Here, the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2 stored in the main control ROM 40b shown in FIG. 5 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, and the winning combination determination table T2 is associated with the high probability RT game.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, the winning probabilities of the cherry, watermelon, bell, and replay roles based on the winning information group are defined. 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). ing.

  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.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the winning probability of the replay role is the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the in-progress replay role in the low probability RT game (winning role determination table T1). And the winning probability of each of the winning information groups in which overlapping winnings of the normal replay combination are associated with each other. In addition, the rush overlap replay group 1 to the rush overlap replay group 4 are set in the winning information group in which the overlapping winnings of the rush replay role and the normal replay role are associated with each other.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5C, the winning probability of the replay role is determined based on the winning information group in which the normal replay role (unquestioned) is associated with the special replay role in the high probability RT game (winning role determination table T2). And the winning probability of each of the winning information groups in which overlapping winnings of the normal replay combination are associated with each other. In addition, the special overlap replay group 1 to the special overlap replay group 6 are set in the winning information group in which the overlap winning of the special replay combination and the normal replay combination is associated.

  In addition, 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 3 are set in the winning information group for the bell role.

  In the following description, the phrase “winning a normal replay role” means winning a winning information group associated with a normal replay role (unquestioned). In addition, in the case of “winning of the rush replay role”, it means winning of the rush duplication replay group 1 to the rush duplication replay group 4. The term “special replay winning” means winning of the special overlapping replay group 1 to the special overlapping replay group 6. In addition, the phrase “winning of the bell role” means winning of the bell group 1 to the bell group 3. 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. In addition, the “rush entry award” means a stop display of a rush stop based on a rush replay role associated with each rush duplication replay group. The term “special prize” means a stop display of a special stop eye based on a special replay combination associated with each special overlapping replay group.

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 based on a prize-type winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when the credit upper limit number (in this embodiment, “50 (sheets)”) is exceeded. Thus, each time a drive signal is output, control is performed so that one award medal is paid out. 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 performed when the bet number of 3 bets is set.

  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.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the operation of the start lever 22 by the player is detected (after performing a predetermined process such as a role lottery), and displays the lottery result of the role lottery. The illustrated variable game start command 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 board 41 (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, it outputs various reel stop commands to the sub control CPU 41a. The various reel stop commands of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are the operation status by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, that is, which stop button is operated, the stop position of each reel, and the stop button is operated. The sub-control board 41 (sub-control CPU 41a) is made aware of the pressed order.

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. In this way, the main control CPU 40a that performs stop control of each reel based on the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R functions as a derivation control means.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry stop eye when the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. On the other hand, if the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry spilling stop eye. In this case, the cherry role is missed.

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, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye when the player presses the stop operation when the player plays the bell role. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell-spilling stop eye when the player's stop operation is not in the pushing order to stop the bell stop eye when the bell role is won. In this case, a missed bell role is generated.

  In addition, when the special replay role is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the special stop eye when the stop order of the stop operation by the player is the push order for stopping the special stop eye. On the other hand, when the special replay combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the normal stop eye if the stop order of the stop operation by the player is not the stop order for stopping the special stop eye.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the rush stop eye when the push order of the stop operation by the player is the push order to stop the rush stop eye when the rush replay role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the normal stop eye when the order of the stop operation by the player is not the stop order for stopping the rush stop eye when the rush replay role is won. The main control CPU 40a stops and displays the normal stop eye regardless of the stop operation by the player when the normal replay combination (unquestioned) is won.

  Then, any winning combination of the small combination is not determined, that is, when the extraordinary combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stoppage stop regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  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. Further, 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 board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This winning instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to recognize the winning combination of the winning combination instructed by the variable game start command.

  Specifically, when determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. The main control CPU 40a performs control so as not to pay out one or more prize medals when determining whether or not to miss the cherry role when determining the winning of the cherry role.

Further, when determining the winning of the watermelon combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out six award medals.
When determining the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out 12 award medals. The main control CPU 40a performs control so as not to pay out one or more prize medals when determining whether or not to miss the bell role when determining the winning of the bell role. Furthermore, when determining the winning of the bell role, control regarding the transition of the gaming 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, when determining a rush prize, control regarding the transition of the game state mentioned later is performed.

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. In order to cope with this, a bell spilling push order for stopping and displaying a bell spill stop eye of a dedicated stop eye (for example, [Bell Bell Replay] etc.) 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.

  In the bell group 1 to the bell group 3, if the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are the first, the stop operation regardless of the subsequent order is determined in the pressing order for the bell winning prize, and other than the stop buttons are the first. Then, the stop operation regardless of the subsequent order is determined in the pressing order for bell spilling. For this reason, in the bell group 1 to the bell group 3, the pressing order of “3 options” based on the stop button that is stopped first is determined.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the replay combination will be described.
When the normal replay combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the normal stop eye according to the normal winning stop mode of [Replay / Replay / Replay] on the winning line regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Further, in the present embodiment, the control performed based on the pressing order of operating the three stop buttons is different when the replay winning combination is won among the winning replay winning combinations.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the present embodiment, a specific entry for stopping and displaying a rush stop eye (shown as “rush” in FIG. 5B) for each rush overlap replay group. The order of pushing for the rush prize to be a stop operation is respectively determined. Further, in order to correspond to this, a normal pressing order that is a normal stop operation for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each rush overlap replay group.

