Namely, the main control part 41 selects the stop order for determining the ART start from the stop orders other than stop orders with the left reel defined as the first stop.

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 on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer periphery, and first, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. The rotation of the reel is started by setting and setting the specified number of bets to start, and the rotation is stopped by operating a stop switch provided for each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination occurs when a predetermined winning symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a symbol combination) is arranged on the winning line. To do. That is, the game is advanced by the player's operation.

  For these winning combinations, a special role (for example, a bonus) accompanied by a transition to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player, a small role accompanied by a game value such as a medal, or a game without using the game value is used. There is a re-playing role with a re-playing grant that can be played. These winning combinations are generally those that allow the winning combination to be awarded on the condition that a winning lottery performed simultaneously with the start operation is won.

  As this type of slot machine, it is possible to communicate in one direction from the game control means for controlling the game to the effect control means for controlling the effect, and the assist time (which is advantageous for the player on the effect control means side) There is known a slot machine that controls (hereinafter referred to as AT) (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the slot machine of Patent Document 1, the stop switch is operated when the normal replay is won so that the game control means can specify whether or not the effect control means controls the AT, that is, the control state on the effect control means side. The order is determined, and the determined operation order is transmitted to the effect control means. Then, the game control means side determines whether or not the actual operation order by the player matches the transmitted operation order, and if both match, the player operates the stop switch according to the navigation effect. It is determined that the effect control means is controlling the AT, and an external output signal indicating that is output.

The maskable interrupt INT is an interrupt that can permit / prohibit acceptance of an interrupt request by a setting instruction of the CPU 41a, and multiple interrupts can be executed by setting priority. The cause of the maskable interrupt INT is that a low level signal is input to the external maskable interrupt terminal XINT (also used as the input port PI5) for a certain period, a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, the serial communication circuit 512 Multiple types of interrupt factors may be determined in advance, such as the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to data reception or data transmission, or the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to the acquisition of numeric data that is a random value in the random number circuits 508a and 508b. It ’s fine.

  The CPU 41a is a control CPU that executes game control in the slot machine 1 by executing a user program (game control processing program for game control) based on the control code read from the ROM 41b. When such game control is executed, the CPU 41a reads fixed data from the ROM 41b, the variable data writing operation in which the CPU 41a writes various fluctuation data to the RAM 41c and temporarily stores them, and the CPU 41a is temporarily stored in the RAM 41c. A variable data reading operation for reading out various variable data being received, a receiving operation in which the CPU 41a receives input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, the parallel input port 511, the serial communication circuit 512, and the like. However, a transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 through the external bus interface 501, the serial communication circuit 512, the parallel output port 513, and the like is also performed.

  The ROM 41b stores a control code indicating a user program (game control processing program for game control), fixed data, and the like.

  The RAM 41c provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power source. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, at least a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period.

  As the free-run counter circuit 507, four channels of 8-bit free-run counters are mounted.

  The random number circuits 508a and 508b are circuits that generate numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as an 8-bit random number or a 16-bit random number. In this embodiment, the hardware random number generated by the 16-bit random number circuit 508b among the random number circuits 508a and 508b is a random number for internal lottery described later, a random number for freeze lottery described later, and a random number for successful lottery described later. Used. The CPU 41a is used for games by processing or updating various numerical data by software using a random counter different from the random number circuits 508a and 508b based on the numerical data extracted from the random number circuits 508a and 508b. Numerical data indicating all or part of the random number value may be counted. Alternatively, the CPU 41a may count (update) a part of numerical data indicating a random value such as a big hit determination random number by software without using the random number circuits 508a and 508b. As an example, the numerical data extracted by the CPU 41a from the random number circuits 508a and 508b serving as hardware is processed by software to update the numerical data indicating the random numbers for internal lottery, and other random values (for example, described later) The numerical data indicating the random number for freeze lottery and the random number for successful lottery to be described later may be updated by software using the random counter or the like by the CPU 41a.

  The timer circuit 509 is an 8-bit programmable timer, and the main control unit 41 includes three channels of 8-bit counters as the timer circuit 509. In this embodiment, it is possible to perform a real-time interrupt request and time measurement by using a timer circuit 509 and setting by a user program.

  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 RT2), 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 RT2. In initialization 2, there are general work, unused area, and unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, that is, areas 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.

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment outputs an external output signal indicating a gaming state, an error occurrence state, and the like.

  These external output signals are output from the game control board 40 under the control of the main control unit 41, via the information output terminal board (not shown) of the game store (hall) where the external output board 1000 and the slot machine 1 are installed. The data is output to an external device such as a data display terminal installed corresponding to the hall computer or the slot machine 1.

  From the game control board 40 to the external output board 1000, a medal IN signal indicating the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, a medal OUT signal indicating the number of medals given to the player due to the occurrence of a winning, a gaming state Is an RB signal indicating that the RB is being described later, a BB signal indicating that the gaming state is being BB is described later, an RT2 signal indicating one of the start and end of the RT2, and an ART start for each set. ART signal indicating, door opening signal indicating that the front door 1b is being opened, setting change signal indicating that it is shifting to a setting change mode to be described later, insertion error signal indicating abnormality of the medal selector, abnormality of the hopper unit 34 A payout error signal indicating is output.

  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, an ART game number command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning number command, Multiple types including payout start command, payout end command, return command, gaming state command, standby command, ART signal output command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, door command, operation detection command Send the 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. As will be described later, when the normal replay, replay GR11 to 13, and replay GR21 to 23 are won, in addition to the normal replay, replay GR11 to 13 and replay GR21 to 23 being won, the stop order type selected at that time is also selected. It can be specified.

  The freeze command is a command that can specify the type of freeze (control state in which the progress of control is delayed for a predetermined time) (freeze 1, 2, and 3 to be described later), the start of freeze and the time controlled by the freeze. Sent at start.

  In the ART game number command, when the special replay winning is described later, the number of remaining games managed by the main control unit 41 (the number of games until the next freezing 1 described later) is 0, and it is further determined that there is a navigation stock. Sent when the number of ART games is determined by the number-of-games lottery executed.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when 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 gaming state (any one of RT0 to RT3) of the next game, and is transmitted at the end of the game.

  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 ART signal output command is a command that can determine the start of ART for each set on the sub-control unit 91 side, and can specify that the ART signal is output along with this, and is transmitted when the ART signal is output.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after RT2, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the stop state starts, and 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 at regular intervals.

  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 type of the received command 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.

  6 to 8 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT.

  The slot machine in the present embodiment is controlled to any one of RT0 to RT3 as shown in FIG.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the small combinations include a middle bell, a right-down bell, upper bells 1 to 8, a lower cherry, and a one-piece combination.

  The middle bell is awarded when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN, and eight medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bells are arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a middle bell is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  A downward-sloping bell is when any combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” is aligned on the winning line LN. Wins and 8 medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the replay and plum of the left reel 2L are arranged at a position one below the bell, and the replay and plum of the right reel 2R are arranged at a position one above the bell. Therefore, when any combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” is prepared, “Bell-Bell-Bell” ”Are lowered to the right, that is, aligned with the invalid line LM3.

  Further, either the plum or the replay is arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L and the right reel 2R, and the bell is arranged within 5 frames in the middle reel 2C. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a right-down bell is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Next, the upper bells 1 to 8 will be described. The upper bell 1 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 2 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 3 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 4 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 5 is awarded when a combination of “plum-orange-orange” is arranged on the winning line LN. The upper bell 6 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-Orange-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 7 is awarded when a combination of “Plum-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 8 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the replay and plum of the left reel 2L, the BAR and orange of the middle reel, and the BAR and orange of the right reel 2R are arranged at positions one level below the bell. “Orange-Orange”, “Replay-Orange-BAR”, “Replay-BAR-Orange”, “Replay-BAR-BAR”, “Plum-Orange-Orange”, “Plum-Orange-BAR”, “Plum-BAR-” When any combination of “Orange” and “Plum-BAR-BAR” is aligned, the “Bell-Bell-Bell” combination is aligned to the upper stage, that is, the invalid line LM1.

  In the left reel 2L, replays and plums are not arranged within 5 frames, and orange and BAR are not arranged within 5 frames for each of the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R. Therefore, even if one of the upper bells 1 to 8 is won in the internal lottery to be described later, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the winning upper bell configuration symbols must be operated at an appropriate timing. For example, you won't win the winning top bell.

  The lower cherries are awarded when the combination of “BAR-Orange-ANY (ANY can be any symbol)”, “BAR-BAR-ANY”, “BAR-Bell-ANY” on the winning line LN. . When the lower cherries win, two medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, since the BAR of the left reel 2L is arranged one position above the cherry, “BAR-orange-ANY (ANY can be any symbol)”, “BAR- When any combination of “BAR-ANY” and “BAR-Bell-ANY” is prepared, “Cherry” on the left reel stops at the lower stage, and the combination of “Cherry-ANY-ANY” moves up and down to the right, That is, they are aligned with the invalid lines LM2 and LM4.

  In the middle reel 2C, any one of orange, BAR, and bell is arranged within 5 frames, but in the left reel 2L, BAR is not arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, even if the lower cherries are won in an internal lottery to be described later, the lower cherries will not be won if the stop switch 8L corresponding to the left reel 2L is not operated at an appropriate timing.

  One winning combination is awarded when the combination of “Black 7-Cherry-Net 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. When one winning combination wins, one medal is paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the black 7 of the left reel 2L, the cherry of the middle reel, and the net 7 of the right reel are not arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, even if one winning combination is won in an internal lottery to be described later, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R are not operated at an appropriate timing. I won't win a prize.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the re-game player among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the replaying combination includes normal replay, lower replay, falling replay, promotion replays 1 and 2 and special replay.

  The normal replay is awarded when a combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay”, “Replay-Replay-Plum”, “Plum-Replay-Replay”, and “Plum-Replay-Plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. Replays and plums are arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, and right reel 2R. Therefore, as a general rule, it can be said that the normal replay is a role that can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if the winning is made.

  The lower replay includes “Bell-Orange-Orange”, “Belle-Orange-Cherry”, “Belle-Orange-Watermelon”, “Belle-Orange-Black 7”, “Belle-Orange-Net 7”, "Bell-Orange-White 7", "Bell-BAR-Orange", "Bell-BAR-Cherry", "Bell-BAR-Watermelon", "Bell-BAR-Black 7", "Bell-BAR-Net 7" , “BELL-BAR-WHITE 7” combination is awarded.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bell of the left reel 2L is arranged at a position one above the replay or plum, and the orange and BAR of the middle reel 2C are arranged at a position one above the replay. "Bell-orange-orange", "bell-orange-cherry", "bell-orange-watermelon", "bell-orange-black 7", "bell-orange-net 7", "bell-orange-" "White 7", "Bell-BAR-Orange", "Bell-BAR-Cherry", "Bell-BAR-Watermelon", "Bell-BAR-Black 7", "Bell-BAR-Net 7", "Bell-BAR" When any combination of “White 7” is prepared, “Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Cherry / Net 7 / White 7”, “Replay-Plum-Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Chi Lee / Net 7 / White 7 ”,“ Plum-Replay-Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Cherry / Net 7 / White 7 ”,“ Plum-Plum-Replay-Replay-Watermelon / Replay / Plum / Cherry / The combination of “net 7 / white 7” is aligned at the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2.

  Further, in the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel, orange and BAR are arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, orange, cherry, watermelon, black 7, net 7 , One of white 7 is arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when the lower stage replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that the prize can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  The tumble replay is awarded when the combination of “bell-replay-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN.

  Referring now to FIG. 3, the bell of the left reel 2L is located one position above the replay or plum, and the bell of the right reel 2R is located one position below the replay. So, when the combination of “bell-replay-bell” is complete, the combination of “replay-replay-replay”, “replay-replay-plum”, “plum-replay-replay”, “plum-replay-plum” goes up to the right. That is, they are aligned with the invalid line LM4.

  In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, the bell is arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when a fall replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that a prize can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after winning the fall replay at RT0 and RT2, it is controlled to RT1.

  The promotion replay 1 is awarded when a combination of “replay-replay-bell” and “plum-replay-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN. In the left reel 2L, one of the replays and plums is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel 2C, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, the bell is arranged within 5 frames. ing. Therefore, it can be said that, as a general rule, the promotion replay 1 can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if it is won.

  Promotion Replay 2 is when any combination of “Bell-Orange-Replay”, “Bell-Orange-Plum”, “Bell-BAR-Replay”, and “Bell-BAR-Plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. Winning a prize.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bell of the left reel 2L is arranged at a position one above the replay or plum, and the orange and BAR of the middle reel 2C are arranged at a position one above the replay. Since the replay and plum of the right reel 2R are arranged one position above the bell, “bell-orange-replay”, “bell-orange-plum”, “bell-BAR-replay”, “ When the combination of “bell-BAR-plum” is arranged, the combination of “replay-replay-bell” and “plum-replay-bell” is arranged in the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2.

  In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel, orange and BAR are arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, replay and plum are arranged within 5 frames. ing. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when the promotion replay 2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that, as a rule, it can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after winning a promotion replay (promotion replay 1 or promotion replay 2) in RT1, it is controlled to RT0. As will be described later, the promotion replay is set not to win in the internal lottery in RT2 and RT3. For this reason, RT2 and RT3 do not win a promotion replay. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from RT2 and RT3 to RT0, and the promoted replay is awarded only when it is RT1, and is configured to be controlled to RT0 only from that RT1.

  The special replay is awarded when a combination of “bell-replay-replay” and “bell-replay-plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel 2C, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, one of the replays and plums is arranged within 5 frames. ing. Therefore, as a general rule, special replays can be said to be a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if they are elected.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after winning the special replay at RT0, it is controlled to RT2. As will be described later, the special replay is set not to win in the internal lottery in RT1 and RT3. For this reason, the special replay is not won at RT1 and RT3. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from RT1 and RT3 to RT2, and special replay is awarded only when RT0, and is configured to be controlled by RT2 only from RT0.

  Next, the transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the transition items are “replay-orange-bell”, “replay-BAR-bell”, “plum-orange-bell”, “plum-BAR-bell”, “replay-bell-orange”. ”,“ Replay-Bell-BAR ”,“ Plum-Bell-Orange ”,“ Plum-Bell-BAR ”,“ Black 7-Orange-Orange ”,“ Black 7-Orange-BAR ”,“ Black 7-BAR- ” "Orange", "Black 7-BAR-BAR", "White 7-Orange-Orange", "White 7-Orange-BAR", "White 7-BAR-Orange", "White 7-BAR-BAR", "Watermelon -Orange-orange "," Watermelon-orange-BAR "," Watermelon-BAR-orange "," Watermelon-BAR-BAR ". 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.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after the transition outcomes are aligned on the winning line LN in RT0, RT2, and RT3, control is performed to RT1. Note that RT1 is maintained when the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN at RT1.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13, combinations of lottery object combinations that are read out as lottery object combinations for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0, RT1, RT2, or RT3, the winning combination and the winning probability thereof are 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. In FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, “+” is written between winning winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read out in the internal lottery.

  In FIG.11 and FIG.12, a lottery object combination is shown in a vertical column, and a game state is shown in a 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, that is, it is not a lottery target.

  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 “360” is set as the number of determination values is 360/65536.

