 to RT2, RT2 has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than RT0 and 1, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT0 and RT1 in that RT0 and RT1. It can be said that it is a more advantageous state for the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the gaming state is RT1 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 produces an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The state can be controlled.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, after the setting is changed, the state is first controlled to RT0. At RT0, when the transition point stops, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In RT0, if any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is elected and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop, Transition to RT1 when any of the left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won in RT3 after the setting change It becomes.

  In RT1, when the promotion replay wins, the process proceeds to RT2. In RT1, a fall + promotion 1-5 is won and the promotion replay wins when the stop order is correct, so in RT1, a fall + promotion 1-5 wins and goes to RT2 by answering in the stop order Will be migrated. In RT1, the special replay is won or the normal + special replay 7 is won and the special replay wins, so that the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT2, the fall replay wins or the transition is stopped, the process moves to RT1, and the special replay wins, the process moves to RT3.

  In RT2, the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay wins when the stop order is incorrect. In addition, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 wins and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in RT2, the normal + falling replays 1 to 3 are won and the stop order is incorrect, or the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 are won, If the small role cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1. On the other hand, in RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, and the special replay wins when the stop order is correct. For this reason, in RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT3, when the fall replay wins or the transitional outcome stops, the process proceeds to RT1. In RT3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay wins when the stop order is incorrect. In addition, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 wins and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in RT3, the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won and the stop order is incorrect, or the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 are won, If the small role cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 does not win any combination except for a certain case, or if a small combination wins, immediately after the game ends, by inserting a medal or operating the MAXBET switch 6 While the betting number setting operation is valid, when the special replay is won, the progress of the game during the period from the start of the subsequent judgment game until the stop operation of any reel When a specific operation not related to (the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 is performed ten times or more), if no winning combination is won in the determination game, or if a small winning combination is won, FIG. ) After the winning, the activation of the betting number setting operation is delayed over the same time as the time required for the character introduction period constituting the character selection effect described later. Since the control is set to the freeze state, and the betting number setting operation is invalidated for the period until the freeze state ends, the medal is inserted even if the medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated during this period. The bet number setting operation by the MAXBET switch 6 is not accepted effectively, and the bet number is not set.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 automatically sets the same number of bets as that of the previous game immediately after the game ends when the re-game player wins except in a certain case, and starts the next game. On the other hand, when a special replay is won, a specific operation that is not related to the progress of the game during the period until the stop operation of any reel is performed after the start of the subsequent determination game ( When the MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more) and the re-gamer wins in the determination game, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), immediately after winning the same number as the previous game Although the number of bets is automatically set, the freeze state delays the activation of the start operation over the same time as the character introduction period that constitutes the character selection effect described later Since the start operation is invalidated over the period until the freeze state ends, even if the start operation is performed during this period, the start operation is not accepted effectively and the game starts. Nor.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, when the special replay is won, the main control unit 41 sets a freeze reservation flag indicating that when a specific operation is performed in the determination game, the free game is controlled in the next game. Set to. Furthermore, when the special replay is won, the main control unit 41 performs a determination game number lottery in which a determination game number that is the number of games until the determination game is determined from a plurality of game numbers, and stores the number of games until the determination game in the RAM 41c. The determined number of games is set in the judgment game number counter assigned for counting.

  In the determination game number lottery, as shown in FIG. 18, any number of games from 0 to 10 is randomly determined. For this reason, when a special replay is won, the number of games up to a determination game that is controlled to be frozen by the next game is changed randomly. When 0 game is determined, the next game in which the special replay is won becomes the determination game.

  In addition, when the freeze reservation flag is set, the main control unit 41 subtracts the value of the determination game number counter by 1 for each game, and determines whether the result of the subtraction is 0, that is, the game is a determination game. It is determined whether or not.

  If the game is a determination game, it is determined whether or not a specific operation not related to the progress of the game has been performed during the period from the start of the determination game to the stop operation of any reel. . The specific operation in the present embodiment is an operation of the MAXBET switch 6 that becomes invalid for the progress of the game during the period from the start of the game until the operation of stopping any of the reels. The MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more until a stop operation of any reel is performed, so that it is determined that there is a specific operation, the freeze reservation flag is cleared, and a re-game player is played in the determination game. When no winning is made, that is, when no winning combination is won, or when a small winning combination is won, the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the betting number setting operation in the next game. When winning, the game is controlled to a frozen state that delays the activation of the start operation in the next game.

  On the other hand, when the specific operation is not performed during the period from the start of the determination game to the operation of stopping any of the reels, that is, when the MAXBET switch 6 is not operated, or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated. If the number of times does not reach 10, the freeze reservation flag is cleared and the freeze state is not controlled in the next game.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is special in ART (state controlled by AT at RT3) when winning the middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, and strong watermelon. A navigation stock lottery is performed to determine whether or not to grant navigation stock, which is the right to control to ART when winning replays 8 to 10. Navistock including 0 in the Navistock lottery at the time of winning the normal + special replay 8-10 during ART when winning middle cherries, weak cherries, strong cherries, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon By determining the number, whether or not to give the number of navigation stocks and, if so, the number is determined.

  In the present embodiment, the average number of winning Navi stocks in the Navi Stock lottery varies depending on the type of the winning combination.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by ART over a predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment). By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, the ART is controlled for a predetermined number of games, and a navigation effect is executed during that time. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  If the navigation stock is won when the number of navigation stocks remains, the number of navigation stocks won this time is added to the remaining navigation stocks.

  When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the navigation stock lottery in a state other than ART, the sub control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a later-described navigation stock number storage area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to ART based on the presence / absence of the number of navigation stocks in the RAM 91c. If the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more remains, the AT is first controlled after an ART confirmation notification indicating that ART has been won through a predetermined introduction effect.

  The sub-control unit 91 can control to the AT on the condition that the navigation stock remains when it is not controlled by the AT in RT1 to RT3.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT when the navigation stock remains in RT1 to RT3 (mainly RT1). During the period from the transition to RT1 to RT3, it is controlled by the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks, and the navigation effect can be executed. At this time, in RT1, it becomes a target of the navigation effect at the time of winning the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5, and in the navigation effect, the push order for winning the promotion replay at the time of winning the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 is notified. It is possible to shift from RT1 to RT2 by performing a stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order.

  Also, during the transition from RT1 to RT2 after the start of the AT control, the push order for winning the bell is notified when the push order bell is won, so that the medal can be surely performed by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order. Can also be obtained.

  In RT2, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are subject to navigation effects, and in the navigation effect, normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won in order to win special replays. It is possible to shift from RT2 to RT3 by performing a stop operation according to the pressing order.

  In addition, during the transition from RT2 to RT3 after the start of the AT control, the push order for avoiding the fall replay is notified during the normal + fall replays 1 to 3, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order. Thus, the transition to RT1 can be avoided, and the push order for winning the bell is notified when the push order bell is won, so that the medal can be surely obtained by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, And the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

  After the start of AT, when the transition is made from RT2 to RT3, ART starts, and the number of navigation stock is consumed (subtracted). When the navigation stock number is consumed by 1, the navigation stock number is decremented by 1.

  After the start of ART, when the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, the push order for avoiding the fall replay is notified, so by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order, the transition to RT1 can be avoided, Since the pushing order for winning the bell is notified when the pushing order bell is won, the stop operation is performed according to the notified pushing order, so that a medal can be surely obtained and the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

  In addition, when the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are won after the start of ART, the push order for winning the normal replay 1 is informed in the order of winning the normal replays 1 to 4 except for the case of winning the navigation stock lottery. Since the player performs the stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order, the special replay 1 is performed when the normal + special replay 8 to 10 is won, even though the navigation stock lottery is not won. Is prevented from winning.

  The sub-control unit 91 stores the remaining number of ART games (50 games in this embodiment) executed by the navigation stock when the navigation stock is consumed by one, that is, when shifting from RT2 to RT3, in the RAM 91c. Store in the area. The sub-control unit 91 subtracts 1 from the remaining number of games in the RAM 91c each time one game is consumed, and controls to ART during a period until the remaining number of games becomes zero. When the number of games remains and the target role of navigation is won, a navigation effect is executed.

  Thereafter, when the number of remaining ART games becomes 0 and no navigation stock remains, the ART is terminated and the non-AT is controlled.

  When controlled to non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed. Thereby, when it is RT3, the possibility that the transition outcomes are aligned increases, and the possibility of transition to RT1 increases.

  Also, if the navigation stock remains, the number of navigation stock is consumed (subtracted), a predetermined number of games is newly set, and then the ART is controlled to ART during the period until the remaining number of games in the ART becomes zero. To do. Thus, the ART is continuously controlled until the number of navigation stocks becomes zero.

  When the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by AT or ART, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is fall + promotion replay 1-5 when pushing RT, push order bell, and normal + fall replay 1-3, normal + special replay 1-6 when RT2. , Push order bell, and when RT3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3, normal + special replay 8 to 10, push order bell.

  As a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5, the push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the promotion replay according to the winning situation of the internal lottery is notified. For example, a message such as “Middle Left / Right!” Or “Middle Left / Right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 1. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 2, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 3, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 4, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 5, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As the navigation effect when the normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, the push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the promotion replay according to the winning situation of the internal lottery is notified. For example, a message such as “middle left right!” Or “middle left right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the normal + falling replay 1 is won. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + falling replay 2 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Or “middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the normal + falling replay 3 is won, a message such as “Middle right!” Or “Middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when the normal + special replays 1 to 6 are won, a push order (see FIG. 16) for winning the special replay according to the winning situation of the internal lottery is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 1 is won. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 2 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 5 is won, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 6 is won, a message such as “Right Middle Left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 15) for surely winning a right-down bell or a middle bell is notified. For example, when winning the left bell, it is possible to reliably win the right falling bell by stopping the left reel as the first stop reel. Therefore, “left middle right for stopping the left reel as the first stop reel” ! ”Or“ middle right and left! ”Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle bell can be surely won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so “middle left and right!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. Alternatively, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. Therefore, “middle right” for stopping the right reel as the first stop reel! Alternatively, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  After starting ART, if you win normal + special replays 8-10, and you win the Navistock lottery, you will be notified of the push order (see FIG. 16) for winning special replay 1 as a navigation effect. The For example, a message such as “Middle right / left!” Or “Middle right / left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 8 is won and the navigation stock lottery is won. A message such as “Left / Middle / Right!” Or “Left / Right / Middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 9 is won and the navigation stock lottery is won. A message such as “middle left and right!” Or “middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the normal + special replay 10 is won and the navigation stock lottery is won.