  When the stop operation by the player coincides with a specific stop operation, the main control CPU 40a enters the stop line according to the stop mode of the rush-in prize according to the push order for the rush-in prize based on the winning of the rush replay role. Make your eyes stop. The entry stop eye due to the entry mode of the entry prize can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  On the other hand, when the stop operation by the player coincides with the normal stop operation because the main control CPU 40a becomes the normal push order based on the winning of the rush replay role, The stop eye is stopped and displayed. The normal stop eye according to the normal winning stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  For example, in the rush overlap replay group 1, a push order for a rush entry of [middle left and right] is defined, and a normal push order other than [middle left and right] is defined. In addition, in the rush overlap replay group 1 to the rush overlap replay group 4, regardless of the type of winning information group, the normal push order in which [left] is the first is determined, and [left] is the first. The order of entry for entry prizes is not defined. For this reason, in the rush overlap replay group 1 to the rush overlap replay group 4, the push order of “no left 4 choices” that does not exist for the rush prize, in which [left] is the first, is determined. In addition, when the rush duplication replay group is won, the replay is given to the player in the same way regardless of the combination of symbols that are stopped on the winning line. Will be.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, in the present embodiment, a specific stop for stopping and displaying the rush stop eye (shown as “special” in FIG. 5C) for each special overlapping replay group. The push order for special winning prizes to be operated is determined respectively. Further, in order to cope with this, a normal push order for a normal stop operation for stopping and displaying the normal stop eye is determined for each special overlap replay group.

  When the stop operation by the player coincides with the specific stop operation, the main control CPU 40a performs the special stop by the special winning stop mode when the stop operation by the player coincides with the specific stop operation. Make your eyes stop. The special stop eye due to this special winning stop mode 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 is in the normal pushing order based on the winning of the special replay role, so that when the stop operation by the player coincides with the normal stop operation, the normal winning stop mode that becomes the winning line The normal stop eye is displayed. The normal stop eye according to the normal winning stop mode can be stopped and displayed regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

  For example, the special overlap replay group 1 has a [left middle right] push order for a rush entry and a normal push order other than [left middle right]. For this reason, in the special overlap replay group 1 to the special overlap replay group 6, the pressing order of “6 options” based on all stop buttons to be stopped is determined.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the mode of transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on a variable game according to the gaming state will be described.
The main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the controlled gaming state to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) at the start of the variable game and before the output of the variable game start command. This state instruction command is a command output to the sub control CPU 41a for each variable game, and allows the sub control CPU 41a to grasp the gaming state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  As shown in FIG. 6, during the control of the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a starts with the next floating game when the rush replay role is won and the rush prize is generated by the push order for the rush prize. Transition (rush) into RT games. That is, in the low-probability RT game, when the rush replay combination is won and the rush stop eye that becomes the rush-in prize is stopped and displayed, the transition condition to the high-probability RT game is satisfied. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a continues the low-probability RT game from the next variable game without satisfying the transition condition to the high-probability RT game if the rush-in prize is not entered during the control of the low-probability RT game.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a shifts from the next variable game to the low-probability RT game when the bell role is won and the bell spills during the control of the high-probability RT game. In other words, in the high probability RT game, when the bell spill stop eye that becomes a bell spill is won and displayed, the transition condition to the low probability RT game is satisfied. On the other hand, when the bell spillage is not generated during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a continues the high probability RT game from the next variation game without satisfying the transition condition to the low probability RT game.

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 each command such as a variable game start command or a winning instruction command, the display contents of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker Sp 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. 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 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 to cause various effects each time a variable game start command or various reel stop commands are input.

  The sub-control CPU 41a manages the effect state of the effect display device 14 according to the game state specified by the state instruction command. The effect states in this embodiment are classified into a plurality of types. The sub-control CPU 41a selects image display data (particularly background image data) corresponding to an effect state that can be specified from the effect information, and the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. Controls the display content (display image).

  Specifically, in the effect state, there is a normal mode that is performed in a situation where the gaming state is a low-probability RT game and the right to shift to the ART 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 low-probability lottery state, and a rush lip navigation effect that assists (assists) the rush prize by notifying a specific stop operation corresponding to the winning rush replay role, This is a state in which a bell navigation effect for assisting (assisting) a bell winning by notifying a specific stop operation corresponding to the played bell combination is not performed.

  Further, the effect state includes a preparation mode that is performed in a situation where the gaming state is a low-probability 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 low-probability lottery state as in the normal mode, while the rush lip navigation effect and the bell navigation effect are performed.