  11 and 12 show combinations of special combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. 13 shows combinations of combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state.

  When it is RT0, the bell, the left bell 1, the left bell 2, the left bell 3, the left bell 4, the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, and the right bell 3 The right bell 4, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, the single play, the replay GR11, the replay GR12, the replay GR13, the replay GR21, the replay GR22, and the replay GR23 are subject to the internal lottery.

  When it is RT1, 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, weak cherry, strong cherry, single combination, normal replay, replay GR1, replay GR2, replay GR3, replay GR4, replay GR5, and replay GR6 are subject to internal lottery.

  When it is RT2, the bell, the left bell 1, the left bell 2, the left bell 3, the left bell 4, the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, and the right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak cherry, strong cherry, single combination, normal replay, replay GR11, replay GR12, replay GR13, replay GR21, replay GR22, and replay GR23 are subject to internal lottery.

  When it is RT3, 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, weak cherry, strong cherry, one-piece combination, and normal replay are the targets for internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the weak cherry is the lower cherry alone, and the strong cherry is the lower cherry plus one. At the time of weak cherry winning, the strong cherry winning will be stopped if the left reel is stopped at the timing when both are within the pull-in range of “BAR”. At the time, the left reel is set to the first stop, and when “Cherry” stops at the lower stage, control is performed to stop symbols other than “BAR” at the middle stage of the right reel. When “CHERRY” stops at the lower stage, control is performed so that “BAR” can be pulled into the middle stage of the right reel. When the first reel other than the left reel is set as the first stop, the control other than “BAR” is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel as in the case of the weak cherry win.

  For this reason, it is possible to recognize whether the cherry is a strong cherry or a weak cherry depending on whether or not “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the right reel after the left reel is stopped for the first time. On the other hand, if the first stop other than the left reel is used, even if it is a strong cherry, symbols other than “BAR” are stopped in the middle of the right reel, so it cannot be recognized whether it is a strong cherry or a weak cherry. . That is, in the present embodiment, only when the left reel is in the first stop, it can be distinguished and recognized whether it is a strong cherry or a weak cherry.

  In the following, a stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “BAR” stops at the middle stage of the right reel is called strong cherry eye, “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel, and the right reel The stop mode in which symbols other than “BAR” stop in the middle is called weak cherry eyes.

  Note that even when the strong cherry is won and the left reel is in the first stop, only the left reel is stopped when “BAR” is within the pull-in range, and “BAR” is pulled in the right reel. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing that falls within the range, the same outcome as when the weak cherry is won, that is, the weak cherry outcome is derived.

  The bell is a middle bell + a downward-sloping bell. Left bell 1 is right falling bell 5 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8, left bell 2 is right falling bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7, and left bell 3 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3, left bell 4 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells. The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 7 and the middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 8. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells. The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 6 and the right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 8. 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 promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2.

  Replay GR1 is normal replay + promotion replay 1, replay GR2 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, replay GR3 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay, and replay GR4. Is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + lower replay, replay GR5 is normal replay + promotion replay 2, and replay GR6 is normal replay + promotion replay 2 + lower replay.

  The replay GR11 is a fall replay + normal replay, the replay GR12 is a fall replay + normal replay + lower replay, and the replay GR13 is a fall replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1.

  The replay GR21 is special replay + normal replay, the replay GR22 is special replay + normal replay + lower replay, and the replay GR23 is special replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1.

  Thus, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, the regamer that is subject to the internal lottery differs, and depending on whether it is RT0-3, the target regamer and its An internal lottery is performed using lottery tables with different winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 14, a re-game player determined according to the types of 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. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the replay players selected is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, and the normal replay 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. The reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the operation order.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR1 to 6 is won in RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, the promotion replay will be won with a probability of 1/6, and the transition to RT0 Become.

  When replay GR11 (falling replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the order of left middle right or left and right, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, Control to stop the replay combination in line with the winning line LN, and stop the stop replay combination in line with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than left middle right and left and right middle. Do.

  If Replay GR12 (Tumble Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right or middle right / left, that is, if the middle reel is set to the first stop, Control to stop the regular replay combination aligned with the winning line LN, and stop when the stop replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right and middle right left I do.

  If replay GR13 (falling replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is made in the order of right / left / middle / right / left / left, that is, if the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay won If the combination of regular replays in the combination is stopped in line with the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right middle left, then the falling replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the fall replay and the normal 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 fall replay or the normal replay always wins.

  As described above, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to avoid the fall replay in the replays GR 11 to 13.

  Therefore, in RT0 and RT2 for which replays GR11 to 13 are subject to internal lottery, if any of replays GR11 to 13 wins, normal replay wins with a probability of 1/3 and avoids transition to RT1. On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 2/3 and moves to RT1.

  When replay GR21 (special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle right or left and right, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, the special replaying player selected Control to stop the replay combination aligned with the winning line LN, and control to stop the normal replay combination aligned with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than left center right and left and right center. Do.

  When replay GR22 (special replay + normal replay + lower replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right or middle right / left, that is, when the middle reel is set to the first stop, Among these, the special replay combination is controlled so as to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left / right and middle right / left, the normal replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. I do.

  When replay GR23 (special replay + normal replay + promoted replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right / left middle or right / middle / left, that is, when the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay selected The special replay combination of the combination is controlled so as to be stopped on the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the order other than the middle left and right, the normal replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replay and the normal 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, reel control is performed so that special replay or normal replay always wins.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win special replays with the replays GR21 to GR23.

  For this reason, if any one of the replays GR21 to 23 is elected at RT0 in which the replays GR21 to 23 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/3 and shifts to RT2.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 15, a maximum of four small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (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 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 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) 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 a 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 6 or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination 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 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 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the 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 2, the upper bell 4, 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 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 2 (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 3 (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.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) 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 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  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 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the 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 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the 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 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a 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 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of 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 2, the upper bell 8, 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 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.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 In some cases, the upper bells are not aligned and 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 it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is impossible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known. Although a medal can be surely obtained by winning a prize, the upper bell can be won only by 1/4 at a ratio of 2/3, and a medal cannot be surely obtained. In particular, in RT0, 2, and 3, the transition to RT1 is performed when the transition point stops.

  Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

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

  RT0 shifts to when the promoted replay wins in RT1 (when any of the replays GR1 to GR6 wins and the stop operation is performed in the order in which the promoted replay wins). Then, RT0 is terminated regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT0, by transitioning to RT1 by winning a fall replay or stopping the transition, or by transitioning to RT2 by winning a special replay.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT0 is about 1 / 1.4, and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. As described above, only the replays GR11 to 13 and the replays GR21 to 23 are targeted for the internal lottery, and the normal replay, the fall replay, and the special replay can win. Of the combinations that are subject to internal lottery at RT0, replays GR11 to 13 and replays GR21 to 23 are both combinations having the highest winning probability, as shown in FIG.

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

  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, only normal replays and replays GR1 to GR6 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replays, falling replays, and promoted replays can be won.

  RT2 shifts when a special replay wins at RT0. Then, RT2 ends when the fall replay wins or the transition is stopped and the process proceeds to RT1.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT2 is about 1 / 1.13, and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. As described above, only normal replays, replays GR11 to 13 and replays GR21 to 23 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replays, falling replays, and special replays can be won. Of the roles that are the targets of the internal lottery in RT2, the normal replay, replay GR11 to 13, and replay GR21 to 23 are the roles having the highest winning probability, as shown in FIG.

  RT3 shifts after the setting is changed. Then, RT3 ends when the transition is stopped and the transition is made to RT1, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT3.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT3 is about 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, only the normal replays are subject to internal lottery, and only the normal replays can win.

  RT0 and RT0 out of RT0-3 are more advantageous to the player than RT1 and 3 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is high and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and 3 It can be said that it is a state.

  In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 performs 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 production state can be controlled.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG.

  In RT3, when the transition point stops, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In RT3, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop, In RT3 which moved after the end of RB or BB (RB), when any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won, and a small part could not be won , Transition to RT1.

  At RT1, the game proceeds to RT0 when the promotion replay wins.

  Since the replays GR1 to 6 are elected at RT1 and the replay order is correct and the promoted replay is won, at RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are elected and the answer is RT0 by correctly answering in the order of stoppage. Become.

  At RT0, the fall replay wins or the transition is stopped, the process shifts to RT1, and the special replay wins, the process shifts to RT2.

  If the replays GR11 to 13 are won at RT0 and the stop order is incorrect, the fall replay wins. In addition, when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected and the stop order is correct, the special replay is won. In addition, when one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won at RT 0 and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. Therefore, at RT0, replays GR21 to 23 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the process proceeds to RT2, and replays GR11 to 13 are selected and the stop order is incorrect, or left bells 1 to 4, middle If any one of the bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 wins and the small combination cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  At RT2, when the fall replay wins or when the transition is stopped, the process proceeds to RT1.

  If the replays GR11 to 13 are won at RT2 and the stop order is incorrect, the fall replay wins. 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, replay GR 11-13 is won and the stop order is incorrect, or left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 are won and If the prize cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect by winning a navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state when controlled by an AT described later (ART after transition to RT2). The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 6 when RT1, and replay GR11 to 13 and replay GR21 to 23 when RT0. Further, when it is RT2, it is replay GR11-13. In any of RT0 to 2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination. Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in a normal state (RT1 and non-AT state) where neither AT nor ART is controlled.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment is performed by displaying a navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and outputting navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54. As a navigation image, a navigation effect that informs each of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel, that is, a six-choice navigation effect that informs the six stop orders, and a navigation effect that informs only the first stop reel. That is, there are three choices of navigation effects that notify the three stop orders.

  In the six-choice navigation effects, for example, “123” (reel 2L indicates the first stop, reel 2C indicates the second stop, reel 2R indicates the third stop) and “132” (reel 2L indicates the first stop). , Indicating that the reel 2C is in the third stop and the reel 2R is in the second stop), and a press order image indicating the press order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and a character image matching the motif of the slot machine 1 indicate. Also, as the navigation voice, for example, “left middle right!” (Reel 2L indicates the first stop, reel 2C indicates the second stop, reel 2R indicates the third stop) and “left and right middle!” (Reel 2L). Indicates the first stop, the reel 2C is the third stop, and the reel 2R is the second stop). Note that the navigation voice is output only from the stop switch that the player should press first or next. Therefore, if all the reels are rotating, for example, “Left!” Is output first. When the reel 2L is stopped, “Middle!” Is output next. When the reels 2L and 2C are stopped, "Right!" Is output.

  In the three-choice navigation effects, for example, when the replay GR11 or the left bell is won, “1--” or “left--” (indicating that the reel 2L is in the first stop), “-1-”, Stop switches 8L, 8C such as “−medium−” (indicating that the reel 2C is in the first stop), “−−1” or “−−right” (indicating that the reel 2R is in the first stop), A pressing order image indicating the pressing order of 8R and a character image matching the motif of the slot machine 1 are displayed. As navigation voices, for example, “left!” (Indicating that the reel 2L is in the first stop), “middle!” (Indicating that the reel 2C is in the first stop), “right!” (Reel) 2R indicates that the stop is a first stop).

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR1 to GR6, six choices of navigation effects are executed, and a stop order (see FIG. 14) for winning a promotion replay according to the winning situation is notified.

  As a navigation effect when winning the replays GR11 to 13, a six-choice navigation effect is executed, and a stop order (see FIG. 14) for avoiding the fall replay is notified according to the winning situation.

  As the navigation effects when the replays GR21 to 23 are won, six navigation options are executed, and the stop order (see FIG. 14) for winning the special replay according to the winning situation is notified.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a 3 option navigation effect or a 6 option navigation effect is executed, and a stop order (see FIG. 15).

  In addition, when the normal replay is won, the normal replay is always won in any stop order. However, in this embodiment, the three-choice navigation effect or the six-choice navigation effect is executed even when the normal replay is won. May be.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player 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.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, and the bell winning that are intentionally won, the falling replay winning, and the stop of the transitional outcome.

  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.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by the ART (RT2 is controlled by the AT at RT2) when a lottery subject (in this embodiment, a single bell (bell's single winning), weak cherry, strong cherry, 1 piece) is won. Navistock lottery to determine whether or not to control. In the navigation stock lottery at the time of winning the target role, by determining the number of navigation stocks including 0, whether or not to give the number of navigation stocks and the number of navigation stocks are determined.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by ART over a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, the number of ART games determined by the main control unit at the start of one set of ARTs). 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.

  In addition, when the number of navigation stocks remains and when the number of navigation stocks is newly acquired, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks.

  In the present embodiment, the average winning number of navigation stocks in the navigation stock lottery varies depending on the lottery mode managed by the sub-control unit 91 and the type of the role that triggered the lottery.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (a), when the lottery mode is the normal mode, the winning probability of five navigation stocks at the time of winning one sheet is determined to be 100%. Navistock has a winning probability of 90%, Navistock has a winning probability of 5%, Navistock has a winning probability of 3%, Navistock has a winning probability of 1.5%, Navistock 5 The winning probability is set at 0.5%, the winning probability of 0 Navistock at the time of winning a weak cherry is 95%, the winning probability of 1 Navistock is 3%, and the winning probability of 2 Navistock Is 1%, the probability of winning 3 Navistocks is 0.8%, the probability of winning 5 Navistocks is 0.2%, and the winning probability of 0 Navistocks when winning a strong cherry is 50 %, 1 Navistock Selection probability is 30%, Navi stock two winning probability is 10%, Navi stock three winning probability is 8%, Navi stock five winning probability is defined as 2%.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16B, when the lottery mode is the high probability mode, the winning probability of five Navistocks at the time of winning one sheet is determined to be 100%. Navistock has a winning probability of 70%, Navistock has a winning probability of 20%, Navistock has a winning probability of 8%, Navistock has a winning probability of 1.5%, Navistock 5 The winning probability is 0.5%, the winning probability of 0 Navistock at the time of winning a weak cherry is 80%, the winning probability of 1 Navistock is 16%, the winning probability of 2 Navistock Is 3%, the probability of winning 3 Navistocks is 0.8%, the probability of winning 5 Navistocks is 0.2%, and the winning probability of 0 Navistocks when winning a strong cherry is 30. %, 1 Navistock Winning probability is 40%, the navigation stock two winning probability 20%, the navigation stock three winning probability 8%, the navigation stock five winning probability is defined as 2%.

  In other words, when the lottery mode is in the high probability mode except when one lottery is won, the winning probability is determined so that the average number is higher than in the normal mode, and the lottery mode when the lottery opportunity is established is Depending on whether the mode is the high probability mode or the normal mode, the acquisition expectation level of the navigation stock changes.