  In addition, after the start of ART, if normal + special replays 8 to 10 are won, and if the navigation stock lottery is not won at that time, the push order or special replay 1 configuration to win the normal replay 1 as a navigation effect The pressing order (see FIG. 16) for making the symbol a template (usually winning replays 2 to 4) is notified. For example, when the normal + special replay 8 is won and the navigation stock lottery is not won, a navigation effect such as “middle left and right!” Or “middle right and left!” Or “left middle right and right!” Or “left and right A message such as “Medium!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the normal + special replay 9 is won and the navigation stock lottery is not won, the navigation effect is a message such as “Middle right!” Or “Middle right!” Or “Middle right!” The message “Right Left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the normal + special replay 10 is won and the navigation stock lottery is not won, a navigation effect such as “left middle right!” Or “left and right middle!” Or “right right middle!” Or “right A message such as “middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminding the operation mode for stopping the target role is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being aware of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the promotion replay, the special replay, the bell winning intentionally, the winning of the falling replay, the stop of the transition event, etc., which are intentionally won.

  Next, the flow of control performed by the sub-control unit 91 along with the AT shift will be described with reference to FIG.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes ART confirmation notification when one or more navigation stocks are won in the navigation stock lottery, and starts AT control. After that, a special replay is won and the control of ART is started by shifting from RT2 to RT3. The number of navigation stock is decremented by 1, and the initial number of games (50 games in this embodiment) is set as the actual number of remaining games. Then, the set number of remaining games is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as the number of remaining games to be displayed.

  In a game during ART, it is determined whether or not any of normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won for each game. I do.

  In the case where Navistock is not won in the Navistock lottery in the game in which any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won, a navigation effect that informs the pushing order in which any of the normal replays 1 to 4 wins is provided. Run.

  In addition, when normal + special replays 8 to 10 are not won in the game during ART, any of special replays 8 to 10 is won, but Navistock is not won in the navigation stock lottery, 1 For each game, the actual remaining game number and the display remaining game number are both subtracted by one game.

  Then, when the number of remaining games after subtraction becomes 0, and the actual remaining number of games is not 0, the above-described additional effect is executed based on the actual remaining number of games, and the range of the actual remaining number of games To add the number of remaining games.

  When the number of remaining games after subtraction is 0 and the actual number of remaining games is also 0, it is determined whether or not navigation stock remains. 1 is subtracted, and the initial number of games is set again as the actual number of remaining games, and the actual number of remaining games is displayed as the number of remaining display games, and ART is continued.

  On the other hand, if there is no navigation stock remaining, the end control for notifying the end of a series of ARTs is performed, and then the control of the AT is ended.

  In addition, when one or more navigation stocks are won in the navigation stock lottery in the game in which one of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won, the push order in which the special replay wins, that is, the push order in which 7 matches are selected. The navigation effect to be notified is executed.

  Then, it is determined whether or not a special replay has been won with the execution of the navigation effect. If the special replay has been won with the execution of the navigation effect, the navigation stock winning notification is executed, and the number of remaining games and the remaining display game are executed. Ten games are added for both numbers, and an additional state lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control to an additional state in which an additional number of remaining ART games can be expected.

  In addition, the extra state lottery is performed when the special replay is not won because the stop operation is performed in the push order not following the navigation effect even though the navigation effect is executed by winning the navigation stock lottery. In this case, control returns to normal ART.

  In addition, even if the special replay wins during ART, the extra lottery will be performed when the stop operation is performed in the push order not following the navigation effect, that is, when the normal + special replays 8 to 10 are won. Navistock is not won, and even if a special replay is won even though a navigation effect that informs the push order in which normal replays 1 to 4 win is executed, it will not be performed. Return to control.

  In other words, the extra state lottery is performed only when the special replay is won by executing a navigation effect that notifies the push order in which the special replay wins by winning the navigation stock lottery.

  In the case of winning the added state lottery, the added state winning flag is set in the RAM 91c, and thereafter, the actual remaining game number and the displayed remaining game number are both set to 1 for each game until the determination game determined by the main control unit 41 is reached. Subtract game by game. At this time, 10 games that are the maximum number of games until the determination game at the time of winning a special replay by winning Navistock are added to the actual remaining game number and the remaining display game number, so the number of remaining games until the determination game is reached Is never consumed.

  When the added state is won, that is, when the added state winning flag is set, when the determination game is reached, the specific operation, that is, the MAXBET switch is used during the period from the start of the game until any stop operation is performed. The specific operation request effect that prompts the operation 10 times or more of 6 is executed, and when the specific operation is performed before any stop operation is performed, the added state winning notification that indicates that the added state is won is executed Then, the next game is controlled to be added. At this time, the freeze reservation flag is set when the special replay is won on the main control unit 41 side, and the specific operation is performed in the subsequent determination game, so that the above-described freeze state is controlled in the game where the added state starts. Will be.

  It should be noted that after completion of the added state, the normal ART control is resumed. If any stop operation is performed without performing the specific operation even though the specific operation request effect is executed, the control returns to the normal ART control without controlling the added state. At this time, the freeze state is not controlled in the next game.

  In addition, when the special replay is won along with the execution of the navigation effect and the added state lottery is not won, a specific operation request lottery for determining whether or not to execute the specific operation request effect is performed. In the specific operation request lottery, in addition to whether or not to execute the specific operation request effect, in the case of executing the specific operation request effect, the determination game determined by the main control unit 41 when winning the special replay among 0 to 10 games Any number of games other than the number of games up to is determined as the number of games up to the game (winning game) for executing the specific operation request effect.

  When it is determined that the specific operation request effect is to be executed in the specific operation request lottery, the number of remaining games and the remaining display game for each game until the game (winning game) for executing the specific operation request effect is reached. Subtract both numbers one game at a time. At this time, a game that executes a specific operation request effect by adding 10 games, which is the maximum number of games until the determination game when winning a special replay by winning Navistock, to the actual remaining game number and the remaining display game number (winning game) Since the number of games up to is determined within the range of the maximum number of games up to the determination game, the remaining number of games is not consumed until the game (winning game) for executing the specific operation request effect is reached.

  If the added state is not won, that is, if the added state winning flag is not set, when the game (winning game) for executing the specific operation request effect is reached, any stop operation from the start of the game is performed. When a specific operation is requested to prompt a specific operation, that is, the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 more than 10 times, until a specific operation is performed before any stop operation is performed. The extra state non-winning notification indicating the non-winning is executed, and the control returns to the normal ART control. At this time, since it is not a determination game, the frozen state is not controlled in the next game. In addition, even if the specific operation request effect is executed, the normal ART control is returned to when any stop operation is performed without performing the specific operation.

  Even if a special replay is won, if the added state is not won and the added state winning flag is not set, that is, the Navi Stock lottery is won and the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, and the special replay is won. If you don't win the extra lottery, or if you don't win the Navistock lottery and do a stop operation without following the navigation effect, you will receive a special replay and the freeze control flag will be set on the main control unit 41 side However, even if it reaches the subsequent determination game, the specific operation request effect is not executed. In such a case, the specific game is controlled in the freeze state as a specific operation is performed in the determination game. Being regulated.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when either normal + special replay 8 to 10 is won during ART and Navi stock is won in the navigation stock lottery, as shown in FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b). In addition, a navigation effect that notifies the pressing order in which the special replay wins is executed, and when the player performs a stop operation according to the notified pressing order, the special replay wins and the main control unit 41 side Then, a freeze reservation flag is set, and the number of games up to the determination game is determined. At this time, “Navistock & + 10GGET !!” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the winning of Navistock and the addition of 10 games are notified.

  Then, when the extra state lottery performed at the time of winning the special replay is won, as shown in FIG. 20A, from the game start of the determination game determined by the main control unit 41 until any stop operation is performed. In the period, an image prompting a plurality of operations of the MAXBET switch 6 and “continuous hitting!” Are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a specific operation request effect for requesting a specific operation, that is, a plurality of operations of the MAXBET switch 6. Is executed. Accordingly, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated ten times or more, the liquid crystal display 51 displays “additional state GET !!” to notify that the additional state has been won and the main control unit 41 side. Thus, in the next game, the betting number setting operation or the start operation is controlled to be frozen to delay the activation, and the next game is controlled to be added.

  On the other hand, in the case of not winning the extra state lottery performed at the time of winning the special replay and not winning the specific operation request lottery, it is controlled to the freeze state by not executing the specific operation request effect including the judgment game. Is being regulated.

  Also, when the special operation request lottery is not won in the special replay winning, but the specific operation request lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), a game other than the determination game determined by the main control unit 41 is used. There are a plurality of MAXBET switches 6 on the liquid crystal display 51 during a period from the start of the game (winning game) that executes the specific operation request effect determined in the specific operation request lottery to the time when any stop operation is performed. An image prompting the user to perform the operation and “continuous hitting !!” are displayed, and the specific operation request effect for requesting a specific operation, that is, a plurality of operations of the MAXBET switch 6 is executed. Along with this, when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated ten times or more, “unfortunately” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and it is notified that the added state has not been won, and the freeze state is controlled. Nor. Also in this case, control to the freeze state is restricted by not executing the specific operation request effect in the determination game.

  In addition, if any of normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won during the ART and Navistock is not won in the navigation stock lottery, the navigation effect that informs the pushing order in which the normal replays 1 to 4 are awarded. However, if the player performs the stop operation without following the notified pressing order, as shown in FIG. 21, a special replay may be won. In this case, The liquid crystal display 51 displays “Warning, please push according to the navigation!” And a warning screen prompting the stop operation in accordance with the navigation effect is displayed. Even in such a case, when the special replay is won, a freeze reservation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side, and the number of games up to the determination game is determined. By not performing the specific operation request effect in the determination game, the control to the freeze state is restricted.