  Further, the effect state includes an ART 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 specific mode. This ART specific mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state and a bell navigation effect is performed. In addition, this ART specific mode is a state in which a special Lip Navi effect that assists (assists) a special prize by notifying a specific stop operation corresponding to the selected special replay combination with a predetermined probability.

  In addition, the effect state includes an extra mode that is performed when the gaming state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays a display image for the addition mode. This extra mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state, a bell navigation effect is performed, and a rep navigation effect is not performed. Further, in this extra mode, every time a variable game is performed, control is performed to increase the upper limit number of variable games staying in the ART specific mode. In the present embodiment, the term “ART mode” means “ART specific mode” and “addition mode” collectively.

  Further, the effect state includes a high probability RT effect that is performed when the game state is a high probability RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 is in a state where the winning probability of the replay role is a high-probability lottery state and various lip navigation effects and bell navigation effects are not performed.

  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 effect flag, and the display contents of the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. (Display image) is controlled. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a grasps (manages) the controlled effect state by setting an effect flag indicating the type of effect state in the sub-control RAM 41c.

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 effect flag indicating the normal mode). During the preparation mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned), a rush replay combination, and a normal replay combination that wins duplicated with the rush replay combination and winning can occur.

  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 rush rep navigation effect or the bell navigation effect when the winning of the rush 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 entry lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, the total is about 1/300) based on the winning combination. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a generates a right to shift to the ART mode when winning in the ART entry lottery. On the other hand, if the sub-control CPU 41a does not win in the ART entry lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a does not generate the right to shift to the ART mode.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of released games (so-called “ceiling game number”) when the ART specific mode, the addition mode, and the high-accuracy 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. In the present embodiment, the number of released games is determined even when the setting value indicating the degree of advantage of the gaming machine itself (so-called “machine discount”) is changed, or when the RAM is cleared. It becomes.

  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.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode in the ART flag, the sub-control CPU 41a notifies the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. To prepare mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an 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 determines that the stop operation by the player does not satisfy the predetermined operation conditions unless the stop button 23L is operated first in each variable game in the normal mode. , Give a penalty that would be disadvantageous for the player. For example, as a penalty, control is performed so that the ART rush lottery is not performed, or the ART rush lottery is performed but is not always won. Further, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the stop button 23L cannot be stopped and displayed by the first stop operation of the stop button 23L, that is, the push order in which the stop button 23L is first stopped is set as the push order for the rush entry prize. Not. As a result, during normal mode, if the ART flag is set to a value indicating that the right to transition to ART mode has not occurred, transition to ART mode, that is, transition to high-definition RT game is not expected. Become.

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). During the preparation mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned), a rush replay combination, and a normal replay combination that wins duplicated with the rush replay combination and winning can occur.

  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, an effect is performed so as to assist the bell winning, and the player wins a bell when the player performs a game according to the bell navigation effect.

  The effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side and performs a bell navigation effect in a manner in which a number “1” is attached to one of the three images. For example, in the case of the bell group 2, when “1” is attached to the middle image among the three images, the player is made to know that the stop button 23C should be stopped first.

  Also, the sub-control CPU 41a, when a winning entry of a rush replay role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop buttons among the small roles is instructed, a rush lip navigation effect that assists the rush prize with the start of the variable game The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that For this reason, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the rush-in prize, and a rush-in prize is generated when the player plays the game according to the rush-up navigation effect.

  In the effect display device 14, three images imitating the stop button are displayed side by side, and the rush lip navigator effect is performed in such a manner that the numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” are attached to each. For example, in the case of the rush overlap replay 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. In this case, the player is made aware that the stop operation should be performed in the pressing order of “middle left and right”.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the ART specific mode from the next variable game when entering the winning prize during the preparation mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the ART specific mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from the low probability RT game to the high probability RT game.

  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.

Next, control related to the ART specific mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning of the winning combination during the ART specific mode (while setting the effect flag indicating the ART specific mode). During the ART specific mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned), a special replay combination, and a normal replay combination that wins a duplicate with the special replay combination and winning can occur.

  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, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the normal mode when the bell combination is missed during the ART specific mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from a high-probability RT game to a low-probability RT game.

  Further, when starting the control in the ART specific mode, the sub control CPU 41a stores a value indicating the upper limit number of times (initial number) of the variable game in the ART specific mode in the remaining G number allocated to the sub control RAM 41c. In the present embodiment, “30” is defined as the initial number of times. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the remaining G number every time the variable game is performed during the ART specific mode.

  Further, when the remaining G number becomes “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the next variable game to the high-definition RT effect. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating a highly accurate RT effect. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time is a high-precision RT game. 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 mode to the high-accuracy RT effect.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to control the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to display the remaining G number during the ART specifying mode. 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.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a special Lip Navi lottery for determining whether or not to execute a special Lip Navi effect when a special replay winning combination is instructed during the ART specific mode. This special Lip Navi lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so as to have a predetermined winning probability (for example, about 1/10). When the sub-control CPU 41a is won in this special Lip Navi lottery, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that a special Lip Navi effect assisting the special winning is performed with the start of the variable game. Therefore, during the ART specific mode, an effect is performed so as to assist the special winning, and a special winning occurs when the player plays the game according to the special Lip Navi effect.

