Accordingly, a predetermined effect can be executed in the display area 51a, and the reels 2L and 2C arranged in parallel inside the housing 1a through the transparent window 3 through the transmission area 51b of the display area 51a. 2R (hereinafter also referred to as a left reel, a middle reel, and a right reel) becomes visible. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of each reel. On the reels 2L to 2R, a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified are arranged in a predetermined order. The number of reels is not limited to three, and may be one or two or more. Moreover, although the variable display part has shown the example comprised by the physical reel, you may be comprised by image display apparatuses, such as a liquid crystal display.

  At the lower right of the liquid crystal display 51, a medal insertion portion 4 into which medals can be inserted is provided, and at the lower part of the front door 1b, a medal payout opening 9 through which medals are paid out and speakers 53, 54 are provided.

  Further, as an example of the operation means, the front door 1b is set with a specified number of bets determined according to the gaming state within the credit range stored as the gaming value (the number of medals) owned by the player. The MAXBET switch 6 that is operated when the game is performed, the settlement switch 10 that is operated when the credit and the set bet number are settled and returned, the start switch 7 that is operated when the game is started, and the reels 2L to 2R Stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R and the like that are operated when stopping the rotation are provided.

  The front door 1b is provided with a game display unit 13 for notifying information related to a game as an example of a notification unit. The game display unit 13 includes a credit display 11 that displays the number of medals stored as credits, a game auxiliary display 12 that displays a medal payout number and an error code when an error occurs, and a set bet. 1BETLED14 for informing the number, 2BETLED15, 3BETLED16, insertion request LED17 for informing that the medal can be inserted, start valid LED18 for informing that the game can be started by operating the start switch 7, start switch Waiting LED 19 for notifying that the weight is in a state of waiting for the start of rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R since a certain period of time has not elapsed since the start of the previous game, after the replay winning Replay to inform you that you are in a replay game LED20 is provided in.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, a predetermined number of bets (for example, 3) are set by inserting medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. If medals are inserted with the bet number set, the amount is added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line for determining whether a combination of symbols displayed on the see-through windows 3 of the reels 2L to 2R is a winning symbol combination. In the present embodiment, an example in which only one winning line LN is provided will be described. However, a plurality of winning lines may be provided. In addition, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided to make it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the winning line is aligned with the winning line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are not determined as winning lines, but when a combination of specific winning symbols (so-called disparity) is aligned on the winning line LN, any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 has a predetermined symbol. By aligning the combinations (for example, bell-bell-bell), it is easy to recognize that a combination of symbols constituting a specific prize is arranged on the winning line LN.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L to 2R are rotated to display the symbols variably, and when the stop switches 8L to 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. The three symbols are derived and displayed as display results on the upper, middle, and lower stages of the fluoroscopic window 3. When a combination of winning symbols stops on the winning line LN and a winning occurs, a predetermined number of medals are given to the player according to the winning and the credit is added or the credit reaches the upper limit (50). In this case, medals are paid out from the medal payout exit 9.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the internal structure of the slot machine 1. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the slot machine 1. In the example of FIG. 4, a game control board 40 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands according to the progress of the game, an effect control board 91 that controls a predetermined effect according to the command, and a drive power supply for the electrical components A power supply board 101 for generating a signal and an external output board 1000 for outputting a signal according to the progress of the game to the outside are provided.

  The game control board 40 advances the game based on detection signals from switches such as various operation means and detection means (illustrated on the left side of the game control board 40 in FIG. 4), and notifies means (game control in FIG. 4). Display devices such as the example on the left side of the substrate 40 are driven and controlled. Further, the game control board 40 drives and controls the reel motors 32L to 32R based on signals from the reel sensors 33L to 33R.

  A circuit configuration (illustrated in the game control board 40 in FIG. 4) such as the main control unit 41 is mounted on the game control board 40. The main control unit 41 performs processing related to the progress of the game, and directly or indirectly controls the configuration mounted on or connected to the game control board 40. The main control unit 41 is a one-chip microcomputer and includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an I / O port, and the like.

  The effect control board 90 drives and controls an effect device such as the liquid crystal display 51 (illustrated on the left side of the effect control board 90 in FIG. 4). The effect control board 90 is mounted with a circuit configuration such as the sub-control unit 91 (illustrated in the effect control board 90 of FIG. 4). The sub-control unit 91 receives a command transmitted from the game control board 40, performs a process of performing an effect, and directly or indirectly controls a configuration mounted on or connected to the effect control board 90. The sub-control unit 91 is a one-chip microcomputer and includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an I / O port, and the like. A hopper motor 34b, various operation means and detection means (illustrated on the right side of the power supply board 101 in FIG. 4) and the like are connected to the power supply board 101.

  FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. The name column indicates the name of the winning combination, and the symbol combination column indicates the combination of symbols in which the winning combination becomes a winning. In addition, in the symbol combination column that is aligned with the invalid line, a symbol combination that is easy to be recognized by the player and is a combination of symbols that stop on the invalid line when the winning symbol combination stops on the winning line. Yes. In the payout number column, values (medal payout, replay grant) given at the time of winning are shown. In addition, the gaming state column in FIG. 6 shows the gaming state to be transferred when winning. “/” Indicates “or”. For example, for the fall replay of FIG. 6, the symbol combination is “Bell-Replay-Bell”, which is controlled by RT1 at the time of winning, and the value given is a replay grant.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a symbol combination of the transition outcome. For the transition, left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 are elected, the reels other than the reels that are the winning criteria for the middle bell are the first stop, and the top bell that is elected is dropped In the case of a match, the outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. When the transition outcome stops on the winning line LN during RT0, 2, 3, the routine proceeds to RT1.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT. In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the end condition is satisfied after the start condition is satisfied among RT0 to RT3 that are replayed with a predetermined winning probability (refer to the numerical value in the re-gamer column in the upper diagram of FIG. 9). Until one of the corresponding RTs is controlled (see the winning combination or the outcome shown along the arrow in FIG. 8, refer to the start condition / end condition column in the upper diagram of FIG. 9). The types of replays to be internally drawn are determined for each RT type (circles in the lower diagram of FIG. 9 indicate replays to be drawn).

  FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are diagrams showing combinations of lottery object combinations that are read as lottery object combinations for each gaming state. The lottery target role column indicates the name, and the game status column indicates that the lottery target role is subject to lottery for each RT type, and the winning probability is indicated by the numerical value under the circle. The number of judgment values involved is indicated. For example, the bell is a lottery target winning combination in 360/65536 in any state of RT to RT3.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating combinations of winning combinations included in a lottery target combination. For example, the weak cherry is the lower cherry. The weak watermelon includes a right-down watermelon, an upper watermelon, and a middle watermelon. Therefore, when the weak watermelon is won in the internal lottery, it means that the right-down watermelon, the upper watermelon, and the middle watermelon are won.

  13 and 14 are diagrams for explaining reel control when a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously won. When a winning operation is performed in the pressing order shown in the pressing order column for each selected lottery object, the reel control is performed so that the winning symbol combination shown in the symbol combination to the right stops on the winning line LN. For example, when the replay GR1 is won, the promotion replay 1 is derived when the pressing order is left middle right, and the normal replay is derived when the pressing order is other than left middle right. Also, for example, when the left bell is elected, if the pushing order is the first left stop, the lower right bell is derived, and if the pushing order is other than the first left stop, the upper bell or the transition start Is derived.

  In the narrow sense, “game” in the slot machine 1 refers to a period from when the start switch 7 is operated to when the reels 2L to 2R are stopped. Since the medals are paid out and the game state is shifted after the reels 2L to 2R are stopped, these incidental processes are also included in the “game” in a broad sense.

  The main control unit 41 performs a game control process to control one game. In the game control process, first, a BET process for setting a bet amount and performing a credit settlement / a bet settlement is performed. When the start switch 7 is operated after setting the bet amount, an internal lottery process for determining whether or not winning is allowed (internal lottery) is performed by random lottery (see FIG. 10 to FIG. 12, etc.). When the internal lottery process ends, a reel rotation process is performed. In the reel rotation process, after a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the start of reel rotation in the previous game, after the reels 2L to 2R start to rotate, the stop switches 8L to 8R are activated. And the rotation of the reel is stopped according to the stop operation (see FIGS. 13 and 14).

  When the reels 2L to 2R are stopped and the reel rotation process is completed, a winning determination process is performed to determine whether or not a winning has occurred based on the symbol combination on the winning line (see FIGS. 5 to 7 and the like). . When the winning determination process ends, a payout process is performed. In the payout process, medals are paid out or credits are added according to the occurrence of a winning, and the gaming state is shifted according to the symbol combination on the winning line (see FIG. 8, FIG. 9, etc.). Thereby, the game control process for one game is completed, and the game control process for the next one game is started.

