In addition to this, when the first pressing order bell is won, a navigation presentation is performed in a flamboyant presentation mode notifying corresponding operation procedures with emphasis, on the other hand when the second pressing order bell is won, the navigation presentation is performed in a low-key presentation mode.

Description

  The present invention includes a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable. After the variable display unit is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a winning according to the display result.

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer periphery, and first, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. Set and start rotation with the specified number of bets set, start rotation of the reel, and rotate by operating the stop switch as the derivation operation means provided for each reel Stop. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination is generated by deriving a predetermined winning combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a combination of symbols) on the winning line. .

  As types of roles, there are types such as a small role, a special role, and a replay role. Here, when the combination of symbols constituting the small combination is stopped on the winning line, the player can obtain a profit that the number of medals determined for each type of small combination is paid out. When the combination of symbols constituting the special combination is stopped on the winning line, the player can obtain a profit that the next game is shifted to a gaming state advantageous to the player such as a regular bonus or a big bonus. . When the combination of symbols constituting the re-gamer is stopped on the winning line (hereinafter also referred to as “re-game display result is derived”, etc.), the next medal is not consumed for setting the bet amount. The profit that a game can be performed can be obtained.

  In such a slot machine, in a game in which a predetermined first small combination and a second small combination different from the predetermined first small combination are simultaneously won, a stop switch is operated with an operation mode corresponding to the corresponding selection. When the is operated, the display result for winning the first small role is derived, while when the stop switch is operated in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to winning, the second small role is not the first small role. There is a slot machine capable of deriving a display result for winning (see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5008773

  However, in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, in the game in which the first small role and the second small role are simultaneously won, is the first small role winning generated by operating in the operation mode corresponding to the winning? The player's interest can be collected only about whether or not, and once the operation can be performed in the operation mode corresponding to the winning, the player's interest cannot be gathered up to the kind of the derived display result.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is a slot that can attract the player's interest in the types of display results derived when operated in the operation mode corresponding to winning. Is to provide a machine.

(1) A variable display section (for example, reels 2L, 2C, and 2R) that can variably display a plurality of types of identification information that can each be identified,
In the slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a winning result can be generated according to the display result after the variable display portion is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display portion.
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player to derive the display result;
Prior determination means (for example, internal lottery processing by the main control unit 41) for determining a display result that allows derivation from among a plurality of types of display results before the display results are derived;
Derivation control means (for example, reel rotation processing by the main control unit 41) for performing control for deriving a display result in accordance with the determination result of the prior determination means and the operation of the derivation operation means;
Informing means (for example, processing for executing a navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91) for informing information capable of specifying the operation mode of the derivation operation means,
The derivation control means includes
In the case where the pre-determining means permits the derivation of the first display result (for example, the middle bell symbol combination) (for example, winning of the first push order bell such as the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4). The derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the first display result (for example, middle first stop when middle bells 1 to 4 are won, right first stop when right bells 1 to 4 are won). Control for deriving the first display result at the time, and an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the first display result (e.g., left and right first stop, right bell when middle bells 1 to 4 are won) Display results other than the first display result when the derivation operation means is operated at the first stop (left / middle first stop when winning 1 to 4) (for example, upper bell, transitional outcome, off-going symbol combination) ) To control If, see FIG. 17),
When the predetermination means permits the derivation of a second display result (for example, a symbol combination of a downward-sloping bell) having a different advantage (for example, the number of payouts) from the first display result (for example, a medium bell 8, in the second push order bell winning such as right bell 5-8, the operation mode corresponding to the second display result (for example, when middle bell 5-8 is won, middle first stop, right bell 5-5 When the derivation operation means is operated in the first stop on the right when 8 is won, control is performed to derive the second display result, and an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the second display result (for example, When the middle bell 5-8 is elected, the left / right first stop, and when the right bell 5-8 is elected, the left / center first stop), when the derivation operation means is operated, other than the second display result Display results (for example, upper bell Migration outcome, performs control to derive the symbol combination) of out-outcome (e.g., see FIG. 17),
The notification means includes
When the predetermination means permits the derivation of the first display result, the first notification mode (for example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-1), a large numeric image is displayed and a voice is loud. Information that can specify the operation mode corresponding to the first display result in a mode output in volume) (see, for example, FIG. 27 (a-1)),
When the predetermination means permits the derivation of the second display result, the second notification mode (for example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), the numerical image is displayed small and the sound is small. Information that can specify the operation mode corresponding to the second display result is reported (for example, see FIG. 27A-2).

  According to such a configuration, when derivation of the first display result is permitted, the first display result is derived when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the first display result. When the derivation of the second display result is permitted and the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the second display result, the second display result having a different advantage from the first display result is derived. As described above, when the operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the display result permitted to be derived, the display result having different advantages is derived according to the display result permitted to be derived. The player's interest can be gathered with respect to the type of the display result derived when the operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the display result. Further, when the derivation of the first display result is allowed, information that can specify the operation mode corresponding to the first display result is notified in the first notification mode, whereas the derivation of the second display result is performed. Is permitted, information that can specify the operation mode corresponding to the second display result is notified in the second notification mode. In this way, since information that can specify the operation mode is notified in different notification modes depending on the type of display result that is allowed to be derived, the player's interest in the notification mode can be gathered, and the game Interest is improved.

(2) Provided with a variable display section (for example, reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each of which can be identified,
In the slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a winning result can be generated according to the display result after the variable display portion is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display portion.
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player to derive the display result;
Prior determination means (for example, internal lottery processing by the main control unit 41) for determining a display result that allows derivation from among a plurality of types of display results before the display results are derived;
Derivation control means (for example, reel rotation processing by the main control unit 41) for performing control for deriving a display result in accordance with the determination result of the prior determination means and the operation of the derivation operation means;
Informing means (for example, processing for executing a navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91) for informing information capable of specifying the operation mode of the derivation operation means,
The derivation control means includes
In the case where the pre-determining means permits the derivation of the first display result (for example, the middle bell symbol combination) (for example, winning of the first push order bell such as the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4). The derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the first display result (for example, middle first stop when middle bells 1 to 4 are won, right first stop when right bells 1 to 4 are won). Control for deriving the first display result at the time, and an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the first display result (e.g., left and right first stop, right bell when middle bells 1 to 4 are won) Display results other than the first display result when the derivation operation means is operated at the first stop (left / middle first stop when winning 1 to 4) (for example, upper bell, transitional outcome, off-going symbol combination) ) To control If, see FIG. 17),
When the predetermination means permits the derivation of a second display result (for example, a symbol combination of a downward-sloping bell) having a different advantage (for example, the number of payouts) from the first display result (for example, a medium bell 8, in the second push order bell winning such as right bell 5-8, the operation mode corresponding to the second display result (for example, when middle bell 5-8 is won, middle first stop, right bell 5-5 When the derivation operation means is operated in the first stop on the right when 8 is won, control is performed to derive the second display result, and an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the second display result (for example, When the middle bell 5-8 is elected, the left / right first stop, and when the right bell 5-8 is elected, the left / center first stop), when the derivation operation means is operated, other than the second display result Display results (for example, upper bell Migration outcome, performs control to derive the symbol combination) of out-outcome (e.g., see FIG. 17),
The notification means uses information that can specify the operation mode of the derivation operation unit as a first notification mode (for example, as shown in FIG. Output mode) and a second notification mode (for example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), a numerical image is displayed small and a sound is output at a low volume). Notify in any of the notification modes,
The probability that the notification means notifies in the first notification mode and the probability of notification in the second notification mode indicate when the prior determination means allows the first display result to be derived, and when the prior determination means This is different from the case where the derivation of the second display result is permitted (for example, refer to the column “About the mode of navigation effect” in the modification).

