Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot machine, even when a condition of controlling to a delay state is established once, capable of regulating that a game state is controlled to the delay state according to a situation.SOLUTION: When an event triggering a freeze state occurs, a main control part 41 controls the game to the freeze state on condition that a stop operation is executed in a specific operation mode in a specific game set by the occurrence of the event. When the event triggering the freeze state occurs, if the specific game set by the occurrence of the event is in a state permitting a performance corresponding to the freeze state, a sub control part 91 executes a navigation performance for notifying of the specific operation state to prompt a stop operation at the specific operation mode, thus controlling the game to the freeze state. However, even when the event triggering the freeze state occurs, if the specific game set by the occurrence of the event is in a state not permitting the performance corresponding to the freeze state, regulates the execution of the navigation performance for notifying of the specific operation mode.

Description

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

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

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

JP 2012-81262 A

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

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

In order to solve the above-described problem, a slot machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
The game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and a variable display device (reel 2L, 2C, 2R) is a slot machine (slot machine 1) in which one game is finished by deriving the display result and winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device,
Game control means (main control unit 41) for controlling the game;
Production control means (sub control unit 91) for controlling production based on control information (command) transmitted from the game control means (main control unit 41);
Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated when deriving display results from the variable display devices (reels 2L, 2C, 2R);
With
The game control unit (main control unit 41) and the effect control unit (sub control unit 91) are unidirectional from the game control unit (main control unit 41) to the effect control unit (sub control unit 91). It is connected only for communication,
The game control means (main control unit 41) is a specific game (RT1) that satisfies the first condition (normally at RT1 + special replay 7 win / special replay win at RT3) and is set according to the first condition. In the normal + special replay 7 winning game / RT1 normal + special replay 7 winning determination game / RT3 special replay winning game), the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) are specified. The second condition that is established by operating in the operation mode (stop order in which the right reel is the first stop) (stop that makes the right reel the first stop in a game in which normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1) Stop operation in order / RT1 normal + special replay 7 In the determination game after winning, stop operation in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop / RT3 special When the stop operation is performed in the order of stop in which the right reel is stopped first in the determination game after winning a play, the progress of the game after the establishment timing of the second condition is delayed for a predetermined period. Including a delay state control means for controlling to a delay state (freeze state);
The production control means (sub control unit 91)
A specific effect execution means capable of executing a specific effect (ART confirmation notification / addition status winning notification) in the delay state (freeze state);
Specific production permission state control for controlling to a specific production permission state (a state where the navigation stock is won / a state where the addition state is won) in which execution of the specific production (ART confirmation notification / addition state winning notification) is allowed Means,
A specific performance permissible state determination means for determining whether or not the specific performance permissible state is controlled (a state where the navigation stock is won / a state where the added state is selected);
Specific operation mode request effect (right) that requires the player to operate the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) in the specific operation mode (stop order with the right reel as the first stop) A specific operation mode request effect executing means capable of executing a navigation effect informing the stop order of the reels as the first stop;
Including
Whether or not the delay state control means is controlled to be in the specific effect permissible state (a state where the navigation stock is won / a state where the added state is won) on the side of the effect control means (sub control unit 91). Regardless, the first condition (normal + special replay 7 win at RT1 / special replay win at RT3) is established, and the second condition (normal + special replay 7 win at RT1) is won in the right reel Stop operation in the stop order with the first stop / RT1 normal + special replay 7 In the determination game after winning, stop operation in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop / Special in RT3 Control in the delay state (freeze state) when a stop operation is made in the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first in the determination game after the replay winning,
The specific operation request effect execution means is determined by the specific effect allowance state determination means to be controlled to the specific effect allowance state (a state where the navigation stock is won / an added state is won). Sometimes, the specific game set according to the first condition (a game in which normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1 / a game in which normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1 / a decision game after winning special replay in RT3 / RT3 ) To execute the specific operation mode request effect (navigation effect informing the stop order in which the right reel is first stopped), and the specific effect permissible state (navigator stock is won) by the specific effect permissible state determining means. When it is determined that the state / additional state is not controlled), the specific game set by the first condition (in RT1) Normal + special replay 7 winning game / RT1 Normal + special replay 7 winning determination game / RT3 special replay winning determination game) The specific operation mode request effect (stop with right reel as first stop) (Navi production to inform the order)
The slot machine performs the specific operation mode (stop with the right reel as the first stop) when the specific operation mode request effect (navigation effect informing the stop order with the right reel as the first stop) is not being executed. In order, when the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) are operated, there is a disadvantage that causes a disadvantage (control of penalty period, transition to RT1 more advantageous than RT3) to the player It is characterized by further comprising generating means.
According to this feature, the first condition is satisfied, and the second condition is satisfied by operating the derivation operation means in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the first condition. Controlled to delay state. In addition, the specific operation mode request effect is executed in the specific game set by the first condition only when it is determined that the specific effect that is executed in the delay state is controlled to be allowed to be executed. When the player is prompted to operate the derivation operation means in a specific operation mode, but is determined not to be controlled to the specific performance allowance state, the specific game set by the first condition It is possible to prevent the delay operation from being controlled by restricting the execution of the specific operation mode request effect in the game and not operating the derivation operation means in the specific operation mode in the specific game. Even if the condition of 1 is established, if the specific production permission state is not controlled, the control of the delay state can be restricted, so that the specific production is not executed but the freeze is performed. Possible to prevent the control of the state. Further, when the specific operation mode request effect is not being executed, a disadvantage is generated for the player by operating the derivation operation means in the specific operation mode, so it is determined that the specific operation permission state is not controlled. In such a case, it is possible to effectively prevent the derivation operation means from being operated in a specific operation mode in the specific game set according to the first condition. It can prevent more effectively that it will be controlled.

The first condition is a condition for controlling to the delay state. For example, it is determined that a specific display result is derived to the variable display device and that a specific winning is permitted. For example, winning a lottery to control the delay state is applicable.
Further, the specific game set according to the first condition may be a game in which the first condition is satisfied, or a game after the game in which the first condition is satisfied.
In addition, after the timing when the second condition is satisfied, if the specific operation mode in the specific game is an operation mode until the display result is derived in all the variable display areas, the display result is displayed in all the variable display areas. If it is the timing after the derived time point and the operation result is derived until the display result is derived to some of the variable display areas, the display result is derived to the part of the variable display areas. It is the timing after the point in time.
The operation mode of the derivation operation means corresponds to the timing at which the derivation operation means is operated, the order in which the derivation operation means is operated, a combination thereof, and the like.
In addition, the delay state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period may be a state in which the timing at which the operation related to the progress of the game becomes valid is delayed for a predetermined period, or the acceptance of the operation related to the progress of the game is invalidated It may be in a state where the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period.
Further, restricting the execution of the specific operation mode request effect may be a configuration in which the specific operation mode request effect is not executed, or a configuration in which an effect requesting an operation mode other than the specific operation mode is executed.
Also, the specific effect is an effect informing the start or end of a specific game state, an effect that suggests an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, an effect that suggests the start of an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, An effect that suggests the possibility of a situation that is advantageous to the player, an effect that establishes a situation that is advantageous to the player, and the like.
In addition, if the effect is to notify the start or end of a specific game state, the state where the start condition or end condition of the specific game state is satisfied is a state where the specific effect is allowed, and the specific game state A state in which the start condition and the end condition are not satisfied is a state in which the specific performance is not allowed. In addition, if the specific effect is an effect suggesting an advantageous state, the state controlled to the advantageous state is a state where the specific effect is allowed, and the state not controlled to the advantageous state is a state where the specific effect is not allowed is there. Further, if the specific effect is an effect that suggests the start of the advantageous state, the state that is determined to be controlled to the advantageous state is a state in which the specific effect is allowed, and the control to the advantageous state is determined. Although it is determined to control to an advantageous state, there is a state where a specific effect is not allowed, such as a state where control to an advantageous state is restricted as a penalty (disadvantage). In addition, if it is an effect that suggests the possibility that the specific effect is in an advantageous situation, and an effect in which the advantageous situation is confirmed, the execution of these effects is a state where the specific effect is allowed, When the execution of these effects is not determined, the specific effect is not allowed.
In addition, the situation that is advantageous to the player corresponds to, for example, being controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, or being granted a privilege that is advantageous to the player.
The advantageous state advantageous to the player means that the probability that a display result advantageous to the player is derived, the probability that the display result advantageous to the player is permitted to be derived is higher than the normal state, This is a state that is advantageous to the player by notifying an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player. Further, in a configuration that is advantageous for the player by achieving the task by the end of the predetermined state, this predetermined state, that is, a state that is advantageous for the player by increasing the period is applied as the advantageous state. Also good.
Further, a privilege advantageous to the player means a right that allows the player to shift to the advantageous state advantageous to the player (winning a lottery for determining whether or not to generate the advantageous state, shifting to the advantageous state. Winning is permitted, etc.), a right to be notified of an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player, a right to be controlled to a gaming state with a high expected value to which a gaming value is given, It may be a privilege that is directly advantageous to the player, such as the right to notify whether or not the gaming state is advantageous to the player, and is not directly advantageous to the player. A benefit that is indirectly advantageous to the player, such as a condition for obtaining the benefit above, may be used.
The disadvantage generation means may be included in the game control means or may be included in the effect control means. If it is the former, for example, when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation mode, a configuration that may shift to a gaming state that is more disadvantageous to the player than the current situation is applicable, and if the latter, In addition, when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation mode, a configuration in which a privilege that is advantageous to the player cannot be given over a predetermined period of time or a state in which the advantage is low can be applied. .

