Right storage means for storing the first right and the second right determined to be granted by the right grant determination means;
First advantageous state control means for consuming the first right and controlling it to a first advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than usual when the first right is stored in the right storage means; ,
When the second right is stored in the right storage means, the second right is consumed and controlled to a second advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state. Advantageous state control means;
With
The right grant determining means grants the first right or the second right when the specific condition is satisfied even when the first right or the second right is stored. Can be determined,
The slot machine may grant the second right when it is determined that the specific condition is satisfied and the second right is granted when the first right is reserved. Further comprising right changing means for changing the first right stored before being determined to the second right;
The specific condition is established based on the fact that it is determined by the pre-determining means that the specific winning is permitted.

The slot machine of means 1 of the present invention is:
The game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value, and a variable display device (reel 2L, 2C, 2R) is a slot machine (slot machine 1) in which one game is finished by deriving the display result and winning can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device,
Right grant determining means (AT lottery) for determining whether or not to grant the first right (Navistock 1) or the second right (Navistock 2) when the specific condition is satisfied;
Rights storage means for storing the first right (Navistock 1) and the second right (Navistock 2) (Navistock 1 storage area, Navi) Stock 2 storage area)
When the first right (Navistock 1) is stored in the right storage means (Navistock storage area), the first right (Navistock 1) is consumed, which is more advantageous for the player than usual. First advantageous state control means for controlling to a first advantageous state (AT of 40 to 50 games on average);
When the second right (navistock 2) is stored in the right storage means (navigator stock storage area), the second right (navistock 2) is consumed and more than the first advantageous state. Second advantageous state control means for controlling to a second advantageous state advantageous for a player (AT of 200 games on average);
With
The right grant determining means grants the first right or the second right when the specific condition is satisfied even when the first right or the second right is stored. Can be determined,
When the slot machine determines that the specific condition is satisfied and the second right (Navistock 2) is granted when the first right is reserved, the second right is stored. It is further characterized by further comprising right changing means for changing the first right (Navistock 1) stored before it is decided to grant the right to the second right (Navistock 2).
According to this feature, when it is determined to grant the second right in the first advantageous state or the second advantageous state, the right is stored in the right storage means before the second right is granted. The first right with the first advantageous state is changed to the second right with the second advantageous state, which is more advantageous than the first advantageous state. In addition, when the first advantageous state or the second advantageous state is controlled, it is more likely that the first right is reserved in the final stage than in the early stage during the period. If it is decided to grant the second right in the advantageous state or the second advantageous state, the first stage or the second advantageous state becomes more advantageous in the early stage than in the first stage. When controlled to one advantageous state or the second advantageous state, the interest can be continued until the end.
Note that the first advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than usual is that the probability that the occurrence of a specific prize is allowed to be higher than usual is increased, or an operation mode for deriving a display result that is advantageous to the player. For example, a gaming state in which more value for gaming can be expected than usual is obtained by notifying information advantageous to the player.
Further, the second advantageous state that is more advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state is a state in which the average value of the number of games to be controlled is larger than that in the first advantageous state, and the game is more advantageous than the first advantageous state. A state with a high probability that the number will be added, a state where the average value of the number of games to be added is larger than the first advantageous state, a state where the probability that a specific winning is permitted is higher than the first advantageous state, A state in which there is a high probability that information advantageous to the player is notified, such as an operation mode for deriving a display result advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state, and the number of times information advantageous to the player is notified A state where the average value is large, a state where the continuation rate is higher than the first advantageous state, and a game value acquisition amount (which can be either cumulative or net increase) which is an end condition than the first advantageous state is set large. State, first advantageous state Well as a state in which the first rights or second rights are granted on favorable terms it is true.

The control clock CCLK generated by the control clock generation circuit 42 is supplied to the clock circuit 502 via the control external clock terminal EXC of the main control unit 41 as shown in FIG. 5A, for example. The random number clock generation circuit 43 generates a random number clock RCLK that is an oscillation signal having a predetermined frequency different from the oscillation frequency of the control clock CCLK, outside the main control unit 41. The random number clock RCLK generated by the random number clock generation circuit 43 is supplied to the random number circuit 509 via the random number external clock terminal ERC of the main control unit 41 as shown in FIG. 5A, for example. As an example, the oscillation frequency of the random number clock RCLK generated by the random number clock generation circuit 43 may be set to be equal to or lower than the oscillation frequency of the control clock CCLK generated by the control clock generation circuit 42.

  The switch detection circuit 44 takes in detection signals input from switches connected directly to the game control board 40 or via the power supply board 101 and transmits them to the main control unit 41. The motor drive circuit 45 transmits the motor drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. The solenoid drive circuit 46 transmits the solenoid drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to the flow path switching solenoid 30. The LED drive circuit transmits the LED drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to various displays and LEDs connected to the game control board 40. The power interruption detection circuit 48 monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 41 when a voltage drop is detected. The reset circuit 49 provides a system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in a state where the power is unstable, such as when the power is turned on or when the power is turned off. The reset circuit 49 has a built-in watchdog timer 49a (see FIG. 5B). When the watchdog timer 49a times out, that is, when the operation of the CPU 505 of the main control unit 41 stops for a certain period of time, A user reset signal is given to the control unit 41.

  FIG. 5A shows a configuration example of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40. The main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5A is a one-chip microcomputer, and includes an external bus interface 501, a clock circuit 502, a specific information storage circuit 503, a reset / interrupt controller 504, a CPU 505, and a ROM 506. A RAM 507, a CTC (counter / timer circuit) 508, a random number circuit 509, a PIP (parallel input port) 510, a serial communication circuit 511, and an address decode circuit 512.

  The external bus interface 501 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5A is an interface function between the external bus and the internal bus of the chip constituting the main control unit 41, the address bus, the data bus, and the direction of each control signal. A bus interface having a control function and the like. For example, the external bus interface 501 is connected to an external memory or an external input / output device externally attached to the main control unit 41, and transmits / receives address signals, data signals, various control signals, and the like to / from these external devices. Anything to do. In this embodiment, the external bus interface 501 includes an internal resource access control circuit 501A.

  The internal resource access control circuit 501A controls access to internal data of the main control unit 41 from an external device via the external bus interface 501, and stores internal data such as a game control program and fixed data stored in the ROM 506, for example. This is a circuit for limiting inappropriate external reading. Here, a circuit analysis device such as an in-circuit emulator (ICE) may be connected to the external bus interface 501 as an external device.

  The clock circuit 502 provided in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that generates the internal system clock SCLK by, for example, dividing the oscillation signal input to the control external clock terminal EXC by two. In this embodiment, the control clock CCLK generated by the control clock generation circuit 42 is input to the control external clock terminal EXC. The internal system clock SCLK generated by the clock circuit 502 is supplied to various circuits such as the CPU 505 that control the progress of the game in the main control unit 41. The internal system clock SCLK is also supplied to the random number circuit 509 and used to monitor the frequency of the random number clock RCLK supplied from the random number clock generation circuit 43. Further, the internal system clock SCLK may be output from the system clock output terminal CLKO connected to the clock circuit 502 to the outside of the main control unit 41. It is desirable that the internal system clock SCLK is not output to the outside of the main control unit 41. As described above, by limiting the external output of the internal system clock SCLK, it becomes difficult to specify the operation cycle of the internal circuit (such as the CPU 505) of the main control unit 41 from the outside. In the case of updating by this, it is possible to prevent the random number update cycle from being specified externally.

  The unique information storage circuit 503 included in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that stores a plurality of types of unique information serving as internal information of the main control unit 41, for example. As an example, the unique information storage circuit 503 stores three types of unique information such as a ROM code, a chip individual number, and an ID number. The ROM 506 code is a 4-byte numerical value generated from stored data in a predetermined area of the ROM 506, and four numerical values with different generation methods may be prepared. The chip individual number is a 4-byte number assigned when the main control unit 41 is manufactured, and indicates a different numerical value for each chip constituting the main control unit 41. The ID number is an 8-byte number assigned when the main control unit 41 is manufactured, and indicates a different numerical value for each chip constituting the main control unit 41. Here, it is sufficient that the chip individual number can be read from the user program while the ID number cannot be read from the user program. The unique information storage circuit 503 may be included in the ROM 506 by using a predetermined area of the ROM 506, for example. Alternatively, the unique information storage circuit 503 may be included in the CPU 505 by using a built-in register of the CPU 505, for example.

  The reset / interrupt controller 504 provided in the main control unit 41 is for controlling various resets and interrupt requests generated inside or outside the main control unit 41. The reset controlled by the reset / interrupt controller 504 includes a system reset and a user reset. The system reset is a reset that occurs when a low level signal (system reset signal) is input to the external system reset terminal XSRST for a certain period. The user reset is performed when a low level signal (user reset signal) is input to the external user reset terminal XURST for a certain period of time, or when a time-out signal of the built-in watchdog timer (WDT) is generated, or when running outside the specified area. This reset is caused by a predetermined factor such as the occurrence of prohibition (IAT). In this embodiment, as described above, since the watchdog timer (WDT) mounted on the reset circuit 49 is used without using the built-in watchdog timer, a user reset signal is input to the external user reset terminal XURST. Alternatively, a user reset occurs when the out-of-designated area travel prohibition (IAT) occurs.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, a reset circuit 49 incorporating a watchdog timer 49a is mounted on the game control board 40. The reset circuit 49 outputs a system reset signal to the main control unit 41 until the power supplied to the slot machine 1 becomes a stable voltage and a predetermined time elapses. When the watchdog timer 49a times out, a user reset signal is output to the main control unit 41.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (B), in the game control board 40, among the signal lines connected from the LED drive circuit 47 to the credit display unit 11, the drive signals of the plurality of segments constituting the credit display unit 11 are below. The signal line of the 1 digit B segment signal, the lower 1 digit C segment signal, the upper 1 digit B segment signal, and the upper 1 digit C segment signal is branched and connected to the watchdog timer clear signal terminal of the reset circuit 49 via the or circuit. Has been.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls to dynamically light any one of the lower 1 digit B segment, the lower 1 digit C segment, the upper 1 digit B segment, and the upper 1 digit C segment of the credit indicator 11. In order to dynamically light these segments, if the main control unit 41 is operating normally, one of the drive signals of these four segments should be output periodically. It is possible to determine whether or not the main control unit 41 is operating normally by monitoring whether or not the drive signal of any one of the segments is periodically output.

  A signal obtained by combining the drive signals of these four segments into one via the or circuit is input to the watchdog timer clear signal terminal of the reset circuit 49, and the watchdog timer 49a is cleared. The output of the drive signals of the four segments is stopped, the watchdog timer 49a is not cleared, and the user reset signal is output to the main control unit 41 when time is up.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the segment signal of the LED to which the drive signal is given periodically is branched to clear the watchdog timer 49a, and the CPU 505 of the main control unit 41 individually monitors the watchdog timer 49a. This is preferable because it is possible to monitor whether or not the main control unit 41 is operating normally without performing the process of clearing the watchdog timer, but the watchdog timer clear signal terminal of the reset circuit 49 from the main control unit 41 The watchdog timer 49a may be cleared by inputting an individual clear signal.

  In the present embodiment, the watchdog timer 49a is mounted on the reset circuit 49 provided outside the main control unit 41, but the main control unit is used by using the watchdog timer built in the main control unit 41. The operation of 41 may be monitored.

  Interrupts controlled by the reset / interrupt controller 504 include a non-maskable interrupt NMI and a maskable interrupt INT. The non-maskable interrupt NMI is an interrupt that is unconditionally accepted even when the CPU 505 is in an interrupt-disabled state. When a low level signal is input to the external non-maskable interrupt terminal XNMI (also used as the input port P4) for a certain period of time. An interrupt that occurs. The maskable interrupt INT is an interrupt that can permit / prohibit acceptance of an interrupt request by a setting instruction of the CPU 505, and multiple interrupts can be executed by setting priority. The maskable interrupt INT is caused by the fact that a low level signal is input to the external maskable interrupt terminal XINT (also used as the input port P3) for a certain period of time, a time-out occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC 508, Multiple types of interrupt factors are determined in advance, such as the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to data transmission in the serial communication circuit 511 and the occurrence of an interrupt factor due to the acquisition of numerical data as a random value in the random number circuit 509. It should be.

  The CPU 505 provided in the main control unit 41 executes processing for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1 by executing the program read from the ROM 506. At this time, the CPU 505 reads out fixed data from the ROM 506, the CPU 505 writes various data to the RAM 507 and temporarily stores the data, and the CPU 505 stores various data temporarily stored in the RAM 507. The CPU 505 receives the input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501 or the PIP 510, and the CPU 505 receives the input of various signals via the external bus interface 501 or the serial communication circuit 511. A transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 is also performed.

  As described above, in the main control unit 41, the CPU 505 executes control according to the program stored in the ROM 506. Therefore, the main control unit 41 (or CPU 505) executes (or performs processing) below. Specifically, the CPU 505 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on boards other than the game control board 40.

  A ROM 506 provided in the main control unit 41 stores a user program for game control, fixed data, and the like. The ROM 506 stores a security check program 506A. The CPU 505 reads the security check program 506A stored in the ROM 506 when the main control unit 41 shifts to the security mode in response to the power-on of the slot machine 1 or the occurrence of a system reset, and whether the storage content of the ROM 506 has been changed. Execute security check processing to check whether or not. The security check program 506A may be stored in a built-in memory different from the ROM 506. Further, the security check program 506A may correspond to a security check process for inspecting the storage content of the external memory externally attached to the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, for example.

  A RAM 507 provided in the main control unit 41 provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 507 may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power source. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, at least part of the contents of the RAM 507 is stored for a predetermined period. In this embodiment, all areas of the RAM 507 are backup RAMs, and all contents of the RAM 507 are saved for a predetermined period even when power supply to the slot machine is stopped.

  The CTC 508 provided in the main control unit 41 includes, for example, an 8-bit programmable timer built in 3 channels (PTC0 to PTC2), and includes a timer circuit capable of generating a real-time interrupt and measuring time. Each programmable timer PTC0-PTC2 has a timer value that is updated in response to a change in the count clock signal generated based on the internal system clock SCLK (for example, a falling timing that changes from a high level to a low level). If it is good. In addition, the CTC 508 may incorporate, for example, an 8-bit programmable counter with 4 channels (PCC0 to PCC3). Each of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3 is only required to have its count value updated in response to a signal change of the internal system clock SCLK or occurrence of a timeout in any of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3. The CTC 508 resets the start time of the random number generated by the free run counter used for randomly determining the extension time (variable setting time) for extending the security time for each system reset or the random number circuit 509. A free-run counter or the like that is used for randomly determining each may be included. Alternatively, these free-run counters may be included in an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 different from the CTC 508 such as a backup area of the RAM 507, for example.