  The main control unit 41 performs a process of generating a freeze that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period when the delay condition is satisfied during execution of the game control process. The delay condition may be satisfied, for example, by winning or winning a predetermined winning combination or when the number of digested games reaches a predetermined number of games. The target to be delayed may be, for example, the timing at which the betting number can be set, the timing at which the reel rotation for the game progress is started, the timing at which the stop switch for the game progress is activated, or the like.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 transmits a command capable of specifying the progress of the game and the processing result according to the execution of the processing exemplified above to the sub-control unit 91. The sub control unit 91 performs various processes based on commands from the main control unit 41.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs, for example, an AT lottery process for lottering whether or not to control to an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) when a predetermined AT lottery opportunity is established, and is determined to be controlled by the AT, and the AT winning is determined. Then, after performing AT notification processing for notifying the player of AT winning when a predetermined AT winning notification trigger is established, AT control processing for controlling to AT is performed. In the AT lottery process according to the present embodiment, whether or not to provide navigation stock is determined, and the number of navigation stocks is determined in the case of granting, and in the AT control process, the AT is controlled according to the number of navigation stocks that are assigned. . One Navistock can be controlled by the AT until, for example, 50 games are consumed. In the AT notification process, the navigation stock is notified of the winning of the AT or the navigation stock given by the winning of the AT.

  Further, during AT, the sub-control unit 91, when receiving a command transmitted when winning a predetermined lottery role shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 by an internal lottery process, selects a symbol combination advantageous to the player. A navigation effect capable of specifying an operation procedure (push order) for stopping on the winning line LN is executed. For this reason, a player becomes advantageous by being controlled by AT. Advantageous symbol combinations are, for example, promotion replay when winning replays GR1-6, normal replaying when winning replays GR11-13, special replaying when winning replays GR21-23, winning left bell 1 to right bell 4 Sometimes referred to as a right-down bell or middle bell.

[About selection processing]
The sub-control unit 91 performs a predetermined selection process based on the command, for example, when a weak watermelon is won, and then shifts to a chance zone where the degree of advantage of the AT lottery increases. In the selection process, a mode selection screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the player is allowed to select a mode related to the AT lottery opportunity and the AT winning notification opportunity in the chance zone to be subsequently transferred from a plurality of types of modes. Processing is performed. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining a mode selection screen when selection processing is performed. When the selection process is started, as shown in FIG. 15A, the sub-control unit 91 displays a mode selection screen that allows the player to select a mode on the liquid crystal display 51. In the example of FIG. 15A, A mode, B mode, and random mode are displayed as options 508.

  In the mode selection screen, for example, the cursor 510 is moved (the mode is selected) by operating the MAXBET switch 6, and the mode in which the cursor is located is determined by operating the start switch 7. Exit the mode selection screen. As a method for selecting and determining the mode, other methods (for example, a method for selecting and determining with the voice of the player) may be used.

  In addition, when a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses without the mode being determined by the player after the mode selection screen is displayed, the main control unit 41 can select any one of the A mode, the B mode, and the random mode. Randomly determine whether or not to display the mode selection screen. Based on the content of the operation by the player, the sub-control unit 91 is executed during the chance zone, for example, which of the effects to be executed (for example, the screen display of FIGS. 15B, 15C, 15D). Screen display). Further, the sub-control unit 91 may execute an effect based on the operation content of the player without making the determination.

  When the display of the mode selection screen is finished, the game is controlled to a 10 game chance zone. When the period is controlled by the chance zone, the expected value for the increase in the number of navigation stocks to be granted and the number of navigation stocks given compared to the period in the non-chance zones not controlled by the chance zone Becomes higher. Therefore, if it is controlled to the chance zone, it is advantageous for the player. The AT lottery opportunity in the chance zone is determined according to the determined mode. The chance zone is also a period during which an AT lottery opportunity and an AT winning notification opportunity corresponding to the set mode are valid.

  FIG. 15B shows a notification screen when the A mode is determined. On the notification screen when the A mode is determined, the letters “A mode replay is a chance” are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. This display allows the player to recognize that “A mode has been determined and that the AT lottery opportunity is all replay winning”. All-replay winning means that one of all the replays (normal replay to replay GR23) shown in FIG. 11 wins. When the screen of FIG. 15B is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the screen shifts to a chance zone after A mode determination (hereinafter referred to as chance zone A). During chance zone A, all replay wins are determined as AT lottery triggers, and lever-on operation (operation with start switch 7) is determined as AT win notification triggers.

  Further, during the chance zone A, the character A is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the characters “A mode” are displayed at a predetermined position (for example, upper left) of the liquid crystal display. By this display, the player can confirm the mode determined by the player. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 15E, all of the 10 games in the chance zone A are won in all replies. When one of the replay winnings occurs in the chance zone A, an AT lottery opportunity is established, and it is possible to have a sense of expectation for winning the AT.

  The result of the AT lottery in the chance zone A is a final game in the chance zone A, and is notified when an AT winning notification opportunity corresponding to the A mode is established. When the AT is won, as shown in FIG. 15H, the characters “2 Navi Stock Get” are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the AT winning notification is executed.