The slot machine according to means 1 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1,
A situation (ART / additional state) advantageous to the player is suggested by executing the specific effect (ART confirmation notification / additional state winning notification),
The specific operation mode request effect execution means may be a game other than the specific game set according to the first condition (a game other than the RT1 determination game / game other than the RT3 determination game and a normal replay winning game). The specific operation mode request effect (navigation effect informing the stop order with the right reel as the first stop) can be executed.
According to this feature, a game other than the specific game set according to the first condition, that is, a situation where the derivation operation means is not controlled in the delayed state even if the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation mode, that is, the specific effect is executed Even if the situation is not controlled by the delay state, the specific operation mode request effect is executed, so that the player can realize that the specific effect is executed, that is, the situation is advantageous to the player. Expectation can be raised.

The slot machine according to means 2 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1 or means 1, wherein
When special conditions (normal + special replay 7 win in RT3) are established, the derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) are in a special operation mode (stop order with the right reel as the first stop) When operated, a special display result (special replay winning mode) is led to the variable display device (reels 2L, 2C, 2R), and operations other than the special operation mode (stop order with the right reel as the first stop) When operated in a mode, a special time derivation control means (main control) that performs control for causing the variable display device (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) to derive a display result other than the special display result (a winning mode of the normal replay 1) Part 41),
When the special condition (normal + special replay 7 win in RT3) is established, the special operation mode notification effect (right reel) that notifies the special operation mode (stop order in which the right reel is the first stop) can be specified. Special operation mode notification effect execution means (sub control unit 91) for executing a navigation effect that notifies the stop order of the first stop),
With
The first condition is that the special display result (a special replay winning mode in RT3) is derived,
The specific effect allowance state control means executes the special operation mode notification effect (navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel is first stopped) and derives the special display result (special replay winning mode). Control to the specific performance permissible state (the state where the navigation stock is won / the state where the added state is won), and the special operation mode notification effect (the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first is notified) When the special display result (special replay winning mode) is derived without the execution of the navigation effect), the specific effect permission state (the state where the navigation stock is won / the state where the added state is won) is entered. It is characterized by not being controlled.
According to this feature, it is possible to control whether or not the first condition is intentionally satisfied on the slot machine side depending on whether or not the special operation mode notification effect is executed when the special condition is satisfied. Only when the first condition is intentionally established on the side, it is controlled to be in the specific effect allowed state, and the specific operation mode request effect is executed in the specific game set according to the first condition, and the delay state is controlled. On the other hand, if a special display result is derived in spite of the fact that the special operation mode notification effect is not executed, that is, if the first condition is unintentionally established on the slot machine side, the specific effect is allowed. When the execution of the specific operation mode request effect is restricted in the specific game set by the first condition without controlling the state, the slot machine side unintentionally satisfies the first condition. It can be regulated to be controlled in the delay state.

The slot machine according to means 3 of the present invention is the slot machine according to claim 1, means 1 or 2,
After the first condition (normal + special replay 7 win in RT1 / special replay win in RT3) is established, the specific game (determined game after normal + special replay 7 win in RT1 / special replay win in RT3) A specific game changing means (determination game lottery) for randomly changing a period until a later determination game) is provided.
According to this feature, since the period until the specific game that is controlled to the delayed state by operating the derivation operation means in the specific operation mode after the first condition is satisfied changes randomly. It becomes difficult to specify the specific game set by the condition 1, and it is possible to prevent the slot machine side from being unintentionally controlled to the delay state.

The slot machine according to means 4 of the present invention is the slot machine according to any one of claims 1 and 1 to 3,
Regardless of whether or not the delay control unit is controlled to the specific control permissible state (a state in which the navigation stock is won) on the side of the control unit (sub control unit 91), the first condition (Normal + special replay 7 win at RT1) is established, and the second condition (normal + special replay 7 win at RT1) is stopped in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop in the determination game after winning In addition to the above, the predetermined timing at the predetermined timing set by the first condition (the period from the start of the normal + special replay 7 winning game at RT1 until any stop operation is performed) Then, it is assumed that the third condition (the MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times) that is satisfied when a predetermined operation (MAXBET switch 6) not related to the progress of the game is performed is satisfied. The controlled delay state (freeze state),
The effect control means (sub-control unit 91) is a predetermined operation capable of executing a predetermined operation request effect (a predetermined operation request effect that prompts the MAXBET switch 6 to be operated ten times or more) for requesting the player to perform the predetermined operation. Including requested production execution means,
When the predetermined operation request effect execution means determines that the specific effect allowance state determination means is controlled to the specific effect allowance state (a state where the navigation stock is won), the first condition is satisfied. The predetermined operation request effect (10 times or more of the MAXBET switch 6 is urged) at the predetermined timing set (the period from the start of the normal + special replay 7 winning game at RT1 until any stop operation is performed) Predetermined operation request effect) is executed, and when it is determined by the specific effect allowance state determination means that the specific effect allowance state (the state in which the navigation stock is won) is not controlled, according to the first condition The above-described predetermined timing (the period from the start of the normal + special replay 7 winning game at RT1 until any stop operation is performed) It is characterized by regulating the execution of the constant operation request effect (predetermined operation request directed to encourage the 10 times or more operations MAXBET switch 6).
According to this feature, the first condition is satisfied, and the second condition is satisfied by operating the derivation operation means in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the first condition. When a predetermined operation that is not related to the progress of the game is performed at a predetermined timing set by the first condition, the third condition is established and the delay state is controlled. In addition, the specific operation mode request effect is executed in the specific game set by the first condition only when it is determined that the specific effect that is executed in the delay state is controlled to be allowed to be executed. The player is urged to operate the derivation operation means in a specific operation mode, executes a predetermined operation request effect at a predetermined timing set by the first condition, and prompts the player to perform a predetermined operation. In the case where it is determined that the control is not controlled to the specific effect permission state, the execution of the specific operation mode request effect in the specific game set by the first condition is restricted, and the specific operation mode in the specific game is controlled. The operation of the derivation operation means is not allowed, the execution of the predetermined operation request effect at the predetermined timing set by the first condition is restricted, and the predetermined operation at the predetermined timing is not allowed It is possible to prevent the delay state from being controlled, and even if the first condition is satisfied and one of the second condition and the third condition is satisfied, the control is performed in the specific rendering allowable state. If not, the control of the delay state can be restricted, so that it is possible to more effectively prevent the control from being performed in the freeze state even though the specific effect is not executed.
Note that the predetermined timing set by the first condition may be a timing in a game in which the first condition is satisfied, or may be a timing in a game after the game in which the first condition is satisfied.
In addition, the specific operation not related to the progress of the game at a predetermined timing may be an operation of the operating means not related to the progress of the game at all, or in order to set the bet number when the predetermined timing cannot be set. Operation of the operation means, operation of the operation means for starting the game when the predetermined timing is a state where the game cannot be started, display when the predetermined timing is a state where the variable display device cannot derive the display result The operation of the operation means used for derivation of the result may be an operation of the operation means related to the progress of the game except at a predetermined timing but not related to the progress of the game at the predetermined timing.
Further, restricting the execution of the predetermined operation request effect may be a configuration in which the various wisdom operation request effect is not executed, or a configuration in which an effect requesting an operation other than the predetermined operation is executed.
Further, the delay state control means may be configured to control to the delay state by satisfying the third condition after the first condition is satisfied and the second condition is satisfied. After the first condition is satisfied and the third condition is satisfied, the delay condition may be controlled by the second condition being satisfied, or after the first condition is satisfied, A configuration in which one of the condition and the third condition is satisfied, and the other condition of the second condition and the third condition is satisfied, and the delay state is controlled.

The slot machine according to means 5 of the present invention is the slot machine according to means 4,

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 this 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. When the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, a power interruption process (main) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the next return is performed. Run.

  Then, regardless of whether it is a system reset or a user reset, the main control unit 41 is based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the AM41c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register, and the RAM abnormal error state is controlled, and the game progresses. Is supposed to be disabled.

  Further, 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 interruption process (sub), and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, A power interruption process (sub) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the next return is executed.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 returns the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the data of the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, 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.

  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.

  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. Now, all the areas of the RAM 41c are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of RT3. In initialization 2, a general work, an unused area, and an unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. 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 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. 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, the reel stop control is performed by using a stop control table that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing at which the stop operation is performed. A configuration that performs stop control by specifying the stop position from the table and stopping the reel at the specified stop position, and searching for a stop position that can be stopped when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or the stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control that identifies and stops the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and can be stopped without using the stop control table or the stop position table A configuration that uses stop control by searching and specifying the stop position together, and a configuration that performs stop control by partially changing the stop control table and stop position table. It may be.

  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.