  A random number circuit 509 included in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that generates numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as a 16-bit random number. In the present embodiment, on the game control board 40 side, numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery to be described later is controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. The CPU 505 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 509 based on the numerical data extracted from the random number circuit 509 to process or update various numerical data by software, thereby indicating numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery. May be counted. In the following, it is assumed that numerical data indicating random numbers for internal lottery is not processed by software from numerical data extracted by the CPU 505 from the random number circuit 509 serving as hardware. The random number circuit 509 may be incorporated in the main control unit 41 or may be externally attached to the main control unit 41 as a random number circuit chip different from the main control unit 41. .

  The random number for internal lottery is a value used to determine whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings, and takes a value in the range of “0” to “65535” in this embodiment.

  The PIP 510 included in the main control unit 41 is, for example, a 6-bit input dedicated port, and includes an input port P0 to an input port P2 serving as a dedicated terminal and an input port P3 serving as a function shared terminal and an input port P5. . The input port P3 is also used as an external maskable interrupt terminal XINT connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P4 is also used as an external non-maskable interrupt terminal XNMI connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P5 is also used as the first channel reception terminal RXA used by the serial communication circuit 511. The use setting of the input port P3 to the input port P5 is instructed by the function setting KFCS stored in the program management area.

  An address decoding circuit 512 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 is a circuit for decoding each functional block in the main control unit 41 and a chip select signal that is a decoding signal for an external device. . By the chip select signal, an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or an external device as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 505.

  The ROM 506 provided in the main control unit 41 stores various selection data and table data used for controlling the progress of the game, in addition to the game control user program and the security check program 506A. For example, the ROM 506 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables, and the like prepared for the CPU 505 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. The ROM 506 stores table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 505 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the game control board 40.

  The RAM 507 provided in the main control unit 41 is provided with a game control data holding area 590 as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1. For example, a DRAM is used as the RAM 507, and a refresh operation is required to maintain the stored data contents. The CPU 505 has a built-in refresh register for performing this refresh operation. For example, the refresh register consists of 8 bits, and the lower 7 bits are automatically incremented each time the CPU 505 fetches an instruction from the ROM 506. Accordingly, the stored value in the refresh register is updated every execution time of one instruction in the CPU 505.

  The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the serial communication circuit 511. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 receives the detection state of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the input port. The main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from these input ports.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed at a certain time interval (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment) when a timeout occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC 508.

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order. An interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process is completed, a new interrupt will occur at that point. It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as a basic process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect, and the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 that performs drive control of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, When the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a and a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90 are detected. The switch detection circuit 96 outputs time information including date information and time information. The power supply voltage supplied to the timepiece device 97 and the slot machine 1 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power drop detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, etc. , And the sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing effects, and directly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. To control automatically or indirectly.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the number of input system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. If the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power interruption process (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 507, which will be described later. In addition to the storage, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 507. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of the values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 507. For this reason, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 at the time of activation, regardless of whether the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis And the processing state of the main control unit 41 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 507 on the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the data for destruction diagnosis is also correct. However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or the value of the destruction diagnosis data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state. However, the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the normal error state, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the above-described setting change state. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 507 is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 507 is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 507. However, only the data stored in the RAM 507 that is necessary for returning to the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up and the power is turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a non-saved work, a general work, a special work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  Important work items include various indicators, LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counters, and other data that can be inconvenient to initialize, as well as the RT flag and RT remaining game count described below. Work to be done. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 507 is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, the total number of medals paid out in the BB, and a game state flag described later. The special work is a work that stores data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the setting is started. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 507, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the in-use stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 507 when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, when a RAM error occurs, when the BB ends, and when the setting key switch 37 is turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and transitions to a setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 507, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the area of the RAM 507 includes the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area, that is, the area from the general work to the unused stack area. It is initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is in an off state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 507 is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 507 are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a RAM abnormality error occurs at the time of power-on or the like, initialization 1 is executed, and the control state before that is initialized. The RT flag and the RT remaining game number assigned to are held without being initialized. On the other hand, the gaming state flag assigned to the general work is initialized as initialization 1 is executed.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, as described above, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (usually inside, BB (RB)) is determined, and is determined according to the gaming state. The game can be started on the condition that the specified number of bets has been set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the game state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery described later and set a winning flag for the winning combination in the RAM 507.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the winning flag for a special role is won, even if the combination of characters allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM 507 is set to the lottery work assigned to the RAM 507. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming state flag for specifying the gaming state, and the RT described later are specified. The determination is made according to the number of determination values of each combination determined according to the value of the RT flag, the number of bets, and the set value.

  The random value storage work is a storage area in which numerical data latched simultaneously with the operation of the start switch 7 is stored. Every time new numerical data is latched, the latched numerical data is processed by a timer interruption process thereafter. The numerical data read in (main) and stored in the random value storage work is updated to the latest numerical data latched newly.

  In the internal lottery, an internal lottery target, a current gaming state flag value, an RT flag value, and the number of determination values determined corresponding to the set value are stored in a random number for internal lottery (a lottery work). When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 507. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 506 when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel is described. To explain, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and it is possible to stop the reel by drawing in a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting a stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  When a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the winning small role is the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line. The number of sliding frames is fixed so that it can be drawn to the limit, and for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be drawn in the range of up to 4 frames in the winning line, the winning special role is in the range of 4 frames in the winning line Then, a stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so as to be pulled in as much as possible is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. When a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn in, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  In this example, when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. If the selected special role is given priority over the selected special role, the special role is controlled on the winning line only when the small role cannot be withdrawn. When winning simultaneously, priority is given to the control for aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and the control for aligning the small role on the winning line may be performed only when the special role cannot be drawn.

  If a special player and a replaying player are elected at the same time, such as when a replaying player is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, when the stop operation is performed, In addition, a control is performed in which the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Continuously, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end to the sub control unit 91. A plurality of types of commands including commands, gaming state commands, standby commands, stop commands, error commands, return commands, setting commands, setting confirmation commands, door commands, and operation detection commands are transmitted.

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the number of bets in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The freeze command is a command indicating whether or not to control the freeze state when it is determined to control to the freeze state, which will be described later, and the timing in the case of controlling to the freeze state. Sometimes sent.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, whether or not there is a winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning, and all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed. Sent after.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The gaming state command is a command that can specify the gaming state of the next game, the type of RT, and the number of remaining RT games, and is transmitted when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power interruption.

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), when the power is turned on, at the end of one game (after the game is over, the bet number of the next game) Sent before the setting of ”can be started), and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

  The operation detection command is a switch in which the detection state (on / off) has changed among the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R), whether the detection state has changed from off to on, This command indicates whether the state has changed from on to off and the detection state (on / off) of another switch, and is transmitted when the detection state of any of these operation switches has changed.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, and the command data in the command buffer assigned to the non-initialized area is updated to the newly generated command data, and the serial communication circuit The data is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by being transferred to the transmission data register 561 of 511.

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main) and stored in the door command storage area. The door command storage area stores a door command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 at the time of power-on or at the end of one game, and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes, A door command indicating the detection state is stored. Further, the door command stored in the door command storage area is not cleared even after the door command is transmitted, and is then overwritten by a newly stored door command. When the power is turned on or one game is finished, a door command transmission request 1 for requesting transmission of a door command stored in the door command storage area is set, and whether the door command transmission request 1 is set or whether the door is open is detected. When the detection state of the switch 25 changes, the door command transmission request 2 is set. When the door command transmission request 2 is set, the door command stored in the door command storage area is set. In the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) executed after transmission is commanded, it is stored in the command buffer and transferred to the serial communication circuit 511 to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  The operation detection command is used when a change in the detection state of any switch is detected in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main) (when edge data of any switch is set). Is generated and stored in the operation detection command storage area, and when an operation detection command transmission request is set, transmission of the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command storage area is instructed, and a timer allocation executed thereafter In the command transmission process of the loading process (main), it is stored in the command buffer and transferred to the serial communication circuit 511 to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  As described above, both the door command and the operation detection command are stored in the command buffer in the command setting process of the timer interrupt process (main), transferred to the serial communication circuit 511, and transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. However, when the door command transmission request 2 is set, that is, when transmission of the door command is requested, priority is given to transmission of the door command even if transmission of the operation detection command is requested. Since the operation detection command is transmitted only when the door command transmission request 2 is not set, the door command transmission request 2 and the operation detection command transmission request are both set. In the command transmission process, the door command is transmitted, and the operation detection command is transmitted in the next command transmission process. So that the de is transmitted.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub-control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and changes to the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the betting number setting operation is performed during the execution of the effect, that is, when the sub-control unit 91 receives a BET command indicating that the bet number has been set, Is to be canceled.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 12-16, the combination of the lottery object combination read as a lottery object role for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the inside 1 (BB1, BB3, RB2 is elected), or the inside 2 (BB2, BB4, RB1 is elected) State), BB (RB), or RB, and the winning combination and the winning probability for the internal lottery are different. Furthermore, if the gaming state is the normal gaming state, at least one of the re-game player and the winning probability to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on the types of RT0 to RT4. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIGS. 12 to 16, “+” is written between winning combinations to indicate that they are simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 12 to 16, the lottery target combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out.

  Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  12 and 13 show combinations of special combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 14 shows combinations of small roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. The combination of the re-games read out as the lottery target game for each game state is shown. FIG. 16 shows combinations of the combinations constituting the simultaneous winning combinations shown in FIGS.

  When it is BBRB · RT0, the weak cherry and all roles are subject to internal lottery, and when it is RB · RT0, all roles, RB bell 1, RB bell 2, and RB bell 3 are subject to internal lottery.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, a weak watermelon is an upper stage watermelon + right-down watermelon. A strong watermelon is a middle-stage watermelon + right-down watermelon. That is, when the middle stage watermelon wins, it can be recognized that it is a strong watermelon. Weak cherries are lower cherries alone, strong cherries are lower cherries + 1 piece, whereas weak cherries are controlled so that the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” can be derived in the middle. The strong cherry is controlled so that the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” can be derived in the middle stage, the cherry stops in the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and “BAR-BAR-BAR” in the middle stage. You can recognize that it is a strong cherry by having the combination of.

  The bell is a middle bell + a downward-sloping bell. Left bell 1 is right falling bell 5 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8, left bell 2 is right falling bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7, and left bell 3 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3, left bell 4 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells. The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 7 and the middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 8. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells. The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 6 and the right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 8. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells. The left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as push order bells.

  All roles are all small roles other than right-up bevel, ie middle bell + right-down bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + Lower right watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherries + 1 piece + right rising bell + right rising rivet.

  The RB bell 1 is a right-up bell + right-up bevel, the RB bell 2 is a right-up bell + right-up bevel + right-up beryl, and the RB bell 3 is all small roles, that is, the middle stage bell. + Downward bell + Upper bell 1 + Upper bell 2 + Upper bell 3 + Upper bell 4 + Upper bell 5 + Upper bell 6 + Upper bell 7 + Upper bell 8 + Middle watermelon + Lower watermelon + Upper watermelon + Lower cherry + Middle cherry + Single role + Upright Bell + bevel up to the right + bevel up to the right.

  The promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2.

  Replay GR1 is normal replay + promotion replay 1, replay GR2 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, replay GR3 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay, and replay GR4. Is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + lower replay, replay GR5 is normal replay + promotion replay 2, and replay GR6 is normal replay + promotion replay 2 + lower replay.

  Replay GR11 is a fall replay + promotion replay 2, replay GR12 is a fall replay + promotion replay 2 + normal replay, replay GR13 is a fall replay + promotion replay 1, and replay GR14 is a fall Replay + promotion replay 1 + normal replay, replay GR15 is fall replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, and replay GR16 is fall replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + normal replay.

  Replay GR21 is tumble replay + special replay, replay GR22 is tumble replay + special replay + normal replay, replay GR23 is tumble replay + special replay + lower replay, and replay GR24 is Tumble replay + special replay + normal replay + lower replay. Replay GR25 is tumble replay + special replay + promotion replay 1.

  Replay GR31 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay, replay GR32 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + falling replay, and replay GR33 is special replay + SP replay + lower replay, and replay GR34. Is special replay + SP replay + lower replay + falling replay, replay GR35 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + lower replay, and replay GR36 is special replay + SP replay + normal replay + lower replay + It is a fall replay.

  Also, in normal / RT0-4, etc., weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, single role, normal replay, fall replay, promotion that can be elected simultaneously with any of BB1-BB4, RB1, RB2 The replay and SP replay judgment values are read separately from the bonus in internal 1 · RT0 and internal 2 · RT0, respectively, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece role, normal Since it is added to Replay, Tumble Replay, Promotion Replay, and SP Replay, the winning probability of each of Strong Watermelon, Weak Cherry, Strong Cherry, Middle Cherry, Single Role, Normal Replay, Tumble Replay, Promotion Replay, and SP Replay is constant. It is secured to be.

  In this way, the internal lottery role varies depending on whether the gaming state is the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, BB (RB), or RB, and BB (RB) In RB, the internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probability of the small role is set higher than that in the normal gaming state and inside.

  Also, when the game state is 1 or 2 in the inside, the subject of the internal lottery does not change depending on whether it is 1 in the inside or 2 in the inside, but it is 1 in the inside or inside The internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probabilities of the target re-gamer are different.

  In addition, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the re-game player to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on whether it is RT0-4, and depending on whether it is RT0-4 An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table with different re-game players and their winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are simultaneously won.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, and the normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. The reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the operation order.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2.

  Therefore, in the normal / RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected, the promoted replay wins with a probability of 1/6, and the normal / RT0 Will be migrated.

  When replay GR11 (falling replay + promotion replay 2) is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the stop replay combination is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR12 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right, the control for stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  When the replay GR13 (falling replay + promotion replay 1) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the control of stopping the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players in the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN.

  If Replay GR14 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle right-left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line LN.

  When Replay GR15 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected re-players is aligned with the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays aligned with the winning line LN.

  If Replay GR16 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the selected re-playing players will be the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the right middle left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. The reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the fall replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the operation order.

  As described above, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to allow the replays GR11 to 16 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2 and to avoid the fall replay.

  Therefore, in the normal / RT0 where the replay GRs 11-16 are subject to internal lottery, if any of the replays GR11-16 is elected, the promoted replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and the normal / RT0 is maintained. On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and shifts to normal RT1.

  When the replay GR21 (falling replay + special replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle, right, and right, the combination of the special replays among the replaying players who have won is controlled to stop at the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line LN.

  When replay GR22 (falling replay + special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN.

  When replay GR23 (falling replay + special replay + lower replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR24 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right-left order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned to the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR25 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Promotion Replay 1) is elected and right-pressed, that is, if a stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the right reel 2R is first stopped, the special replay among the replayed players selected When the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the combination of the above is aligned with the pay line LN and left-pressed, that is, in the operation mode in which the left reel 2L is first stopped or in the middle mode, that is, in the operation mode in which the middle reel 2C is first stopped. In this case, a control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays in line with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the special replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R, Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the special replay or the fall replay is always won.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win special replays and avoid falling replays with the replays GR21 to GR25.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR21 to 25 is elected in the normal / RT0 in which the replays GR21 to 25 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and shifts to the normal / RT2. On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and shifts to normal RT1.