  In this embodiment, when the special replay is won, the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game in the subsequent game, and when an event such as this occurs, In a configuration that controls to freeze state in a game, if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, and the configuration is always controlled to freeze state in the subsequent game, the situation that you do not want to control to freeze state Even so, it will be controlled to the frozen state.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 wins a special replay that triggers the freeze state, after the start of the subsequent determination game, the period until the operation for stopping any reel is performed. Then, if a specific operation not related to the progress of the game (the MAXBET switch 6 is operated more than 10 times) is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game in the next game, even if a special replay wins, After the start of the determination game, the freeze state is not controlled unless a specific operation is performed during a period from when any reel is stopped. In other words, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, it is controlled to the freeze state on the condition that a specific operation has been performed at a later specific timing, while even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, If a specific operation is not performed at a specific timing thereafter, the freeze state is not controlled.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that notifies the pressing order in which the special replay wins and the normal + special replays 8 to 10 in which the special replay is allowed to win, and the special replay wins. If a special replay is won and the winning state is selected, that is, in a situation where it is permitted to control the next game from the next game of the judgment game to the extra state, after the start of the judgment game after winning the special replay, The specific operation is performed by executing the specific operation request effect that requests the player for the specific operation and prompting the player for the specific operation during the period until the reel is stopped. Can be controlled in the frozen state, but ignore the navigation effect, even though the navigation effect was announced to inform the push order that the special replay does not win If another replay wins, a special replay wins in conjunction with the execution of the navigation effect, but if the additional state lottery is not won, that is, in a situation where it is not permitted to control the next game from the determination game to the additional state , The execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted to the player during the period from the start of the determination game after the winning of the special replay until the operation of stopping any of the reels. Even when a prize is won, it is restricted to control the freeze state. In other words, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, if the freeze state is permitted at a specific timing thereafter, a specific operation request effect is executed, and the game is advanced to the player at the specific timing. While it is possible to control the freeze state by encouraging specific operations that are not required to be performed, even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, if the freeze state is not permitted at a specific timing thereafter It is possible to restrict the control to the freeze state by restricting the execution of the specific operation request effect and preventing the specific operation at the specific timing. At this time, since the specific operation is an operation not related to the progress of the game, it is effective that the specific operation is performed at the specific timing by controlling the execution of the specific operation request effect, that is, controlled to the freeze state. Can be regulated.

  Further, in this embodiment, since a plurality of operations of the operation means not related to the progress of the game are applied as the specific operation not related to the progress of the game, the execution of the specific operation request effect is regulated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the freeze state from being controlled by performing a specific operation at a specific timing after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of operations of the operation means not related to the progress of the game are applied as the specific operation not related to the progress of the game. One operation of the operation means that does not may be applied.

  Also, in this embodiment, the freeze state is controlled at the start of the extra state that is advantageous to the player. In other words, the freezing state suggests an advantageous situation for the player. Further, the sub-control unit 91, when the special replay is won in accordance with the execution of the navigation effect but is not won in the added state lottery, that is, when the control is not controlled to the added state, the game other than the determination game after the special replay is won. After the start of the game, the specific operation request effect may be executed during a period until the operation of stopping any of the reels. In such a situation, even if the specific operation is performed, the freeze is controlled in the next game. There is nothing. In this way, in a configuration in which a situation advantageous to the player is suggested by the freeze state, a specific operation request effect can be executed at a timing other than the specific timing after an event that triggers the freeze state occurs. Even in situations where control of the state is not permitted, a specific operation request effect is executed, so that the player's expectation that it is controlled in a frozen state, that is, a situation advantageous to the player Can be increased.

  In this embodiment, the added state is applied as an advantageous situation for the player, but it is advantageous for the player to be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, ART) other than the added state. Such as granting a special privilege. Here, the advantageous state advantageous to the player means that the probability that a display result advantageous to the player is derived, the probability that the display result advantageous to the player is allowed to be allowed is higher than the normal state, This is a state that is advantageous to the player by notifying the operation mode for deriving the display result advantageous to the player. Further, in a configuration that is advantageous for the player by achieving the task by the end of the predetermined state, this predetermined state, that is, a state that is advantageous for the player by increasing the period is applied as the advantageous state. Also good. Further, a privilege advantageous to the player means a right that allows the player to shift to the advantageous state advantageous to the player (winning a lottery for determining whether or not to generate the advantageous state, shifting to the advantageous state. Winning is permitted, etc.), a right to be notified of an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player, a right to be controlled to a gaming state with a high expected value to which a gaming value is given, It may be a privilege that is directly advantageous to the player, such as the right to notify whether or not the gaming state is advantageous to the player, and is not directly advantageous to the player. A benefit that is indirectly advantageous to the player, such as a condition for obtaining the benefit above, may be used.

  Further, in this embodiment, when any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop corresponding to the corresponding winning combination, the special replay wins and the corresponding stop corresponding to the corresponding winning role is achieved. When the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the order, the normal replays 1 to 4 are awarded, while the sub-control unit 91 is selected when any of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won. A Navi Stock lottery will be performed. When Navi Stock is won, a navigation effect will be issued to notify the stop order in which the special replay will win. In addition, when the navigation rendition that informs the stop order in which the special replay wins is executed and the special replay wins, it is allowed to control to the freeze state, While the specific operation request effect is executed in the fixed game, when the special replay wins despite the execution of the navigation effect informing the stop order in which the normal replays 1 to 4 win, the control is set to the freeze state. This is not permitted, and the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted in the subsequent determination game. That is, when the special replay that is an event that triggers the freeze state is allowed, only when the operation mode for winning the special replay is notified, the special replay is allowed to control to the freeze state by winning, Although the specific operation request effect is executed at a specific timing after that, when the special replay wins in spite of the fact that the operation mode for winning the special replay is not notified, it is controlled to the freeze state. Without permitting, the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted at the subsequent specific timing.

  Whether or not to intentionally win a special replay on the slot machine side depending on whether or not to notify the operation mode of the special replay winning when the special replay that is an event that triggers the freeze state is allowed And control to the freeze state only when the slot machine side intentionally wins a special replay, allowing the control to the freeze state, and executing a specific operation request effect at a specific timing thereafter. On the other hand, if the special replay wins despite the fact that the operation mode of the special replay winning is not notified, that is, if the slot machine side unintentionally wins the special replay, control to the freeze state. Is not permitted, and the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted at a specific timing after winning the special replay. In, even if the special replay is won unintentionally on the slot machine side it can be restricted to be controlled in the frozen state.

  Further, in this embodiment, after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, the specific operation that is a condition to be controlled to the freeze state is the operation of the MAXBET switch 6, and a timing other than the specific timing, that is, an operation for setting the number of bets Since it is an operation for advancing the game during the period in which the game can be accepted, the operation of the operating means originally provided for advancing the game can be used as a specific operation not related to the progress of the game. If there is an event that triggers the freeze state even though the execution of the specific operation request effect is restricted by setting the operation of the operation unit during the period when the operation of the operation unit is not accepted as a specific operation. It is possible to prevent the freeze state from being controlled by erroneously performing a specific operation at a specific timing after the occurrence.

  In this embodiment, the betting number setting operation can be accepted at a specific timing when the betting number setting operation is not accepted (the period from when the game is started until any reel is stopped). If there is a specific operation, it is applied that the MAXBET switch 6 that is effective for the progress of the game is operated. For example, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in a period in which the stop operation before the game is not effective The operation of the operation means other than the accepting period of the operation means related to the progress of the game, such as the operation of the start switch 7 during the period when the start operation after the start of the game is not valid, is applied as the specific operation If it is a configuration, the operation of the operating means originally provided to advance the game can be used as a specific operation not related to the progress of the game In addition, the operation of the operation means during the period in which the operation of the operation means is not normally accepted is set as the specific operation, so that the execution of the specific operation request effect is regulated, but the freeze state is triggered. It is possible to prevent the freeze state from being controlled by performing a specific operation by mistake at a specific timing of occurrence of the event.

  In this embodiment, the operation of the operation means other than the period during which the operation means related to the progress of the game can be accepted is applied as the specific operation, but the operation of the operation means not always related to the progress of the game is specified. Even in such a configuration, the specific operation is an operation that is not related to the progress of the game, and therefore, the specific operation is performed at a specific timing by restricting the execution of the specific operation request effect. That is, it is possible to effectively restrict the control to the frozen state.

  In this embodiment, the determination game after the special replay winning that is an event that triggers the freeze state, that is, a game that is controlled to the freeze state by performing a specific operation in the game is 0 to 10 It is determined randomly within the game range, and after the event that triggers the freeze state, the period until the specific timing that is controlled to the freeze state by performing a specific operation is randomly Therefore, it is difficult to specify the specific timing after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, and the slot machine can be prevented from being unintentionally controlled to the freeze state.

  In this embodiment, as a specific timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state, a determination game after the game, more specifically, after the start of the determination game, until any reel is stopped. However, the specific timing may be the timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state, for example, the event that triggers the freeze state ends the game after the game starts. If the event occurs before, the timing after the occurrence of the event in the game in which the event occurred (after the internal lottery in the game where the specified role is won when the winning of the specified role is an event that triggers the freeze state) The period until any one of the reels is stopped may be applied as the specific timing.

  Also in such a configuration, the specific timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state changes randomly (for example, if the winning of the specific role is an event that triggers the freeze state, After the internal lottery in the winning game, the timing until the first stop operation, the timing until the second stop operation after the first stop operation, the third stop operation is performed after the second stop operation It is preferable that the timing determined at random is a timing determined at random, etc., and the operation is controlled to the frozen state by a specific operation after the occurrence of an event that triggers the frozen state. Since the period until the specific timing to be changed randomly, specify the specific timing after the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state Doo is difficult, it is possible to prevent the control of the freeze state unintentionally slot machine side.