  FIG. 15C shows a notification screen when the B mode is determined. On the notification screen when the B mode is determined, the letters “B mode bell is a chance” are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. With this display, the player can recognize that “B mode has been determined and that the AT lottery opportunity is all-bell winning”. “All bells” means that one of all the bells (bell to right bell 4) shown in FIG. 11 wins. When the screen of FIG. 15C is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the screen shifts to a chance zone (hereinafter referred to as chance zone B) after the B mode is determined. During the chance zone B, all-bell winning is determined as an AT lottery opportunity, and a third stop operation (third stop operation) is determined as an AT winning notification opportunity.

  Further, during the chance zone B, the character B is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and a character “B mode” is displayed at a predetermined position (for example, upper left) of the liquid crystal display. By this display, the player can confirm the mode determined by the player. In the example shown in FIG. 15F, all of the 10 games in the chance zone B win 3 bells. In the chance zone B, when any one of the bell winnings is generated, an AT lottery opportunity is established, and it is possible to give a sense of expectation for winning the AT.

  The result of the AT lottery in the chance zone B is a final game in the chance zone B, and is notified when an AT winning notification opportunity corresponding to the B mode is established. When the AT is won, as shown in FIG. 15I, the characters “2 Navi Stock Get” are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and AT winning notification is executed.

  Next, the case where the random mode is determined by the player will be described. When the random mode is determined by the player, the main control unit 41 is randomly selected by random number lottery or the like, and either the A mode or the B mode is determined, and the same AT lottery opportunity and AT winning notification as the determined mode are determined. Determined by opportunity. For example, the probability that the A mode or the B mode is determined may be 50%. When the random mode is determined by the player, the player cannot determine whether the A mode or the B mode is set until the screen of FIG. 15J is displayed. ) Is displayed, the player can determine the set mode.

  The AT lottery opportunity when the random mode is determined is an opportunity according to a mode set at random among the A mode and the B mode. In other words, when the random mode is determined by the player and the A mode is set, the AT lottery trigger is all-lip winning, and when the B mode is set, the AT lottery trigger is all-bell winning. . Moreover, the AT winning notification opportunity when the random mode is determined is an opportunity according to a mode set randomly among the A mode and the B mode. That is, when the random mode is determined by the player, when the A mode is set, the AT winning notification trigger is a lever-on operation, and when the B mode is set, the AT winning notification trigger is the third Stop operation.

  Further, when the random mode is determined by the player, it cannot be determined whether the A mode or the B mode is determined. Therefore, the player cannot determine the AT lottery opportunity when the random mode is determined. Thereby, it is possible to make the player think that the AT lottery opportunity is all lip winning or all bell winning. Also, the player cannot determine the AT winning notification opportunity when the random mode is determined. Thereby, it is possible to make the player think that the AT winning notification opportunity is the lever-on operation or the third stop.

  FIG. 15D shows a notification screen when the random mode is determined. On the notification screen at the time of determining the random mode, the characters “random mode ???” are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. With this display, the player can recognize that “the random mode has been determined”, but cannot determine the AT lottery opportunity. When the screen of FIG. 15D is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the screen shifts to a chance zone (hereinafter referred to as chance zone C) after the random mode is determined.

  During chance zone C, an AT lottery opportunity and an AT winning notification opportunity corresponding to the set mode are defined as an AT lottery opportunity and an AT winning notification opportunity.

  In the chance zone C, the character C is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the characters “???” are displayed at a predetermined position (for example, upper left) of the liquid crystal display. With this display, the player can confirm that the random mode has been determined. In the example shown in FIG. 15G, all of the 10 games in the chance zone C have won all rips, and all 3 games have won all the bells. In addition, when the random mode is determined, it is possible to make the player think that the AT lottery opportunity is all-lip winning or all-bell winning. Therefore, when one of the replay prizes and one of the bell prizes is generated, an AT lottery opportunity is established, and it is possible to have a sense of expectation for winning the AT. That is, when the random mode is determined, it is possible to increase opportunities (games) for giving the expectation more than when either the A mode or the B mode is determined.

  The result of the AT lottery in the chance zone C is a final game in the chance zone C, and is notified when an AT winning notification opportunity corresponding to the set mode is established. Here, when the random mode is determined, since the AT winning notification opportunity cannot be determined by the player, the AT winning notification may be notified both at the time of lever-on operation and at the third stop. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation and to improve the interest of the game. When the random mode is determined and the AT is selected, as shown in FIG. 15 (J), a character 512 that can specify the mode set at random is also displayed together with the character 512 “2 Navi Stock Get”. Informed. The message 512 informs that the B mode has been set.