  The effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side, and performs a special Lip Navi effect in the same manner as the inrush Lip Navi effect with numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” respectively. Is called.

  Then, when the special replay winning combination is instructed during the ART specific mode, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the next variable game to the addition mode when a special winning is made. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the addition mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time is a high-precision RT game.

  On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a continues the stay in the ART specific mode without shifting to the extra mode when the special replay winning combination is instructed during the ART specific mode and no special winning is made.

  Further, 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 additional mode when shifting from the ART specific mode to the additional mode.

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 setting the effect flag indicating the high-definition RT effect). During the ART specific mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned), a special replay combination, and a normal replay combination that wins a duplicate with the special replay combination and winning can occur.

The sub-control CPU 41a does not execute the bell navigator effect and the various lip navigator effects even when the winning of the bell role is instructed during the highly accurate RT effect.
Further, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the normal mode when the bell combination is missed during the high-definition RT effect. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from a high-probability RT game to a low-probability RT game.

  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.

Next, control related to the addition mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning of the winning combination during the extra mode (during setting of the effect flag indicating the extra mode). In addition, during the extra mode, as a replay combination, a normal replay combination (unquestioned), a special replay combination, and a normal replay combination that wins a duplicate with the special replay combination and winning can occur.

  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 addition mode. In other words, during the extra mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. In addition, during the extra mode, a bell winning is generated when the player follows the bell navigator effect when winning the bell role.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the normal mode when the bell combination is missed during the addition mode. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a sets an effect flag indicating the normal mode. Incidentally, the gaming state at this time shifts from a high-probability RT game to a low-probability RT game.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the number of times to be added to the remaining G number (the number of times of addition when adding up) each time a variable game is played during the addition mode, and the determined number of times of addition Is added to the remaining G number. Thus, in this embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that extends the stay in the ART specific mode in this manner functions as an extension control means.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a does not subtract the remaining G number every time the variable game is performed during the addition mode. For this reason, in the add-on mode, the bell navigation effect is executed as in the ART specific mode. However, unlike the ART specific mode, the add-on mode is added to the ART specific mode, and the upper limit number of stays in the ART specific mode is not reduced. Therefore, it can be said that the state is more advantageous than the ART specific mode.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to control the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to display the remaining G number during the addition mode. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts from the addition mode 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 ART specific mode to the normal mode.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a determines the continuation rate of the addition mode for continuing the addition mode when the addition mode is shifted, and stores it in a predetermined area of the sub control RAM 41c. As the continuation rate of this extra mode, for players such as “50%”, “60%”, “70%”, “80%”, “85%”, “90%”, “95%” It is classified into a plurality of stages having different degrees of advantage, and any one is determined. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as a stage setting unit that sets the continuation rate of the addition mode that is determined to continue the addition mode as one of a plurality of stages.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines the continuation rate of the addition mode, based on the set continuation rate of the addition mode, the effect content of the suggestion effect that suggests the continuation rate of the addition mode is selected from a plurality of types of effect contents. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that the suggestion effect is executed with the determined effect content as the variable game is started. In addition, the suggestion effect in the present embodiment is an effect in which a predetermined character takes a posture to fight, and the continuation rate of the addition mode is suggested depending on the type of the posture. In the present embodiment, such an effect display device 14 functions as an effect execution unit that executes the suggestion effect, and the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as an effect content determination unit and an effect control unit.

  In addition, when the winning of the bell role or the normal replay role (first winning combination) is instructed in the addition mode, the sub-control CPU 41a adds the extra game based on the winning combination when the end of the variable game is instructed. An extra continuation lottery is performed to determine whether or not to continue the mode stay. This extra continuation lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability is obtained based on the determined continuation rate and winning combination. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a does not shift to the ART specific mode and continues to stay in the addition mode when winning in the addition continuous lottery. In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform the extra lottery when the winning combination other than the bell role and the normal replay role is instructed. However, in this case, the sub-control CPU 41a does not shift to the ART specific mode and continues to stay in the additional mode. Let On the other hand, if the sub-control CPU 41a does not win the extra lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the ART specific mode from the next variable game. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing continues to determine whether or not to continue the addition mode in the addition mode that is more advantageous to the player than the normal mode, the preparation mode, or the ART specific mode. Functions as a determination means.

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

Here, with reference to FIG. 7, the control for determining the content of the suggestion effect will be described.
As shown to Fig.7 (a), in this embodiment, the production content of the suggestion effect is matched for every continuation rate. As a specific example, when the continuation rate is “50%”, the suggestion effect EA is obtained, and when the continuation rate is “60%”, the suggestion effect EB is obtained and the continuation rate is “70%”. If it is, the suggestion effects EC are associated with each other.

