In the following description, a prize form (combination of symbols) that forms a winning line by [Bell Bell Bell] is referred to as a “bell stop eye”. This bell stop eye can be won (can be stopped and displayed) by determining “Bell role” as a winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, these “cherry role”, “watermelon role”, and “bell role” are the winning roles (payout roles) that determine the payout of award medals based on winning. In addition to these “cherry role”, “watermelon role”, and “bell role”, other roles are defined as winning roles.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the winning combination is determined as the bell, even if the winning line is not formed by the bell stop eye, it is assumed that a combination of predetermined symbols is stopped and displayed on the winning line. It is stipulated that one award medal is paid out and two award medals are paid out in the BN game.

  In addition, when [Replay / Replay / Replay] is stopped and displayed on the winning line, it is determined that the above-mentioned replay is given. Hereinafter, an award mode (combination of symbols) that forms a winning line by [Replay / Replay / Replay] is referred to as “normal stop eye”. The normal stop eye can be awarded (can be stopped) by determining a normal replay role (ordinary winning combination) as a winning combination.

  Further, when [Replay / Replay / Bell] is stopped and displayed on the winning line, it is defined that the above-mentioned replay is given. Hereinafter, an award mode (combination of symbols) that forms a winning line by [Replay / Replay Bell] is referred to as “special stop eye”. This special stop eye can be awarded (can be stopped and displayed) by determining the special replay role as the winning role.

  Note that in the present embodiment, these various replay combinations are replay combinations that are determined to be replayed based on winning. Further, in the above-mentioned re-game, the player can play a variable game without betting the number of bets, and no prize medal is given to the player (one or more prize medals are given). do not do). For this reason, the player does not obtain award medal based on the winning of the replay role.

  Further, in this embodiment, other than “BN role” that allows the generation of a winning as an opportunity to activate (start) the BN game, the winning of each award such as payout of award medals or re-game by winning of each award mode. Winning roles such as “cherry role”, “watermelon role”, “bell role”, and “replay role” that allow the occurrence of the occurrence of the event are small roles.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, although it is not a prize mode, [Red 7, Red 7, Red 7], [White 7, White 7, White 7], [Black 7, Black 7 / Black 7] may be displayed on the winning line, and it is notified that the game is advantageous to the player. In the following explanation, the combination of symbols displayed on the winning line [Red 7, Red 7, Red 7] is “Red 7 assorted”, and [White 7, White 7, White 7] is displayed on the winning line. The combination of symbols that are displayed on the winning line is “black 7 aligned”, and the combination of symbols displayed on the winning line is “black 7 aligned”. Further, when “seven as many” is simply used, it means “seven as red”, “seven as white”, and “seven as black” together.

  In addition, the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment is equipped with an RT function (re-game role probability change function) that controls the general game by changing the winning probability of the replay role. The general game in this embodiment is controlled to a state according to the operation mode of the RT function, and is controlled to a state according to the type during the operation of the RT function.

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

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachislot machine 10 shown in FIG. 3 will be described.
A main control board 40 that controls the entire gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the pachislot machine 10. The main control board 40 executes various processes for controlling the entire gaming machine, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. In addition, a sub-control board 41 is mounted on the rear side of the machine to execute effect control according to the gaming state. The sub-control board 41 receives various control signals output from the main control board 40 and executes predetermined control based on the control signals.

Hereinafter, the main control board 40 will be described.
The main control board 40 includes a main control CPU 40a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 40b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 40a, and a main control RAM 40c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. Further, each reel (left reel 13L, middle reel 13C and right reel 13R) constituting the drum unit 13, reel sensors SE1 to SE3, and medal sensor SE4 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Various information display units 17 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Further, the BET button 19, the MAXBET button 20, the settlement switch 21, the start lever 22, the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, and the hopper 26 are connected to the main control CPU 40a.

  The main control CPU 40a receives first to third position signals from the connected reel sensors SE1 to SE3 in accordance with the symbols (rotational position of each rotating reel) displayed on the see-through window 16. . The left reel 13L corresponds to the first position signal, the middle reel 13C corresponds to the second position signal, and the right reel 13R corresponds to the third position signal. The main control CPU 40a grasps the rotation position and stop position of each reel based on the first to third position signals, and controls the rotation and stop of each reel based on the first to third position signals. .

  The medal detection signal indicating that a medal has been detected is input to the main control CPU 40a every time the medal sensor SE4 detects a medal from the connected medal sensor SE4. Further, when the connected BET button 19, MAXBET button 20, checkout switch 21, start lever 22, and stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are operated, the main control CPU 40a indicates that each button has been operated. Various operation signals are input.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating values of various random numbers such as winning combination determination random numbers used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The winning combination determination random number is a random number used when the main control CPU 40a determines a combination (winning combination based on the winning information group) according to the winning combination determination table. The winning information group determined by the main control CPU 40a is associated with one or more winning combinations that can be won in the variable game. In the winning information group, when a single winning combination is associated, it means a single winning of the winning combination, and when a plurality of winning combinations are associated, it means overlapping winning of these winning combinations. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a determines a winning combination for winning by determining a winning information group.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program. In addition, the main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of winning combination determination tables in which internal winning probabilities for each gaming state and for each winning information group are defined as ranges for assigning winning combination determining random numbers.

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

Next, the sub control board 41 will be described.
The sub-control board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a sub-control ROM 41b that stores a control program for the sub-control CPU 41a, and a sub-control RAM 41c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. An effect display device 14 as a notification means (effect means), a speaker Sp, a decoration lamp La, and a movable body K are connected to the sub-control CPU 41a as the notification control means.

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub control ROM 41b displays a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker Sp, and a light emission effect indicating the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La. A movable body effect pattern indicating the pattern and the movable mode of the movable body K is stored. The sub-control RAM 41c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub-status information (such as a flag) related to the gaming status in the sub-control RAM 41c.

Here, the winning combination determining tables T1 to T3 stored in the main control ROM 40b shown in FIG. 4 will be described.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of the winning information group to be the lottery object and the winning probability of each winning information group to be the lottery object (random values distributed to each winning information group to be the lottery object (in the range of random values) A table in which the number based on the game state is tabulated is stored. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the gaming state. In the general game, the winning combination determination table T1 is associated with the low probability RT game, the winning combination determination table T2 is associated with the high probability RT game, and the winning combination determination table T3 is associated with the BN game.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, the BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, and other roles based on the winning information group are not won. Each winning probability of a role is specified. In the general game, the winning combination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the replay role is higher in the high probability RT game (1 / 1.9) than in the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). On the other hand, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the respective small combinations other than the replay combination have the same probability.

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

  In the general game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the small combinations other than the BN combination, the replay combination, and other combinations have the same probability. In addition, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the off-role combination is the same probability with a very low probability (1/65536).

  In the general game, the winning probability of the small combination is set to a predetermined probability in the winning combination determination table in the bonus standby state where the right to shift to the BN game is generated. When the BN combination is won in such a bonus standby state, the winning combination is replaced (rewritten) with another winning combination (small combination).

  In the winning combination determination table T3, the winning probabilities of the cherry role, the watermelon role, the bell role, other roles, and the net off role are defined. In the winning combination determination table T3, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the BN combination and the replay combination are not targeted for the lottery. In the winning combination determination table T3, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning combination probability of the bell combination is significantly higher than that of the general game.

  In this embodiment, in the BN game in which the winning probability of the bell role is greatly increased as compared with the general game, it becomes easy to win the bell role, but 2 bets as the number of bets allowed for the variable game are won for each role. It is determined that two award medals will be paid out respectively. For this reason, the BN game is a bonus game in which the medals owned by the player cannot be increased.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the winning probability of the replay role in the general game is the winning probability of each of the winning information groups associated with the normal replay role in the low probability RT game (winning role determination table T1). Is stipulated. On the other hand, the winning probability of the replay role in the general game is determined in each of the winning information group in which the normal replay role is associated with the winning information group in which the special replay role is associated in the high probability RT game (winning role determination table T2). Defines the probability of winning. Further, the normal replay group 1 to the normal replay group 6 are set in the winning information group associated with the normal replay combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a pressing order that is a specific stop operation is determined for each normal replay combination, and the corresponding pressing order is a specific stop operation based on the winning of any normal replay combination. It will be selected as the push order.

  In the present embodiment, when the normal replay combination is won, the pressing order to be a specific stop operation is determined so as to correspond to the selected normal replay combination, but it is normal regardless of the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons. The stop eye is stopped and displayed.

  Although not shown, the winning probability of the bell role defines the sum of the winning probabilities of the winning information groups associated with the bell role. The bell group 1 to the bell group 4 are set in the winning information group for the bell role.

  In the following description, the phrase “winning the normal replay role” means winning of the normal replay group 1 to the normal replay group 6. The term “special replay winning” means winning of the winning information group associated with the special replay winning. In addition, in the case of “winning of the bell role”, it means winning of the bell group 1 to the bell group 4. The term “cherry winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with a single winning cherry. The term “watermelon winning” means winning of a winning information group associated with a single watermelon winning.

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

  The main control CPU 40a sets the number of bets when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or when an operation signal of each of the BET buttons 19 and 20 is input. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits every time the BET buttons 19 and 20 are operated. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when the number of credits is increased by inserting medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a causes a game startable state in which a variable game can be started when setting the number of bets according to the game state (2 bets in the BN game, 3 bets in the general game).

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

  When determining the winning information group, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of winning combination associated with the determined winning information group. That is, when the main control CPU 40a determines that a small role is won, the main control RAM 40c becomes small by the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not the small role is won. Erase (clear) the role information of the role. For this reason, the small combination becomes a winning combination that cannot be carried over the next and subsequent variable games regardless of whether or not a winning decision is made.

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

  Subsequently, when the CPU 40a for main control inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R based on the player's operation, it performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on fluctuation or stop of each reel based on position signals from the reel sensors SE1 to SE3 corresponding to each reel. That is, the position signals from the reel sensors SE1 to SE3 cause the main control CPU 40a to grasp the change status of each reel during the change of each reel, while the stop status of each reel is used for the main control during the stop of each reel. The CPU 40a is made to grasp. The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control on the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  When the main control CPU 40a inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, the main control CPU 40a outputs the various operation signals to the sub control CPU 41a. The various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are used for sub-control based on the operation status by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, that is, which stop button is operated, and the pressing order in which the stop button is operated. The CPU 41a is made to grasp. In addition to the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, the main control CPU 40a outputs various operation signals to the sub control CPU 41a when various operation signals for the BET buttons 19 and 20 and the start lever 22 are input.

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

  For this reason, if each reel does not have five or more parts of the other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols that you want to stop, it will stop on any winning line as a result of slip control. The desired type of symbol can be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in each reel, when other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped have five or more portions, it is desired to stop at any winning line even with slip control. There are cases where it is not possible to stop the display of types of symbols. Thus, stop control of each reel is performed based on the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BN stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when winning the BN role (carrying over the winning combination). On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the BN role (carrying over the winning), when the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing, and when not winning the small role together, Stop BN spills indicating the possibility of winning a role. In this case, the BN combination is missed.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a, when winning a BN role (carrying over the winning combination), if a net off-come role that is not won as a small role is also won, as described above, Stop. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a preferentially displays the stop eye (combination of symbols) corresponding to the small role when the small role is won at the time of winning the BN role (carrying over the winning combination). Do not display stop eyes or BN spilled eyes.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops the bell stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player when the stop order by the player is the stop order to stop the bell stop eye when the player plays the bell role. Display. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the bell role, if the stop order of the stop operation by the player is not the stop order for stopping the bell stop eye, the main stop CPU 40a Stop display. In this case, a missed bell role is generated.

Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player when the cherry role is won.
Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the watermelon stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player when the watermelon role is won.

  Further, if neither winning combination of the small role is determined, that is, when the winning combination is not the net winning combination or when the winning combination of BN (carrying over the winning combination) is not performed, the main control CPU 40a relates to the timing of the stop operation by the player. Make sure that the stop eye is stopped.

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

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

  Specifically, when determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out one award medal when it is a general game and two award medals when it is a BN game.

  When determining the winning of the watermelon role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out one award medal when it is a general game and two award medals when it is a BN game.

  Further, when determining the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out 9 award medals for a general game and 2 award medals for a BN game. The main control CPU 40a, when judging the winning of the bell role, when determining whether to miss the bell role, in order to compensate for the decrease in medals held by the player, in the case of a general game, When it is a BN game, control is performed so that two award medals are paid out. Further, when determining whether the bell combination is missed, control related to the transition of the production state described later is performed.

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

Here, stop control at the time of winning the bell role will be described.
In the present embodiment, the control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is different when the bell combination is won.

  In this embodiment, for each bell group, a bell winning push order for stopping and displaying the bell stop eye is defined. Also, in order to cope with this, the order of pushing the bell spilling to stop and display the bell spilling stop of the dedicated stop eye (for example, [Bell / Bell / Watermelon]) is determined for each bell group. ing.

  The main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye on the winning line by using the bell winning order based on the winning of the bell role. This bell stop eye can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell spilling stop eye on the winning line by the pushing order for bell spilling based on the winning of the bell role. This bell-spilling stop eye can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  The bell group 1 has a pressing order for bell winning of [middle left and right] and a pressing order for bell spilling other than [middle left and right]. In the bell group 2, a push order for bell winning of [middle right left] and a push order for bell spilling other than [middle right left] are set. The bell group 3 has a pressing order for bell winning of [Right / Left / Middle] and a pressing order for bell spilling other than [Right / Left / Middle]. In the bell group 4, a pressing order for bell winning of [right middle left] is determined, and a pressing order for bell spilling other than [right middle left] is determined. For this reason, the pushing order for the bell winning that [LEFT] is the first is not determined, and the bell group 1 to the bell group 4 are “4 selections without left” that do not exist for the bell winning that [LEFT] is the first. The pressing order of “is determined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the mode of transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the variable game according to the gaming state will be described.
When shifting the gaming state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a gaming state instruction command indicating the transitioned gaming state to the sub-control CPU 41a. This gaming state instruction command causes the sub-control CPU 41a to grasp the gaming state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 40a generates a right to shift to the BN game by winning the BN role during the control of the low probability RT game. In the present embodiment, in the low probability RT game, it is defined that the BN combination is won with a relatively high probability (about 1/3), and it is easy to generate the right to transition to the BN game.

  When generating the right to shift to the BN game, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the BN game to the BN flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 40c. The BN flag is set with a value indicating that the right to shift to BN gaming has not occurred when the right to shift to BN gaming has not occurred. Further, when a value indicating the occurrence of the right to shift to BN gaming is set in the BN flag, it is possible to shift to BN gaming, and when the BN gaming is subsequently terminated, the BN gaming is terminated, so that the BN flag is shifted to BN gaming. A value indicating that no transfer right has been set is set.

  In addition, when the right to shift to the BN game is generated during the control of the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a satisfies the transition condition to the high-probability RT game, and shifts from the next variable game to the high-probability RT game Rush). On the other hand, when the low control RT game is being controlled, the main control CPU 40a does not generate the right to shift to the BN game, and the BN flag is set with a value indicating that the right to shift to the BN game has not occurred. The transition to the high probability RT game and the BN game is not satisfied and the low probability RT game is continued. In the present embodiment, control is performed so that the low probability RT game is not shifted to the BN game.

  In addition, the condition for shifting to the high probability RT game is that a value indicating the occurrence of the right to shift to the BN game is set in the BN flag by winning the BN role. For this reason, in the high probability RT game, a value indicating the occurrence of the right to transfer to the BN game is always set in the BN flag.

  In addition, during the control of the high-definition RT game, the main control CPU 40a always sets a value indicating the occurrence of the right to shift to the BN game in the BN flag, and when the BN role is not won, The game transition condition is not satisfied, and the highly probable RT game is continued from the next variable game. On the other hand, during the control of the high-definition RT game, the main control CPU 40a is triggered by the winning of the BN role, and the transition condition to the BN game is satisfied, and the next control game shifts (rushes into) the BN game. . In the present embodiment, control is performed so as not to shift from a high-probability RT game to a low-probability RT game.

  Also, in high-definition RT games, if a value indicating the occurrence of the right to transition to BN games is set in the BN flag due to the winning of the BN role (the carry-over of the win), the small role will be won with a very high probability. It is prescribed. For this reason, even if a value indicating the occurrence of the right to transition to BN gaming is set in the BN flag, the small role is preferentially won with a very high probability, so the BN role is not won and the BN game is not won. Transition conditions are not met.