  According to such a configuration, when derivation of the first display result is permitted, the first display result is derived when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the first display result. When the derivation of the second display result is permitted and the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the second display result, the second display result having a different advantage from the first display result is derived. As described above, when the operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the display result permitted to be derived, the display result having different advantages is derived according to the display result permitted to be derived. The player's interest can be gathered with respect to the type of the display result derived when the operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the display result. Further, the probability of notification in the first notification mode and the probability of notification in the second notification mode differ between when the derivation of the first display result is allowed and when the derivation of the second display result is allowed. In this way, since information that can specify the operation mode is notified in different notification modes depending on the type of display result that is allowed to be derived, the player's interest in the notification mode can be gathered, and the game Interest is improved.

  In the above (1) and (2), the “first display result” and the “second display result” include any of the symbol combination of the small role, the symbol combination of the re-playing role, and the symbol combination of the special role. Furthermore, the relationship between the “first display result” and the “second display result” is the relationship between the small combination symbol combination and the small combination symbol combination, and the small combination symbol combination and the recombination symbol combination. , The relationship between the recombination symbol combination and the small role symbol combination, the relationship between the recombination symbol combination and the recombination symbol combination, the relationship between the small role symbol combination and the special role symbol combination, special Includes the relationship between the symbol combination of the role and the symbol combination of the small role, the relationship between the symbol combination of the special role and the symbol combination of the re-playing role, and the relationship between the symbol combination of the re-playing role and the symbol combination of the special role .

  In the above (1) and (2), the “display result other than the second display result” includes both a display result in which a winning occurs and a display result in which a winning does not occur (missing appearance).

  In the above (1) and (2), the “advantage” refers to the advantage provided by the main control unit such as the advantage related to the payout of medals, the advantage provided by the sub-control unit such as the advantage related to the navigation effect, and the server device. Any of the advantages brought about by devices other than gaming machines, such as the advantages related to the granting of the privilege by, is included.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
The first notification mode is a mode in which information capable of specifying the operation mode of the derivation operation unit is emphasized and reported as compared to the second notification mode (the navigation effect shown in FIG. This is a mode in which a numerical image is displayed larger than the navigation effect shown in FIG.

  According to such a configuration, when the derivation of the first display result is allowed, the information that can specify the operation mode is emphasized and notified as compared with the case where the derivation of the second display result is allowed. Therefore, the player's interest can be gathered and the interest of the game is improved.

(4) In the slot machines of (1) to (3) above,
The derivation control means includes
In a case where the predetermination means permits derivation of the first display result, the first display result is obtained when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the first display result. And a control for deriving a specific display result (for example, the symbol combination of the upper bell which is a secondary role) among the display results other than the second display result,
When the predetermination means permits the derivation of the second display result, the specific display result (when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the second display result ( For example, the control to derive the symbol combination of the upper bell that is the secondary role)
The specific display result is a display result that is less advantageous than the first display result and the second display result (for example, the upper bell has a smaller number of medals paid out than the middle bell or the lower right bell).

  According to such a configuration, since the specific display result is a display result having a lower advantage than the first display result and the second display result, the derivation of the first display result is allowed or the second display result When the derivation is allowed, the player can be motivated to operate the derivation operation means in the operation mode corresponding to the display result permitted to be derived.

(5) In the slot machines of (1) to (4) above,
And further includes a granting unit (for example, a process of paying out medals by the main control unit 41) for granting a game value based on the generated winnings,
The giving means is
When a winning according to the first display result occurs, a gaming value having a higher value than that when a winning according to the second display result occurs (for example, 8 cards at the time of winning the middle bell) Paying out 3 medals when winning the right-down bell)
When a winning according to the second display result occurs, a gaming value that can set the number of bets from which one game can be started is given (for example, the number for setting the number of bets when winning a right-down bell) Pay out the same three medals).

  According to such a configuration, the first display result is highly advantageous in that a gaming value having a higher value than the second display result is given, so that when the first display result is derived, the player Can please. On the other hand, even when the second display result is derived, the player is not spoiled by being given a game value capable of setting the number of bets at which one game can be started. Furthermore, if the second display result is used instead of using the re-game display result in which the number of bets at which the next game can be started without using the game value is used, the payout rate can be suppressed, and the payout rate can be reduced. The degree of freedom in design can be improved.

(6) In the slot machines of (1) to (5) above,
Rendering means (for example, the liquid crystal display 51) for executing a predetermined rendering (for example, rendering when operated in a corresponding operation procedure);
And further includes production control means (for example, sub-control unit 91) for controlling the production means,
The production control means includes
In the case where the predetermination means permits the derivation of the first display result, when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the first display result, the rendering means is controlled by the first control (for example, 27 (a-1) and (b-1), a star-shaped notification image and a character image of “Nice!” Are displayed (for example, FIG. 27 (a-1), (Refer to (b-1)).
When the predetermination means permits derivation of the second display result, when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the second display result, the rendering means is controlled by the second control ( For example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a-2) and (b-2), a star-shaped notification image and a character image “Nice !!” are controlled not to be displayed) (for example, FIG. 27 (a-2) (See (b-2)).

  According to such a configuration, when the derivation of the first display result is allowed, the rendering means is first controlled when operated in the operation mode corresponding to the first display result. In the case where the derivation of the second display result is permitted, the rendering means is second controlled when operated in the operation mode corresponding to the second display result. In this way, the control of the rendering means differs depending on the type of display result permitted to be derived when operated in the operation mode corresponding to the display result permitted to be derived. Can attract the attention of the players and improve the interest of the game.

(7) In the slot machines of (1) to (5) above,
Rendering means (for example, the liquid crystal display 51) for executing a predetermined rendering (for example, rendering when operated in a corresponding operation procedure);
And further includes production control means (for example, sub-control unit 91) for controlling the production means,
The effect control means controls the effect means by a first control (for example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a-1) and (b-1), a star-shaped notification image and a character “Nice !!”). Control mode for displaying an image) and second control (for example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a-2) and (b-2), control for not displaying a star-shaped notification image and a character image of “Nice !!”) In any one of a plurality of types of control including:
The probability that the production control means executes the first control and the probability that the second control is executed correspond to the first display result and the predetermination means allows the derivation of the first display result. When the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode, and when the predetermination means allows the derivation of the second display result and the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode corresponding to the second display result (For example, refer to the column “Regarding the control mode of effects during operation in the corresponding operation procedure” in the modification).

  According to such a configuration, the probability that the presentation control means executes the first control and the probability that the second control is executed are the operation modes that allow the derivation of the first display result and that correspond to the first display result. It differs between when the derivation operation means is operated and when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode in which derivation of the second display result is permitted and corresponding to the second display result. In this way, the control of the rendering means differs depending on the type of display result permitted to be derived when operated in the operation mode corresponding to the display result permitted to be derived. Can attract the attention of the players and improve the interest of the game.

(8) In the slot machines of (1) to (7) above,
A plurality of the variable display portions are provided, and a winning can be generated according to a combination of display results of the plurality of variable display portions,
The derivation control means includes
There are two or more underived variable display portions for which display results have not yet been derived, and the underived variable display portion includes a predetermined variable display portion (for example, the middle reel 2C), and is determined in advance. When the means permits the derivation of the first display result (for example, winning of the middle bells 1 to 4), the derivation operation means corresponding to the predetermined variable display part among the non-derivative variable display parts is the other non-derivative operation means. Control is performed to derive the first display result when the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure (for example, the middle first stop) operated before the derivation operation means corresponding to the derivation variable display section. On the other hand, of the display results other than the first display result and the second display result when the derivation operation means is operated in a specific operation procedure other than the predetermined operation procedure (for example, left / right first stop). Specific display results (for example, , Symbol combination of the upper level is a secondary role, performs control to derive the missed outcome),
In the specific situation and when the predetermination means permits the derivation of the second display result (for example, winning of the middle bells 5 to 8), the derivation operation means operates in the predetermined operation procedure. Control for deriving the second display result when it is performed, while the specific display result (for example, symbol combination of the upper bell, which is a secondary role, missing) when the deriving operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure. Control to derive the outcome).

  According to such a configuration, the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure regardless of whether the derivation of the first display result is permitted or the derivation of the second display result is permitted. The specific display result is derived when the specific operation procedure is performed. For this reason, from the specific display result, the player cannot determine whether the derivation of the first display result is permitted or the derivation of the second display result is permitted. Thereby, in particular, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling disappointed when the display result having the higher advantage of the first display result and the second display result is not derived. Can be prevented.