  When replay GR31 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right button. In the case where it has been made, a control for stopping the combination of special replays in alignment with the winning line LN is performed.

  When replay GR32 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected re-playing players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is stopped on the winning line LN.

  When replay GR33 (special replay + SP replay + lower stage replay) is won, and stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the control for stopping the combination of SP replays in the winning replay combination in line with the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right. In the case where it has been made, a control for stopping the combination of special replays in alignment with the winning line LN is performed.

  When Replay GR34 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Lower Replay + Falling Replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN. If stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped, and left or right press When a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is stopped on the winning line LN.

  When Replay GR35 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the order of right middle, left, and right, the combination of normal replays among the selected re-playing players is controlled to stop at the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is stopped on the winning line LN.

  If Replay GR36 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay + Falling Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of SP Replay among the selected replayers will be the winning line When the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, when the stop operation is performed in the order of right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. Alternatively, when a stop operation is performed by middle pressing, control is performed so that the combination of special replays is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the SP replay, special replay, and normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Accordingly, the reel control is performed so that the SP replay, special replay, or normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning SP replays with the replay GRs 31 to 36, and different operations are performed as operation modes for winning SP replays or normal replays and avoiding special replays. A mode is set.

  Therefore, in the normal / RT2 where the replay GRs 31 to 36 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the replay GRs 31 to 36 is won, the SP replay is won with a probability of 1/6 and the process proceeds to the normal / RT3. On the other hand, the normal replay or special replay is won with a probability of 5/6 and the normal / RT2 is maintained. In addition, when SP replay wins as will be described later, one or more navigation stocks that are advantageous to the player will always be given, so if one of the replay GRs 31 to 36 is won in normal / RT2 SP Replay wins with a probability of 1/6, and one or more navigation stocks are given, and it is easy to win SP replays, that is, there is a high possibility that navigation stocks will be given.

  In addition, in normal / RT3 where the replay GRs 31 to 36 are the targets of the internal lottery, if one of the replays GR31 to 36 is won, the SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and one navigation stock described later On the other hand, the normal replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and normal RT3 is maintained, and the special replay wins with a probability of 4/6 and shifts to normal RT2.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 18, a maximum of 4 small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6 or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, a stop operation is performed by pushing left. In this case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the right lowering bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected because there are places that are arranged, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, it becomes the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 will be used. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, an appropriate drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 is appropriate. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 In some cases, the upper bells are not aligned and the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is impossible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known. Although a medal can be surely obtained by winning a prize, the upper bell can be won only by 1/4 at a ratio of 2/3, and a medal cannot be surely obtained.

  When RB bell 1 (Right-up bell + Right-up Rivebe) is elected and a stop operation is performed by left-pressing, control is performed so that the combination of right-up bells among the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed to align the combination of rising right ribs on the winning line LN and stop.

  If RB Bell 2 (Rising Right Bell + Right Rising Bevel + Right Rising Berri) is won and stopped by pressing the middle, the combination of the right rising bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the left, the control is performed to stop the right-up bevel combination in alignment with the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed by pressing the button to the right, Control is performed to stop the combination in line with the winning line LN.

  RB bell 3 (middle bell + lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherry +1 sheet role + right-up bell + right-up bevel + right-up bevel), and if the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of right-up bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed to stop the right-beveled bevel combination aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the right-up bell, the right-up bevel, and the right-up bevel are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the RB bells 1 to 4 are won, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, any combination of right-up bell, right-up ribebe and right-up bevel will be aligned on the winning line LN and 10 medals will be paid out, but at a rate of 1/3 Only "bell-bell-bell" combinations will be aligned to the right.

  Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

  Also, all roles (middle bell + lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + right lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle (Cherry + 1 hand + right-up bell + right-up rivebe) is selected, the “bell-bell-bell” combination is controlled to rise to the right regardless of the reel stop order and operation timing. The

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, it is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, internal 1, internal 2, RB, BB (RB), and in the normal gaming state, RT 0 to 4. It is controlled by either.

  As described above, the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is assigned with an area for storing a gaming state flag that can specify a gaming state and an area for storing an RT flag that can specify an RT type. Yes. The gaming state flag is 4-bit data, 0000 indicates the normal gaming state, 0001 indicates the internal one, 0010 indicates the internal two, 0100 indicates the RB, and 1100 indicates the BB (RB). . The RT flag is 4-bit data. 0000 indicates RT0, 0001 indicates RT1, 0010 indicates RT2, 0011 indicates RT3, and 0100 indicates RT4. In addition, the RAM 507 has an RT flag storage area and an area capable of storing the number of remaining RT games for 1 byte, and stores the number of remaining games until the RT ends. Note that in the case of RT0, 3, and 4 that do not end when the number of games is exhausted, 0 is set as the RT remaining game number.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the value of the game state flag is 0000 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates that the game state flag is RT0, the game state flag value is 0000, and the RT flag value is 0001. In this case, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT1, and when the gaming state flag value is 0000 and the RT flag value is 0010, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT2, and the gaming state flag value is When the value of 0000 and the RT flag is 0011, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT3, and when the value of the RT flag is 0100, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT4, and the value of the gaming state flag is If the value of 0001 and RT flag is 0000, it indicates that it is 1 inside, and if the value of game state flag is 0010 and the value of RT flag is 0000, If the value of the game state flag is 0100 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates RB, and if the value of the game state flag is 1100 and the value of the RT flag is 0000 , BB (RB).

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as the lottery table in which the number of determination values for the target combination is determined, the lottery table for internal one, the lottery table for internal two, the lottery table for RB, and the lottery for BB (RB) Each having a table and a lottery table for a normal gaming state, and further, as a lottery table for a normal gaming state, a lottery table for RT0, a lottery table for RT1, a lottery table for RT2, a lottery table for RT3, Each has a lottery table for RT4.

  In the internal lottery process, the gaming state flag and the RT flag value stored in the RAM 507 are referred to identify the gaming state and the RT type, select the lottery table accordingly, and select the selected lottery table. By using the lottery, the lottery subject according to the gaming state and the type of RT is drawn with a winning probability according to the gaming state and the type of RT.

  Specifically, first, the value of the gaming state flag stored in the RAM 507 is referred to, whether the current gaming state is BB (RB), whether it is RB, whether it is internal 1, whether it is internal 2 If the current gaming state is in BB (RB), a lottery table for BB (RB) in which a target combination of internal lottery in BB (RB) and the number of determination values thereof are stored. If the RB is in RB, the RB lottery table in which the target part of the internal lottery in RB and the number of determination values thereof are stored is selected and the lottery is performed. , Select a lottery table for the internal lot 1 for the internal lottery 1 and the number of judgment values stored therein, and perform a lottery. If the internal lot is 2, the internal lottery target for the internal lot 2 And a lottery table for 2 insides in which the number of judgment values is stored If the current gaming state is neither BB (RB), nor RB, nor is it 1 or 2 inside, that is, if it is a normal gaming state, the RT stored in the RAM 507 is further selected. Each game by referring to the value of the flag and selecting a lottery table for normal use in which the internal lottery target role and the number of judgment values are stored according to the type of RT specified from the value. The lottery of the target combination corresponding to the state and the type of RT will be performed with the winning probability corresponding to each gaming state and the type of RT.

  Normal / RT0 is normal / RT1 when a promotion replay wins (when either one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected and a stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins), normal / RT1 or normal / RT2 Shifts when the game is completed due to the consumption of the specified number of games. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and 0 indicating that there is no limit on the number of games as the RT remaining game number. Is set. Regardless of the number of games after the transition to normal / RT0, the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, or to the normal / RT2 by winning the special replay It ends when the special role is elected and moves to the inside 1 or inside 2 inside.

  Usually, the winning probability for special roles in RT0 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for replaying roles is high (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probability for small roles is normal (about 1 / 3.5) However, the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. In normal / RT0, only the replay GRs 11 to 16 and the replay GRs 21 to 25 among the replaying combinations are targeted for the internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR11 to 16 is about ½. Among them, the fall replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and moves to RT1, and the total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR21 to 25 is about 1. /4.5, of which a special replay wins with a probability of 1/5, shifts to RT2, a fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5, shifts to RT1, and further, left bell 1-4, middle The total of the winning probabilities for Bells 1 to 4 and Right Bells 1 to 4 is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 has a chance to stop and will move to RT1. Therefore, if the winning of a special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) will be about 1.3 games when transitioning to normal RT0.

  Normal / RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at normal / RT0, normal / RT2, normal / RT3, normal / RT4, or when a fall replay wins at normal / RT0. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0001 indicating RT1, and 1000 is set as the RT remaining game number. The The normal RT1 is such that the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the normal number of RT remaining games is reduced to 0 by digesting the specified number of games (1000G in this embodiment).・ It will end when it shifts to RT0, or when the special role is elected and shifts to internal 1 or internal 2.

  Normal / RT1 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is lower than normal / RT0 normal (approx. 1 / 7.3), small role win The probability is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) like RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Further, in normal / RT1, only normal replay and replay GR1 to replay GR1 to 6 are included in the internal lottery. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of replays GR1 to GR6 is about 1 / 8.7, and the promotion replay wins with a probability of 1/6 of them, and the transition to normal / RT0 is made. If the winning combination is not taken into consideration, the number of expected games (average number of games) is about 52 games when transitioning to normal / RT1.

  Normal / RT2 shifts when a special replay wins in normal / RT0 or normal / RT3. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0010 indicating RT2, and 30 is set as the number of remaining RT games. The normal RT 2 is such that the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the normal number of RT remaining games is reduced to 0 by digesting the specified number of games (30G in this embodiment).・ Move to RT0, SP replay wins and move to normal ・ RT3, or move to stop and move to normal ・ RT1, or special role wins and becomes 1 in internal or 2 in internal It ends by migrating.

  Normal / RT2 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is almost the same as RT (0), high probability (approx. 1 / 1.4), small The winning probability of the combination is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) as with RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Also, in normal / RT2, only the normal replay and replay GR31 to 36 of the replaying combinations are subject to internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR31 to 36 is about 1/129, of which the SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and shifts to normal / RT3, and the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 1 4, the total of the winning probabilities of right bells 1 to 4 is about 1 / 3.9, and the transition will stop with a probability of 2/3 × 3/4, and will move to normal / RT1. If the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) will be about 7.9 when the game is shifted to the normal RT2.

  Normal / RT3 shifts when SP replay wins in normal / RT2. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0011 indicating RT3, and 0 indicating that there is no limit on the number of games as the RT remaining game number. Is set. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to normal / RT3, whether or not the normal / RT3 shifts to the normal / RT2 with the special replay winning, or the transition outcome stops and shifts to the normal / RT1 When the special role is elected and moves to the inside 1 or the inside 2, it ends.

  In normal / RT3, the probability of winning a special role is normal (approximately 1/239), as in RT0, and the winning probability of a replaying player is almost the same as RT (0), with a high probability (approximately 1 / 1.4), small The winning probability of the combination is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) as with RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Also, in normal / RT3, only the replay GRs 31 to 36 and the SP replay are subject to the internal lottery except for the case where the special combination is won at the same time. In addition, the total of the winning probabilities of Replay GR31 to 36 is about 1 / 1.4. Among them, special replay wins with a probability of 2/3. 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 have a total winning probability of about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 has the chance to stop and move to normal / RT1 Therefore, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into account, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 1.7 when the game is shifted to the normal RT3.

  Normal / RT4 shifts to the end of BB (RB) and RB. At this time, the value of the game state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal game state, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0011 indicating RT3, and 0 indicating that there is no limit on the number of games as the RT remaining game number. Is set. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to the normal / RT4, the normal / RT4 stops the transition and moves to the RT1, or the special role is elected and moves to the internal 1 or the internal 2 To finish.

  The winning probability for special roles in normal / RT4 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for re-playing roles is normal / normally lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability for small roles is normal / RT0 As usual, it is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Moreover, in normal / RT4, except for the case where the winning combination is won at the same time as the special combination, only the normal replay among the re-playing combination is subject to internal lottery. The total winning probability of left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, and right bells 1-4 is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 has a chance of stopping, Since the transition to normal / RT1 is made, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 7.9 games when the transition is made to normal / RT2. .

  The inside 1 shifts when BB1, BB3, RB2 among the special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, as shown in FIG. 20, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0001 indicating 1 in the inside, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and the number of games remaining is 0 as the RT remaining game number. Updated to Then, regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, the inside 1 finishes when the special role that triggered the transition to the inside 1 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. .

  In internal 1 the special role is not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of re-playing role is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, normal RT3, but higher than normal RT1, normal RT4 Probability (approx. 1 / 4.2), winning probability of small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medal payout rate per game is less than 1 It becomes. Moreover, in the inside 1, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  The inside 2 shifts when BB2, BB4, RB1 among special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0010 indicating 2 inside, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and the number of games is also updated to 0 as the number of remaining RT games. Then, inside 2 ends regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, when the special combination that triggered the transition to the inside 2 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. .

  In internal 2, the special role is not eligible for internal lottery, and the winning probability of replaying is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, normal RT3, but normal RT1, normal RT4, internal 1 Higher probability (approx. 1 / 2.9), the winning probability of a small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medals are paid out per game. The rate is less than 1. Further, in the inside 2, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins in 1 and 2 inside. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0100 indicating RB, the value of the RT flag does not change from 0000 indicating RT (0), and the number of remaining RT games does not change from 0. And RB is complete | finished by digesting 6 games or winning 6 times.

  In RB, the special role and re-playing role are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than normal 1 and 2 in the normal gaming state, high probability (about 1 / 1.01), The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  BB (RB) shifts when BB wins inside. At this time, as shown in FIG. 20, the value of the game state flag is updated to 1100 indicating BB (RB), the value of the RT flag remains unchanged from 0000 indicating RT (0), and the number of remaining RT games is also the same. No change from zero. Then, BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to BB (RB) exceeds the prescribed number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to BB (RB).

  In BB (RB), special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of small roles is higher than the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, and high probability (about 1 / 1.00) The medal payout rate per game is 1 or more.

  Among the normal gaming state, 1, 2, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB (RB) are the most advantageous gaming states with the highest medal payout rate per game.

  RT0, RT2, RT4, RT0-4 in the normal gaming state have a high probability that the re-gamer wins and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1, 4, RT1 4 can be said to be a more advantageous state for the player.

  RT0, 2, and 3 in the normal gaming state both have a higher medal payout rate per game than RT1 and RT4. Among them, RT3 is the most anticipated acquisition of navigation stock, which will be described later. 3 can be said to be more advantageous for the player. Further, while there may be a direct transition from RT2 to RT3, there is no direct transition from RT0 to RT3, and in this respect RT2 can be said to be a more advantageous state for the player than RT0.