  Furthermore, in a high-definition RT game, a net off-combination wins with a very low probability, but even if a net off-combination wins, the player must stop the timing of the stop operation at a predetermined timing. If the winning combination is not won and the BN winning combination is not won, the conditions for shifting to the BN game are not satisfied.

  In other words, in a highly probable RT game, a value indicating the occurrence of the right to transition to the BN game is set in the BN flag due to the winning of the BN role (carrying over the winning), but the stay of the highly probable RT game is highly probable. Will continue.

  In addition, during the control of the BN game, the main control CPU 40a triggers the BN game end condition when the number of paid-out prize medals exceeds the predetermined maximum number of payouts (32 in this embodiment). It is satisfied, and the transition from the next floating game to the low probability RT game is made. On the other hand, during the control of the BN game, the main control CPU 40a does not satisfy the BN game end condition when the paid-out number of paid-out prize medals does not exceed the maximum payout number. Let the game continue. In the present embodiment, control is performed so as not to shift from the BN game to the high probability RT game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that 2 bets as the number of bets allowed for the variable game are paid out in accordance with each winning combination. For this reason, the number of medals held by the player cannot be increased, and two award medals are paid out in a predetermined number of times of the variable game. It will shift to a certain RT game.

  As described above, in this embodiment, low probability RT game, high probability RT game, and BN game are controlled in three kinds of game states. However, control in high probability RT game is mainly performed, and low probability RT game is performed. In some cases, control in BN games is rarely performed.

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40 a manages a part (outline) of the effect state of the effect display device 14. Further, when shifting the effect state, the main control CPU 40a outputs an effect state instruction command indicating the effect state of the transition destination to the sub control CPU 41a. This effect state instruction command causes the sub control CPU 41a to grasp the effect state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  On the other hand, the sub control CPU 41a also manages the effect state of the effect display device 14 according to the game state specified by the game state instruction command and the effect state specified by the effect state instruction command. The production states in this embodiment are classified into a plurality of types, the outline of the production state is managed by the main control CPU 40a, and the details of the production state are managed by the sub control CPU 41a.

  Specifically, in the effect state, there is a normal mode which is performed in a situation where the gaming state is a highly probable RT game and the right to shift to the ART specific mode described later has not occurred. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the normal mode. In this normal mode, the winning probability of the replay role is in a high-probability lottery state, and a rip navigator effect that notifies a specific stop operation corresponding to the selected normal replay role and a specific stop operation corresponding to the selected bell role. This is a state in which the bell navigation effect for assisting (assisting) the Bell winning by notifying is not performed.

  Further, the effect state includes a preparation mode that is performed in a situation where the gaming state is a highly probable RT game and a right to shift to the ART mode described later is generated. In the preparation mode, the effect display device 14 is configured to be roughly the same as the display image for the normal mode, and a character image such as “in preparation” is displayed on the display screen. This preparation mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state as in the normal mode, while the Lip Navi effect and the Bell navigation effect are performed.

  Further, the effect state includes an ART first specific mode which is performed when the game state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the ART first specific mode. This ART first specific mode is a state in which the winning probability of a replay role is a high-probability lottery state, a bell navigator effect is performed, and a rep navigator effect is not performed.

  Further, the effect state includes an ART second specific mode that is performed when the game state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the ART second specific mode. This ART second specific mode is a state in which a winning probability of a replay role is a high probability lottery state, a bell navigator effect is performed, and further a rep navigator effect is performed with a predetermined probability.

  Further, the effect state includes an ART special mode which is performed when the game state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the ART special mode. This ART special mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in the high probability lottery state, the bell navigation effect is performed, and the rep navigation effect is not performed.

  In the present embodiment, “ART specific mode” collectively means “ART first specific mode” and “ART second specific mode”, and “ART mode” simply refers to “ART mode”. "ART specific mode" and "ART special mode" collectively mean.

  Further, the effect state includes a high probability RT effect that is performed when the game state is a high probability RT game. In the case of the high-definition RT effect, the effect display device 14 is roughly configured in the same manner as the display image for the ART specific mode. This high-definition RT effect is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a high-probability lottery state, and no Lip Navi effect or Bell Navi effect is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a grasps (manages) part of the effect state during the high-definition RT game by setting a main effect flag indicating the type of effect state in the main control RAM 40c. . Specifically, the main control CPU 40a manages whether it is the normal mode or the preparation mode, the ART special mode, or the other mode (the ART specific mode or the high-accuracy RT effect). On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a does not grasp whether the mode is the normal mode or the preparation mode, and may be the ART first specific mode, the ART second specific mode, or the high-definition RT effect. I don't know. In the following description, as the production state managed by the main control CPU 40a, the “main normal mode” collectively including the normal mode and the preparation mode, and the “main specific mode” collectively including the ART specific mode and the high-accuracy RT production, The ART special mode is referred to as “main special mode”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a grasps (manages) all the controlled effect states by setting a sub effect flag indicating the type of effect state in the sub control RAM 41c.

Hereinafter, the control related to the rendering state in the high-accuracy RT game performed by the main control CPU 40a is described in detail.
First, control related to the main normal mode will be described.

The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the main normal mode (while setting the main effect flag indicating the main normal mode).
During the main normal mode, the main control CPU 40a has a third stop operation that is the last stop operation of the variable game on condition that the normal replay combination (except for the normal replay group 1) is selected among the small combinations. As a result, it is determined whether or not the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation corresponding to the selected normal replay combination.

  The main control CPU 40a increases the value of the replay counter assigned to the main control RAM 40c by “1” when it determines that the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation. Update. On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a determines that the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons does not match the pressing order of the specific stop operation, it sets the value of the replay counter to “0” and initializes the replay counter. I do.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), only when the normal replay group 2 to the normal replay group 6 in which the pressing order of the specific stop operation is other than [left middle right] is won. Such a determination is made. On the other hand, when the normal replay group 1 in which the pressing order of the specific stop operation is [left middle right] is won, such a determination is not performed, and the replay counter is not updated or initialized.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a sets a main effect flag indicating the main specific mode when the replay counter reaches a predetermined number of times (“3” in the present embodiment), and the next variable game To shift to the main specific mode.

Next, control related to the main specific mode will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the main specific mode (while setting the main effect flag indicating the main specific mode).

  The main control CPU 40a tentatively determines whether or not to shift to the main special mode when the normal replay combination (including the normal replay group 1) is elected among the small combinations in the main specific mode, and the determination result Is stored in the main control RAM 40c.

  In addition, the main control CPU 40a has a third stop operation which is the last stop operation of the variable game when the normal replay combination (including the normal replay group 1) is won among the small combinations in the main specific mode. As a result, it is determined whether or not the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation corresponding to the selected normal replay combination.

  The main control CPU 40a is tentatively determined to shift to the main special mode. When it is determined that the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation, the main control CPU 40a enters the main special mode. The transition condition is satisfied, a main effect flag indicating the main special mode is set, and the next special game is shifted to the main special mode. In addition, with the transition to the main special mode, “Red 7 assortment” is stopped for each reel as a stop mode in production.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a is provisionally determined to shift to the main special mode, but when it determines that the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons does not coincide with the pressing order of the specific stop operation, The transition condition to the special mode is not satisfied, and the stay in the main specific mode is continued.

  In the present embodiment, when the normal replay combination is won, if the transition to the main special mode is not tentatively determined, the main special mode is performed regardless of the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons. The transition condition to is not satisfied and the stay in the main specific mode is continued. Further, even when a player other than the normal replay combination wins, the main control CPU 40a does not satisfy the transition condition to the main special mode regardless of the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons, and continues the stay in the main specific mode.

  Further, when the main control CPU 40a misses the bell role during the main specific mode, the main control CPU 40a sets a main effect flag indicating the main normal mode, and shifts from the next variable game to the main normal mode.

Next, control related to the main special mode will be described.
The main control CPU 40a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the main special mode (while the main effect flag indicating the main special mode is being set).

  When starting the main special mode control, the main control CPU 40a refers to the game number lottery table shown in FIG. 6 and determines the number of variable games in which the main special mode stay can be continued. In the present embodiment, the main special mode has a predetermined number of variable games (34 times in the present embodiment) as one set, and a variable game (7 sets in the present embodiment) corresponding to a maximum number of times (in this embodiment). In this embodiment, it can be continued at 238 times).

  In addition, the main control CPU 40a stores information (special remaining G number) indicating the number of variable games in which the main special mode stay can be continued in a special remaining G number counter assigned to the main control RAM 40c. A special remaining G number instruction command indicating the special remaining G number is output to the sub-control CPU 41a. Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts “1” from the special remaining G number counter and executes a special remaining G number instruction command indicating the special remaining G number every time a variable game is performed in the main special mode. It outputs to CPU41a. Subsequently, when the special remaining G number becomes “0”, the main control CPU 40a satisfies the transition condition to the main specific mode, sets the main effect flag indicating the main specific mode, and starts the next variable game. Switch to main specific mode.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the number-of-games lottery table is a table for determining the number of variable games in which the stay in the main special mode (ART special mode) can be continued, and is stored in the main control ROM 40b. In the number-of-games lottery table, it is defined that the number of variable games in which the stay in the main special mode can be continued corresponds to the determination probability for determining the number of variable games. In the present embodiment, the number of the variable games in which the stay in the main special mode can be continued is “34”, “68”, “102”, “136”, “170”, “204”, and “238”. Is stipulated.

  As a specific example, the number of variable games in which the stay in the main special mode can be continued is “34” with a probability of 173/256, “68” with a probability of 59/256, and a probability of 13/256. Then, “102” is determined with a probability of 6/256, “136”, and “170” with a probability of 3/256. Further, “204” is determined with a probability of 1/256, and “238” is determined with a probability of 1/256. In this way, the determination is made with a higher probability when the number of variable games in which the stay in the main special mode can be continued is larger than when the number of variable games is large.

  Hereinafter, control related to the rendering state performed by the sub control CPU 41a based on various control signals from the main control CPU 40a will be described. The sub control CPU 41a selects the image display data for the background image corresponding to the effect state that can be specified from the sub effect flag, and displays the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. Controls the content (display image).

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the normal mode (while setting the sub effect flag indicating the normal mode).

  In the normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as not to execute the Lip Navi effect or the Bell Navi effect when the normal replay role or the bell role is instructed.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART entry lottery when the winning of the small role is instructed. This ART rush lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, the sum is 1/300) based on the winning combination. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the “winning” result in the ART entry lottery. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not generate the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving a “non-winning” result in the ART entry lottery.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of released games (so-called “ceiling game number”) when the ART specific mode and the high-definition RT effect are finished and the mode is shifted to the normal mode. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a generates a right to shift to the ART mode when the number of times the variable game is performed in the normal mode (hereinafter referred to as “the number of executions”) reaches the number of released games. Specifically, the sub control CPU 41a stores the determined release game number in the release game number counter assigned to the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a decrements the value of the release game number counter by “1” every time the start of the variable game is instructed in the normal mode, and the value of the release game number counter becomes “0”. It is determined that the number of released games has been reached.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode to the ART flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. . The ART flag is set with a value indicating that the right to enter the ART mode has not been generated when the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred. Further, when a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode is set in the ART flag, it is possible to shift to the ART mode, and when the ART mode is subsequently shifted to the ART mode, the ART flag ends and the ART flag is shifted to the ART mode. A value indicating that no transfer right has been set is set.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a establishes a transition condition (preparation transition condition) that reaches the number of winning games or the number of released games in the ART entry lottery, and sets a value indicating the occurrence of the right to transition to the ART mode in the ART flag. From the changing game or the changing game after a predetermined number of times, the mode is shifted to the preparation mode for notifying the occurrence of the right to shift to the ART mode. At this time, the sub control CPU 41a sets a sub effect flag indicating the preparation mode.

Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the normal mode to the preparation mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 to shift from the normal mode to the preparation mode.
In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a satisfies the specific operation condition when the stop button is not operated in the order of pressing [left middle right] in each variable game in the normal mode. If not, a penalty will be given that will be disadvantageous to the player. For example, the penalty corresponds to not performing the ART entry lottery, or performing the ART entry lottery but always deriving the result of “non-winning”.

  In the present embodiment, the [left middle right] push order is set as the push order of the specific stop operation corresponding to the normal replay combination (normal replay group 1), but the replay counter is not incremented, and the ART The condition for entering the mode is not satisfied. In addition, in the normal mode, the rip navigator effect is not executed. Therefore, when the normal replay role (except for the normal replay group 1) is won, even if the three stop buttons are operated in the pressing order other than [left middle right] It is not easy to set the value of the replay counter to the specified number of times by matching the pressing order of a specific stop operation continuously for the specified number of times. As a result, during the normal mode, when the ART flag is set to a value indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not been generated, the shift to the ART mode is not assumed.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the preparation mode (during setting of the sub effect flag indicating the preparation mode).

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the bell navigation effect is performed when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the preparation mode. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the bell navigation effect is performed so as to assist the bell winning by matching the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons with the pressing order of the specific stop operation, and the player follows the bell navigation effect. Bell prize is generated by playing games.

  In the effect display device 14, three images simulating stop buttons are displayed side by side, and a bell navigation effect is performed in such a manner that numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are attached to the images. For example, in the case of the bell group 1, among the three images, “1” is attached to the middle image, “2” is attached to the left image, and “3” is attached to the right image. Causes the player to know that the stop operation should be performed in the pressing order of “middle left and right”.

  In addition, when the win for the normal replay role (except for the normal replay group 1) is instructed during the preparation mode, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the effect display device 14 to perform the Lip Navi effect with the start of the variable game. Controls the display content of. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the Lip Navi effect is performed so as to assist in matching the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons with the pressing order of the specific stop operation.

  The effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side and performs a Lip Navi effect in a manner in which numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are attached to the images. For example, in the case of the normal replay group 3, among the three images, “1” is attached to the middle image, “2” is attached to the left image, and “3” is attached to the right image. In this case, the player is made aware that the stop operation should be performed in the pressing order of “middle left and right”.

  Further, during the preparation mode, when a normal replay role (except for the normal replay group 1) is won by the main control CPU 40a, the pressing order for operating the three stop buttons is a predetermined stop operation in a specified number of times. If it is determined that it matches the pressing order, the value of the replay counter becomes the specified number. Then, an effect state instruction command for designating the transition from the main control CPU 40a to the main specific mode is input to the sub control CPU 41a.

  When such an effect state instruction command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a can stay in the ART specific mode when shifting from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode with reference to the initial number determination table shown in FIG. Determine the minimum number of initial games (initial number). Then, the sub control CPU 41a adds a value indicating the initial number of variable games that can stay in the ART specific mode to the specific remaining G number counter assigned to the sub control RAM 41c. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the initial number of variable games that can stay in the variable game in the ART first specific mode to the first specific remaining G number counter assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the sub control CPU 41a adds the initial number of the variable games that can stay in the variable game in the ART second specific mode to the second specific remaining G number counter assigned to the sub control RAM 41c.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a indicates the ART specific mode (the ART first specific mode or the ART second specific mode) in the sub effect flag based on each specific remaining G number stored in each specific remaining G number counter. The sub effect flag is set, and the next specific game is shifted to the ART specific mode.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a shifts to the ART second specific mode when the second specific remaining G number stored in the second specific remaining G number counter is “1” or more. On the other hand, the sub control CPU 41a has the second specific remaining G number stored in the second specific remaining G number counter “0”, but the first specific remaining G number counter stored in the first specific remaining G number counter. When the number of G is “1” or more, the state is shifted to the ART first specific mode.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode.

  As described above, during the preparation mode, the replay counter value assigned to the main control RAM 40c reaches the specified number of times, and the transition condition (first state) for designating the transition to the main specific mode is input. When the (transition condition) is satisfied, the sub control CPU 41a shifts from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode.

  In other words, when the normal replay role (except for the normal replay group 1) is won during the preparation mode, the specified number of times that the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation according to the Lip Navi effect. If it is not determined continuously, the ART specific mode is not entered. In other words, when shifting from the normal mode to the ART specific mode via the preparation mode, the user stays in the preparation mode until at least the prescribed number of fluctuating games are executed. In particular, in the present embodiment, since “3” is defined as the prescribed number of times, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so that the stay in the preparation mode can be continued over a plurality of consecutive variable games.

Here, the initial number determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, the initial number determination table is an initial of the variable game that can stay in each ART specific mode (ART first specific mode, ART second specific mode) when shifting from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode. This is a table for determining the number of times, and is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the initial number determination table, the initial number of variable games that can be stayed, the production state for which the initial number is determined, and the determination probability for determining the production state and the initial number to be determined correspond to each other. It is stipulated in. In the present embodiment, the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode are defined as the production state to be determined.

