Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine which executes, when an execution trigger of a precursory performance is produced, the precursory performances corresponding to the produced trigger without any omission as much as possible.SOLUTION: When a first precursory performance is executed based on an occurrence of a first prescribed trigger, a second prescribed trigger is produced and a second precursor performance is selected, then, if the number of games set in the second precursor performance is equal to or less than the number of residual games of the first precursor performance, the game machine executes a start lottery. As a result of the lottery, when it is determined to preferentially execute the first precursor performance, the game machine continues the execution of the first precursor performance and, when it is determined to preferentially execute the second precursor performance, interrupts the execution of the first precursor performance to execute the second precursor performance and, after the second precursor performance is finished, executes the residual of the first precursor performance that has been interrupted.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs an effect corresponding to a lottery result.

  In this type of gaming machine, for example, a slot machine, an advantage such as a bonus game or an AT (assist time) based on the winning of the winning combination based on the winning of the predetermined winning combination, etc. The transition to the gaming state and the benefits related to the mode of the advantageous gaming state, for example, the addition of the number of games of the advantageous gaming and the continuation of the advantageous period can be given. And various productions that suggest to the player the presence or absence of those benefits are performed. For example, it is an effect that is continuously performed over a plurality of games, and a precursor effect that suggests a transition to an advantageous gaming state is widely known. It may be performed not only when the game is performed but also when the transition to the advantageous gaming state is not confirmed.

In the case where a situation in which it is not appropriate to continue the continuous production during the execution of the continuous production over a plurality of games suggesting the transition to the advantageous gaming state or the like, the content of the continuous production being executed is changed. There is. For example, in Patent Document 1, if it is determined that a bonus is not won due to the outcome during execution of a fake continuous effect suggesting the start of a bonus, the fake continuous effect is canceled or the content is changed. It is described to do.
Alternatively, if it is not appropriate to stop the continuous effect during the execution of the continuous effect, the continuous effect can be continued. For example, in Patent Document 2, based on the control of the sub-control device, the sign effect that starts when the number of games up to the ceiling at which AT is started reaches a predetermined number of games, and the number of games up to the ceiling are predetermined. If there is a gasse sign effect that starts even though the number of games has been exceeded, and a freeze based on the control of the main controller occurs during execution of the gaze sign effect (if the expectation increases), the gaze sign effect It is described that the number of games to the ceiling will be shortened without quitting. Further, Patent Document 3 describes that when another production execution trigger occurs during execution of a continuous production, the production based on the opportunity is not performed and the continuous production is continued.

  Here, when an execution trigger of a precursor effect occurs during execution of a continuous effect (a predictor effect) suggesting a transition to an advantageous gaming state, it is assumed that no precursor effect corresponding to a later execution trigger is performed. There is a problem that the reliability of the execution opportunity is lowered. For example, it is assumed that the lottery for the transition to the advantageous gaming state is performed at the time of winning the specific combination, and that the sign production that suggests the transition to the advantageous gaming state can be started. In such a case, if the player knows the winning of the specified role by winning the specified role, if there is no change in the subsequent production, there will be no gain even if the specified role is assigned It becomes distrustful and uncomfortable, and it seems to be a failure to assign a specific role.

  Therefore, in the present invention, when an execution trigger of a prelude effect occurs, the predecessor effect corresponding to the generated execution trigger is executed without omission as much as possible so as not to give distrust or discomfort to the player. For the purpose.

The features of the present invention will be described below using the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings.
In addition, the code | symbol in parenthesis shows the code | symbol used in embodiment of invention, and does not limit the technical scope of this invention.
(First invention)
The first invention of the present application has a normal gaming state and an advantageous gaming state (for example, an AT state) that can obtain more profits than the normal gaming state. A game that suggests a transition to a gaming state, and is formed so as to be able to execute a precursor effect that is performed over a plurality of unit periods for each predetermined unit period (for example, one game) that is one section in the progress of the game. Related to the machine. In addition, in the gaming machine, when the predetermined opportunity occurs, the effect determining means (effect lottery means 221) for determining the number of unit periods in which the precursor effect is executed, and the effect determining means (221) are determined. An effect execution means (execution effect determination means 223, effect data output means 230) for executing the sign effect, and the first sign effect (first effect) determined by the effect determination means (221) based on the occurrence of the first predetermined trigger ) Is being executed by the production execution means (223,230), and when the second predetermined opportunity occurs and the production determination means (221) decides the second precursor production (later production), Priority start determination means (224) for determining which of the first precursor effect and the second precursor effect is to be executed with priority.

  Then, the priority start determining means (224) is configured such that the unit period number set for the second precursor effect is the number of unit periods for which the effect has been executed from the unit period number set for the first precursor effect. When the number of remaining periods is equal to or less than the number of remaining periods, it is determined by lottery (start lottery) which warning effect is preferentially executed, the effect execution means (223, 230), the priority start determination means (224), When it is determined that the first precursor effect is to be executed preferentially, the execution of the first precursor effect is continued, and when it is determined that the second precursor effect is to be executed preferentially Interrupts the execution of the first precursor effect and executes the second precursor effect, and executes the rest of the interrupted first precursor effect after the end of the second precursor effect. It is formed as follows.

(Action / Effect)
Here, the “predetermined unit period” is a section in the progress of the game, for example, a period during which one game is played, or a predetermined period during one game (for example, a plurality of operation means Period between operations). The “predetermined opportunity” includes winning or winning a predetermined lottery opportunity. The “first predetermined opportunity” and the “second predetermined opportunity” may be different types of triggers (different types of winning combinations), or may be the same type of triggers.
In the present invention, when the second predetermined trigger occurs during execution of the first precursor effect, the effect determining means (221) is the number of unit periods in which the second precursor effect is executed and after the end of the precursor effect The presence / absence of transition to the advantageous gaming state is determined. At this stage, execution of the second warning effect has not been determined. When the mode of the second precursor effect is determined, the priority start determining means (224) compares the number of remaining periods of the first precursor effect with the number of unit periods set for the second precursor effect, If the number of unit periods set for the first sign production is equal to or less than the number of remaining periods of the first sign production, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to start the second sign production. If the lottery is won, the second warning effect is executed, and if not, the second warning effect is not executed.

According to the present invention, the second precursor effect is executed as much as possible on condition that the second precursor effect ends within the execution period of the first precursor effect.
(Second invention)
In the second invention, in addition to the feature of the first invention described above, the priority start determining means (224) is configured so that the number of unit periods set in the second precursor effect is the first precursor effect. When the number of remaining periods is greater than the number of remaining periods, it is determined that the first precursor effect is preferentially executed, and the effect execution means (223, 230) is such that the priority start determining means (224) is the first precursor effect. Is determined to be preferentially executed, the start of the second precursor effect is suspended, the first precursor effect is continuously executed, and after the first precursor effect is finished, It is formed so that the 2nd sign production may be started.

(Action / Effect)
According to the present invention, the second precursor effect is necessarily executed on condition that the second precursor effect has a unit period number exceeding the execution period of the first precursor effect.
(Third invention)
In addition to the above-described features of the first or second invention, the third invention is characterized in that the effect execution means (223, 230) is one of the first sign effect and the second sign effect. When the other precursor effect is interrupted or suspended, the remaining number of unit periods when the other precursor effect is interrupted or suspended is started. From the above, the other precursor effect is executed by the number of unit periods obtained by subtracting the number of unit periods corresponding to the suspended or suspended period.

(Action / Effect)
Here, “when one precursor effect is executed and the other precursor effect is interrupted or suspended” specifically means that the second precursor effect is executed and the first precursor effect is interrupted. This is a case where the first precursor effect is executed and the second precursor effect is put on hold.
In addition, the present invention includes forming so that the number of remaining periods of the prelude effect suspended or suspended decreases as the number of executions of the predecessor effect being executed is reduced.
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the sign production which respond | corresponds to the predetermined opportunity which generate | occur | produced efficiently can be performed in a short period without omission as much as possible, without making the production period unnecessarily prolonged.