  In addition, execution conditions (specific conditions) are defined for each continuation rate. As a specific example, when the continuation rate is “50%”, execution condition 1 is defined, and when the continuation rate is “70%”, execution condition 2 is defined. When the rate is “60%”, no special execution condition is defined.

  In addition, for the continuation rate for which the execution condition is defined, the effect content of the suggestion effect determined when the execution condition is not established is defined in advance. As a specific example, when the continuation rate is “50%” and “70%”, the suggestion effect EB corresponding to the case where the continuation rate is “60%” has a continuation rate of “85”. In the case of “%”, the suggestive effects ED corresponding to the case where the continuation rate is “80%” are respectively defined.

  That is, a specific continuation rate (specific stage) in which execution conditions such as “50%” and “70%” are specified, and a non-specification in which execution conditions such as “60%” and “80%” are not specified The continuation rate (non-specific stage) is defined to be adjacent. Then, for a specific continuation rate for which execution conditions are defined, a suggestion effect corresponding to a non-specific continuation rate (separate stage) for which the continuation rate and adjacent execution conditions are not specifically defined is defined in advance. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, various conditions are defined as execution conditions. This execution condition is a condition based on the game history, the result of the game in the pachislot 10 and other pachislot machines, pachinko machines, and other games in the server 100 (the content site CS of the server 100). It is a condition based on the result. This game history is game result information that is acquired based on a password input by a player's operation, can be updated based on control in the pachislot 10, and the result can be specified. That is, this game history is acquired from the pachislot 10 itself or from outside the pachislot 10.

  Specific examples of execution conditions include execution conditions 1 to 4. The execution condition 1 is satisfied when the special effect is executed once in the pachi-slot 10. The execution condition 2 is satisfied when the cumulative number of award medals reaches a predetermined number (10,000). The execution condition 3 is established when a special result in another game executed on the server 100 is derived. Examples of the special result include score, level, mission achievement, etc. in another game. The execution condition 4 is satisfied when the number of executions of the variable game staying in the normal mode continuously reaches a predetermined number of times (1000 times). That is, in this embodiment, a game history indicating execution of special effects, a game history indicating the number of accumulated prize medals, a game history indicating derivation of special results in another game executed on the server 100, and continuously normal A game history indicating the number of executions of the variable game staying in the mode is adopted as various execution conditions.

  Here, the determination of the effect contents of the suggestion effect will be described in detail. When the sub-control CPU 41a determines the continuation rate of the addition mode at the time of transition to the addition mode, it is stored in a predetermined area of the sub-control RAM 41c. The game history is read and the game history is acquired. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as an information acquisition unit that acquires a game history in which a game result in the gaming machine or the server 100 can be specified.

  In the present embodiment, when a password is input in response to a predetermined operation, the sub control CPU 41a can specify player-specific information and game history based on the password. Thus, the sub-control CPU 41a is managed by the server 100 and acquires a player-specific game history from the outside of the pachi-slot 10. Then, the sub control CPU 41a stores the information unique to the player and the game history in a predetermined area of the sub control RAM 41c. When no password is input, the initialized game history is stored in a predetermined area of the sub control RAM 41c.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the game history when the specific control related to the game in the pachislot 10 itself is performed. As a specific example, when a special effect in which a special image is displayed on the effect display device 14 is executed, the sub control CPU 41a updates the game history to that effect. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as a special effect determination unit that determines whether or not a special effect has been executed.

  When the payout number instruction command for instructing the number of award medals is input from the main control CPU 40a when paying out a prize medal, the sub control CPU 41a accumulates and counts the number of award medals. The data is stored in a predetermined area of the control RAM 41c. When the accumulated number of award medals reaches a predetermined number, the sub control CPU 41a updates the game history to that effect. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as a cumulative counting unit that counts the cumulative number of assigned game media.

  In addition, when the variable game is played during the normal mode, the sub control CPU 41a counts the number of executions of the variable game that stays in the normal mode continuously. Then, when the counted number of executions of the variable game reaches a predetermined number of times, the sub control CPU 41a updates the game history to that effect. In the present embodiment, the number of executions of such a variable game is not initialized by powering off, resetting, or RAM clearing, but is retained thereafter. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing functions as a counting unit that counts the number of executions of the variable game executed in the normal mode without controlling the ART mode or the like.

  The sub-control CPU 41a generates a two-dimensional code from the player's unique information and game history in accordance with a predetermined operation by the player, and displays the two-dimensional code on the effect display device 14.

  Returning to the description here, the sub-control CPU 41a produces a plurality of types of effect contents of the suggestion effect suggesting the continuation rate of the addition mode based on the set continuation rate of the addition mode and the acquired game history. Determine from the contents.

  In particular, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not an execution condition is defined corresponding to the set continuation rate of the addition mode. When the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the execution condition is defined, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the execution condition is satisfied based on the game history. The sub-control CPU 41a that executes such processing is a condition definition determination unit that determines whether or not the execution condition is specified in accordance with the set continuation rate, whether the specified execution condition is satisfied It functions as specific condition determination means for determining whether or not.