  As a specific example, as the initial number of staying variable games, the first specific remaining G number counter is “20” with a probability of 39321/65535, and the first specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 19661/65535. “30” is added to the first specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 3079/65535.

  In this way, the initial number of times that the user can stay in the ART specific mode is determined by referring to the initial number determination table. In the present embodiment, the initial number is determined for one of the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode, and the initial number is not determined for the other (determined as “0”). In particular, it is specified that the ART first specific mode is shifted with a higher probability than the ART second specific mode, and based on the initial number determination table, the ART first first mode has a higher probability than the ART second specific mode. It will be shifted to a specific mode. In addition, the initial number of times is defined such that a smaller number of times is determined with a higher probability than a larger number of times.

Next, control related to the ART specific mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the ART specific mode (when the sub effect flag indicating the ART specific mode is being set).

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 to execute the bell navigation effect when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the ART specific mode. That is, during the ART specific mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. In the ART specific mode, a bell winning is generated when the player follows the bell navigation effect when winning the bell role.

  Further, when the bell combination is missed during the ART specific mode, a game state instruction command for instructing the main normal mode is input from the main control CPU 40a. In this case, the sub control CPU 41a sets a sub effect flag indicating the normal mode, and shifts from the next variable game to the normal mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the first specific remaining G number counter every time a variable game is performed during the ART first specific mode, and the number of variable games executed in the ART first specific mode ( 1st execution count). Then, when the first specific remaining G number is “0”, the sub control CPU 41a sets the upper limit number (first upper limit number) as the number of times that the variable game is executed in the ART first specific mode (first execution number). It is determined that it has reached. The sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as a first execution number counting means.

  The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the second specific remaining G counter every time a variable game is performed during the ART second specific mode, and the number of variable games executed in the ART second specific mode ( 2nd execution count). Then, when the second specific remaining G number is “0”, the sub control CPU 41a sets the upper limit number (second upper limit number) as the number of times that the variable game is executed in the ART second specific mode (second execution number). It is determined that it has reached. The sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as a second execution number counting means.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a is more active than the ART first specific mode when both the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number are “1” or more during the ART specific mode. The ART second specific mode is controlled by giving priority to the ART second specific mode. On the other hand, when the second specific remaining G number is “0” and the first specific remaining G number is “1” or more during the ART specific mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the ART first specific mode. .

  For this reason, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the ART first specific mode when the second specific remaining G number is “0” and the first specific remaining G number is “1” or more during the ART second specific mode. The sub effect flag shown is set, and the next change game is shifted from the ART second specific mode to the ART first specific mode.

  The sub-control CPU 41a sets a sub-effect flag indicating a high-precision RT effect when both the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number are “0” during the ART specific mode, Transition from the next variable game to a high-definition RT effect. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value indicating that the right to shift to the ART mode has not occurred in the ART flag in accordance with the shift from the ART specific mode to the high-accuracy RT effect.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14 to execute the Lip Navi effect with a predetermined probability when the normal replay winning combination is instructed during the ART second specific mode. In other words, during the ART second specific mode, an effect is performed so that assistance for matching the specific stop operation corresponding to the normal replay combination with the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is performed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, during the ART first specific mode, even if the normal replay winning combination is instructed, the Lip Navi effect is not executed.

  Further, during the ART specific mode, the main control CPU 40a wins the normal replay role, and the transition to the main special mode is tentatively determined, and the pressing order for operating the three stop buttons is the specific stop operation. On the condition that it is determined that it matches the pressing order, an effect state instruction command indicating a shift to the main special mode is input to the sub-control CPU 41a. The sub-control CPU 41a sets a sub-effect flag indicating the ART special mode when a transition condition (second transition condition) in which an effect state instruction command indicating the transition to the main special mode is input is satisfied. The transition game is shifted to the ART special mode.

  As described above, during the ART second specific mode, when the Lip navigator effect is executed, if the three stop buttons are operated according to the Lip navigator effect, it is surely matched with the pressing order of the specific stop operation. The determination is made by the CPU 40a.

  On the other hand, during the ART first specific mode, the Lip Navi effect is not executed, but if the three stop buttons are arbitrarily operated, the main control CPU 40a determines that the specific stop operation coincides with the pressing order although it is not certain. There is a possibility. The same applies when the Lip Navi effect is not executed during the ART second specific mode.

  Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 41a controls the Lip Navi effect, the push order of the specific stop operation is higher in the ART second specific mode than in the ART first specific mode. Is determined by the main control CPU 40a. In this embodiment, considering the winning probability of the normal replay role, the probability of tentatively determining the transition to the main special mode, the execution probability of the Lip Navi effect, etc., about 1/20 in the ART first specific mode It is stipulated that a transition to the ART special mode is made with a probability, and that the transition to the ART special mode is made with a probability of about 1/10 in the ART second specific mode. That is, it can be said that the ART second specific mode is a mode in which it is easier to shift to the ART special mode than the ART first specific mode.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to display each specific remaining G number during the ART specific mode. In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts the effect state between the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode, the display content of the effect display device 14 is changed so as to shift the effect state. Control. In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the ART specific mode to the high-accuracy RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the ART specific mode to the high-accuracy RT effect. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the ART specific mode to the normal mode when shifting from the ART specific mode to the normal mode.

Next, control related to the ART special mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning (missing) during the ART special mode (during setting of the sub effect flag indicating the ART special mode).

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 to execute the bell navigation effect when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the ART special mode. That is, during the ART special mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. Note that in the ART special mode, a bell winning is generated when the player follows the bell navigator effect when winning the bell role.

  Further, when starting the control of the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a is based on the special remaining G number instruction command from the main control CPU 40a, and indicates a special number indicating the number of variable games in which the stay in the ART special mode can be continued. The remaining G number is stored in a special remaining G number counter assigned to the sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a stores the special remaining G number in the special remaining G number counter based on the special remaining G number instruction command input from the main control CPU 40a every time the variable game is performed during the ART special mode. To do. Each time a variable game is performed, the special remaining G number is subtracted by “1” by the main control CPU 40a, so that the special remaining G number in the sub control RAM 41c is similarly subtracted by “1”.

  When the special remaining G number is “0”, a gaming state instruction command for instructing the main specific mode is input from the main control CPU 40a, and the sub control CPU 41a is a sub that indicates the ART specific mode or the high-accuracy RT effect. An effect flag is set, and the next variation game is shifted to the ART specific mode or the high-precision RT effect.

  As a specific example, the sub control CPU 41a shifts to the ART second specific mode when the special remaining G number is “0” and the second specific remaining G number is “1” or more. On the other hand, when the special remaining G number is “0”, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the second specific remaining G number is “0” and the first specific remaining G number is “1” or more. Transition to the first specific mode. As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the special remaining G number is “0” and at least one of the values of each specific remaining G number counter is “1” or more in the ART special mode (third condition). When the transition condition) is satisfied, the state is shifted to the ART specific mode. When the special remaining G number is “0” and the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number are both “0”, the sub-control CPU 41a achieves a highly accurate RT effect. Transition.

  In the present embodiment, a special remaining G number instruction command indicating a special remaining G number to be subtracted by “1” is input every time a variable game is performed in the ART special mode. The specific remaining G number stored in is not subtracted. For this reason, when staying in the ART special mode, it is more difficult to shift to the highly accurate RT effect that does not execute the bell navigation effect than when staying in the ART specific mode. That is, it can be said that the ART special mode is more advantageous than the ART specific mode for subtraction of each specific remaining G number counter.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to display the special remaining G number during the ART special mode. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the ART special mode to the ART specific mode when shifting from the ART special mode to the ART specific mode. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the ART special mode to the high-accuracy RT effect when shifting from the ART special mode to the high-accuracy RT effect.

Next, control related to the high-definition RT effect will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning of the winning combination and winning a prize during the high-definition RT effect (while the sub-effect flag indicating the high-definition RT effect is being set).

The sub-control CPU 41a does not execute the Lip Navi effect or the Bell Navigation effect even when the normal replay role or the winning of the Bell role is instructed during the high-definition RT effect.
In addition, when the bell combination is missed during the high-definition RT effect, a game state instruction command for instructing the main normal mode is input from the main control CPU 40a. In this case, the sub control CPU 41a sets a sub effect flag indicating the normal mode, and shifts from the next variable game to the normal mode.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the high-accuracy RT effect to the normal mode, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift from the high-accuracy RT effect to the normal mode.

  As described above, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the normal mode, the preparation mode, the ART mode, and the highly accurate RT effect. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs such control functions as a state control unit.

  Note that, in the present embodiment, there is a case where an addition to the ART specific mode in which the number of variable games that can be stayed in the ART specific mode is added is performed according to the controlled production state. In particular, the ART specific mode includes an ART first specific mode and an ART second specific mode, and at least one of them may be added. Here, a specific control regarding addition for each effect state controlled by the sub-control CPU 41a will be described. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as an extension lottery means, an extension content determination means, and an extension control means.

  First, in the preparation mode, the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the special replay role, cherry role, or watermelon role, apart from the initial number of times determined at the time of transition from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode. (Preparation of preparation addition condition), an extra lottery for the ART specific mode is performed with reference to the extra determination table for preparation shown in FIG. In this extra lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a adds an extra content (extended content) to the ART specific mode including whether or not to add the extra number to each specific remaining G number counter and the extra number to be added to each specific remaining G number counter. ). When the sub control CPU 41a determines to add the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter based on the lottery result of the addition lottery during the preparation mode, the sub control CPU 41a uses the determined number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter. Add to.

  In addition, when the sub control CPU 41a shifts from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode after adding the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter during the preparation mode, the specific remaining G number counter during the preparation mode. Apart from the number of additions added to, control is performed so that the initial number is further added regardless of whether or not the preparation addition condition is satisfied.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a is determined to add to the ART specific mode based on the lottery result of the extra lottery during the preparation mode, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the specific remaining G number along with the variable game for which the extra is determined. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to display.

Here, the preparation addition determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, the preparation addition determination table is a table for determining the addition contents for the ART specific mode in the preparation mode, and is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the addition determination table in preparation, the type of winning combination determined by the start of the variable game, the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter (including “0”), It is specified that the determination probability for determining the number of times of addition corresponds. In the present embodiment, a special replay role, a cherry role, and a watermelon role are defined as the winning role.

  As a specific example, when the winning combination is a special replay combination, “10” is set to the second specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 328/65535, and the second specific remaining G number is set to 66/65535. “20” is added to the counter, “30” is added to the second specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 33/65535, and “50” is added to the second specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 7/65535.

  In this way, the extra content for the ART specific mode is determined based on the winning combination in the preparation mode. In particular, when the winning combination is a watermelon role, the second specific remaining G number counter is added with a higher probability than when it is a cherry role, and when the winning role is a cherry role, a special replay role is performed. The second specific remaining G number counter is added with a higher probability than in some cases. Further, in the preparation mode, it may be added to the second specific remaining G number counter, but is defined not to be added to the first specific remaining G number counter. For this reason, it is generally desirable to quickly shift from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode. However, if the transition from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode is early, there is little opportunity to perform an extra lottery, and the second specific remaining G number counter The possibility of being added is reduced. On the other hand, even if the stay in the preparation mode becomes longer, there are many chances for the extra lottery to be executed, and the possibility of being added to the second specific remaining G number counter is increased.

  Next, in the ART specific mode, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the specific medium addition determination table shown in FIG. 9 when the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is instructed (specific addition condition, specific lottery condition is established). Then, an extra lottery for determining the extra content for the ART specific mode is performed. If the CPU 41a for sub-control determines to add the number of times of addition to each specific remaining G number counter based on the lottery result of the extra lottery during the ART specific mode, the determined number of additional times is set to each specific remaining G number. Add to the counter.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines to add to the ART specific mode based on the lottery result of the extra lottery during the ART specific mode, the specific remaining G number is accompanied by the variable game for which the additional is determined. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to be displayed.

Here, the specific medium addition determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, the specific medium addition determination table is a table for determining the addition contents for the ART specific mode in each ART specific mode, and is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the specific medium addition determination table, the type of winning combination determined at the start of the variable game, the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter (including “0”), It is specified that the determination probability for determining the number of times of addition corresponds. In the present embodiment, the winning combination is defined as a cherry combination and a watermelon combination.

  As a specific example, when the winning combination is a cherry combination, “5” is set to the first specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 1311/65535, and the first specific remaining G number counter is set to 33/65535. “10” is added to the first specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 33/65535, respectively.

  In this way, the additional content for the ART specific mode is determined based on the winning combination in the ART specific mode. In particular, in the ART specific mode, when the winning combination is a watermelon role, it is added to the first specific remaining G counter with a higher probability than when the winning role is a cherry role. The second specific remaining G number counter is added with the same probability as in the case of a combination. In the ART specific mode, the first specific remaining G number counter or the second specific remaining G number counter may be added (but not added to both), and the first specific remaining G number counter Is added with a higher probability than the second specific remaining G counter.

  Next, in the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a individually performs an extra lottery for the plurality of ART specific modes, such as when a winning combination of cherry or watermelon is instructed. In the present embodiment, in the addition lottery of multiple systems, the first addition lottery (first lottery, special lottery) performed according to the probability corresponding to the winning combination, and the display of the specific image displayed on the effect display device 14 The second extra lottery (second lottery, specific lottery) performed according to the probability corresponding to the color is included, and the indexes for deriving the lottery result are different. In the present embodiment, the special lottery condition and the special addition condition are established by winning the cherry role or the watermelon role as the specific role.

  Then, when the first extra lottery is won, the first extra control (first extension control) for adding to the ART specific mode based on the first extra lottery and the second extra lottery when the second extra lottery is won. The second addition control (second extension control) for adding to the ART specific mode based on the winning of each can be executed individually.

  When the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role is instructed, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the special medium addition determination table shown in FIG. 10 and performs the first addition lottery for the ART specific mode. In the first extra lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the extra content for the ART specific mode. Then, if the sub-control CPU 41a determines to add the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter based on the lottery result of the first addition lottery during the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a Add to the G number counter.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a is determined to add to the ART specific mode based on the lottery result of the first extra lottery during the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the specific remaining in accordance with the variable game for which the additional is determined. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to display the G number.

Here, the special middle addition determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 10, the special medium addition determination table is a table for determining the addition contents for the ART specific mode, and is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the special medium addition determination table, the type of winning combination determined by the start of the variable game, the number of additions to each specific remaining G counter (including “0”), It is specified that the determination probability for determining the number of times of addition corresponds. In the present embodiment, a special replay role, a cherry role, and a watermelon role are defined as the winning role. In the present embodiment, as a combination of the number of additions to be added to each specific remaining G number counter, “0”, “5”, “10”, “20”, “30” are added to the first specific remaining G number counter. , “50”, “100” are defined as combinations in which “0”, “10”, “20”, “30”, “50”, “100” are added to the second specific remaining G counter. ing. As described above, since there are many combinations of the number of additions to be added to each specific remaining G number counter, a part of the special medium addition determination table is omitted in FIG.

  As a specific example, when the winning combination is a special replay combination, “5” is displayed in the first specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 197/65535, and the first specific remaining G number is generated with a probability of 1/65535. Each counter is incremented by “10”.

  In this way, the extra content for the ART specific mode is determined based on the winning combination in the ART special mode. In particular, if the winning combination is a watermelon role, it is added to each specific remaining G number with a higher probability than if it is a cherry role, and if the winning role is a cherry role, it is a special replay role A higher probability is added to each specific remaining G number. Further, in the ART special mode, the first specific remaining G number counter and the second specific remaining G number counter may be added based on the lottery result of the first extra lottery. It is prescribed that the specific remaining G number counter is added with a higher probability than the second specific remaining G number counter.

Here, a specific image effect for displaying a specific image will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11A, in the ART special mode, one specific image TG1 (silver) may be displayed on the effect display device 14 in accordance with the execution of the variable game.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), when the execution of the variable game is advanced while the ART special mode is continued, the specific display that has already been displayed on the effect display device 14 with the execution of the variable game. Apart from the image TG1, one specific image TG2 (gold) may be displayed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the execution of the variable game is advanced while the ART special mode is continued, the effect display device 14 has already displayed the variable game. Apart from the specific images TG1 and TG2, one specific image TG3 (rainbow color) may be displayed.