  The “specific operation procedure” may include all operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure, or may include any one of all operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure.

(9) In the slot machines of (1) to (8) above,
When a predetermined display result (for example, a display result for generating a small prize winning such as a middle bell or an upper bell) is derived, a predetermined effect (for example, (a-1) and (b-1) in FIG. 29 is shown). A predetermined effect executing means (for example, the process of S530 of FIG. 28 by the sub-control unit 91) for executing the effect of lighting the reel LED;
A privilege granting means (for example, a process of paying out medals in response to occurrence of a small role winning by the main control unit 41) capable of granting a privilege (for example, a medal) when the predetermined display result is derived; ,
Non-recommended different from recommended operation modes recommended for players (for example, forward pressing during non-AT, corresponding operation procedure informed during AT and navigation, forward pressing during AT and non-navigation) Disadvantageous control that is disadvantageous for the player when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode (for example, irregular pressing, non-corresponding operation procedure) than when the derivation operation means is operated in the recommended operation mode ( For example, disadvantageous control means (for example, the processing of S580 of FIG. 28 by the sub-control unit 91) capable of performing a penalty period control),
As a result of operating the derivation operation means in the non-recommended operation mode, when the predetermined display result is derived, the production regulation means for regulating the execution of the predetermined production (for example, (a-2) in FIG. 29, As shown in (b-2), the winning notification process is not executed even if a prize is won.

  According to such a configuration, even if a predetermined display result is derived as a result of being operated in a non-recommended operation mode, execution of a predetermined effect is restricted, so that the operation is performed in a recommended operation mode. It is possible to prevent the player from impressing that the predetermined display result is derived. Therefore, the player can be guided to operate in the recommended operation mode.

The electric parts are driven based on the control of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40.

  The game control board 40 is equipped with a main control unit 41 for controlling the game. The main control unit 41 includes a microcomputer having a main CPU 41a, a ROM 41b, a RAM 41c, and an I / O port 41d. The game control board 40 includes a random number circuit 42 that generates a random number within a predetermined range (0 to 65535 in the present embodiment), a pulse oscillator 43 that supplies a clock signal having a constant frequency to the random number circuit 42, and the game control board 40. A switch detection circuit 44 that detects detection signals input from switches connected directly or via the power supply board 101, a motor drive circuit 45 that controls the drive of the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R, and a flow path switching A solenoid drive circuit 46 that controls the drive of the solenoid 30; an LED drive circuit 47 that controls various displays and LEDs connected to the game control board 40; and a power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1; When detecting a voltage drop, a power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 41, and a power supply A reset circuit 49 to provide a reset signal to the main CPU41a when initialization command from Nyutoki or main CPU41a is not inputted, and the other various devices and circuits are mounted.

  The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, and executes a program stored in the ROM 41b to perform processing related to the progress of the game, and the game control board 40 Each part of the control circuit mounted on the is directly or indirectly controlled. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the main CPU 41a executes a program. The I / O port 41d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 is supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 41c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 is changed as a basic process, and step by step according to the change of the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process to move to. The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function, can interrupt the basic process when an interrupt occurs, and can execute the interrupt process. The main CPU 41a responds to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 48. The power interruption process (main) is executed, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals. Note that 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 repetition of the process depending on the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that repeats depending on the control state between this time and the next timer interrupt process (main) is completed at least once.

  In the power interruption process, execution of other interrupt processes is prohibited as the process starts. Then, a process of saving all registers that may be in use to the RAM 41c is performed. As a result, it is possible to return to the original processing when the power interruption is restored. Next, after all output ports are initialized, a RAM parity is calculated based on all data stored in the RAM 41c, set in a predetermined parity storage area, and RAM access is prohibited. Then, a loop process in which no process is performed is entered. That is, when the voltage decreases as it is, the operation is stopped internally. Therefore, the main control unit 41 reliably stops operation when power is interrupted. Thus, in the power interruption process, the RAM parity at that time is calculated and stored in the parity storage area, and compared with the RAM parity calculated at the next start-up, whether or not the data stored in the RAM 41c is normal. Can be confirmed.

  The reset circuit 49 outputs a reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the voltage rises to a level at which the main control unit 41 can be activated when the power is turned on, and activates the main control unit 41. When the reset circuit 49 counts up without clearing the value of the reset counter based on a signal periodically output from the main control unit 41, that is, when the main control unit 41 does not operate for a certain time, This circuit outputs a reset signal to the control unit 41 and restarts the main control unit 41.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. Here, from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90, for example, by using a unidirectional circuit such as a diode or a transistor, only in one direction (direction from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90). The signal is configured not to pass. Therefore, the command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is transmitted only in one direction, and the command is not transmitted from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. Command transmission from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is performed by serial communication. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not limited to being directly connected, and may be configured to be connected via a relay board, for example.

  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. 2), effect effect LEDs 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LEDs 55 arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. The effect device is driven based on the control by the sub control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 is configured to perform output control of effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. 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 produces an effect based on a command from the main control unit 41. It is good also as a structure which determines the output pattern of an apparatus and an output control part performs output control of an effect device based on the output pattern which the sub control part 91 determined. In such a structure, the sub control part 91 and the output control part The output control of the rendering device is performed by both.

  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. However, the effect device is not limited to this, and the display device or machine that is mechanically driven. An actuating item that is driven automatically may be applied as the effect device.

  The effect control board 90 performs drive control of the sub-control unit 91 that controls the effect, the display control circuit 92 that controls the display of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the effect control board 90, the effect LED 52, and the reel LED 55. An LED output circuit 93, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a 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 switch detection circuit 96 that detects a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, a clock device 97 that outputs time information including date information and time information, and a power source supplied to the slot machine 1 When the voltage is monitored and a voltage drop is detected, a voltage drop signal indicating that is sent to the sub CPU 91. Such as power interruption detection circuit 98 for outputting is mounted against. The sub control unit 91 is configured by a microcomputer including a sub CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, a RAM 91c, and an I / O port 91d.

  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. The sub-control unit 91 executes a timer interrupt process (sub) by generating an interrupt every time the number of input system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval.

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

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

[Setting value]
In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the medal payout rate (the ratio between the total number of medals used for setting the bet number and the total number of medals paid out by winning) changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate changes by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery or the like. 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, from the point of view of the payout rate, when the set value is set to 6, the player has the highest advantage, and the advantage decreases step by step as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Become.

  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 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, 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. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  It should be noted that the setting change state may be entered on condition that “power ON” + “setting key ON” + “front door opening detection”. Thereby, the unauthorized setting change in the state where the front door 1b is not opened can be prevented. In addition, once the state is changed to the setting change state, the setting change state is maintained regardless of the open / closed state of the front door 1b until the end condition for ending the setting change state (the setting key is turned OFF after the set value is determined) is satisfied. You may make it do. Thereby, even if the front door 1b is closed during the setting change state, the setting change state is not terminated, and thus it is possible to prevent the trouble of shifting to the setting change state again.

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the number of bets is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c 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 where the game can proceed is returned.

  It should be noted that the setting confirmation state may be shifted on condition that “setting key ON” + “front door opening detection”. Thereby, the unauthorized setting check in the state where the front door 1b is not opened can be prevented. In addition, once the setting confirmation state is entered, the setting confirmation state is maintained regardless of whether the front door 1b is opened or closed until an end condition (setting key is turned OFF) for ending the setting confirmation state is satisfied. Also good. As a result, even if the front door 1b is closed during the setting confirmation state, the setting confirmation state is not terminated, so that it is possible to prevent the trouble of shifting to the setting confirmation state again.

[Power interruption]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed. Power failure determination processing is performed, and when it is determined that a voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination processing, power interruption processing for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of the next recovery (main) Execute.

  The main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of activation. If the RAM data is not normal, 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, thereby disabling the game.