  In this embodiment, the special replay winning is applied as an event that triggers the freeze state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a specific stop mode other than the special replay is used. Winning a winning combination, winning a lottery that determines whether or not to control to a frozen state, or a plurality of conditions among them may be satisfied.

  In this embodiment, the freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period is applied as a state in which the timing at which the operation related to the progress of the game becomes effective is delayed for a predetermined period. A state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period by invalidating the acceptance of the operation related to the progress of the game may be applied.

  In the present embodiment, the specific operation is not performed at a specific timing after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, thereby restricting the specific operation, but the freeze state is triggered. It is good also as a structure which regulates that specific operation is performed by performing the production | generation which requests operation other than specific operation request | requirement in the specific timing after occurrence of an event. Even when an event that becomes a trigger occurs, control to the freeze state can be restricted if the freeze state is not permitted at a specific timing thereafter.

  Further, in this embodiment, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs and a specific operation is performed at a specific timing, the configuration is controlled to the freeze state in the next game of the game in which the specific operation is performed. However, when a specific operation is performed at a specific timing after an event that triggers the freeze state, the game is controlled to be in a freeze state in a game subsequent to the game after the game in which the specific operation is performed. Or when a specific operation is performed at a specific timing after an event that triggers the freeze state, the period until the control is changed to the freeze state after the specific operation is changed randomly It is good also as a structure.

  Also, in this embodiment, a configuration in which the freeze state is controlled in accordance with the character introduction period of the character selection effect described later at the start of the added state advantageous to the player, that is, the start of the gaming state advantageous to the player is suggested. For example, an effect that suggests that the current gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player (high probability state of the navigation stock lottery, etc.), a situation advantageous to the player (Navistock wins) In other words, it is possible to control the freeze state in accordance with an effect other than the character selection effect, such as an effect that suggests the possibility that the player has a favorable situation, or an effect that confirms a situation advantageous to the player (so-called premier effect). good.

  Further, in a freeze state in which the reel stop operation in the progress of the game by the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is invalidated, a reel effect that changes the fluctuation mode of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be executed. good.

  Also, in this embodiment, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, an additional state that is advantageous to the player is won and allowed to be controlled to the additional state. When a specific operation request effect is executed and controlled to a freeze state, even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, an additional state advantageous to the player is not won and control to the additional state is not allowed In addition, the execution of the specific operation request effect at a specific timing thereafter is restricted, and the control of the freeze state is restricted. As described above, the game state (navigation) in which the current game state is advantageous to the player is used. If it is configured to control the freeze state according to the production suggesting that it is a high probability state of stock lottery, etc., an event that triggers the freeze state is generated. In this case, because the game state is controlled to be advantageous to the player, the specific operation request effect is executed at a specific timing thereafter, and the freeze state is controlled, while an event that triggers the freeze state has occurred. Even in such a case, when the game state is not controlled to be advantageous to the player, the execution of the specific operation request effect at a specific timing thereafter is restricted, and the control of the freeze state may be restricted.

  In addition, it is controlled in a frozen state in accordance with an effect that suggests the possibility of a situation advantageous to the player (a situation where Navistock is elected, etc.) and an effect that confirms a situation advantageous to the player (so-called premier effect). If an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the execution of these effects is determined and the execution of the effects is allowed, so that the specific operation request effect is performed at a specific timing thereafter. Even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the execution of these effects is not determined and the execution of the effects is not permitted, but at a specific timing thereafter. The execution of the specific operation request effect may be restricted and the control in the freeze state may be restricted.

  In addition, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, a penalty is generated for the player even if the game state advantageous to the player is won and the player is allowed to control to the advantageous game state. In a state where control to an advantageous gaming state is restricted, the execution of a specific operation request effect at a specific timing thereafter may be restricted, and the control in the freeze state may be restricted.

  In the present embodiment, the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state in the main control unit 41, the presence / absence of a specific operation at a specific timing thereafter, and control of the freeze state are performed, and the sub-control unit 91 sets the freeze state. The main control unit determines whether or not to permit, and the execution control of the specific operation request effect at a specific timing, but among the controls performed by these sub-control units 91, the main control unit It is good also as a structure which 41 performs. Further, if the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to permit the freeze state, the main control unit 41 may perform execution control of the specific operation request effect.

  In addition, in this embodiment, a special replay winning, that is, an event that can be surely recognized by the player, is triggered to perform a specific operation at a specific timing thereafter to be controlled in a frozen state. However, it is good also as a structure controlled to a freeze state by performing specific operation in a specific timing after that when the event which a player cannot recognize reliably generate | occur | produces.

  Hereinafter, a description will be given of a modified example in which a specific operation is performed at a specific timing thereafter to be controlled in a frozen state when an event that the player cannot reliably recognize occurs.

  In this modification, the first lottery combination in which only the first combination is permitted among the first combination (for example, normal replay) and the second combination (for example, special replay), the first combination and the second combination are permitted. A second lottery that allows both of the first and second winning combinations, and when the first lottery is won, the first combination is achieved by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode, while the second lottery When the lottery combination is won, the first combination is obtained by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode, and the second operation is performed by performing a stop operation in a predetermined operation mode different from the specific operation mode. The roles are ready.

  Then, a configuration that prompts a specific operation mode (a navigation effect that notifies the specific operation mode is executed, or an operation mode other than the specific operation mode, particularly an operation in a predetermined operation mode is not recommended to the player. And the like, and the first combination is made even when the first lottery is won and when the second lottery is won.

  In addition, as an event that triggers the freeze state, the first lottery winning is not applied, the second lottery winning is applied, and a specific operation is performed at a specific timing after the second lottery winning. Thus, the freeze state is controlled, and if the specific operation is not performed at a specific timing after the winning of the second lottery combination, the freeze state is not controlled even if the second lottery combination is won.

  At this time, the first combination will be provided both at the time of winning the first lottery that is not an event that triggers the freeze state and at the time of winning the second lottery that is the event that triggers the freeze state. Even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, even if an event that does not trigger the freeze state occurs, the event that the player can recognize (the first role is available) It is impossible to recognize whether or not an event has occurred, that is, whether or not it is controlled to a freeze state by performing a specific operation in the subsequent determination game.

  As described above, in this modified example, the player cannot reliably recognize the event that triggers the freeze state. It is difficult to determine whether or not to do so.

  According to such a configuration, as described above, in a configuration in which a situation advantageous to the player is suggested by the freeze state, an event that does not trigger the freeze state occurs, and an event that triggers the freeze state is Even if the suggested event occurs, the player can feel the player's expectation that it is controlled in a frozen state, that is, a situation advantageous to the player, by executing a specific operation request effect at a specific timing thereafter. Can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the sub-control unit 91 wins a special replay during ART and controls the added state by winning the added state lottery. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 controls to a plurality of added states with different game characteristics. Specifically, the game state is controlled to be added to the game according to the type of the character selected by the player's operation in the later-described character selection effect executed at the start of the added state.

  In this embodiment, there are three types of added states: an added state corresponding to character A, an added state corresponding to character B, and an added state corresponding to character C. The number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state Although the expected value (average value) does not change, the deviation of the number of games from the expected value differs depending on the type.

  As will be described later, an additional lottery 2 is executed to determine whether or not to add the number of ART games in each game in the added state and the number of games to be added, and in the types of the added state in games other than the final game in the added state The winning probabilities for the number of games to be added differ accordingly.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27B, in the extra lottery 2 in a game other than the final game, in the extra state corresponding to the character A, the winning probability of 20 games is set to 100%. In the corresponding added state, the winning probability of 10 games is set to 50% and the winning probability of 30 games is set to 50%. In the added state corresponding to the character C, 0 game is 50% and 40 games is 50%. Is set.

  As described above, in any of the added state corresponding to the character A, the added state corresponding to the character B, and the added state corresponding to the character C, it is based on the winning probability of the added game number in the added lottery 2 other than the final game. The average number of additional games is 20 and is the same, but the difference in the number of additional games based on the winning probability of the additional game number in the additional lottery 2 in games other than the final game (maximum or minimum that can be won) The difference between the number of added games and the average of the number of added games is different, and is 0 in the added state corresponding to the character A, 10 in the added state corresponding to the character B, and in the added state corresponding to the character C. In this case, it will be 20. That is, the deviation of the number of additional games based on the winning probability of the additional number of games in the additional lottery 2 in games other than the final game is set in the order of characters A, B, and C.

  Further, in this embodiment, according to the type of the added state, elements other than the winning probability of the number of added games in the added lottery 2 in games other than the final game, that is, in the added lottery 1 described later performed at the start of the added state. Since there is no difference in the winning probability of the added game number (see FIG. 27A), the winning probability of the added game number in the added lottery 2 in the final game (see FIG. 27A), etc., other than the above-mentioned final game Since the deviation based on the winning probability of the number of additional games in the additional lottery 2 of the game differs depending on the type of the additional state, even in the added state corresponding to any of the characters A, B, and C, Although the average number of games to be added does not change, the deviation of the number of games to be added increases in the order of characters A, B, and C. The smaller the deviation in the number of games added, the easier the number of games actually added will be closer to the average. On the other hand, the larger the deviation, the greater the number of games actually added. It becomes easy.

  For this reason, when the player selects the character A, the game with the highest stability, that is, an increase in the number of games compared to the average cannot be expected, but the increase in the number of games is significantly lower than the average. It becomes possible to play a game with a low possibility of game, and when the player selects the character C, a game with rough waves, that is, an increase in the number of games significantly larger than the average is expected. On the other hand, if the player selects the character B, it is possible to play the game with a gameability in which the addition of the number of games may be significantly lower than the average. The gameplay between C games, that is, the gameplay where the number of games can be expected to be slightly higher than the average, but the number of games may be slightly lower than the average It is possible to perform the over-time.

  As described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to select the type of the added state in which the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is different depending on the player's selection, and the player is expected to add in the added state. A game with a relatively large deviation in the number of games that can be played, that is, a high risk / high return game, a game with a relatively small deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in an added state, that is, a low risk / low return game It is possible to select a game according to a player's preference from a plurality of game characteristics including a sex.