  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 stop order type command, a freeze command 1, a freeze command 2, a reel rotation start command, and a reel stop command. Multiple types including winning number command, payout start command, payout end command, return command, gaming state command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, door command, operation detection command 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.

  The stop order type command is the stop selected in the stop order type selection lottery performed at the time of winning the target role (in this embodiment, lost, normal replay, normal + special replay 7) to which the stop order type is applied in the internal lottery. This command can identify the order type, and is transmitted after the internal winning command is transmitted when the target role is won.

  The freeze command 1 is a flag indicating whether or not a freeze reservation flag (a flag indicating that a freeze operation is controlled by a stop operation being performed in a specific operation mode in the determination game), This is a command that can usually specify the number of replays, and is transmitted at the end of the game.

  The freeze command 2 is a command that can specify that it is controlled to the freeze state, that is, that the bet number setting operation of the next game or the start operation of the next game is delayed, and is controlled to the freeze state. Sent to.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main), 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). Is done.

  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.

  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.

"And" Watermelon b "are arranged within 5 frames in each. For this reason, when the special replay 3 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, in principle, it can be said that it is a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When it is RT3, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, normal + fall replay 1, normal + fall replay 2, normal + fall replay 3, Normal + special replay 7 and normal + tempe replay are the subject of internal lottery.

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

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

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

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

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

  The middle cherry is a single winner of cherry 1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Normal + special replay 1 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1, normal + special replay 2 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1, and normal + special replay 3 Normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promoted replay + special replay 1, normal + special replay 4 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3, and normal + special replay 5 is Normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 3, normal + special replay 6 is normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 3, special replay 7 is normal replay 1 + special replay 1 Normal + Temper Replay is a normal lip Lee 1+ usually replay 3+ is usually Replay 4.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  If normal + special replay 7 (normal replay 1 + special replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right / left middle or right / middle / left, that is, if the right reel is set to the first stop, the selected replay Control is performed to stop the combination of special replay 1 in the winning line in the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle right, left and right middle, middle left and right or middle right left, that is, the left reel or middle reel is the first In the case of stopping, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays 1 is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When normal + temper replay (normal replay 1 + normal replay 3 + normal replay 4) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, normal replay 3 (7a before the second stop) / B / c is stopped on the winning line LN (tempered), and the control of stopping the winning line LN at a combination of the symbols other than 7a / b / c at the third stopping is stopped on the winning line LN is performed. If the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the normal replay 4 (7a / b / c will stop on the winning line LN by the second stop) Control is performed to stop the winning line LN from a combination of a stop mode in which symbols other than 7a / b / c are stopped on the winning line LN at the time of 3 stops.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replay 1, normal replays 1, 3, and 4 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. Depending on the order of the stop operation, the reel control is performed so that the special replay 1 or the normal replays 1 to 4 always win regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Thus, in the normal + special replay 7, the operation mode for winning the special replay 1 (combination of 7a / b / c-7a / b / c-7a / b / c) is uniformly the first reel. The operation mode that is set to the stop mode and the normal replay 1 (replay a / b-replay a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b combination) wins the game is uniformly left reel or middle reel Is set to the operation mode with the first stop. Therefore, in RT1 and RT3 in which normal + special replay 7 is an object of internal lottery, if normal + special replay 7 is won, special replay 1 ( 7a / b / c-7a / b / c-7a / b / c) is won and the left reel or right reel is set to the first stop, the normal replay 1 (replay a / b-replay) a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b combination) wins.

  In the normal + tempered replay, the normal replay 3 (7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN before the second stop (tempered), and the symbols other than 7a / b / c at the third stopping are the winning line LN. The operation mode for winning the stop mode) is set to the operation mode in which the right and left middle stop order is uniformly set, and the normal replay 4 (7a / b / c by the second stop is placed on the pay line LN) The operation mode for making a stop (tempered) and winning a symbol other than 7a / b / c at the third stop in the winning line LN is an operation mode in which the order of stoppage is uniformly right, middle and left. It is set and the operation mode for winning a normal replay 1 (replay a / b-replay a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b combination) is uniformly left reel or middle reel as the first stop. Operation mode It has been set. For this reason, in RT1 and RT3 where the normal + tempire replay is the target of the internal lottery, if the normal + tempire replay is won, the normal replay 3 (second stop) is always used when the stop order is in the middle left and right. 7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN (tempered) and symbols other than 7a / b / c stop on the winning line LN at the third stop) wins, and stops right, middle and left In case of order, it is always normal replay 4 (7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN by the second stop (tempered), and symbols other than 7a / b / c at the third stop enter the winning line LN. When the stop mode is stopped and the left reel or right reel is set to the first stop, the normal replay 1 (replay a / b-replay a / b-replay a / b / watermelon a / b combination) is always used. Won a prize It becomes a.

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

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

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

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

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT1 is about 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, as the replaying player, normal replay, fall + promotion replay 1 to 5, normal + special replay 7, normal + temple replay are targeted for internal lottery, normal replay, promotion replay, fall replay, Special replays can win.

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

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

  RT3 is when a special replay is won at RT1 (normal + special replay 7 is won and a stop operation is performed with the right reel as the first stop), or when a special replay is won at RT2 (normal + special) When the replays 1 to 6 are elected and the stop operation is performed in the order in which the special replay wins, the process proceeds to the above. And RT3 is complete | finished when a fall replay wins or a transfer turn stops and it transfers to RT1.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT3 is about 1 / 1.27, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, as a replaying player, normal replay, normal + falling replays 1 to 3, normal + special replay 7, normal + tempered replay are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replay, falling replay, and special replay are included. You can win a prize.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 does not win any combination except for a certain case, or if a small combination wins, immediately after the game ends, by inserting a medal or operating the MAXBET switch 6 If the operation for setting the number of bets is valid, but the freeze condition is satisfied, if no combination is won in the game, or if a small combination is won, the game ends. After that, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the bet number setting operation for a predetermined time, and the bet number setting operation is invalidated for a period until the freeze state ends. Even if a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated, the medal is returned, and the betting number setting operation by the MAXBET switch 6 is not accepted effectively. Nor the number is set.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 automatically sets the same number of bets as that of the previous game immediately after the game ends when the re-game player wins except in a certain case, and starts the next game. In contrast, if the freeze condition is satisfied, if the re-gamer wins in the game, the same number of bets as the previous game will be automatically set immediately after winning. Although it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation for a predetermined time, the start operation is invalidated during the period until the freeze state ends. Even if the game is performed, the start operation is not accepted effectively, and the game does not start.

  Specifically, the main control unit 41 determines the stop order type when the internal lottery result is a loss (when no combination is won), when normal replay 1 is won, or when normal + special replay 7 is won. As a stop order type selection lottery that randomly selects one of 0 or 1 and sets the selected stop order type in the RAM 41c, and sends a stop order type command that can specify the selected stop order type to the sub-control unit 91. Send to.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, when the normal + special replay 7a is won in RT1, the main control unit 41 sets the actual stop order to the right reel if the stop order type selected in the game is 0. It is determined whether or not the stop order for the first stop, that is, the stop order for winning the special replay is right middle left, and if the actual stop order is right middle left, the start operation is validated in the next game. Is controlled to freeze state.

  Also, when the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1, if the stop order type selected in the game is 1, the actual stop order is the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, that is, the special replay is won. It is determined whether or not the stop order is right / left. If the actual stop order is right / left, control is performed to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation in the next game.

  As described above, when the normal + special replay 7 is won, if the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop, the special replay wins, so the normal + special replay wins at RT1 and freezes In the case of being controlled, special replay will be won before the start of the freeze state.

  On the other hand, when the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1, if the stop order type selected in the game is 0 and the actual stop order is a stop order other than the right middle left, the stop order selected in the game When the type is 1 and the actual stop order is a stop order other than the middle left and right, the freeze state is not controlled in the next game.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, the main control unit 41 wins the normal + special replay 7 in RT1, and after the start of the game, the operation of stopping any reel is performed in that period. Freeze reservation that indicates that when a predetermined operation not related to the progress (operation of the MAXBET switch 6 is performed ten times or more), a stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in the subsequent determination game to control the freeze state. A flag is set in the RAM 41c. Further, the main control unit 41 performs a predetermined operation not related to the progress of the game during the period until the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1 and the operation of stopping one of the reels is performed after the game is started. In order to perform the determination game lottery to determine the number of determination game target roles (in this case, the loss) until the determination game from a plurality of times, and to count the number of determination game target roles until the determination game in the RAM 41c. The determined number of games is set in the assigned determination game number counter.

  In the determination game lottery, as shown in FIG. 20, any number of times from 1 to 5 is randomly determined. For this reason, when the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1 and a predetermined operation is performed, the number of determination game target roles until the determination game that may be controlled to the freeze state is changed randomly. The number of games up to the judgment game changes randomly.

  Further, when the freeze reservation flag is set in RT1, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the internal lottery result is a loss, and subtracts the value of the determination game number counter by 1 each time a loss occurs. It is determined whether or not the result of subtraction is 0, that is, whether or not the game is a determination game.