  The sub-control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interrupt process (sub), and if it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, the sub-control unit 91 returns next time. Sometimes power interruption processing (sub) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 91c is normal is executed.

  The sub-control unit 91 restores the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the data of the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation. If the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the performance is not disabled.

  Even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub-control unit 91 receives a setting command indicating that the setting change state has been entered from the main control unit 41, and after a certain period of time has elapsed since activation. The RAM 91c is also initialized when neither a return command nor a setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned has been received even after elapse. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sets the setting key switch 37 on and the reset / setting switch 38 when the RAM abnormality error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, when the initialization condition consisting of five at the end of one game is satisfied, Five types of initialization in different areas to be initialized are performed according to each initialization condition.

  Initialization 0 is initialization that is performed at the time of startup when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are on when a RAM error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas of the RAM 41c are initialized. The Initialization 1 is an initialization performed before the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the reset / setting switch 38 is turned off at the time of start-up, and is shifted to the setting change state. In the initialization 1, the RAM 41c is used. Of the storage area, areas other than the important work and special work are initialized. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized. Initialization 3 is initialization that is performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In initialization 3, non-saved work, unused areas, and 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 are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the transition to the setting change state. However, initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. May be.

[Internal lottery]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the winning line that is activated (in this embodiment, all the winning lines are always activated, In the following, a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged on the activated winning line (simply called the winning line). The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The types of winning combinations can be broadly divided into small roles that involve paying out medals and re-players that have a bet number that allows the player to play the next game without using medals. is there. A small role and a replay role are collectively referred to as a general role.

  In this embodiment, there is no special role accompanying the transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player, and only the small role and the re-playing role are subject to internal lottery and winning. It is good also as a structure which a special part becomes a target of internal lottery and winning a prize. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the gaming state, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination in the RAM 41c.

  The winning flags for the small role and the replaying role are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. In the case of a configuration having a special combination, the special combination winning flag is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in a game having the combination of permitted combinations. That is, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game.

  In the internal lottery, whether or not a winning for each winning combination is permitted is determined before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). It is. 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. For each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT type), the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state (RT type), the number of bets and the set value An internal lottery is performed according to the number of determination values of the combination.

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

  When the winning of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c.

[Reel stop control]
The 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 41b when the reel starts rotating 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.

  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 335) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round by driving the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R in 336 steps. 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel are defined, and these areas have area numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. 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. The region 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 frames for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table.

  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, 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 until the stop is calculated is calculated, and the reel is rotated by the calculated number of steps and stopped. . Thus, the region corresponding to the region number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the region corresponding to the region number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the fluoroscopic window 3 Stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of the present embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and 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). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type) and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to these is also unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). For this reason, the same stop control table, that is, the same control when all of the gaming state (RT type), the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are the same. Reel stop control is performed based on the pattern.

  In the present 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 a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting a stop operation. That is, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of up to 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. Since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling up to four symbols after detecting the stop operation, and the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. A symbol stop position can be specified from a range of a maximum of 5 symbols.

  In the present 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 winning combination is drawn not to be aligned on the winning line. Create a stop control table with the number of sliding symbols and perform reel stop control. On the other hand, if you do not win any of the roles, stop control with the number of sliding symbols that does not match any of the roles Create a table and perform reel stop control. 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. Control is performed to stop the non-combining roles without aligning them in the drawing range of up to 4 frames.

  When a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a small role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, control to align the small role on the winning line rather than the special role It is possible to win a special role only when priority is given and a small role 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 on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  If a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority will be given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and the small role will be placed on the winning line only if the special role cannot be drawn. You may perform control to align.

  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, the control for stopping the game by aligning the symbols of the re-gamer within a maximum of 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 drawing range of the top, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Make sure to win again with all the re-games. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control which arranges a re-game player on a winning line rather than a special game, and a re-game player always wins. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing role can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing role is drawn, and the special role is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing role.

  After the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is started, the main control unit 41 continues the rotation of the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected. On the condition that the operation of the 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 on 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 the present embodiment, 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 stop operation is not performed when the automatic stop time has elapsed, it may be assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control for automatically stopping each reel may be performed. In this case, since the reel stops 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.

  The main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the time when the reel starts rotating, that is, the time elapsed since the reel starts rotating, every time the game starts. After the completion of the game, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is performed in a state where the game start operation is valid, the time is counted from the start of the reel rotation of the previous game. If the started game time is equal to or longer than a predetermined regulation time (4.1 seconds in the present embodiment), that is, if a predetermined regulation time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, Start reel rotation in the game.

  On the other hand, when a predetermined number of bets is set by inserting medals after the end of one game, and the game start operation is performed with the game start operation enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the predetermined regulation time, that is, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time, It waits until the game time that has started timing from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches a predetermined regulation time, and when the predetermined regulation time is reached, rotation of the reel in the game is started.

  That is, the main control unit 41 regulates the progress of the game until the predetermined regulation time elapses when the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of the reel rotation in the previous game. The progress of the game is regulated so that the time is not less than a predetermined regulation time.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a combination corresponding to winning is arranged on the activated winning line when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped due to the stop operation. If it is determined and it is determined that a combination corresponding to any of the winnings is prepared, control at the time of winning is performed. For example, when the small combinations are arranged, a control for giving medals according to the arranged small combinations is performed, and when the re-playing combination is arranged, a control for giving a replay game is performed.

[command]
A command that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

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

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the content of the command. The sub-control unit 91 determines the type of command based on the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets. The BET command is a state from the end of the game (after the setting change) to the start of the game. In a state where the specified number of bets is not set, a bet is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to bet the number of bets. Sent when is set. Since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, the sub-control unit 91 can 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. The credit command is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game, and is transmitted when a medal is inserted and credits are added in a state where a prescribed number of bets is set.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result. The internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game is started. The sub-control unit 91 can specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation. The reel rotation start command 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. It is. The reel stop command is transmitted each time stop control associated with a stop operation of each reel is performed. The sub control unit 91 can 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, the presence / absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out when winning. The winning determination command is transmitted after all reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying medal payout start. The payout start command is transmitted when a payout of medals by winning or winning a credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets) is started. The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of medal payout. The payout end command 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. The game state command is transmitted at the end of the game.

  The standby command is a command indicating that a transition to the standby state is made. When the standby command is set to the standby state after a certain period of time without setting the number of bets after one game, the payout of medals by the settlement of credits (including medals used for setting the number of bets) is completed. And sent after the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating occurrence or release of a stop state. A stop command indicating the occurrence of a stop state is transmitted when controlled to the stop state, and a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted when a reset operation is performed and the stop state is released. Is done.

  The error command is a command indicating occurrence or cancellation of an error state and the type of error state. When an error is determined and the error state is controlled, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error state is sent, and when the reset operation is canceled and the error state is released, the error command indicating the release of the error state Is sent.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before power interruption. The return command is transmitted when the main control unit 41 is started up and returned to the control state before 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 at the end of the setting change state, a setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. The sub control unit 91 confirms that the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized by the setting command indicating the setting start because the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized in accordance with the transition to the setting change state. It can be specified.

  The setting confirmation command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting confirmation state. When transitioning to the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation command indicating the start of setting confirmation is transmitted, and when the setting confirmation state ends, a setting confirmation command indicating the end of setting confirmation is transmitted.

  The door command is a command indicating a detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state). When the door command is turned on, the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off) at the end of one game (at the time after the game ends and before the setting of the bet amount of the next game can be started). , 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 switches 8L, 8C, 8R), whether the detection state has changed from off to on. This is a command indicating whether the state has changed from "off" to "off" and the detection state (on / off) of another switch. The operation detection command is transmitted when the detection state of any of these operation switches changes.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main).

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) thereafter. The

  The operation detection command is generated 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). Are stored in the operation detection command storage area. When the operation detection command transmission request is set, the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command storage area is instructed to be transmitted. In the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) executed thereafter, the command buffer is stored. It is stored and transferred to the sub-control unit 91 by being transferred to the serial communication circuit.