  RT0 and 4 in the normal gaming state are lower than RT0, 2 and 3 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is low and the payout rate of medals per game is lower than RT0, 2 and 3. This is a disadvantage for the player.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 provides an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The production state can be controlled.

  Here, the gaming state and the transition state of RT will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, when RB or BB (RB) is completed, the state shifts to normal / RT4.

  In normal / RT4, when the transition is stopped, the transition is made to RT1, and when the special role is elected, the transition is made to internal 1 or internal 2 according to the type of the special role won.

  In normal / RT4, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop. Therefore, any of the left bell 1-4, the middle bell 1-4, the right bell 1-4 can be won and the small role can be won in the normal RT 4 which has been shifted to after the end of RB or BB (RB) If not, the process moves to normal RT1.

  Normally, in RT1, the special role is not won, the promotion replay is not won, the specified number of games (1000G) is consumed, or the promotion replay wins, and the normal role is transferred to RT0, and the special role is won Depending on the type of the special role that has been won, the game moves to the inside 1 or 2 inside.

  Usually ・ Replay GR1-6 wins in RT1, and the promotion replay wins when the stop order is correct. Therefore, in normal ・ RT1, replay GR1-6 wins and corrects in the order of stop. It will shift to RT0.

  In normal / RT0, if the fall replay wins, or if the transition is stopped, it moves to normal / RT1, and if the special replay wins, it moves to normal / RT2, and the special role is won. Depending on the type of the special role, it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside.

  Usually, the replays GR11 to 16 are won at RT0, the promotion replay wins when the stopping order is correct, and the fall replay wins when the answer is incorrect. In addition, when the replays GR21 to 25 are elected in normal / RT0 and the stop order is correct, the special replay is won, and if the answer is incorrect, the fall replay is won. In addition, in the case of normal / RT0, when any of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. Therefore, in normal / RT0, the replay GRs 21 to 25 are elected and the stop order is correct, so that the transition is made to normal / RT2 and the replay GRs 11 to 16 are elected and the stop order is incorrect or the left bell 1 -4, middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4 are elected, and if it is not possible to win a small role, it will shift to normal · RT1.

  Normally, in RT2, the special role is not won, SP replay is not won, and the regular game number (30G) is used to move to normal RT0, and SP replay is won to move to normal RT3, When the special role is elected, it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside depending on the kind of the special role won.

  In normal / RT2, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won, and the SP replay wins when the stop order is correct. Further, in the normal / RT2, when any of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in normal / RT2, the replays GR31 to 36 are elected, and when the stopping order is correct, the routine proceeds to normal / RT3, and any of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 Will be transferred to normal / RT1 if the winning combination is not successful.

  In normal / RT3, when the special replay wins, it moves to RT2, and when the transition roll stops, it moves to normal / RT1, and the special role is elected. Transition to Medium 1 or Internal 2

  In normal / RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are elected, the SP replay or the normal replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the special replay is won if the answer is incorrect. Further, in the normal / RT3, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome is stopped. For this reason, in normal / RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are elected, and the stop order becomes incorrect, so the routine proceeds to normal / RT2, and the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 If either of them wins and the small combination cannot be won, the routine will shift to RT1.

  In the inside 1 and 2, the special role that triggers the transition to the inside wins a transition to RB or BB (RB).

  In this embodiment, as described above, the game state flag is assigned to the general work that is initialized when the setting is changed in the area of the RAM 507, while the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are included in the area of the RAM 507. Assigned to important work that is not initialized when the setting is changed.

  Therefore, when the setting is changed in the normal gaming state, as shown in FIG. 21, the gaming state flag is initialized and updated to 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, but the RT flag value and the RT remaining game are updated. Since the value of the number is maintained as it is before the setting change, when the setting is changed in the normal gaming state, the RT type before the setting change and the number of remaining RT games are inherited even after the setting is changed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state to the internal medium 1 or the internal medium 2, the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0, and then the transitioned RB Alternatively, the value of the RT flag is maintained at 0000 indicating RT0 until BB (RB) ends.

  For this reason, when the setting is changed in the inside 1 and 2, the gaming state flag is initialized and updated to 0000 indicating the normal gaming state as shown in FIG. 22, and the value of the RT flag is maintained. However, since 0000 indicating RT0 is always set, when the setting is changed in the inside, the game is always in the normal gaming state RT0.

  Similarly, when the setting is changed in BB (RB), as shown in FIG. 23, the gaming state flag is initialized and updated to 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is maintained. Since 0000 indicating RT0 is always set, even when the setting is changed in BB (RB), the state is always RT0 in the normal gaming state.

  Even in the case of a slot machine that can maintain the game state before the change even if the setting is changed, an extremely advantageous game state such as a bonus is generally initialized before opening the store. For this reason, in a conventional slot machine, a specific game state that is extremely advantageous to the player is ended by changing the setting, but in order to specify whether the game state before the setting change is a specific game state, The data indicating the state is maintained, and after the setting change, when the data indicating the specific gaming state is set, the data indicating the specific gaming state is initialized at that time and the gaming state is set again. When the setting is changed in a specific gaming state, to initialize the gaming state after the change, the data initialized after the change, that is, the data that is not required after the setting change is maintained. It was necessary to keep.

  In contrast, in the present embodiment, when the setting is changed, the data before the change is maintained for the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games, while the value before the setting change is initially set for the game state flag. Since it is updated to a value indicating the normal gaming state, only the probability of the internal lottery specified by the RT flag and the number of remaining games can be taken over even after the setting change, and the internal specified by the gaming state flag The probability of the lottery can be initialized by changing the setting. Then, when a value indicating a specific gaming state (a value indicating internal or BB (RB)) is set as the gaming state flag, the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are initialized and specified as the gaming state flag. When the value indicating the gaming state is set, the lottery is performed using only the lottery table specified from the gaming state flag without using the lottery table specified from the RT flag in the internal lottery. If the setting is changed while the gaming state flag indicating the specific gaming state is set, the gaming state flag, the RT flag, and the number of remaining RT games are initialized after the setting is changed. Therefore, only the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are maintained even after the setting is changed, and the gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is maintained. When the setting is changed while the game is set, the game state flag is also set without retaining data that is not used after the setting change, that is, data that becomes unnecessary after the setting change as in the past. The RT flag can also be initialized.

  In addition, when the setting is changed in a state in which a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is set, after the setting change, in addition to the gaming state flag and the RT flag, the number of remaining RT games is also initialized. Therefore, when a setting change is made in a state in which a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is set, regardless of the number of games since the gaming state flag is set, Since all of the same state, that is, the gaming state flag, the RT flag, and the RT remaining number of games are initialized, there is no unfairness to the player depending on the timing of the setting change. Fairness can be ensured.

  Further, in this embodiment, when performing the internal lottery, the game state flag is first referred to, and only when the game state flag indicates a game state other than the specific game state, the lottery table is selected with reference to the RT flag. When the game state flag indicates a specific game state, the lottery table used for the specific game state is selected without referring to the RT flag and the lottery is performed. For this reason, after referring to the RT flag and then referring to the gaming state flag, if it is determined that the gaming state flag is a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state, a lottery table corresponding to the gaming state flag is displayed. However, the process of referring to the RT flag is wasted, but the RT flag is set only when the gaming state flag is first referred to and the gaming state flag indicates a gaming state other than the specific gaming state as in this embodiment. By selecting the lottery table with reference, it is possible to omit the process of referring to the RT flag that does not affect the lottery table when the game state flag indicating a specific game state is set.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the game state flag indicating the internal state 1 or 2, that is, the state where the special combination is won, is set as the specific game state, the RT flag and the RT remaining game number are initialized. When the game state flag indicating the inside 1 or 2 is set, the lottery is performed using only the lottery table specified from the game state flag without using the lottery table specified from the RT flag in the internal lottery. So, if the special role is elected, just change the settings and the game status flag and RT flag will be initialized, so if the game store closes with the special role elected being carried over If you want to initialize the state where the special role is elected and also want to initialize the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games, you only need to change the settings, so the game will be played by the next morning. It can be carried out efficiently the work of the order to end a state in which the prize was carried over a special role as ready to welcome.

  In this embodiment, the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are initialized even when RB or BB (RB) as a specific gaming state, that is, a gaming state flag indicating a bonus advantageous to the player is set. When the game state flag indicating RB or BB (RB) is set, the lottery specified from the game state flag is not used in the internal lottery without using the lottery table specified from the RT flag. Since the lottery is performed using only the table, the game state flag and the RT flag are initialized only by changing the setting in RB and BB (RB), so that the game is being played during RB or BB (RB). When the store is closed, when RB and BB (RB) are initialized and the RT flag and the number of remaining RT games are also initialized, it is only necessary to change the setting. Therefore, it is possible to perform RB in preparation to welcome the player until the next morning of the opening, the work of the order to terminate the BB (RB) efficiently.

  In the present embodiment, when the RB or BB (RB) ends, that is, when a specific gaming state ends, the RT flag indicating RT4 different from the RT flag when initializing the RT flag, that is, the RT flag indicating RT0 is set. Different RT flag states can be set depending on whether the setting is changed in a specific gaming state or the setting is changed after the end of the specific gaming state. In other words, when a store is closed in a specific gaming state, the game store can select whether to change the setting while maintaining the specific gaming state or to change the setting after the specific gaming state is ended. It is possible to select whether the RT state is RT0 or RT4.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the setting is changed in a specific gaming state among RT0 to RT4 constituting the normal gaming state, the expected number of games until the transition to another gaming state or another RT (average game) Therefore, when the setting is changed in a specific gaming state, it is possible to change to another gaming state or RT with a small number of games, and RT0 in the normal gaming state. The game store can easily select whether to change the game state to another game state or RT.

  In addition, among RT0 to RT4 constituting the normal gaming state, RT0 in the normal gaming state that shifts when the setting is changed in a specific gaming state is a different gaming state or other RT regardless of the number of games after the transition. Since there is no need to select the number of RT games to be transferred when changing settings, there is no need to select another game state or other RT until the specified number of games is consumed. When the setting is changed in the gaming state, it is possible to prevent the gaming store from being restricted from changing to another gaming state or RT. Furthermore, among RT0 to RT4 constituting the normal gaming state, RT0 in the normal gaming state that shifts when the setting is changed in the specific gaming state, that is, RT that shifts simultaneously when shifting to the specific gaming state is the number of games. When the setting is changed in a state in which a gaming state flag indicating a specific gaming state is set, the RT0 after the setting is changed regardless of the number of games since the gaming state flag is set. Since the conditions for shifting from one RT to another do not change depending on the state before the setting change, it will not be unfair to the player depending on the timing of the setting change, so that the fairness of the game can be ensured. it can.

  In this embodiment, when the internal lottery is performed, the gaming state flag is first referred to, and only when the gaming state flag indicates a gaming state other than a specific gaming state, the lottery table is selected with reference to the RT flag. In the case where the gaming state flag indicates a specific gaming state, the lottery table used for the specific gaming state is selected without referring to the RT flag and the lottery is performed, that is, the gaming state flag is referred to with priority. The RT flag is referenced only when necessary, but a lottery table used for internal lottery may be specified using both the gaming state flag value and the RT flag value.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to control the AT by executing an AT lottery process. In the AT lottery process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied based on a command from the main control unit 41, and the AT lottery is executed when the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied. In the AT lottery, it is determined whether or not the navigation stock is to be provided and how many navigation stocks are to be provided.

  Navistock refers to the right controlled by the AT for a set period of time. By consuming (subtracting) the navigation stock by 1, it is controlled by the AT for a predetermined number of games (30G, 50G, 70G, 90G, 100G, 200G, 300G, 500G in this embodiment), during which the navigation effect is executed. The For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player because the AT is controlled over a longer period.

  Navistock consists of Navistock 1 and Navistock 2. Navistock 1 has about 30-50G of games selected in the game number lottery described later, that is, the average number of games in the AT1 set. 2, the average number of games selected in the game number lottery is about 200G. That is, the AT that consumes and controls Navistock 2 has a larger average number of continuous games than the AT that controls Navistock 1 and controls, and Navistock 2 is given more than Navistock 1 It becomes more advantageous for the player. The RAM 91c of the sub-control unit 91 includes a navigation stock 1 storage area that stores the number of navigation stocks 1 that are not yet consumed, and a navigation stock 2 storage area that stores the number of navigation stocks 2 that are not yet consumed. When the navigation stock 1 is assigned, the number of the given navigation stock 1 is added to the number stored in the navigation stock 1 storage area, and when the navigation stock 2 is given, the given navigation The number of stock 2 is added to the number stored in the navigation stock 2 storage area, and when one navigation stock 1 is consumed, the number stored in the navigation stock 1 storage area is decremented by 1, and the navigation stock 2 is set to 1. When one is consumed, the number stored in the navigation stock 2 storage area is decremented by 1. If both Navistock 1 and Navistock 2 remain, that is, if neither Navistock 1 storage area nor Navistock 2 storage area is 0, Navistock stored in Navistock 2 storage area 2 is consumed first, and after all the navigation stock 2 is consumed, the navigation stock 1 stored in the navigation stock 1 storage area is consumed.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining an example of a lottery condition that triggers execution of AT lottery. FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining an example of a table referred to in the AT lottery.

  The conditions of AT lottery 1 that determines whether or not Navistock 1 will be granted and how many Navistock 1 will be given are normal ・ RT0-4, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay It is established when is won. Further, when the SP replay is won at normal times RT0 to 4 and no navigation stock 1 is won at the AT lottery 1, the navigation stock 2 is given. That is, when the SP replay is won at normal times RT0 to RT4, the AT lottery 1 determines whether or not the navigation stock 2 is given in addition to whether or not the navigation stock 1 is given. When it is determined that the navigation stock 2 is to be given in the AT lottery 1, the AT lottery 2 for determining how many navigation stocks 2 are given is performed, and the determined number of navigation stocks 2 is given. . In addition, when SP Replay was won in normal / RT0-4, Navistock 1 was won 10 times in succession, and Navistock 2 was not won in normal / RT4, the next SP Replay was won in Normal / RT4 At this time, the AT lottery 1 is not performed, the navigation stock 2 is regarded as the winning of the Navistock 2, the AT lottery 2 is performed, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is given. That is, in this case, Navistock 2 will always win.