  In the case of a determination game, if the stop order type selected in the determination game is 0, whether or not the actual stop order is right middle left in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. If it is determined and the actual stop order is right middle left, control is performed to a freeze state that delays the activation of the betting number setting operation in the next game.

  Further, in the case of a determination game, if the stop order type selected in the game is 1, it is determined whether or not the actual stop order is right / left in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop, If the actual stop order is in the middle of the right and left, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the betting number setting operation in the next game.

  On the other hand, even if it is a determination game, if the stop order type selected in the game is 0 and the actual stop order is a stop order other than the right middle left, the stop order type selected in the game is 1, If the stop order is a stop order other than right / left middle, the frozen state is not controlled in the next game.

  In addition, even if the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1, if a predetermined operation is not performed during the period from the start of the game until any reel is stopped, that is, the MAXBET switch 6 is not operated. If the MAXBET switch 6 is operated but the number of times does not reach 10, the freeze reservation flag is not set. In this case, whether or not it is a judgment game in the subsequent game No determination is made and the control is not controlled to the frozen state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT3 and whether or not the special replay is won in the game, and when the special replay wins, In the subsequent determination game, a freeze reservation flag is set in the RAM 41c to indicate that the freeze operation is performed when a stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode. Furthermore, when the special replay is won at RT3, the main control unit 41 performs a determination game lottery in which the number of determination game target roles (in this case, normal replay) up to the determination game is determined from a plurality of times. The determined number of games is set in the game number counter.

  In the determination game lottery, any number of times from 1 to 5 is randomly determined as described above. For this reason, when the special replay is won at RT3, the number of determination game target roles until the determination game that may be controlled in the freezing state changes randomly, so that the number of games until the determination game is random. To change.

  Further, when the freeze reservation flag is set in RT3, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the internal lottery result is normal replay, and each time the normal replay is won, the value of the determination game number counter is incremented by one. Subtraction is performed, and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is 0, that is, whether or not the game is a determination game.

  In the case of a determination game, if the stop order type selected in the determination game is 0, whether or not the actual stop order is right middle left in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. If it is determined and the actual stop order is right middle left, control is made to a freeze state that delays activation of the start operation in the next game.

  Further, in the case of a determination game, if the stop order type selected in the game is 1, it is determined whether or not the actual stop order is right / left in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop, If the actual stop order is in the middle of the right and left, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation in the next game.

  On the other hand, even if it is a determination game, if the stop order type selected in the game is 0 and the actual stop order is a stop order other than the right middle left, the stop order type selected in the game is 1, If the stop order is a stop order other than right / left middle, the frozen state is not controlled in the next game.

  In addition, even if normal + special replay 7 is won in RT3, if the special replay is not won in the game, that is, if the stop operation is not performed in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop, the freeze is performed. The reservation flag is not set, and in this case, it is not determined whether the game is a determination game in the subsequent game, and the freeze state is not controlled.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is the right to control to ART when winning the middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal + special replay 7 Navistock lottery to decide whether or not to give. In the Navi Stock lottery at the time of winning the middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 piece, strong 1 piece, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal + special replay 7, by determining the number of navigation stock including 0, Whether or not to grant the number of stocks and, if so, the number is determined.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In RT2, the normal + special replays 1 to 6 will be subject to navigation effects, and in the navigation effect, the normal + special replays 1 to 6 will be notified of the stop order for winning the special replays. It is possible to shift from RT2 to RT3 by performing a stop operation according to the stop order.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by the AT or ART when not controlled by the AT or ART, and can execute the navigation effect even when a combination other than the target combination corresponding to the gaming state is won. Thus, by executing these navigation effects, it is possible to cause the main control unit 41 to control the freeze state, or to control the control of the freeze state.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a control flow when the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect in association with the freeze state in a state where the AT is not controlled by RT1.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether normal + special replay 7 or normal + template replay is won in the state where RT1 is not controlled by the AT (RT1 / non-AT).

  If the normal + special replay 7 is won, the navigation stock lottery is performed in the game. If the navigation stock is not won in the navigation stock lottery, the navigation effect is not executed, and the normal + special again. Waiting for Replay 7 or Normal + Temper Replay.

  In addition, when the normal + special replay 7 is won and one or more navigation stocks are won in the navigation stock lottery, a confirmation notification lottery for determining whether or not to notify that the ART is confirmed in the game is further performed. Do.

  Then, when winning the confirmed notification lottery, that is, when notifying that the ART has been confirmed in the game, it is further determined whether or not the stop order type at the time of normal + special replay 7 winning is 0, and the stop order type is When the stop order type is 0, the navigation effect for informing the stop order of the middle right and left, which is the condition for controlling the freeze state in the stop order type 0, is executed. On the other hand, when the stop order type is not 0, that is, the stop order type is 1. In this case, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in the middle left and right, which is a condition for controlling the freeze state in the stop order type 1, is executed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a stop operation has been performed in the order of stop according to the navigation effect. If the stop operation has been performed in accordance with the stop order according to the navigation effect, an ART confirmation notification is executed, and notification that the ART has been confirmed is notified. Then, the ART control is started. At this time, on the main control unit 41 side, the special replay is won by performing the stop operation as in the navigation effect, and further, the freeze control state in which the activation of the start operation is delayed for a predetermined time is controlled. . Further, the time to be controlled in the freeze state is designed in accordance with the execution time of the ART confirmation notification, and the activation of the start operation is delayed over the period in which the ART confirmation notification is executed. Note that if the stop operation is not performed in the order of stop according to the navigation effect, the ART confirmation notification is not executed and the control of the ART is started immediately without being controlled to the frozen state.

  In addition, if the determination notification lottery is not won, that is, if it is not notified that the ART has been determined in the game, a predetermined operation is performed during a period from the start of the game until the operation of stopping one of the reels. In other words, if a predetermined operation request effect that urges the MAXBET switch 6 to be operated ten times or more is executed, and a predetermined operation is performed before any reel is stopped, in the game up to the subsequent determination game When the internal lottery result is a loss, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order of the right reel as the first stop is executed.

  As described above, the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1 and the freeze operation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side by performing a predetermined operation. However, except for the determination game, the right middle left or right left middle stop Even if the stop operation is performed in order, the freeze state is not controlled. Therefore, even if the stop operation is performed in accordance with the navigation effect, the freeze state is not controlled.

  If the internal lottery result is lost and the game is a determination game, it is determined whether or not the stop order type of the game is 0. If the stop order type is 0, the stop order type 0 is frozen. On the other hand, when the stop order type is not 0, that is, when the stop order type is 1, the navigation order is set to the freeze state in the stop order type 1. A navigation effect for informing the stop order in the middle left and right, which is a controlled condition, is executed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a stop operation has been performed in the order of stop according to the navigation effect. If the stop operation has been performed in accordance with the stop order according to the navigation effect, an ART confirmation notification is executed, and notification that the ART has been confirmed is notified. Then, the AT control is started, and the ART control is started when the special replay wins. At this time, on the main control unit 41 side, the stop operation is executed according to the navigation effect, so that no winning combination is won, and the activation of the setting operation for the betting number of the next game is delayed for a predetermined time. It will be controlled to the frozen state. In addition, the time to be controlled in the freeze state is designed according to the execution time of the ART confirmation notification, and the activation of the betting number setting operation is delayed over the period during which the ART confirmation notification is executed. . In addition, if the stop operation is not performed in the order of stop according to the navigation effect, the ART confirmation notification is not executed, the AT is immediately controlled without being controlled to the freeze state, and then the special replay is won. The ART control is started.

  In addition, when the normal + tempire play is won, a false notification lottery for determining whether false notification 1, false notification 2 or no false notification is performed in the game, and false notification 1 is also false in the false notification lottery. If the notification 2 is not won, the navigation effect is not executed and the normal + special replay 7 or normal + tempire replay is again awaited.

  In addition, when the normal + tempire play is won and the false notification 1 is won in the false notification lottery, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first is executed. At this time, if the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, the normal replay 3 or the normal replay 4 wins. That is, 7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN by the second stop (tempe), and symbols other than 7a / b / c stop on the winning line LN at the third stop.

  Further, on the main control unit 41 side, since the condition of the freeze state is not established, the freeze state is not controlled even if the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect.

  When false notification 2 is won in the false notification lottery, a predetermined operation, that is, ten or more operations of the MAXBET switch 6 is urged during a period from the start of the game to any stop operation. When a predetermined operation is performed and a predetermined operation is performed before any of the reels is stopped, the number of times that the navigation effect is performed in the subsequent game of lost is The notification number lottery for determining the number of times is performed, and the notification number won in the notification number lottery is set in the RAM 91c.

  Thereafter, every time the internal lottery result is lost, the number of notifications is decremented by 1, and a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel is first stopped is executed until the number of notifications becomes 0.

  Even if a predetermined operation is performed at the time of winning the normal + temperee play, the main control unit 41 does not set the freeze reservation flag. Therefore, even if the stop operation is performed in the order of right middle left or right left middle in the subsequent game of losing, it is frozen. The state is not controlled, and even if the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, it is not controlled to the frozen state.