  Also, even if the deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state differs depending on the type of added state, the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is the same regardless of the type of added state. Regardless of the type of additional state selected by the player, the advantage is not affected, and there is no unfairness depending on the result of selecting the type of additional state.

  In this embodiment, the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is the same regardless of the type of added state. However, even if it is not completely the same, the added number is not related to the type of added state. If the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the state is substantially the same (about + -1% or less), similarly to the above, there will be no unfairness depending on the result of selecting the type of the added state. .

  In this embodiment, the average number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state based on the winning probability of the added number of games in the added lottery 2 in games other than the final game is the same or abbreviated regardless of the type of added state. The difference between the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is different depending on the type of the added state, but at least the average advantage of the added state is the same or approximately regardless of the type of the added state It is only necessary that the deviation of the added state advantage is different depending on the type of the added state.For example, the average of the added state advantage is calculated based on the winning probability of the navigation stock lottery in the added state. A configuration that is the same or substantially the same regardless of the type of the added state, and that the deviation of the advantage of the added state varies depending on the type of the added state It may be.

  Further, in this embodiment, the number of games is applied as the ART termination condition, and an increase in the number of ART games can be expected in the added state. However, the planned payout number or the planned net increase number is applied as the ART termination condition. In other words, in other words, when the total payout number during ART exceeds the planned payout number or the net increase number during ART exceeds the planned net increase number as an end condition, the planned payout number or the planned net increase number in the added state A lottery to determine the number of extras, and based on the winning probability at that time, the average of the advantages of the added state is the same or substantially the same regardless of the type of added state, and the deviation of the added state of advantage is ART It is good also as a structure made to differ according to the kind of.

  Also, in this embodiment, in the added state in which an additional number of ART games advantageous to the player can be expected, the type of the added state can be selected, and the average number of games that can be expected to be added is determined regardless of the added state type. It is the same or substantially the same, and the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is made different depending on the type of added state, but in the advantageous state such as ART that is advantageous to the player, the type of advantageous state The average of the advantages of the advantageous state (the number of games that can be expected to be added in the advantageous state, the number of Navistock, the planned payout number, the planned net increase number, etc.) is the same or substantially the same regardless of the type of the advantageous state, And it is good also as a structure which changes the deviation of the advantage of an advantageous state according to the kind of advantageous state, even when it is such a structure, By making it possible to select a type of advantageous state with a difference in advantage depending on the selection of the engineer, the player can play a game with a relatively large advantage difference in advantageous state, that is, high risk / high return. Ability to select a game according to a player's preference from a plurality of games including a game, a game with a relatively small difference in advantage, that is, a low risk / low return game, Even if the deviation of the advantage differs depending on the type of the advantageous state, the average of the advantage is the same regardless of the type of the advantageous state. Therefore, regardless of the type of the advantageous state selected by the player, the advantage There is no influence, and it does not become unfair according to the result of selecting the kind of advantageous state.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a character selection effect for selecting one of the characters A, B, and C at the start of the added state.

  Depending on the characters A, B, and C selected in the character selection effect, the character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 changes in the subsequent addition state, and the effect content is changed. Since the game is controlled to be in an added state with different game characteristics depending on the character, the character selection effect is not only the effect content but also the effect for selecting the game property.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the flow of the character selection effect.

  When the starting condition for the added state is satisfied (when a specific operation is performed in the determination game after the special replay winning), the sub-control unit 91 performs the character selection effect after the game where the starting condition for the added state is satisfied. Start.

  The character selection effect is composed of a character introduction period that introduces each character and the corresponding game content, and a character selection period during which the character can be actually selected. Control over the period.

  In the character introduction period, as shown in FIGS. 23A to 23C, the character introduction screens are sequentially displayed in the order of character A, character B, and character C over a predetermined time (3 seconds in this embodiment). This is displayed on the display 51.

  In the introduction screen of the character A, as shown in FIG. 23A, the image of the character A, the “stable type” that is the playability corresponding to the character A, and the extra lottery in the extra state corresponding to the character A As a feature of 2, “Always add 20 games!” Is displayed. On the introduction screen of the character B, as shown in FIG. 23B, the image of the character B and the gameability corresponding to the character B are “ “Balance type” and “10 or 30 games added!” Are displayed as the characteristics of the extra lottery 2 in the extra state corresponding to the character B. On the introduction screen of the character C, as shown in FIG. As the characteristics of the image of the character C, the “rough wave type” that is the playability corresponding to the character C, and the extra lottery 2 in the added state corresponding to the character C, “0 or 4” Game plus! "Said, is displayed.

  Next, when the display of all the introduction screens of the characters A, B, and C is finished in the character introduction period, the character selection period starts.

  In the character selection period, as shown in FIGS. 23D to 23F, the character selection screen of the character A with the smallest deviation in the number of games added in the added state (additional image for prompting the determination operation is added to the character introduction screen) Are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 while switching the character selection screens in the order of character B and character C at regular intervals. After the character selection screen for character C is displayed, the screen returns to the character selection screen for character A again and loops until any character is selected.

  If the display of the character selection screen for the characters A, B, and C is looped, and the re-game player has not won a prize in the immediately preceding game, setting of bets by inserting medals or operating the MAXBET switch 6 When the operation is specified, the type of the character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state, and if the re-player is won in the immediately preceding game, the MAXBET switch When the operation No. 6 is specified or the start operation of the next game is specified, the type of the character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state.

  Then, the determined character type is set in the RAM 91c, and an effect corresponding to the character type set in the RAM 91c in the subsequent addition state is executed.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 26, a specific battle effect is executed during an added state in which a character corresponding to the type of character set in the RAM 91c appears. In FIG. 26, the display mode of the liquid crystal display 51 by the battle effect corresponding to the character C is shown. In the battle effect corresponding to the character A, the character A appears in place of the character C. In the battle effect corresponding to, the display mode is such that the character B appears instead of the character C.

  Further, in the extra state, as described above, the extra lottery 2 is performed with the winning probability corresponding to the character type set in the RAM 91c in each game other than the final game.

  Once the character type is selected and confirmed in the character selection effect, it cannot be changed to another character until the added state is completed.

  When an error state occurs during the execution of the character selection effect, that is, when an error command indicating the start of the error state is received from the main control unit 41, an error notification effect is executed, and thereafter the error state effect is displayed. When an error command indicating cancellation is received and the character selection effect is restored, if the error state starts during the character introduction period, the character A and the character B and C introduction screens are resumed. If the error state starts during the character selection period, the character A selection screen is resumed and the A, B, and C character selection screens are looped again. It will be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 does not win any winnings except in certain cases as described above. While the bet number setting operation by the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 is valid, when a special replay is won, after the start of the subsequent determination game, until a reel is operated to stop. As shown in FIG. 24A, when a specific operation (operation of the MAXBET switch 6 is performed 10 times or more), when no winning combination is won in the determination game, or when a small winning combination is won. In addition, after winning the prize, control is made to a freeze state that delays the activation of the betting number setting operation over the same time as the time required for the character introduction period constituting the character selection effect described later. Since the bet number setting operation is invalidated during the period until the freeze state ends, even if a medal is inserted during this period or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the medal is returned, The betting number setting operation by the MAXBET switch 6 is not accepted effectively, and the betting number is not set.

  On the other hand, as described above, the character selection effect is executed when the start condition of the added state is satisfied, that is, when a specific operation is performed in the determination game after the special replay winning, but after the special replay winning At the end of the game in which the specific operation is performed in the determination game, the freeze state is controlled for the same period as the character introduction period. Even if it is operated, it is not accepted as an operation for setting a valid bet number, the bet number is not set, and the character displayed at that time is not fixed, and the character introduction period continues. It will be.

  Also, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 automatically sets the same number of bets as the previous game immediately after the game ends when the re-gamer wins except for a certain case as described above. The start operation of the next game becomes valid, but when the special replay is won, the specific operation (MAXBET) is performed during the period from the start of the subsequent determination game to the stop operation of any reel. When switch 6 is operated 10 times or more), when the re-gamer wins in the determination game, as shown in FIG. 24B, immediately after winning, the same number of bets as in the previous game Although it is set automatically, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation over the same time as the character introduction period that constitutes the character selection effect described later. Has become and, since the start operation over a period of up to the freeze state is completed is disabled, the start operation is not being effectively accepted be the start operation during this time, that there is no also to start the game.

  On the other hand, as described above, the character selection effect is executed when the start condition of the added state is satisfied, that is, when a specific operation is performed in the determination game after the special replay winning, but after the special replay winning At the end of the game in which the specific operation is performed in the determination game, the freeze state is controlled for the same time as the character introduction period. Therefore, even if the start switch 7 is operated during the character introduction period, it is not accepted as an effective start operation. The game will not start and the character displayed at that time will not be confirmed, and the character introduction period will continue. In the character introduction period, not only the start operation but also the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 does not determine the character displayed at that time, and the character introduction period continues.

  In other words, during the character introduction period, the character selection operation becomes invalid, and after the character selection period, the character displayed at that time is selected by the operation of the MAXBET switch 6, the start operation, or the betting number setting operation. Is possible.

  In addition, when an error occurs during the period during which the main control unit 41 is controlled to the freeze state, and the error is controlled to the error state, the main control unit 41 does not depend on the time when the error is controlled and the freeze state is controlled before the error. From the time of return, control is again made into the frozen state for the same time as the character introduction period. On the other hand, if an error occurs during the character introduction period and the sub-control unit is controlled to be in an error state, the character introduction period starts from the beginning, that is, from the character introduction screen corresponding to character A after the error is restored. Even after the error is restored, the character selection operation becomes invalid during the character introduction period, and after the character selection period, the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the start operation, or the bet number setting operation. The character displayed at the time can be selected.