  As described above, the specific images TG1 to TG3 may be displayed on the effect display device 14 for each variable game during the continuation of the ART special mode. Then, in the final variation game in which the ART special mode is not continued, as shown in FIG. 11D, an image prompting the operation of the MAXBET button 20 as the operation means is displayed, and the specific images TG1 to TG3 are shaken. A special effect displayed on the screen is executed, and an operation valid period is set.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (e), when the operation valid period ends without operating the MAXBET button 20 within the operation effective period, each of the specific images TG1 to TG3 changes to an image indicating the number of times of addition. Is displayed. In particular, the success effect is executed when the addition is performed according to the change of the specific image, and the failure effect is executed when the addition is not performed according to the change of the specific image. In this case, a failure effect is executed corresponding to the specific images TG1 and TG2, and “0” is displayed as the number of times of addition for each specific remaining G number counter. On the other hand, a success effect is executed corresponding to the specific image TG3, and an image in which “10” is added to the first specific remaining G number counter is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (f), an image in which “10” is added to the first specific remaining G number counter as the total number of additions based on the lottery result of the second extra lottery while the ART special mode is continued. Is displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11G, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation effective period, each of the specific images TG1 to TG3 is displayed so as to change to an image indicating the number of times of addition. In this case, a failure effect is executed corresponding to the specific image TG1, and “0” is displayed as the number of times of addition for each specific remaining G counter. On the other hand, a success effect is executed corresponding to the specific image TG2, an image in which “20” is added to the first specific remaining G number counter, and a success effect is executed corresponding to the specific image TG3. An image in which “30” is added to the specific remaining G number counter is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (h), “20” is added to the first specific remaining G number counter as the second specific number as the total number of additions based on the lottery result of the second additional lottery while the ART special mode is continued. An image in which “30” is added to the remaining G counter is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation effective period, the addition is more easily performed than when the MAXBET button 20 is not operated within the operation effective period.

  Here, the control related to the second extra lottery will be described. In the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the addition level determination table shown in FIG. 12 when the normal replay combination or the special replay combination is instructed, and adds the additional level indicating the degree of advantage for the player. The level is set in the sub-control RAM 41c. As an additional level in the present embodiment, a plurality of additional levels defined in a specific order such as “1” to “3” can be set, and the higher the additional level according to the specific order, the more advantageous the additional level. The degree is advantageous for the player. Further, while the second extra lottery is performed according to the set extra level, the first extra lottery is performed regardless of the extra level. The sub-control CPU 41a that sets the extra level functions as a stage setting unit.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the added level set in the sub-control RAM 41c and arranges (displaces) the movable body K at a position corresponding to the set added level. Control to notify the set extra level is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the addition level is “1”, the movable body K is arranged at a position where the movable bodies K1 and K2 come into contact with each other. Then, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the addition level is “2”, the movable body K is disposed at a position where each of the movable bodies K1 and K2 is displaced laterally, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 4), when the added level is “3”, the movable body K is arranged at a position where each movable body K1, K2 is further displaced laterally.

  In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a is instructed to win the special replay role, cherry role, or watermelon role during the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the specific image determination table shown in FIG. 14 to display the specific image. A specific image lottery for determining whether or not and the type (display color) of the specific image is performed. The specific image lottery is performed based on the type of the small role instructed to win and the set extra level, and when the winner is selected, the determination condition for the extra content for the ART specific mode is established. Then, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines to display the specific image based on the lottery result of the specific image lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a uses the specific image information indicating that the specific image is displayed in the determined display color. While storing in the predetermined area | region of RAM41c, the control which displays a specific image with the determined display color on the effect display apparatus 14 is performed. In particular, if the sub-control CPU 41a determines that a specific image is displayed a plurality of times while the ART special mode is being continued, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the predetermined image information (up to seven times in the present embodiment) as an upper limit, and sets the specific image information for each determination. While accumulating and storing, a control is performed to display a plurality of specific images on the effect display device 14 in the determined display color. The sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as an extension suggestion effect control means.

  If the sub-control CPU 41a determines to display a specific image during the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the display color initial addition determination table shown in FIG. 15 and performs the second addition lottery for the ART specific mode. In the second extra lottery, the sub control CPU 41a tentatively determines the extra content for the ART specific mode and stores it in a predetermined area of the sub control RAM 41c so as to correspond to the specific image information.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a takes one during the ART special mode while the ART variable mode is started, based on the special remaining G number, when the final variable game in the ART special mode is started. However, when the specific image information is stored, the operation valid period setting condition is satisfied, and the operation valid period in which the operation of the MAXBET button 20 is valid is set. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the operation effective period setting condition is not stored in the final variation game of the ART special mode when no specific image information is stored while the ART special mode is continued. Does not hold and does not set the operation valid period. The sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as an operation valid period setting unit.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a displays an image prompting the user to operate the MAXBET button 20 on the effect display device 14 while the operation valid period is set, and executes a special effect displayed so that the specific image is shaken. Take control. The sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as a special effect control means.

  When the MAXBET operation command indicating that the operation of the MAXBET button 20 has been performed from the main control CPU 40a is not input within the operation valid period, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the display color initial addition shown in FIG. The added content provisionally determined for each specific image information by referring to the determination table is controlled as valid. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the total number of additions based on the addition contents to each specific remaining G number counter.

  On the other hand, when the MAXBET operation command indicating that the operation of the MAXBET button 20 has been performed is input within the operation valid period, the sub-control CPU 41a specifies by referring to the display color initial addition determination table shown in FIG. Overlay contents tentatively determined for each image information are invalidated. Then, the sub control CPU 41a refers to the display color operation addition determination table shown in FIG. 16 and determines the addition contents for the ART specific mode for each specific image information stored in the sub control RAM 41c. The second extra lottery (second lottery, specific lottery) is performed again.

  In the second extra lottery by referring to the extra determination table at the time of display color operation, the sub control CPU 41a determines the extra content for the ART specific mode for each specific image information, and the sub control RAM 41c corresponds to the specific image information. Store in a predetermined area. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the total number of additions based on the addition contents to each specific remaining G number counter.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a determines which of the addition determination tables when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation effective period during the ART special mode or when the operation effective period is ended without operating the MAXBET button 20. Based on the lottery result of the second extra lottery by referring to the above, a success effect or a failure effect is executed for each specific image. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a changes the specific image corresponding to the specific image information as an image indicating the number of additions, displays the total number of additions displayed, and further displays the specific remaining G number after the addition. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled.

Here, the added level determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12, the added level determination table is a table for determining the added level related to the added value, and is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the added level determination table, the winning combination, the current added level, the added level to be transferred, and the determination probability for determining the added level to be transferred are defined to correspond to each other. In the present embodiment, a special replay combination and a normal replay combination are defined as the winning combination. Further, “1” to “3” are defined as the additional level in the present embodiment, and when the additional level is large, the ART specific mode (ART first specific mode and ART second specific mode) is smaller than the small level. The addition to is advantageous.

  As a specific example, when the current extra level is “2”, when the special replay role is won, “3” is determined as the extra level to be transferred with a probability of 23593/65535, and 19442/65535 It is determined such that “2” is maintained as an extra level with probability. In addition, when the extra level is “1”, when the normal replay role is won, when the special level is won when the extra level is “3”, the winning role is other than the special replay role and the normal replay role. If you win, the extra level will be maintained.

  In this way, the additional level to be transferred is determined based on the winning combination and the current additional level. In particular, the promotion condition can be established on the condition that the special replay combination as a special combination is won, and the added level is set to be increased when the promotion condition is established. On the other hand, on condition that the normal replay combination as a normal combination is won, a demotion condition different from the promotion condition can be established, and the additional level is set to be small when the demotion condition is satisfied. For this reason, when the special replay combination is won, the additional control for the ART specific mode is more advantageous than when the normal replay combination is won.

Next, the specific image determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, the specific image determination table is a table for determining whether or not to display the specific image on the effect display device 14 during the ART special mode, and for determining the display color of the specific image. It is stored in the ROM 41b. In the specific image determination table, the current superimposition level, the winning combination, the display content (non-display and display color) of the specific image, and the determination probability for determining the display content of the specific image are defined to correspond to each other. ing. In the present embodiment, a special replay role, a cherry role, and a watermelon role are defined as the winning role. Further, silver, gold, and rainbow colors are defined as display colors of the specific image. In this embodiment, the gold color is more easily controlled to be added than silver, and the rainbow color is more easily controlled to be controlled than gold.

  As a specific example, when the current addition level is “1” and the winning combination is a cherry role, the display content of the specific image is a silver of 655/65535 with a probability of 2621/65535. The gold color is determined by the probability, and the rainbow color is determined by the probability of 7/65535.

  Thus, the display content of the specific image is determined based on the current extra level and the winning combination. In particular, it is specified that the specific image is displayed with a higher probability when the current addition level is high than when it is low. Further, it is defined that when the current addition level is high, the specific image is displayed in each display color with a higher probability than when it is low. Also, as the display color of a specific image, the advantageous display color is determined with a lower probability, specifically, the silver color is determined with a higher probability than the gold color, and the gold color is determined with a higher probability than the rainbow color. Is done. When the winning combination is a watermelon combination, the specific image is displayed with a higher probability than when the winning combination is a cherry combination, and an advantageous display color is determined. Further, when the winning combination is a cherry combination, the specific image is displayed with a higher probability than when the winning combination is a special replay combination, and an advantageous display color is determined.

Next, the display color initial addition determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15, the display color initial addition determination table is referred to in the variation game in which the display of the specific image is started on the effect display device 14 in the ART special mode, and corresponds to the ART specific mode corresponding to the specific image to be displayed. This is a table for tentatively determining the contents of addition, and is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the display color initial addition determination table, a determination for determining the display color of a specific image, the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter (including “0”), and the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter It is specified that the probability corresponds. In the present embodiment, silver, gold, and rainbow colors are defined as display colors of the specific image.

  As a specific example, when the display color of the specific image is silver, the first specific remaining G number counter is “5” with a probability of 9830/65535, and the first specific remaining G with a probability of 4391/65535. “10” is added to each of the number counters.

  In this way, the addition content for the ART specific mode is determined based on the display color of the specific image. In particular, when the display color of the specific image is gold, the addition is performed with a higher probability than when the display color is silver, and a large number of additions is determined. Further, when the display color of the specific image is rainbow, the addition is performed with a higher probability than when the display color is gold, and a large number of additions is determined. It should be noted that when the display color of the specific image is rainbow, it is determined to be added, but when it is silver or gold, it may not be added. Further, it is specified that the value is added to the first specific remaining G number counter and not added to the second specific remaining G number counter.

Next, the display color operation addition determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 16, the display color operation addition determination table is referred to when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation effective period when the specific image is displayed in the ART special mode, and the specific image to be displayed. Is a table for re-determining the additional contents for the ART specific mode and stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the display color operation addition determination table, for determining the display color of the specific image, the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter (including “0”), and the number of additions to each specific remaining G number counter It is specified that the decision probability corresponds. In the present embodiment, silver, gold, and rainbow colors are defined as display colors of the specific image.

  As a specific example, when the display color of the specific image is silver, the first specific remaining G number counter is “5” with a probability of 11773/65535, and the second specific remaining G is with a probability of 301/65535. “5” is added to the number counter, “5” is added to the first specific remaining G number counter, and “5” is added to the second specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 301/65535.

  In this way, the addition content for the ART specific mode is determined based on the display color of the specific image. In particular, when the display color of the specific image is gold, the number of additions is determined with a higher probability than when it is silver, and when the display color of the specific image is rainbow, it is more than the case of gold Many additions are determined with a high probability. Further, it is defined to be added to one or both of the first specific remaining G number counter and the second specific remaining G number counter.

  Further, according to the comparison between the display color initial addition determination table shown in FIG. 15 and the display color operation addition determination table shown in FIG. 16, the display color initial addition determination table is referred to when the display color operation addition determination table is referred to. A larger number of times of addition is determined with a higher probability than when the determination table is referred to. Further, when the display color operation addition determination table is referred to, the second specific remaining G number counter is added with a higher probability than when the display color initial addition determination table is referred to. In this way, when the display color operation addition determination table is referred to, the player is advantageously added more than when the display color initial addition determination table is referred to. In other words, it is easier to determine that the addition of the ART specific mode is more advantageous when the condition is operated than when the MAXBET button 20 is not operated within the operation valid period. Has been.

Here, with reference to FIG. 17, the timing for notifying the lottery result of each extra lottery in the ART special mode will be described.
As shown in FIG. 17A, when the first extra lottery is won in the variable game started at the timing indicated by the symbol T0 during the ART special mode, the first stop operation in the variable game is performed. 3. At the timing indicated by reference numeral T1 where there has been a stop operation, the number of extra times based on the winning is notified.

Further, when the first extra lottery is not won, as in the case of the variable game started at the timing indicated by the reference symbol T2, the notification regarding the addition is not performed with the variable game.
Further, in the variable game started at the timing indicated by the reference symbol T3, when the first extra lottery is won, the timing indicated by the reference symbol T4 at which the third stop operation that is the final stop operation in the variable game is performed, The number of additions based on the winning is notified.

  When the first extra lottery is not won in the final variation game in the ART special mode in which the ART special mode is not continued, such as the variation game started at the timing indicated by the symbol T5, the symbol T2 is indicated. As with the variation game started at the timing, the notification regarding the addition is not performed with the variation game.

  As described above, the lottery result of the first extra lottery is notified along with each variable game that the first extra lottery wins, and in the final variable game of the ART special mode, a notification regarding the addition during the continuation of the ART special mode is issued. Not done.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17B, the second extra lottery will be described. When the specific image lottery is won in the variable game started at the timing indicated by the symbol T10, the variable game is being executed. The display of the specific image TG1 based on the winning is started at the timing indicated by reference numeral T11. The first specific image TG1 is continuously displayed until the final variation game in the ART special mode.

  In addition, when the specific image lottery is won in the variable game started at the timing indicated by the symbol T12, the specific image TG2 based on the winning is displayed at the timing indicated by the symbol T13 during the execution of the variable game. Be started. Note that the second specific image TG2 is also continuously displayed until the final variation game in the ART special mode.

Further, when the specific image lottery is not won as in the variation game started at the timing indicated by the symbol T14, the specific image is not displayed along with the variation game.
If the second extra lottery is not won in the final variation game in the ART special mode, such as the variation game started at the timing indicated by T15, the variation started at the timing indicated by T14. Like the game, the specific image is not displayed with the variable game.

  As described above, regarding the lottery result of the second extra lottery, the specific image is displayed during each variation game, and the degree of advantage of the additional content with respect to the ART specific mode is suggested by the display color of the specific image.

  In addition, when at least one specific image is displayed before the final variation game in the ART special mode is started, the operation effective period is set at a timing indicated by reference numeral T15, and the special effect is generated within the operation effective period. Is executed. On the other hand, when one specific image is not displayed before the final variation game in the ART special mode is started, the operation valid period is not set and the special effect is not executed.

  Then, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period is ended without operating the MAXBET button 20, each specific image is determined based on the lottery result of the second extra lottery. A success effect or a failure effect is executed, and the specific image is changed to an image indicating the number of times of addition. That is, after the operation valid period ends, the number of times of actual addition and the total number of times of addition are notified in correspondence with the specific image displayed during the continuation of the ART special mode. . Further, in the present embodiment, depending on whether or not the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation valid period, there is a case where the control regarding the addition is different and the number of additions is changed.

  Prior to the start of the operation effective period, the display color of the specific image suggests the degree of advantage of the addition, but the actual number of additions is not notified, and the actual number of additions is notified only after the operation effective period ends. The Rukoto. In other words, the effect for displaying the specific image is executed as an extended suggestion effect that suggests the degree of advantage for the addition by the display color (type, effect mode) before the actual number of times of addition is notified.

  In addition, when the notification (first notification) indicating the lottery result of the first extra lottery is compared with the notification (second notification) indicating the lottery result of the second extra lottery, the notification timing and the notification content are different. Specifically, when it is determined that the first extra lottery is won and the extra is performed during the ART special mode, the number of extra times determined for each of the variable games with the determined variable games. The 1st information which shows is performed. On the other hand, when it is tentatively determined that the second extra lottery is won and the extra is performed during the ART special mode, no notification is given with each of the tentatively determined variable games. Then, with the end of the ART special mode, the second notification indicating the number of additions and the total number of additions while the ART special mode is continued is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in a highly reliable RT game, there is a case where the progress of the game is stagnated (hereinafter referred to as “freeze”) with the start of the variable game by the operation of the first start lever 22. During this freeze, each reel is accompanied by a change or stop (motion) in the production, and a freeze production as a stagnant production indicating whether or not the game is advantageous to the player can be executed. Yes.