[Control by sub-control unit 91 at the time of command reception]
An effect control performed by the sub-control unit 91 based on the command 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, and 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. Based on the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b based on the command received in the stage, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, etc. 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.

  When a new command is received 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 responds to the newly received command. An effect based on the control pattern is executed. In other words, even when the effect has not been completed to the end, when a new command is received, the effect that has been executed is canceled and the effect based on the new command is executed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command, the sub control unit 91 stores the effect pattern in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. With reference to the registered selection rate, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

[Winners]
In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when a symbol pattern is aligned on any winning line. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the state of the game, but can be broadly divided into special roles with transition to big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with payout of medals, and setting of bet number. There is a re-player who can start the next game without needing.

  The big bonus is called BB, and the regular bonus is also called RB. Big bonuses and regular bonuses are also simply called bonuses. In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary that a winning flag is set in the RAM to win the internal lottery and allow the winning of the winning combination.

  FIG. 5 to FIG. 8 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41 and the transition of RT.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, it is controlled to any one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1 and 2 and the bonus (RB, BB), and the normal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the normal gaming state as normal). Is controlled to any one of RT0 to RT4.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the special combination among the winning combinations will be described. The special combination includes six types of bonuses BB1 to RB4 and RB1 and RB2. Each special combination is awarded when the corresponding symbol combination is complete.

  For example, BB1 is awarded when a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is aligned on the winning line, and a game is played with a big bonus that is controlled every game for a regular bonus during BB (hereinafter also referred to as RB during BB). The state transitions. The big bonus generated due to the winning of any one of BB1 to BB4 is terminated on condition that 316 or more medals have been paid out.

  For example, RB1 is won when a combination of “net 7-net 7-black 7” is aligned on the pay line, and the gaming state shifts to a regular bonus (hereinafter also referred to as RB). The regular bonus generated due to the winning of either RB1 or RB2 ends on the condition that any winning combination has won six times or six games have been consumed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, until one of BB1, BB3, and RB2 is internally won and won, it is controlled to 1 / RT0, and BB2, BB4, and RB1 are internally won. Until the prize is won, the inside is controlled to 2.RT0. After the big bonus or the regular bonus (collectively referred to as a bonus) is completed, the control is normally RT4. RT4 is also referred to as a preparation state because it is a state before being controlled by RT1.

  Even if one of BB1 to BB4, RB1, or RB2 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop switch 8L, 8C, or 8R is not operated at an appropriate timing to make it possible to win these roles, There will be no winnings.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning roles, there are middle bells, lower right bells, upper bells 1-8, middle watermelons, right lower watermelons, upper watermelons, lower cherries, middle cherries, one role, right-up bells, right-up bevels, Includes a rising rivet. Each small combination is awarded when the corresponding symbol combination is complete, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  For example, the middle bell is awarded when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN, and eight medals are paid out. When the internal bell is won in the internal lottery, in principle, it is possible to win regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  A downward-sloping bell is when any combination of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” is aligned on the winning line LN. A prize will be awarded and 3 medals will be paid out. In principle, when the right-down bell is won in the internal lottery, a prize can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  The upper bell 1 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 2 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Orange-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 3 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 4 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 5 is awarded when the combination of “plum-orange-orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 6 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-Orange-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 7 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-BAR-Orange” is aligned on the winning line LN. The upper bell 8 is awarded when the combination of “Plum-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN. If one of the upper bells 1 to 8 wins, three medals are paid out. Even if one of the upper bells 1 to 8 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R corresponding to the constituent symbols of the selected upper bell are not operated at an appropriate timing, the winner will be selected. I won't win the upper bell.

  The other small combinations are also awarded when the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 6 are complete, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  With reference to FIG. 7, the re-gamer among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the replaying role includes normal replay, lower stage replay, fall replay, promotion replays 1 and 2, special replay, and SP (special) replay. For each re-gamer, a winning combination is made when the corresponding symbol combination is complete, and the number of bets is automatically set without consuming medals, and the next game is started (that is, the replay game (re-game) is started). Granted).

  For example, the normal replay is awarded when a combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay”, “Replay-Replay-Plum”, “Plum-Replay-Replay”, and “Plum-Replay-Plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. A replay game is given. Other re-game players also win when the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 7 are complete, and a replay game is awarded. In addition, when a small role is won, medals exceeding the number of medals used for setting the bet number can be paid out, whereas when a re-playing role is won, a medal is not paid out and a replay game is given. It can be said that the small role that can increase the number of net increase has a higher advantage than the re-game character.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after winning the fall replay in normal / RT0, it is controlled to RT1. After winning a promotion replay (promotion replay 1 or promotion replay 2) in normal / RT1, it is controlled to normal / RT0. Promotional replays are not won in the internal lottery in normal / RT2, normal / RT3, normal / RT4. When the special combination and the promotion replay are won at the same time in the internal lottery in the normal / RT2, normal / RT3, and normal / RT4, it is controlled to the internal 1 / RT0 or the internal 2 / RT0 at that time. For this reason, no promotion replay is won in normal / RT2, normal / RT3, or normal / RT4. As a result, normal / RT2, normal / RT3, and normal / RT4 are not controlled to normal / RT0, but a promotion replay is awarded only when normal / RT1, and only normal / RT1 is controlled to normal / RT0.

  After winning the special replay in normal / RT1 and normal / RT3, the normal / RT2 is controlled. Special replays will not be won independently in the internal lottery in normal / RT1 or normal / RT4. When the special combination and special replay are won at the same time in the internal / RT1 or normal / RT4 internal lottery, the internal control is controlled to 1 / RT0 or 2 / RT0. Therefore, the special replay is not won in normal / RT1 and normal / RT4. As a result, a special replay prize is awarded only when normal / RT0 or normal / RT3 is not controlled from normal / RT1 or normal / RT4 to normal / RT2, and only normal / RT0 or normal / RT3 is changed to normal / RT2. Be controlled. When the special replay is won in the normal / RT2, the normal / RT2 is maintained.

  After winning the SP replay in normal / RT2, it is controlled to normal / RT3. The SP replay is not won independently in the internal lottery in normal / RT0, normal / RT1, normal / RT4. When the special combination and the SP replay are won at the same time in the internal lottery in normal / RT0, normal / RT1, and normal / RT4, it is controlled to internal 1 · RT0 or internal 2 · RT0 at that time. Therefore, the SP replay is not won in the normal / RT0, normal / RT1, and normal / RT4. As a result, the normal / RT0, the normal / RT1, and the normal / RT4 are not controlled to the normal / RT3, and the SP replay is awarded only when the normal / RT2 is selected, and the normal / RT2 is controlled only to the normal / RT3. When the special replay is won in the normal RT3, the normal RT3 is maintained.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the transition outcome will be described. As for the outcomes other than the outcome that generates a prize, a transition outcome and a miss outcome are provided. The transition items are 20 types of combinations including “Replay-Orange-Bell”. A miss is not an outcome in which any winnings are given, a game value is added, a game state is changed, or a control that is advantageous or disadvantageous to the player is performed. Even when a winning combination other than the push order bell wins, if the selected winning combination does not win, a missed event is derived.

  As shown in FIG. 9, normal / RT1 is controlled after the transition points are aligned with the winning line LN in normal / RT0, normal / RT2, normal / RT3, and normal / RT4. Note that when the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN in the normal / RT1, the normal / RT1 is maintained. When RT1 is compared with RT0, RT2, and RT3, RT1 is less advantageous than RT0, RT2, and RT3 in that the medal payout rate is low. Therefore, in RT0, RT2, or RT3, it is disadvantageous for the player that the transition outcome is derived. On the other hand, even if an outlier is derived in RT0, RT2, or RT3, it is not controlled by RT1. For this reason, it is more advantageous for the player when the outlier is derived than when the transition is derived.

[Lottery eligible role]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 10-14, the combination of the lottery object combination read as a lottery object role for each gaming state will be described. In FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG. 14, “+” is written between winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read out in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 10 to 13, the lottery object combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. A circle in the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target indicates that the lottery target role is read out in the gaming state, and an x mark indicates that the lottery target role is in the gaming state. This means that it is not read out, that is, it is not subject to lottery. A numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined setting value (for example, setting 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” in correspondence with 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 “360” is set as the number of determination values is 360/65536.