  Further, in the state where the RT is not controlled by the AT, even in the case where the navigation effect is not executed, in the game where the normal + special replay 7 is won, the stop operation is performed in the stop order of right middle left or right right middle depending on the stop order type. Is controlled in the freeze state, and when a predetermined operation is performed in the game in which the normal + special replay 7 is won, the right middle left or right left middle in the determination game in the subsequent judgment game When the stop operation is performed in the stop order, the freeze state is controlled. However, in the state where the control is not controlled by the AT in the RT1, as described above, the reels other than the left reel are played in the game where the navigation effect is not executed. If the stop operation is performed in the order of the stop as the first stop, it will be controlled during the penalty period and will cause a disadvantage to the player. The stop operation in the stop order other than the stop order that can be controlled to the state is prompted, and this restricts the control to the freeze state when the execution of the ART confirmation notification is not permitted. It has become so. Furthermore, in the game where the normal + special replay 7 is won, if the execution of the ART confirmation notification is not permitted, the predetermined operation request effect requesting the predetermined operation not related to the progress of the game is not executed, so that the freeze state is also performed. To be controlled is controlled.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the state where RT1 is not controlled by the AT, the normal + special replay 7 is won, the navigation stock is won in the navigation stock lottery, and further, the final notification lottery is won. As shown in FIG. 23 (a), the stop order corresponding to the stop order type that is the condition for controlling to the freeze state among the stop orders in which the right reel is first stopped, that is, the stop order in which the special replay wins is notified. A navigation effect is performed, and a special replay is won by performing a stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified by the player, and the main control unit 41 activates the start operation in the next game. While controlled to the freeze state to be delayed, on the side of the sub-control unit 91, the ART confirmation notification is executed in the period controlled to the freeze state. .

  On the other hand, if the normal + special replay 7 is won and the navigation stock lottery is not won, or if the navigation stock lottery is won but the final notification lottery is not won, the navigation effect is executed. By not doing so, it is regulated to be controlled to the freeze state by prompting a stop operation in the stop order in which the left reel that is not controlled during the penalty period is stopped first.

  In addition, when the normal + temper replay is won and the false notification 1 is won in the false notification lottery, as shown in FIG. 23B, if the normal + special replay 7 is won, the special replay wins. In addition, a navigation effect for informing the stop order in which the right reel that may be controlled to be frozen is first stopped is executed, and the player performs a stop operation in accordance with the stop order informed Thus, the combination of 7a / b / c stops on the winning line LN by the second stop (tempered) and the symbols other than 7a / b / c stop on the winning line LN at the third stop) In this case, it will not be controlled in the frozen state, but because Navistock wins, it will be similar to the case of winning the final notification lottery, so that Navistock was won It is possible to expect the player.

  Also, in the state where RT1 is not controlled by AT and normal + special replay 7 is won, Navistock is won in the Navistock lottery, and if the final notification lottery is not won, FIG. In the period from the start of the game to the stop operation of any of the reels, an image prompting the liquid crystal display 51 to operate the MAXBET switch 6 a plurality of times and “continuous hit!” Are displayed. The predetermined operation request effect is displayed and a predetermined operation, that is, a plurality of operations of the MAXBET switch 6 is requested. Along with this, the MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more to display “Chance!” On the liquid crystal display 51, suggesting that the navigation stock may have been won, and at the main control unit 41 side. The freeze reservation flag is set, and the number of lost times until the determination game is determined.

  Then, in the game of losing up to the determination game (losing / non-determination game), the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first, that is, the stop order that may be controlled in the frozen state if the determination game is given. A navigation effect is executed. At this time, since it is not a determination game, even if the player performs a stop operation according to the notified stop order, the player is not controlled to be in a frozen state.

  Further, in the determination game (losing / determination game), a navigation effect is provided in which the stop order corresponding to the stop order in which the right reel is first stopped, that is, the stop order type that is a condition for controlling the freeze state is executed. By performing the stop operation according to the stop order notified by the player, the main control unit 41 is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the betting number setting operation in the next game, On the sub-control unit 91 side, the ART confirmation notification is executed during the period controlled to the freeze state.

  On the other hand, if the normal + special replay 7 is won and the navigation stock is not won in the navigation stock lottery, the stop order in which the left reel that is not controlled during the penalty period is stopped first by not executing the navigation effect. Control of the freeze state is restricted not only by prompting a stop operation at, but also by not executing a predetermined operation request effect.

  Also, in the state where RT1 is not controlled by the AT, when the normal + tempire play is won and the false notification 2 is won in the false notification lottery, the game starts as shown in FIG. In the period from the start to any stop operation, the liquid crystal display 51 is subjected to a plurality of operations of the MAXBET switch 6 in the same manner as in the case of winning the navigation stock lottery and not winning the final notification lottery. A prompting image and “continuous hit!” Are displayed, and a predetermined operation request effect for requesting a predetermined operation, that is, a plurality of operations of the MAXBET switch 6, is executed. Along with this, the MAXBET switch 6 is operated 10 times or more to display “Chance!” On the liquid crystal display 51, which suggests that the navigation stock may have been won. The freeze reservation flag is never set.

  Then, in the game of losing until the number of notifications reaches zero, the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first, that is, the stop order that may be controlled in the freeze state if it is a determination game A navigation effect for informing the user is executed. At this time, since it is not a determination game, even if the player performs a stop operation according to the notified stop order, the player is not controlled to be in a frozen state. Even in this case, it is not controlled in the frozen state, but it is similar to the case where Navistock wins and does not win the final announcement lottery. It can be expected.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating a control flow when the sub control unit 91 executes a navigation effect in association with the freeze state in a state where the RT 3 is controlled by the ART.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the normal + special replay 7 has been won in the state controlled by RT3 and ART (RT3 / ART).

  If the normal + special replay 7 is won, the navigation stock lottery is performed in the game. If the navigation stock lottery is not won in the navigation stock lottery, the stop order in which the normal replay 1 wins, that is, the right A navigation effect for informing the stop order of the reels other than the reels as the first stop is executed, and the normal + special replay 7 is again selected. At this time, the navigation effect to be executed is the same navigation effect as the normal + fall replays 1 and 2 winning.

  In addition, when normal + special replay 7 is won and one or more navigation stocks are won in the navigation stock lottery, the stop order in which the special replay wins, that is, the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop is notified. Perform navigation effects.

  Then, it is determined whether or not a special replay has been won with the execution of the navigation effect, and if the special replay has been won with the execution of the navigation effect, the winning notification of the navigation stock is executed, and the remaining number of games of the ART is further determined. An addition state lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control the addition state in which the addition can be expected.

  In addition, the extra state lottery is performed when the special replay is not won because the stop operation is performed in the stop order not following the navigation effect even though the navigation effect is executed by winning the navigation stock lottery. It will not be performed, and it will wait for the normal + special replay 7 again.

  In addition, even if the special replay wins during the ART, the extra lottery can be performed by the navigation stock lottery when the stop operation is performed in the stop order not following the navigation effect, that is, when the normal + special replay 7 is won. Even if a special replay is won despite the fact that the stock is not won and the navigation rendition that informs the stop order in which the normal replay 1 wins is executed, it will not be performed. In this case, the normal + special replay 7 again Waiting for winning.

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

  When winning in the added state lottery, the added state winning flag is set in the RAM 91c, and when the normal replay is won in the game up to the subsequent determination game, the navigation for informing the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first. Perform the production.

  As described above, the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT3, and the special replay wins to set the freeze reservation flag on the main control unit 41 side. However, except for the judgment game, right middle left or right left middle stop Even if the stop operation is performed in order, the freeze state is not controlled. Therefore, even if the stop operation is performed in accordance with the navigation effect, the freeze state is not controlled.

  When the normal replay is won and the game is a determination game, it is determined whether or not the stop order type of the game is 0. If the stop order type is 0, the stop order type 0 is set to the freeze state. While the navigation effect that informs the stop order of the middle right and left that is the controlled condition is executed, when the stop order type is not 0, that is, when the stop order type is 1, the stop order type 1 is controlled to be frozen. The navigation effect that informs the stop order of the middle left and right that is the condition to be executed is executed.

  After that, it is determined whether or not a stop operation has been performed in the order of stop according to the navigation effect, and if the stop operation has been performed in accordance with the stop order according to the navigation effect, the added state winning notification is executed and controlled to the added state. Is then notified, and thereafter, an additional state is controlled in which an additional number of ART games can be expected. At this time, the main control unit 41 is controlled to a freeze state in which the normal replay 1 is won by executing the stop operation in accordance with the navigation effect and the activation of the start operation of the next game is delayed for a predetermined time. The Rukoto. The time controlled to the freeze state is designed in accordance with the execution time of the added state winning notification, and the activation of the start operation is delayed over the period during which the added state winning notification is executed. If the stop operation is not performed in the order of stop according to the navigation effect, the added state winning notification is not executed, and the freeze state is not controlled, and the added state is not controlled.

  If the added state lottery is not won, the added state winning flag is not set in the RAM 91c. However, when the normal replay is won in the game up to the subsequent determination game, the right reel is set in the same manner as when the added state is won. The navigation effect which notifies the stop order which is made into the 1st stop is performed.