  In this embodiment, as described above, a plurality of types of character selection screens are sequentially switched at regular intervals during the character selection period of the character selection effect at the start of the added state, and the player selects the character selection screen corresponding to the desired character. When a determination operation is performed in a state where is displayed, any one of a plurality of characters can be selected. On the other hand, the number of games that can be expected to be added corresponding to a plurality of types of characters, that is, the types of added states with different deviations in the benefits of the added states, are determined, and the player selects the character and then It is possible to select a type of added state in which the deviation of the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is different, and the player can play a game with a relatively large deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, High-risk / high-return gameplay, gameplay with a relatively small deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, multiple games including low-risk / low-return gameplay, depending on the player's preference The game can be selected.

  However, in such a configuration, the player does not understand the relationship between the character and the gameability, and as a result of appropriate operation, the player selects the character corresponding to the low-risk, high-risk, high-return gameability. In such a case, there is a case where the number of games is rarely increased in the subsequent addition state, and in such a case, the interest may be reduced.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the character selection screen of the character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state during the character selection period in which the character can be selected by the character selection effect. First, the character selection screen is sequentially switched in the order of character B and character C. After the character selection period starts, even if the player unintentionally performs a determination operation, the added state is displayed. Since the character corresponding to the game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the game, that is, the game with the highest stability, is selected, the player has a high risk and low stability without understanding the game It is possible to prevent the selection of high return gameability.

  Further, when an error state occurs during the character selection period, when the error is canceled and then the character selection period is restored, the selection screen for characters B and C is displayed when the error state occurs. Even after the return, the character A resumes from the character selection screen of the character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state. The selection screen is switched, and after returning from the error state, even when the player unintentionally performs a decision operation, the gameability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, Since the character corresponding to the most stable gameplay is selected, the player can maintain stability without understanding the gameplay. So that the can be prevented by selecting a game of low high-risk, high-return.

  Further, in this embodiment, a bet number setting operation or a start operation, that is, an operation for advancing the game is performed during the character selection period, so that the character corresponding to the character selection screen displayed at that time is selected. Thus, it is possible to select a character and advance the game without performing an operation separately from the game progress operation. On the other hand, in such a configuration, the player selects the character unintentionally as a result of performing the betting number setting operation or starting operation in order to advance the game without recognizing the character selection operation. However, as described above, the character selection screen of the character A corresponding to the game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state in the character selection period is first displayed. The game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state even if the player performs the game unintentionally after the start of the character selection period and performs the betting number setting operation or starting operation. Character, that is, the most stable game character is selected, so that the player has low stability without understanding the game property. So that the it can be prevented by selecting a game of high-risk, high-return.

  Further, in this embodiment, when performing a character selection effect, if the re-game player has not won a prize in the previous game, when a bet number is set by inserting a medal or operating the MAXBET switch 6, If the type of the character displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state, and the re-game player wins in the previous game, is the operation of the MAXBET switch 6 specified? When the start operation of the next game is specified, the character type displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that time is determined as the character in the added state.

  That is, when the re-game player wins in the immediately preceding game, the MAXBET switch 6 is not activated and only the start operation is valid, while the re-game player has not won the game (whether the small game player has won a prize) In this case, the MAXBET switch 6 is activated. In any case, the character type is selected by operating the MAXBET switch 6. It has become. For this reason, regardless of the type of winning combination in the previous game or the presence or absence of winning combination, the type of character is selected by performing a common operation, and the type of character that the player does not intend by mistake is selected. It is possible to prevent selection.

  In the present embodiment, when performing the character selection effect, the MAXBET switch 6 is used as a common operation for selecting the character type regardless of the type of the winning combination in the previous game or the presence or absence of the winning combination. However, the above effect can be obtained if the character selection is performed by a common operation regardless of the type of the winning combination in the previous game or the presence or absence of the winning combination. For example, the start operation may be applied as a common operation for selecting the character type regardless of the type of the winning combination in the previous game or the presence or absence of the winning combination.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when any character is selected in the character selection effect, not only the playability corresponding to the selected character but also the character corresponding to the type of the selected character appears. It is possible to recognize which character is set during the added state, that is, which type of added state is controlled.

  In the present embodiment, the type of the added state is suggested by executing a battle effect in which a character corresponding to the selected character type appears, but at least during the added state, the player selects In the same manner as described above, which character is set during the added state, that is, which type of added state is controlled, For example, it may be configured such that the type of the added state is suggested by the lighting color or lighting mode of the LED, BGM output from the speaker, or the like.

  Also, in this embodiment, once a character is selected in the character selection effect at the start of the added state, it is a configuration that cannot be changed to another character in the added state, but before the added state ends, for example, A configuration may be adopted in which a character is selected again, for example, by pressing and holding the effect switch 56, that is, the gameability in an added state can be selected. In such a configuration, once a character is selected, it is preferable that the character cannot be changed until the prohibition period (for example, 3 games) elapses. When selected, it is necessary to digest the added state with the gameability corresponding to the character at least until the prohibition period elapses. Therefore, the importance of selecting the character, that is, the gameability of the added state in the character selection effect is increased. As a result, the interest in character selection effects can be enhanced.

  In this embodiment, a character selection screen corresponding to a plurality of types of characters in the character selection effect is automatically switched and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at regular intervals, and any one of these character selection screens is displayed. The character corresponding to the character selection screen displayed at that time is selected by performing a determination operation (a betting number setting operation, an operation of the MAXBET switch 6 or a start operation) in a state where For example, a plurality of characters are displayed, one character is displayed in a specific mode different from other characters, and a character that is in a specific mode is sequentially switched and displayed every predetermined time, and a determination operation is performed. Therefore, it is possible to select a character corresponding to the character selection screen displayed at that time. Even in such a configuration, the character A corresponding to the gameability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state is first specified as the character that is displayed in a specific manner first after the transition to the character selection period. When the player performs an unintentional determination operation after the start of the character selection period by sequentially switching the character B and the character C in the order of the specific mode. However, since the game character with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state, that is, the character corresponding to the most stable game property is selected, the stability of the player can be improved without understanding the game property. It is possible to prevent selecting a low risk / high return game.

  In addition, when the player performs a change operation different from the determination operation in the character selection effect, a plurality of types of character selection screens can be arbitrarily changed, and this corresponds to the character selection screen displayed when the determination operation is performed. The configuration may be such that a character is selected, and even in such a configuration, the game selection with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added in the added state as the first character selection screen displayed after the transition to the character selection period is achieved. By displaying the character selection screen of the corresponding character A and performing the change operation in this state, the player can change to the character selection screen corresponding to the character B or the character C. Even if a decision operation is performed unintentionally, The game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be waited for, that is, the character corresponding to the game with the highest stability, is selected, so that the player has a low risk of high risk and high return without understanding the game. It is possible to prevent the game from being selected.

  In addition to displaying a plurality of characters, one character is displayed in a specific manner different from the other characters, and the player performs a change operation different from the determination operation in the character selection effect, thereby displaying in a specific manner. The character to be displayed can be arbitrarily changed, and the character displayed when the determination operation is performed may be selected. Even in such a configuration, the character is added in the initial state after the transition to the character selection period. Character A corresponding to the gameability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected is displayed in such a manner that it can be specified, and in this state, the character A can be changed to Character B or Character C by performing a change operation. Even if the player unintentionally performs a decision operation after the start of The game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected is selected, that is, the character corresponding to the game with the highest stability is selected. It is possible to prevent selection of the return gameability.

  Further, in this embodiment, a start operation for advancing the game, a setting operation for the number of bets, and an operation of the MAXBET switch 6 unrelated to the progress of the game are applied as the determination operation when determining the character. Applying the operations of the switches provided only for the production, such as the operation of the start switch 7 in a state unrelated to the progress of the game, the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the production switch 56, etc. Also good.

  In this embodiment, the character selection effect is composed of a character introduction period that introduces each character and the corresponding game content, and a character selection period in which a character can be actually selected. It is also possible to adopt a configuration consisting of only the character selection period, that is, a configuration in which the character can be selected simultaneously with the character selection effect. By displaying the character selection screen of the character A corresponding to the playability with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected, and then sequentially switching the character selection screen in the order of the character B and the character C, After starting, even if the player unintentionally performs a decision operation, the added state The game with the smallest deviation in the number of games that can be expected to be added is selected.・ It is possible to prevent the selection of high return gameability.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a special replay is won, a specific operation (operation of the MAXBET switch 6 is performed 10 times or more) after a determination game is started until a stop operation of any reel is performed. In the case where the main control unit 41 controls to the freeze state in which the acceptance of the start operation is invalidated for the same time as the character introduction period after the determination game ends, the character selection effect is as described above. In the configuration including only the character selection period, there is no need to provide a configuration for controlling the freeze state.

  Also, in this embodiment, an applied state is applied as a gaming state having a difference in advantage depending on the type of character selected by the player, that is, a gaming state in which an additional number of ART games can be expected than during normal ART is applied. However, it is not limited to the added state, and any gaming state in which the deviation of the advantage differs depending on at least the type of character selected by the player, and the probability of winning the specific role is higher than usual, More game value than usual by notifying information advantageous to the player, such as an operation mode for deriving a stop mode (either a winning mode or a non-winning mode) that is advantageous to the player A gaming state that can be expected to be acquired may be applied. For example, the winning probability of an ART in this embodiment, that is, a winning combination of a re-gamer is higher than usual, and a winning combination of a small role The player a bonus game in which winning probability of the game state and the small role that increase than usual increases may be applied as a different gaming state deviation of the advantageous degree depending on the type of character you have selected. Further, it is not always necessary to be in a gaming state in which more gaming value can be expected than usual.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, in the character selection effect at the start of the added state, a plurality of types of character selection screens are sequentially switched at regular intervals, and the player selects a character selection screen corresponding to a desired character. In this state, a decision operation is performed, so that any character can be selected from a plurality of characters, and the gameability in the subsequent added state differs depending on the selected character. The player does not always perform the decision operation after understanding the gameability and the contents of the production according to the character, and the decision operation without grasping the gameability and the content of the production corresponding to the character selected by the player As a result, gameability and performance unintended by the player may be determined.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the character selection effect is composed of a character introduction period that introduces the contents of each character and the corresponding gaming property, and a character selection period that can actually select a character, After the start of the character selection effect, each character and the corresponding game content are first introduced in the character introduction period, and then the character selection period can be entered to actually select the character. The characters that can be selected and the content of the corresponding game can be made known. Since the determination operation is invalidated during the character introduction period, the character is not determined even if the determination operation is performed during the character introduction period. It is possible to prevent the character from being determined without knowing, the production of the contents not intended by the player, or the extra game state not intended by the player from being executed.