  Specifically, when a specific continuation rate that defines an execution condition such as “50%” or “70%” is set, the sub-control CPU 41a, based on the acquired game history, It is determined whether or not an execution condition corresponding to a specific continuation rate is established. When the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the execution condition is not satisfied, the sub-control CPU 41a refers to the effect content of the suggestion effect at the time of non-establishment without determining the effect content of the suggestion effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate. Then, the effect content of the suggestion effect corresponding to another non-specific continuation rate adjacent to the specific continuation rate is determined. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines that the execution condition corresponding to the continuation rate is satisfied, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the effect content of the suggestion effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate.

  Further, when the continuation rate such as “60%” or “80%” is set, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the execution condition is satisfied because the execution condition corresponding to the continuation rate is not defined. Regardless, the suggestion effect corresponding to the continuation rate is determined.

  In the present embodiment, the continuation rate such as “50%” and “70%” corresponds to the specific stage, and the continuation rate such as “60%” and “80%” corresponds to the non-specific stage. In addition, the suggested effects EA, EC corresponding to the specific stage correspond to the specific effect contents, and the suggested effects EB, ED corresponding to the non-specific stage correspond to the non-specific effect contents, respectively. Further, the normal mode corresponds to the normal gaming state, and the extra mode corresponds to the advantageous gaming state.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) In the case where a specific continuation rate is set among the continuation rates of the addition mode with different degrees of advantage for the player, the execution condition corresponding to the specific continuation rate is not established based on the game history Sometimes, the content of the suggestion effect corresponding to another continuation rate different from the specific continuation rate is determined without determining the content of the suggestion effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate. On the other hand, when the execution condition is satisfied, control is performed so that the effect content of the suggestion effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate can be determined. For this reason, when the execution condition is established based on the game history, it is possible to determine the content of the suggested effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate, and the possibility that the content of the suggested effect corresponding to each continuation rate is executed. Becomes higher. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the production contents of the suggestion effect that suggests the set continuation rate, it is possible to give interest to whether or not the game history and execution conditions are satisfied, and to improve the interest in the game be able to.

  (2) The execution condition 1 is established when a game history indicating that the special effect has been executed in the pachislot 10 is stored. For this reason, in order to raise the precision of the effect content of the suggestion effect which suggests the set continuation rate, the expectation with respect to execution of a special effect can be heightened, and the interest with respect to a game can be improved.

  (3) Even if the number of times of execution of the game executed in the normal mode is increased without controlling the high-definition RT game, the execution condition 4 is satisfied when the specified number of times is reached. For this reason, since the precision of the production content of the suggestion effect that suggests the set continuation rate is increased, disappointment with respect to the progress of the game can be suppressed, and a decrease in interest in the game can be prevented.

  (4) One of a plurality of stages is set as a continuation rate determined to continue the addition mode. For this reason, when the execution condition is satisfied, it is possible to determine the effect content of the suggestion effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate, and the possibility that the effect content of the suggestion effect corresponding to each continuation rate is executed increases. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the production contents of the suggestion effect that suggests the set continuation rate, it is possible to give interest to whether or not the game history and execution conditions are satisfied, and to improve the interest in the game be able to.

  (5) In the case where a specific continuation rate is set, if the execution condition is not established based on the game history, the specific content is determined without determining the content of the suggested effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate. The production content of the suggestive effect corresponding to the non-specific continuation rate adjacent to the continuation rate is determined. For this reason, when the execution condition is not satisfied, even if the content of the suggested effect corresponding to the specific continuation rate is not determined, the accuracy of the content of the suggested effect suggesting the set continuation rate is remarkably high. The interest in the execution of the suggestive effect can be maintained without lowering, and the interest in the game can be improved.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and the same control contents as those of the already described embodiments, and the overlapping description is omitted or simplified.

  In 1st Embodiment, it comprised so that the suggestion effect which suggests the continuation rate of an addition mode might be performed. However, the second embodiment is configured such that a suggestion effect suggesting a set value indicating the winning probability of the ART entry lottery or the advantage of the extra lottery is executed. Moreover, the combination of the structure in these each embodiment may be sufficient. That is, it is only necessary to execute a suggestion effect that suggests which stage is set among a plurality of stages having different degrees of advantage for the player.

  Specifically, when the power supply of the pachislot machine 10 is turned on, the set value of the pachislot machine 10 can be changed by operating a setting device disposed inside the pachislot machine 10. This set value is a value indicating the degree of advantage regarding the progress of the game, and any one of “1” to “6” is set, and the set value is “6” rather than “1”. This is advantageous in various lotteries. In particular, in the present embodiment, it is defined that the winning probability of the ART entry lottery is higher when the set value is “6” than when the set value is “1”. That is, by setting the set value, the winning probability of the ART entry lottery regarding the transition to the ART mode (ART specific mode) as the advantageous gaming state is set as one of a plurality of stages. Further, in the present embodiment, it is defined that the addition lottery is more advantageous and the extension of the ART specific mode is more advantageous when the set value is “6” than when the set value is “1”. That is, when the set value is set, the advantage of the extra lottery regarding the extension of the ART mode (ART specific mode) as the advantageous gaming state is set as one of a plurality of stages.