(Fourth invention)
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the feature points of any of the first to third aspects described above, the precursor effect is performed when the precursor effect is determined to be shifted to the advantageous gaming state. In addition, there is a false precursor effect that is performed when it is not determined to shift to the advantageous gaming state, and in the lottery performed by the priority start determination means (224), the main precursor effect is prioritized over the false precursor effect It is formed so that it can be selected.
(Action / Effect)
According to the present invention, when a predetermined opportunity occurs and a precursor effect is started, the possibility of shifting to an advantageous gaming state is increased, and thus the reliability of the predetermined opportunity can be increased.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, when an execution trigger of a precursor effect occurs, the precursor effect corresponding to the generated trigger is executed without omission as much as possible, and the player is distrusted or distrusted. It is possible to avoid giving pleasure.

(Role lottery means 70)
The combination lottery means 70 is for performing a lottery for determining whether or not to win a predetermined “combination” associated with the symbol combination displayed on the plurality of rotating reels 40, although not particularly illustrated. The combination lottery table and the determination means are provided. Then, at the timing of receiving the operation signal of the start switch 30, the count extracting means (not shown) reads the numerical value of the loop counter, and the determining means compares this numerical value with the role lottery table to determine the presence / absence of winning. is there.

The slot machine 10 wins when the symbol combination associated with the winning combination is stopped on the active line by operating the stop switch 50, and a profit corresponding to the winning combination is given. In the present embodiment, as the combination, a small combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, a re-playing combination that can play a game again without newly inserting a game medal in the next game by winning, And a bonus combination in which a bonus game is started from the next game.
In addition, the effective line is a plurality of rotating reels 40 that can be connected to one of the symbols displayed on the three rotating reels 40 for each rotating reel 40. Among all the lines (winning line), it is a line that defines an arrangement of symbol combinations that are effective for winning. The winning line becomes an active line by betting a prescribed number of medals, which is the number of medals that can be bet for one game. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a middle line L1 formed by connecting a symbol located in the middle of the left reel 41, a symbol located in the middle of the middle reel 42, and a symbol located in the middle of the right reel 43. Is set as the winning line. In the present embodiment, two or three medals can be bet per game according to the internal lottery state related to the lottery aspect of the combination lottery means 70. The middle line L1 is valid regardless of whether a medal is bet or three medals are betted, but the number of payout medals due to winning a small role is set differently in each case.

Examples of the small role include a bell role associated with the symbol combination “Bell / Bell / Bell”, a watermelon role associated with the symbol combination “Watermelon / Watermelon / Watermelon”, and “Cherry / ANY”. A cherry role associated with a symbol combination of “ANY” (ANY means any symbol) is provided.
In addition, the replay is associated with, for example, a symbol combination of “replay / replay / replay”, and when a regame player wins, the medal insertion from the medal insertion slot 14 or the operation of the bet switch 16 is performed. An automatic bet process is executed to make a bet regardless.
In the present embodiment, as a bonus combination, for example, a CBB (challenge big bonus) associated with a symbol combination of “BAR · 7 · BAR” is provided. When CBB wins, a challenge big bonus game (CBB game) which is a bonus game is started from the next game. Here, the CBB game is a game period in which a challenge bonus (CB) is continuously generated. The CB is a winning state regardless of the lottery result of the winning lottery, and at least one rotating reel. 40 is a period of one game in which the number of smooth frames is equal to or less than the number of frames below the maximum number of smooth frames described later.

  When transitioning to a CBB game, the CB starts unconditionally, that is, without aligning the symbols (CB symbols) for transitioning to the CB. When one CB ends, the next CB game starts again unconditionally. The In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is set to 3 in games other than during the CBB game, and the prescribed number is changed to 2 during the CBB game. During the CBB game, even if a small role wins, medals exceeding the prescribed number are not paid out. The CBB is ended when the total number of payout medals exceeds a predetermined number, for example, 26. Note that CB may be started when predetermined CB symbols are arranged in the CBB. When a bonus combination is won, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of medals may be paid out, and then the bonus state may be entered. Further, the CBB end condition may be other conditions (for example, the number of games or winning a specific combination).

The winning lottery table defines the count value of the loop counter (for example, 0 to 65535) as the entire area, and a predetermined numerical area is defined as the winning area corresponding to the role. For each ball setting, a plurality of combination lottery tables provided according to the internal lottery state are provided. When performing the above-described winning determination, the role lottery table corresponding to the set value of the slot machine 10 and the internal lottery state is referred to.
Specifically, the role lottery table includes a normal table that is referred to in the normal state, a bonus table that is referred to in the bonus state, and an internal table that is referred to inside the bonus. These tables are provided for each setting. ing.

Here, inside bonus is an internal lottery state in which a bonus flag described later is carried over, and a bonus state is an internal lottery state in which a bonus game is performed. The normal state is a state other than the above, and is an internal lottery state of the slot machine 10 that is initially set (at the time of shipment or after the setting is changed).
Each winning lottery table has a winning area and a lost area. The ratios of the winning areas of all the small roles in each combination lottery table (hereinafter referred to as “winning probability”) are set equally in the normal table and the internal medium table. In addition, the winning probability (total value) of the re-playing winning combination in the winning lottery table other than the bonus table is set to be higher in the internal middle table than in the normal table. For example, in the normal table, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 7.3, and in the internal table, the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to about 1 / 3.5. As a result, for games where the internal lottery status is inside the bonus, the number of replays that can be played without adding new game medals increases, and the winning probability of small roles does not change, so the number of held medals is reduced. Less. Further, in the internal middle table, the loss area is extremely small, and is set to 1/65536, for example. In addition, the structure and winning probability of the above-described combination lottery table are examples, and are not limited to the above-described modes and numerical values. For example, the bonus table may be provided with a re-game winning area. Further, the inner middle table does not have to be provided with a loss area.

  Here, if any combination wins as a result of the lottery, a winning flag corresponding to the winning is established. When the winning combination is a small combination, a small combination flag (watermelon flag, bell flag, etc.) is set, when a bonus combination is set, a bonus flag (CBB flag) is set, and when a replaying combination is set, a replay flag is set. The small combination flag and the replay flag are reset only for one game, but the bonus flag is not reset until the bonus combination is won. That is, in the case of winning a bonus combination, the right to win is carried over after the next game. In addition, when the overlapping winning area is won, the winning flags corresponding to the respective combinations included in the area are established.

Further, during the CB, regardless of the result of the combination lottery, all the small combination flags are established. That is, during the CB, even if a predetermined small combination is won or the lottery result is lost, the winning flags of all small combinations are established. As a result, during the CB, all the small roles are won, and it becomes easy to win the small roles.
(Internal lottery state transition control means 80)
The internal lottery state transition control means 80 is for controlling the transition of the internal lottery state due to the difference in the lottery mode of the combination lottery means 70 in the main state according to a predetermined condition. Here, as the predetermined condition for the transition to the internal lottery state, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are established, the internal lottery state is shifted to another internal lottery state based on the fact that one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied. Can be made.

Specifically, the internal lottery state transition control means 80 determines the transition to the inside of the bonus based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 70, and based on the determination result of the game result determination means 100, The end and the transition to the bonus state are determined, and the end of the bonus state (return to the normal state) is determined based on the measured value of a game counter (not shown).
Then, in accordance with the determination of the internal lottery state transition control means 80, the role lottery means 70 selects a role lottery table corresponding to the determination and performs the role lottery, so that a predetermined state such as a normal state, a bonus inside, a bonus state, etc. The internal lottery status is activated.
(Reel control means 90)
The reel control means 90 is for controlling the rotation and stop of the rotary reel 40 based on the operation signals of the start switch 30 and the stop switch 50. Although not shown, the rotation control means and the stop control means are provided. At least.

  The rotation control means is for driving the stepping motor of the reel unit 60 to rotate the rotating reel 40 when a valid operation signal of the start switch 30 is received. Specifically, when an operation signal for the start switch 30 is input while a specified number of bets have been placed, a predetermined time (4.1 seconds, so-called wait time) from the start of rotation of the rotating reel 40 in the previous game. As a result, the rotation pulses of all the rotating reels 40 are started simultaneously or in a predetermined order by outputting a driving pulse to each stepping motor. A drive pulse for starting the driving of the stepping motor is referred to as a start signal. When the rotation speeds of all the reels 40 reach a predetermined steady rotation speed (for example, 80 rpm), constant speed rotation is performed at this steady rotation speed.