  10 and 11 show combinations of special combinations that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 12 shows combinations of small roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. FIG. 14 shows combinations of combinations constituting the simultaneous winning combination shown in FIGS. 10 to 13.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the inside 1 (BB1, BB3, RB2 is elected), and the inside 2 (BB2, BB4, RB1 is elected) ), BB (RB), and RB, the target role of the internal lottery differs, and in BB (RB) and RB, the winning probability of the small role is set higher than in the normal gaming state and inside An internal lottery is performed using the lottery table.

  If the game state is inside, the target of the internal lottery does not change depending on whether it is 1 inside or 2 inside, but depending on whether it is 1 inside or 2 inside An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table having different winning probabilities for the re-gamer.

  When the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the re-game combination that is the target of the internal lottery differs depending on whether it is RT0 to RT4, and is targeted depending on whether it is RT0 to RT4 An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table having different re-game players and their winning probabilities.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the internal lottery, a plurality of types of winning combinations are simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination.

  For example, the weak watermelon is an upper watermelon + a 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. A weak cherry is a lower cherry alone, and a strong cherry is a lower cherry plus one piece. In the weak cherry, the “BAR-BAR-BAR” combination is controlled to be derived in the middle stage, whereas in the strong cherry, the “BAR-BAR-BAR” combination is controlled to be derived in the middle stage. The player can recognize that the cherry is strong when the cherry stops at the lower stage of the left reel 2L and the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” is arranged at the middle stage.

  The bell is a middle bell + a downward-sloping bell. The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5 + the upper bell 8. The middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 6 + the upper bell 7. 3 is a middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 + 1 sheet combination, and middle bell 4 is a middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + 1 sheet combination. The middle bell 5 is a lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8. The middle bell 6 is lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7. The middle bell 7 is a right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 + 1 sheets. The middle bell 8 is a right falling bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + 1 sheets. It is a role.

Is assured.

[Reel control when RB bell 1 to 3 are selected]
In the present embodiment, control is performed in which a predetermined small combination is stopped on the winning line in a drawing range of a maximum of four frames according to the type of the selected RB bell and the stop operation order. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining reel control when RB bells 1 to 3 are selected.

  When RB Bell 1 (Rising Right + Rising Right) is elected and operated with the first left stop, control is performed to stop the combination of the right rising bells of the selected small roles in line with the winning line LN. When the operation is performed in the middle first stop or the right first stop, control is performed to stop the right-up ascending combination in alignment with the pay line LN.

  If RB Bell 2 (Rising Right Bell + Rising Right Ribbe + Rising Right Berri) is elected and is operated in the middle first stop, the right-raising bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN. When control is performed to stop and the first left stop is operated, the control to stop the right-up bevel combination in alignment with the winning line LN is performed, and when operated to the first right stop, Control is performed so that the combination of the right rising rivets is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  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 piece winning + right rising bell + right rising bevel + right rising rebebe), and if it is operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of the right rising bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when operated in the first left stop or the middle first stop, the control is performed to stop the right-up bevel combination in alignment with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the constituent 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. For this reason, when RB bells 1 to 4 are won, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, any combination of a right-up bell, a right-up bevel, and a right-up bevel is always aligned with the winning line LN and 10 sheets. Although medals are paid out, the combination of “bell-bell-bell” rises to the right only at a rate of 1/3.

  Although illustration is omitted, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is placed on the winning line LN regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. Control to stop is performed. 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 In the case of winning the combination of “combination + upward right bell + upward right ribebe”, control is performed so that the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is aligned to the right regardless of the order of the stop operation and the timing of the stop operation.

[Reel control when pushing order is selected]
In the present embodiment, control is performed to align and stop predetermined re-game players on the winning line within a drawing range of up to four frames in accordance with the type of push order lip selected and the order of stop operation. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the reel control at the time of pushing order lip winning.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and operated in the order of the left middle right, the control of making the combination of the promotion replay 1 out of the selected replaying players aligned with the winning line LN is stopped. When the 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 operated 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 and stopped. When the control is performed and the operations are performed in an order other than left and right, the normal replay combination is controlled so as to be aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR3 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay) is won and operated in the middle left / right order, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the 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 operated in the middle right-left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 of the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN. When stop control is performed and the operations are performed in an order other than middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the pay line LN.

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

  When replay GR6 (normal replay + promoted replay 2 + lower replay) is won and operated in the order of middle right and left, the combination of promoted replay 2 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the operations are performed in the order other than the right middle left, the normal replay combination is controlled so as to be aligned with the pay line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promoted replay 1, the promoted replay 2, and the normal 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. Therefore, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, or the normal replay always wins according to the order of the stop operation regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch.

  Thus, in each of the replay GR1 to the replay GR6, different operation modes are set as operation modes for causing the promoted replay 1 or the promoted replay 2 to win. For this reason, if one of the replay GR1 to replay GR6 is elected in the normal / RT1 where the replay GR1 to replay GR6 are the targets of the internal lottery, the promotion replay wins with a probability of 1/6, Transition to RT0.

  When the replay GR11 (falling replay + promotion replay 2) is elected and operated in the order of left middle right, the control for aligning and stopping the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the elected replaying players on the winning line LN is controlled. If the 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 pay line LN.

  When replay GR12 (falling replay + promoted replay 2 + normal replay) is won and operated in the order of left and right, control to stop the combination of promoted replay 2 in the winning line LN and stop the combination When the operation is performed in an order other than left and right, 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 operated in the middle left and right order, control is performed to align the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replaying players on the winning line LN and stop. If the operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, a control for stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  When replay GR14 (falling replay + promotion replay 1 + normal replay) is won and operated in the middle right / left order, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected re-playing players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR15 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2) is won and operated in the order of right and left, 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 operations are performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the control of stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  When Replay GR16 (Tumble Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Normal Replay) is won and operated in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN If the control is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promoted replay 1, the promoted replay 2, 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. For this reason, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, or the fall replay always wins according to the order of the stop operation regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch.

  As described above, in each of the replay GR11 to the replay GR16, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win the promotion replay 1 or the promotion replay 2 and avoid the fall replay. For this reason, if one of the replay GR11 to replay GR16 is elected in the normal / RT0 where the replay GR11 to replay GR16 are the targets of the internal lottery, the promotion replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and the normal / RT0 On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and shifts to normal RT1.

  When replay GR21 (falling replay + special replay) is won and operated in the order of left middle right, control is performed to stop the combination of special replays in the winning replay combination in line with the winning line LN. When operated in an order other than the left middle right, control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays aligned with the pay line LN.

  When the replay GR22 (falling replay + special replay + normal replay) is won and operated in the order of left and right, the control for stopping the combination of the special replays among the selected replaying players on the winning line LN is stopped. When the operation is performed in an order other than left and right, control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When the replay GR23 (falling replay + special replay + lower replay) is won and operated in the middle / right / left order, the special replay combination of the selected replay players is controlled to be matched with the winning line LN and stopped. When the operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed in which 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 operated in the middle right / left order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, the control of stopping the combination of the fall replays on the pay line LN is performed.

  When replay GR25 (falling replay + special replay + promotion replay 1) is won and operated in an operation mode in which the right first stop, that is, the right reel 2R is first stopped, the special replay among the selected replay players Is controlled in such a way that the combination is stopped on the winning line LN, and the first left stop, that is, the first reel 2L is stopped first, or the middle first stop, that is, the middle reel 2C is stopped first. Is operated, the control for stopping the combination of falling replays on the winning line LN is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, 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. For this reason, the reel control is performed so that the special replay or the fall replay is always won according to the order of the stop operation regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch.