  As described above, the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT3, and the special replay wins to set the freeze reservation flag on the main control unit 41 side. However, except for the judgment game, right middle left or right left middle stop Even if the stop operation is performed in order, the freeze state is not controlled. Therefore, even if the stop operation is performed in accordance with the navigation effect, the freeze state is not controlled.

  In addition, when the normal replay is won and the game is a judgment game, the stop order in which the reels other than the right reel are stopped first, that is, the stop order in the right middle left or right right middle which is a condition controlled to the freeze state. A navigation effect for informing the stop order other than is executed. At this time, the navigation effect to be executed is the same navigation effect as the normal + fall replays 1 and 2 winning. As described above, even if the freeze reservation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side, if the stop operation is not performed in the stop order that is the condition for controlling the freeze state in the determination game, the freeze state may be controlled. In addition, since the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation effect, the freeze state is not controlled.

  Also, in the state where the RT is controlled by the RT3, even when the navigation effect is not executed, when the normal + special replay 7 is won and the special replay wins, the right in accordance with the stop order type in the subsequent determination game Even if the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right / left middle stop order, it will be controlled to the freeze state, but as mentioned above, RT3 shifts to RT1 which is disadvantageous than RT3 due to the fall replay winning In addition, the navigation effect that is executed when the normal + special replay 7 that is a condition for controlling the freeze state in a state where it is not scheduled to execute the added state winning notification, and the added state winning notification is performed. A navigation effect that is executed when a normal replay is won, which is a condition for controlling to a freeze state in a determination game when execution is not permitted In the stop order that does not follow the navigation effect, the normal effect that the fall replay may win + the navigation effect that is executed when the fall replays 1 and 2 are won is won. If the stop operation is performed, there is a possibility of shifting to RT1, and there is a disadvantage for the player. Therefore, the stop operation in the stop order other than the stop order that can be controlled to the freeze state is prompted. Therefore, when execution of the added state winning notification is not permitted, control to the freeze state is restricted.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the state controlled by RT3 and ART, when normal + special replay 7 is won, Navistock is won in the Navistock lottery, and when the additional state lottery is won, As shown in FIG. 25 (a), a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first, that is, the stop order in which the special replay that is a condition for controlling the freeze state wins, is executed. When the player performs a stop operation according to the notified stop order, a special replay is won, a freeze reservation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side, and the number of wins for the normal replay until the determination game is determined. It is like that. At this time, “navistock GET !!” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the winning of navistock is notified.

  And, when the extra state lottery performed at the time of winning the special replay is won, in the game in which the normal replay up to the determination game is won (normal replay / non-determination game), the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first, that is, If it is a determination game, the navigation effect which notifies the stop order which may be controlled to a freeze state is performed. At this time, since it is not a determination game, even if the player performs a stop operation according to the notified stop order, the player is not controlled to be in a frozen state.

  Further, in the determination game (normal replay / determination game), a navigation effect is provided to notify the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first, that is, the stop order corresponding to the stop order type as a condition for controlling the freeze state. By performing the stop operation according to the stop order notified by the player, the main control unit 41 is controlled to a freeze state that delays the activation of the start operation in the next game, while sub-control On the part 91 side, the added state winning notification is executed during the period controlled to the freeze state.

  On the other hand, when the normal + special replay 7 is won and the navigation stock lottery is not won in the navigation stock lottery, the reels other than the right reel are controlled in the stop order in which they are stopped first, that is, in the freeze state. It is a navigation effect that informs the stop order other than the stop order, and the navigation effect in the same manner as the navigation effect that informs the stop order that avoids the transition to RT1 is executed, and in the stop order that is notified by the navigation effect. Control of the freeze state is restricted by prompting the stop operation.

  In addition, in the state where RT3 and ART are controlled, when normal + special replay 7 is won and Navistock is won in the navigation stock lottery, but the additional state lottery is not won, FIG. ), A navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel is in the first stop, that is, the stop order in which the special replay that is the condition for controlling the freeze state wins, is executed. When the stop operation is performed in accordance with the stop order informed, the special replay is won, the freeze reservation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side, and the number of wins of the normal replay until the determination game is determined. Yes. At this time, “navistock GET !!” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the winning of navistock is notified.

  And if the extra state lottery performed at the time of winning the special replay is not won, the game in which the normal replay up to the judgment game is won (normal replay / non-determination game) is the same as the case of winning the extra state lottery In addition, a navigation effect for informing the stop order in which the right reel is stopped for the first time, that is, the stop order that may be controlled to be frozen in the determination game is executed. At this time, since it is not a determination game, even if the player performs a stop operation according to the notified stop order, the player is not controlled to be in a frozen state.

  On the other hand, in the determination game (normal replay / determination game), the navigation effect is to notify the stop order in which the reels other than the right reel are stopped first, that is, the stop order other than the stop order that is a condition for controlling the freeze state. In addition, the navigation effect in the same manner as the navigation effect informing the stop order for avoiding the transition to RT1 is executed, and the stop operation in the stop order notified by the navigation effect is urged to be controlled to the freeze state. Is being regulated.

  In this case, although it is not controlled to a freeze state, since it becomes a mode similar to the case of winning the added state lottery, the player can be expected to win the added state.

  In addition, when the normal + special replay 7 is won during the ART and the navigation stock is not won in the navigation stock lottery, a navigation effect that informs the stop order in which the normal replay 1 wins is executed. However, if the player performs a stop operation without following the notified stop order, a special replay may be won as shown in FIG. 26. In this case, the liquid crystal display 51 has “ Warning Please press according to the navigation! "Is displayed, and a warning screen prompting the stop operation according to the navigation effect is displayed. Even in such a case, when the special replay is won, the freeze reservation flag is set on the main control unit 41 side. In such a case, a reel other than the right reel is set in the determination game. Navigation in the same manner as the navigation effect for notifying the stop order in which the stop order is set to be stopped, that is, the stop order other than the stop order that is the condition for controlling the freeze state, and the stop order for avoiding the transition to RT1 Control of the freeze state is restricted by executing the effect and encouraging the stop operation in the stop order notified by the navigation effect.

  In this embodiment, when the normal + special replay 7 is won or the special replay is won, the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game. In the configuration that controls to the freeze state in the subsequent game with the opportunity to do so, if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the freeze is always controlled in the subsequent game, Even in a situation where it is not desired to control the state, it is controlled to the frozen state.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is operated in the stop order in which the right reel that the special replay will win is the first stop when the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1. On the other hand, in the next game, it is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game. It is not controlled by the state.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 is in a state where RT1 is not controlled by the AT, and the normal + special replay 7 is won, the navigation stock is won in the navigation stock lottery, and further the final notification lottery is won, that is, In a situation where it is permitted to execute the ART confirmation notification, a navigation effect for notifying the stop order in which the right reel, which is a condition for controlling the freeze state in the game, is set as the first stop is executed, and the player is notified. By urging the stop operation in the stop order, the stop operation can be controlled in the stop order according to the navigation production, while it can be controlled to the frozen state. If the winning lottery has not been won, that is, in a situation where ART finalizing notification is not permitted, Is controlled to be in a freeze state by restricting the execution of the navigation effect that informs the stop order of the first stop and preventing the right reel from being stopped in the stop order of the first stop. It is like that.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 wins the normal + special replay 7 at RT1, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop in the subsequent determination game. In the next game, the game is controlled to be in a freeze state that delays the progress of the game. On the other hand, when the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop in the subsequent determination game. Otherwise, it will not be controlled to the frozen state.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 wins the normal + special replay 7 in a state where RT1 is not controlled by the AT, the Navistock wins in the Navistock lottery, and does not win the final notification lottery. In the situation where the execution of the ART confirmation notification is permitted in the determination game, the navigation effect is performed to notify the stop order in which the right reel that is the condition for controlling the freeze state in the game is the first stop, and the game By prompting the user to perform a stop operation in the stop order, the stop operation can be controlled in the stop order in accordance with the navigation effect, so that the frozen state can be controlled. That is, in a situation where it is not permitted to execute the ART confirmation notification, execution of the navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first. Regulations, and is adapted to be is restricted to control the frozen state by so as not to stop operation at the stop order of the first stop right reel.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the main control unit 41 wins a special replay at RT3, the next game is performed on the condition that the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop in the subsequent determination game. If the special replay is won at RT3, the game is put into the freeze state if the stop operation is not performed in the order of stop with the right reel as the first stop. It is not controlled.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 wins a special replay in a state controlled by RT3 and ART, wins Navistock in the Navistock lottery, wins the additional state lottery, and adds it in the subsequent determination game. In a situation where execution of the state winning notification is permitted, a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel that is the condition for controlling to the freeze state in the determination game is stopped first is executed, By prompting the stop operation in the stop order, it is possible to control the freeze state by performing the stop operation in the stop order according to the navigation effect, but when the added state is not won, In a situation where it is not permitted to execute the added state winning notification, the execution of the navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop is performed. I won, so that it is restricted to control the frozen state by so as not to stop operation at the stop order of the first stop right reel.

  That is, in this embodiment, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the freeze state is controlled on the condition that the stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event. On the other hand, even when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the freeze state is not controlled unless a stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event.