  The stop control means grasps the current rotation angle of the rotary reel 40 based on a detection signal of an index sensor (not shown) for detecting the rotation of the rotary reel 40 provided in the reel unit 60, and stops the stop switch 50. The symbol located on the predetermined effective line can be identified from the rotation angle of the rotary reel 40 at the time when is operated. Then, with the specified symbol as a reference, the corresponding rotating reel 40 is stopped within a range from the reference symbol to a symbol when a predetermined number (maximum number of sliding frames, for example, four frames) is moved in the rotation direction. Is formed. In other words, in the stop control means, the amount of rotation that the rotating reel 40 rotates from when the stop switch 50 is operated until the corresponding rotating reel 40 stops falls within a predetermined number of frames. Thus, the drive stop of the stepping motor is controlled. Specifically, when the reference symbol may be stopped at that position, the rotating reel 40 is stopped as it is, and when it is not allowed to stop at that position, the time until the rotating reel 40 stops is set. Slowly, kick the symbol off the active line and stop. When the winning symbol is included in the range of the maximum number of smooth frames, the time until the rotating reel 40 stops is delayed, and the winning symbol is drawn on the active line and stopped.

  Here, the stop control means sets in advance which of the plurality of winning combinations is to be drawn preferentially in the pull-in control when a plurality of winning flags are simultaneously established. For example, the pull-in priority when different types of winning combinations are won simultaneously is set to re-playing combination> small combination> bonus combination. Specifically, if a bonus combination and a small combination are elected at the same time, the small combination is given priority, and if a bonus combination and a replay combination are selected at the same time, the replay combination is selected. Pull in preferentially. In other words, when a small role or replay symbol is won during the bonus, the small symbol or replay symbol is preferentially drawn, and the bonus symbol corresponding to the bonus role is preferentially drawn. Only if the result is a loss.

The stop control means performs the above-described control using priority determination data for specifying a stop position candidate based on the priority, and how many frames the symbol is rotated from the reference symbol to stop the rotary reel 40. Based on the result of the lottery and the operation timing of the stop switch 50, it is performed based on the stop table defined on the table for each winning symbol.
The stop table used during CB is a stop table corresponding to a state in which all the small combination flags are established. In other words, depending on the timing of the stop operation, any small symbol can be drawn on the active line. In addition, the stop table used during the CB is set so that the number of sliding frames corresponding to at least one rotary reel 40 set in advance is 1 frame or less (1 frame or 0 frame). As a result, during the CB, for at least one rotating reel 40, the maximum number of winning symbols for the winning symbol is one.

The stop control means stores information on a stop symbol when the rotary reel 40 is stopped in a predetermined storage unit.
Note that the internal table, which is the role lottery table used inside the bonus, has a very small loss area, so if the CBB wins and the CBB is not won in the game, The CBB cannot be won unless the lottery result is lost within the bonus and does not correspond to an extremely rare opportunity. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the CBB is won and the CBB is not won in the game, the internal lottery state stays in the bonus inside almost always.

(Game result judging means 100)
The game result determination means 100 is for determining the result of the game when all the rotating reels 40 are stopped by the operation of the stop switch 50.
Specifically, based on the information of the stop symbol stored in the stop control means, it is determined whether or not the combination of symbols arranged on the active line is associated with a predetermined combination. If it is determined that the symbol combination associated with the predetermined combination is displayed on the active line, it is determined that the winning combination is received, and the determination result information is transmitted to the payout control means 110 and the internal lottery state transition control means 80. To do. The payout control means 110 that has received the determination result information performs payout medals payout processing, and the internal lottery state transition control means 80 performs transition processing to the bonus state. In addition, automatic bet processing is performed in accordance with the winning of the re-gamer. Further, by performing a predetermined signal output to the sub-control device 22, it is possible to perform a predetermined effect at the start of a winning or bonus game by the liquid crystal display device 67, the lamp 68, or the speaker 69.

(Discharge control means 110)
The payout control means 110 operates the hopper unit 65 and pays out medals based on the determination result of the game result determination means 100 and the operation of the settlement switch 17. That is, when the game result determination means 100 determines the winning of the payout small combination, the medal corresponding to the small combination winning is paid out, and when the settlement switch 17 is operated when there are 1 or more credits, the electronic money is used as the credit. The medals that are stored are paid out.
(Sub-control device 22)
The sub control device 22 mainly controls the effects accompanying the game based on the output signal from the main control device 21, and the effect device 6 is connected to the output side of the sub control device 22. Here, as the effect device 6, an image display unit 67, a lamp 68, and a speaker 69 are provided. The image display unit 67 is used to display a winning notification or other effect image using a liquid crystal display device or the like installed in the back of the window provided above the symbol display window 13. The lamp 68 is for notifying the game situation, the game result, and the like by lighting or blinking the light emitter, and the speaker 69 is for outputting a predetermined sound such as BGM or operation sound.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sub-control device 22 functions as an AT control unit 200, an effect data storage unit 210, an effect execution control unit 220, and an effect data output unit 230.
(AT control means 200)
The AT control means 200 is means for controlling an AT (assist time) at which notification regarding the winning combination is performed. Specifically, the AT control means 200 includes at least an AT counter that counts the number of games (AT game) played during the AT period and the number of sets, although not particularly shown, and is a role transmitted from the main control device 21. The start and end of the AT are controlled based on the lottery result, information on the game result, and the count value of the AT counter.

Here, the sub state based on the control of the sub control device 22 includes an AT state and a sub normal state which is a state other than the AT state. The AT state is an advantageous gaming state in which information regarding the winning combination is notified by the AT control means 200.
When the predetermined AT start condition is met, the AT control means 200 shifts the sub state to the AT state, and when the predetermined AT end condition is met, the AT control unit 200 ends the AT state and sets the sub state to the sub state. It returns to the normal state. During the AT execution period (during AT), the image display unit 67, the speaker 69, and the like are notified of the winning combination.
The AT is started after a predetermined game in the case of winning an AT transition lottery performed when a predetermined lottery opportunity (for example, a watermelon role or a cherry role) is won. The predetermined game is determined by a scenario lottery performed by the effect lottery means 221 described later, and during the predetermined game, a scenario effect suggesting a transition to the AT state is performed. In the present embodiment, AT transition lottery and scenario lottery are performed simultaneously. When transitioning to the AT state (when AT is started), a notification for assisting the winning of a small role is performed. Then, the AT ends when the set number of games is consumed. The set number of games is the number of games set in advance or determined by lottery when the transition to the AT state is confirmed, and is the initial value of the AT counter. In addition, at a predetermined time during AT, for example, at the time of winning a watermelon role or a cherry role, an AT game number is added and a lottery is performed. When the additional lottery is won, the number determined by the lottery is added to the AT game number (AT Counter is added). The AT counter decrements the count value by 1 for each game, and the AT ends when the count value of the AT counter becomes 0.

Note that a so-called ceiling may be provided in which AT is unconditionally started by digesting a predetermined number of games (for example, 1000 games) without winning an AT transition lottery after the AT has ended.
Here, as an aspect of AT, there are generally one that notifies the operation order (batting order) of the stop switch 50 and one that notifies the symbol (index symbol) included in the symbol combination associated with the winning combination, Any of these may be used in the present embodiment.
When notifying the batting order of the stop switch 50, the batting order of the stop switch 50 is set for the lottery result of the role lottery, and the batting order set when the winning area where the batting order is set is won (correct batting order) Depending on whether or not a stop operation has been performed, the game results are formed differently. For example, when a stop operation is performed in the correct answer order, stop control is performed so that a specific small combination (correct combination) is always awarded depending on conditions. On the other hand, if the stop operation is not performed in the correct answer order, stop control is performed so that the correct answer combination is not won, other small roles (illegal answer) are won, or no combination is won. . During AT, when a winning area in which a batting order is set wins, a display for notifying the correct batting order is displayed. For example, the striking order of the stop switch 50 and the three stop switches 50 to be stopped first is displayed on the image display unit 67 by characters such as left, middle, and right and arrows. In addition, a light emitter should be provided inside the push button of the stop switch 50, which should be operated by turning on the light emitter, changing the light emission color, or outputting sound such as left and right from the speaker 69. The top switch 50 is notified.

