ことを特徴とする。 (1) To achieve the above object, a slot machine according to the first aspect of the present invention provides:
A variable display unit (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable,
In the slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which the variable display unit is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and a winning can be generated according to the display result.
Prior determination means (for example, the process of step Sd2 executed by the main control unit 41) for determining whether or not the occurrence of the winning is permitted before the display result is derived;
Derivation operation accepting means (for example, the process of step Sk21 executed by the main control unit 41) for accepting a derivation operation (for example, an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) for deriving the display result;
Validity period (for example, stop switch 8L during home passing process is performed, 8C, operations 8R is enabled period) when said deriving operation accepting means in accepting the derivation operation, the predetermination means Derivation control means (for example, processing of steps Sk23 to Sk25 executed by the main control unit 41) for performing control for deriving the display result according to the determination result;
After the determination of whether or not the winning is permitted by the pre-determining unit, the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R before the non-valid period (for example, the process when passing through the origin is executed) is invalidated. Effective period control means (for example, the process of step Sk20 executed by the main control unit 41) for performing control to shift from the effective period to the effective period;
Operation mode notification means (for example, processing of steps Se10, Se13, Sf1 to Sf4 executed by the sub control unit 91) for notifying the operation mode of the derivation operation,
The derivation control means, in a specific operation mode (for example, correct answer pressing order), when the determination result of the prior determination means becomes a specific determination result (for example, push order replay or internal win for the push order bell). When the derivation operation is accepted, a specific display result (for example, a winning combination that is more advantageous to the player than the winning combination when the push order is incorrect) is derived, and the derivation operation is identified with an operation mode different from the specific operation mode. Deriving a display result that is different from the display result (for example, winning combination when the push order is incorrect)
When the determination result of the prior determination unit is the specific determination result, the operation mode notification unit is configured to have a predetermined timing (for example, before the timing at which the effective period control unit shifts from the ineffective period to the effective period) In addition, the specific operation mode is notified in a first notification mode (for example, a mode in which the small navigation images 501, 503, 505, and 507 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51) until the timing immediately before the process at the time of passing through the origin) ( For example, the sub-control unit 91 executes the processes of steps Sf1 and Sf2), and the second notification mode (for example, large navigation images 502, 504, 506, and 508 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 from a timing later than the predetermined timing). The specific operation mode is notified (for example, the sub-control unit). 1 executes the processing of step Sf1, Sf3, Sf4)
It is characterized by that.

このような構成によれば、再遊技表示結果が導出された後であっても、投入された遊技媒体が、再遊技導出時更新手段による賭数の更新が開始されてから検出された遊技媒体であることにより、当該遊技媒体に応じて遊技用価値を更新することができる。このため、再遊技表示結果が導出された後における遊技用価値の更新が賭数の設定よりも先に行われることを防止できる。その結果、違和感を抱かせることなく、再遊技表示結果が導出された後における遊技者の利便性を向上させることができる。また、再遊技表示結果が導出された後において遅延制御が行われ、遊技媒体が投入されて遊技媒体検出手段による検出結果が解除用結果となることで遅延制御が解除される。これにより、遊技者に対して、再遊技表示結果が導出されることにより賭数が更新される場合においても、遊技媒体を投入しなければ次のゲームを開始できず、遊技媒体が投入されたことにより次のゲームが開始できるようになったように思わせることができる。

Thus, the game value can be updated according to the game medium. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the game value from being updated before the betting amount is set after the re-game display result is derived. As a result, it is possible to improve the convenience of the player after the re-game display result is derived without causing a sense of incongruity. Further, after the re-game display result is derived, delay control is performed, and the game medium is inserted, and the detection result by the game medium detection means becomes the release result, so that the delay control is released. As a result, even when the bet number is updated by deriving the replay display result for the player, the next game cannot be started unless the game medium is inserted, and the game medium is inserted. This makes it seem that the next game can be started.

Notification of the specific operation mode is started from the timing at which the start switch 7 is operated by the player), and the variable display start timing (for example, the sub-control unit 91 rotates the reel) The specific operation mode is notified in a first notification mode (for example, a mode in which the small navigation images 501, 503, 505, and 507 are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51) until the start command is received) (for example, a sub-control unit) 91 executes steps Sf1 and Sf2), and the second notification mode is started from the variation display start timing. The specific operation mode is notified (for example, the sub control unit 91 is configured to output the navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54 while displaying the large navigation images 502, 504, 506, and 508 on the liquid crystal display 51). Steps Sf1, Sf3, Sf4 are executed)
It is characterized by that.
According to such a configuration, when the player recognizes the change in the notification mode based on the effective period for accepting the derivation operation, the operation of the derivation operation means becomes effective while making the player recognize the specific operation mode. Since the timing can be suggested, the burden on the player can be reduced as compared with the slot machine in which the notification mode does not change.