  If the lottery mode is the same, the winning probability is set so that the average number increases in the order of one, strong cherry, single bell, and weak cherry. Acquisition expectation changes. In particular, in this embodiment, when one sheet is won, five or more navigation stocks are confirmed.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs a high-probability mode lottery that determines the number of games controlled in the high-probability mode when the weak cherry is won, and controls the high-probability mode as the lottery mode for the number of winning games. When the number of games in the high probability mode is newly won in the high probability mode lottery, the number of games in the high probability mode is added. Note that a period in which the high probability mode is not controlled is the normal mode.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the main control unit 41 receives the replays GR1 and 2 that will receive a promotion replay that will shift to RT0 in the order of stop in which the left reel is the first stop in RT1. The winning probability is set to be lower than the winning probabilities of replays GR3 to GR6 for which the promoted replay that shifts to RT0 in the order of stop with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop is won. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the winning probability of the left bells 1 to 4 that makes it possible to reliably win a small combination in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop has the first reel in the middle reel or the right reel. It is set lower than the winning probabilities of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 in which the small combination can be reliably won in the order of stopping.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 stops other than the recommended stop order (in this embodiment, the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop) in a situation where it is not controlled by AT or ART or the navigation effect is not executed. When the stop operation is performed in the order, that is, the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop (hereinafter also referred to as irregular pressing), control is performed for a penalty period for a certain period (10 games in this embodiment). To do. Note that the sub-control unit 91 may execute a navigation effect even when it is not controlled by AT or ART, and a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is first stopped is executed. Therefore, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, the penalty period is not controlled.

  During the penalty period, even if the winning lottery wins, the navigation stock lottery is not performed, the AT or ART is not controlled, or the navigation effect is not executed, the irregular push, that is, the stop other than the recommended stop order In this situation, the player is prompted to perform a stop operation with the left reel as the first stop because the stop operation in order is controlled during the penalty period and is disadvantageous to the player. Thus, it is possible to prevent the shift to RT0 or RT2 or the winning of a small role with a high probability when winning the push order bell even though the AT is not controlled by the AT in RT1.

  In RT1, which occupies most of the game in this embodiment, the stop operation is performed in the above-described penalty period as a result of performing the stop operation in a stop order other than the recommended stop order. The game value is designed so that the expected value of the game value that the player can acquire in the game is higher than when the game is operated in the stop order. The expected value specified here is not the expected value of only one game in RT1, but the game that takes into consideration the granting of rights (navigator stock) to the ART obtained after that one game is also continued. Shows the expected value. Therefore, the player should perform the stop operation in the recommended stop order.

  That is, in this embodiment, it becomes easier to shift to RT0 or RT2 with a high replay probability by pressing irregularly, but a penalty occurs for granting navigation stock. The expected value is higher for the player than when the stop operation is performed in order.

  In addition, the stop operation in the recommended stop order is set so that the probability that the right (navigator stock) to become an ART advantageous to the player is given is higher than that in the other stop order. Therefore, the player should perform the stop operation in the recommended stop order.

  Also, in this embodiment, as described above, only when the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop order, that is, the order in which the left reel is the first stop reel, the weak cherry or the strong cherry is a weak cherry or a strong cherry. A stop mode that can be recognized is derived, and it becomes easier for the player to identify a situation that is advantageous to the player by performing the stop operation in the recommended stop order, so that the player can perform the stop operation in the recommended stop order. It is better to do it.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 is in a normal state in which neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed. When a stop operation is performed, a warning notification is given. In the warning notification, a notification is given that a penalty is given when a stop operation is performed outside the specified stop order.

  Note that in this embodiment, even in a normal state in which neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is not executed, the irregular pressing, that is, the stop in the stop order other than the recommended stop order is performed. It is configured to be controlled in the penalty period by being operated, but for example, it is not controlled in the penalty period just by performing a stop operation other than the recommended stop order, among which the middle bell or right bell is elected, As a result of stop operation other than the recommended stop order, as a result of stop operation in the stop order other than the recommended stop order, the right falling bell or the upper bell wins a medal, or one of the replays GR1 to GR6 wins, and the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the recommended stop order As a result, only when the promotion replay wins and shifts to RT0, that is, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order other than the recommended stop order, and only when it is actually advantageous to the player. It may be configured to control during the nullity period. By adopting such a configuration, if the player does not gain profit even if the stop operation other than the recommended stop order is performed, no penalty will be given. Although the stop operation is performed in the order of stoppages, it is possible to prevent the player from being dissatisfied with the game due to a penalty even when no profit is obtained.

  Also, in this embodiment, a penalty is given as long as the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop order in the normal state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled and the navigation effect in the normal state is executed. However, when the navigation effect is executed in a state where neither the AT nor the ART is controlled, a penalty is given if the stop operation is performed in a sequence other than the stop order notified by the navigation effect. It is good also as a structure, and it can implement | achieve the gameability as designed by setting it as such a structure. For example, when replay GR1 or replay GR2 is won at RT1, there is a possibility that the promotion replay wins and moves to RT0 by performing the stop operation in the recommended stop order, that is, the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop. However, in such a case, by giving a penalty when the stop operation is performed in the stop order ignoring the navigation effect, it becomes possible to prompt the stop operation in the stop order according to the navigation effect, and the AT controls It is possible to prevent a shift to RT0 or RT2 in a state where it is not performed.

  Next, the flow of ART control performed by the sub-control unit 91 will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 17 and 18.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when one or more navigation stocks are determined in the navigation stock lottery, the sub control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Ss1). Then, based on the presence or absence of the navigation stock in the RAM 91c, whether or not to control to AT is specified. When one or more navigation stocks remain, the control is performed by the AT after the ART winning notification is notified through the ART confirmation notification (Ss2).

  When starting the control of the AT, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect when the target combination is won. First, after the transition to AT, it is controlled to RT1, and during this time, the stop order of winning the promoted replay is notified by the navigation effect when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won (Ss3). By performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified stop order, the promoted replay wins (Ss4), and it is possible to shift from RT1 to RT0. If the promotion replay is not won as a result of performing the stop operation in a stop order different from the notified stop order, the AT control is also ended at that time.

  In addition, after the AT control is started, the stop order for winning the bell is notified at the time of winning the push order bell in any game state of RT0 to 2, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. It is also possible to win medals with certainty. At this time, a configuration in which the stop order for winning the bell in the three-choice navigation effect may be notified, or a stop order in which the bell may be won in the six-choice navigation effect may be notified, and the former configuration is used. Thus, since the stop order of the reels other than the first stop is arbitrary, the burden on the player can be reduced.

  After the promoted replay wins at RT1 and shifts to RT0, when the replays GR11 to 13 are elected (Ss5), the stop order to avoid winning the fall replay is notified by the navigation effect (Ss6).

  At this time, there are two stop orders for avoiding the fall replay winning, but as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the stop order type and the lottery mode managed by the sub-control unit 91 described later are determined. A navigation effect for informing the stop order of 6 options is executed.

  By performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 13, it is possible to avoid the fall replay winning (Ss5) and to avoid the transition from RT0 to RT1. In addition, as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, when the fall replay wins and shifts to RT1, the AT control is also ended at that time.

  In addition, after the transition to RT0, when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected (Ss8), the stop order for winning the special replay is notified by the navigation effect (Ss9).

  At this time, there are two stop orders for winning the special replay, but as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, there are six options determined according to the stop order type to be described later and the lottery mode managed by the sub-control unit 91. The navigation effect that informs the stop order of is executed.

  A special replay can be won by performing a stop operation in accordance with the stop order informed when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected (Ss10), and it is possible to shift from RT0 to RT2, and the special replay wins and shifts to RT2. At the same time, ART starts. Note that if the normal replay wins as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, the AT control is continued.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the special replay is won at RT0 and the process proceeds to RT2, the navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by one when the next game starts (Ss101).

  After the start operation, the number of ART games transmitted from the main control unit 41 is set in the RAM 91c (Ss102), and an ART start effect according to the set number of ART games is controlled by the main control unit 41 described later. It is executed in accordance with Freeze 1 (Ss103), and ART control is started, and the main control unit 41 sets a determination period for determining the start of ART in the RAM 91c (Ss104). Start counting.

  After the start of ART, for each game, the remaining number of games managed by the sub-control unit 91 is decremented by 1 (Ss105), whether normal replay is won (Ss106), or whether the push order bell is won (Ss113), it is determined whether replay GR11-13 or replay GR21-23 is elected (Ss122).

  When the normal replay is won in the game after the start of ART, it is determined whether or not it is the determination period based on the setting of the RAM 91c (Ss107). If it is the determination period, as shown in FIG. A navigation effect for informing of a 6-choice stop order determined according to a later-described determination period and stop order type is executed (Ss108). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 determines the ART start for each set on the sub-control unit 91 side based on whether or not an ART signal output command is received, and determines whether or not an ART signal is output accordingly. (Ss109) When the main control unit 41 determines that the ART signal has been output, the determination period set in the RAM 91c is set as a non-determination period (Ss110). On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not output the ART signal, the determination period set in the RAM 91c is maintained.

  In addition, when the normal replay is won in the game after the start of ART and it is not in the determination period, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the ART start is determined. The number of times the stop operation is performed in the order in which the ART start is determined, that is, normal replay or push order bell is won, and 1 is added when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the ART start is determined. Alternatively, the counter value that is cleared when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the pressing order is won and the ART start is not determined is determined by the number of determinations (one set) by which the main control unit 41 definitely determines the ART start. It is determined whether it will be 3 times for the ART of the eye and 2 times for the ART after the 2nd set) (Ss111). If the number of stop operations in the stop order in which the ART start is determined subsequently becomes the number of determinations, as shown in FIG. 28, six options determined according to the non-determination period and stop order type described later A navigation effect for informing the stop order is executed (Ss112). On the other hand, if the number of times of stop operation in the stop order in which ART start is determined continuously at the time of normal replay or push order bell winning is not the number of determination times, the navigation effect is not executed.

  If the push order bell is won in the game after the start of ART, it is determined whether or not it is the determination period based on the setting of the RAM 91c (Ss114). If it is the determination period, as shown in FIG. Then, a navigation effect for informing the stop order of 6 choices determined according to the determination period and stop order type described later is executed (Ss115). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 determines the ART start for each set on the sub-control unit 91 side based on whether or not an ART signal output command is received, and determines whether or not an ART signal is output accordingly. (Ss116) When the main control unit 41 determines that the ART signal has been output, the determination period set in the RAM 91c is set as a non-determination period (Ss117). On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not output the ART signal, the determination period set in the RAM 91c is maintained.

  Further, if the push order bell is won in the game after the start of the ART and it is not the determination period, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the ART start is determined. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of stop operations in the stop order in which ART start is determined is the number of determinations by which the main control unit 41 determines ART start definitely (Ss118), and normal replay or push When the number of stop operations in the stop order in which the start of ART is continuously determined at the time of winning the order bell is the number of determinations (3 for the first set of ART, 2 for the second and subsequent ARTs), As shown in FIG. 29, a navigation effect for informing the stop order of 6 choices determined according to the non-determination period and stop order type described later is executed (Ss119). On the other hand, when the number of times of stop operation in the stop order in which ART start is continuously determined at the time of normal replay or push order bell winning is not the number of determination times, as shown in FIG. A navigation effect for informing the stop order of the three choices determined according to the order type is executed (Ss120).

  By performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the push order bell, it is possible to reliably acquire medals while avoiding the transition to RT1. In addition, it is determined whether or not the transition outcome has won (Ss121), and if the transition outcome is stopped and the process proceeds to RT1 as a result of performing the stop operation in a stop order different from the notified stop order, At this point, the ART control is also terminated.

  When any one of the replay GRs 11 to 13 or the replay GRs 21 to 23 is won in the game after the start of the ART, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the stop order type and sub-control unit 91 described later manages. A navigation effect for informing the stop order of 6 choices determined according to the number of navigation stocks is executed (Ss123).

  It is possible to avoid the transition to RT1 by performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified when the replays GR11 to 13 are won. In addition, it is determined whether or not the fall replay has been won (Ss124), and if the fall replay has won and moved to RT1 as a result of performing the stop operation in a stop order different from the notified stop order, at that time The ART control is also terminated.

  Further, in each game after the start of ART, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of games in ART has become 0 (Ss125). If the remaining number of games in ART has become 0, the main controller 41 freezes 2 At the same time, an end notification for notifying the end of ART is performed (Ss126), and it is determined whether or not the navigation stock remains (Ss127). Is resumed (Ss101). On the other hand, if no navigation stock remains, the ART control is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 avoids the falling replay winning at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 13 that are the targets of the internal lottery at RT0 and RT2, and each of the two stopping orders for the normal replay is won. The stop order is assigned, and even if the stop operation is performed in either stop order, the normal replay wins and it is possible to avoid the winning of the fall replay. That is, it can be said that the two stop orders for avoiding the falling replay winning at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 13 and winning the normal replay are both the stopping orders for deriving the display mode that does not change the value for the player.

  In addition, at the time of winning the replays GR21 to 23, which are subject to internal lottery at RT0, two stop orders are assigned as stop orders for winning special replays for shifting to RT2, and either stop order is assigned. Even if a stop operation is performed in step S2, it is possible to win a special replay and shift to RT2. That is, it can be said that the two stop orders for winning the special replay at the time of winning the replays GR21 to 23 are the stop orders for deriving the display mode that does not change the value for the player.

  In addition, at the time of winning the normal replay subject to the internal lottery in RT2, the normal replay will always win in any stop order, but there are six stop orders as the stop order for winning the normal replay. Is assigned, and the normal replay can be won regardless of the stop operation in any stop order. That is, it can be said that the six stopping orders for winning the normal replay at the time of winning the normal replay are stopping orders for deriving a display mode that does not change the value for the player.

  Also, at the time of winning the push order bell that is the subject of the internal lottery in RT2, two stop orders are assigned as stop orders to avoid stopping the transitional outcome and to make sure that the small role is won, Regardless of which stop order is used, it is possible to avoid the stop of the transitional outcome and to reliably win a small combination. That is, it can be said that the two stopping orders for avoiding the stoppage of the transitional outcome at the time of winning the pushing order bell and reliably winning the small role are both the stopping orders for deriving the display mode that does not change the value for the player.

  And the main control part 41 is the 1st of the 2 stop order which derives the display mode which does not change the value with respect to these players at the time of winning of the replay GR11-13, the replay GR21-23, the normal replay, and the push order bell. The first control state is determined with respect to the stop order of the first, the second control state is determined with respect to the second stop order, the first stop order type, and the display mode that does not change the value for the player is derived 2 A plurality of types of stops including a second stop order type in which the first control state is determined with respect to the second stop order among the street stop orders and the second control state is determined with respect to the first stop order One stop order type is randomly selected from the order types at an equal ratio, and in addition to the fact that the replay GR11-13, replay GR21-23, normal replay, and push order bell are won, the selected stop order is selected. Send internal winning command indicating the order type with respect to the sub-controller 91.

  The sub control unit 91 corresponds to the replay GR 11 to 13, the replay GR 21 to 23, the normal replay, the stop order type specified from the internal win command indicating the push order bell win, and the control state of the sub control unit 91. By executing a navigation effect that notifies the stop order determined in advance, the player is prompted to stop in the notified stop order. At this time, when the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the first control state and the first stop order type is specified, two stop orders for deriving a display mode that does not change the value for the player. If the navigation effect that informs the first stop order is executed, the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the first control state, and the second stop order type is specified, the value for the player The navigation effect which alert | reports the 2nd stop order among two kinds of stop orders which derive the display mode which does not change is performed. On the other hand, when the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the second control state and the first stop order type is specified, the two stop orders are derived so as to derive a display mode that does not change the value for the player. Among them, the navigation effect that informs the second stop order is executed, the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the second control state, and the second stop order type is specified, the value of the value for the player A navigation effect for informing the first stop order of the two stop orders for deriving a display mode that does not change is executed.