  Thus, in each of the replay GR21 to the replay GR25, different operation modes are set as operation modes in order to win special replays and avoid falling replays. For this reason, if one of the replay GR21 to the replay GR25 is elected in the normal / RT0 where the replay GR21 to the replay GR25 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and 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 operated in the order of left, middle and right, the control for stopping the combination of the SP replays in the winning line LN among the selected replayers If it is operated in the order of left and right, the control is performed to stop the regular replay combination among the selected replaying players on the winning line LN, and it is operated by pressing the middle or right Is controlled so that the combination of special replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR32 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay + falling replay) is won and operated in the order of left and right, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the controls are performed and the operations are performed in the order of left, middle and right, the control for stopping the combination of the normal replays in the winning replay combination with the winning line LN is performed, and the operation is performed by pressing the middle or right. In such a case, a control for stopping the combination of special replays in line with the winning line LN is performed.

  When replay GR33 (special replay + SP replay + lower stage replay) is won and operated in the middle left or right order, control is performed to align the SP replay combination among the selected replay players and stop them in the winning line LN. In the case of operation in the middle right / left order, control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays among the selected re-playing players is stopped on the winning line LN, and the operation is performed at the first left stop or the first right stop. In the case where a special replay is combined, control is performed such that the special replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR34 (special replay + SP replay + lower replay + falling replay) is won and operated in the middle right / left order, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the game is operated in the middle left and right order, the control is performed to stop the combination of the normal replays among the selected replay players in line with the winning line LN, the first left stop or the first right When operated in a stop state, a control is performed to stop the special replay combination in alignment with the pay line LN.

  When replay GR35 (special replay + SP replay + normal replay + lower replay) is won and operated in the order of right and left middle, the combination of SP replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the operations are performed in the order of right middle, left, and right, the combination of normal replays among the replaying players who have won is controlled to be stopped on the winning line LN, and the left first stop or middle second When operated with one stop, control is performed to stop the special replay combination in alignment with the pay line LN.

  When Replay GR36 (Special Replay + SP Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay + Falling Replay) is won and operated in the order of right, middle and left, the combination of SP replay among the selected replay players will be placed on the winning line LN If control is performed to align and stop, and operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the normal replays among the winning replay players on the winning line LN, and the first left stop Alternatively, when operated in the middle first stop, control is performed to stop the special replay combination in alignment with the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, symbols constituting SP replay, special replay, and normal 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. For this reason, the reel control is performed so that SP replay, special replay, or normal replay always wins according to the order of the stop operation regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switch.

  Thus, in each of the replay GR31 to the replay GR36, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for winning the SP replay, and further, the operation modes for winning the SP replay or the normal replay and avoiding the special replay. Different operation modes are set. For this reason, if one of the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 is won in the normal / RT2 in which the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 are subject to the internal lottery, the SP replay is won with a probability of 1/6 and the normal / RT3 On the other hand, the normal replay or special replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and the normal / RT2 is maintained.

  In addition, when SP Replay wins, 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, there is a probability of 1/6 When the SP replay is won and one or more navigation stocks are given, and the SP replay is easy to win, that is, it is likely that the navigation stock is given. In normal / RT3 where replay GR31 to replay GR36 are subject to internal lottery, if any of replay GR31 to replay GR36 is elected, SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and one or more navigation stocks On the other hand, the normal replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and maintains normal RT3, and the special replay wins with a probability of 4/6 and shifts to normal RT2.

[Reel control when pushing order bell wins]
In the present embodiment, control is performed in which a predetermined small combination is stopped on the winning line in a drawing range of a maximum of four frames in accordance with the type of the push order bell selected and the stop operation order. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the reel control at the time of pushing order bell winning.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and is operated in the middle first stop, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is the winning line LN. When the first left stop or the right first stop is operated, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, the transition start, or the departure Control is performed to stop any combination of eyes aligned with the pay line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) is elected and operated in the middle first stop, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is the winning line LN. When the first left stop or the right first stop is operated, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, the transition start, or the departure Control is performed to stop any combination of eyes aligned with the pay line LN.

  If middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 + 1) is selected and operated in the middle first stop, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is won. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN, and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first right stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, or the outlier Control for stopping any combination in line with the winning line LN is performed. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the middle bell 3 is a control combination for distinguishing from other lottery target combinations, no winning is made.

  If middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + 1) is selected and operated in the middle first stop, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is won. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first right stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the off-road Control for stopping any combination in line with the winning line LN is performed. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the middle bell 4 is a control combination for distinguishing from other lottery-target combinations, no winning is made.

  If middle bell 5 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and is operated in the middle first stop, the combination of the right-down bell among the elected small roles is awarded. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first right stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, the transition start, or Control is performed to stop any combination of outliers in line with the winning line LN.

  If middle bell 6 (lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) is elected and is operated in the middle first stop, the winning combination of right-down bells is won. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first right stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, the transition start, or Control is performed to stop any combination of outliers in line with the winning line LN.

  If middle bell 7 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8 + 1) is selected and operated in the middle first stop, the combination of right-down bells of the selected minor roles Are controlled to stop in line with the winning line LN, and when operated with the first left stop or the first right stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8, or the exit Control is performed to stop any combination of eyes aligned with the pay line LN. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the middle bell 7 is a control combination for distinguishing from other lottery target combinations, no winning is made.

  If middle bell 8 (lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + 1) is selected and operated in the middle first stop, the combination of right-down bells of the selected minor roles Are controlled to stop in line with the winning line LN, and when operated with the first left stop or the first right stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the exit Control is performed to stop any combination of eyes aligned with the pay line LN. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the middle bell 8 is a control combination for distinguishing from other lottery-target combinations, no winning is made.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the constituent symbols of the middle bell and the right-down bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels. For this reason, when the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected and the middle bell is operated at the first stop, the middle bell is always aligned with the winning line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. When 5 to 8 are won and operated in the middle first stop, control is always performed so that the right downward bell is aligned with the winning line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. On the other hand, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 have portions arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more in all reels. For this reason, even if the middle bells 1 to 8 are elected, when operated in the first left stop or the first right stop, the appropriate timing that is the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If not operated, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN. Further, when the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 5 or the middle bell 6 is elected, when the upper bell is not aligned, control is performed so that the transitional outcome or the missed outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. On the other hand, when the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the middle bell 7, or the middle bell 8 is won, if the upper bells are not aligned, control is performed so that the missed points are aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7) is elected and operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is the winning line LN. When the first left stop or middle first stop is operated, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, the transition start, or the departure Control is performed to stop any combination of eyes aligned with the pay line LN.

  If right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8) is selected and operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is the winning line LN. If the control is performed with the first left stop or the middle first stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, the transition start, or the departure Control is performed to stop any combination of eyes aligned with the pay line LN.

  If right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 + 1) is elected and operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of middle bells of the elected minors is won. When the control is performed to stop in line with the line LN and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first middle stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, or the off-road Control for stopping any combination in line with the winning line LN is performed. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the right bell 3 is a control combination for distinguishing from other lottery object combinations, no winning is made.

  If right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1) is selected and operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of the middle bells of the selected small roles is won. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN, and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first middle stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, or the off-road Control for stopping any combination in line with the winning line LN is performed. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the right bell 4 is a control combination for distinguishing from other lottery-target combinations, no winning is made.

  If right bell 5 (lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7) is elected and is operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of the right-down bell among the elected small roles is awarded. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first middle stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, the transition start, or Control is performed to stop any combination of outliers in line with the winning line LN.

  If right bell 6 (down right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8) is elected and is operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of the right down bell among the elected small roles is awarded. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN, and the first left stop or middle first stop is operated, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, the transition start, or Control is performed to stop any combination of outliers in line with the winning line LN.

  If right bell 7 (lower right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 + 1) is selected and operated in the first stop on the right, the combination of right-down bells of the selected small roles Are controlled in line with the pay line LN, and when operated at the first left stop or the first middle stop, the upper bell 1, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 7, or the exit Control is performed to stop any combination of eyes aligned with the pay line LN. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the right bell 7 is a control combination for distinguishing from other lottery-target combinations, no winning is made.