Further, when notifying the indicator symbol, for example, as a role, a small role comprising a symbol array of “white 7 bell bell” “red 7 bell bell” “blue 7 bell bell” is provided, “White 7”, “Red 7”, and “Blue 7” are arranged on the left reel 41 at positions that cannot be aimed at the same time. Further, the bell symbol is arranged so as to be drawn on the effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 50. Then, depending on the winning small role, the symbol or color of “White 7”, “Red 7” or “Blue 7” is displayed on the image display unit 67, and the player performs a stop operation aiming at the winning symbol. It can be configured to notify as much as possible.
In any case, by performing a stop operation according to the notification, the winning combination can be won and an advantageous result can be obtained.

(Production data storage means 210)
The effect data storage means 210 includes, as effect data, image data for displaying a predetermined moving image or still image on the image display unit 67, light emission pattern data for lighting and blinking the lamp 68 in a predetermined manner, and the speaker 69. This is for storing audio data or the like for outputting predetermined audio.
As the effect data, a plurality of execution effect data having different contents, each of which is constituted by the image data, the light emission pattern data, and the sound data, are provided. These execution effect data are stored in the category table as effect groups grouped into different effect categories. The effect category is a classification of effects according to the contents, and the effects included in the same category are such that when a player sees the effect, the effect can be recognized as an effect of the same system. . Moreover, even if the same effect category is selected, various effects can be performed, and different effects can be performed depending on whether or not the AT transition lottery is won.

The effect data storage unit 210 includes a scenario data table 300 (see FIG. 3A) for causing a scenario effect to be executed along a scenario that is a scenario of the effect. The scenario data table 300 is arranged in order of scenario data that is referred to when performing in a predetermined unit period, which is one section in the progress of the game, in a time-series manner, so The execution schedule of the production to be performed in order is determined.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, the scenario data table 300 stores predetermined scenario data in each of the storage areas divided into a plurality of areas. However, it corresponds to one game (from a bet to the end of processing based on the game result judgment) as one unit period.

  Here, the scenario data is for specifying the aspect of the effect performed in the scenario effect such as “single shot”, “development”, and “continuation” shown in FIG. Of the scenario data, “single shot” refers to the effect that is completed in one game, and “continuation” refers to the effect that is executed over multiple games and the effect of the continuous effect that the story unfolds. is there. “Development” is a stage before the continuous production, and relates to the production mode for notifying that the continuous production is started. The “result” in the scenario data relates to a result display effect performed after the continuous effect. The result display effect includes a notification for notifying that the transition to the predetermined advantageous gaming state is confirmed and a notification for notifying that the transition to the advantageous gaming state is not confirmed. The notification notifying that the transition to the advantageous gaming state is confirmed is a notification notifying that the AT transition lottery has been won, and the notification notifying that the transition to the advantageous gaming state is not confirmed, It may be a notification notifying that the AT transfer lottery is not won. Specifically, if the continuous production is a battle production in which the main character battles an enemy character, if the AT transition lottery is won, a result display effect of the content that the main character wins the battle is performed, and the AT transition lottery If the player is not selected, the content that the hero loses to the battle and a result display effect that is a draw are performed. Furthermore, after the result display effect when the transition to the AT is confirmed (for example, at the end of the game or at the start of the next game), the start of the AT is notified.

  Specifically, scenario data for 36 games is defined in the scenario data table 300 as shown in FIG. That is, data for specifying “single shot” is stored in each of the first storage area corresponding to the first game which is the first unit period to the 31st storage area corresponding to the 31st game, Data for specifying “development” is stored in the 32nd storage area corresponding to the 32nd game, and 35 data corresponding to the 35th game from the 33rd storage area corresponding to the 33rd game. Data for specifying “continuation” is stored in each of the storage areas up to the eye, and data for specifying “result” is stored in the 36th storage area corresponding to the 36th game which is the last unit period. Stored. In this scenario data table 300, a single effect related to “single” is performed from the first game to the 31st game, an advanced effect related to “development” is performed in the 32nd game, and from the 33rd game to the 35th game. Is data capable of executing a scenario effect in which a continuous effect related to “Continue” is performed and a result display effect related to “Result” is performed in the 36th game. Hereinafter, the storage area where scenario data is stored in the scenario data table 300 is referred to as the first game and the second game of the scenario data table 300 for convenience.

The configuration of the scenario data table 300 and the number of games are not limited to the mode shown in FIG. For example, as scenario data set in the scenario data table 300 described above, in addition to “single shot” and “development”, a scenario presentation is not performed in the game, and a normal presentation (for example, a predetermined rule defined in the image display unit 67) “No effect” may be provided in which the content is displayed and an effect in which a special display corresponding to the game situation is not performed).
The category table described above is provided for each scenario data. For example, a predetermined category table is provided for “single shot”, and category tables are also provided for other scenario data such as “continue”. The category table corresponding to each scenario data is formed so as to differ depending on the corresponding scenario data. The “single shot” of the first game of the scenario data table 300 and the “single shot” of the second game of the scenario data table 300 are different. The production category may be different. For example, although not shown, even if “single shot” of the same scenario data, a plurality of types such as “single shot A” and “single shot B” are provided.

The effect data storage unit 210 also includes effect data other than the effect data related to the scenario effect described above, for example, data for notification regarding an AT game based on the control of the AT control unit 200, but the description thereof is omitted.
(Production execution control means 220)
The effect execution control means 220 controls the execution of effects, and includes at least an effect lottery means 221, a scenario setting means 222, an execution effect determination means 223, and a priority start determination means 224 as shown in FIG. . The effect execution control means 220 may include a game number counter for counting the number of games in addition to these means.

(Direction lottery means 221)
The effect lottery means 221 is an effect selection means, and performs the effect lottery according to the game situation such as the result of the role lottery. The effect lottery method is the same as the role lottery of the role lottery means 70 described above, and a random number for effect lottery picked up at a predetermined opportunity in the game (for example, operation of the start switch 30) is used as a predetermined effect lottery table. It is done by comparing with. Then, the effect selection unit 211 performs at least an effect execution lottery, a category lottery, an individual effect lottery, and a scenario lottery as the effect lottery by the effect lottery unit.
The effect execution lottery determines whether or not the effect is executed. The category lottery is to determine the effect category of the effect to be executed this time. In the individual effect lottery, an effect (individual effect) to be executed this time is determined from the effect group belonging to the selected effect category.

When the scenario lottery corresponds to a predetermined opportunity during the progress of the game, specifically, when the lottery opportunity that triggers the AT transition lottery is won as a result of the role lottery, the scenario shown in FIG. Using the lottery table, the mode of scenario production is determined. Then, when any scenario effect mode is determined by the effect lottery means 221 and execution of the scenario effect is determined by the execution effect determining means 223 described later, the scenario setting means 222 described below sets the scenario. To be done.
Further, the scenario lottery may be performed with other conditions as a trigger when the lottery trigger is not won. For example, when a scenario is not set by the scenario setting means 222, a scenario effect of a predetermined number of games (for example, 5 games) may be selected by the effect execution lottery described above. The scenario production in such a case and the scenario production in the case where the lottery opportunity is won are different even in the production corresponding to the same “single shot” in the scenario data. A scenario effect that suggests a transition to the AT state that is performed when a lottery opportunity that triggers an AT transition lottery is won will be referred to as a precursor effect. That is, the scenario lottery table shown in FIG. 3B shows a table for selecting the sign effect.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the AT transition lottery and the scenario lottery are performed simultaneously. In the scenario lottery table, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), a plurality of areas each having different presence / absence (atari, losing), presentation period (number of games), and whether or not to develop (AT state) α˜ε). The area α is a winning area for the witness effect of Atari in 32 games in which a result display effect that finally indicates the transition to the AT state is performed, and the region β is a result that indicates the final transition to the AT state. This is a winning area for the prognostic effect of the 36 games in which the display effect is performed. If execution of the atari precursor effect (present precursor effect) is determined, the transition to the AT state is determined, and the state shifts to the AT state after the precursor effect ends. On the other hand, the area γ is a winning area for the losing precursor effect of 32 games in which a result display effect that does not ultimately shift to the AT state is performed, and the region δ performs a result display effect that does not eventually shift to the AT state. The area ε is a winning area for the losing sign of 22 games that ends without being developed. When the execution of the losing precursor effect (false precursor effect) is determined, the transition to the AT state is not determined. In addition, the aspect of the scenario lottery table is an example, and is not limited to the illustrated contents. For example, there may be a winning area for a losing precursor effect of a predetermined number of games that develops but does not display a result.