  In addition, when an error occurs during the character introduction period, when returning to the character introduction period after canceling the error, even after the character introduction period, , Restart from the beginning of the character introduction period, and then after all the character introduction screens are displayed, the character selection period is entered and can be selected in the character selection effect even after returning from the error state It is possible to make known the character and the corresponding game content. In addition, since the determination operation is invalidated even during the character introduction period after returning from the error, the character is not determined even if the determination operation is performed during the character introduction period. It is possible to prevent the character from being determined without knowing the content of the sex, the production of the content not intended by the player, or the added state of the gameability not intended by the player.

  In this embodiment, the character introduction screen corresponding to all the characters that can be selected in the subsequent character selection period in the character introduction period is displayed for a certain period of time, that is, all the selectable characters and the corresponding characters are displayed. Since the determination operation is invalidated until the introduction of the game content, the character is selected without knowing all the selectable characters and the game content corresponding to the character in the subsequent character selection period. Can be prevented.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described above, the character selection screen displayed at that time is displayed by performing an operation for setting or starting the betting amount, that is, an operation for advancing the game during the character selection period. The character corresponding to is selected, and the character can be selected and the game can be progressed without performing an operation separately from the progress operation of the game. On the other hand, in such a configuration, the player selects the character unintentionally as a result of performing the betting number setting operation or starting operation in order to advance the game without recognizing the character selection operation. However, by controlling to the frozen state during the character introduction period, the bet number setting operation and start operation are invalidated, so that the number of bets can be used to advance the game unintentionally by the player. Even when the setting operation or the start operation is performed, it is possible to prevent the player from selecting a character unintentionally.

  In the present embodiment, at the start of the added state, the game selection in the added state is selected by selecting any one character from a plurality of types of characters in the character selection effect. For example, any of the types of production contents that differ in the frequency of specific productions suggesting characters, motifs, special roles, ARTs, general roles, etc. It is good also as a structure which selects the kind of production content. In this case, the trigger for executing the character selection effect is not limited to the start of the gaming state to which the gameability and the content of the effect corresponding to the character are applied. In addition, in the configuration for selecting game characteristics, it is not always necessary to perform different effects depending on the game characteristics, and only the game characteristics differ depending on the selected character and the like, while common effect contents are applied. It may be configured.

  Further, even in a configuration in which the effect content is simply selected by the character selection effect, after the character introduction period, the character corresponding to a predetermined character among the characters corresponding to a plurality of types of effect content in the character selection period. It is preferable to display the character selection screen first, so that after the character introduction period, the first selectable character will be fixed, so that the player will accidentally select an unintended character. Can be prevented. In addition, even after the end of the error state that occurred during the character selection period, the character selection screen corresponding to one predetermined character among the characters corresponding to the plurality of types of effect contents is displayed first in the character selection period. Preferably, after the character introduction period, the first selectable character is fixed, so that the player can be prevented from selecting an unintended character by mistake.

  Furthermore, in such a configuration, it is preferable that the character selection screens are displayed in the order introduced during the character introduction period, which makes it more effective for the player to select an unintended character by mistake. Can be prevented.

  In addition, as described above, when the re-game player wins in the previous game, the MAXBET switch 6 is not activated, and only the start operation is valid, while the re-game player has not won the game. The MAXBET switch 6 is activated in the case where the small role has won or none of the roles has been won, but even in the configuration in which the effect content is simply selected by the character selection effect, Regardless of whether or not the re-game player has won a prize in the immediately preceding game, it is preferable to select the character type by performing a common operation (for example, the MAXBET switch 6). Regardless of the type of the winning combination or whether or not the winning combination has been won, the character type will be selected by performing a common operation and the player will be mistaken. It can be prevented by selecting the type of unintended character.

  In this embodiment, in the character introduction period, after the character introduction screens corresponding to all the characters that can be selected in the subsequent character selection period are displayed, the character selection period is entered, and any character can be selected. After the character introduction period corresponding to the character A, the character selection period corresponding to the character A is entered, and then the character introduction period corresponding to the character B and the character selection corresponding to the character B are sequentially performed. It is also possible to adopt a configuration that shifts in order of the period, the character introduction period corresponding to the character C, and the character selection period corresponding to the character C, that is, the character introduction period and the character selection period are sequentially switched for each character. Character selection Effect details of the character just prior to the selectable character in the period that is introduced, it is possible to select a character while accurately grasping effect contents of the character to be selected.

  Further, in this embodiment, the character introduction period is controlled only in the character selection period at the start of the added state, and the determination operation is invalidated during that period. As described above, the character selection effect is performed after the additional state starts. In the configuration in which the character selection effect is performed, the character introduction period may be controlled during the character introduction period, and the determination operation may be invalidated during that time. In such a configuration, an operation not related to the progress of the game is applied as the determination operation, and the determination operation may be invalidated during the character introduction period.

  Also, for example, after being controlled to the frozen state at the start of the added state, each time a predetermined number of games is reached, the freeze state is controlled for the same time as the character introduction period, and after the added state is started Each time the predetermined number of games is reached, the character selection effect is executed, so that the bet number setting operation and the start operation are invalidated during the character introduction period of the character selection effect, thereby determining the character. A configuration may be adopted in which the operation is invalidated.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 41 manages the added state. However, the main control unit 41 manages the added state, and when a set of the added state is finished, the division in the added state is not performed. In the game, the game is controlled to be frozen for the same period of time as the character introduction period, and the character selection effect is executed after the end of the segmented game. A configuration may be adopted in which the character determination operation is invalidated by invalidating the operation.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 wins one of the normal + special replays 8 to 10 during ART, and performs an extra state lottery when the special replay wins along with the execution of the navigation effect. It is controlled to the added state by winning.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the added state, the added lottery 1 is first executed, and the number of games in the added state (10 games in this embodiment) is set in the RAM 91c.

  In the extra lottery 1, as shown in FIG. 27A, the number of games of any one of 10G, 30G, 50G, 100G, 150G, 200G, 250G, and 300G is determined as the number of games to be added.

  Thereafter, an additional lottery 2 is executed for each game until the number of remaining games in the added state becomes zero. In the extra lottery 2, as described above, in games other than the final game, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), 0G, 10G, 20G, and 30G have a probability corresponding to the character selected by the player at the start of the extra state. , 40G is determined as the number of games to be added, and in the final game in the added state, as shown in FIG. 27A, any game of 50G, 100G, 150G, 200G, 250G, 300G The number of games to be added is determined. In addition, the average value of the number of winning games differs depending on whether it is a final game other than the last game in the added state, and in the latter case, the average value of the number of winning games is set to be higher than in the former case. Yes.

  In each game in the added state, the battle effect shown in FIG. 26, that is, the effect corresponding to the character selected at the start of the added state (the effect corresponding to character C in FIG. 26) is executed. In the battle production, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), the battle production start screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the same time as the start of the game. If not, the defeat pattern shown in FIGS. 26 (b) and 26 (c) (the pattern in which the teammate character eventually loses) is executed, and the number of games is added in the extra lottery 2 in the game except for the final game. In the case of winning, the winning pattern shown in FIGS. 26 (d) (e) or 26 (f)-(h) is executed.

  The winning patterns include the winning patterns (normal) shown in FIGS. 26 (d) and 26 (e) and the winning patterns (special) shown in FIGS. 26 (f) to 26 (h). When the number of games of 30G or more is won in 2, the game is executed with a probability of 1/2.

  In the defeat pattern and the victory pattern (normal), only the result of win / loss (in case of defeat, non-winning win, in case of win, extra win) is suggested, and even if the win pattern (normal) is executed, the number of games won On the other hand, in the victory pattern (special), in addition to the result of winning or losing, the number of winning games is displayed, and the number of winning games can be specified. In other words, when the winning pattern (special) is executed, the number of games won in the game can be specified, but when the winning pattern (normal) is executed, the number of games won in the game cannot be specified. It has become.

  In the final game, the battle effect is executed based on the number of games obtained by adding the number of games determined in the extra lottery 1, that is, the extra lottery executed first in the extra state to the number of games decided in the extra lottery 2. .

  In the extra lottery 1 and the extra lottery 2 of the final game, 10G or more is always won, so in the final game, a victory pattern is always executed.

  In the final game, when the total number of games won in the extra lottery 1 and the number of games won in the extra lottery 2 is 30G or more, the victory pattern (special) is executed with a probability of 1/2.

  Also, during the period controlled to the added state, as shown in FIG. 26, the result of winning or losing in each game is displayed as a history of the added state on a part of the liquid crystal display 51. “X” is displayed for the defeat pattern, “◯” is displayed for the victory pattern (normal), and the number of winning games is displayed for the victory pattern (special).

  Then, in the final game in the added state, at the end of the game (battle effect), the number of games based on the number of games won in the added state is notified, and the added effect for adding the notified number of games to the number of remaining games displayed. Run.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the added state composed of a plurality of games, it is possible to perform the extra lottery 2 for determining the number of games to be added for each game and to determine the additional number of games for each game. Yes.

  In the extra lottery 2 for each game in the extra state, the winning probability for determining the extra number of games in the final game is set higher than in the games other than the final game. That is, since the extra lottery 2 is performed under the most preferential condition in the final game in the extra state, the interest in the extra state can be enhanced regardless of the result of the initial stage of the extra state.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the number of games may not be added depending on the character selected by the player except for the final game in the added state, whereas the number of games is always added in the final game. Therefore, the interest in the final stage of the added state can be further enhanced regardless of the result of the initial stage of the added state.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the winning probability is set so that the average number of winning games is higher in the final game in the added state than in games other than the final game, and the number of games is always added in the final game. Since more games can be expected to be added, the interest in the final stage of the added state can be further enhanced regardless of the result of the initial stage of the added state.