  Normal / RT0 to 4 and when the lottery mode is the normal mode (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or when the SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, the table shown in FIG. The AT lottery 1 is performed with reference to FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies, for example, normal / RT0 to 4 based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, for example, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) based on the internal winning command or Specify that you won the SP replay. In addition, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the normal mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (a) is referenced, if the winning role is a weak cherry, the winning number of Navi Stock 1 is determined to be 0% at a rate of 95%, and the winning of Navi Stock 1 is determined at a rate of 5%. AT lottery 1 is performed so that the number is determined to be 1, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery 1 is the sum of the winning number of Navistock 1 × the winning rate, It is configured to be 0.05 (= 0 × 95% + 1 × 5%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (a) is referred to, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, and the winning of Navistock 1 is set at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery 1 is held so that the number is determined to be 1, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 2 at a rate of 8%, and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 2% The expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT Lottery 1 is 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8) from the sum of Navistock 1 winning number × winning rate % + 3 × 2%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (a) is referenced, if the winning combination is a middle-tier cherry, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the winning of Navistock 1 at a rate of 20% Expected Navi that can be expected to be acquired in one AT Lottery 1 as the number is determined to be 2 and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10% The number of stocks is configured to be 1.4 (= 1 × 70% + 2 × 20% + 3 × 10%) from the sum of Navistock 1 winning number × winning rate.

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (a) is referred to, if the winning combination is SP replay and the number of unconsumed Navistock 1s, that is, Navistock 1 storage areas is less than 5, 10% The winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 at the rate of 60%, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 1 at the rate of 60%, and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 2 at the rate of 20%. In the case where AT lottery 1 is performed so that the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at the rate of%, and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0, it is further shown in FIG. The table is referred to and AT lottery 2 is performed so that the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 1 at a rate of 100%. Therefore, the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT Lottery 1 and AT Lottery 2 is the winning number of Navi Stock 1 × winning rate and the winning probability of Navi Stock 1 winning number 0 × Navi It is configured to be 1.4 (= 0 × 10% + 1 × 60% + 2 × 20% + 3 × 10% + 10% × (1 × 100%)) from the sum of stock 2 winning number × winning rate Has been.

  In addition, if the winning role is SP replay and the number of unconsumed Navistock 1 is 5 or more, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 at a rate of 5%, and a rate of 60% The winning number of Navistock 1 is determined as 1, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined as 2 at a rate of 20%, and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined as 3 at a rate of 15%. When AT lottery 1 is performed and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0, the table shown in FIG. 25 (d) is further referred to, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is set to 1 at a rate of 100%. AT lottery 2 is performed as determined. Therefore, the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT Lottery 1 and AT Lottery 2 is the winning number of Navi Stock 1 × winning rate and the winning probability of Navi Stock 1 winning number 0 × Navi From the sum of the winning number of stock 2 x winning rate, it is configured to be 1.5 (= 0 x 5% + 1 x 60% + 2 x 20% + 3 x 15% + 5% x (1 x 100%)) Has been.

  Normally, when RT0 to RT4 and the lottery mode is the high probability A mode, when the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. 25 (b) The AT lottery 1 is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies, for example, normal / RT0 to 4 based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, for example, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) based on the internal winning command or Specify that you won the SP replay. Further, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the high probability A mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (b) is referenced, if the winning combination is a weak cherry, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, and the winning of Navistock 1 is set at a rate of 20%. The number is determined as 1, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined as 2 at a rate of 8%, and the AT lottery 1 is performed so that the number of Navistock is determined as 3 at a rate of 2%. The expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in AT Lottery 1 is 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (b) is referenced, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the winning number of Navi Stock 1 is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the winning of Navi Stock 1 is determined at a rate of 20%. Expected Navi that can be expected to be acquired in one AT Lottery 1 as the number is determined to be 2 and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10% The number of stocks is configured to be 1.4 (= 1 × 70% + 2 × 20% + 3 × 10%) from the sum of Navistock 1 winning number × winning rate.

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (b) is referred to, if the winning combination is a middle-tier cherry, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80%, and the winning of Navistock 1 at a rate of 20% AT lottery 1 is performed so that the number is determined to be 3, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery 1 is calculated from the sum of the winning number of Navistock 1 × the winning rate, 2.2 (= 2 × 80% + 3 × 20%).

  If the table shown in FIG. 25 (b) is referenced, if the winning combination is SP replay, and the number of unconsumed Navi Stock 1s, that is, Navi Stock 1 storage areas is less than 5, 20% The winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 at the rate of 60%, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 2 at the rate of 60%, and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at the rate of 20% In addition, when AT lottery 1 is performed and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0, the table shown in FIG. 25 (d) is further referred to, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is 70%. AT lottery 2 is performed so that the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 2 at a rate of 20%, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%. Therefore, the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT Lottery 1 and AT Lottery 2 is the winning number of Navi Stock 1 × winning rate and the winning probability of Navi Stock 1 winning number 0 × Navi From the sum of the winning number of stock 2 x winning rate, 2.08 (= 0 x 20% + 2 x 60% + 3 x 20% + 20% x (1 x 70% + 2 x 20% + 3 x 10%)) It is comprised so that it may become.

  In addition, if the winning role is SP replay and the number of unconsumed Navistock 1 is 5 or more, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 at a rate of 10%, and a rate of 60% The winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 2, and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 so that the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 30%. In this case, the table shown in FIG. 25D is further referred to, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is set to 2 at a rate of 20%. AT lottery 2 is performed so that the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10%. Therefore, the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT Lottery 1 and AT Lottery 2 is the winning number of Navi Stock 1 × winning rate and the winning probability of Navi Stock 1 winning number 0 × Navi 2.24 (= 0 × 10% + 2 × 60% + 3 × 30% + 10% × (1 × 70% + 2 × 20% + 3 × 10%)) from the sum of the stock 2 winning number × winning rate It is comprised so that it may become.

  Normally, when RT0 to RT4 and the lottery mode is the high probability B mode, when the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won and the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. 25 (c) The AT lottery 1 is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies, for example, normal / RT0 to 4 based on the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, for example, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) based on the internal winning command or Specify that you won the SP replay. Further, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the high probability B mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91c.

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (c) is referenced, if the winning combination is a weak cherry, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70%, and the winning of Navistock 1 at a rate of 20% Expected Navi that can be expected to be acquired in one AT Lottery 1 as the number is determined to be 2 and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 10% The number of stocks is configured to be 1.4 (= 1 × 70% + 2 × 20% + 3 × 10%) from the sum of Navistock 1 winning number × winning rate.

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (c) is referred to, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80%, and the winning of Navistock 1 at a rate of 20% AT lottery 1 is performed so that the number is determined to be 3, and the expected number of navigation stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT lottery 1 is calculated from the sum of the winning number of Navistock 1 × the winning rate, 2.2 (= 2 × 80% + 3 × 20%).

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (c) is referred to, the normal number is RT0 to 4, and if the winning combination is the middle stage cherry, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100%. The number of expected navigation stocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery 1 is 3 (= 3 × 100%) from the sum of the winning number of the Navistock × the winning rate. It is comprised so that it may become.

  When the table shown in FIG. 25 (c) is referred to, if the winning combination is SP replay and the number of unconsumed Navistock 1s, that is, Navistock 1 storage areas is less than 5, 30% The winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0, and the winning number of Navistock 1 is 0 so that the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 3 at a ratio of 70%. 25d is further referred to, the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 1 at a rate of 50%, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined at a rate of 30%. AT lottery 2 is performed so that the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 3 at a rate of 20%. Therefore, the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT Lottery 1 and AT Lottery 2 is the winning number of Navi Stock 1 × winning rate and the winning probability of Navi Stock 1 winning number 0 × Navi From the sum of the winning number of stock 2 x winning rate, 2.61 (= 0x30% + 3x70% + 30% x (1x50% + 2x30% + 3x20%)) Has been.

  If the winning role is SP replay and the number of unconsumed Navistock 1 is 5 or more, the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0 at a rate of 15% and a rate of 85% In the case where AT lottery 1 is performed so that the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to 3 and the winning number of Navistock 1 is determined to be 0, the table shown in FIG. The winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 1 at 50%, the winning number of Navistock 2 is determined to be 2 at 30%, and the winning number of Navistock 2 is set to 3 at 20%. AT lottery 2 is performed as determined. Therefore, the expected number of Navi stocks that can be expected to be obtained in one AT Lottery 1 and AT Lottery 2 is the winning number of Navi Stock 1 × winning rate and the winning probability of Navi Stock 1 winning number 0 × Navi From the sum of stock 2 winning number x winning rate, 2.805 (= 0 x 15% + 3 x 85% + 15% x (1 x 50% + 2 x 30% + 3 x 20%)) Has been.

  As described above, when the normal / RT0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the high probability A mode, a lot of navigation stocks can be expected compared to the normal mode, and the navigation stock 2 is compared to the normal mode. You can also expect to win. Furthermore, when the lottery mode is the high probability B mode, more navigation stocks can be expected than in the normal mode and the high probability A mode, and more navigation stocks 2 can be selected than in the normal mode and the high probability A mode. I can expect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, whether or not the lottery condition is satisfied is determined by the AT lottery process performed by the sub-control unit 91. When the lottery condition is satisfied, AT lottery 1 and 2 are performed.

  When one or more navigation stock 1 or navigation stock 2 is determined in the AT lottery 1 and 2, the sub-control unit 91 stores an AT flag indicating that it is AT in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to AT based on the AT flag in the RAM 91c. When the AT flag indicating AT is set, it is possible to control the AT by consuming one navigation stock number.

  The sub-control unit 91 performs control to the AT based on the AT flag that is set according to the result of the AT lottery by performing the AT management process included in the AT control process when it is normal RT1-4. to manage.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT when the AT flag is specified from the AT flag in normal / RT1. That is, when the navigation stock 1 or the navigation stock 2 remains, AT control is started. During the period from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0, the navigation effect can be executed under the control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the navigation stock 1 or the navigation stock 2. At this time, as will be described later, in normal / RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are subject to navigation effects, and in the navigation effects, the push order for winning the promoted replays when the replays GR1 to 6 are won is notified. It is possible to shift from normal RT1 to RT0 by performing a stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order.

  When the game is controlled by the AT, when the normal / RT1 is changed to the normal / RT0, or after the normal / RT0, the normal / RT0 or the normal / RT2 continues. When the number (in this embodiment, the number of games won in the game number lottery to be described later) has elapsed, the start condition to the AT by consuming (subtracting) 1 of Navistock 1 or Navistock 2 is satisfied, and the predetermined number of games In this embodiment, until the elapse of (the number of games won in the game number lottery described later) elapses, the RT is controlled to an ART that is RT and AT having a high winning probability of the re-gamer. When one Navistock 1 is consumed, the number stored in the Navistock 1 storage area is decremented by 1. When one Navistock 2 is consumed, the number stored in the Navistock 2 storage area is decremented. Subtract 1 During this time, as will be described later, if it is normal / RT0, it will be the target of navigation effects when the replays GR11-16 and replay GR21-25 are selected, and if it is normal / RT2, it will be the target of navigation effects when the replays GR31-36 are selected. In addition, the push order bell is a target of the navigation effect regardless of normal / RT0 or normal / RT2. In the navigation effect, in normal / RT0, the push order for avoiding the fall replay winning is notified when the replay GR11-16 is won, and the push order for winning the special replay is notified when the replay GR21-25 is won, By performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order, it is possible to shift from normal / RT0 to normal / RT2 without shifting to normal / RT1, and in normal / RT2, SP replay is performed when the replays GR31 to 36 are selected. Since the push order for winning a prize is notified, one or more navigation stocks are given by performing a stop operation in accordance with the notified push order, and a transition is made from normal RT2 to normal RT3 where further acquisition of navigation stock can be expected. It becomes possible. Also, in both normal / RT0 and normal / RT2, when the winning order according to the pressing order is avoided, the transition order is avoided, and the pressing order for winning the bell is notified, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified pressing order. It is possible to acquire medals without shifting from normal RT0 or normal RT2 to normal RT1.

  The sub-control unit 91 spends 1 of Navistock 1 or Navistock 2 in the AT management process, that is, when normal RT1 is changed to normal RT0, or after normal RT0 is shifted to normal RT0 or normal When a predetermined number of games have elapsed in a state where any one of RT2 continues, a game number lottery for determining the number of games in which the navigation effect executed by the navigation stock is executed is executed.

  In the game number lottery, the number of games of 30G, 50G, 70G, 90G, 100G, 200G, 300G, and 500G is determined by lottery. The game number lottery performed by referring to Tables 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 26 and consuming 1 Navistock 2 is performed with reference to Table 4 shown in FIG. When table 1 is referenced, the average number of games selected is about 40G. When table 2 is referenced, the average number of games selected is about 45G. When table 3 is referenced, the average number selected. The number of games is about 50G, and when the table 4 is referred to, the average number of games selected is determined to be about 200G.

  In other words, the average number of AT games when 1 Navistock 1 is consumed is 40 to 50G, while the average number of AT games when Navistock 2 is consumed is 200G. When Navi Stock 2 is won, it can be expected that the AT will be controlled over a larger number of games than when Navi Stock 1 is won.

  Tables 1 to 3 used in the game number lottery performed by consuming 1 Navistock 1 are transferred to a table having a larger average number of games by winning the table transfer lottery. As a trigger for the table transfer lottery, even if the navigation stock remains in the AT, the latent lottery is won and the navigation effect is not executed. If the game shifts to RT4 once, the normal replay is performed during the AT. There are cases where a prize has been won more than a certain number of times. Then, these tables are transferred to a table with a small average number of games when, for example, the transition outcomes are complete in a state where RT4 and no navigation stock remain.

  The sub-control unit 91 is in a state where one or more Navistock 1 remains in the Navistock 1 storage area, and Navistock 2 is won, that is, SP replay is won, Navistock 1 is not won in AT lottery 1. When the navigation stock 2 is won, the number of navigation stocks 1 stored in the navigation stock 1 storage area is converted into the navigation stock 2. For example, if Navistock 2 is elected with two Navistock 1 remaining, in addition to the Navistock 2 that has been elected, the two remaining Navistock 1 at that time are converted to Navistock 2. Therefore, Navistock 1 becomes 0 and Navistock 2 becomes 3.

  In addition, when Navistock 2 is won, after that, if Navistock 1 is won in AT Lottery 1 in the period until the AT lottery opportunity is established five times, Navistock won in that period 1 is also converted into navigation stock 2, and any of the winning navigation stocks 1 during this period is added as navigation stock 2 to the navigation stock 2 storage area.

  Here, the transition of AT will be described based on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 shown in FIG. When shifting to AT based on the winning of Navistock 1, the AT-specific background screen (background white in FIG. 27) is displayed, and then the selected Navistock 1 is changed to 1 when shifting from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0. The number of games is drawn, and the number of winning games is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as the number of remaining AT games. By subtracting the number of remaining AT games for each game, the number of remaining AT games can be identified.

  Next, for example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a), Navistock 1 and Navistock 2 are both 0, but if Navistock 1 is elected with the number of AT games remaining, It is added to the number of navigation stock 1 storage areas. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 displays the number of circles corresponding to the winning number of the navigation stock 1 on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify the remaining number of the navigation stock 1.