Here, the contents of the sign indication of the loss other than “result” can be exactly the same as the contents of the sign indication of Atari, and the contents approximate to the sign indication of Atari (for example, characters of characters appearing in the same category effect) The color of the clothes is different). Alternatively, the losing sign production and the atari sign production may be different contents (for example, the story development of the continuous production is different).
Further, the scenario lottery is also performed when the lottery opportunity is won during the execution of the precursor effect. When a lottery opportunity is won during execution of the warning effect, the priority start determination unit 224 described later determines which warning effect is to be executed with priority. Note that the indication effect is being executed is a period in which an effect based on the scenario set for the indication effect is being executed.

When the scenario is set by the scenario setting unit 222, the effect lottery unit 221 causes the category lottery and the effect determination lottery to be performed for each game based on the scenario data referred to by the execution effect determining unit 223. Further, when no scenario is set, an effect execution lottery is performed.
(Scenario setting means 222)
The scenario setting means 222 sets a scenario of scenario presentation to be executed based on the scenario data table 300. Here, a case where a scenario of a precursor effect is set will be described.

Specifically, the scenario setting unit 222 selects a predetermined precursor effect in the scenario lottery of the effect lottery unit 221, and execution of the precursor effect is determined by the execution effect determining unit 223 (described later) In the case of setting), a unit period on the scenario data table 300 that is a start point and an end point when applying the scenario data is specified. By specifying the start point and end point of the scenario effect, a plurality of scenario patterns are generated based on the single scenario data table 300.
More specifically, the scenario setting means 222 identifies the start point and the end point of the sign effect according to the number and type of the sign effect selected by the effect lottery means 221 through the scenario lottery. For example, in the case where 32 game Atari precursor (α in FIG. 3B) is selected, the starting point is specified in the fifth game of the scenario data table 300 as shown in FIG. The end point is specified at the 36th game. Further, when the sign of the losing of 22 games ending without development (ε in FIG. 3B) is selected, the starting point is set to 1 in the scenario data table 300 as shown in FIG. 4B. The game is identified and the end point is identified for the 22nd game. Alternatively, when the Atari precursor effect (δ in FIG. 3B) of 22 games is selected, the starting point is specified in the 15th game of the scenario data table 300 as shown in FIG. 4C. The end point is specified at the 36th game.

  Then, after specifying the start point and end point of the scenario effect, information related to the scenario data set corresponding to the unit period from the start point to the end point (identification number for specifying scenario data, etc. Data) is stored in a predetermined scenario storage unit 400 (see FIG. 4). The scenario storage unit 400 is a RAM having a maximum of 36 individual areas, and all the individual areas are empty in the initial state. A plurality of scenario storage units 400 are provided. When the starting point on the scenario data table 300 is specified, the scenario specifying data corresponding to the unit period set as the starting point is stored in the top area (left side, area number 1 in the figure) of the scenario storage area. At the same time, the scenario specifying data corresponding to the end of the unit period is sequentially stored in each individual area of the scenario storage area. For example, when the start point is specified as 5 and the end point is specified as 36, each scenario from the scenario data set for the fifth game in the scenario data table 300 to the scenario data set for the 36th game Specific data is stored in 32 individual areas of the scenario storage unit 400 in the order of “single” scenario specifying data for the fifth game, “single” scenario specifying data for the sixth game, etc. (FIG. 4 (A)). As described above, the scenario setting means 222 identifies the start point and end point of the scenario effect, and the scenario sets that information regarding the scenario data is stored in the scenario storage unit 400 (scenario specific data is stored). Suppose that it was done. The scenario is set at the end of the game, and when the scenario is set, a precursor effect as a scenario effect based on the scenario is performed from the next game.

The scenario setting means 222 may set a scenario for a plurality of precursor effects at the same time, which will be described later.
(Execution effect determination means 223)
The execution effect determining means 223 is an effect executing means for determining and executing an effect to be executed.
That is, the execution effect determining means 223 determines the execution of the precursor effect when it corresponds to a predetermined opportunity (winning of the lottery opportunity), and when the execution of the precursor effect is determined, the scenario setting means for the precursor effect Based on the scenario set by 222, the effect for each game is determined.

  Specifically, the execution effect determining means 223 selects a predetermined sign effect by a scenario lottery based on the winning of the lottery trigger when the sign effect is not being executed (when the sign effect execution is not set). In the case where it has been done, a setting during execution of the precursor effect (for example, a running flag is set) is performed. Execution of the warning effect is determined by setting the warning effect. On the basis of this, the scenario setting means 222 sets the determined sign effect scenario. Then, each time the game is started (operation of the start switch 30), the execution effect determination means 223 sequentially refers to the individual areas of the scenario storage unit 400 set by the scenario setting means 222 from the top area, and specifies the stored scenario. Get the data. The individual area from which the execution effect determining means 223 has acquired the scenario specifying data is an already-referenced area and cannot be referenced again.

  When the execution effect determining unit 223 acquires the scenario specifying data, the effect lottery unit 221 performs category lottery using the category lottery table corresponding to the scenario data based on the scenario specifying data. When a predetermined effect category is determined in the category lottery, the effect lottery means 221 performs individual effect lottery using the effect data lottery table corresponding to the determined effect category, and the effect data related to execution is selected. Then, an effect in the game is executed based on the selected effect data. Thus, the execution effect determining means 223 acquiring the scenario specifying data corresponds to determining the effect of the game based on the scenario, and the execution effect determining means 223 refers to the individual area of the scenario storage unit 400. Obtaining scenario specific data corresponds to executing a scenario, that is, execution of a precursor effect. For convenience, it is assumed that the number of games of precursor effects is reduced by reducing the number of unreferenced individual areas by referring to the individual areas of the scenario storage unit 400.

Then, the execution effect determining means 223 executes all of the set scenarios during the execution of the sign effect, that is, the entire storage area of the scenario storage unit 400 (the scenario of the interrupted or suspended sign effect described later) When the reference is completed (including the storage unit 400), the setting during execution of the sign effect is canceled (for example, the execution flag is reset). When the setting for executing the sign effect is canceled, the effect lottery means 221 performs the effect execution lottery in the next game.
Note that the execution effect determining means 223 is prioritized based on the determination result of the priority start determination means 224 when a predetermined sign effect is selected in the scenario lottery based on the winning of the lottery trigger during execution of the sign effect. The warning effect determined to be executed automatically is determined, and the warning effect not determined to be executed preferentially is interrupted or reserved, which will be described later.

(Priority start determination means 224)
The priority start determination unit 224 determines a predicate effect to be preferentially executed among the predicate effects that are scenario effects selected by the scenario lottery of the effect lottery unit 221. In other words, the priority start determination unit 224, when a predetermined trigger effect is selected by a scenario lottery due to occurrence of a predetermined trigger (winning of a lottery trigger) when the precursor effect is not being executed, A determination to be performed with priority is made, and a predetermined trigger occurs during the execution of the previously selected precursor effect (the first precursor effect, hereinafter referred to as the advance effect), and the effect lottery means 221 performs a predetermined precursor effect by scenario lottery. When (second sign production, hereinafter referred to as late effect) is selected (hereinafter referred to as overlap selection), a determination is made to preferentially execute any one of the sign effects.