  Then, when the stop operation is performed, the main control unit 41 estimates that the stop operation has been performed in the order in which the player is notified by the navigation effect, and the replay GR11-13, the replay GR21-23, and the normal replay If the stop order type selected at the time of winning the push order bell is the first stop order type and the actual stop order is the first stop order, the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the first control state. If the actual stop order is the second stop order, it is determined that the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the second control state. On the other hand, if the replay GR11-13, the replay GR21-23, the normal replay, the stop order type selected at the time of winning the push order bell is the second stop order type, and the actual stop order is the first stop order, It is determined that the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the second control state, and if the actual stop order is the second stop order, the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is determined to be the first control state. To do.

  In this way, the main control unit 41 randomly selects one stop order type from a plurality of stop order types at the time of winning the replay GRs 11 to 13, the replay GRs 21 to 23, the normal replay, and the push order bell, The sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect based on the stop order type selected by the main control unit 41 based on the result and the control state of the sub control unit 91, so that the stop order type and the sub control unit 91 are executed. The player is prompted to perform a stop operation in the stop order based on the control state, and the main control unit 41 can specify the control state of the sub-control unit 91 from the selected stop order type and the actual stop order. ing.

  In this embodiment, the replay GRs 11 to 13, the replays GR21 to 23, the normal replay, and the push order bell are selected at random from any of the plurality of stop order types at an equal rate, Based on the result, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect based on the stop order type selected by the main control unit 41 and the control state of the sub control unit 91, and the main control unit 41 selects The control state of the sub-control unit 91 is specified based on the stop order type and the actual stop order. The player intentionally selects the operation mode of the stop operation so that the main control unit 41 It becomes difficult to erroneously determine the control state of the sub-control unit 91.

  In this embodiment, when any one of the replay GRs 11 to 13, the replay GRs 21 to 23, the normal replay, and the push order bell is won, the stop order type is randomly selected at an equal ratio. Even when the stop order type changes randomly according to the type of the combination, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Further, in this embodiment, any stop order type is randomly selected from a plurality of stop order types at an equal rate at the time of winning of 11-13, replay GR21-23, normal replay, and push order bell, The sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect based on the stop order type selected by the main control unit 41 based on the result and the control state of the sub control unit 91, and the main control unit 41 selects the stop selected. A predetermined lottery result having at least two operation modes for deriving a display mode whose value does not change for the player, although the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is specified based on the order type and the actual stop order If the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the first control state, the sub-control unit 91 is less likely to derive a display mode that does not change the value for the player. If the navigation effect that informs the first operation mode among the two operation modes is executed and the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the second control state, the display mode that does not change the value for the player is derived. A navigation effect that notifies the second operation mode of at least two operation modes to be executed is executed. As a result, when the main control unit is the first operation mode, the sub control unit 91 By determining that the control state is the first control state and determining that the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is the second control state when the actual operation mode is the second operation mode, The control unit 41 may be configured to specify the control state of the sub-control unit 91. At this time, the predetermined lottery result may be one type or a plurality of types.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a role having at least two operation modes for deriving a display mode whose value does not change for a player, replay GR11-13, replay GR21-23, normal replay, push order bell, whichever Even if the operation mode is selected, the same display mode is derived. However, it is derived when the display mode derived when one operation mode is selected and the other operation mode is selected. Even if it is different from the display mode, it can be applied as long as the value does not change for the player when both display modes are derived. In this case, the display mode in which the value for the player does not change is a display mode in which no profit is given regardless of which display mode is derived, and the profit of the same value is given regardless of which display mode is derived. Applicable to display mode. In addition, the profit in this case corresponds to a game value such as a medal or a transition to a game state advantageous to the player, or a transition from a game state advantageous to the player to a less disadvantageous game state. To do.

  In this embodiment, the operation mode is a stop order, that is, the stop operation order is different. However, the reel stop timing may be applied as the operation mode, or a combination of the stop order and the stop timing is applied. May be.

  Further, in this embodiment, the navigation effect is produced in the same manner when the replay GRs 11 to 13 and ATs 21 to 23 in the AT are won, the replays GR 11 to 13 in the ART, the normal replay, and the push order bell are selected. Therefore, when the player ignores the navigation effect and performs the stop operation, there is a possibility that the player may suffer a disadvantage (transition to RT1). As a result, the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect during the ART. This makes it possible to effectively prevent the main control unit 41 from erroneously determining the control state of the sub control unit 91 by intentionally selecting the operation mode of the stop operation.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 specifies the lottery mode on the sub-control unit 91 side from the actual stop order when the replays GR11 to 13 and the replays GR21 to 23 are won at RT0, and based on this, the ART control starts. This ART number of games (the number of games until the next freeze 2) is reflected in the lottery mode of the game number lottery.

  Further, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is navigation stock on the side of the sub-control unit 91 from the stop order when the replays GR11 to 13 are won in RT2, and based on this, whether or not to perform Freeze 1 to be described later It is to be reflected in the decision.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the ART is started for each set on the sub-control unit 91 side based on the stop order when the normal replay and the pressing order bell are won in RT2, and based on this, the ART signal is transmitted. The output is controlled.

  19 and 20 are based on the lottery mode managed on the sub-control unit 91 side, the selection status of the navigation effect corresponding to the stop order type at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 13 and replay GR21 to 23 in RT0, and the actual stop order. It is a figure which shows the relationship of the lottery mode of the game number lottery which the main control part 41 determines.

  When the replays GR11 to 13 and the replays GR21 to 23 are won, one stop order type is selected from the four stop order types 0 to 3, respectively.

  When the stop order type 0 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 and replay GR21 at RT0, the main control unit 41 determines that the lottery mode of the game number lottery is the normal mode when the actual stop order is left middle right If the actual stop order is right / left, the game number lottery mode is determined to be the high probability mode. If the actual stop order is other than left / right / right / left / right, the game number lottery is determined. The mode is determined to be the normal mode.

  On the other hand, if the sub-order 91 is selected when the replay GR11 or replay GR21 is selected at RT0 and the sub-control unit 91 is in the normal mode, the sub-control unit 91 changes the left middle right stop order. The navigation effect to notify is executed, and when the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the high probability mode, the navigation effect to notify the stop order in the left and right is executed.

  When the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 and replay GR21 at RT0 and the actual stop order is left middle right, the main control unit 41 sets the high probability mode as the lottery mode of the game number lottery. If the actual stop order is right and left, the normal mode is determined as the lottery mode for the game number lottery. If the actual stop order is other than left middle right and right and left, the lottery for the game number lottery is determined. The mode is determined to be the normal mode.

  On the other hand, when the sub-order 91 is selected when the replay GR11 or replay GR21 is selected at RT0 and the sub-control section 91 is in the normal mode, the sub-control section 91 notifies the stop order in the left and right directions. If the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the high probability mode, the navigation effect for informing the stop order of the left middle right is executed.

  When the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 and replay GR21 at RT0, the main control unit 41 determines that the lottery mode of the game number lottery is maintained if the actual stop order is left middle right. When the actual stop order is right and left, the low probability mode is determined as the lottery mode for the game number lottery. When the actual stop order is other than left middle right and right and left, the lottery mode for the game number lottery is determined. As normal mode.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 and replay GR21 at RT0, the sub-control unit 91, when the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the normal mode or the high probability mode, A navigation effect for informing the stop order of the middle left and right is executed.

  When the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 and replay GR21 at RT0, and the actual stop order is left middle right, the main control unit 41 sets the low probability mode as the lottery mode for the game number lottery. If the actual stop order is left and right, it is determined to be maintained as the lottery mode for the game number lottery. If the actual stop order is other than left middle right and right and left, the lottery mode for the game number lottery is determined. As normal mode.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91, when the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 and replay GR21 in RT0, whether the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the normal mode or the high probability mode, A navigation effect for informing the stop order between right and left is executed.

  When the stop order type 0 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR12 and replay GR22 at RT0, the main control unit 41 determines that the lottery mode of the game number lottery is the normal mode when the actual stop order is middle or left. When the actual stop order is middle right and left, the lottery mode of the game number lottery is determined as the high probability mode, and when the actual stop order is other than middle left and right and middle right and left, the lottery mode of the game number lottery is determined. The normal mode is determined.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 0 is selected when the replay GR12 and the replay GR22 are selected at RT0, the sub control unit 91 notifies the stop order of the middle and right and left when the lottery mode of the sub control unit 91 is the normal mode. If the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the high probability mode, the navigation effect for informing the stop order of middle right and left is executed.

  When the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR12 and the replay GR22 at RT0, the main control unit 41 determines the high probability mode as the lottery mode of the game number lottery when the actual stop order is middle or left. When the actual stop order is middle right and left, the lottery mode of the game number lottery is determined as the normal mode, and when the actual stop order is other than middle left and right and middle right and left, the lottery mode of the game number lottery is determined. The normal mode is determined.

  On the other hand, when the sub-order 91 is selected when the replay GR12 and replay GR22 are selected at RT0 and the sub-control section 91 is in the normal mode, the sub-control section 91 notifies the middle-right left stop order. If the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the high probability mode, the navigation effect for informing the middle / left / right stop order is executed.

  The main control unit 41 determines that the lottery mode of the game number lottery is maintained when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR12 and the replay GR22 at RT0, and the actual stop order is middle left and right. When the actual stop order is middle right and left, the lottery mode of the game number lottery is determined as the low probability mode, and when the actual stop order is other than middle left and right and middle right and left, the lottery mode of the game number lottery is normal. The mode is determined.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR12 and the replay GR22 at RT0, the sub-control unit 91, when the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the normal mode or the high probability mode, A navigation effect for informing the middle / left / right stop order is executed.

  When the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR12 and the replay GR22 at RT0, the main control unit 41 determines the low probability mode as the lottery mode of the game number lottery when the actual stop order is middle or left. When the actual stop order is middle right / left, it is determined that the game number lottery mode is maintained. When the actual stop order is other than middle left / right and middle right / left, the game number lottery mode is normally set. The mode is determined.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR12 and replay GR22 at RT0, the sub-control unit 91, when the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the normal mode or the high probability mode, A navigation effect that notifies the stop order of middle right and left is executed.

  When the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR13 and replay GR23 at RT0, the main control unit 41 determines that the lottery mode of the game number lottery is the high probability mode when the actual stop order is in the middle left When the actual stop order is right middle left, the game number lottery mode is determined to be the normal mode. When the actual stop order is other than right left middle and right middle left, the game number lottery lottery The mode is determined to be the normal mode.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 1 is selected when the replay GR13 and the replay GR23 are selected at RT0, the sub control unit 91 changes the stop order of the middle right and left when the lottery mode of the sub control unit 91 is the normal mode. The navigation effect to notify is executed, and when the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the high probability mode, the navigation effect to notify the stop order in the middle left and right is executed.

  The main control unit 41 determines that the lottery mode of the game number lottery is maintained when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR13 and the replay GR23 at RT0, and the actual stop order is right / left middle, When the actual stop order is right middle left, the game number lottery mode is determined as the low probability mode. When the actual stop order is other than right left middle and right middle left, the game number lottery mode As normal mode.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR13 and replay GR23 at RT0, the sub control unit 91, when the lottery mode of the sub control unit 91 is the normal mode or the high probability mode, A navigation effect that notifies the stop order in the middle left and right is executed.

  When the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR13 and replay GR23 at RT0, the main control unit 41 determines the low probability mode as the lottery mode of the game number lottery when the actual stop order is in the middle left If the actual stop order is right middle left, it is determined that the game number lottery mode is maintained, and if the actual stop order is other than right left middle and right middle left, the game number lottery mode is selected. As normal mode.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91, when the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR13 and replay GR23 in RT0, whether the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the normal mode or the high probability mode, A navigation effect that informs the stop order of the middle right and left is executed.

  For this reason, when the player performs the stop operation in the stop order notified by the navigation effect, if the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the normal mode, the main control unit 41 sets the lottery mode for the game number lottery. If it is determined that the normal mode is selected and the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the high probability mode, the main control unit 41 determines the high probability mode as the lottery mode for the number-of-games lottery.

  In addition, when the main control unit 41 selects the stop order types 2 and 3 when the replay GRs 11 to 13 and the replay GRs 21 to 23 are won, the sub control unit 91 determines that the lottery mode of the sub control unit 91 is the normal mode. Regardless of whether it is a high probability mode or not, a navigation effect that informs the common stop order is executed, and if a stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect at this time, the game number lottery determined before that While the lottery mode is maintained, if the stop operation is performed without following the navigation effect, it is determined that the low probability mode is disadvantageous compared to the normal mode, and therefore, most of the lottery modes controlled by the sub control unit 91 are determined. Since the player is in the normal mode, the player assumes that the lottery mode of the sub-control unit 91 is the normal mode, and stops in the stop order different from the stop order in which the navigation effect notifies the stop order after the second stop. Even when performing an operation, it is difficult to determine the high probability mode as a lottery mode of the game the number of lottery.

  Next, the flow of control until the main control unit 41 determines the lottery mode for the game number lottery at RT0 will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  When the main control unit 41 shifts to RT0 in accordance with the prize for promotion replay (Sm1), first, mode 0 is set in the lottery mode setting area assigned to the RAM 41c (Sm2).

  After that, for each game, it is determined whether the replay GRs 11 to 13 are won (Sm3) or the replays GR21 to 23 are won (Sm17).

  When any one of the replays GR11 to 13 is won, any one of the stop order types 0 to 3 is randomly selected with an equal probability (1/4) (Sm4).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the normal mode is selected based on the stop order type selected in the game where one of the replays GR11 to 13 is won and the actual stop order (Sm5). Therefore, it is determined whether or not the fall replay has won a prize (Sm6). If the fall replay has won, RT0 ends and the process proceeds to RT1. Thus, the determination of the lottery mode ends. In this case, the process does not shift to RT2, and the number-of-games lottery is not performed.

  Further, if the fall replay is not won in the determination of Sm6, the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area, that is, the lottery mode determined when the replay GR11-13 and the replay GR21-23 are won before the previous time. Is a low probability mode (Sm7), and if it is a low probability mode, the low probability mode set in the lottery mode setting area is maintained (Sm8). On the other hand, when the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is not the low probability mode, the lottery mode in the lottery mode setting area is updated to the normal mode (Sm9).

  If it is determined in Sm5 that the normal mode is not selected, it is determined whether or not the replay GR 11-13 is in the high probability mode from the stop order type selected in the winning game and the actual stop order. If it is determined that the high probability mode is selected (Sm10), it is determined whether the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is the normal mode or the low probability mode (Sm11). If the mode is selected, the current lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is maintained (Sm12).

  If it is determined in Sm11 that neither the normal mode nor the low probability mode is set, that is, if mode 0 is set, the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is updated to the high probability mode ( Sm13).

  If it is determined in Sm10 that it is not the high probability mode, it is determined whether or not the replay GR 11-13 is in the low probability mode from the stop order type selected in the winning game and the actual stop order. (Sm14) If it is the low probability mode, the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is updated to the low probability mode (Sm15).

  Further, when it is determined in Sm14 that the mode is not the low probability mode, that is, when the determination content from the stop order type selected in the game where one of the replays GR11 to 13 is won and the actual stop order is maintained, The current lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is maintained (Sm16).