[About AT lottery processing]
The AT lottery process is performed with reference to a predetermined AT lottery table. FIG. 16 is an AT lottery table used in the AT lottery process when controlled by RT1. In the example of FIG. 16, the AT lottery opportunity at the time of chance zone control is all-bell winning when the A mode is set, all rep winning when the B mode is set, and AT at the non-chance zone control The lottery opportunity is a weak cherry or a strong cherry. In the example of FIG. 16, for example, when all the bells are won, the probabilities determined for each of the navigation stocks 0 to 4 are defined as 60%, 15%, 25%, 0%, and 0%. The navigation stock provision probability at the time of winning the other combination is as shown in FIG.

In the example of FIG. 16, when the A mode (all rep winning) is set, the expected number of navigation stocks that can be given in the chance zone (10 games) is as follows. As shown in FIG. 11, the probability of winning all reps during RT1 control (that is, the sum of winning probabilities of all replays) is 8964/65536.
10 × (8964/65536) × (0 × 0.4 + 1 × 0.2 + 2 × 0.2 + 3 × 0.1 + 4 × 0.1) ≈1.8
Similarly, when the B mode (all-bell winning) is set, the expected value of the number of navigation stocks that can be given in the chance zone (10 games) is about 1.8. When the random mode is set, the mode is set to either the A mode or the B mode, so the expected number of navigation stocks that can be given in the chance zone (10 games) is about 1.8. That is, regardless of whether the A mode, the B mode, or the random mode is set, the expected value of the number of navigation stocks that can be given in the chance zone is about 1.8.

  The AT lottery opportunity when controlled in the non-chance zone is a weak cherry win and a strong cherry win, and the expected value of Navistock that can be awarded in 10 games in the non-chance zone is 0.03 . Therefore, when controlled to the chance zone, the AT lottery rate is higher than when controlled to the non-chance zone, which is advantageous to the player.

Next, main effects obtained by this embodiment will be described.
(1) In this embodiment, there are A mode, B mode, and random mode as modes that can be selected by the player. Since the AT lottery opportunity in the A mode is all lip winning and the AT lottery opportunity in the B mode is all bell winning, the AT lottery opportunity is different between the A mode and the B mode (see FIG. 15). Further, when the random mode is determined, either the A mode or the B mode is set at random, and the player cannot determine the set mode (see the description of FIG. 15D). Therefore, when the random mode is determined, the player cannot specify the AT lottery opportunity. Therefore, when the random mode is determined, when any of the bells or any of the replays wins, the player has a sense of expectation that an AT lottery opportunity according to the set mode may have been established. Can be held in. At the same time, the player can be given a sense of tension (pounding feeling) due to the fact that the AT lottery opportunity cannot be specified. Furthermore, when the random mode is determined, in the chance zone, a game in which any one of the replays wins a game (game in which the replay is won), a game in which any one of the bells wins ( In both of the games that the Bell has won, the player can have a sense of expectation that an AT will be won, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  (2) Further, the A mode AT winning notification opportunity is when the lever is operated, and the B mode AT winning notification timing is when the third stop is performed. When the random mode is determined by the player, the player cannot determine the set mode. Therefore, when the random mode is determined, the player cannot specify the AT winning notification opportunity. Therefore, when the random mode is determined, the player has a sense of expectation that an AT winning notification opportunity according to the mode set at the time of either the lever-on operation or the third stop may have been established. Can be held in. At the same time, it is possible to give a player a sense of tension due to the fact that the AT winning notification opportunity cannot be specified. Furthermore, when the random mode is determined and the AT is won in the chance zone, the AT win is not notified at the timing of both the lever-on operation and the third stop in the final game of the chance zone. This makes it possible for a player to have a sense of expectation and improve the interest of the game.

  (3) When a weak watermelon is won, a mode selection screen is displayed and the player can select a mode. Therefore, it is possible to give a premier feeling to the mode selection and to improve the fun of the game.

  (4) In addition, regardless of whether the A mode, the B mode, or the random mode is determined, the number of games in the chance zone to be controlled is 10 games. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unfair feeling caused by mode selection in the number of games in the chance zone.

  (5) When the random mode is determined, the randomly set mode is also notified at the time of AT winning notification (see FIG. 15J). Therefore, since the player can predict the set mode among the A mode and the B mode and can provide enjoyment such as whether or not the prediction is correct, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (6) Moreover, as demonstrated in FIG. 16, even if any is selected among A mode, B mode, and random mode, the number of navigation stocks which can be provided will become substantially the same. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unfair feeling caused by mode selection for the number of navigation stocks that can be given.

  (7) In addition, the player can determine either the A mode or the B mode. The AT lottery opportunity in the A mode is all-lip winning, and the AT lottery opportunity in the B mode is all-bell winning. Therefore, the mode can be selected according to the player's preference.