  Next, when the number of AT games is exhausted and becomes 0, for example, if the navigation stock 1 remains, the navigation stock 1 is consumed (the number of the navigation stock 1 storage area is subtracted by 1) and the number of games is drawn. The AT is controlled over the number of newly won AT games. At this time, one circle mark indicating the remaining number of navigation stocks 1 displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is deleted, and the number of AT games won in the game number lottery is notified and added to the number of remaining AT games.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 27B, when the navigation stock 2 is won with the navigation stock 1 remaining, the winning number of the navigation stock 2 is added to the number of the navigation stock 2 storage areas. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 displays the number of ☆ corresponding to the number of winning Navistock 2 along with the mark of ○ indicating the number of Navistock 1 on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify the remaining number of Navistock 2. To do.

  Further, the sub control unit 91 converts the navigation stock 1 into the navigation stock 2. That is, the number stored in the navigation stock 1 storage area is added to the navigation stock 2 storage area, and the number of navigation stock 1 storage areas is cleared. Then, the background screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to a mode (background black in FIG. 27) indicating that the navigation stock 2 has been won, and a circle indicating the number of the navigation stock 1 indicates the number of the navigation stock 2. By changing to the mark, it is notified that the navigation stock 1 has been converted to the navigation stock 2.

  After Navi Stock 2 is won, the Navi Stock 1 won in the AT Lottery 1 in the period until the AT lottery is established 5 times, all converted to Navi Stock 2 and added to the number of Navi Stock 2 storage areas. The Then, the sub-control unit 91 starts with the initial Navistock 2 for the period from the time Navistock 2 is won until the AT lottery opportunity is established five times, that is, the Navistock 1 that is won is converted to Navistock 2. The mode of the liquid crystal display 51 changed when winning (background black in FIG. 27) is maintained. If Navistock 1 wins during this time, it will be converted to Navistock 2. It is to be notified. Then, when the AT lottery opportunity is established five times and the period during which the navigation stock 1 is converted to the navigation stock 2 is completed, the display mode of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to the original mode (background white in FIG. 27). Return. Then, when Navi Stock 1 is won in AT Lottery 1, the winning number of Navi Stock 1 is added to the number of Navi Stock 1 storage areas, and the winning number of Navi Stock 1 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. ○ mark corresponding to is additionally displayed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when Navistock 2 that can expect a larger number of AT games than Navistock 1 is won in a state where undigested Navistock 1 remains, before Navistock 2 is won. The navigation stock 1 that has already been given to the user and has not yet been digested is converted into the navigation stock 2.

  On the other hand, if it is controlled by AT, there is a high possibility that undigested Navistock 1 remains in the end of the period than in the beginning, and Navistock 2 is elected during AT, Since there is a higher possibility that more Navistock 1 will be converted to Navistock 2 at the end of the AT than at the beginning of the AT, if it is controlled by the AT, the interest can be sustained until the end.

  In this embodiment, an AT is used in which information advantageous to the player is notified as an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player than usual. However, as the advantageous state, the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than usual. High normal / game status such as RT0, RT2, etc., game status such as RB with higher probability of winning a small role than normal, normal with higher probability of winning a role (special role, SP replay, etc.) advantageous to the player than normal・ A gaming state in which more medals can be expected than usual in the gaming state, such as a gaming state such as RT3, or a gaming state in which more medals can be expected after the gaming state are applied. It ’s fine.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, an AT having an average number of continued games of 40-50 games is applied as the first advantageous state, and an average number of games is 200 games as the second advantageous state that is more advantageous than the first advantageous state. AT, that is, an AT having a larger average number of continuous games than AT is applied as the first advantageous state, but the second advantageous state is a state in which the end condition is preferentially given over the first advantageous state, In other words, it may be a state where the probability that the end condition is satisfied, a state where the period until the end condition is satisfied is long, or a state where the expected medal acquisition value per game is higher than the first advantageous state. The second advantageous state includes a state in which the number of continuing games is surely greater than that in the first advantageous state, a state in which the number of continuing games is higher than that in the first advantageous state, and a state in which the number of continued games is higher than in the first advantageous state. Add In a state where the number of played games or the average number of games is large, or a specific role over the first advantageous state (a replaying role, a small role, a special role, or a role such as SP replay to which a right advantageous to the player is granted) Is a high probability of winning, a display result advantageous to the player (a display result accompanied by the grant of a medal, a display result accompanied by a transition to a state advantageous to the player, avoiding a transition to a state disadvantageous to the player A state in which the probability that information advantageous to the player is notified, such as an operation mode for deriving a display result or the like (stop order, stop operation timing, and combinations thereof) is higher than the first advantageous state, these players A state in which the information advantageous to the player is higher than the first advantageous state, the number of times the information advantageous to the player is notified, or the average number of times is higher than the first advantageous state. State, higher continuation rate than the first advantageous state, the total number of medals paid out or the net increase (the number obtained by subtracting the number of bets used for the bet) from the first advantageous state The second advantageous state is a state in which an advantageous right such as Navistock is granted under a more advantageous condition than the first advantageous state, such as the high probability mode described above. It may be applied.

  In this embodiment, when Navistock 2 is won, not only the undigested Navistock 1 remaining at that time is converted to Navistock 2 but also until a predetermined condition is satisfied (this embodiment) Navistock 1 won in AT lottery 1 until the AT lottery opportunity is established 5 times) is also converted to Navistock 2, and when Navistock 2 is won, Even if there is no undigested Navistock 1 or a small number of Navistock 1, the Navistock 1 that has been won by the time the predetermined condition is met is also changed to Navistock 2. Even if Navistock 2 wins in a difficult situation, the loss feeling felt by the player can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the fact that the AT lottery opportunity is established five times as a predetermined condition is applied, but at least the Navistock 1 won in the AT lottery 1 also becomes the Navistock 2 until the condition is established. If the configuration is converted, it has the same effect as described above. For example, the navigation stock 1 won in the AT lottery 1 may be changed to the navigation stock 2 over the period until the AT ends. good.

  Also, in this embodiment, when SP replay was won in normal / RT0-4, that is, even though the lottery opportunity of Navistock 2 was established, Navistock 1 was won and Navistock 2 was not won If the number of times continues for a specific number of times (10 times in this embodiment), when the next SP replay is won in normal / RT4, AT lottery 1 is not performed, and AT lottery 2 is considered as winning of Navistock 2. The number of Navistock 2 won is awarded. That is, in this case, Navistock 2 will always win. For this reason, even if Navistock 2 is not elected and Navistock 1 is elected when Navistock 2 can be elected, Navistock 2 is elected and the Navi that has been saved by continuing such a situation continuously The expectation that stock 1 will be changed to Navistock 2 can be effectively increased.

  In this embodiment, the number of times that Navistock 1 was won and Navistock 2 was not won despite the fact that the Navistock 2 lottery opportunity was established continued for a specific number of times (in this example, 10 times). In this case, when the next SP replay is won, Navistock 2 will always win. However, even though Navistock 2's lottery opportunity was established, Navistock 1 won and Navistock 2 If the number of times of not winning is consecutive for a specific number of times, the number of times that Navistock 2 has not won will be consecutive for a specific number of times even though the lottery opportunity for Navistock 2 was established when the next SP replay was won. The same effect as described above can be obtained even if the Navistock 2 wins at a higher rate than the case where it is not.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the SP replay is won, the AT lottery 1 for determining whether or not to grant the navigation stock 1 is performed, and the navigation is performed when the navigation stock 1 is not won in the AT lottery 1. Although the stock 2 is provided, the lottery for determining whether or not the navigation stock 1 is given and the lottery for determining whether or not the navigation stock 2 is given may be performed separately.

  In this case, if the Navistock 2 is not selected in succession in the lottery for determining whether or not the Navistock 2 is determined, the Navistock 2 is selected more than usual in the next lottery for determining the Navistock 2. If you decide with a high probability, make sure to decide Navistock 2, or if Navistock 1 won more than a certain number without winning Navistock 2 in the lottery to decide Navistock 2, the next time Even if Navistock 2 is determined with a higher probability than usual in the lottery for determining Navistock 2, or the Navistock 2 is always determined, the stored Navistock 1 is changed to Navistock 2. It is possible to effectively increase the expectation of being done.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the AT lottery 1 that is executed when the SP replay is won in normal / RT0 to RT4, when the number of undigested Navistock 1 remaining at that time is less than 5, 5 or more The probability that Navistock 1 will not win, that is, the probability that Navistock 2 will win will be higher than in the above case. For this reason, even if the number of undigested Navistock 1 decreases, the probability that Navistock 2 will win is increased accordingly, and as a result, the remaining Navistock 1 is also easily changed to Navistock 2. Even if the remaining amount is reduced, the interest can be continued until the end, and the number of navigation stocks 1 converted into the navigation stocks 2 can be limited, so that it is possible to prevent excessive gambling.

  In this embodiment, when the number of undigested Navistock 1 is less than 5, the probability that Navistock 2 will be won is higher than the case of 5 or more. The configuration may be such that the Navistock 2 can be elected only when the number is less than the predetermined number, and in this way, the interest when the remaining Navistock 1 is reduced can be effectively enhanced, and the Navistock Since the number of navigation stocks 1 converted into 2 can be surely limited, it is possible to effectively prevent excessive gambling.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the navigation stock 2 is won, the background screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is changed to a mode indicating that the navigation stock 2 has been won, and a circle mark indicating the number of the navigation stock 1 is displayed. By changing to the ☆ mark indicating the number of 2, the fact that Navistock 1 has been converted to Navistock 2 is informed, and the expectation that AT will be controlled over a larger number of games Can be effectively increased.

  In addition, after Navi Stock 2 is won, it is changed when Navi Stock 2 is initially won over the period until the AT lottery opportunity is established five times, that is, during the period when the winning Navi Stock 1 is converted to Navi Stock 2. The mode of the liquid crystal display 51 is maintained, and if the navigation stock 1 is won during this time, it is informed that it will be converted to the navigation stock 2, The expectation for being controlled by AT over a larger number of games can be effectively increased.

  In this embodiment, the fact that Navistock 2 has been won is notified by changing the aspect of the background screen of the liquid crystal display 51, but at least the player can recognize that Navistock 2 has been won. As long as it is informed, the mode can be applied in various ways, for example, informing by displaying on the liquid crystal display 51, informing by turning on an LED or the like, or informing by outputting a production sound. It is good also as what reports by these combination. The same applies to the notification mode indicating the number of navigation stocks 1 and 2 and the notification mode indicating that the navigation stock 1 is converted into the navigation stock 2 when the navigation stock 1 is won.

  The sub-control unit 91 stores the number of games won in the game number lottery in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 controls to AT during a period until the number of games in the RAM 91c becomes zero. When the number of games remains and the target role of navigation is won, a navigation effect is executed.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs AT management processing, and controls to non-AT when the remaining number of games becomes 0 in ART. At this time, if the number of Navistock 1 stored in the Navistock 1 storage area and the number of Navistock 2 stored in the Navistock 2 storage area are both 0, it is updated to the AT flag indicating that it is not AT. Is done. That is, a series of AT termination conditions are satisfied when both Navistock 1 and Navistock 2 become 0.

  When it is specified from the AT flag when it is controlled to be non-AT that it is not AT, it is not controlled again by the AT and the navigation effect is not executed. As a result, when the normal / RT0 or the normal / RT2 is selected, there is a high possibility that the transition outcomes are aligned, and the possibility that the normal / RT1 is controlled is increased.

  On the other hand, if the number of navigation stocks 1 stored in the navigation stock 1 storage area or the number of navigation stocks 2 stored in the navigation stock 2 storage area is 1 or more when controlled to non-AT, the navigation When the target role is selected, Navistock 1 or Navistock 2 is consumed (if Navistock 2 remains, it is consumed with priority over Navistock 2), depending on the type of Navistock The number of games is drawn using the table, and the AT is controlled until a navigation effect is performed over the number of winning games. Then, the navigation stock 1 and the navigation stock 2 become 0, and the number of times of navigation becomes 0, so that the AT ends.

  The sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state when the AT flag is specified by the AT management process. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1-6 when it is normal / RT1, replay GR11-16, replay GR21-25 when it is normal / RT0, and replay GR31 when it is normal / RT2. ~ 36. Further, in normal / RT0 to RT3, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR1 to GR6, a push order (see FIG. 17) for winning a promotion replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR1. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR2, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR5, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 6 is won, a message such as “Right Middle Left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 16 are won, a push order (see FIG. 17) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR11. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 12, a message such as “Middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 13, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 14, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 15 is won, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 16 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR21 to GR25, a push order (see FIG. 17) for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 21. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 22 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the replay GR 23 is won. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 24 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 25 is won, a message such as “Right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect (excluding RT3) when the replays GR31 to 36 are won, a push order (see FIG. 17) for winning SP replays according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when the replay GR 31 is won. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 32 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 33 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 34, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 35, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 36 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 18) for surely winning a right-down bell or a middle bell is notified. For example, when winning the left bell, the left reel is stopped as the first stop reel, so that the right falling bell can be reliably won, so “left!” For stopping the left reel as the first stop reel. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle bell can be surely won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so “medium!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Also, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel, so “right!” For stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to make the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, the SP replay winning, the bell winning selected intentionally, and avoid the falling replay winning.

  In the AT control process, the sub-control unit 91 performs a lottery mode lottery that determines whether the AT lottery mode is the normal mode, the high probability A mode, or the high probability B mode. In the lottery mode lottery, based on a command from the main control unit 41, a predetermined lottery condition (in this embodiment, a normal watermelon (weak watermelon, strong watermelon) is won at RT0 to 4 or at the end of AT) is established. The lottery mode lottery is executed when it is established.

  The lottery mode indicates the winning probability of Navistock 1 and Navistock 2 applied to the AT lottery as described above. The higher probability A mode and the higher probability B mode than the high probability A mode can be expected to acquire more navigation stock 1 and navigation stock 2 than the normal mode.

  Usually, when the lottery mode lottery condition is established by winning the weak watermelon in RT0 to RT4, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the weak watermelon in FIG. For example, the sub-control unit 91 specifies normal / RT0 to 4 based on the game state command from the main control unit 41, and specifies weak watermelon winning based on the internal winning command.

  When the table corresponding to the weak watermelon in FIG. 28 is referenced, the normal mode is determined at a rate of 50%, the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 40%, and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 10%. As described above, a lottery mode lottery is performed.

  Normally, when the lottery mode lottery condition is established by winning the strong watermelon in RT0 to RT4, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the strong watermelon in FIG. For example, the sub-control unit 91 specifies normal RT0 to RT4 based on the game state command from the main control unit 41, and specifies strong watermelon winning based on the internal winning command.

  When the table corresponding to the strong watermelon in FIG. 28 is referred to, the lottery mode lottery is performed so that the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 50% and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 50%. .

  When the lottery mode lottery condition is satisfied by the AT end, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the AT end of FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies the AT end based on the AT flag and the number of remaining games, for example.