  If any one of the replays GR21 to GR23 is won in the determination of Sm3, any one of the stop order types 0 to 3 is randomly selected with an equal probability (1/4) (Sm18).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the normal mode is selected from the stop order type selected in the game where one of the replays GR21 to 23 is won and the actual stop order (Sm19). It is determined whether or not the lottery mode set in the setting area is the low probability mode (Sm20). If the lottery mode is the low probability mode, the low probability mode set in the lottery mode setting area is maintained (Sm21). . On the other hand, when the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is not the low probability mode, the lottery mode in the lottery mode setting area is updated to the normal mode (Sm22).

  Next, when the normal mode is determined in the determination of Sm19, there are cases where the special replay has won and the normal replay has won, so the special replay is won. If the special replay has been won, the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is confirmed (Sm24), and the process proceeds to RT2 with the special replay winning. (Sm25) Accordingly, the game number lottery is performed in the lottery mode determined in Sm24.

  If it is determined in Sm19 that the current mode is not the normal mode, it is determined whether the replay GR 21 to 23 is in the high probability mode from the stop order type selected in the winning game and the actual stop order. If it is determined that the high probability mode is selected (Sm26), it is determined whether the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is the normal mode or the low probability mode (Sm27). If the mode is selected, the current lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is maintained (Sm28). On the other hand, if it is determined in Sm28 that neither the normal mode nor the low probability mode is set, that is, if mode 0 is set, the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is updated to the high probability mode ( Sm29).

  Next, when the high probability mode is determined in the determination of Sm26, the special replay has been won, so the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is determined (Sm24), and the special replay is won. Accordingly, the process shifts to RT2 (Sm25), and accordingly, the number-of-games lottery is performed in the lottery mode determined in Sm24.

  If it is determined in Sm26 that the mode is not the high probability mode, it is determined whether any of the replay GRs 21 to 23 is in the low probability mode from the stop order type selected in the winning game and the actual stop order. (Sm30) If it is the low probability mode, the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is updated to the low probability mode (Sm31).

  In addition, when it is determined in the determination of Sm30 that the mode is not the low probability mode, that is, when the determination content from the stop order type and the actual stop order selected in the game that one of the replays GR21 to 23 is won is maintained. The current lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is maintained (Sm32).

  Next, regardless of whether or not the low probability mode is determined in the determination of Sm30, if the normal mode is not determined in the step of Sm19, the special replay is won, so the lottery mode setting area is set. The selected lottery mode is determined (Sm24), and the game proceeds to RT2 when the special replay is won (Sm25). Accordingly, the number of games is selected in the lottery mode determined in Sm24.

  At this time, the determination content from the stop order type selected in the game won by any of the replays GR21 to 23 and the actual stop order is maintained, and the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area in Sm32 is maintained. In this case, there is a case where mode 0 is set (when replay GRs 21 to 23 are won and mode 0 is maintained before replay GRs 11 to 13 are won after shifting to RT0), so that lottery mode is set. It is determined whether the lottery mode set in the area is mode 0 (Sm33). If mode 0 is set, the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is updated to the normal mode ( Sm34), the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area is determined (Sm24).

  The main control unit 41 draws the number of games to determine the number of games of the ART when starting the ART with the start of RT2 and when the number of ART games becomes 0 after that and when the navigation stock is consumed and the ART is restarted. I do.

  In the game number lottery, when the lottery mode determined at Sm24, that is, when the ART associated with the start of RT2 is started, the lottery mode determined at the end of RT0 immediately before that, when the navigation stock is consumed and the ART is restarted. Determines the number of games with a probability corresponding to the lottery mode determined at the end of RT0 immediately before the start of a series of ARTs.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, when the lottery mode is the low probability mode, the winning probability of 33 games is set to 100%, and the average number of games in this case is 33 games.

  When the lottery mode is the normal mode, the winning probability of 33 games is 68%, the winning probability of 77 games is 16%, the winning probability of 111 games is 8%, the winning probability of 222 games is 4%, 333 The winning probability of the game is 2%, the winning probability of the 444 game is 1%, the winning probability of the 555 game is 0.5%, and the winning probability of the 777 game is 0.5%. In this case, the average number of games is 70.3 games.

  When the lottery mode is the high probability mode, the winning probability of 33 games is 28%, the winning probability of 77 games is 40%, the winning probability of 111 games is 16%, the winning probability of 222 games is 8%, The winning probability of 333 games is 4%, the winning probability of 444 games is 2%, the winning probability of 555 games is 1%, and the winning probability of 777 games is 1%. In this case, the average number of games is 111.1 It is a game.

  In other words, when the lottery mode is the high probability mode, the possibility that the number of games controlled by ART is increased compared to the normal mode, and in the low probability mode, the number of games controlled by the ART is higher than that in the normal mode. This increases the possibility that the number of games controlled by ART will be reduced. Therefore, the high probability mode is more advantageous to the player than the normal mode, and the low probability mode is more disadvantageous to the player than the normal mode.

  According to such control, the main control unit 41 shifts to RT0 in accordance with AT control by the sub-control unit 91, and then the special replay wins and shifts to RT2 until the ART starts. A game that is performed at the start of the subsequent ART only when the high probability mode is determined from the stop order type selected at that time and the actual stop order in all the games won by the replay GR11 to 13 and the replay GR21 to 23 The probability corresponding to the high probability mode will be applied in the number lottery, while if the normal mode is determined even once, the normal mode is selected in the game number lottery performed at the subsequent ART start. Probability will be applied, and if the low probability mode is determined even once, the game will be switched to the normal mode by the number-of-games lottery performed at the start of subsequent ART. Probability Flip was so that the is applied.

  24 and 25 show the main control unit based on the presence / absence of navigation stock managed on the sub-control unit 91 side, the selection status of the navigation effect corresponding to the stop order type at the time of winning the replay GR11-13 in RT2, and the actual stop order It is a figure which shows the relationship of the presence or absence of the navigation stock which 41 determines.

  As described above, when the replays GR11 to 13 are won, one of the stop order types is selected from the four stop order types of 0 to 3, respectively.

  When the stop order type 0 is selected when the replay GR11 is selected at RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that there is no navigation stock when the actual stop order is left middle right, and the actual stop order is left and right. In this case, it is determined that there is navigation stock. If the actual stop order is other than left middle right and right / left middle, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 0 is selected when the replay GR 11 is selected at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that informs the stop order of the left middle right when no navigation stock remains. When the navigation stock remains, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in the left and right is executed.

  When the stop order type 1 is selected when the replay GR 11 is won at RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that there is navigation stock when the actual stop order is left middle right, and the actual stop order is right and left. In this case, it is determined that there is no navigation stock, and in the case where the actual stop order is other than left middle right and right / left middle, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 1 is selected when the replay GR 11 is selected at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that informs the stop order in the left and right directions when the navigation stock does not remain. When the stock remains, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order of left middle right is executed.

  When the stop order type 2 is selected when the replay GR 11 is won at RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that the navigation stock is maintained (the previous determination is maintained) if the actual stop order is left middle right. When the actual stop order is right and left, it is determined that there is no navigation stock, and when the actual stop order is other than left middle right and left and right, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 in RT2, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that notifies the stop order of the middle left and right regardless of whether or not the navigation stock remains.

  The main control unit 41 determines the low probability mode as the lottery mode of the game number lottery when the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 in RT2 and the actual stop order is left middle right, When the actual stop order is right / left, it is determined that the game number lottery mode is maintained, and when the actual stop order is other than left / right / right / left / right, the normal mode is selected as the game number lottery mode. Is determined.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR11 in RT2, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in the left and right regardless of whether or not the navigation stock remains.

  When the stop order type 0 is selected when the replay GR 12 is won at RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that there is no navigation stock when the actual stop order is middle left and right, and the actual stop order is middle right and left. In this case, it is determined that there is navigation stock. If the actual stop order is other than middle left / right and middle right / left, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, if the stop order type 0 is selected when the replay GR 12 is selected at RT0, and the navigation stock does not remain, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect informing the middle / left / right stop order. If the stock remains, a navigation effect that notifies the middle right / left stop order is executed.

  When the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR 12 in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that there is navigation stock when the actual stop order is middle left and right, and the actual stop order is middle right and left. In this case, it is determined that there is no navigation stock. If the actual stop order is other than middle left / right and middle right / left, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 1 is selected when the replay GR 12 is selected at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that notifies the stop order of the middle right and left if there is no remaining navigation stock. When the stock remains, a navigation effect that notifies the middle / left / right stop order is executed.

  When the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR 12 in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that the navigation stock is maintained when the actual stop order is middle left and right, and the actual stop order is middle right and left. In this case, it is determined that there is no navigation stock. If the actual stop order is other than middle left / right and middle right / left, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 is selected when the replay GR 12 is selected at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect that notifies the middle / left / right stop order regardless of whether or not the navigation stock remains.

  When the stop order type 3 is selected when the replay GR 12 is selected at RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that there is no navigation stock when the actual stop order is middle left and right, and the actual stop order is middle right and left. In this case, it is determined that the navigation stock is maintained, and when the actual stop order is other than middle left and right and middle right and left, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 3 is selected when the replay GR 12 is selected at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that notifies the middle right / left stop order regardless of whether or not the navigation stock remains.

  When the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR 13 in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that there is navigation stock when the actual stop order is right / left middle, and the actual stop order is right / left / left In this case, it is determined that there is no navigation stock, and in the case where the actual stop order is other than middle left and right middle left, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR 13 in RT2, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect informing the stop order of the middle right and left if no navigation stock remains. When the navigation stock remains, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in the middle left and right is executed.

  When the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR 13 in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that the navigation stock is maintained when the actual stop order is right / left middle, and the actual stop order is right / left / left In this case, it is determined that there is no navigation stock, and in the case where the actual stop order is other than middle left and right middle left, it is determined that there is no navigation stock.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR 13 in RT2, the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in the middle left and right regardless of whether or not the navigation stock remains.

  When the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning the replay GR 13 in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that there is no navigation stock when the actual stop order is right / left middle, and the actual stop order is right / left / left In this case, it is determined that the navigation stock is maintained, and it is determined that there is no navigation stock when the actual stop order is other than right middle left and right middle left.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 3 is selected when the replay GR 13 is selected at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect that notifies the stop order of the middle right and left regardless of whether or not the navigation stock remains. .

  For this reason, when the player performs a stop operation in the order of stop notified by the navigation effect, if no navigation stock remains on the sub-control unit 91 side, the main control unit 41 determines that there is no navigation stock, If navigation stock remains on the sub-control unit 91 side, the main control unit 41 determines that there is navigation stock.

  In addition, when the main control unit 41 selects the stop order types 2 and 3 when the replays GR11 to 13 are selected, the sub control unit 91 performs a common stop regardless of whether or not the navigation stock remains. When performing a navigation effect that informs the order, and performing a stop operation according to the navigation effect, the presence or absence of the navigation stock determined before that is maintained, while if the stop operation is performed without following the navigation effect, Since it is determined that there is no navigation stock, no navigation stock remains when the player performs a stop operation in a stop order different from the stop order in which the navigation effect notifies the stop order after the second stop. Nevertheless, it can be determined that there is navigation stock.

  Next, the flow of control until the main control unit 41 determines the presence / absence of navigation stock at RT2 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the main control unit 41 shifts to RT2 in accordance with the special replay winning (Sm101), first, the main control unit 41 controls the number of ART games (the next freeze 2) with a probability corresponding to the lottery mode set in the lottery mode setting area. (Sm102), the number of games won in the game number lottery is set in the remaining game number counter assigned to the RAM 41c (Sm103).

  Next, one of the freeze times is selected from short (5 seconds) and long (10) based on the number of games won in the game number lottery (Sm104). At this time, short is selected when the number of games of 33 games or 77 games is won in the game number lottery, and long is selected when the number of games of 111 games or more is won.

  Thereafter, when the first game start operation is performed, control is performed to freeze 1 which delays the period until the stop operation is validated over the time selected in Sm104 (Sm105). During the period controlled by freeze 1, reel production using reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is performed, and the number of games won in accordance with the reel production on the side of sub-control unit 91, that is, the number of ART games and ART. ART start effect to notify the start of is performed.

  After freeze 1, it is determined for each game whether replay GR 11-13 is won (Sm 106).

  If any one of the replays GR11 to 13 is won, any one of the stop order types 0 to 3 is randomly selected with an equal probability (1/4) (Sm107).

  Then, it is determined whether or not there is no navigation stock from the stop order type selected in the game selected by any of the replays GR11 to 13 and the actual stop order (Sm108), and if it is determined that there is no navigation stock If provisional determination is not made, provisional determination is made that there is no navigation stock, and provisional decision is made that there is navigation stock, the provisional decision is changed to no navigation stock (Sm109). If the presence of navigation stock is provisionally determined, it will be maintained.

  If it is determined that there is no navigation stock in the determination of Sm108, whether or not there is navigation stock from the stop order type selected in the game that one of the replays GR11 to 13 wins and the actual stop order. If it is determined that there is navigation stock (Sm114), 1 is added to the stock counter assigned to the RAM 41c (Sm115). It is determined whether or not (Sm116).

  If the presence or absence of navigation stock is provisionally determined, it is determined whether or not the provisionally determined content is no navigation stock (Sm117), and if the provisionally determined content is no navigation stock, It is determined whether or not the value of the counter with stock is 5 (Sm118). If the value of the counter with stock is 5, the provisional decision is changed to with navigation stock (Sm119), and the value of the counter with stock is cleared. And set to 0 (Sm120).

  If the presence or absence of the navigation stock is not tentatively determined in the determination of Sm116, it is determined whether or not the value of the stock counter is 2 (Sm121). The presence of navigation stock is provisionally determined (Sm122), and the value of the stock counter is cleared to 0 (Sm123).

  Also, at the end of one game, it is determined whether or not the value of the remaining game number counter is 0 (S110). If the value of the remaining game number counter is 0, the bet number of the next game over a certain time at the end of the game. Control is made to freeze 2 which delays the activation of the setting operation (when the re-gamer has not won the final game) or the start operation of the next game (when the re-gamer has won the final game) (Sm111) .

  After that, the provisionally determined navigation stock or no navigation stock is confirmed (Sm112), and it is determined whether or not there is a navigation stock based on the confirmed result (Sm113). End control.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a navigation stock in the determination of Sm113, the process proceeds to Sm102, a game number lottery is performed, freeze 1 is controlled in accordance with the game start operation, and ART is restarted.

  According to such control, the main control unit 41 shifts to RT2 in accordance with AT control by the sub control unit 91, and after ART starts, until the number of ART games determined at the start of ART becomes zero. In this period, the presence / absence of navigation stock is determined from the stop order type and the actual stop order selected in the game where the replays GR11 to 13 are won, and based on the result, the number of games of ART becomes 0, If it is determined that there is no navigation stock at the time when one set of ART is completed, the control associated with ART is terminated, while if it is determined that there is navigation stock, then control is performed to freeze 1 with the game start operation. Then, ART is resumed.