  (8) Further, when the random mode is determined and the AT is won in the chance zone, the fact that the AT has been won in the last game in the chance zone is notified. Therefore, when the random mode is determined, it is possible to make the player feel nervous about whether or not the AT is won until the final game in the chance zone. Also, when either the A mode or the B mode is determined, if the AT is won in the chance zone, the fact that the AT has been won in the last game in the chance zone is notified. Therefore, even when the A mode or the B mode is determined, it is possible to continuously give the player a sense of tension as to whether or not the AT game has been won until the final game in the chance zone. be able to.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment described above is replaced with a pachinko gaming machine. The pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment has a plurality of types based on the establishment of the variable display start condition that allows the start of variable display after the variable display execution condition is satisfied by passing the start area of the game medium (game ball). A variable display section for deriving and displaying the display result after starting the variable display of the identification information, and when the display result of the identification information derived and displayed on the variable display section is a predetermined specific display result As long as the variable winning device is controlled to a specific game state (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot) in which a round game in which the variable winning device is opened is executed a predetermined number of times. For example, “10 rounds of big hit” is a gaming state in which the variable winning device is opened 10 times for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). An image display device is provided near the center of the game area. When a specific condition is satisfied (for example, when a game ball passes a predetermined area or when a predetermined number of game balls are fired), the image display device displays, for example, a selection screen shown in FIG. Is displayed, and the mode can be selected by the player. The further structure which such a pachinko game machine has, and the effect show | played are demonstrated.

  (1) In this embodiment, there are A mode, B mode, and random mode as modes that can be selected by the player. When it is decided to control the jackpot, when the A mode is decided, it is controlled with a big hit of 10 rounds with a probability of 100%, and when the B mode is decided, eight rounds with a probability of 50%. Or 12 rounds of jackpot. When the random mode is determined, either the A mode or the B mode is set at random. When the random mode is determined by the player, the player cannot determine the set mode until the set mode is notified. Therefore, when it is determined that the jackpot is controlled when the random mode is determined, “it is determined that the jackpot is controlled for 10 rounds with 100% probability” and “50% probability. It is decided that it will be controlled by the jackpot of 12 rounds and it will be controlled by the jackpot of 8 rounds with 50% probability. Can be improved.

  (2) Further, when it is determined that the jackpot is controlled, the winning notification that the jackpot is controlled is executed before the jackpot is controlled. When the A mode is determined, the winning notification is executed using the image display device, and when the B mode is determined, a predetermined accessory (for example, a decorative member arranged at a predetermined position in the game area) is used. The winning notification is executed. That is, the mode of winning notification differs between the A mode and the B mode. The “winning notification using the image display device” is a notification in which characters such as “Congratulations on the big hit!” Are displayed on the image display device. Further, “winning notification using a predetermined accessory” is to notify that the jackpot has been determined by, for example, causing the predetermined accessory to emit light. When the random mode is determined by the player, the player cannot determine the set mode. Therefore, when the random mode is determined, the player cannot specify the winning notification mode. Therefore, when the random mode is determined, when it is determined that the jackpot is controlled, the player has a sense of expectation as to which of the image display device and the predetermined accessory will be used to perform the winning notification. And can enhance the fun of the game.

  Further, in the A mode and the B mode, the winning notification mode may be changed instead of changing the winning notification mode. For example, the trigger for the A mode winning notification is that the game ball passes through the first region, and the trigger for the B mode winning notification may be that the game ball passes through the second region.

  (3) In this embodiment, the mode selection screen is displayed when a specific condition is satisfied (for example, when a game ball passes a predetermined area or when a predetermined number of game balls are fired), and a mode is selected. Selection becomes possible. Therefore, it is possible to give a premier feeling to the mode selection and to improve the fun of the game.

  (4) In addition, regardless of whether the A mode, the B mode, or the random mode is determined, the expected value of the number of jackpot rounds is 10 rounds. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unfairness caused by mode selection in the number of rounds of jackpots.

  (5) When the random mode is determined, the randomly set mode is also notified at the time of winning notification (see FIG. 15J). Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to make a prediction as to which of the A mode and the B mode has been set, and to answer the prediction by notifying the randomly set mode. Can be made.

[Modification]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications and the like applicable to the present invention will be described. Further, at least two of the technical items described in the present embodiment described above and the technical items described in the following modifications may be implemented in combination, and the technical items described in the above-described embodiment. May be implemented by replacing the technical matters described in the following modified example, or the technical items described in the following modified examples may be further combined with the replacement. . Below, the modification of the slot machine 1 is mainly demonstrated, However, The said modification can also be demonstrated about a pachinko game machine.