The priority start determination unit 224 includes a start lottery unit (not shown), and determines whether to give priority to the first-stage effect or to execute the second-stage effect according to the mode of the subsequent effect. Specifically, when the above-described overlapping selection occurs, the number of games set as the subsequent effect in the scenario lottery (see FIG. 3B) and the unreferenced individual in the scenario storage unit 400 of the initial effect The number of areas, that is, the number of remaining games of the starting effect is compared. Then, when it is determined that the number of games set for the subsequent effect is equal to or less than the number of remaining games of the initial effect, a start lottery for determining whether or not to start the subsequent effect is performed.
If the start lottery is unsuccessful, the priority start determination unit 224 determines that the starting effect is to be executed with priority. Based on this determination, the execution effect determining means 223 does not set the execution of the precursor effect for the subsequent effect (that is, does not determine the execution), and maintains the setting of the execution of the precursor effect for the preceding effect. In response to this, the scenario setting means 222 does not set the scenario for the subsequent effect, but maintains the setting of the scenario for the previous effect (holds the scenario storage unit 400 for the initial effect as it is). In this way, the subsequent production is discarded and the first production is executed to the end.

When the start lottery is won, it is determined that the late effect is executed with priority. Based on this determination, the execution effect determining means 223 sets the interruption for the first effect (for example, sets the interruption flag), and sets the execution of the warning effect for the subsequent effect. That is, the starting effect is interrupted and execution of the subsequent effect is determined. In response to this, the scenario setting means 222 stores the scenario specifying data in the scenario storage unit 400 for the subsequent effect, sets the scenario for the subsequent effect, and maintains the setting of the scenario for the initial effect.
Here, in the present embodiment, the execution effect determining means 223 obtains the scenario specifying data by sequentially referring to the individual areas of the scenario storage unit 400 corresponding to the subsequent effect being executed from the top, and at the same time, corresponds to the start effect. The scenario storage unit 400 to be referred to is sequentially referred from an unreferenced individual area, but is referred to without being acquired scenario specific data. That is, every time the number of games for the subsequent effects being executed is reduced, the number of remaining games for the first effects that are interrupted is also reduced.

Then, after referring to the entire area of the scenario storage unit 400 for the subsequent effect (after the end of the subsequent effect), the execution effect determining means 223 cancels the setting of the interruption of the first effect (for example, resets the interrupt flag and executes it) The middle flag is set), and reference is sequentially made from the first unreferenced area among the individual areas of the scenario storage unit 400 for the starting effect. Thereby, the late stage production is performed to the end in the middle of the first production, and then the first production is resumed and the remaining number of games is executed.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of games set as the subsequent effect is larger than the number of remaining games of the initial effect, the priority start determination unit 224 determines to execute the prior effect with priority. Based on this determination, the execution effect determining means 223 sets the hold for the subsequent effect (for example, sets the hold flag), and maintains the setting for executing the precursor effect for the previous effect. That is, the late effect is suspended and the execution of the late effect is continued. Based on this, the scenario setting means 222 stores the scenario specific data in each individual area of the scenario storage unit 400 for the subsequent effect, sets the scenario for the subsequent effect, and holds it as it is, and maintains the setting of the scenario for the previous effect. To do. In this case as well, as in the case of the interruption described above, the scenario specifying data is obtained by sequentially referring to the unreferenced individual areas of the scenario storage unit 400 corresponding to the starting advancement being executed, and at the same time the subsequent effect Although the individual areas of the corresponding scenario storage unit 400 are sequentially referenced from the top, they are treated as referenced without acquiring scenario specifying data. That is, every time the number of games of the starting effect being executed is reduced, the number of remaining games of the subsequent effect that is being held is also reduced.

Then, when the starting effect is finished, the execution effect determining means 223 cancels the setting of the hold (for example, resets the hold flag and sets the running flag), and the scenario storage unit 400 for the subsequent effect Refer sequentially from the first unreferenced area. Thereby, after the first stage production is executed to the end, the remainder of the later production is executed.
(Processing at the time of duplicate selection of precursor effects)
Next, a specific example of handling at the time of overlapping selection of precursor effects will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, A indicates that it is a starter and B indicates that it is a late starter. Moreover, the opportunity X and the opportunity Y show the winning of the lottery opportunity combination, and the lottery opportunity combination may be the same or different types. In the case of a different kind of combination, the indication effect that can be selected in the scenario lottery based on the winning of the combination may be different.

  FIG. 5 is an example when the start lottery is performed. As shown in FIG. 5A, at the occurrence of the opportunity X (first predetermined opportunity), the Atari effect A (the first effect, that is, the first sign effect) of 32 games is selected, and the effect A is started. It is assumed that an opportunity Y (second predetermined opportunity) occurs within 4 games and an effect B (a late effect, ie, a second precursor effect) of 22 games is selected. In this case, the effect B is executed in the middle of the effect A, but the number of games from the start to the end of the effect A is 32 games. Then, when the effect B is a mode in which the result display effect is performed (δ in FIG. 3B), the result display effect that does not shift to the AT state is performed in the final game of the effect B, but then the effect An effect related to “development” and “continuation” based on the scenario of A is executed, and a result display effect of shifting to the AT state is performed, and AT is started. Here, if the trigger Y occurs in the eighth game after the start of the production A, the result display production that does not shift to the AT state is performed in the final game of the production B, but then the AT based on the scenario of the production A A result display effect of transitioning to a state is performed. Alternatively, if the opportunity Y occurs in the ninth game after the start of the effect A, the end of the effect B and the end of the effect A are the same game. In this case, the “result” of effect B is replaced with the “result” of effect A so that a result display effect of shifting to the AT state is performed. In these cases, if the continuous effect is a battle effect, the result display effect is a reverse victory effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, when opportunity X occurs, attrition effect A of 36 games is selected, and opportunity Y occurs within 2 games after the start of effect A, and attribution effect of 32 games. Suppose B is selected. In this case, a result display effect of shifting to the AT state is performed in the final game of effect B, and then AT is started. In this case, after the end of the AT based on the opportunity Y, the precursor effect based on the remaining scenario of the effect A can be started, and after the end of the effect A, the AT based on the opportunity X can be started. When formed in this way, the winning of the AT transition lottery at the time of winning the lottery opportunity can be digested without omission. If the opportunity Y occurs in the third game after starting the production A, the end of the production B and the end of the production A are the same game. In this case, the AT based on both the opportunity X and the opportunity Y may be started at the same time (for example, the minimum guaranteed number of games is doubled), or after the execution of the AT based on the opportunity X, based on the opportunity Y You may make it start AT.

On the other hand, FIG. 6 shows an example in which the subsequent effect is started regardless of the start lottery, that is, the number of games of the subsequent effect is larger than the number of remaining games of the initial effect. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the opportunity X occurs, the loss game A of 22 games is selected, the trigger Y occurs during the execution of the effect A, and the Atari effect B of 32 games is selected. To do. In this case, effect A is executed to the end, and the remainder of effect B is executed after effect A ends. Then, after the effect B ends, AT based on the opportunity Y is started. When the effect B is related to the loss, a result display effect that does not shift to the AT state is performed in the final game of the effect B.
Also, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the opportunity X occurs, the Atari effect A of 32 games is selected, the opportunity Y occurs during the execution of the effect A, and the loss B effect of 32 games is selected. Suppose that In this case, a result display effect of shifting to the AT state at the end of effect A is performed, and then AT is started. In this case, after the AT based on the opportunity X ends, the precursor effect based on the remaining scenario of the effect B is started, and a result display effect that does not shift to the AT state is performed in the final game of the effect B. In addition, when the production B is related to Atari, the AT based on the opportunity Y is started after the production B ends.