  On the other hand, if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, a navigation effect that notifies a specific operation mode if the effect corresponding to the freeze state is permitted in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event The game can be controlled to the freeze state by prompting a stop operation in a specific operation mode, and even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the specific game set by the occurrence of the event If the operation corresponding to the freeze state is not permitted, the execution of the navigation effect that notifies the specific operation mode is restricted and the stop operation is not performed in the specific operation mode in the specific game. Control to the state can be restricted.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the state where RT1 is not controlled by AT, the condition for controlling to the freeze state is obtained when the navigation effect for notifying the stop order in which the right reel is first stopped is not executed. By performing the stop operation in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, the penalty period is controlled, and a disadvantage is generated for the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, the fall replay wins at RT3 to shift to RT1, which is more disadvantageous than RT3, and the navigation for informing the stop order in which the reels other than the right reel are first stopped during ART. If the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop even though the performance is being executed, the fall replay wins and the player moves to RT1 to cause a disadvantage to the player. there is a possibility.

  That is, in this embodiment, when the navigation effect that notifies the stop operation in the specific operation mode that is the condition for controlling the freeze state is not executed, the stop operation is performed in the specific operation mode that is the condition for controlling the freeze state. Since there is a possibility that the player may be disadvantaged by performing the event, an event that triggers the freeze state occurs in a state where the production corresponding to the freeze state is not permitted, and is set by the occurrence of the event Since it is possible to effectively prevent a stop operation from being performed in a specific operation mode that is a condition for controlling the freeze state in a specific game, the effect corresponding to the freeze state is not executed, but the controlled state is set to the freeze state. Can be more effectively prevented.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1, the main control unit 41 randomly selects the stop order type, and the stop order selected from the stop orders in which the right reel is the first stop. While the stop operation is performed in the stop order that matches the stop order corresponding to the type, the freeze state is controlled. On the other hand, even if the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, it corresponds to the stop order type. The stop operation is performed in the stop order that does not coincide with the stop order, so that the freeze state is not controlled.

  Further, in this embodiment, even when the result of the internal lottery is lost in RT1, the main control unit 41 randomly selects the stop order type and in the determination game after the freeze reservation flag is set in RT1. In the stop order in which the right reel is in the first stop, the stop operation is performed in the stop order corresponding to the stop order corresponding to the selected stop order type, so that the free reel is controlled in the frozen state, while the right reel is stopped in the first stop. Even if a stop operation is performed in the stop order, the stop operation is performed in a stop order that does not match the stop order corresponding to the stop order type, so that the freeze state is not controlled.

  Further, in this embodiment, even when the normal replay is won at RT3, the main control unit 41 randomly selects the stop order type, and in the determination game after the freeze reservation flag is set at RT3, the right reel The stop operation is controlled in the freeze state by performing a stop operation in the stop order corresponding to the stop order corresponding to the selected stop order type in the stop order in which the stop is the first stop, while the right reel is the first stop. Even if the stop operation is performed in order, the freeze operation is not controlled by performing the stop operation in the stop order that does not match the stop order corresponding to the stop order type.

  In other words, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the specific operation mode that is a condition for controlling the freeze state in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event is randomly changed to control the freeze state. It is difficult to specify the operation mode to be performed, and it is difficult to control to the freeze state in a state where the navigation effect is not executed, so that the freeze corresponding to the freeze state is not executed. It is possible to effectively prevent the state from being controlled.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the game in which the normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1, a predetermined operation not related to the progress of the game is performed in the period from the start of the game until any reel is stopped. Thus, the freeze reservation flag is set, and in the subsequent determination game, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, so that the freeze control is performed. , When the normal + special replay 7 is won in a state that is not controlled by the RT1 and the AT, and the navigation stock is not won, that is, in a situation where it is not permitted to execute the ART confirmation notification, the game starts. The execution of a predetermined operation request effect that prompts a predetermined operation during a period until a subsequent stop operation of any reel is also restricted. The

  In other words, even when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, a specific operation that is a condition for controlling the freeze state if the production corresponding to the freeze state is not permitted at a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of the event In addition to restricting the execution of the navigation effect that prompts the stop operation in the aspect, by restricting the execution of the predetermined operation request effect that prompts the predetermined operation as a condition for controlling the freeze state, an event that triggers the freeze state One condition is that, when it occurs, a stop operation in a specific operation mode is performed in a specific game set by the occurrence of the event, and a predetermined operation is performed at a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of the event Even if is established, it is possible not to control the freeze state, and the production corresponding to the freeze state Despite not line, can be effectively prevented from being controlled in the frozen state.

  At this time, since the predetermined operation is an operation not related to the progress of the game, it is effective that the specific operation is performed at a predetermined timing by controlling execution of the predetermined operation request effect, that is, controlled to the freeze state. Can be regulated.

  In addition, since a plurality of operations of the operation means not related to the progress of the game are applied as the predetermined operation not related to the progress of the game, the execution of the predetermined operation request effect is restricted, but the freeze state It is possible to prevent the freeze state from being controlled by erroneously performing a predetermined operation at a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of a triggering event.

  In this embodiment, the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1, a predetermined operation is performed in the game, and the freeze is performed by performing a stop operation in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop in the subsequent determination game. A configuration controlled by a state, that is, an event that triggers a freeze state occurs, a predetermined operation is performed at a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of the event, and further specified by a specific game set by the occurrence of the event The operation is controlled to the freeze state when the stop operation is performed in this operation mode, but an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, and the operation is stopped in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event A configuration may be adopted in which after the operation is performed, the freeze operation is performed by performing a predetermined operation at a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of the event. An event that triggers the freeze state occurs, a predetermined operation is performed at a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of the event, and a stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in a specific game set by the occurrence of the event It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which one condition is established and then the frozen condition is controlled when the other condition is established.

  Further, in this embodiment, the predetermined timing at which the condition for controlling to the freeze state is satisfied when the predetermined operation is performed is any stop operation after the start of the game in which the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1. This is the period until the game is started, that is, the timing in the game in which the event that triggers the freeze state has occurred, but it may be the timing in the game after the game in which the event that triggers the freeze state has occurred.

  In addition, a configuration in which a period from the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state to a predetermined timing changes randomly, for example, the first stop operation is performed after the start of the game in which the event that triggers the freeze state has occurred. The timing determined at random among the timing until the second stop operation after the first stop operation and the timing until the third stop operation after the second stop operation is set as the predetermined timing. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the number of games up to a game at a predetermined timing changes randomly after an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, and this configuration triggers the freeze state. Since the period until the predetermined timing that will be controlled to the frozen state by the predetermined operation after the occurrence of the event changes randomly It is difficult to identify a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of a trigger for freeze state event, it is possible to prevent the slot machine side from being controlled to freeze state unintentionally.

  Further, in this embodiment, a plurality of operations of the operation means not related to the progress of the game are applied as the predetermined operation not related to the progress of the game, but the predetermined operation not related to the progress of the game is related to the progress of the game. One operation of the operation means that does not may be applied.

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

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

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

  Further, in this embodiment, when the normal + special replay 7 is won and the right reel is stopped for the first stop, the special replay 7 wins and the reels other than the right reel are stopped for the first time. The normal replay 1 wins when the stop operation is performed. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation stock lottery when the normal + special replay 7 is won during ART, and executes a navigation effect informing the stop order in which the special replay wins when the navistock is won, When Navistock is not elected, a navigation effect that informs the stop order in which the normal replay wins is executed, and a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the special replay wins is executed and the special replay wins. In contrast to executing the navigation effect that permits the stop corresponding to the first stop of the right reel, which is the condition for permitting the effect corresponding to the freeze state and controlling the freeze state in the subsequent determination game, When a special replay wins in spite of the fact that the navigation effect that informs the stop order in which the normal replay 1 wins is executed without winning, It does not permit the production corresponding to the Leeds state, so as to regulate the execution of the navigation performance for notifying a stop order to be the first stop on the right reel in a subsequent decision game.

  That is, when the special replay that is an event that triggers the freeze state is allowed, only when the operation mode for winning the special replay is notified, the special replay wins the effect corresponding to the freeze state, When a special replay wins in spite of the fact that the navigation mode for notifying the specific operation mode in the specific game thereafter is executed, but the operation mode for winning the special replay is not notified, The control is not allowed to be performed, and the execution of the navigation effect for notifying the specific operation mode in the specific game thereafter is restricted.

  Whether or not to intentionally win a special replay on the slot machine side depending on whether or not to notify the operation mode of the special replay winning when the special replay that is an event that triggers the freeze state is allowed It is possible to control the game by allowing the effect corresponding to the freeze state only when the slot machine side intentionally wins the special replay, and then performing the navigation effect that notifies the specific operation mode in the specific game thereafter. If the special replay wins in spite of the fact that the operation mode of the special replay winning is not notified, that is, the special replay wins unintentionally by the slot machine, Navi that does not allow the production corresponding to the state, and informs the specific operation mode in the specific game after winning the special replay By the execution of the output is restricted, even if the special replay was won unintentionally in the slot machine side, it can be restricted to be controlled to freeze state.