  Further, in this embodiment, at the start of the added state, an additional lottery 1 is performed for determining the additional number of games, and the number of winning games of the additional lottery 1 is the number of winning games of the additional lottery 2 in the final game in the added state. Since it is added and becomes the number of games added to the final game, the interest can be further enhanced toward the final stage of the added state.

  In this embodiment, in the final game, both the probability that the addition of the number of games is won and the number of winning games are favored over the games other than the final game. However, at least in the final game, other than the final game. It is sufficient that the number of games is preferentially given over the number of games, and even if either the probability of winning the number of games or the number of winning games is preferentially given, Regardless of the result, the interest in the added state can be enhanced.

  In this embodiment, the winning probability of the extra lottery 2 is different depending on the character selected by the player in the game other than the final game, but the extra lottery 1 and the final game are added in the game other than the final game. A configuration in which the winning probabilities are set uniformly as in lottery 2 may be used. Also, in the extra lottery 1 and the extra lottery 2 of the final game, similarly to the extra lottery 2 in games other than the final game, the winning probabilities may be different depending on the character selected by the player.

  Also, in this embodiment, when any of normal + special replays 8 to 10 is won during ART and the special replay wins in accordance with the execution of the navigation effect, the extra state lottery is performed and the extra state lottery is won It is configured to be controlled in the added state, but it is controlled in the added state by a trigger other than the above, such as winning a specific combination, winning a specific combination, deriving a specific display mode, etc. It is good also as a structure.

  Further, in this embodiment, an example in which ART is adopted as an advantageous state has been described. However, any other advantageous state, for example, may be used as long as the period is added to the advantageous state period advantageous to the player. A preferential period in a lottery to determine whether or not to grant a right that is advantageous to a player, a gaming state with a higher probability of a predetermined role (a replaying role, a small role, etc. may be a special role) than usual The period may be added to (a period in which a right is likely to be granted, a period in which the average number of rights to be granted is set high), and the like. Further, in a configuration that is advantageous for the player by achieving the task by the end of the predetermined state, the predetermined state may be applied as an advantageous state and a period of the predetermined state may be added.

  In this embodiment, the number of remaining games of ART is added, that is, the number of games in the advantageous state is added. However, any structure may be used as long as the period controlled to the advantageous state is added. It is also possible to add the number of times of notification of the operation mode for avoiding the game, the number of rights (Navistock in this embodiment) for controlling the predetermined number of games to the advantageous state, etc.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the configuration in which the added state is composed of a plurality of games, and an increase in the number of ART games can be expected in each game, the number of games is such that the final game is preferentially given over the games other than the final game. Is added, but the added state consists of a period of one game, and at a plurality of timings of one game (start operation, first stop, second stop, third stop, etc.) Even if it is configured so that the number of games can be expected to be added and the number of games is added under conditions where the final timing is more preferential than timing other than the final timing, regardless of the result of the initial stage of the added state It is possible to enhance the interest in the added state.

  In addition, in this embodiment, in each game in the added state, when the addition of the number of games is won, the fact that the addition of the number of games is won is won except when the battle pattern (special) battle effect is executed. Although notified, the number of winning games is not notified, and the number of games based on the total number of games won in the added state is notified collectively in the added effect executed at the end of the added state. Although it is possible to specify whether or not the game has been added in each of the games in the added state, the number of games won in the meantime is not notified until the end of the added state, so that the interest continues until the end of the added state. be able to.

  In addition, there are victory pattern (normal) and victory pattern (special) in the victory pattern battle effect that is executed when the number of games is won in the added state. When the number of games is won In addition, the battle effect of the victory pattern (special) is executed only when the number of games is 30 games or more, and the battle effect of the victory pattern (special) is executed, so that 30 games or more are added. Therefore, it is possible to effectively increase the expectation that the subsequent ART will continue over a larger number of games.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the winning pattern (special) notifies the number of winning games that are not notified by the winning pattern (normal), and thus further increases the expectation that the subsequent ART will continue over a larger number of games. be able to.

  On the other hand, when the addition of the number of games is won, even if the number of games is 30 or more, the battle pattern of the victory pattern (special) is not executed, and the victory pattern (normal) may be executed. Even if the battle pattern of the victory pattern (normal) is executed, it is preferable because the expectation that the subsequent AT will continue for a larger number of games can be maintained. A configuration in which a victory pattern (special) is always executed in the case of 30 games or more is also possible.

  Also, in this embodiment, over the period of the added state, the result of the battle effect in each game in the added state, that is, the winning result of the extra lottery 2 (defeat pattern: “×”, victory pattern (normal) “O”, victory) Pattern (Special): Number of winning games) is displayed as a history, and the added state progresses while recognizing the result of each game in the added state, thus effectively enhancing the interest of the added state Can do.

  In this embodiment, in the added state, when an additional number of games is won in each game and a battle effect of a victory pattern (normal) is executed, the number of won games is not notified, and the last of the added state The number of games based on the total number of games won in the added state will be notified collectively by the extra effect executed at the time, but each time an additional number of games is won, the winning game is won. It is good also as a structure which alert | reports the number of played games. Even in this case, it is preferable that the total number of games won in the added state is notified at the end of the added state, and in this way, the total number of games notified at each timing of the added state is grasped. In addition, it is possible to give an impression that a larger number of games has been added by notifying the number of games larger than the number of games notified at each timing.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the winning effect of the victory pattern (special) is executed, the number of games won is notified, but the number of games won in the battle effect of the winning pattern (special) is also shown. It is good also as a structure which alert | reports the game number based on the sum total of the number of games elected in the said addition state collectively by the addition production | presentation performed at the end of the addition state, without alerting | reporting.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it may be configured such that all the number of games won in the added state are notified by the added effect executed at the end of the added state, and among the number of games won in the added state Only a part of the information may be notified.

  Further, in this embodiment, the configuration is such that the extra lottery 2 is performed in each game controlled to the extra state, that is, the extra number of games can be determined at each timing of the extra state, but a predetermined opportunity is established. Thus, it is possible to determine a period for adding to the advantageous state (for example, ART), and divide and report the added period determined at a predetermined timing at a plurality of subsequent timings.

  Below, the modification which divides | segments and alert | reports the addition period determined in the predetermined opportunity is demonstrated based on FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration is such that an additional number of games can be determined in each game, but in this modified example, a predetermined opportunity during ART (similar to the first embodiment, normal during ART) + An extra to determine the number of games to be added in the extra state lottery when any of special replays 8 to 10 wins and the special replay wins in accordance with the execution of the navigation effect and wins the extra state lottery A lottery is performed, and the number of games won in the extra lottery is controlled to an extra notification state in which the game is divided and notified over a plurality of games.

  In the additional notification state, first, after setting the number of games to be controlled to the additional notification state (for example, 10 games) in the RAM 91c, the final notification number that is the number of games to be notified in the final game is determined. The final number of notifications is the number of games that occupy a certain percentage (for example, 1/3) of the number of games won in the extra lottery.

  Thereafter, an extra notification lottery is performed to determine whether or not extra notification is performed in each game except the final game in the extra notification state. In the extra notification lottery, the maximum number of games including 0 is determined in the range of the number of games excluding the final notification number from the number of games won in the extra lottery. When 0 is won in the extra notification lottery, the extra effect is not executed, and when the maximum increased number of games other than 0 is determined, the number of games to be added in the range of the determined maximum increased number of games is notified. Add a staging effect.

  Further, in the last game in the extra notification state, the extra lottery is not executed, and the extra effect is executed based on the total value of the final notification number and the number of games that have not been notified in the extra notification state. That is, in the final game, the number of games based on the final number of notifications is at least performed regardless of whether or not the number of games that have not yet been notified in each of the previous games remains.

  Further, in the extra notification state, the extra lottery so that the average value of the number of games notified in the extra effect of the final game is larger than the average value of the number of games notified in the extra effect of the game other than the final game. The final number of notifications based on the number of games won and the winning probability of the additional notification lottery are set.

  Thus, in this modification, after the extra lottery triggered by the special replay winning, in the extra announcement state consisting of a plurality of games, an extra announcement lottery is performed to determine whether or not extra announcement is made for each game, It is possible to make an extra notification for each game for a part of the number of games won by the extra lottery.

  In the extra notification state, in the extra lottery, the average value of the number of games notified in the extra effect of the final game is higher than the average value of the number of games notified in the extra effect of the games other than the final game. The final notification number based on the number of winning games and the winning probability of the additional notification lottery are set. That is, since the largest number of games is easily notified in the final game in the additional notification state, the interest in the additional notification state can be enhanced regardless of the result of the initial stage of the additional notification state.

  In particular, in this modified example, an increase in the number of games may not be notified in cases other than the final game in the additional notification state, whereas an increase in the number of games is always notified in the final game. Regardless of the result of the early stage of the additional notification state, the interest in the final stage of the additional notification state can be further enhanced.

  Further, in this modified example, in the last game in the additional notification state, when the number of games that have not yet been notified in each of the previous games remains, the number of games to which the number of unreported games is added to the final notification number Since the additional notification is performed based on the above, it is possible to further enhance the interest toward the final stage of the additional notification state.

  In addition, in this modified example, in the final game, it is a configuration in which an additional notification is always performed, but even in a configuration in which the possibility that the additional notification is performed is set higher than in a game other than the final game, only the additional notification is performed. Regardless of the early results of the notification state, it is possible to enhance the interest in the additional notification state.

  Also, in this modified example, similarly to the above-described embodiment, it is also possible to have a configuration for displaying the history of the additional notification of each game during the period controlled to the additional notification state. With such a configuration, the additional notification state Since the additional notification state proceeds while recognizing the result of each game, the interest of the additional notification state can be effectively enhanced.

  Moreover, in this modification, it is good also as a structure which alert | reports all the number of games won in the extra lottery in the extra presentation state, and only some of the number of games won in the extra lottery are informed. It is good also as a structure.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.