[About Chance Zone]
(1) In the present embodiment, an example in which the result of the AT lottery is notified at the end of the chance zone and no notification is given when the AT winning opportunity is established has been described. So that the player's sense of expectation may be raised. In this case, when the set mode is the A mode or the B mode, a specific notification is made when an AT lottery trigger corresponding to the mode is established, and when the random mode is set, the AT lottery of the A mode The specific notification may be performed when any one of the trigger and the B mode AT lottery trigger is established. According to such a configuration, it is more than when either the A mode or the B mode is determined. When the random mode is determined, there are more opportunities (games) for specific notification to be executed, and the interest of the game can be improved. Further, the specific notification may be executed whenever an AT lottery opportunity is established, or may be executed with a predetermined probability (for example, 50%).

  (2) In the present embodiment, the number of games in the chance zone is not limited to 10 games, and may be other game numbers.

[About mode]
(1) In the present embodiment, the AT lottery opportunity between the A mode and the B mode is exemplified by an opportunity established by winning different predetermined winning combinations. However, if different occasions are defined, Not limited, it may be established by winning a predetermined winning combination. In addition, for a common winning combination, one AT lottery opportunity may be established by winning, and the other AT lottery opportunity may be established by winning. Further, the AT lottery opportunity between the A mode and the B mode is not limited to the one relating to the winning combination, and may be established when a predetermined event such as freezing occurs.

  (2) In the present embodiment, regarding the notification in the chance zone, the example in which the AT winning notification timing (timing) for notifying the AT winning is different between the A mode and the B mode has been described, but the AT winning notification timing is different. In addition to this, instead of or in addition to this, the AT winning notification mode may be changed. For example, when the A mode is set, the liquid crystal display 51 informs and when the B mode is set, the operation of a predetermined accessory (for example, a decorative member arranged at a predetermined position of the slot machine 1) ( For example, the notification may be made when a predetermined accessory emits light). Even in such a configuration, when the random mode is determined, when AT is won, it is expected that which one of the liquid crystal display 51 and a predetermined accessory will be used for AT winning notification is executed. Can be held by the player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the type of privilege to be granted is the same in the A mode and the B mode has been described, but the type of privilege to be granted may be different. For example, the privilege granted when the A mode is determined is set as a navigation stock, while the privilege granted when the B mode is determined is controlled to a specific state in which the navigation stock grant probability is improved. It may be good. According to such a configuration, when the random mode is determined, when it is determined that a privilege is to be granted, any of the privilege corresponding to the A mode and the privilege corresponding to the B mode is granted. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that it will be played, and to improve the interest of the game. In addition, even if the type of privilege to be granted differs between the A mode and the B mode, it is preferable that the expected value of the privilege is the same or substantially the same from the viewpoint of fairness.

  (4) In the present embodiment and “(1) to (3)”, in the A mode and the B mode, “AT lottery opportunity”, “AT winning notification opportunity”, “AT winning notification mode”, “assigned” An example in which the “type of benefit” is different has been described. However, about A mode and B mode, the other elements about the privilege provided may differ. Moreover, about A mode and B mode, at least 1 element should just differ among several elements about the privilege provided.

  (5) Further, the slot machine 1 has been described as using an AT winning notification and the pachinko gaming machine uses a predetermined accessory as an example of winning notification of control to a jackpot. However, for example, an AT winning notification using the operation unit may be executed by causing the operation unit operated by the player to perform a predetermined operation. Specifically, in the slot machine 1, the AT winning notification may be executed by vibrating at least one of the start switch 7, the stop switch 8, and the like. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine, the AT winning notification may be executed by vibrating a handle operation unit gripped by the player.

  (6) Further, in the embodiment of the present embodiment, the modes that are determined by the player and that can be discriminated by the player have been described as the two modes of the A mode and the B mode. The discriminable mode may be 3 or more.

  (7) In addition, the options of the present embodiment have been described as the A mode, the B mode, and the random mode. However, other example options may be configured as a mode notification mode and a mode non-notification mode. In the case of such a configuration, regardless of the player's operation, the slot machine 1 (main control unit 41) determines either the A mode or the B mode by random number lottery. The mode notification mode is a mode for notifying the mode (A mode or B mode) determined by random number lottery, and the mode non-notification mode is the mode (A mode or B mode) determined by random number lottery. This is a mode in which no notification is given. According to such a configuration, the player who wants to determine the determined mode only needs to determine the mode notification mode, and does not determine the determined mode, and the player wants to have a sense of expectation as to which mode is set. The person may determine the mode non-notification mode. Therefore, it is possible to provide a game according to the player's preference.

  (8) In the present embodiment, the specific condition for displaying the mode selection screen is described as weak watermelon winning. However, the specific condition may be another condition. For example, the specific condition may be a condition that is established when another specific combination is won, or may be a condition that is satisfied when the specific combination wins. Further, the specific condition may be a condition that is established by digesting a predetermined number of games.