  Here, in the start lottery, as shown in FIG. 7, whether to continue the production A that is the start or to start the production B that is the start depends on the Atari and Loss of the Production A, the Atari and Loss of the Production B It has become. That is, when both the production A and the production B are atari, or when both productions are lost, the probability that the production A continues and the probability that the production B is started is 50%. On the other hand, when the production A is Atari and the production B is losing, the rate that the production A continues and the rate at which the production B is started are three-to-one, and the probability that the production A continues is higher. When the production B is atari, the ratio that the production A continues and the rate at which the production B is started are set to be one to three, and the probability that the production B is started is set higher. In other words, the late effects can be selected more preferentially for those related to the hit than those related to the loss. As a result, the possibility that the result will be attrited in the late effect is increased, and the expectation when the lottery opportunity is won during the execution of the precursor effect can be enhanced.

In addition, it may be formed so that the start lottery is always won when the late stage production is related to atari, and the start lottery is always wrong when it is related to the loss.
(Production data output means 230)
The effect data output means 230 is effect execution means for outputting the effect data selected by the individual effect lottery of the effect lottery means 221 to a predetermined effect device 6 to execute the effect.
(Operation of slot machine 10)
Next, an outline of the operation of the slot machine 10 having the above configuration will be described based on the flow of FIG. FIG. 8 shows processing in one game based on the control of the main control device 21.

First, in step 100 shown in FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not a medal for playing a game is bet. The betting includes not only the insertion of medals and the operation of the bet switch 16, but also automatic betting processing by winning a re-gamer. If no bet is placed, the process returns to step 100. If a bet is placed, the process proceeds to the next step 101.
In step 101, it is determined whether or not the start switch 30 is turned on. If the start switch 30 is not turned ON, the process returns to step 101. If the start switch 30 is turned ON, the process proceeds to the next step 102.
In step 102, the role lottery means 70 performs a role lottery process. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 103.

In step 103, rotation start processing of the rotary reel 40 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 104.
In step 104, it is determined whether any one of the stop switches 50 is turned on. If the stop switch 50 is not turned on, the process returns to step 104. If any stop switch 50 is turned on, the process proceeds to the next step 105.
In step 105, the rotation stop process of the rotary reel 40 corresponding to the stop switch 50 that is turned on is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 106.
In step 106, it is determined whether all the rotary reels 40 have been stopped, that is, whether the stop switch 50 corresponding to the three rotary reels 40 has been operated. If all the rotating reels 40 are not stopped, the process returns to step 104. If all the rotating reels 40 are stopped, the process proceeds to the next step 107.

In step 107, a game result determination process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 108, and processing according to the game result is performed. That is, when a predetermined winning combination is won, a payout of a winning medal, a replay operation, and a transition process to a bonus game are performed, and one game is completed. If no winning combination is won, one game is finished as it is.
Next, the effect execution process based on the control of the sub-control device 22 will be described based on the flow of FIG. In FIG. 9, steps 200 to 202 indicate processing performed when the start switch 30 is operated, step 203 indicates processing performed after the start switch 30 is operated, and steps 204 and 205 indicate when the game ends (game result). This shows processing performed after the determination. Further, the main state such as the result of the role lottery is determined based on the input of an information signal output from the main control device 21 in accordance with the progress of the game.

First, in step 200 of FIG. 9, it is determined whether or not the precursor effect is being executed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the setting for performing the precursor effect is performed. If the precursor effect is being executed, in the next step 201, the process of executing the precursor effect is performed, and the process proceeds to step 204. On the other hand, when the precursor effect is not being executed, the process proceeds to step 202.
In step 202, effect determination processing is performed. That is, the effect lottery means 221 performs the effect execution lottery, determines the presence or absence of the effect, and performs the effect, the category lottery and the individual effect lottery. Then, an effect to be executed in this game is determined. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 203.

In step 203, an effect execution process is performed. That is, when the result of the effect execution lottery has an effect, the effect data of the effect determined based on the individual effect lottery, and when the result of the effect execution lottery has no effect, a preset effect (for example, predetermined Effect data) is output to the effect device 6 by the effect data output means 230, and the effect device 6 operates to perform a predetermined effect. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 204.
In step 204, it is determined whether or not the lottery opportunity has been won in the game. If the lottery winning combination has been won, in the next step 205, processing for winning the opportunity combination is performed. Then, the effect execution process ends. On the other hand, if the lottery opportunity has not been won, the step 205 is skipped and the effect execution process is terminated.

Next, the process for winning the opportunity in step 205 will be described based on the flow of FIG. In the figure, “effect A” indicates the first effect, that is, the predecessor effect selected independently, and “effect B” indicates the subsequent effect, ie, the pre-representation effect selected in duplicate.
First, in step 300 of FIG. 10, a scenario lottery process is performed. Then, in the next step 301, it is determined whether or not the precursor effect is being executed. If the sign effect is not being executed, the process proceeds to step 309, where the execution effect determining means 223 performs setting for effect A being executed. As a result, the scenario of effect A is set by the scenario setting means 222. And the process at the time of an opportunity winning combination is complete | finished. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 301 that the precursor effect is being executed, the process proceeds to the next step 302.

In step 302, the number of remaining games of the effect A being executed is compared with the number of games set for the effect B selected in the current scenario lottery. Then, in the next step 303, it is determined whether or not the number of remaining games of effect A exceeds the number of games set for effect B. If the number of remaining games of effect A exceeds the number of games set for effect B, the process proceeds to the next step 304.
In step 304, a start lottery process is performed. Then, in the next step 305, it is determined whether or not the start lottery is won. If the start lottery is not won, the process for winning the opportunity is ended. In this case, the setting of the scenario for the effect A is maintained as it is, and the effect B is discarded. On the other hand, when the start lottery is won, in the next step 306, the interruption is set for the effect A. Then, the process proceeds to Step 307.

In step 307, the setting during execution of effect B is performed. Thereby, the scenario of effect B is set. And the process at the time of an opportunity winning combination is complete | finished.
In step 303, when the number of remaining games of effect A does not exceed the number of games set for effect B, that is, when the number of remaining games of effect A is equal to or less than the number of games set for effect B, In step 307, the hold for the effect B is set. Note that the setting of the scenario for effect A is maintained as it is. And the process at the time of an opportunity winning combination is complete | finished.
Next, the processing during execution of the precursor effect in step 201 of FIG. 9 will be described based on the flow of FIG.

First, in step 400 of FIG. 11, it is determined whether there is a hold effect or a stop effect, that is, whether there is a prelude effect that is set to hold or a stop effect that is set to be interrupted. When there is a hold or interruption effect, in the next step 401, the individual area of the scenario storage unit 400 for the hold or interruption effect is referred to, and in step 402, the already-referenced setting is made for the referenced individual area. Is called. That is, the number of on-hold or interrupted games is reduced. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 403.
If it is determined in step 400 that there is no hold or interruption effect, the process skips steps 401 and 402 and proceeds to step 403.

In Step 403, the storage area of the scenario storage unit 400 of the precursor effect being executed is referred to, and scenario specifying data is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 404.
In step 404, an effect lottery process is performed based on the acquired scenario specifying data. That is, a category lottery and an individual effect lottery are performed. In the next step 406, the already-referenced setting is performed for the referenced individual area. In other words, the number of pre-play games that are being executed is reduced. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 407.
In step 407, it is determined whether or not the entire area of the scenario storage unit 400 has been referenced. That is, it is determined in step 406 whether or not the last individual area has been referred to. Whether or not it is the last individual area can be determined based on whether the next area is empty or a predetermined end mark is attached to the area. If the entire area has not been referred to, the process is terminated as it is. If the entire area has been referred to, the process proceeds to the next step 408.

In step 408, it is determined whether there is a hold or interruption effect. If there is a hold or interruption effect, in the next step 409, an execution setting is performed for the precursor effect related to the hold or interruption. Then, the processing during execution of the precursor effect is ended. On the other hand, if there is no hold or interruption effect, in step 410, the setting during execution of the warning effect is canceled. Then, the processing during execution of the precursor effect is ended.
Note that the scenario setting unit 222 may reset the scenario when the precursor effect is resumed when the precursor effect is interrupted or suspended. Specifically, the scenario specifying data stored in the remaining individual areas is deleted for the scenario storage unit 400 corresponding to the starting effect that is resumed after the interruption is released or the subsequent effect that is started after the hold is released. At the same time, the start and end points of the scenario data table 300 may be specified, and the scenario specifying data may be newly stored again.