  In the present embodiment, as a stop mode in the production of each reel, “7 assortments” in which the same symbols (“red 7”, “white 7”, “black 7”) are arranged on all reels among the reels. "It is included. Then, it is notified that the game is advantageous to the player with the stop of “7 sets”. In the present embodiment, the game advantageous to the player corresponds to the transition control to the production state advantageous to the player and the addition to the ART specific mode.

  On the other hand, as a stop mode in the production of each reel, although the same symbols (“red 7”, “white 7”, “black 7”) are aligned in specific two rows of each reel, the reach state is reached. When the symbols that are not the same in one row are stopped, “7 out of line” in which the same symbols are not arranged on all reels is included. Then, it is notified that the game is not advantageous to the player with the stop of “7 losing”.

  Specifically, when the transition from the main specific mode to the main special mode is performed, the freeze effect is executed in the first variable game that has shifted to the main special mode, while the main specific mode does not shift to the main special mode, It may also be executed when staying in a specific mode is continued.

  On the other hand, the freeze effect is executed when it is determined in the main special mode that the right to shift again to the main special mode (special re-transfer right) is generated immediately after the end of the main special mode. May also be executed if it is not determined to generate. In addition, the freeze effect is also executed when the mode is actually shifted again to the main special mode immediately after the end of the main special mode.

  In addition, the freeze effect is executed in a special period in which the addition to the main specific mode is possible in the main special mode, and is executed both when the addition to the main specific mode is performed and when it is not performed.

Here, the operation of each reel as a freeze effect will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 18A, when the start of the variation game is permitted, if one variation game is started by a start operation of the start lever 22, freeze control may be performed. During the freeze control, the reels cannot be stopped by operating the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, and the game progresses normally. Then, after the wait time elapses from the start operation of the start lever 22, the production variation of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R is started. Subsequently, during the freeze control, the specific two rows of reels 13L and 13R are stopped so as to stop “Red 7” on the pay line L1, regardless of the player's operation. In this case, the operation is controlled as an operation valid period during which the operation of the MAXBET button 20 is valid.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period is ended without operating the MAXBET button 20, the last one column is displayed. The reel 13C is stopped. In particular, when it is notified that the game is advantageous to the player, the last one row of reels 13C is stopped so as to stop “Red 7” on the winning line L1, and “Red 7” is displayed on the winning line L1. "Alignment" is stopped. In this case, it is controlled as an operation effective period during which the operation of the start lever 22 is effective.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18C, when the start lever 22 is operated within the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without the start lever 22 being operated, the freeze control is released. The When the freeze control is released, the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R start to change, and the reels can be stopped by operating the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), at the stop eye (for example, the normal stop eye) based on the winning combination determined by the start of the variable game by the operation of each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R. Each reel 13L, 13C, 13R is stopped, and one fluctuation game with a freezing effect ends.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18 (e), when it is notified that the game is not advantageous to the player, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation valid period, or the MAXBET button 20 is not operated. When the operation valid period ends, the last one row of reels 13C is stopped so that symbols other than “7” are stopped on the winning line L1. As a result, the “red 7 off” is stopped.

  Then, as in the case where “Red 7 assortment” is stopped, as shown in FIG. 18C, the freeze control is released, and the fluctuations of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are started. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), each reel 13L, 13C, 13R is stopped at a stop based on the winning combination determined with the start of the variable game as a trigger, and is performed once with a freeze effect. The floating game ends.

  In this way, as shown in FIGS. 18A, 18C, and 18D, the reels are stopped and changed in the same manner, but FIG. 18B and FIG. As shown in FIG. 18E, whether or not to shift to the main special mode (ART special mode) is notified depending on whether the stop mode in the production is “equal to red 7” or “out of red 7”. Will be. In other words, until “red 7 uniform” or “red 7 out of alignment” stops, it is not possible to specify whether or not the game is advantageous to the player from the change and stop in the production of each reel.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18 (f), when it is notified that the game is advantageous to the player only during the ART special mode, “seven reds” are displayed on the winning line L1 in each reel. After being stopped, there may be a transition to a special period.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (g), in the case of shifting to the special period, when the start lever 22 is operated within the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without the start lever 22 being operated. The freeze control is continued, and the production variation of each reel 13L, 13C, 13R is started. Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (h), regardless of the player's operation, there is a case where “white 7 alignment” is stopped on the winning line L1 in each reel, and an addition to the ART specific mode is performed. It is further notified that the special period will continue.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18 (i), variations in the effects of the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are started regardless of the player's operation. Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (j), regardless of the player's operation, there is a case where the “black 7 losing” is stopped on the winning line L1 in each reel, and the ART specific mode is not added, Furthermore, it is notified that the special period is not continued.

  Then, the freeze control is canceled and the reels 13 </ b> L are released as shown in FIG. 18C in the same manner as when “red 7 alignment” and “red 7 out of alignment” are stopped during the special period other than the main special mode. , 13C, 13R starts to change. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), the reels 13L, 13C, and 13R are stopped at the stop (for example, the normal stop) based on the winning combination determined by the start of the variable game, One fluctuation game with a freeze effect ends.

Here, the freeze effect in the main specific mode will be described with reference to FIG.
During the main specific mode, when it is determined that the right to shift to the main special mode is generated when the normal replay role is won, the main control CPU 40a displays the freeze effect flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c, A value indicating execution of the freeze effect that notifies the transition to the main special mode is stored. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs to the sub control CPU 41a a freeze instruction command for instructing that a freeze effect informing the transition to the main special mode can be executed in the next variation game.

  On the other hand, when the normal replay combination is won during the main specific mode, the main control CPU 40a determines whether to execute the freeze effect when it is determined that the right to shift to the main special mode is not generated. . In this case, when it is determined that the freeze effect is to be executed, the main control CPU 40a stores a value indicating the execution of the freeze effect informing that the stay in the main specific mode is continued in the freeze effect flag. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs, to the sub control CPU 41a, a freeze instruction command for instructing that a freeze effect for informing that the stay in the main specific mode is continued in the next variation game can be executed.

  On the other hand, if the main control CPU 40a determines not to execute the freeze effect, the main control CPU 40a stores a value indicating non-execution of the freeze effect in the freeze effect flag. In addition, during the main identification mode, the main control CPU 40a stores a value indicating non-execution of the freeze effect in the freeze effect flag even when the normal replay combination is not won.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the normal replay combination is won and the value indicating execution of the freeze effect is set in the freeze effect flag, the main control CPU 40a is the last stop operation. 3. It is determined whether or not the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stopping operation at the timing indicated by reference numeral T20 at which the stopping operation has been performed.

  When it is determined that the pressing order for operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation, the main control CPU 40a performs the freeze effect in the next variable game without updating the freeze effect flag. Will be executed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons does not match the pressing order of the specific stop operation, the main control CPU 40a stores a value indicating non-execution of the freeze effect in the freeze effect flag, The freeze effect is not executed in the next floating game. Even when the non-execution of the freeze effect is controlled by the main control CPU 40a as described above, the sub control CPU 41a does not win the winning combination (winning information group) specified by the variable game start command and various operation signals. The non-execution of the freeze effect can be specified by comparing the pressing order by.

  Then, by the start operation of the start lever 22 at the timing indicated by the symbol T21, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination and starts the variable game. In this case, the main control CPU 40a reads the value stored in the freeze effect flag, and performs control so that the freeze effect can be executed in accordance with the value.

  When the value indicating the execution of the freeze effect for notifying the transition to the main special mode is stored in the freeze effect flag at the timing indicated by reference symbol T21, the main control CPU 40a notifies the transition to the main special mode. The production is executed.

  In this case, the main control CPU 40a sets the main effect flag indicating the main special mode at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21, shifts from the running variable game to the main special mode, and is controlled to shift to the main special mode. Start the second floating game. Then, the main control CPU 40a starts the freeze control, and outputs a freeze instruction command for instructing the setting of the freeze to the sub control CPU 41a along with the start of the freeze control. This freeze instruction command causes the sub-control CPU 41a to grasp the freeze setting.

  In addition, during the freeze control, after the start operation of the start lever 22 is performed, the reels cannot be stopped by operating the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R until the freeze is released. Therefore, the progress of the game at the normal time is stopped by that amount.

  Then, during the freeze control, the main control CPU 40a causes each reel to perform a production change after the wait time has elapsed from the timing indicated by the symbol T21, and at the timing indicated by the symbol T22, “ The specific two rows of reels are controlled to stop “Red 7” (reach state with “Red 7”). Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control to set a predetermined operation valid period during which the operation of the MAXBET button 20 is valid from the timing indicated by reference numeral T22.

  Then, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation effective period or when the operation effective period is ended without operating the MAXBET button 20 (timing shown by reference numeral T23), the main control CPU 40a is on the winning line L1. "Red 7" is stopped and the last line of reels is controlled to stop "Red 7 aligned" on the winning line L1. In this way, during freeze control, the main control CPU 40a has five or more portions of other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped (such as “red 7”). Even so, with the slip control, the type of symbol that is desired to be stopped on the winning line L1 is stopped. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the operation effective period in which the operation of the start lever 22 is effective from the timing indicated by reference numeral T23.

  When the start lever 22 is operated within the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without the start lever 22 being operated (timing indicated by reference numeral T24), a release condition for releasing the freeze is satisfied, The main control CPU 40a cancels the freeze and ends the freeze effect.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a changes each reel in accordance with the release of the freeze and effectively controls the stop operation of each reel by operating the three stop buttons. In this case, the main control CPU 40a causes the normal variable game to be executed based on the winning combination determined at the timing indicated by the symbol T21. Note that the main control CPU 40a continues the state in which “seven red matches” on the winning line L1 are stopped for production until the release condition for releasing the freeze at the timing indicated by the symbol T24 is satisfied.

  The main control CPU 40a outputs a freeze release instruction command for instructing the release of the freeze to the sub control CPU 41a in accordance with the release of the freeze. This freeze release instruction command causes the sub-control CPU 41a to grasp the release of the freeze. In this way, control is performed so as to set and cancel the freeze, and to cause each reel to change or stop in production. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that executes such processing functions as a stagnation control means and a stagnant effect control means.

  On the other hand, when the value indicating the execution of the freeze effect informing that the main control mode 40 is to be continued is stored in the freeze effect flag at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21 during the main specific mode. A freeze effect for informing that the stay in the main specific mode is continued is executed.

  Mainly explaining the control different from the freeze effect informing the transition to the main special mode, the main control CPU 40a continues to stay in the main specific mode at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21 even in the running variation game. The main effect flag indicating the main special mode is not set. Then, the main control CPU 40a starts a variable game in which the stay in the main specific mode is continued, starts freeze control, and causes each reel to change in production after the wait time has elapsed.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the specific two rows of reels so as to stop “red 7” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T22. Subsequently, during the freeze control, the main control CPU 40a stops symbols other than “7” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T23, and stops “red 7 off” on the winning line L1. The last reel of reels is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a continues the state in which “red 7 deviation” is stopped on the winning line L1 until the release condition for releasing the freeze at the timing indicated by the symbol T24 is satisfied.

  As described above, when the normal replay combination is won in the main specific mode, the freezing effect is executed in the next floating game, and the “red 7 assortment” is stopped during the freezing control. The transition to the special mode is notified. On the other hand, the “continuation of staying in the main specific mode” is notified by “red 7 out of” being stopped during freeze control.

  During the main specific mode, the main control CPU 40a normally performs the freeze and freeze effects without executing the freeze and freeze effects when the value indicating non-execution of the freeze effects is stored in the freeze effect flag at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21. Will be executed.

  On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a displays the display image for the ART specific mode on the effect display device 14 based on the sub-effect flag until the timing indicated by reference numeral T21 at which the freeze instruction command is input. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a produces a display image for freeze corresponding to the freeze effect from the timing indicated by reference numeral T21 at which the freeze instruction command is input to the timing indicated by reference numeral T24 at which the freeze release instruction command is input. It is displayed on the display device 14. The sub-control CPU 41a causes the effect display device 14 to display a display image in which the effect state to be shifted cannot be specified until the timing indicated by reference numeral T23, and at the timing indicated by reference numeral T23, the sub-control CPU 41a enters the stop mode on the effect of each reel. In response, a display image that can specify the effect state to be transferred is displayed on the effect display device 14. Subsequently, the sub-control CPU 41a starts for the ART specific mode or the ART special mode that can specify the shifted effect state based on the sub-effect flag from the timing indicated by the reference symbol T24 when the freeze release instruction command is input. Is displayed on the effect display device 14.

  Next, the freeze effect during the main special mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 19B and 19C, and control different from the freeze effect executed during the main specific mode will be mainly described.

  During the main special mode, when the normal replay role is won, the main control CPU 40a refers to the special medium freeze effect lottery table shown in FIG. 20 and determines whether or not to execute the freeze effect, and the effect contents of the freeze effect. And the information which shows the decision content about a freezing effect is memorize | stored in a freezing effect flag. In particular, the contents of the effect of the freeze effect are associated with whether or not a special re-transfer right is generated and whether or not a special period is transferred. For this reason, if the normal replay combination is won during the main special mode, the main control CPU 40a determines whether to execute a freeze effect, whether to generate a special re-transfer right, or whether to shift to a special period. It will also be decided. Assuming that the special re-transfer right is generated, the special period condition is established and the transition to the special period can be determined, and when the special re-transfer right is not generated, the special period condition is satisfied. The transition to special periods is not determined. The main control CPU 40a that executes such processing functions as a special period determining means.

Here, the special freezing effect lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 20, the special medium freeze effect lottery table is a table for determining the effect content of the freeze effect including whether to execute the freeze effect in the main special mode, and is stored in the main control ROM 40b. ing. In the special freezing effect lottery table, it is specified that the effect content of the freeze effect corresponds to the determination probability for determining the effect content of the freeze effect.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the contents of the effect of the freeze effect include an effect content that does not execute the freeze effect and an effect content that causes the freeze effect to be executed to stop “Red 7 out of”. In addition, as the contents of the effect of the freeze effect, the effect of causing the freeze effect to be executed and stopping “Red 7 assortment” to enter the special period during the freeze control, and the effect of the freeze effect being executed as “Red 7 assortment”. Production content that is stopped and does not enter a special period during freeze control is included. As this special period, during the main special mode, after “Red 7 assortment” is stopped during execution of the freeze effect, the reels are further changed to the main specific mode with a change or stop (operation) in the effect. It is a period when can be added.

  As a specific example, the production content that stops the “red 7 out of” with a probability of 528/65536, the production content that stops the “match of red 7” with a probability of 132/65536 and does not enter the special period, 24 The contents of the production that enter the special period by stopping “Red 7 assortment” with the probability of / 65536 are respectively determined.

  As described above, when the normal replay combination is won, the effect content of the freeze effect in the main special mode (excluding the special period) is determined. In particular, as the content of the effect of the freeze effect, the content of the effect that stops “Red 7 out” is determined with a higher probability than the content of the effect that stops “Red 7 complete”. In addition, as the content of the effect of the freeze effect, the content of the effect that does not enter the special period is determined with higher probability than the content of the effect that does not enter the special period.

  Returning to the description here, the main control CPU 40a determines the effect content of the freeze effect and controls the freeze effect flag in accordance with the effect content. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a executes the freeze effect, and when the content of the effect that stops the “red 7 assortment” and enters the special period during the freeze control is determined, A value indicating execution of the freeze effect informing the transition of the special period is stored in the freeze effect flag. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs, to the sub control CPU 41a, a freeze instruction command for instructing execution of a freeze effect that notifies the occurrence of the special re-transfer right and the shift of the special period in the next variable game.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a notifies the occurrence of the special re-transfer right when executing the freeze effect and determining the content of the effect that stops the “red 7 assortment” during the freeze control and does not enter the special period. A value indicating execution of the freeze effect is stored in the freeze effect flag. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs to the sub control CPU 41a a freeze instruction command for instructing execution of a freeze effect for notifying the occurrence of the special re-transfer right in the next variation game.

  Also, the main control CPU 40a executes the freeze effect to execute the freeze effect, and when the content of the effect to stop the “red 7 off” is determined during the freeze control, the freeze effect that informs the non-occurrence of the special re-transfer right is issued. The indicated value is stored in the freeze effect flag. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs to the sub control CPU 41a a freeze instruction command for instructing execution of a freeze effect informing the non-occurrence of the special re-transfer right in the next variation game.