  Further, when determining the presence or absence of the navigation stock, as shown in FIGS. 27A and 27B, after temporarily determining the presence or absence of the navigation stock in the game won by the replays GR11 to 13, the number of remaining games in the ART is 0. Whether or not the provisional decision is correct by determining the presence / absence of navigation stock from the stop order type and the actual stop order selected at the time in the game won by Replay GR11-13 during the period until the event (confirmation period) Whether or not there is Navistock at the end of ART based on the content of the provisional decision when the number of remaining games on ART becomes 0 It is supposed to let you.

  In addition, the absence of navigation stock is provisionally determined by determining once that there is no navigation stock in the game where the replays GR11 to 13 are won, whereas the presence of navigation stock is in the game where the replays GR11 to 13 are won. The presence of navigation stock is provisionally determined by continuously determining a plurality of times, and the presence of navigation stock is less likely to be provisionally determined than the absence of navigation stock. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the navigation stock from being determined to be present and the control based on the navigation stock to be performed even though the navigation stock does not actually remain.

  Also, after the provision of navigation stock is tentatively determined, if it is determined that there is no navigation stock even once in the confirmation period, the provisional decision is changed to no navigation stock, whereas no navigation stock is provisionally determined. After that, during the confirmation period, the number of times of determination (with 2 times) of the determination with the presence of the navigation stock required to make a temporary determination of the presence of the navigation stock in the state where the provisional determination has not been made is continued more times (5 times). If there is no navigation stock, the provisional decision will not be changed to the presence of navigation stock, and once it is temporarily decided that there is no navigation stock, it will be difficult to change to the provisional decision with navigation stock in the confirmation period. It has become. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the navigation stock from being determined to be present and the control based on the navigation stock to be performed even though the navigation stock does not actually remain.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines the number of ART games at the start of the ART, and after the determined number of ART games reaches 0, the replay GRs 11 to 13 win the game. The presence or absence of navigation stock on the sub-control unit 91 side is determined from the stop order type selected at that time and the actual stop order, and based on the result, the number of ART games is 0 and one set of ART is completed. If it is determined that there is no navigation stock at the time, the control associated with ART is terminated, while if it is determined that there is navigation stock, then control is performed to freeze 1 in accordance with the game start operation so that ART is resumed. It has become.

  Such a configuration of the present embodiment, that is, the sub control unit 91 performs notification that prompts an operation mode based on the internal lottery result on the main control unit 41 side and the control state on the sub control unit 91 side, and the main control unit In the configuration in which the player 41 confirms the matching state with the operation mode determined according to the type of the combination and determines the control state on the sub-control unit 91 side based on the result, the operation mode in which the player is always notified When the stop operation is performed in an operation mode different from the operation mode in which the player has been notified by mistake, the main control unit 41 changes the control state on the sub-control unit 91 side. There is a risk that accurate determination cannot be made.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when determining the presence or absence of navigation stock at the end of one set of ART, after the start of ART, the presence or absence of navigation stock is provisionally determined in the game selected by replay GR 11-13, and then the ART In the period until the number of remaining games becomes 0 (confirmation period), by determining the presence or absence of the navigation stock from the stop order type and the actual stop order selected at that time in the game where the replays GR11 to 13 are won, Check whether the provisional decision is correct and confirm the presence or absence of navigation stock at the end of ART based on the result of the provisional decision and the confirmation result of the subsequent confirmation period. The accuracy of determining the presence or absence of the navigation stock on the sub-control unit 91 side in can be improved.

  Also, in this embodiment, after the number of ART games is determined at the start of ART, during the period until the determined number of ART games becomes zero, the replay GR 11-13 selected at that time is the stop selected From the order type and the actual stop order, the presence or absence of navigation stock on the sub-control unit 91 side, that is, the situation with different advantages on the sub-control unit 91 side is determined, and the main control unit 41 is controlled according to the result At this time, since the advantage controlled by the sub-control unit 91 can be specified with high determination accuracy, the main control unit 41 may be controlled with an advantage different from the actual advantage. The main control unit 41 is controlled at an advantage different from the actual advantage, thereby preventing unnecessary misunderstandings to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is configured to identify the presence or absence of navigation stock as an advantage controlled by the sub-control unit 91 and to control the main control unit 41 according to the presence or absence of navigation stock. The sub-control unit is not limited to the presence / absence of the navigation stock, for example, the number of navigation stocks, the number of rights for shifting to an advantageous gaming state managed by the sub-control unit 91, the lottery mode on the sub-control unit 91 side, etc. If the configuration is such that the lottery probability relating to the advantageous gaming state managed on the 91 side, the number of games in the advantageous gaming state such as ART on the side of the sub-control unit 91 and the continuation rate are managed, the number of games in these advantageous gaming states Even when the main control unit 41 specifies the continuation rate and the main control unit 41 performs control according to the specified sub-control unit 91 side advantage, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Furthermore, the main control unit 41 specifies a control state other than the advantage controlled by the sub control unit 91, for example, the abnormality determined by the sub control unit 91 side, the possibility of fraud, and time, The main control unit 41 may be configured to perform control according to the specified control state on the sub control unit 91 side.

  Further, in this embodiment, when one set of ART is started, the end time of the one set of ART is set, and replay is performed during the period from the time when the one set of ART end time is set to the end of ART. Although it is the structure which determines the presence or absence of the navigation stock by the side of the sub-control part 91, ie, the control state by the side of the sub-control part 91, from the stop order type selected at that time and the actual stop order in the game which GR11-13 won. In a configuration in which the end of ART is extended after the end of one set of ART is set, in the period from the start of one set of ART to the end of ART, in the game where replays GR11 to 13 are won The presence / absence of navigation stock on the sub-control unit 91 side, that is, the control state on the sub-control unit 91 side is determined from the stop order type selected in step 1 and the actual stop order. It may be configured.

  Furthermore, in the configuration in which one set of ART is terminated by winning the end lottery or in a stop mode as an end condition, that is, in the configuration in which the end time is not predetermined from the beginning of the ART. In the period from the start of one set of ART to the end of ART, whether or not there is navigation stock on the sub-control unit 91 side from the stop order type and the actual stop order selected at that time in the game where the replays GR11 to 13 are won, That is, it is good also as a structure which determines the control state by the side of the sub control part 91. FIG.

  Further, in this embodiment, when determining whether or not there is a navigation stock, in the game that the replays GR11 to 13 have won, after the provisional determination of the presence or absence of the navigation stock, the period until the number of remaining games in the ART becomes 0 (confirmation period) ), Whether or not the provisional decision is correct is determined by determining the presence / absence of the navigation stock from the stop order type and the actual stop order selected at that time in the game where the replays GR11 to 13 are won. Since the provisional decision can be changed based on the number of remaining games in the ART and the content of the provisional decision at the time when the number of remaining games becomes 0, the presence or absence of the navigation stock at the end of the ART is finally determined. When the initially controlled state of the sub-control unit 91 is different from the actual control state of the sub-control unit 91, it was provisionally determined during the period until the end of ART. It can be corrected to the provisionally determined control states of the actual sub-control section 91 controls the state of the probe control section 91.

  In the present embodiment, the initially provisionally determined content is changed in accordance with the confirmation result in the confirmation period until the ART end point. For example, the provisional decision content is not changed, and the subsequent confirmation period. Only the final result may be changed based on the confirmation result.

  Further, in this embodiment, after tentatively determining that there is no navigation stock, in the confirmation period, the number of consecutive determinations of presence of navigation stock required to tentatively determine the presence of navigation stock in a state where provisional determination has not been performed ( If the presence of navigation stock is not determined consecutively more than twice (5 times), the provisional decision will not be changed to the presence of navigation stock. In the confirmation period, it is difficult to change to a temporary decision with navigation stock. In other words, in such a situation, when the player performs a stop operation without following the navigation effect by tightening the conditions for tentatively determining the presence of navigation stock than when initially determining the presence of navigation stock. Even so, it can be prevented that the navigation stock is erroneously determined to be present at the end of the ART.

  In this embodiment, when it is temporarily determined that there is navigation stock, if it is determined that there is no navigation stock after that, it will be changed to provisional determination without navigation stock. A configuration may be adopted in which it is changed to provisional determination without navigation stock by continuously determining the absence of navigation stock more times than when initially determined.

  Also, in this embodiment, when provisionally determining that there is navigation stock, it is necessary to determine whether there is navigation stock multiple times in succession, and it is possible to determine the accuracy of determination that there is navigation stock, that is, a situation that is advantageous to the player. Although it is possible to prevent the situation from being controlled in accordance with the situation advantageous to the player even though the situation is not advantageous to the player, it is preferable that the navigation stock is present once. It is good also as a structure by which a temporary decision with navigation stock is performed only.

  Further, in this embodiment, the winning probability of the replays GR11 to 13 for which the presence or absence of the navigation stock is determined at RT2, is set highest in RT2, so the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is provisionally determined. It is possible to increase opportunities to confirm whether the control state of the sub-control unit 91 tentatively determined in the opportunity and the subsequent confirmation period is correct.

  In this embodiment, since the configuration is such that the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is determined in RT2, the configuration in which the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is determined when the replay GRs 11-13 having the highest winning probability in RT2 are selected. However, for example, when the loss is assigned with the highest probability as a result of the internal lottery such as RT1, 3, etc., by configuring the control state of the sub-control unit 91 at the time of the loss, In the same manner as described above, it is possible to increase the opportunity to temporarily determine the control state of the sub control unit 91 and the opportunity to confirm whether or not the control state of the sub control unit 91 tentatively determined in the subsequent confirmation period is correct. In addition, if the gaming state (so-called bonus) has the highest winning probability for a specific small role, the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is determined at the time of winning the specific small role. Opportunities for temporarily determining the control state of the sub-control unit 91 and opportunities for confirming whether or not the control state of the sub-control unit 91 tentatively determined in the subsequent confirmation period can be increased.

  28 and 29 show the main control unit based on whether or not it is the determination period of whether or not to start ART, the normal replay in RT2, the selection state of the navigation effect corresponding to the stop order type at the time of pushing order bell win, and the actual stop order It is a figure which shows the relationship of the determination content of ART start which 41 determines.

  As described above, at the time of winning the normal replay and the push order bell, one of the stop order types is selected from the four stop order types of 0 to 3, respectively.

  When the stop order type 0 is selected at the time of normal replay winning in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that ART starts when the actual stop order is middle right and left, and when the actual stop order is middle left and right Is determined not to start ART, and if the actual stop order is other than middle right left and middle right left, it is determined that ART does not start.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 0 is selected at the time of normal replay selection in RT2, the sub-control unit 91 is in a determination period (a period from the start of one set of ART until the reception of an ART output command). 6-choice navigation effects that inform the middle-right-left stop order were executed, and during the non-determination period (the period after an ART output command was received after the start of one set of ART), it was operated in the stop order of the ART start. In this case, the left reel is stopped at the first stop when the main control unit 41 determines the number of times that the determination to start ART is fixed (3 times for the first set of ART and 2 times for the second and subsequent ARTs). If three navigation options for informing the order are executed and the operation is performed in the order of stopping the ART start, if the number of determinations for determining the ART start is not reached on the main control unit 41 side, the navigation effect is not executed. .

  When the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of normal replay selection in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that ART starts when the actual stop order is middle left and right, and the actual stop order is middle right and left. Is determined not to start ART, and if the actual stop order is other than middle left and right and middle right and left, it is determined that ART does not start.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of normal replay selection in RT2, the sub-control unit 91 is in a determination period (a period from the start of one set of ART until the reception of an ART output command). 6-choice navigation effects that inform the middle / left / right stop order were executed. During the non-determination period (the period after the ART output command was received after the start of one set of ART), the operation was performed in the order of the stop of the ART start. In this case, the left reel is stopped at the first stop when the main control unit 41 determines the number of times that the determination to start ART is fixed (3 times for the first set of ART and 2 times for the second and subsequent ARTs). If three navigation options for informing the order are executed and the operation is performed in the order of stopping the ART start, if the number of determinations for determining the ART start is not reached on the main control unit 41 side, the navigation effect is not executed. .

  When the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of normal replay winning in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that ART starts when the actual stop order is right / left middle, and the actual stop order is right / left / left. In this case, it is determined that the ART is not started, and when the actual stop order is other than the middle right and left middle, it is determined that the ART is not started.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 is selected at the time of normal replay selection in RT2, the sub-control unit 91 is in a determination period (a period from the start of one set of ART until the reception of an ART output command). 6-choice navigation effects informing the stop order in the middle left and right were executed, and during the non-determination period (the period after the ART output command was received after the start of one set of ART), it was operated in the stop order of the ART start. In this case, the left reel is stopped at the first stop when the main control unit 41 determines the number of times that the determination to start ART is fixed (3 times for the first set of ART and 2 times for the second and subsequent ARTs). If three navigation options for informing the order are executed and the operation is performed in the order of stopping the ART start, if the number of determinations for determining the ART start is not reached on the main control unit 41 side, the navigation effect is not executed. .

  When the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of normal replay winning in RT2, the main control unit 41 determines that ART starts when the actual stop order is right middle left, and the actual stop order is right middle left. In this case, it is determined that the ART is not started, and when the actual stop order is other than the middle right and left middle, it is determined that the ART is not started.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of normal replay selection in RT2, the sub-control unit 91 is in a determination period (a period from the start of one set of ART until the reception of an ART output command). 6-choice navigation effects that inform the stop order of the middle right and left are executed, and during the non-determination period (the period after the ART output command is received after the start of one set of ART), it is operated in the stop order of the ART start. If the number of times of determination that the determination of ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side is 3 times (3 times for the first set of ART and 2 times for the second and subsequent ARTs), the left reel is set to the first stop. If the navigation start is performed in the order of stopping the ART start, and the operation is performed in the stop order of the ART start, the navigation control is executed if the number of determinations for determining the ART start is not reached on the main control unit 41 side. do not do.

  When the stop order type 0 or the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning one of the left bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, the main control unit 41 is when the actual stop order is left middle right Is determined to be ART start, if the actual stop order is right and left, it is determined not to be ART start, and if the actual stop order is other than left middle right and left and right middle, it is determined not to be ART start. .

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 0 or the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning one of the left bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 determines the determination period (after one set of ART starts). In the case of the period until the ART output command is received), the six-choice navigation effects informing the stop order of the middle left and right are executed, and the non-judgment period (after one set of ART starts, the ART output command is received) In the period after that, the number of times of determination that the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side when operated in the order of the stop of the ART start (three times for the first set ART, the second and subsequent ARTs) In the case of 2 times), a 6-choice navigation effect that informs the stop order in the left and right directions is executed, and when the ART is operated in the stop order of the ART start, the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side. When the number of judgments is not reached Executes the navigation performance of 3-option for notifying the stop order of the first stops the left reel.

  The main control unit 41 selects the stop order type 2 or the stop order type 3 at the time of winning one of the left bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells in RT2, and when the actual stop order is right and left. When the actual stop order is left middle right, it is determined that the ART is not started, and when the actual stop order is other than left middle right and right / left middle, it is determined that the ART is not started. .

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 or stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning one of the left bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 determines the determination period (after one set of ART starts). In the case of the period until the ART output command is received), six navigation options for informing the stop order in the left and right directions are executed, and the non-determination period (after one set of ART starts, the ART output command is received) In the later period), the number of times of determination that the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side when operated in the order of the stop of the ART start (three for the first set of ARTs, and for the second and subsequent sets of ART) 2 times), 6-choice navigation effects for informing the stop order of the middle left and right are executed, and when the ART is operated in the stop order of the ART start, the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side. When the number of judgments is not reached Executes the navigation performance of 3-option for notifying the stop order of the first stops the left reel.