  Thus, the main control CPU 40a sets the set value by operating the setting device when the pachislot machine 10 is turned on, and stores the set value in a predetermined area of the main control RAM 40c. Further, the main control CPU 40a outputs a set value instruction command for instructing the set set value to the sub control CPU 41a.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a identifies the set value instructed by the set value instruction command in response to the input of the set value instruction command, and stores it in a predetermined area of the sub control RAM 41c. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs an ART entry lottery or an extra lottery based on the set value that has been set.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs a suggestion effect lottery for determining whether or not to execute the suggestion effect each time a variable game is performed. The CPU 41a for sub-controls, based on the fact that it was won in the suggestion effect lottery, based on the set value that has been set and the acquired game history, the effect content of the suggestion effect that suggests the set value from a plurality of types of effect content decide.

  In this case, for example, the execution condition is not defined corresponding to the set value “1”. In addition, the execution condition 1 is defined corresponding to the set value “2”, and the effect content of the suggestive effect corresponding to the set value “1” is defined when the execution condition 1 is not satisfied.

  Then, when the set value is “2” and the execution condition 1 is not satisfied based on the game history, the sub control CPU 41a displays the effect contents of the suggestive effect corresponding to the set value “1”. decide. On the other hand, when the setting value is “2” and the execution condition 1 is established based on the game history, the sub control CPU 41a displays the effect contents of the suggestive effect corresponding to the setting value “2”. decide. Further, when the set value is “1”, the sub control CPU 41a determines the contents of the effect of the suggestive effect corresponding to the set value “1” regardless of the game history.

  By configuring in this way, any one of the setting values of a plurality of stages indicating the probability relating to the transition to the ART mode (ART specific mode) and the advantageous degree relating to the extension of the ART mode (ART specific mode) is set. Is done. For this reason, when the execution condition is satisfied, it is possible to determine the content of the suggested effect corresponding to the specific set value, and the possibility of executing the content of the suggested effect corresponding to each set value is increased. Therefore, in order to increase the accuracy of the content of the suggestion effect that suggests the set value that has been set, it is possible to give interest to whether or not the game history and execution conditions are satisfied, and to improve the interest in the game be able to.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the second embodiment, when the set value is directly referred to and the execution value is not satisfied when the set value is the specific set value, the set value corresponds to a set value different from the specific set value. Although the production content of the suggestion production has been determined, it is not limited to this. For example, the set value may be indirectly referenced. As a specific example, when the setting value is low, “60%” is easily determined as the continuation rate of the addition mode in the first embodiment, and when the setting value is high, the addition mode in the first embodiment is determined. Control may be performed so that “70%” is easily determined as the continuation rate. In this case, if the execution condition is satisfied, the suggestion effect corresponding to the continuation rate “70%” can be determined, and it is predicted that the set value is high by executing the suggestion effect corresponding to “70%”. It becomes possible. By configuring in this way, the set value is more easily predicted as various execution conditions are satisfied.

  In the second embodiment, the winning probability of the ART entry lottery and the advantage degree of the extra lottery are determined according to the set value to be set, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, depending on the set value, the winning probability of the small role, the determination probability of the initial number of the ART specific mode, the continuation probability of the ART specific mode, the execution probability of the special Lip Navi effect, the transition probability to the addition mode, etc. are determined. A suggestion effect that suggests the set value may be executed. Of course, the degree of advantage of various probabilities may be determined regardless of the set value.

  In the above embodiment, a game system that allows a game history or the like to be specified in the pachislot 10 when a password indicating a game history or the like managed in the server 100 is displayed on the mobile terminal CM and input to the pachislot 10 YS has been provided, but is not limited to this. For example, a gaming system may be provided in which the pachislot 10 and the server 100 are connected so as to be communicable and the pachislot 10 identifies the player's unique information so that the game history can be identified. In this case, even if the two-dimensional code is not displayed on the effect display device 14, information indicating the latest game history can be output from the pachi-slot 10 to the server 100. Further, for example, the pachislot 10 may manage the game history independently without using the server 100 or the like.

  In the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not various execution conditions are satisfied. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if it is determined whether or not at least one of these various execution conditions is satisfied. Good. Further, for example, it may be determined whether another execution condition based on the game history is satisfied. As a specific example, there are execution conditions that are satisfied when the number of transitions to the high-definition RT game, the number of sets in which the ART specific mode has been executed, the number of days in which the variable game is played in the pachislot 10 are equal to or greater than the prescribed number. It may be specified. Further, for example, in various execution conditions, a period (for example, one day, several hours, etc.) for counting the number of prize medals and the number of executions of the variable game may be defined.