In addition, when determining the effect content that does not execute the freeze effect, the main control CPU 40a stores a value indicating non-execution of the freeze effect in the freeze effect flag.
Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), at the timing indicated by T20, the main control CPU 40a has three stop buttons triggered by the third stop operation that is the last stop operation of the variable game. The freeze effect flag is not updated regardless of whether or not the pressing order of operating the button matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation. For this reason, in the next floating game, a freeze effect can be executed with the determined effect content, triggered by the start of the variable game.

  Then, at the timing indicated by T21, the main control CPU 40a is a value indicating execution of the freeze effect for notifying the occurrence of the special re-transfer right and the shift of the special period, or the freeze effect for notifying the occurrence of the special re-transfer right. When the value indicating execution is stored in the freeze effect flag, “1” is added to the re-transfer right counter assigned to the main control RAM 40c. This remigration right counter is a counter indicating the number of occurrences of the special remigration right. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs a re-transfer right command indicating the value stored in the re-transfer right counter to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  Further, when the value indicating execution of the freeze effect for notifying the occurrence of the special re-transfer right is stored in the freeze effect flag, the main control CPU 40a executes the freeze effect for notifying the occurrence of the special re-transfer right. In this case, the main control CPU 40a starts one fluctuation game at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21, starts freeze control, and causes the reels to change in effect after the wait time has elapsed.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the specific two rows of reels so as to stop “red 7” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T22. Subsequently, during this freeze control, the main control CPU 40a ends “red 7” on the winning line L1 and stops “red 7 aligned” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T23. One row of reels is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a continues the state in which “seven red matches” on the winning line L1 are stopped for production until the release condition for releasing the freeze at the timing indicated by the symbol T24 is satisfied.

  Next, a case where the stay in the ART special mode is not continued will be described. At the timing indicated by reference numeral T30, the final variation game in the ART special mode ends. When the start lever 22 is started at the timing indicated by reference numeral T31, the main control CPU 40a causes the value stored in the re-transfer right counter to be “1” when the special remaining G number is “0”. When it is above, the value indicating the execution of the freeze effect informing the re-transition to the main special mode is set in the freeze effect flag. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs to the sub control CPU 41a a freeze instruction command for instructing execution of a freeze effect informing the re-transition to the main special mode in the variable game for starting execution. Further, the main control CPU 40a subtracts “1” from the value of the re-migration right counter. Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs a re-transfer right command indicating the value stored in the re-transfer right counter to the sub-control CPU 41a.

  Moreover, if the value which shows execution of the freeze production which alert | reports the re-transition to main special mode is memorize | stored in the freeze production flag, CPU40a for main control, without setting the main production flag which shows main specific mode, Shift from the running game to the main special mode again. In this case, the main control CPU 40a refers to the game number lottery table shown in FIG. 6 and determines the number of variable games in which the stay in the main special mode can be continued.

  In this case, the main control CPU 40a performs control after the timing indicated by reference numeral T31 in the same manner as after the timing indicated by reference numeral T21 in the freeze effect informing the transition to the main special mode.

  Thus, when the transition from the main special mode to the main specific mode is performed, if the re-transfer right flag is “1” or more, the main special mode is resumed without shifting to the main specific mode in the next variable game. The transition is made (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 19B). Then, a freeze effect is executed in the fluctuating game, and “red 7 assortment” is stopped during the freeze control, so that the transition from the main specific mode to the main special mode is notified.

  On the other hand, when the special remaining G number is “0” and the value stored in the re-transfer right counter is “0”, the main control CPU 40a sets the main effect flag indicating the main specific mode. , Shift from the running variation game to the main specific mode. Then, the main control CPU 40a sets a value indicating non-execution of the freeze effect in the freeze effect flag, and does not execute the freeze effect.

  Next, during the main special mode, when the value indicating execution of the freeze effect informing the non-occurrence of the special re-transfer right is stored in the freeze effect flag at the timing indicated by reference symbol T21, the main control CPU 40a A freeze effect that informs the non-occurrence of the right to re-transfer is executed.

  Explaining mainly the control different from the freeze effect for informing the occurrence of the special re-transfer right, the main control CPU 40a starts one variable game by the start operation of the start lever 22 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21. Freeze control is started, and after the wait time has elapsed, each reel is caused to vary in production.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the specific two rows of reels so as to stop “red 7” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T22. Subsequently, during the freeze control, the main control CPU 40a stops symbols other than “7” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T23, and stops “red 7 off” on the winning line L1. The last reel of reels is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a continues the state in which “red 7 deviation” is stopped on the winning line L1 until the release condition for releasing the freeze at the timing indicated by the symbol T24 is satisfied.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 19 (c), during the main special mode, the main control CPU 40a executes the freeze effect for notifying the occurrence of the special re-transfer right and the transfer of the special period at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21. When the indicated value is stored in the freeze effect flag, the freeze effect for notifying the occurrence of the special re-transfer right and the shift of the special period is executed.

  Explaining mainly the control different from the freeze effect for informing the occurrence of the special re-transfer right, the main control CPU 40a starts one variable game by the start operation of the start lever 22 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T21. Freeze control is started, and after the wait time has elapsed, each reel is caused to vary in production.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the specific two rows of reels so as to stop “red 7” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T22. Subsequently, during this freeze control, the main control CPU 40a ends “red 7” on the winning line L1 and stops “red 7 aligned” on the winning line L1 at the timing indicated by reference numeral T23. One row of reels is controlled.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a shifts to the special period when the start lever 22 is operated within the operation effective period or when the operation effective period ends without the start lever 22 being operated (timing indicated by reference numeral T24). The transition condition to be satisfied is established, and freeze control is continued. This special period is a period included in the main special mode and further included in the freeze control, and is a period that is advantageous to a player who can add to the ART specific mode.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a outputs a special period instruction command indicating the shift to the special period from the timing indicated by reference numeral T24 to the sub control CPU 41a. This special period instruction command causes the sub-control CPU 41a to grasp that it has shifted to the special period during freeze control.

  Subsequently, when shifting to the special period, the main control CPU 40a refers to the special medium freeze effect lottery table shown in FIG. 21 and sets the one stop mode in which each reel is stopped in the special period. And stored in the special period flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c. In this special period flag, a value indicating the stop mode in the production of each reel is stored as production content for one time. In particular, the contents of the effect during the special period are associated with whether or not to add, whether to add, and whether or not the special period continues. For this reason, the main control CPU 40a also determines whether or not to add to the ART specific mode, whether or not the additional advantage is advantageous, and whether or not the special period continues. The main control CPU 40a that executes such processing functions as a specific effect type determining means.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a stop mode instruction command for instructing the stop mode of each reel to the sub control CPU 41a during the special period. This stop mode instruction command causes the sub-control CPU 41a to know the stop mode of each reel executed during the special period.

Here, the special medium freeze effect lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 21, the special medium freeze effect lottery table is a table for determining the stop mode of each reel in the special period of the main special mode, and is stored in the main control ROM 40b. In the special freezing effect lottery table, it is defined that the stop mode (effect content) of each reel corresponds to the determination probability for determining the stop mode of each reel.

  Further, in the present embodiment, “7 deviation” and “7 assortment” are defined as the stop mode of each reel. In particular, when “seven assortment” is determined as the stop mode of each reel, an additional to the ART specific mode is performed, and a special period is continued, and there is an effect that stops “seven assortment” during freeze control again. Can be determined. On the other hand, when the production contents for stopping “7 losing” are determined as the stop mode of each reel, the special period is not continued without adding to the ART specific mode, and the special period ends. . In other words, the special period is continued until the production content for stopping the “7 deviation” is determined as the stop mode of each reel, and the stop mode of each reel is repeatedly determined. In the present embodiment, “red 7 uniform” is more advantageous than “white 7 uniform”, and “black 7 uniform” is more advantageous than “red 7 uniform”.

  As a specific example, the production content that stops “Red 7 Out” with a probability of 15/256, and the production content that stops “White 7 Out” with a probability of 34/256 have a probability of 1/256. The contents of the effect to stop “Black 7 Out” are determined.

  Thus, the stop mode of each reel in the special period of the main special mode is determined. In particular, as the stop mode of each reel, the production content for stopping “Red 7 assortment” is determined with higher probability than the production content for stopping “White 7 assortment”, and the production content for stopping “White 7 assortment”. This is determined with a higher probability than the production content that stops the “black 7”. In addition, as the content of the effect of the freeze effect, the content of the effect that stops “7 sets of each” is determined with a higher probability than the content of the effect that stops “7 out of each”.

  Returning to the description here, the main control CPU 40a causes each reel to change in production from the timing indicated by reference numeral T24. Then, when the value indicating “seven” is stored in the special period flag, the main control CPU 40a has the same type of “7” corresponding to the value of the special period flag regardless of the player's operation. Are controlled to stop on the pay line L1 (reach state at “7”). Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a stops the same type of “7” corresponding to the value of the special period flag on the winning line L1 regardless of the player's operation, as shown by the timing indicated by reference numeral T25, and wins the winning. The reels in the last row are controlled so as to stop “seven assortment” of the type corresponding to the value of the special period flag on the line L1.

  When the value indicating “seven” is stored in the special period flag, the main control CPU 40a again refers to the special medium freeze effect lottery table shown in FIG. Is determined and stored in a special period flag assigned to the main control RAM 40c.

  As described above, when the value indicating “seven” is stored in the special period flag, the main control CPU 40a continues the special period and repeats and changes the effect on the production of each reel. Will be controlled.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a causes the reels to perform variation in production again, and when the value indicating “7 miss” is stored in the special period flag, the special control CPU 40a performs the special control regardless of the player's operation. The specific two rows of reels are controlled so that the same type of “7” corresponding to the value of the period flag is stopped on the pay line L1. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a stops symbols other than “7” on the winning line L1, regardless of the player's operation, as in the timing indicated by T26, and sets the special period flag on the winning line L1. The reels in the last row are controlled so as to stop the type of “7 out of alignment” corresponding to the value.

  Then, when the start lever 22 is operated within the operation effective period, or when the operation effective period ends without the start lever 22 being operated (timing indicated by reference numeral T27), a release condition for releasing the freeze is satisfied, The main control CPU 40a cancels the freeze and ends the freeze effect. In addition, the main control CPU 40a causes the normal variable game to be executed based on the winning combination determined at the timing indicated by the symbol T21 in accordance with the release of the freeze.

  Thereafter, when the final variable game in the main special mode is completed, the main control CPU 40a determines that the value is “1” or more from the re-transfer right counter as shown in FIG. For this reason, a freeze effect that generates a special right to re-transfer is executed.

  Note that during the main special mode, the main control CPU 40a does not execute the freeze and the freeze effect when the value indicating the non-execution of the freeze effect is stored in the freeze effect flag at the timing indicated by T21. Will be executed.

  In this way, in the main special mode, when the normal replay role is won, the freeze effect is executed in the next floating game, and the “red 7 assortment” is stopped during the freeze control. The occurrence is notified. On the other hand, when “red 7 out of” is stopped during the freeze control, the absence of the special re-migration right is notified.

  Further, during the special period of the main special mode, “7 assortment” is stopped during freeze control, so that the addition is performed and the continuation of the special period is notified, and in particular, “7 assortment” is stopped. The degree of advantage of the addition is notified according to the type. On the other hand, when “7 losing” is stopped during the freeze control, it is notified that no extra is performed and the special period is not continued.

  Further, in the present embodiment, during the ART special mode, during the freeze control, even if a similar effect (special effect) in which “seven reds” are stopped on the winning line L1 is executed, it is not a special period. When it is a period (specific period), the transition to the special period is notified, and when it is the special period, the addition to the ART specific mode is notified.

  In the present embodiment, the effect of stopping the “7 sets of each” and “seven out of each” on the winning line L1 during the freeze control corresponds to the specific effect, and among the specific effects, the winning line L1 during the freeze control. An effect that stops “Red 7 assortment” corresponds to a special effect.

  In this embodiment, the control of the freeze effect that notifies the non-occurrence of the special re-transfer right is the first effect control, and the control of the freeze effect that notifies the occurrence of the special re-transfer right is the second effect control. The control of the freeze effect that notifies the occurrence of the transfer right and the shift of the special period corresponds to the third effect control.

  On the other hand, when the special period instruction command is input from the main control CPU 40a during the ART special mode, the sub control CPU 41a specifies the shift to the special period based on the special period instruction command. Then, when the shift to the special period is specified during the ART special mode, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to shift to the special period.

  When the stop mode instruction command is input from the main control CPU 40a during the ART special mode (special period), the sub control CPU 41a sub-controls the stop mode of the symbol specified by the stop mode instruction command. The data is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Then, when the symbol stop mode is “seven”, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the special medium addition determination table shown in FIG. 22 and adds to the ART specific mode based on the stop mode of each reel. The contents are determined, and the number of times of addition is added to the specific remaining G number.

  Further, when it is determined that the sub-control CPU 41a is to add to the ART specific mode during the special period of the ART special mode, the sub-control CPU 41a receives a command from the main control CPU 40a indicating that all of the reels are stopped for production. With the input as a trigger, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled to display the added content and the specific remaining G number.

Here, the special medium addition determination table will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 22, the special medium addition determination table is referred to when the stop mode of each reel is “seven” in the special period of the ART special mode, and is used to determine the addition contents for the ART specific mode. It is a table and is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In the special medium addition determination table, the stop mode of each reel stopped during freeze control, the number of additions to each specific remaining G number, and the determination probability for determining the number of additions to each specific remaining G number It is prescribed to correspond. Further, in the present embodiment, “seven red alignment”, “white seven alignment”, and “black seven alignment” are defined as stopping modes of each reel that is stopped during freeze control.

  As a specific example, a probability of 57015/65535 is “10” in the second specific remaining G number counter, a probability of 6554/65535 is “20” in the second specific remaining G counter, and a probability of 1311/65535. Thus, “30” is added to the second specific remaining G number counter, and “50” is added to the second specific remaining G number counter with a probability of 655/65535.

  Thus, in the special period of the ART special mode, the number of times of addition is determined based on the stop mode (specific effect type) to be stopped in the freeze effect. In particular, in the special period, when the stop mode of each reel is “seven”, it is specified that one or both of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number may be added. Has been. Specifically, it is defined that when “white 7 assortment” is stopped, it may be added to either the first specific remaining G number or the second specific remaining G number. In addition, it is defined that when “red 7 uniform” is stopped, it may be added to the second specific remaining G number and not added to the first specific remaining G number. It is defined that when “black 7 uniform” is stopped, it may be added to both the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number.

  In addition, when “red 7 uniform” is stopped, it is always added to the second specific remaining G number, and the second specific remaining G number is more likely than when “white 7 aligned” is stopped. It will be added. On the other hand, it is defined that when “white 7 aligned” is stopped, the number of additions is larger than when “red 7 aligned” is stopped. Further, in consideration of the probability of shifting to the ART special mode, the possibility is approximately twice as high in the ART second specific mode than in the ART first specific mode. For this reason, it can be said that “red 7 aligned” is a more advantageous stopping mode than “white 7 aligned”.

  In addition, when “red 7 uniform” is stopped, it is always added to the second specific remaining G number, whereas when “black 7 aligned” is stopped, the first specific remaining G number and the first specific residual G number are always increased. It will be added to both the 2 specific remaining G number. Further, it is stipulated that the total number of additions is larger when “black 7 aligned” is stopped than when “red 7 aligned” is stopped. Further, even when considering the probability of shifting to the ART special mode, it can be said that “black 7 aligned” is a more advantageous stopping mode than “red 7 aligned”.

Finally, with reference to FIG. 23, the addition with respect to each ART specific mode performed in various production | presentation states is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 23 (c), the ART specific mode itself may be added during the ART specific mode, but FIG. 23 (a), FIG. 23 (b), FIG. 23 (d) to FIG. As shown in (h), during the production state (preparation mode or ART special mode) other than the ART specific mode, the addition to the ART specific mode is performed. It should be noted that there is no extra for other than the ART specific mode.

  Further, since it is defined that the ART second specific mode is more easily controlled to the ART special mode than the ART first specific mode, generally, FIG. 23 (b) to FIG. 23 (e), FIG. As shown in FIG. 23 (g), it is defined that the ART first specific mode is more easily added than the ART second specific mode.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), during the preparation mode, it is defined that only the ART second specific mode is added, and the ART second specific mode is added more than the ART first specific mode. It becomes easy to be done.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23 (f), it is specified that when “Red 7 assortment” is stopped in the special period of the ART special mode, it is added only in the ART second specific mode. The second specific mode is more easily added than the ART first specific mode.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 23 (h), when “black 7 uniform” is stopped in the special period of the ART special mode, the same number of additions is added to both the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode. It is prescribed to be.