  When the stop order type 0 or stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning one of the middle bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, When the actual stop order is middle right / left, it is determined that the ART is not started, and when the actual stop order is other than middle left / right and middle right / left, it is determined that the ART is not started.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 0 or stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning one of the middle bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells in RT2, the sub-control unit 91 determines the determination period (after one set of ART starts). In the case of the period until the ART output command is received), the six-choice navigation effects informing the middle / left / right stop order are executed, and the non-determination period (after one set of ART starts, the ART output command is received) In the later period), the number of times of determination that the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side when operated in the order of the stop of the ART start (three for the first set of ARTs, and for the second and subsequent sets of ART) 6 times of navigation effect that informs the stop order of middle right and left is executed, and the determination of the ART start is determined on the main control unit 41 side when operated in the stop order of the ART start. When it is not the number of times Is, the middle reel run the 3-option Navi director of notifying the first stop of a stop order.

  When the stop order type 2 or stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning one of the middle bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, the main control unit 41 is in the case where the actual stop order is middle right and left. When the actual stop order is middle left and right, it is determined that the ART is not started. When the actual stop order is other than middle right and left and middle right and left, it is determined that the ART is not started.

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 or stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning one of the middle bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 determines the determination period (after one set of ART starts). In the case of the period until the ART output command is received), the six-choice navigation effects informing the stop order of the middle right and left are executed, and the non-determination period (after one set of ART starts, the ART output command is received) In the later period), the number of times of determination that the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side when operated in the order of the stop of the ART start (three for the first set of ARTs, and for the second and subsequent sets of ART) 6 times of navigation effect that informs the stop order of middle and left and right, and when the ART control is operated in the stop order of the ART start, the determination of the ART start is determined on the main control unit 41 side When it is not the number of times Is, the middle reel run the 3-option Navi director of notifying the first stop of a stop order.

  When the stop order type 0 or the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning one of the right bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells in RT2, the main control unit 41 is in the case where the actual stop order is right / left middle. When the actual stop order is right middle left, it is determined that the ART is not started, and when the actual stop order is other than right middle left and right middle left, it is determined that the ART is not started. .

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 0 or the stop order type 1 is selected at the time of winning one of the right bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 determines the determination period (after one set of ART starts). In the case of the period until the ART output command is received), six navigation options for informing the stop order in the middle left and right are executed, and the non-determination period (after one set of ART starts, the ART output command is received) In the later period), the number of times of determination that the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side when operated in the order of the stop of the ART start (three for the first set of ARTs, and for the second and subsequent sets of ART) 2 times), 6-choice navigation effects for informing the stop order of the middle right and left are executed, and when the ART is operated in the stop order of the ART start, the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side. When the number of judgments is not reached It is, to the right reel run the 3-option Navi director of notifying the first stop of a stop order.

  The main control unit 41 selects the stop order type 2 or the stop order type 3 at the time of winning one of the right bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, and when the actual stop order is right middle left Is determined to be ART start, if the actual stop order is right / left middle, it is determined not to be ART start, and if the actual stop order is other than right / left middle or right middle / left, it is determined not to be ART start. .

  On the other hand, when the stop order type 2 or the stop order type 3 is selected at the time of winning one of the right bells 1 to 4 among the push order bells at RT2, the sub-control unit 91 determines the determination period (after one set of ART starts). In the case of the period until the ART output command is received), the six-choice navigation effects informing the stop order of the middle right and left are executed, and the non-judgment period (after one set of ART starts, the ART output command is received) In the period after that, the number of times of determination that the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side when operated in the order of the stop of the ART start (three times for the first set ART, the second and subsequent ARTs) 6 times of navigation effects that inform the stop order in the middle of the right and left are executed, and when the ART is operated in the stop order of the ART start, the determination of the ART start is confirmed on the main control unit 41 side. When the number of judgments is not reached It is, to the right reel run the 3-option Navi director of notifying the first stop of a stop order.

  For this reason, when the player performs a stop operation in the order of stop notified by the navigation effect, if the sub-control unit 91 side is in the determination period at the start of ART, the main control unit 41 determines that ART is started, If the sub-control unit 91 is in the non-determination period, the main control unit 41 determines that the ART is not started.

  Next, the flow of control until the main control unit 41 specifies the start of ART at RT2 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the main control unit 41 shifts to RT2 in accordance with the special replay winning (Sm201), the main control unit 41 first sets in the RAM 41c that the first output is the determination period until the output of the first set of ART signals in the series of ARTs. (Sm202).

  Then, for each game after the transition to RT2, it is determined whether the normal replay or the push order bell is won (Sm203, Sm204).

  When either the normal replay or the push order bell is won, one of the stop order types 0 to 3 is randomly selected with an equal probability (1/4) (Sm205).

  Then, it is determined whether or not ART starts from the stop order type and the actual stop order selected in the game in which either the normal replay or the push order is won, and if the ART start is determined, the RAM 41c is determined. 1 is added to the value of a determination counter that counts the number of stop operations in the stop order that is continuously determined at the time of normal replay or push order bell winning (Sm207).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the initial output is set in the RAM 41c, that is, whether or not it is the determination period until the output of the first set of ART signals in the series of ART (Sm208), and the initial output is set. Then, it is determined whether the value of the determination counter is 3, that is, whether the number of stop operations in the stop order in which the ART start is continuously determined at the time of normal replay or pushing order bell win has reached 3 times. (Sm209) If the value of the determination counter is 3, the ART signal is output (Sm211), the value of the determination counter is updated to 0 (Sm212), and if the initial output is set (Sm213), the initial output is performed. clear.

  On the other hand, if the initial output is not set in the RAM 41c after the addition of the determination counter, the value of the determination counter is 2, that is, in the stop order in which the ART start is continuously determined at the time of normal replay or push order bell winning. It is determined whether or not the number of stop operations has reached 2 (Sm210). If the value of the determination counter is 3, an ART signal is output (Sm211), and the value of the determination counter is updated to 0 (Sm212). ) If the initial output is set (Sm213), the initial output is cleared.

  Also, in the game where either the normal replay or the push order bell is won, if it is determined that the ART is not started from the selected stop order type and the actual stop order, the value of the determination counter is updated to 0 ( Sm215), it is determined whether or not RT2 has been completed by winning the fall replay or stopping the transitional outcome (Sm216), and if it is determined that RT2 has ended, the control is terminated.

  Further, even when neither the normal replay nor the push order bell is won in the game after the transition to RT2, it is determined whether or not the RT2 is ended by the falling replay being won or the transition outcome being stopped (Sm216). If it is determined that RT2 is finished, the control is finished.

  According to such control, as shown in FIG. 31, the main control unit 41, in the stop order in which the ART start is determined at the time of normal replay or push order bell winning after the special replay wins and shifts to RT2. Each time a stop operation is performed, the determination counter is incremented by 1, and the start of the ART is determined by the stop operation in the stop counter order in which the value of the determination counter, that is, the normal start of the replay or the pressing order bell is continuously determined. When the number of times reaches the determination number of 3, the ART start is deterministically determined and an ART signal is output.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 31, the sub-control unit 91 shifts to RT2 when a special replay is won at the start of AT, starts the first set of ART, and then the main control unit 41 starts the ART. The start period and the determination period until the ART signal is output, that is, the number of stop operations in the stop order in which the ART start is continuously determined at the time of normal replay or push-bell winning, the ART start is definitely determined 6 options of navigation to notify the stop order (see FIG. 28 and FIG. 29) in which ART start is determined during normal replay or push-bell selection in the determination period until the number of determinations (the first set is 3) When the stop operation is performed in the stop order notified by the player by performing the performance and encouraging the player in the stop order in which the ART start is determined, the first set of AR The main control unit 41 with the start of ART start deterministically is determined, it is possible to output the ART signal.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 31, the main control unit 41 determines the ART start deterministically, updates the value of the determination counter to 0 when the ART signal is output, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. When a normal replay or push order bell is selected, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the ART start is determined. Each time an ART start is determined, the determination counter is incremented by 1, and the value of the determination counter, that is, the normal replay or the push order The number of times that the ART start is determined by the stop operation in which the ART start is continuously determined at the time of the winning of the bell and the number of times the ART start is determined reaches twice, which is the number of determinations, and the ART start is determined deterministically and again Is output.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 32, when the sub control unit 91 continuously starts one set of ART after the end of one set of ART, then the main control unit 41 determines the start of the ART, and the ART signal Is the determination period until the start of the ART, that is, the number of times the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the ART start is continuously determined at the time of normal replay or push-bell selection, and the number of determinations for determining the ART start definitely (from the second set onwards) 6 times of navigation effects are provided to notify the stop order (see FIGS. 28 and 29) in which the ART start is determined when the normal replay or push order bell is won. By prompting the player to perform an operation in the stop order in which the ART start is determined, the stop operation is performed in the stop order notified by the player. The main control unit 41 is deterministically to determine the starting ART, it is possible to output the ART signal.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 31, the sub-control unit 91 determines that the ART starts when the main control unit 41 determinates the start of ART with the start of one set of ART and outputs the ART signal. In the non-determination period that is the period until the end, that is, in the period in which the ART signal output is restricted, when the normal replay is won, when the determination counter is 0, that is, in the stop order in which the ART start is determined once more If the number of determinations is not reached even if the stop operation is made (because it is always the second set or later, twice), the navigation effect is not executed, and the normal replay is won in the non-determination period, and the determination number is 1, That is, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the ART start is determined once more and the stop operation is performed in the stop order, the stop order is determined that the ART is not started. (See FIG. 28 and FIG. 29) 6-choice navigation effects are executed, and the stop operation is performed in the stop order notified by the player, so that after the output of the ART signal accompanying the start of one set of ART, Although the set ART has not started, the main control unit does not determinate the start of ART and outputs an ART signal.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 selects a stop order for determining ART start from a plurality of types of stop orders when the normal replay or push order bell is won in RT2, while the sub-control unit 91 performs a post-ART start. In the determination period, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order for determining the ART start selected by the main control unit 41 at the time of normal replay or push order bell selection is executed, and the player is prompted to perform a stop operation in the stop order. Thus, it is possible to specify that the sub-control unit 91 side has started the ART on the main control unit 41 side by performing the stop operation in the order of stop notified by the player.

  In such a configuration, in addition to the determination period in which the main control unit 41 determines the start of ART, the determination period is determined by the stop operation performed in the stop order in which the ART start is determined when the normal replay or the push order bell is won. Otherwise, the ART start is determined, and the ART signal is output in spite of the fact that one set of ART has not started. Therefore, in the non-determination period other than the determination period, In order for the main control unit 41 not to determine the ART start, it is necessary to notify the stop order in which it is determined that the ART is not started, and to prompt the player in the stop order in which the ART start is not determined. Every time the push order bell wins, the player will be forced to stop in the stop order notified by the navigation effect, increasing the burden on the player. And thus would.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stops the middle reel as the first stop among the six types of stop orders as the stop order for determining the ART start when the normal replay is determined to determine the ART start. One stop order is selected from any stop order in the order (middle left / right, middle right / left) and stop order (right / left middle, right / middle left) with the right reel as the first stop. That is, the stop order for determining the ART start is selected from the stop order other than the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop. For this reason, when it is not a non-determination period, that is, a period during which the sub-control unit 91 determines ART start during ART, the player performs a stop operation in the recommended stop order, that is, the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop. As long as the player is not in the main control unit 41 side, the player is not forced to stop in the order that the main control unit 41 does not start the ART, so the burden on the player can be reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines the ART start by determining the ART winning start a plurality of times, and as a role capable of determining the ART start, a plurality of normal replays and push order bells are provided. Since the winning combination is applied and the opportunity for the main control unit 41 to determine the ART start after the ART start is increased, the period until the ART start is determined can be shortened, and the sub-control unit 91 executes the ART. The time lag from the start to the output of the ART signal can be reduced.

  Further, in this embodiment, at the time of starting the first set of ART that first shifts from the normal state, the ART of the second and subsequent sets is more than the number of times that the ART start is determined before it is determined deterministically. The number of times that the ART start is determined before the start of the ART is deterministically determined at the start is set to be smaller. The start of ART is determined deterministically in a short period. This is because even in the normal state, it may accidentally shift to RT2, and in order to determine the first set of ART start, whether or not the operation was performed in the stop order for determining the ART start over a longer period. It is necessary to confirm whether it has shifted to RT2 by accident or whether it has shifted to RT2 by being controlled by AT, whereas in the case of starting ART after the second set, it is It is almost impossible to think that it has shifted to RT2, and in ART after the second set, the player's consciousness to stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified by the navigation effect has already increased, and without following the notification This is because it is difficult to consider a stop operation, and it is possible to accurately determine that the ART is started even in a short period. As a result, in the second and subsequent ARTs, the ART after the sub-control unit 91 starts the ART is prevented while preventing the accidental start of the ART from being controlled by the ART. The time lag until the signal is output can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 selects one of the stop orders as the stop order for determining the ART start from the stop order of 6 choices (actually the stop order of 4 choices) when the normal replay is won. If the stop order of both the first stop reel and the second stop reel does not match the selected stop order, the ART start is not determined, but the first stop reel must match. For example, the ART start is not determined regardless of the second stop reel. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 executes six-choice navigation effects that notify the stop order for determining the start of ART when the normal replay is won in the determination period for both the first stop reel and the second stop reel. In the non-determination period, a three-choice navigation effect is provided in which only the first stop reel is notified of the stop order in which the ART start is not determined at the time of normal replay winning. For this reason, even if the normal replay is won in the non-determination period and the navigation effect is executed, if the player performs a stop operation to set the notified first stop reel as the first stop, Since the stop order is not notified and the stop operation can be performed in any order, the burden on the player can be further reduced.

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines the ART start when the number of times of the stop order for determining the start of ART continuously during the normal replay and pushing order bell win is two or more determination times. In the case where the number of determinations is not reached even when the stop order for determining ART start is not reached during normal replay winning in the non-determination period, the navigation effect is not executed. In addition, since the player can perform the stop operation in an arbitrary order, the burden on the player can be further reduced.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 wins the pushing order bell, the first stop reel that ensures the winning of the small combination is assigned, and the ART start is started from the stop order after the second stop reel. The stop order to be determined is selected, and if the first stop reel matches the stop order that reliably wins the small role, the value given to the player is the same regardless of the subsequent stop order. On the other hand, if the stop order after the second stop reel does not coincide with the selected stop order, the ART start is not determined. In addition, as described above, the main control unit 41 confirms the start of ART when the number of times of the stop order for determining the start of ART continuously during the normal replay and pushing order bell win is two or more determination times. And the sub-control unit 91 notifies the stop order for determining the ART start in both the first stop reel and the second stop reel when the push order bell is won in the determination period. If the number of determinations does not reach the stop order for determining ART start in the non-determination period, only the first stop reel that reliably wins the small role is notified at the time of winning the bell 3 Selective navigation effects are executed. For this reason, even if the number of determinations is not reached even if the stop order in which ART start is determined in the non-determination period, the player is notified even when the push order bell is won and the navigation effect is executed. If a stop operation is performed to stop the reel in the first stop, the stop order of the reels after the second stop is not notified, and the stop operation can be performed in any order, further reducing the burden on the player. be able to.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 other than the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop among the six types of stop orders as the stop order for determining the ART start when the normal replay is determined to determine the ART start. The stop order for determining the ART start is selected from the stop order, that is, the ART start is always determined in a stop order other than the recommended stop order, but the main control unit 41 determines the start of the normal replay. As long as the operation mode for determining the start of ART at the time is a configuration in which the ratio of selecting an operation mode other than the recommended operation mode is set higher than the ratio of selecting the recommended operation mode recommended for the player In the non-determination period, that is, the period when the sub-control unit 91 is not determined to start ART during ART, the player performs a stop operation in the recommended operation mode. As far that, since the ratio has strength to the player operation mode is not determined that the ART started by the main controller 41 side is low, it is possible to reduce the burden on the player.