[AT lottery]
(1) In FIG. 16, it has been described that the expected value of Navistock that can be given when winning all bells and the expected value of Navistock that can be given when winning all Lips are substantially the same. Expected values may be completely identical. Further, if the expected navigation stock values at the time of winning all the bells and winning all the rips are the same or substantially the same, the number of possible navigation stocks shown in FIG. 16 and the probability of giving the navigation stocks may be other values. . In the example of FIG. 16, the winning combination may be another winning combination if it is more advantageous to the player than the non-chance zone control. For example, during chance zone control, in addition to all-bell winning and all-lip winning, a weak cherry winning and a strong cherry winning may be used as an AT lottery opportunity.

  (2) In the present embodiment, it has been described that navigation stock is given as a privilege related to the AT game. However, the privilege related to the AT game is not limited to this, and may be, for example, the number of AT games.

  (3) The AT lottery table in FIG. 16 has been described as being used when controlled by RT1. However, when controlled by another RT, an AT lottery table corresponding to the other RT may be used. In addition, the AT lottery table is not only for AT first win (to win AT when the number of Navistock is 0) but also to AT extra win (to win AT when there are 1 or more Navistock or AT games) It may be used sometimes. Further, when a specific condition is satisfied during the AT (when a weak watermelon is won), a selection process may be executed so that the player is given an additional AT.

[About production]
(1) In this embodiment, when A mode or B mode was determined, it demonstrated that the effect which displays the character of the determined mode as an effect which can identify the determined mode was performed. (See (B) or (C) of FIG. 15). However, as an effect in which the determined mode can be specified, information that can specify a set mode (for example, a character corresponding to the mode) may be displayed without being limited to characters.

  (2) In the present embodiment, when the random mode is determined, the set mode is set as an effect that cannot be specified, and before the chance zone control, as shown in FIG. It has been described that characters are displayed and the characters “???” are displayed on the upper left of the liquid crystal display 51 during the chance zone control. However, any effect may be executed if the set mode cannot be specified when the random mode is determined. For example, it is good also as the effect which displays the image which applied the mosaic to the information (for example, character corresponding to a mode) which can specify the set mode, or the image painted in black.

  (3) Further, when the random mode is determined, the set mode may not be “specifically unspecified”, but the set mode may be “specifically difficult”. The effect in which it is difficult to specify the set mode may be an effect of displaying the set mode only for a short period (for example, 0.1 seconds), for example. In addition, an effect in which it is difficult to specify the set mode may be specified as an effect that a player with a lot of gaming experience can be specified but a player with a little gaming experience cannot be specified. For example, when the random mode is determined and the A mode is set at random, the character A ′ that is not related to the A mode is displayed. When the B mode is set at random, the character A ′ is not related to the B mode. Character B ′ may be displayed.

  (4) When the random mode is determined, no effect may be executed. According to such a configuration, when the random mode is determined, it is possible to reduce the burden of the effect execution process as compared with the present embodiment while making it impossible to specify the set mode. Further, when the A mode and the B mode are determined, the random mode is determined when the random mode is determined without performing the effect (see FIGS. 15B and 15C) that can specify the determined A mode and the B mode. You may make it perform the production (refer FIG.15 (D)) which can specify a mode.

  (5) Although the production of the present embodiment has been described as the production using the liquid crystal display 51, the production is not limited to this, and other production means (production effect LED 51, speakers 53 and 54, reel LED 55 in FIG. 4). ) May be performed using at least one of the above. Further, the effect may be executed in any manner as long as the event that is intended to be recognized by the player can be recognized. Further, if the event that is intended to be recognized by the player can be recognized, the effect may not be executed. For example, when the A mode is determined, an effect corresponding to the A mode is executed, and when the random mode is determined, the set mode executes an effect that cannot be specified. When the B mode is determined, the effect may not be executed. Further, the message 514 shown in FIG. 15 (J) may be notified not by the final game in the chance zone but by a game won by AT.

[About benefits]
As a privilege, as the number of navigation stocks, the percentage of the game value given to the player (medal or game) relative to the game value used to play the game (number of medals bet, game balls struck) The value that directly affects the payout rate of the ball) was illustrated. However, the privilege is not limited to this, and may be a value that is beneficial to the player in the progress of the game. For example, information that informs whether or not it is in the so-called AT latency that has been acquired non-AT but has already acquired the number of AT games and has been determined to be controlled by AT, or notification When this is done, information that is executed so as to actually become an AT latent state with a predetermined reliability (that is, latent suggestion information that suggests an AT latent state) may be notified.

  In addition, as a privilege, execution of privilege production (special character appearance, etc.), execution of set value suggestion production to suggest a set value that has been set, in a game shop where gaming machines are installed by collecting a certain number Points may be exchanged for a defined service, a QR code (registered trademark) that can download bonus video and bonus information on a predetermined website may be displayed.

[Others]