  Further, when the specific medium addition determination table shown in FIG. 9 is compared with the special medium addition determination table shown in FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 23 (d), the first addition based on the winning combination during the ART special mode is performed. When the lottery is performed, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), the addition is performed with a higher probability than when the extra lottery is performed based on the winning combination during the ART specific mode. Furthermore, many additional times are added.

  Furthermore, in the ART special mode, as shown in FIG. 23E, when the second extra lottery is performed based on the display color of the specific image during the ART special mode, or in FIGS. As shown in (h), when “seven assortment” is stopped within the special period of the ART special mode, an additional addition may be performed. For this reason, the ART specific mode is added so that the ART special mode is more advantageous than the ART specific mode.

  In this embodiment, the ART specific mode is in the specific state, the ART special mode is in the special state, the ART first specific mode is in the first specific state, the ART second specific mode is in the second specific state, the normal mode and The preparation mode corresponds to the normal gaming state, the normal mode corresponds to the normal state, and the preparation mode corresponds to the preparation state.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The ART specific mode includes an ART first specific mode that is difficult to control in the ART special mode and a second specific state that is easily controlled. In addition, the bell navigation effect is not executed on the main condition that both the first specific remaining G number in the ART first specific mode and the second specific remaining G number in the ART second specific mode are “0”. The process shifts to a high-definition RT effect, and shifts to the normal mode when the bell role is missed. In the ART special mode, when a winning condition is established in the extra lottery and a predetermined additional condition is satisfied, an extra is performed for at least one of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number. For this reason, when the predetermined additional condition is satisfied in the ART special mode, the interest to be added is the ART first specific mode or the ART second specific mode with a different degree of transition to the ART special mode. It is possible to improve the fun of the game by changing the feeling of expectation for a state advantageous to the player.

  (2) In the ART special mode, either one or both of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number can be added. Therefore, it is possible to give diversity to the addition control of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number, and to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation for a state advantageous to the player Can be made.

  (3) If both of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number are not “0”, the first second specific mode is executed preferentially over the first first specific mode, so that the first In the state where the specific remaining G number is not “0”, it is possible to execute the ART second specific mode which is easily controlled to the ART special mode. For this reason, it is possible to execute the ART second specific mode while leaving the execution opportunity of the ART first specific mode, to enhance the expectation for the transition to the ART special mode, and to a state advantageous to the player. It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation.

  (4) It is possible to add at least one of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number in the ART specific mode, and the ART special mode is more advantageous than the ART specific mode. Addition is performed. Therefore, the addition control of each specific remaining G number can be given diversity, and the expectation for the ART special mode that is advantageous over the ART specific mode can be enhanced, which is advantageous for the player. It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the sense of expectation for a particular state.

  (5) When the special remaining G number becomes “0”, the ART special mode can be shifted to the ART specific mode. For this reason, in the ART special mode, after at least one of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number is added, the ART special mode is directly shifted to the ART specific mode. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to give interest to the target added to the ART specific mode that is shifted to after the end of the ART special mode, and to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation for a state advantageous to the player. Can do.

  (6) Each specific remaining G number can be added on condition that a specific combination such as a cherry combination or a watermelon combination is won. For this reason, in the ART special mode and the ART specific mode, it is possible to enhance the expectation for winning the specific role, and it is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game.

  (7) In addition, with the main condition that both the first specific remaining G number in the ART first specific mode and the second specific remaining G number in the ART second specific mode are “0”, the bell navigation effect Is shifted to the high-accuracy RT effect that is not executed, and the mode is shifted to the normal mode by missing the bell role. Further, when a predetermined additional condition is satisfied in the preparation mode, the second specific remaining G number is added. For this reason, when a predetermined additional condition is established in the preparation mode, it is possible to give interest to the target to be added, and to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation for a state advantageous to the player Can be made.

  (8) In the ART special mode, it is possible to add a target for at least one of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number. On the other hand, in the preparation mode, it is possible to add on the second specific remaining G number counter. For this reason, in the preparation mode before shifting to the ART specific mode, when a predetermined additional condition is satisfied, the addition is performed for the second specific remaining G number of the ART second specific mode that is easily controlled to the ART special mode. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for the establishment of a predetermined additional condition, and to change the sense of expectation for a state advantageous to the player, thereby effectively improving the interest of the game.

  (9) A period in which the preparation mode can be added to the ART second specific mode as well as the transition period to the ART specific mode by continuing the stay in the preparation mode over a plurality of consecutive variable games. As a result, the sense of expectation can be raised, and the interest in the state advantageous to the player can be changed to effectively improve the interest of the game.

  (10) When the ART flag is set to a value indicating the occurrence of the right to transition to the ART mode, and the state is shifted to the ART specific mode, the first specific remaining G number is set regardless of the establishment of a predetermined additional condition in the preparation mode. The initial number is added to at least one of the second specific remaining G numbers. For this reason, in addition to the addition of the initial number of times, when the predetermined additional condition is satisfied in the preparation mode, the second specific remaining G number is further added. For this reason, it is possible to give interest to the target to be added, and it is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing a sense of expectation for a state advantageous to the player.

  (11) The first specific remaining G number counter is controlled so that a larger number of initial times is more easily added than the second specific remaining G number counter. For this reason, the initial number of times when shifting to the ART specific mode is not easily added to the second specific remaining G number. Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the expectation for establishment of the predetermined additional condition in the preparation mode, and to change the expectation for the state advantageous to the player, thereby effectively improving the interest of the game.

  (12) In particular, in the preparation mode, when the second specific remaining G number counter is added due to the establishment of a predetermined additional condition, the initial number of times and the addition due to the establishment of the predetermined additional condition are maintained while maintaining a game balance. It is possible to give interest to the establishment of the additional condition. Therefore, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the feeling of expectation for a state advantageous to the player.

  (13) When the cherry role or watermelon role is won in the ART special mode, the first extra lottery for determining whether or not to add the ART specific mode and the second extra lottery different from the first extra lottery Are performed individually. In addition, when the first extra lottery is won, the ART specific mode is added based on the first extra lottery, and when the second extra lottery is won, the ART specific mode is selected based on the second extra lottery. Control for performing the addition is performed individually. For this reason, it is possible to give diversity to the extra lottery for determining whether or not to add the ART specific mode, and it is possible to give interest to the lottery result of each extra lottery, which is advantageous for the player. The interest of the state can be changed and the interest of the game can be effectively improved.

  (14) Notification about the lottery result of the first extra lottery and notification about the lottery result of the second extra lottery are performed at different times. For this reason, diversity can be given to the notification time of the lottery result of each extra lottery, and the interest of the state advantageous to the player can be changed to effectively improve the interest of the game. Further, by performing the first extra lottery and the second extra lottery separately, it is possible to control the addition of the ART specific mode at each notification time.

  (15) In the ART specific mode, when the cherry or watermelon combination is won, an extra lottery based on the winning combination is performed in the same manner as the first extra lottery in the ART special mode. For this reason, even in the ART specific mode itself, an extra lottery for determining the addition of the ART specific mode is performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (16) In particular, in the ART special mode, the first extra lottery and the second extra lottery were performed individually, but in the ART specific mode, the extra lottery based on the winning combination is performed as in the first extra lottery. . Therefore, regarding the lottery result of the extra lottery, the ART special mode is more advantageous than the ART specific mode because the second extra lottery is performed, which is called normal mode, preparation mode, ART specific mode, and ART special mode. Thus, by providing gameability that can be shifted to an advantageous state in stages, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (17) The first lottery and the second lottery are performed so that the indicators for deriving the lottery result are different. For this reason, the lottery results can be varied in the first lottery and the second lottery, interest can be given to the lottery results of each extra lottery, and the expectation for a state advantageous to the player changes. It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game.

  (18) In the ART special mode, when the promotion condition for the extra level, which is the main condition for winning the special replay role, is established, the extra level is set to advance. Further, when the set extra level is advanced, the second extra lottery is performed so that the addition of the ART specific mode is more advantageous than when the advanced level is not advanced. For this reason, when the promotion condition for the extra level is established, the extra level is advanced, and it is advantageous to add the ART specific mode by the second extra lottery. It is possible to change the feeling of expectation for a state advantageous to the player and effectively improve the interest of the game.

  (19) In the ART special mode, unlike the promotion condition for the extra level, the extra level is set so that the extra level is retreated by the establishment of the demote condition for the extra level, which is the main condition for winning the normal replay role. For this reason, the added level may not only advance but also retreat, and the addition of the ART specific mode by the second added lottery is not advantageous due to the establishment of the demotion condition of the added level. Therefore, establishment of the demotion condition for the extra level, interest in the set extra level can be given, and the interest in the state advantageous to the player can be changed to effectively improve the interest of the game. .

  (20) By notifying the set extra level, the player can clearly specify the extra level, and it is possible to grasp whether or not the extra specific mode by the second extra lottery is advantageous. It is possible to give interest to the set extra level and to improve the interest of the game.

  (21) The first extra lottery is performed regardless of the set extra level. Therefore, the first extra lottery that is not related to the extra level and the second extra lottery that favors the extra of the ART specific mode according to the extra level are individually performed, and the variety of each extra lottery can be given. It is possible to change the feeling of expectation for a state advantageous to the player and effectively improve the interest of the game.

  (22) In the ART special mode, when the addition content for the ART specific mode is determined by the second extra lottery, the provisional decision has already been made on the condition that the MAXBET button 20 has not been operated within the operation valid period. The addition of the ART specific mode is controlled to be executable by the added contents. On the other hand, on the condition that it is determined that the MAXBET button 20 has been operated within the operation valid period, the ART specific mode is controlled to be executable with the redetermined addition contents. Therefore, depending on whether or not the MAXBET button 20 is operated within the operation valid period, the ART specific mode is added with the already determined addition contents, or the ART specific mode is added with the newly determined addition contents. The player can select whether to do it. Therefore, by providing an opportunity to participate in the game, it is possible to change the sense of expectation for a state advantageous to the player and effectively improve the interest of the game.

  (23) It is easier to determine the addition of the ART specific mode as advantageous when the operation is made a condition than when the MAXBET button 20 is not operated within the operation valid period. For this reason, by operating the MAXBET button 20 within the operation valid period, it becomes easy to redetermine the advantageous addition contents for the ART specific mode, and by providing the player with an opportunity to actively participate in the game, It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation for the advantageous state.

  (24) When the ART specific mode is controlled to be executable with the re-determined addition content, the addition content for the ART specific mode that has already been determined before the re-determination is invalidated. For this reason, the added content for the ART specific mode that has been determined before re-determination is not added to the added content for the ART-specific mode that has been re-determined. Is called. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the balance of the game by suppressing excessive addition of the ART specific mode, and to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation for a state advantageous to the player. it can.

  (25) The operation valid period is set when winning by the specific image lottery, and the operation valid period is not set when not winning by the specific image lottery. For this reason, when the operation valid period is reached, it is determined that the condition for determining the additional contents for the ART specific mode has been established, and the expectation for the addition of the ART specific mode can be enhanced. It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation of a state advantageous to the player.

  (26) After determining whether or not the additional content for the ART specific mode is determined again, the additional content to be actually added to the ART specific mode is notified. For this reason, it is possible for the player to clearly specify the content added to the ART specifying mode, and to change the feeling of expectation for a state advantageous to the player, thereby effectively improving the interest of the game.

  (27) In particular, after determining whether or not the additional content for the ART specific mode is determined again according to the operation of the MAXBET button 20 during the operation valid period, the additional content for the determined ART specific mode is notified. For this reason, the notification does not hesitate to operate the MAXBET button 20 during the operation valid period, and by providing an opportunity to participate in the game, the expectation for the state advantageous to the player is changed and the game is Interest can be improved effectively.

  (28) When the special remaining G number becomes “0”, the ART special mode can be shifted to the ART specific mode. In addition, an operation valid period is set in a variable game in which the ART special mode is ended when the ART special mode is won by the second extra lottery before the ART special mode ends. Therefore, when the ART special mode ends, there is a possibility of shifting from the ART special mode to the ART specific mode. In the variable game where the ART special mode ends, the operation valid period is set, and the addition contents for the ART specific mode are redetermined. It can be selected according to the operation of the MAXBET button 20 within the operation effective period. Therefore, the content of addition to the ART specific mode that may shift after the end of the ART special mode can be changed by the operation of the MAXBET button 20 in the operation valid period in the variable game in which the ART special mode ends, which is advantageous for the player. It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the sense of expectation for a particular state.

(29) When the operation valid period is set, an image prompting the operation of the MAXBET button 20 is displayed, so that the operation valid period can be easily specified.
(30) In the ART special mode, the second extra lottery is performed based on the winning combination, and when the second extra lottery is won, the extra content for the ART specific mode is determined. For this reason, interest in the winning combination can be given, and the interest in the state advantageous to the player can be changed to effectively improve the interest of the game.

  (31) Before determining whether or not the additional content for the ART specific mode is determined again, the specific image is displayed in a display color that suggests the degree of advantage of the additional content for the ART specific mode that has already been determined. It is possible to predict the degree of advantage of the added content with respect to the ART specific mode that has already been determined by displaying the specific image, and to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the expectation for the state advantageous to the player it can.

  (32) In the ART special mode, the condition for transition to the special period is established, and the specific effect is executed a predetermined number of times during the freeze control during which freeze control is stopped during the special period. It is controlled so that it can be added to the ART specific mode according to the type of the specific effect. For this reason, the expectation with respect to the kind of specific production which can be performed in a special period can be raised, the expectation with respect to a state advantageous to a player can be changed, and the interest of a game can be improved effectively.

  (33) Depending on the type of the specific effect, control is performed so that the specific effect can be executed continuously during the special period. For this reason, depending on the type of the specific effect to be executed, it is possible to specify whether or not the execution of the specific effect is continued, as well as the control for adding the ART specific mode. For this reason, the expectation with respect to the kind of specific production which can be performed in a special period can be raised, the expectation with respect to a state advantageous to a player can be changed, and the interest of a game can be improved effectively.

  (34) The condition for shifting to the special period is established on condition that a special re-transfer right to re-transfer to the main special mode is generated. Further, in the first effect control, when the special re-transfer right does not occur, the condition for shifting to the special period is not established and the specific effect in the special period is not executed. In the second effect control, when the special re-transfer right is generated, the specific effect is not executed without shifting to the special period. In the third effect control, when the special re-transfer right is generated, the special period transfer condition is established and the special period is transferred to the special period. Since these first to third effect controls can be executed, a special re-transfer right is generated by executing a specific effect during a special period, and further an ART specific mode can be added. On the other hand, even if it does not shift to the special period, a special re-transfer right may occur. In this way, the transition to the special period and the expectation for the specific performance in the special period can be enhanced, and the excitement of the game can be effectively improved by changing the expectation for the state advantageous to the player. .

  (35) The special effect includes a special effect in which the “red 7 uniform” is stopped so that the condition for transition to the special period can be satisfied when executed in a specific period that is not a special period in the ART special mode. When a special effect is executed during the special period, it is possible to add an ART specific mode. For this reason, when the special effect is executed among the specific effects, the player may be in an advantageous state, but the meaning of the special effect can be made different depending on whether or not it is the special period. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the expectation for whether or not the type of the specific effect to be executed is a special effect, and to be interested in whether or not it is a special period, and to expect an advantageous state for the player. It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the game.

  (36) Conventionally, as an effect image to be displayed during stagnation control, an effect image including various types of information has been considered, but other methods for improving the interest during stagnation control can be considered. For this reason, there is room for improvement in considering the interest during stagnation control. Therefore, by configuring as in the present embodiment, a specific effect can be executed a predetermined number of times during freeze control during the special period of the ART special mode, and the ART specific mode can be added according to the type of the specific effect. It becomes. For this reason, the expectation with respect to the kind of specific production which can be performed in a special period can be raised, the expectation with respect to a state advantageous to a player can be changed, and the interest of a game can be improved effectively.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
-In the above embodiment, the transition of the gaming state and the production state is determined in response to the start of the next variation game.

  In the above embodiment, the game state instruction command for instructing the game state and the effect state instruction command for instructing the effect state are output from the main control CPU 40a to the sub control CPU 41a at the start of the next variable game. However, it is not limited to this. For example, a game state instruction command or an effect state instruction command may be output from the main control CPU 40a to the sub control CPU 41a in response to the end of the variable game. Further, for example, during the freeze control after the start of the next variable game, a game state instruction command or an effect state instruction command may be output from the main control CPU 40a to the sub control CPU 41a.