  In this embodiment, when the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT3 and the special replay is won by the stop operation in a special operation mode, the game is stopped in a specific operation mode in the subsequent determination game. A configuration that is controlled to the freeze state by an operation, that is, an event that occurs on the condition that a stop operation is performed in a special operation mode is an event that triggers the freeze state, and a specific operation in a specific game after that It is a configuration that is controlled to the freeze state by performing a stop operation in a mode, but an event that occurs on condition that a stop operation is performed in a special operation mode is applied as an event that triggers the freeze state, and then A configuration may be adopted in which the above-described predetermined operation is performed at a predetermined timing and a freeze operation is performed by a stop operation in a specific operation mode in a specific game. Yes.

  Further, in this embodiment, when normal + special replay 7 is won in RT1 and a predetermined operation is performed during the period until the stop operation becomes valid, the stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode thereafter. The period until the determination game in which the condition for controlling the freeze state is satisfied changes depending on the result of the internal lottery, and the number of lost times until the determination game is determined at random.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a special replay is won at RT3, the period until the determination game in which the condition for controlling to the frozen state is established by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode is determined as an internal lottery. The number of times of normal replay winning until the determination game is determined at random.

  That is, in this embodiment, after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, the period until the specific game that is controlled to the freeze state by the stop operation in a specific operation mode changes randomly, It is difficult to specify a specific game set by the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, and the slot machine side can be prevented from being unintentionally controlled to the freeze state.

  In this embodiment, after the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state, the period until the specific game is randomly changed according to the number of times that the result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result. Even when it is configured to randomly change the period up to the specific game by randomly determining the number of games up to the specific game set by the occurrence of the event, it is set by the occurrence of the event that triggers the freeze state It is difficult to specify the specific game that has been played, and the slot machine can be prevented from being unintentionally controlled to the frozen state.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the state where RT1 is not controlled by AT, it is controlled to be in a freeze state when executing ART confirmation notification for notifying that it is determined that it is controlled to ART advantageous to the player. During ART, when the added state winning notification for notifying that the added state where the advantage of ART is further increased is won is controlled to the freeze state. That is, a situation advantageous to the player is suggested by being controlled in the freeze state.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first when the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1, the navigation stock is won, and the final notification lottery is won. As a result, the main control unit 41 is controlled to be in a freeze state. However, when the normal + template play is won in RT1, the right reel is set to the first stop as described above. A navigation effect that informs the stop order can be executed.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 performs a predetermined operation when the normal + replay 7 is won at RT1 and the Navistock is won but the final notification lottery is not won. By executing the navigation effect that informs the stop order with the first stop, the main control unit 41 is controlled to be in a freeze state. Similarly, it is possible to execute a navigation effect that informs the stop order with the right reel as the first stop, and even when the normal + tempire play is won and the false notification 2 is won, the game of losing is repeated multiple times. In the same manner as described above, it is possible to execute a navigation effect informing the stop order in which the right reel is first stopped.

  In addition, the sub control unit 91 freezes the main control unit 41 by executing a navigation effect in which a special replay is won at RT3 and a stop order in which the right reel is first stopped in the subsequent determination game is executed. Although the control of the state is performed, even in the game in which the normal replay up to the determination game is won, the navigation effect for notifying the stop order in which the right reel is stopped first can be executed as described above. .

  That is, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the stop operation in the same specific operation mode as the situation controlled to the freeze state, even if it is other than the specific game set by the occurrence of an event that triggers the freeze state. Even in a situation in which a navigation effect can be executed and an effect corresponding to the freeze state is not permitted, the navigation effect that notifies the stop operation in a specific operation mode is executed, so that the freeze state is achieved. It is possible to enhance the player's expectation that the situation is controlled, that is, the situation is advantageous to the player.

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

  Further, in this embodiment, the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1 and the freeze reservation flag is set, so that in the subsequent determination game, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. When the normal + special replay 7 is won at RT1, the sub-control unit 91 does not execute the navigation effect when the control game is controlled to the freeze state in the subsequent determination game. The normal replay 1 wins by prompting a stop order in which the reels are first stopped and performing a stop operation by the player in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop. On the other hand, when the normal + temper replay is won or when the normal replay is won, the normal replay 1 is won by performing the stop operation in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop. For this reason, there is a possibility that the normal replay 1 will win both the game in which the freeze reservation flag is set and the game in which the freeze reservation is not set.

  That is, as an event that triggers the freeze state, a condition that cannot be recognized from the stop mode is applied, so that the game is determined by executing a navigation effect that notifies a specific operation mode in the subsequent game. Even if it is not a game, even if the stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, even if it is not controlled to the freeze state, there is a sense of expectation that it is controlled to the freeze state, that is, a situation advantageous to the player. Can be increased.

  Also, in the configuration where the freeze state is controlled by performing a predetermined operation not related to the progress of the game at a predetermined timing set by the occurrence of the event after an event that triggers the freeze state occurs. As an event that triggers the above, by applying a condition that cannot be recognized from the reel stop mode, a predetermined operation request effect that requests a predetermined operation in a subsequent game is executed, so that the game is executed at a predetermined timing. Even if a predetermined operation is performed according to a predetermined operation request effect, even if it is a situation that is not controlled to the frozen state, there is a sense of expectation that it is controlled to the frozen state, that is, a situation that is advantageous for the player. Can be increased.

  In addition, even if the establishment of an event that triggers the freeze state can be recognized from the stop mode of the reel, the game progresses before the reels stop in the game in which the event that triggers the freeze state occurs. By performing a predetermined operation request effect that requests a predetermined operation, an event that triggers the freeze state has not occurred, by setting the control to the frozen state by performing a predetermined operation that is not related to Even if a predetermined operation is performed according to a predetermined operation request effect, even if it is not controlled to a frozen state, it is expected to be controlled in a frozen state, that is, a situation advantageous for a player Can do.

  In this embodiment, the normal + special replay 7 win at RT1 and the special replay win at RT3 are applied as events that trigger the freeze state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be that the specific combination wins in the internal lottery, the lottery for determining whether or not to control the freeze state, and that a plurality of conditions among them are satisfied.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period, a state in which the timing at which the betting number setting operation or the start operation is valid is delayed for a predetermined period is applied. You may apply a state that delays the timing at which the operations related to the progress of the game other than the start operation, such as the setting operation for the betting number, and the operation related to the progress of the game are valid. A state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period by invalidating the acceptance of the operation related to the progress of the game may be applied.

  Also, in this embodiment, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs and the stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event, In the next game, the configuration is controlled to the freeze state, but when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs and the stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event, When a game that has been operated to be stopped is controlled to be in a freeze state, or an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, and a stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in a specific game set by the occurrence of the event In addition, the game is configured to be controlled in a freeze state in a game after the game after the stop operation, or an event that triggers the freeze state occurs. When a stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event, a period until the freeze state is controlled after the game in which the stop operation is performed in the specific operation mode is random It is good also as a structure which changes to.

  In addition, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs and a stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode in the specific game set by the occurrence of the event, the game is controlled to be in the freeze state in the stop operation. In the configuration, the specific operation mode is an operation mode that is established before all the reels stop, such as an operation mode in which the first stop reel or the second stop reel is a specific reel. If so, a configuration may be adopted in which the reels are controlled to be frozen at a timing before all the reels stop.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is configured to be controlled in the freeze state in accordance with the ART confirmation notification or the added state winning notification, that is, the effect that is determined to be controlled in a gaming state advantageous to the player. It is possible that the game state of the player is a game state advantageous to the player (high probability state of the navigation stock lottery, etc.), a situation advantageous to the player (situation where the Navistock is elected, etc.) It is good also as a structure which controls to a freeze state according to effects, such as an effect which suggests a situation favorable for a player, and an effect with a low appearance frequency (so-called premier effect). It is good also as a structure controlled to a freeze state according to the production | presentation performed at the time of the start and completion | finish of a specific gaming state, such as an end production of.

  In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the LED, the output of sound effects, and the like are controlled to be frozen in accordance with the effect using the effect device controlled by the sub-control unit 91. Freezing with reel effect that changes 2L, 2C, 2R variation mode is executed, and the reel stop operation in the progress of the game by the operation of stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is invalid according to the reel effect It is good also as a structure controlled to a state.

  Also, in this embodiment, when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the navigation stock or the added state is won, and the execution of the effect corresponding to the freeze state is permitted, so that it is specified in the specific game thereafter The navigation effect that informs the user of the operation mode is executed and controlled to the freeze state. On the other hand, even if an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, the navigation stock or the added state is not won, and the effect corresponding to the freeze state is executed. Is not permitted, the execution of the navigation effect for notifying the specific operation mode in the specific game thereafter is restricted, and the control of the freeze state is restricted, but as described above, the current gaming state is If the game state is advantageous for the player (such as a high probability state of Navistock lottery), it will be free if it is controlled to the freeze state in accordance with the production suggesting that it is a game state. When an event that triggers a state occurs, a navigation effect that notifies a specific operation mode in a specific game after that is controlled by controlling the game state to be advantageous to the player, thereby controlling the game to a freeze state. On the other hand, even when an event that triggers the freeze state occurs, if the game state is not controlled to be advantageous to the player, the execution of the navigation effect for notifying the specific operation mode in the specific game thereafter is restricted. The configuration may be such that the control in the freeze state is restricted.

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