  -In the said embodiment, although the production | presentation content of the suggestion production | presentation corresponding to the stage adjacent to the specific stage was determined as production | presentation content of the suggestion production | presentation at the time of the non-fulfillment of the execution conditions corresponding to a specific stage, it is not restricted to this. For example, the production content of the suggestion effect corresponding to a stage that is not adjacent to the specific stage may be determined. Further, in the above embodiment, when “50%” is determined as the continuation rate and the execution condition 1 is not satisfied, the suggestion effect corresponding to “60%” higher than “50%”. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the suggestion effect corresponding to “40%” lower than “50%” may be executed. In other words, even if the production content of the suggested performance corresponding to the non-specific stage having a higher degree of advantage than the specific stage is determined as the production content of the suggested performance when the execution condition corresponding to the specific stage is not established, the specific stage The production content of the suggestion production corresponding to the non-specific stage having a lower degree of advantage may be determined.

  In the above embodiment, among the multiple stages, the stage where the execution condition is defined and the stage where the execution condition is not defined are alternately arranged. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the stages where the execution conditions are not defined may be adjacent.

  -In the above embodiment, the suggestion effect at the time when the execution condition corresponding to the specific stage is not established is defined in advance, but not limited thereto, for example, the suggestion effect is not defined in advance, and other than the specific stage, It may be determined whether or not the execution condition is satisfied or the execution condition itself is not defined, and the production content of the suggestion effect corresponding to the step determined to be affirmative may be determined. Further, in this case, of the steps other than the specific step, the specific step is adjacent to the specific step, such as the one step disadvantageous step, the one step advantageous step, the two step disadvantageous step, or the two step advantageous step. The determination may be made by giving priority to a matching stage, a stage close to a specific stage, or an unfavorable stage, but is not limited thereto.

  In the above embodiment, at the stage where the execution condition is not specified or the stage where the specified execution condition is established, the suggestion effect corresponding to the stage is always executed. A suggestion effect corresponding to the stage may be executed with a predetermined probability, and another suggestion effect not corresponding to the stage may be executed with a predetermined probability. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the suggestion effect corresponding to the stage is executed with a higher probability than when another suggestion effect not corresponding to the stage is executed.

  In the above embodiment, at the stage where the prescribed execution condition is not established, another suggestive effect that does not correspond to that stage is always executed, but this is not limiting, for example, another stage that does not correspond to that stage The suggestion effect may be executed with a predetermined probability, and the suggestion effect corresponding to the stage may be executed with a predetermined probability. In this case, for example, it is preferable that another suggestion effect not corresponding to the stage is executed with a higher probability than when the suggestion effect corresponding to the stage is executed.

  In the above embodiment, when the bell role or the normal replay role is won in the extra mode, the extra continuation lottery is performed and the ART specific mode is shifted based on the lottery result. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the extra mode, if another small role such as a watermelon role or a cherry role is elected, a continuous lottery may be performed, or a combination of these may be used. A continuous lottery may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, when a special prize is awarded in the ART specific mode and the special winning combination is instructed, the mode is shifted to the extra mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the mode may be shifted to the extra mode with a predetermined probability by winning or winning a cherry role. Further, for example, the player may be transferred to the addition mode with a predetermined probability by winning and winning a watermelon role or the like regardless of whether or not the stop operation by the player satisfies a specific operation condition. Further, for example, regardless of the winning combination, the mode may be shifted to the addition mode on condition that the winning is performed in a predetermined lottery.

  In the above embodiment, every time a variable game is played in the addition mode, the addition to the ART specific mode is always performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, there may be a variation game in which no addition is made. The addition may be performed every time the game fluctuates. In addition, for example, a lottery may be performed to determine whether or not to add each time a variable game is played. Further, in the addition mode, when the winning of the watermelon role or cherry role is instructed, the ART specific mode may be added with a predetermined probability, or a combination thereof may be used. That is, it is only necessary that the addition to the ART specific mode is possible in the addition mode.

  In the above-described embodiment, the ART specific mode is added in the addition mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the ART specific mode may be added in the ART specific mode or the preparation mode. Further, for example, an addition to the addition mode may be performed in various modes.

  In the above embodiment, the extra mode corresponds to the advantageous gaming state, but not limited to this, for example, the ART specific mode may correspond to the advantageous gaming state, for example, even if the extra mode is not specified, there is a problem Absent.

  In the above embodiment, control of two types of gaming state, low-probability RT game and high-probability RT game, is performed, but not limited to this, for example, control of one type or three or more types of gaming state is performed. May be.

  In the above embodiment, various ART modes are adopted, but not limited to this, for example, a bonus or the like that wins a small role such as a bell role with a high probability may be adopted, and these are combinations. Also good.

  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, the presentation state is managed by the sub control board 41, but the presentation state may be managed by the main control board 40. Further, although the 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.