  When the table corresponding to the AT end in FIG. 28 is referred to, the lottery mode lottery is performed so that the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 80% and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 20%. .

  In addition, when controlled to the high probability A mode and the high probability B mode, the mode drop lottery is performed at the time of normal / replay of normal RT0, 1, 2, 4 and the high probability A mode is selected. If it is RT0, 1, 4, it will shift to the normal mode with a probability of about 1/9 at the time of normal replay winning, and if it is normal · RT2, it will shift to the normal mode with a probability of about 1/60 at the time of normal replay winning If it is high-probability B mode and normal / RT0, 1, and 4, it will shift to high-probability A mode with a probability of about 1/3 of normal replay winning, and if it is normal / RT2, normal replay winning Transition to high probability mode A with a probability of 1/20 of the hour.

  In the sub-control unit 91, as described above, when the SP replay is won, the AT lottery 1 and 2 are performed, and the winning of one or more Navistock 1 or Navistock 2 is obtained. Furthermore, when the SP replay is won in normal / RT2, one or more navigation stock 1 or navigation stock 2 can be obtained, and the winning probability of the replay GR 31 to 36 in which SP replay is allowed is normal / RT2. Higher than normal and RT3.

  Also, the sub-control unit 91 controls to any one of the no-navigation section, the partial navigation section, and the entire navigation section as shown in FIG. 29 in normal / RT3.

  The section without navigation is a section without any navigation when the replays GR31 to 36 are selected. In normal / RT3, a special replay win will result in a transition to normal / RT2, so if replay GR31-36 is won in a no-navigation section, SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6. One or more Navi stocks will be awarded, and a normal replay will be awarded with a probability of 1/6. These will be combined to maintain a normal RT3 with a probability of 1/3, while a special replay will be awarded with a probability of 4/6. Then, the normal / RT2 transition is made with a probability of 2/3.

  The partial navigation section is a section in which partial navigation is performed in which only the first stop reel that can maintain at least normal / RT3 at the time of winning the replays GR31 to 36 is executed. For this reason, when replay GR31-36 is elected in a partial navigation section, the SP replay wins with a probability of 1/2 by stopping the first stop reel notified by partial navigation first. Even if one or more navigation stocks are given and the SP replay does not win, the normal replay wins with a probability of 1/2 and the normal / RT3 is maintained.

  The whole navigation section is a section in which full navigation is performed in which the push order that can win the SP replay when the replays GR31 to 36 are won is notified. For this reason, if the replays GR31 to 36 are won in all navigation sections, the reels are stopped in the order informed by the entire navigation, so that the SP replay will win and at least one navigation stock will be given. It becomes.

  In some navigation sections, a part of navigation is performed in which the first stop reel is notified to enable normal / RT3 to be maintained when replays GR31 to 36 are selected, and replays GR31 to 36 are selected in all navigation sections. In some cases, the entire navigation system that notifies the push order that allows the SP replay to be awarded is executed, but the notification mode in these partial navigation systems and all navigation systems is the same as the navigation effect described above. An aspect may be sufficient and a different aspect may be sufficient.

  Also, in normal / RT3, in any section, when the push order bell is won, the above-mentioned navigation effect is executed, so if the stop operation is performed in the notified order, normal / RT3 Normally, there is no transition to RT1.

  In addition, while controlled to normal / RT3, even if some navigation, all navigation, and navigation effects are executed, the number of AT games will not progress, and if you switch to normal / RT3 during AT In the meantime, the Navistock number is not digested.

  When the sub-control unit 91 shifts to normal / RT3, the sub-control unit 91 first determines whether to control to a non-navigation section, to a partial navigation section, or to control to an entire navigation section. These differ in the proportion of the sections controlled according to the state before the transition to normal / RT3. For example, in this embodiment, if the state before the transition is non-AT, the no-navigation section, the partial navigation section, and the entire navigation section are determined equally, and if the state before the transition is AT, the partial navigation section Or all navigation sections are determined equally. Further, when the state before the transition is AT and the lottery mode is the high probability B mode, the entire navigation section is determined.

  When the transition to a partial navigation section or the entire navigation section is determined, a navigation number lottery for determining the remaining number of partial navigations or all navigations is performed. The number of times of winning the navigation is stored in the RAM 91c, and 1 is subtracted every time the replay GR 31-36 is selected and a partial navigation or a full navigation is executed.

  In this embodiment, when a transition to a partial navigation section or an entire navigation section is determined, a navigation number lottery is performed, and a partial navigation or a total navigation is executed for the selected number of navigations. The number of times of navigation may be determined as the number of times of navigation without performing the number of times of navigation. In addition, when the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won in the partial navigation section or the entire navigation section, a navigation execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the partial navigation or the entire navigation is performed. A configuration may be adopted in which all navigation is performed, and when the transition to a partial navigation section or all navigation sections is determined, the winning probability of the navigation execution lottery is determined from a plurality of different probabilities.

  Moreover, once it shifts to all the navigation sections, it shifts to a part navigation section when the number of times of navigation becomes 0 without shifting to other sections until the number of navigations won at that time becomes 0. . When all navigation sections are finished, skip all navigation sections and move to no-navigation sections without skipping some navigation sections. To do. When a transition is made from the entire navigation section to the partial navigation section, the navigation frequency lottery is performed again, and the navigation frequency of the partial navigation section is determined. When the number of times of navigation in a part of the navigation section is also zero, the transition is made to the section without navigation, during which the replays GR31 to 36 are elected, and the special replay wins to transition to RT2.

  Also, if a role with a relatively low probability of winning, such as cherry or watermelon, is won in a non-navigation section or a partial navigation section, if there is no navigation section, a partial navigation section or a partial navigation section In the section, the section promotion lottery that decides whether or not to be promoted to all navigation sections is performed, and by winning, if there is no navigation section, some navigation sections or all navigation sections, some navigation sections Then, it shifts to the whole navigation section. In addition, even if some navigation sections are not promoted to all navigation sections, a lottery will be added to the number of navigations, and if you win, the number of winning will be added to the number of navigations Yes. In addition, if a role with a relatively low probability of winning such as cherry or watermelon is won in all navigation sections, a lottery will be added to the number of navigations, and if won, the number of times won will be added to the number of navigations. It has become.

  In this embodiment, in a no-navigation section or a partial navigation section, if a role with a relatively low probability of winning such as cherry or watermelon is elected, if there is no navigation section, a partial navigation section or all navigation sections, In some Navi sections, a lottery for the promotion of sections to determine whether or not to be promoted to all Navi sections and a lottery with an additional number of navigations are performed, but in some Navi sections, SP Replay was won by oneself If the answer is correct in the order of pushing the SP replay on its own, or if the normal replay or SP replay is won on its own in the no-navigation section, that is, if the normal replay or SP replay is awarded on its own, You may make it perform a promotion lottery or an addition lottery.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram showing a transition state of the navigation section in normal / RT3.

  For example, at the time of transition to normal / RT3, when transition to a partial navigation section is determined and two winnings are determined in the navigation number lottery, the transition is to a partial navigation section, and the remaining number of navigations is two. When the replays GR31 to 34 are elected in this state, a partial navigation in which only the first stop reel capable of maintaining the normal / RT3 is informed is performed, and the normal / RT3 is maintained by performing a stop operation accordingly, The remaining number of navigations is one.

  In this state, if the cherries are won, promoted to all navigation sections, and once won in the navigation count lottery, the system shifts to all navigation sections, and the remaining navigation count is one. When replay GR31-34 is elected in this state, all navigation is performed in which the stop order in which normal / RT3 is maintained and SP replay can be won is notified, and the stop operation is performed accordingly, -RT3 will be maintained and one or more navigation stock will be given. Then, the remaining number of times of navigation is 0, and a shift is made to a part of the navigation section, so the number of navigation times is selected. If the number of times of navigation is selected three times, the system shifts to a partial navigation section, and the remaining number of times of navigation is three. In this state, the watermelon is won and there is no promotion to all navigation, but if the number of navigation times is added and the lottery is won once, some navigation sections are maintained and the number of navigation times is increased to 4 times. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, in the normal / RT3, when the replays GR31 to 36 are selected, one or more SP replays are awarded, and the special replay that will shift to the normal / RT2 is performed. It is possible to avoid winnings of special replays that will shift to at least normal / RT2 when winning all of the replays GR31-36, all navigation sections in which all navigations in which the stop order to avoid winnings is notified are executed. When there is a partial navigation section in which partial navigation in which only the first stop reel is informed is executed, and no navigation section in which none is notified, and when the first navigation is controlled to the entire navigation section, after the end of all navigation sections Since it is designed to shift to a partial navigation section without immediately shifting to a no-navigation section, all notifications are immediately ended even if all navigation sections are ended. It is possible to win the navigation stock by winning the SP replay by yourself while avoiding the transition to normal / RT2 by being controlled to a part of the navigation section. Can be effectively increased.

  Further, in the state where the number of navigations in all navigation sections remains in RT3, that is, the number of all navigations in which the stop order in which the SP replay is won and the navigation stock can be acquired is informed remains one. There is no transition to the partial navigation section or the no-navigation section, and the transition to the partial navigation section is always made after the number of navigations reaches zero, even though the number of navigations for all navigation sections remains. Therefore, the player can surely digest the number of navigations in the entire navigation section without shifting to a partial navigation section or a section without navigation that is disadvantageous to the entire navigation section.

  Further, the condition for avoiding the transition to normal / RT2 in the normal / RT3 is the first stop reel to be stopped first among the three reels, and the winning condition for the SP replay is to be stopped first in the three reels. The first stop reel and the second stop reel to be stopped next, the latter is reported in all navigation sections, and the former is reported in some navigations in some navigation sections. However, the reel can be stopped by the notified operation mode.

  In addition, a promotion lottery that determines whether or not to be promoted to all navigation sections or partial navigation sections by winning a role with a relatively low probability of winning such as watermelon or cherry in some navigation sections or no navigation sections. If it is selected and won, it will be promoted to the entire navigation section or partial navigation section, so the expectation that navigation stock can be acquired even if the entire navigation section or partial navigation section ends in RT3 is maintained Can be made.

  Even if the special replay wins in normal / RT3 and shifts to normal / RT2, it is possible to shift to normal / RT3 again by winning SP replay in normal / RT2, so normal / RT3 Even if the process ends and the process moves to RT2, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that navigation stock can be acquired.

  In addition, even in the case of normal RT1, which is the most unfavorable gaming state for the player and does not directly shift to normal RT3, the game proceeds to normal RT0 when the promoted replay wins in the normal RT1. In this normal / RT0, when the special replay wins, the normal / RT3 may be directly transferred to the normal / RT3. Therefore, the normal / RT1 also shifts to the normal / RT3 to acquire the navigation stock. You can have a sense of expectation.

  In this embodiment, when the AT target combination is won, the stop mode changes according to the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. However, as the AT target combination, the stop switches 8L, 8C, The stop mode may be changed in accordance with both the operation timing of 8R (so-called eye-pressing timing) and the operation timing and stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. As an operation mode that is advantageous to the player when the AT target combination is won, an effect of notifying the timing of the stop operation or both the timing of the stop operation and the pressing order may be performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, SP replay to which one or more navigation stocks are given is applied as an advantageous display result advantageous to the player, but at least a display result advantageous to the player may be used. Display results with a high probability of winning Navistock or a high average value of the number of winning Navistock, and a display result of whether or not to shift to a state advantageous to the player, such as the lottery mode lottery described above May be applied.

  Also, in this embodiment, the normal gaming state is the gaming state that is the most disadvantageous for the player, and the normal replay that does not shift directly to the normal RT3, that is, the promotion replay wins in the normal RT1. Transition to normal / RT0, and in this normal / RT0, a special replay wins to make a transition to normal / RT2 where there is a possibility of direct transition to normal / RT3. At least from normal RT1 as RT1 A configuration that does not shift to normal / RT2 that can be shifted directly to normal / RT3 may be used, or a configuration that can shift directly from normal / RT1 to normal / RT2 may be used.・ Normal / RT2 may be directly transferred to normal / RT3 when conditions for transition to normal / RT2 are satisfied in RT1 Since the row, also shifts to the normal · RT3 in the normal · RT1, it is possible to have a sense of expectation to be to win the Navi stock.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, one winning line LN set for determining whether or not a combination of symbols constituting a winning combination, and a symbol constituting a winning on the winning line LN are displayed. In order to make it easy to recognize that the combination is complete, it includes four invalid lines LM1 to LM4 set separately from the winning line LN, and a specific symbol combination (for example, bell-bell) is included in the winning line LN. -Bell) The first combination (middle bell, middle watermelon, middle cherry, normal replay, promotion replay 1) that wins a prize and a predetermined symbol combination (for example, replay) other than a specific symbol combination on the winning line LN -Bell-Replay) is awarded and the same value as the first combination (for example, the same number of medals or replays) is given, and the invalid lines LM1 to LM1 A second combination (for example, bell-bell-bell) with a specific symbol combination (for example, right-down bell for middle replay, upper bell, right-down watermelon for middle watermelon, upper watermelon, middle cherry) A lower cherry, a lower replay for normal replay, a fall replay, and a promoted replay 2) for promoted replay 1. The middle cherries are given one medal, while the lower cherries are given two medals. In this case, the middle cherries are only placed on one line. -ANY-ANY "will stop, while the lower cherries will stop at" Cherry-ANY-ANY ", which will stop at one line. On the other hand, since it can be recognized that one medal is given, it can be said that the same value is given in this respect.

  In this embodiment, when the normal replay as the first combination wins, that is, when the combination of replay / plum-replay-replay / plum is aligned with the winning line LN, the transition of RT is not involved. When the fall replay which is the second role corresponding to the normal replay wins, that is, when the combination of the replay / plum-replay-replay / plum is aligned on the invalid line LM4, the normal / RT0 is changed to the normal / RT1. Will be migrated.

  In other words, in this embodiment, different RT settings are made according to the line where the combination of replay / plum-replay-replay / plum is arranged among the winning line LN and the invalid lines LM1 to LM1-4. 41 only determines whether the replay has been won normally or the fall replay has been won, that is, only the symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN, and without determining the symbol combination aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. It is possible to set different RTs depending on the line in which the combination of plum-replay-replay / plum is arranged.

  In this embodiment, the first combination and the second combination in which different RTs are set are not won simultaneously. For example, in normal / RT0, the first combination and the second combination are won simultaneously. In the case of stopping in the first stop order, the first winning combination is won and the normal / RT1 is transferred, while the second stop order is different from the first stop order. For example, the configuration may be such that the second winning combination is won and transferred to normal / RT2, and such a configuration allows the first winning combination and the second winning combination to be won simultaneously in normal / RT0. Depending on the stop order selected by the player, the lines where the specific symbol combinations are arranged are different, and further, different RT settings can be made according to the differences in the lines where the specific symbol combinations are aligned. Also in this case, different RT settings are made according to the line having a specific symbol combination among the winning line LN and the invalid lines LM1 to LM1-4. However, the main control unit 41 has the first role. Whether a winning combination or a second combination has been won, that is, only by determining the symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN, without determining the symbol combination aligned with the invalid line LM1-4, a specific symbol combination It is possible to set different RTs according to the aligned lines.