Alternatively, when the subsequent effect is put on hold, the scenario setting means 222 ensures only the number of games (the number of individual regions) without storing the scenario specifying data in each individual region of the scenario storage unit 400 for the subsequent effect. It may be. In this case, after the end of the first effect, the scenario specifying data is stored between the unreferenced first individual region and the last region (that is, the remaining individual regions) in the scenario storage unit 400 for the subsequent effect, Set the scenario for the number of remaining games in the late stage production.
(Summary)
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a predetermined trigger (winning lottery trigger) that triggers the execution of the warning effect occurs during the execution of the warning effect, the warning effect that is being executed (starting effect) If the number of games set in the subsequent effect is less than the number of remaining games in the first effect, the remaining number of games is compared with the number of games set in the precursor effect (later effect) selected based on a predetermined opportunity. In the start lottery, it is determined whether or not to start the subsequent production. Thereby, the sign production based on the winning of the lottery opportunity can be executed without omission as much as possible.

Moreover, in the start lottery, the probability of winning (determined to start) is higher in the case of an atari precursor effect where the result display effect of transitioning to the AT state is performed, so it is won as a lottery opportunity In the event that a prelude production is started, there is a high possibility that it will shift to the AT state after that, so that the reliability of the lottery trigger will be improved and the player will not be distrusted or discomforted. Can do.
Further, when the number of games set as the subsequent effect exceeds the number of remaining games of the previous effect, the subsequent effect is started unconditionally after the end of the first effect. Thereby, the sign production based on the winning of the lottery opportunity can be executed without omission.

Because it is formed in this way, when a lottery opportunity is assigned, the production of the scolding is performed with high probability, and the result is reflected, so that the player does not think that it is “defeat” The merchantability of the slot machine 10 can be improved.
And, every time the number of games of the precursor effect that is being executed is reduced, the number of remaining games of the precursor effect that has been interrupted or suspended is also reduced. The effect is executed by the number of unit periods obtained by subtracting the number of unit periods corresponding to the suspended or suspended period from the number of remaining unit periods when suspended or suspended. For this reason, when the sign effect is selected and duplicated, the sign effect corresponding to the generated lottery trigger can be executed as efficiently as possible in a short period of time without unnecessarily prolonging the effect period.

  In this embodiment, an example in which two precursor effects are selected redundantly is described, but the present invention can also be applied to a case where three or more precursor effects are selected redundantly. For example, when one precursor effect is interrupted or put on hold and it corresponds to a predetermined trigger, the currently executed precursor effect is set as the first effect, and the newly selected precursor effect (third effect) is set as the subsequent effect. , To determine the prelude production to be preferentially started. When the third effect ends after the first effect (when the number of games set for the third effect is larger than the number of remaining games of the first effect. See FIG. 6A), the third effect At the start of the first stage, the predecessor effect that is put on hold may be used as the first effect, the third effect may be performed later, and the precursor effect that is preferentially started may be determined.

(Modification)
In the above-described embodiment, a scenario lottery that also serves as an AT shift lottery is performed in response to the winning of a lottery trigger. However, the AT shift lottery and the scenario lottery are performed separately. It may be. For example, AT lottery is performed at the time of winning the lottery opportunity, and when winning, the type of precursor effect is determined using a scenario lottery table for Atari, and in the case of unwinning, a scenario lottery table for lose is used The type of sign production may be determined.
Further, the AT transition lottery and the scenario lottery are not limited to the case where the lottery opportunity combination is won, but may be performed when a specific symbol combination is displayed, such as when the lottery opportunity combination wins. Alternatively, when a ceiling is provided until the next AT start, the game is executed when the number of games remaining up to the ceiling reaches a predetermined number (in this case, only the Atari precursor effect is selected). Even if the number of games remaining up to the ceiling is not a predetermined number, the game is executed when a winning lottery performed at a predetermined opportunity is won (in this case, only a sign effect of losing is selected). Good. Even in these cases, it is possible to determine which of the first effect and the second effect is to be preferentially executed in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment.

In the above-described embodiment, the number of games of the prelude effect suspended or held is reduced while the predecessor effect is being executed. You may make it start the warning effect suspended or suspended after completion | finish of a starting effect, without reducing a number.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the internal lottery state is almost always inside the bonus, and has the gameability of increasing the number of balls by the AT inside the bonus. It is applicable even if it is not. Specifically, as a bonus combination, an RB (regular bonus) in which a regular bonus game (RB game) that makes it easy for a small combination to win by increasing the winning probability of a small combination by playing a prize, or an RB by winning a prize A big bonus game (BB game) in which the game is continuously generated is provided, and the internal lottery state includes a normal state, a bonus inside state, a bonus operation state, and an RT (replay time) state. Provide. The RT state is an internal lottery state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is set to be different from the normal state, and when a specific transition opportunity is won during the normal state, the RT state is set in advance. It returns to the normal state by digesting the number of games, winning a specific role, or displaying a specific symbol combination. If a bonus combination is won during the RT state, the process proceeds to the inside of the bonus. Then, when the AT shift lottery is won at a predetermined opportunity, the state shifts to an ART (assist replay time) state in which a notification for assisting the winning of a small role is performed on condition that the internal lottery state is the RT state. To do. When the AT transition lottery is won, but the internal lottery state is the normal state, a notification for shifting the internal lottery state to the RT state, that is, a notification for winning the transition trigger is performed. Even in the case of having such a specification, it is possible to perform the same treatment as in the above-described embodiment in the indication effect suggesting the transition to the AT state performed based on a predetermined opportunity.

Further, the indication effect is not limited to suggesting the transition to the AT state, but may be indicative of winning of the bonus combination (BB). For example, in the role lottery, the BB and a specific small role (such as cherry) are set to be won in duplicate, and a specific small role may be won alone. Then, not only when a BB and a specific small role are won in duplicate, but also when a specific small role is won alone, a sign effect that suggests winning of the BB may be performed. The former case is a real sign effect, and the latter is a false sign effect.
In the present invention, the predetermined unit period is not limited to one game period as long as it is one section in the progress of the game. For example, a period between operations that are sequentially performed in order to advance a game in one game may be set as one unit period. Specifically, period 1 from when the rotating reel 40 starts to rotate until the first stop switch 50 is operated, from when the first stop switch 50 is operated to when the second stop switch 50 is operated. Period 2 and period 3 from when the second stop switch 50 is operated to when the third stop switch is operated can be set as one unit period. Alternatively, the period 1 from when the bet switch 16 is operated until the start switch 30 is operated, the period 2 from when the start switch 30 is operated until the first stop switch 50 is operated, the first stop switch 50 The period from the operation until the second stop switch 50 is operated 3 and the period 4 from the operation of the second stop switch 50 to the operation of the third stop switch are each set as one unit period It is good. Further, it may be possible to set a scenario for each unit period described above over a plurality of games. The category lottery in this case is executed at the start of each unit period (when each operation switch is operated).

The present invention can also be applied to gaming machines other than slot machines. For example, the present invention can be applied to a parrot game machine that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium to perform a game similar to a slot machine.
Further, the present invention provides a variable display game in which a plurality of pictures are displayed in a predetermined manner in a predetermined manner and then stopped after a game ball launched into the game area wins a start winning opening. As a result of the variable display game, the combination of the stopped and displayed patterns becomes a special combination set in advance, resulting in a predetermined hit (special game state), and the special variable prize winning device can easily accept the game ball Thus, the present invention can also be used for a pachinko gaming machine in which a player can acquire a large amount of game balls based on winning of a lot of game balls in a special variable winning device. In this case, the scenario effect is an effect (for example, displayed on a liquid crystal screen) continuously performed over a plurality of variable display games, with one change of the variable display game (from the change start to the change stop) as one unit period. Production with a storyline). In addition, special states that can give more profits than the normal state can be big hits, hits, small hits, hits with probability changes, hits with time reductions, and the like.