  In addition, as the operation mode for determining the ART start when the main control unit 41 determines the ART start when the normal replay is won, the rate at which an operation mode other than the recommended operation mode is selected is higher than the rate of selecting the recommended operation mode. Highly set means that when there are a plurality of operation modes other than the recommended operation mode, the combined ratio of the ratios at which each of the plurality of operation modes other than the recommended operation mode is selected is higher than the ratio of selecting the recommended operation mode. If it is set to a high value, even if the rate at which some of the operation modes other than the recommended operation mode are selected is set to the same or higher rate than the rate at which the recommended operation mode is selected, As long as the player performs the stop operation in the recommended operation mode, the ratio of forcing the player to perform the operation mode that is not determined to be the ART start on the main control unit 41 side is low. , It is possible to reduce the burden of the player.

  For example, the operation mode in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop is the recommended operation mode, the operation mode in the middle left / right stop order, the operation mode in the middle right / left stop order, the operation mode in the right / left middle stop order, the middle right When the operation mode of the stop order on the left is an operation mode that is not the recommended operation mode, the first control is used as the operation mode for determining the ART start when the main control unit 41 wins the normal replay for determining the ART start. The operation mode in the stop order to be stopped is 20%, the operation mode in the middle left / right stop order, the operation mode in the middle right / left stop order, the operation mode in the right / left middle stop order, and the operation mode in the right / left / left stop order When the ratio is selected at a rate of 20%, the ratio at which the recommended mode of operation is selected and the ratio at which the mode of operation other than the recommended mode of operation is selected are selected equally when compared with each mode of operation. Recommended operation mode is selected As long as the player is performing a stop operation in the recommended operation mode by setting the sum of the ratios in which the operation modes other than the recommended operation mode are selected to be higher, the ART on the main control unit 41 side Since the ratio of forcing the player to perform the operation mode that is not determined to be the start is reduced, the burden on the player can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 applies the stop order of reels, that is, the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to each reel are operated as a stop mode for determining the ART start. The timing at which one of the reels is stopped may be applied, or both the stop order and the timing at which the reel is operated may be applied.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines the ART start when the normal replay is determined to determine the ART start. As an operation mode for determining the ART start, the recommended stop order set for the slot machine 1, that is, for the player A configuration that selects only an operation mode other than the recommended operation mode recommended for the player, or a configuration that selects an operation mode other than the recommended operation mode recommended for the player at a higher rate than the operation mode recommended for the player. If there is a configuration in which the ratio of selecting an operation mode other than one operation mode is set higher than the rate of selecting at least one operation mode as the operation mode for determining ART start, the non-determination period, that is, If the sub-control unit 91 is not in a period for determining whether to start ART during ART, the main control unit 41 does not determine that ART is started. It is possible to relatively increase the rate at which the operation mode notified by the departure becomes one operation mode, and the operation mode that the player is forced to change so that the main control unit 41 does not determine that the ART starts is changed. Since it becomes difficult, the burden on the player can be reduced.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a recommended operation mode recommended for the player, there is no penalty in a situation where the AT is not controlled by the ART or the ART or the navigation effect is not executed, and the player can play the game. The operation mode that increases the expected value of the game value that can be acquired in the game and the operation mode that makes it easier to identify the situation that is advantageous to the player is applied, but the operation mode that is most difficult to miss the winning combination, the winning combination is specified An operation mode that is easy to perform may be applied, or a combination of these operation modes may be applied.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 applies two types of normal replay and push order bells for determining the ART start. However, only one of the combinations may be applied. The role of may be applied.

  In this embodiment, the stop order type is randomly selected at the time of normal replay and push order bell wins, and the stop mode for determining the ART start changes according to the selected stop order type. In the case of a combination of a plurality of winning combinations with different internal lottery results, such as a bell, the stop mode for determining the start of ART may be changed according to the combination of winning combinations. In this case, the stop mode for determining the ART start may be notified during the determination period according to the combination of winning combinations, and the stop mode for determining that the ART start is not started during the non-determination period may be used.

  Further, in this embodiment, at the time of winning the normal replay and push order bell, an internal winning command that can specify the stop order type selected at that time in addition to the fact that the winning combination has been won is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. The sub-control unit 91 can specify the stop order in which the ART start is determined, but the sub-control unit 91 transmits the command that can specify the stop order type separately from the internal winning command, so that the sub-control unit 91 It is good also as a structure which can specify the stop order from which a start is determined. In addition, when the winning combination is a combination of a plurality of winning combinations with different internal lottery results as described above, it is possible to specify the stop order in which the ART start is determined according to the winning combination specified from the internal winning command. It ’s fine.

  In this embodiment, ART start is applied as the control state of the sub-control unit 91 specified by the main control unit 41. However, the control state of the sub-control unit 91 is set to a predetermined control state and a state that is not the predetermined control state. The main control unit 41 may be configured to be able to specify whether or not it is in a predetermined control state. In such a configuration, the main control unit 41 performs predetermined control when a predetermined role for determining a predetermined control state is won. As a configuration for selecting the operation mode other than the recommended operation mode, or a configuration in which the ratio of selecting the operation mode other than the recommended operation mode is set higher than the ratio of selecting the recommended operation mode as the operation mode for determining the state. If there is a non-determination period, that is, a period in which the sub-control unit 91 does not determine the start of ART during ART, the player performs a stop operation in the recommended operation mode. As long as the player does not, the main control unit 41 does not impose an operation mode that is not determined to be an ART start on the player, or the ratio is reduced, so that the player's burden can be reduced. .

  Further, in this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 wins the normal replay or push order bell, the number of times that the ART start is continuously determined is 2 or more (the first set is 3 times, the second set or later) Is configured to determine the ART start by determining the ART start by determining the ART start even once when the normal replay or push order bell is won. Alternatively, even if the start of ART is not continuously determined when the normal replay or push order bell is won, the number of times that the ART start is determined when the normal replay or push order bell is won in a certain period is greater than the number of determinations. It is good also as a structure which determines ART start by determining start.

  Further, in this embodiment, at the time of starting the first set of ART that first shifts from the normal state, the ART of the second and subsequent sets is more than the number of times that the ART start is determined before it is determined deterministically. The number of times that the ART start is determined before the start of the ART is deterministically determined at the start is set to be smaller, so that the ART start after the second set than the start of the first set The ART start is determined deterministically in a short period of time. For example, at the start of the first set of ARTs, only the normal replay is applied as a role capable of determining the ART start, and the ARTs of the second and subsequent sets are used. At the time of starting, in addition to the normal replay, the push order bell is applied as a role capable of determining the ART start, that is, the AR after the second set than when the first set of ART is started. By increasing the types of roles that can determine the ART start at the start, the ART start is deterministically determined in a shorter period than the first set of the ART start at the second set or later. The ART start may be deterministically determined in a shorter period at the start of the second and subsequent ARTs than at the start of the first set of ARTs. Even in such a configuration, the ART is controlled. In the second and subsequent ARTs, the sub-control unit 91 starts the ART and outputs the ART signal while preventing the accidental determination that the ART is started despite being not performed. Time lag can be reduced.

  Also, after the ART start is determined once, the ART start is determined in a period until the predetermined number of games elapses, or after the ART start is determined once, the predetermined game number elapses. In the configuration in which the ART start is deterministically determined by determining the ART start more than the number of times, a period of a predetermined number of games is applied in which the ART start after the second set is smaller than the ART start at the first set. Thus, the ART start may be deterministically determined in a shorter period at the ART start after the second set than at the start of the first set. Even in such a configuration, In the second and subsequent ARTs, the sub-control unit 91 prevents the accidental determination that the ART is started even though it is not controlled by the ART. It is possible to reduce the time lag from the start of the RT to the output of ART signal.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a winning combination suggestion effect at the start of the game during the ART in accordance with the result of the internal lottery in the game. The winning combination suggestion effect is an effect that suggests that any combination is won in the game, and includes a winning combination suggestion generation that indicates that any one of the plurality of combinations is winning.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a continuation suggesting effect at the start of the game during the ART depending on the presence or absence of the navigation stock. The continuation suggestion effect is an effect that suggests the possibility that the next set of ARTs will continue even after the currently running ART ends, with the navigation stock remaining.

  The sub-control unit 91 can also be used during a normal replay win during ART, a weak cherry that triggers the Navistock lottery, a strong cherry win, that is, a win that is a more advantageous situation for the player than a normal replay win. As shown in FIG. 33 (a), both the symbol corresponding to the normal replay and the symbol corresponding to the strong cherry and the weak cherry are displayed, so that either the normal replay or the weak cherry or the strong cherry is won. It is possible to execute a winning role suggestion effect that suggests the effect. Hereinafter, the winning combination suggestion effect that suggests that one of the normal replay, weak cherry, and strong cherry is winning is referred to as a specific winning combination suggestion effect.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91, as shown in FIG. 33 (b), at least at the time of normal replay winning during ART, provides a continuation suggestion effect that suggests the possibility that the ART will continue simultaneously with the notification of the stop order accompanying the navigation effect. It is possible to execute.

  When the normal replay is won during ART, whether the specific winning combination suggesting effect is executed or whether the continuous suggesting effect is executed depends on whether the sub-control unit 91 indicates that the normal replay is won during the ART. When the command is received, the production pattern corresponding to the specific winning combination suggestion production is selected, the production pattern for executing the continuous suggestion production is selected, or the specific winning combination suggestion production or the continuous suggestion production Whether or not a pattern is selected is also determined.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the normal replay is won during the ART, if the navigation effect for notifying the stop order in which the non-determination period is determined and it is determined that the ART is not started is not executed, the specific winning is performed. An effect pattern for executing a role suggestion effect and an effect pattern for executing a continuation suggestion effect can be selected, that is, both a specific winning combination suggestion effect and a continuation suggestion effect can be executed. When the normal replay is won, the above-described determination period is used, and when the navigation effect for notifying the stop order in which the ART start is determined is executed, the stop order in which it is determined that it is a non-determination period and not the ART start is determined. In the case of executing a navigation effect to be notified, a continuation indication is shown out of the effect pattern for executing the specific winning combination suggestion effect and the effect pattern for executing the continuation suggestion effect. Only effect pattern to perform an effect so that the can be selected. That is, in such a case, execution of the specific winning combination suggestion effect is restricted, and only the continuous suggestion effect is executed among the specific winning combination suggestion effect and the continuous suggestion effect.

  In addition, when the normal replay is won during ART, it is the above-described determination period, and when performing the navigation effect informing the stop order in which the ART start is determined, it is a non-determination period and it is determined that the ART is not started. In the case of executing a navigation effect that informs the stop order to be performed, when the normal replay is won during the ART, the navigation that informs the stop order in which it is determined that it is the aforementioned non-determination period and that the ART is not started. It is determined that the ratio of selecting the effect pattern for executing the continuation suggestion effect is higher than when the effect is not executed, and the continuation suggestion effect is executed as much as the execution of the specific winning combination suggestion effect is restricted. The proportion is increasing.

  In this embodiment, when the normal replay is won during ART, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not ART starts according to the stop order, and the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the main control unit 41 starts ART. The navigation effect for informing the stop order for the purpose is performed.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 receives one of the normal replay, weak cherry, and strong cherry at the time of normal replay winning during ART, weak cherry, which is more advantageous to the player than normal replay winning, It is possible to perform a specific winning role suggestion effect that suggests that there is a weak cherry or a strong cherry in the period until the reel is stopped even during normal replay winning However, at the time of normal replay winning, when executing a navigation effect informing the stop order for the main control unit 41 to determine whether or not to start ART, when executing a specific winning combination suggestion effect, Despite executing the specific winning role suggestion effect, the normal replay win is confirmed before any reels are stopped. Despite perform the role suggested production, so that it becomes impossible to expect the winning of weak cherry or strong cherry.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the normal replay is won during ART, the navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the ART start is determined or the navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which it is determined that the ART is not started is displayed. In the case of execution, the execution of the specific winning combination suggestion effect is restricted so that the specific winning combination suggestion effect is not executed, and the navigation effect is executed even though the specific winning combination suggestion effect is executed. Despite the fact that the winning of the weak cherry or strong cherry, which is more advantageous for the player than the normal replay, is denied and the winning of the normal replay is confirmed, the specific winning role suggestion effect was executed, It is possible to prevent a weak cherry or a strong cherry from being expected to win.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a normal replay is won during ART, the possibility that the next set of ART will continue, that is, a situation advantageous to a player who is not directly related to the winning combination of the game, A suggestion of continuous suggestion can be executed, and when normal replay is won during ART, when normal replay is won during ART, it is not a navigation effect or ART start that informs the stop order in which ART start is determined In the case of executing a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the effect is determined, the navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the ART start is determined or the navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which it is determined that the ART is not started is executed. Since the continuation suggestion production is executed at a higher rate than if not, the execution of the winning combination suggestion production is restricted and the delay The period of time can be filled by continuing suggests director.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a normal replay is won during ART, a weak cherry that is more advantageous to the player than a normal replay win by becoming a target of the Navistock lottery, a normal replay or weak cherry, While it is possible to execute a specific winning combination suggesting effect that suggests that one of the strong cherries has been won, in order to determine whether or not the main control unit 41 starts ART during normal replay winning In the configuration of executing the navigation effect that informs the stop order of the game, when the navigation effect is executed at the time of normal replay winning, the execution of the specific winning combination suggesting effect is restricted, but at least the first combination and the first A second winning combination that is more advantageous to the player than the first winning combination, and a specific winning combination suggesting effect that suggests that either the first winning combination or the second winning combination is won. If it is configured to execute a navigation effect in which the main control unit 41 is notified of the stop order for determining the control state of the sub-control unit 91 at the time of winning the first role, the navigation effect at the time of the first role winning When the specific winning combination suggestion effect is restricted when the specific winning combination suggestion effect is executed, the player is more than the first combination by executing the navigation effect even though the specific winning combination suggestion effect is executed. The winning of the second role, which is advantageous to the player, is denied, and the winning of the first role is confirmed, so that the winning of the second role is expected despite the execution of the specific winning role suggestion effect. It is possible to prevent it from becoming impossible. In this case, the fact that the second combination is more advantageous to the player than the first combination is advantageous to the player such that more medals are awarded than the first combination or a navigation stock lottery is executed. Such as giving a preferential treatment over the first combination when a special privilege is given or a privilege advantageous for these players is given.