  In addition, when the first combination and the second combination are won simultaneously as described above, and the first combination is stopped in the first stop order, the first combination is won, while the first stop order is In the case of stopping in a different second stop order, in the configuration in which the second combination is won, the first stop order and the second combination are selected as winning combinations that simultaneously win the first combination and the second combination. It is preferable to have multiple types of winning combinations with different stopping orders, that is, having multiple types of winning combinations with different stopping orders in which a specific symbol combination is aligned with the winning line LN and stopping stops on the invalid line. In order to align the specific symbol combination to the winning line LN and the specific symbol combination to the invalid line LM according to the type of the winning combination for winning the first combination and the second combination at the same time. Changing the stop order of Can.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the first combination wins, the sub-control unit 91 blinks the reel LED 55 in the area corresponding to the symbol constituting the specific symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN, and so on. By turning off the reel LED 55 in the area, a line emphasis effect that emphasizes the line with a specific symbol combination is performed, and when the second combination wins, the predetermined symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN The reel LED 55 in the area corresponding to the symbol constituting the specific symbol combination arranged in any one of the invalid lines L1 to L4 is blinked, and the reel LED 55 in the other area is turned off to obtain a specific symbol combination. A line-enhancement effect is performed to emphasize the line, and when the second role wins, a set of symbols aligned with the winning line LN Not a match, it is possible to direct the consciousness of the player to a particular symbol combination, which was aligned with the invalid line LM.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 performs line emphasis production based on the winning determination command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Specifically, the main control unit 41 determines whether the first combination has won or the second combination has won when a specific symbol combination is aligned with either the winning line LN or the invalid lines LM1 to LM1-4. That is, only information that can specify the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN is transmitted as a winning determination command, and the sub-control unit 91 determines the winning line LN when the winning of the first combination is specified from the winning determination command. When the second combination winning is specified from the winning determination command while the reel LED 55 in the area corresponding to is controlled to blink, a specific symbol combination corresponding to the type of the second combination is invalid. The line LM is specified, and the reel LED 55 in the area corresponding to the specified invalid line LM is controlled to blink.

  Thus, when the sub-control unit 91 performs the line emphasis effect, the main control unit 41 receives the first combination when the specific symbol combination is aligned with either the winning line LN or the invalid lines LM1 to LM1-4. Whether or not the second combination has won, that is, only information that can identify the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN is transmitted as the winning determination command, and the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 as described above. It is not necessary to determine the combination of symbols arranged in the same manner, and an increase in the data amount of the winning determination command can be suppressed.

  In this embodiment, the invalid line LM is set to a line that passes through the symbols arranged in a straight line on the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel as in the case of the winning line LN. , A line that passes through any one of the symbols stopped on each reel of the right reel, and is set to a line other than the winning line LN. For example, the upper symbol of the left reel, the middle symbol of the middle reel, It may be set to a line that bends, such as a line that passes through the upper symbol of the right reel. The same applies to the winning line LN.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a specific symbol combination is aligned on the invalid line LM, a specific symbol combination is aligned by blinking the reel LED 55 in the area corresponding to the invalid line LM including the specific symbol combination. A line emphasis effect for emphasizing a line is performed, and it is possible to reliably recognize that a specific symbol combination is arranged in the invalid line LM.

  In this embodiment, a line emphasis effect is performed in order to surely recognize that a specific symbol combination is aligned on the invalid line LM. However, for example, the reel panel 1c and the transparent window 3 are also provided. Including decorations such as printing or forming a line that does not hinder the visual recognition of the design, or printing or forming a part of the line passing through the design in the area excluding the perspective window 3 of the reel panel 1c. Thus, by making it possible to recognize the invalid line LM in which the specific symbol combination can be aligned, it may be recognized that the specific symbol combination is aligned in the invalid line LM.

  Further, in this embodiment, there is no match to the winning line LN other than the specific symbol combinations that can be won when the winning line LN is aligned or when the winning line LM is aligned, but the winning line LN is not aligned. A predetermined symbol combination that is easier to understand than the symbol combinations aligned with the line LN has a third role of aligning with the invalid line LM. The third role corresponds to a right-up bell, a right-up bevel, a right-up rebebe, a part of lower replay, and SP replay.

  The right-up bell is a stop mode in which “bell-bell-bell” is aligned with the invalid line LM4 rising to the right in RB, and “black 7 / white 7 / watermelon bell-orange / BAR” stops at the winning line LN. It can be said that it is an easy-to-understand combination of symbols.

  As for the right-up bevel and the right-up rebebe, at least two “bells” are stopped on the right-up invalid line LM4 together with the right-up bell, and “bell”, “replay”, “ This is a stop mode in which only one of “Plum” is stopped, and in RB, a small part can be formed only by a combination of “Bell”, “Replay”, and “Plum” stopped on the invalid line LM4. It can be said that the combination of symbols is easier to understand than “Black 7-Bell-Bell”, “White 7-Bell-Bell” and “Watermelon Bell-Bell” which stop at the line LN.

  A part of the lower replay is “Replay / Plum-Replay-Watermelon / Cherry / Net 7 / White 7” or “Replay / Plum-Plum-Replay / Plum / Watermelon / Cherry / Net 7 / White” on the lower line LM2. 7 ”is a stop mode in which“ Replay ”or“ Plum ”always stops at the invalid line LM2 of the lower and middle reels of the left reel, and a combination of symbols that stop at the winning line LN, that is,“ Bell ” It can be said that it is an easy-to-understand combination of symbols, except for “orange-orange”, as compared to a stop mode in which all the symbols constituting the combination are different.

  The SP replay is a stop mode in which “BAR / Orange-BAR / Orange-BAR / Orange” stops on the invalid line LM4 that rises to the right, that is, “BAR” or “Orange” always stops on the invalid line LM4 that rises to the right. It is an aspect, and it can be said that the combination of symbols that stop at the winning line LN, that is, a combination of symbols that is easy to understand compared to a stop aspect in which the symbols constituting the combination are all different.

  Also, when the third combination wins and the predetermined symbol combination is aligned on the invalid line LM, the invalid line LM including the predetermined symbol combination is aligned as in the case where the specific symbol combination is aligned. By blinking the reel LED 55 in the area corresponding to the above, a line emphasis effect for emphasizing a line with a specific symbol combination is performed, and that a predetermined symbol combination is aligned with the invalid line LM. It can be surely recognized.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the first to third roles described above, the symbol combinations that are aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning are easier to understand than the symbol combinations that are aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to LM1 or the winning line LN. And a fourth combination that does not change the ease of understanding of the symbol combinations aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. The fourth combination corresponds to a single combination and special replay.

  In addition, when the fourth winning combination is won, the reel LED 55 in the area corresponding to the winning line LN having the fourth winning symbol combination is blinked, so that the line having the fourth winning symbol combination is obtained. A line emphasis effect for emphasizing is provided, and it is possible to reliably recognize that the winning combination LN has a combination of symbols of the fourth role.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d of the front door 1b are combined with either the winning line LN or the invalid lines LM1 to LM1 to the winning symbol combination, A payout table 1 in which values given at times are associated with each other is displayed.

  These payout tables 1 are directly printed on the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d, and can always be confirmed.

  In the payout table 1, on the reel panel 1c side, symbols BB1 to 4 ("black 7-black 7-black 7", "net 7-net 7-net 7", "white 7-white 7-white 7", " Black 7-white 7-net 7 ") and" BIG BONUS "indicating BB (RB) given in accordance with winnings of BB1 to BB4 are displayed in association with each other. "Net 7-Net 7-Black 7", "White 7-White 7-Black 7" and ") are displayed in association with RBs to be given in accordance with winnings of RBs 1 and 2.

  On the lower panel 1d of the payout table 1, the first combination (middle bell, middle watermelon, middle cherry, normal replay) and the second combination (lower right bell for middle bell, upper bell, lower right watermelon for middle watermelon) , Upper watermelon, lower cherry for middle cherry, part of lower replay for normal replay, fall replay, promoted replay 2 for promoted replay 1), that is, the given value is the same and a specific symbol combination (middle bell, right "Bell-Bell-Bell", "Cherry-ANY-ANY" for the falling bell, the upper bell, "Black 7 / White 7 / Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon" for the middle watermelon, the lower right watermelon, the upper watermelon, normal replay, lower “Replay / Plum-Replay-Replay / Plum” for replays, tumble replays, promoted replays For the role in which “Replay / Plum-Replay-Bell” for 1 and 2 is aligned with either the winning line LN or the invalid lines LM1 to LM1-4, a combination of specific symbols and values given at the time of winning ( “Bell-Bell-Bell” is “8”, “Cherry-ANY-ANY” is “1”, “Black 7 / White 7 / Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon” is “5”, “Replay / Plum-Replay-Replay” / PLUM / BELL "is displayed in association with" REPLAY ").

  In addition, the fourth combination (one-piece combination, right-up bell, special replay), that is, the symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning is easier to understand than the symbol combination aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to LM1-4. For the combination that does not change the ease of understanding of the symbol combination aligned with the line LN and the symbol combination aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to 4, the symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning ("Black 7-Cherry-net" 7 "," bell-replay-replay / plum "for special replay) and the value given at that time (" black 7-cherry-net 7 "is" 1 "," bell-replay-replay / plum "is" REPLAY ") are displayed in association with each other.

  On the other hand, the symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN when the second combination is won, the symbol combination aligned with the winning line LN when the third winning combination, and the value given when these symbol combinations are aligned with the winning line LN. The display of the relationship between and is omitted.

  In this embodiment, when a long press (operation of 2 seconds or more) of the effect switch 56 is detected, the sub-control unit 91 performs the first to fourth roles as shown in FIG. For all, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the payout table 2 in which the symbol combinations aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning and the value given at that time are displayed in association with each other. In this embodiment, whether or not an effect is being performed on the liquid crystal display 51 and whether or not the game is in progress (except in the case of an error), a long press of the effect switch 56 is detected. If the payout is made, the payout table 2 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  In the payout table 2, as shown in FIG. 32, a symbol combination of BB1 to BB4, “BIG BONUS” indicating BB (RB) as a value given when the winning line LN is aligned, and BB (RB) The end condition of “BB ends with payout of 316 sheets or more” is displayed in association with each other.

  In addition, the symbol combination of RB1 and RB, “REGULAR BONUS” indicating RB as the value given when the winning line LN is aligned, and the RB end condition “RB is finished with 12G or 6 wins” Are displayed in association with each other.

  In addition, a combination of symbols of the small combination and the number of medals awarded when the corresponding small combination is won as a value to be given when the winning line LN is aligned are displayed in association with each other. The combination is displayed in association with “REPLAY” indicating replay as the value given when the winning line LN is aligned.

  For this reason, the player can confirm the relationship between the combination of symbols aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning and the value given at that time by pressing and holding the effect switch 56 for a long time. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, regardless of the display mode of the liquid crystal display 51, the payout table 1 of the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d that are always displayed is given the first and second combinations, that is, the award. The combination of specific symbol combinations and the value given at the time of winning a prize corresponds to the combination of specific symbol combinations in either the winning line LN or the invalid lines LM1 to LM1-4. The relationship between the combination of symbols that are displayed and added to the winning line LN at the time of winning the second combination and the value given at that time is omitted, and is not displayed. However, since the area occupied by the payout table 1 can be reduced, the design of the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d is not impaired.

  Further, by long-pressing the effect switch 56, the payout table 2 showing the relationship between the combination of symbols aligned with the winning line LN when the second combination is won and the value given at that time is displayed on the liquid crystal display. It is made to display on the device 51, and it becomes possible to confirm the actual symbol combination that will be awarded a prize by aligning with the winning line LN.

  In this embodiment, the payout table 2 is displayed by long-pressing the effect switch 56. However, the payout table 2 may be displayed at least when a predetermined display condition is satisfied. When the standby command transmitted from the main control unit 41 is received after a certain period of time has elapsed after the game is over, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a demonstration, and the payout table 2 is displayed as the demonstration display. Alternatively, the payout table 2 may be displayed by performing a predetermined operation (for example, an operation of the effect switch 56) during the demonstration display. In addition, the payout table 2 is displayed by long-pressing the effect switch 56 regardless of whether the game is being played or whether any effect image is being displayed. Alternatively, the payout table 2 may be displayed by operating the effect switch 56 only when a specific effect (for example, an effect that continues for two or more games) is not being performed. Further, the payout table 2 may be displayed after the game is over.

  In the present embodiment, the payout table 1 is displayed by printing on the reel panel 1c or the lower panel 1d. However, the payout table 1 may be displayed so that it can be always confirmed. The payout table 1 may be configured to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as long as it is always displayed in the highest layer even during production.

  Further, in this embodiment, regardless of the display mode of the liquid crystal display 51, the payout table 1 of the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d that are always displayed includes the first combination of the first combination and the second combination. Only a specific symbol combination that is aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning the combination is displayed in association with the value given at that time, and a predetermined symbol combination that is aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning the second winning combination However, at least a part of the predetermined symbol combinations that are aligned with the winning line LN at the time of winning the second combination may omit the relationship with the value given at that time. For example, in the payout table 1 of the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d, a specific symbol combination that is aligned with the winning line LN when the first combination is won and a predetermined symbol combination that is aligned with the winning line LN when the second combination is won. May be displayed on the payout table 1 of the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d, and the relationship between the remaining predetermined symbol combinations and the value given at that time may be omitted. Even if Table 1 is large and easy to see, the area occupied by the payout table 1 can be reduced, so that the design of the reel panel 1c and the lower panel 1d is not impaired.

  Further, in this embodiment, the symbol combination that is common to any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 is better than the symbol combination that is aligned to the winning line LN at the time of winning, such as the upper bell, upper watermelon, lower replay, and promotion replay 2. , A combination with a small number of combinations (for example, the upper bell has 8 combinations in the winning line LN, whereas the combination in the invalid line LM is one set of “bell-bell-bell”. )), Since the relationship between the symbol combinations aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 and the value given at that time is collectively displayed in the payout table 1, the area occupied by the payout table 1 is further increased. Can be reduced.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 performs a line emphasis effect that emphasizes the winning line LN when the first combination and the fourth combination win, and a specific symbol when the second combination wins. A line emphasis effect for emphasizing the invalid lines LM having the same combination is performed. That is, a line in which the symbol combinations displayed in the payout table 1 are aligned is emphasized by the line emphasis effect, and the player displays the lines on the payout table 1 based on the symbol combinations emphasized by the line emphasis effect. It is possible to easily grasp the relationship between the given symbol combination and the value given at that time.