  In the above embodiment, the ART second specific mode is controlled with priority over the ART first specific mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the ART first specific mode is controlled with priority over the ART second specific mode. May be. Further, for example, the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode may be controlled alternately for each predetermined variation game. Further, for example, it may be determined by lottery which one of the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode is controlled.

  In the above embodiment, when the special remaining G number becomes “0”, the ART special mode is shifted to either the ART specific mode or the high-accuracy RT effect, but not limited to this, for example, a predetermined lottery In the case of winning, the ART special mode may be shifted to either the ART specific mode or the high-definition RT effect. Further, for example, instead of shifting from the ART special mode to the ART specific mode, the mode may be shifted to another mode such as a highly accurate RT effect or a normal mode.

  In the above embodiment, when shifting from the normal mode to the ART specific mode via the preparation mode, the preparation mode is stayed over at least a plurality of variable games. It is also possible to stay in the preparation mode in the first variation game and then shift to the ART specific mode in the variation game.

  In the above embodiment, the ART specific mode includes the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if three or more types of modes are included, 1 It may consist of different types of modes.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the addition is performed during the preparation mode, it is possible to add the second specific remaining G number, but it is specified not to add the second specific remaining G number. For example, you may prescribe | regulate so that it may add only to the 2nd specific remaining G number. Further, for example, it may be possible to add both the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number.

  In the above embodiment, the first specific remaining G number is defined to be easier to add than the second specific remaining G number during the transition from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode. For example, the second specified remaining G number may be defined such that the initial number of times becomes easier to add than the first specified remaining G number. Further, for example, it may be defined that the initial number of times is added in the same way for the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number.

  In the above embodiment, when shifting from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode, the initial number is added to one of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number, and the initial number is added to the other Although not limited to this, for example, the initial number of times may be added to both the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number. Further, for example, it may not be added to either the first specific remaining G number or the second specific remaining G number. Further, for example, the determination probability of the initial number of times may be made different depending on the number of variable games executed until the number of released games is reached.

  In the above embodiment, the initial number is determined when shifting from the preparation mode to the ART specific mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the initial number is determined when shifting from the normal mode to the preparation mode. Also good. That is, it is only necessary to determine the initial number of times from the transition to the preparation mode to the transition to the ART specific mode, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

  -In the above embodiment, when the addition is performed during the ART specific mode and the ART special mode, it is possible to add either one or both of the first specific remaining G number and the second specific remaining G number. Not limited to this, for example, it may be possible to add either the first specific remaining G number or the second specific remaining G number.

  In the above-described embodiment, control is performed so as to allow at least one of the ART specific modes to be added during the preparation mode, during the ART specific mode, during the ART special mode, and during the special period of the ART special mode, but is not limited thereto. . For example, control may be performed so that no extra is performed in any of these performance states, or control may be performed so as to be able to be added in other than these performance states. In addition, by comparing these performance states, the degree of advantage regarding the addition for the ART specific mode may be reversed or the same. Further, as the degree of advantage for the extra, the probability of winning the extra lottery, the number of extras, etc. may be comprehensively advantageous. Further, for example, it may be controlled so that it can be added even when the target is other than the ART specific mode such as the ART special mode.

  In the above embodiment, the cherry role and the watermelon role are adopted as the specific role, but not limited to this, for example, a special replay role, a cherry role and a watermelon role may be adopted, and an arbitrary small role is adopted. Just do it.

In the above embodiment, the predetermined extra lottery is performed based on the winning combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the predetermined additional lottery may be performed regardless of the winning combination.
In the above embodiment, the normal replay role is adopted as the normal role, the special replay role is adopted as the special role, but not limited thereto, for example, the bell role is the normal role, and the replay role is the special role, respectively. It may be adopted.

  In the above embodiment, when the specific image lottery is won and the specific image is displayed while the ART special mode is continued, the operation effective period is set. When the specific image is not displayed, the operation effective period is set. Is not set, but is not limited to this. For example, when the specific image lottery is won and the specific image is displayed while the ART special mode is continued, the operation effective period may be set with a predetermined probability, and the operation effective period may not be set. Further, for example, even if the specific image lottery is not won and the specific image is not displayed while the ART special mode is continued, the operation valid period may be set with a predetermined probability. Further, for example, the operation valid period may be set with a predetermined probability regardless of whether or not the lottery result of the specific image lottery or the specific image is displayed or not displayed during the continuation of the ART special mode.

  In the above embodiment, when the specific image lottery is won and the specific image is displayed during the continuation of the ART special mode, the operation valid period is set with the end of the ART special mode. . For example, even if the operation valid period is set in the final variable game in the ART special mode when the ART special mode ends, the operation valid period is set in the standby state after the final variable game in the ART special mode is completed. May be. Further, for example, an operation valid period may be set for each predetermined number of variable games (for example, each set) in the ART special mode. For example, even if it is not the final variation game in the ART special mode, it may be a variation game before that if the ART special mode is continued, and the specific image lottery is won and the specific image is displayed. A valid operation period may be set for each variable game. In addition, for example, the operation valid period may be set when winning by lottery.

  In the above embodiment, when the specific image lottery is won and the specific image is displayed while the ART special mode is continued, the second extra lottery is performed based on the display color of the specific image, and the display color of the specific image However, this is not a limitation. For example, when the specific image lottery is won while the ART special mode is continued, the second extra lottery is performed, and the display color of the specific image is determined based on the lottery result of the second extra lottery, and the display color of the specific image May suggest an additional degree of advantage. Further, the degree of advantage of the addition may not be suggested by the display color of the specific image.

  In the above embodiment, it is defined that when the MAXBET button 20 is operated during the operation effective period set when the ART special mode is ended, the extra addition is performed more advantageously than when the MAXBET button 20 is not operated. Not limited to. For example, when the MAXBET button 20 is not operated, it may be specified that the addition is performed more advantageously than when it is operated. These may be combined depending on the display color of the specific image. Specifically, it is specified that when the gold specific image is displayed, the addition is more easily performed when the MAXBET button 20 is operated than when the silver specific image is displayed. May be. In addition, when the specific image of rainbow color is displayed, it is determined that the addition is advantageously performed when the MAXBET button 20 is operated, but the specific image of silver or gold is displayed. In such a case, it may not be determined that the addition is advantageously performed when the MAXBET button 20 is operated. In addition, the type of the specific image is different in display color, but is not limited to this, and for example, the display shape may be different without changing the display color.

  In the above embodiment, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated during the operation valid period set when the ART special mode ends, the added content already determined before re-determination is invalidated. Not limited to this, for example, the addition content that has been determined before re-determination may be validated, and the addition content that has been re-determined may be added.

  In the above embodiment, after the MAXBET button 20 is operated during the operation effective period, the re-determined addition content is notified, and when the operation effective period ends without the MAXBET button 20 being operated, The addition content that has already been determined has been notified, but is not limited thereto. For example, after the MAXBET button 20 is operated during the operation valid period, the added content that has already been determined may be notified together with the newly determined additional content. That is, in the case of adding with the re-determined addition contents, after the re-determination of the addition contents is confirmed, the addition contents determined before the re-determination may be notified. As a result, after the MAXBET button 20 is already operated and the redetermination of the added content is confirmed, the added content invalidated by the operation can be clearly identified by the player, and an expectation for a state advantageous to the player It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the game by changing the feeling. In addition, in the case of adding the contents added before re-determination, after the determination before re-determination is confirmed, it should be re-determined together with the addition contents determined before re-determination. The contents of the addition may be notified.

  -In the above embodiment, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated during the operation valid period, it can be added with the re-determined additional contents, and when the operation valid period ends without being operated, it has already been determined. Although it is possible to add an additional content, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the MAXBET button 20 is operated during the operation valid period, it can be added with the already determined additional contents, and when the operation effective period ends without being operated, it is added with the newly determined additional contents. It may be possible.

  In the above-described embodiment, the notification of the extra level is notified by the position where the movable body K is arranged. However, the notification is not limited thereto, and other notification means such as the effect display device 14, the speaker Sp, and the decoration lamp La may be provided. It may be adopted or a combination thereof.

  -In the above embodiment, the winning combination is made different between the promotion level promotion condition and the demotion condition. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if the winning combination is the same, the promotion condition and the demotion condition are not satisfied at the same time. You may control to. Further, for example, the promotion condition and the demoting condition may be controlled so as not to be satisfied at the same time regardless of the winning combination.

  In the above embodiment, the second extra lottery is performed based on the extra level, and the first extra lottery is performed regardless of the extra level. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first extra lottery is based on the extra level. And the second extra lottery may be performed. For example, any extra lottery may be performed regardless of the extra level.

  In the above embodiment, in the ART special mode, the addition contents determined for each winning variation game are notified about the lottery result of the first extra lottery, and the ART special mode is terminated for the lottery result of the second extra lottery. Along with this, the added contents determined for each variable game and the total of the added contents are notified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, regarding the lottery result of the second extra lottery, the extra content determined for each winning variation game may be notified. Further, for example, regarding the lottery result of the first extra lottery, the extra content determined for each variable game and the sum of the extra content may be notified as the ART special mode ends.

  In the above embodiment, the lottery result of the first extra lottery in the ART special mode is notified for each of the variable games won in the lottery with the end of the ART special mode. Not limited to this. For example, another timing may be used as long as each notification is different (time), and the same timing may be used.

  In the above embodiment, in the ART special mode, the first extra lottery based on the winning combination and indirectly based on the winning combination and the additional level, but based on the type of the displayed specific image (executed contents) Although a lottery with 2 additions was executed, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second extra lottery may be executed regardless of the winning combination. That is, the element itself for deriving the lottery result may be different. In addition, for example, although based directly on the winning combination, a second extra lottery in which the winning probability and the number of extra prizes are different from the first extra lottery may be executed. That is, even if the elements for deriving the lottery result are the same, the control process until the lottery result and the index for deriving the lottery result are derived in the first extra lottery and the second extra lottery, respectively. May be different. In addition, for example, the first addition lottery and the second addition lottery may be executed in which the winning probability and the number of additions are the same, but the stored table and the random numbers used for the lottery are different. The random numbers used for the lottery may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, in the ART specific mode, the extra lottery is performed based on the winning combination as in the first extra lottery, but not limited to this, the display of the specific image as in the second extra lottery (effect contents) A lottery may be performed based on the above.

  In the above embodiment, the first extra lottery in the ART special mode is adopted as the first lottery and the special lottery, and the second extra lottery in the ART special mode is adopted as the second lottery and the specific lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if it is configured such that the extra lottery based on the production contents during the special period of the ART special mode is performed based on the winning of the specific role, it may be adopted for each lottery. In other words, when similar special lottery conditions are satisfied, a plurality of series of extra lotteries may be individually performed and controlled individually, and one type of extra lottery may be performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, when “red 7 assortment” is stopped during freeze control in the main specific mode, the process shifts to the main special mode, and when “red 7 assortment” is stopped during freeze control in the main special mode. , Special remigration rights have been generated, but are not limited to this. For example, the above control may be performed when “white 7 aligned” and “black 7 aligned” are stopped in addition to “red 7 aligned” during freeze control in each effect state. Further, for example, the above-described control may be performed even if “seven red 7” is not stopped during the freeze control in each effect state.

  -In the above-described embodiment, when the “red 7 assortment” is stopped during the freeze control in the main special mode, the special re-transfer right is generated once. May be generated multiple times. In this case, “double red 7 aligned” in which “red 7” is aligned on two symbol stop lines may be stopped.

  In the above embodiment, when a special re-transfer right is generated, control is performed so that the re-transfer to the ART special mode is performed between two consecutive fluctuating games (so-called “1G ream”). Instead, for example, control may be performed so as to re-enter the ART special mode between one variation game (so-called “0G ream”). That is, it is preferable to extend the control of the ART special mode regardless of whether or not the stay of the ART special mode itself is continued (extended).

  -In the above embodiment, when "7" is stopped during freeze control in the special period, the continuation of the special period is confirmed, but not limited to this, for example, the continuation of the special period may not be confirmed. A combination of these may also be used. For example, if “7 red alignment” and “Black 7 alignment” are stopped during freeze control during the special period, the continuation of the special period is confirmed. If “White 7 alignment” is stopped, the special period continues. It does not have to be confirmed. In addition, for example, even if “out of 7” is stopped during the freeze control during the special period, the special period may be continued, or a combination thereof may be used. For example, if “out of white 7” is stopped during freeze control in the special period, the non-continuation of the special period is confirmed, and if “out of red 7” and “out of black 7” are stopped, The continuation need not be confirmed.

  In the above embodiment, the stop mode of each reel is determined at the time of transition to the special period, and each time “7 assortment” is stopped on production, the stop mode of each reel is determined repeatedly. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, all of the stop modes of each reel may be determined at a time when shifting to the special period.

  In the above embodiment, an effect in which “7 completes” and “7 off” are stopped as a specific effect during a freeze controlled when triggered by the start of a variable game is not limited to this. An effect in which “7 completes” and “7 off” are stopped during the freeze controlled by the third stop operation in the game may be adopted as the specific effect. For example, an effect that is not under freeze control may be employed as the specific effect. Further, as the effect execution means for executing the specific effect, the same drum unit 13 as the symbol display means for displaying the symbols in each reel is adopted, but not limited to this, for example, the effect display device 14, the speaker Sp, Other notification means such as a decorative lamp La may be employed, or a combination thereof.

  In the above embodiment, when the normal replay role is won while the ART special mode is being continued, when the lottery is won, the special period is entered, but this is not restrictive. For example, when the normal replay combination is won during the continuation of the ART special mode, the special period may be shifted to the end of the ART special mode on condition that the lottery is won. Further, for example, even if the normal replay role is not won during the continuation of the ART special mode, the special period may be shifted on condition that the lottery is won.

  In the above embodiment, in the main normal mode or the main specific mode, depending on whether or not the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation corresponding to the selected normal replay role Although it has been determined whether or not to change the state, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the production state may be changed regardless of the coincidence of the pressing order of the stop operation.

  In the above embodiment, in the main special mode, the freeze control is performed regardless of whether or not the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons matches the pressing order of the specific stop operation corresponding to the selected normal replay combination. Although it was performed, it is not restricted to this, For example, freeze control may be performed on condition that the pushing order of stop operation corresponds.

  In the above embodiment, the Lip Navi effect is not executed in the ART special mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the Lip Navi effect may be executed with a predetermined probability, or the Lip Navi effect may be always executed. Further, for example, when it is determined that the freeze control is performed, the Lip Navi effect may be executed.

  In the above embodiment, the Lip Navi effect is not executed in the ART first specific mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the execution probability of the Lip Navi effect is lower than the ART second specific mode, May be executed.

  In the above embodiment, the ART second specific mode is shifted to the ART special mode with a higher probability than the ART first specific mode due to the execution probability of the Lip Navi effect, but this is not restrictive. For example, even if the execution probability of the Lip Navi effect is defined in the same manner, the probability that the transition to the ART special mode itself is determined is higher in the ART second specific mode than in the ART first specific mode. May be. For example, even if the ART first specific mode and the ART second specific mode are shifted to the ART special mode with the same probability, the ART second specific mode stays in the ART special mode more than the ART first specific mode. You may prescribe | regulate so that an upper limit frequency may increase. In other words, it is only necessary that the ART second specific mode is defined so as to be more easily controlled to the ART special mode than the ART first specific mode.

  In the above embodiment, the gaming state is classified into low probability RT games, high probability RT games, and BN games, but is not limited to this, for example, classified into three or more types of RT games with different winning probabilities May be. In addition, for example, unlike a BN game, a CT game with different winning combination determination control and stop control of each reel may be included. In addition, BN games that cannot increase the number of medals owned by the player have been adopted. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, BN games and CT games that can increase the number of medals owned by the player are adopted. Also good. Of course, there is no need for BN games or CT games.

  In the above embodiment, the main control board 40 and the sub control board 41 are provided with various functions. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the function of the main control board 40 may be provided in the sub control board 41. In addition, the main control board 40 may have the function of the sub control board 41. As a specific example, although a part of the production state is managed by the main control board 40 and the whole production state is managed by the sub-control board 41, the whole production state is managed by the main control board 40. The production state may not be managed by the main control board 40. Further, although the special remaining G number is managed by the main control board 40, it may be managed by the sub control board 41. Further, although the specific remaining G number is managed by the sub control board 41, it may be managed by the main control board 40. Further, although various navigation effects are determined on the sub-control board 41, various navigation effects may be determined on the main control board 40.

  In the above embodiment, the sub control board 41 may not be provided. In this case, the main control board 40 controls means such as the effect display device 14, the speaker Sp, and the decorative lamp La.