  If right bell 8 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1) is selected and operated by pressing right, the combination of the right-down bell among the selected small roles is won. When control is performed to stop in line with the line LN, and the operation is performed with the first left stop or the first middle stop, the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, the upper bell 8, or the off-road Control for stopping any combination in line with the winning line LN is performed. In addition, since the 1-sheet combination of the right bell 8 is a control combination for distinguishing it from other lottery object combinations, no winning is made.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the constituent symbols of the middle bell and the right-down bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels. For this reason, when the right bells 1 to 4 are elected and are operated in the first right stop, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. When 5 to 8 are won and operated in the middle first stop, control is always performed so that the right downward bell is aligned with the winning line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. On the other hand, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 have portions arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more in all reels. For this reason, even when the right bells 1 to 8 are elected, when operated at the first left stop or the middle first stop, the appropriate timing that is the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If not operated, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN. Further, when the right bell 1, the right bell 2, the right bell 5, or the right bell 6 is elected, when the upper bell is not aligned, control is performed so that the transitional outcome or the outlier is aligned with the winning line LN. On the other hand, when the right bell 3, the right bell 4, the right bell 7, or the right bell 8 is won, if the upper bells are not aligned, control is performed so that the disengagement line is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, when any of the middle bell, the right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, the middle bell is operated when operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. Alternatively, the right-down bell always wins, but when operated in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode corresponding to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 3/4, but the upper bell is aligned at 1/4. There may be transitional or missed outcomes (depending on the winning role).

  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 not possible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known, so a right falling bell or middle bell is awarded at a rate of 1/3. However, in the ratio of 2/3, the upper bell can be won only by 3/4, and the medal cannot be surely obtained.

  Hereinafter, an operation procedure corresponding to each winning combination (internal lottery result) is also referred to as a “corresponding operation procedure”, and an operation procedure different from the corresponding operation procedure is also referred to as a “non-corresponding operation procedure”. The corresponding operation procedure for the middle bells 1 to 8 is the middle first stop, and the corresponding operation procedure for the right bells 1 to 8 is the first right stop. Furthermore, when winning the push order bell, the small part derived when operated in the corresponding operation procedure is called “main role” and can be derived when operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure. A small role is called a “secondary role”. The main characters of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 are “middle bells”, and the main characters of the middle bells 5 to 8 and right bells 5 to 8 are “lower right bells”. The secondary bells of the middle bells 1, 3, 5, 7 are "upper bells 2, 3, 5, 8", and the secondary bells of the middle bells 2, 4, 6, 8 are "upper bells 1, 4, 6, 7". The right bell 1, 3, 5, 7 has a secondary role of "upper bell 1, 3, 5, 7", and the right bell 2, 4, 6, 8 has a secondary role of "upper bell 2, 4, , 6, 8 ". Note that a single combination is a control combination and is not included in the secondary combination because it does not win a prize.

  The appearance of the leading role is referred to as “main role appearance”, and the appearance of the secondary role is also referred to as “second role appearance”. The outcome that is derived when neither the main role or the secondary role is won is also referred to as a “missing outcome”. The middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and the right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 are missed by transition and disengagement. The middle bells 3, 4, 7, 8, right bells 3, 4 , 7 and 8 are missed spots.

  Here, in the game where one of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 is won, the middle bell as the main character wins and eight medals are paid out when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. On the other hand, in a game where one of the middle bells 5 to 8 or the right bells 5 to 8 is won, the right-down bell as the leading role wins and three medals are paid out when operated by the corresponding operation procedure. It is. For this reason, when winning one of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4, it was operated according to the corresponding operation procedure than when winning one of the middle bells 5 to 8 and right bells 5 to 8. Since the number of medals to be paid out sometimes increases, it can be said that the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 have a higher advantage than the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bells 5 to 8.

  Among the push order bells, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 which are highly advantageous are referred to as first push order bells, and the bells which are less advantageous than the first push order bells. 5-8 and right bells 5-8 are also referred to as second push order bells.

  As described above, in the game where the winning order bell is won, when the main role is derived and the main character wins when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, when the non-corresponding operation procedure is operated. The secondary role is derived and the secondary role wins, or the missed event is derived. Further, among the push order bells, the game won in the first push order bell has a higher advantage when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure than the game won in the second push order bell.

[Display results derived when winning the first push order bell or second push order bell]
With reference to FIG. 18, the display result derived at the time of the first push order bell winning or the second push order bell winning will be described. In FIG. 18, the display result at the time of winning the middle bell 1 is shown as an example of the first push order bell, and the display result at the time of winning the middle bell 5 is shown as an example of the second push order bell.

  The corresponding operation procedure for the middle bell 1 is “medium first stop”, which is the same as the corresponding operation procedure for the middle bell 5, and the corresponding operation procedure for both is the same. The secondary role of middle bell 1 is the same “upper bell 2, 3, 5, 8” as the secondary role of middle bell 5, and the secondary roles (secondary role appearance) of both are the same. The missed appearance of the middle bell 1 is the same “transition outcome or missed outcome” as the missed outcome of the middle bell 5, and the missed outcomes of both are the same. On the other hand, the main player of the middle bell 1 is the “middle bell” that pays out eight sheets, while the main player of the middle bell 5 is the “lower right bell” that pays out three pieces, Different.

  In other words, the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 have the same “secondary role appearance”, “spilling out eye”, “corresponding operation procedure”, and “non-corresponding operation procedure”, and “main role appearance” and “main role”. It can be said that “the number of medals paid out when a prize is won” has a different relationship (hereinafter also referred to as “predetermined relationship”). In addition to the middle bell 1 and middle bell 5, "middle bell 2 and middle bell 6", "middle bell 3 and middle bell 7", "middle bell 4 and middle bell 8", "right bell 1 and right bell" 5 ”,“ Right bell 2 and right bell 6 ”,“ Right bell 3 and right bell 7 ”,“ Right bell 4 and right bell 8 ”are also in a predetermined relationship. In the following, “middle bell 1 and middle bell 5” will be described as an example of the lottery object combination having a predetermined relationship, but other lottery object roles having a predetermined relationship (for example, medium bell 2 and medium bell 6). The explanation of the main role, the secondary role, etc. is also the same as the explanation about “middle bell 1 and middle bell 5”.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the game in which the middle bell 1 is won, when the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) is operated, the leading role (middle bell) wins. When the middle bell 1 is elected and is operated at the non-corresponding operation procedure (left / right first stop) and at the timing when the secondary role symbol is retracted, the secondary role (upper bell 2 or upper bell 5) (example in FIG. 18) Then, when the upper bell 2) wins and is operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure and at a timing at which the sub-combination symbol cannot be drawn, a missed spot (not shown) is derived.

  On the other hand, in a game in which the middle bell 5 is won, when the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) is used, a main character (lower right bell) whose medal payout number is different (small) from the main character of the middle bell 1 wins. . When the middle bell 5 is elected, and the middle bell 1 is operated according to the same operation procedure as that for deriving the secondary role when the middle bell 1 is elected, the same secondary role as the secondary role (in the example of FIG. 18, The upper bell 2) is derived. In a game in which the middle bell 5 is won, if the same operation procedure is used as the procedure in which the missed outcome is derived when the middle bell 1 is elected, the same missed exit as the middle bell 1 Eyes (not shown) are derived.

  In the present embodiment, in a game in which middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won, when operated in the corresponding operation procedure (medium first stop), when middle bell 1 is won and middle bell 5 is won. Reel control is executed with reference to different stop control tables.

  Specifically, when the middle bell 1 is won and the operation is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure, the stop control table in which the middle bell always wins is referenced regardless of the operation timing. On the other hand, when the middle bell 5 is selected, when the operation is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure, the stop control table in which the right lowering bell always wins is referenced regardless of the operation timing.

  Even if the game is won for either the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5, when operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure (right first stop or left first stop), the middle bell 1 won and the middle bell 5 won The same stop control table is referenced from time to time, and reel control is executed. Note that the stop control table defines the number of sliding symbols according to the stop operation position. For example, regardless of whether the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, when the cherry of the area number 11 of the left reel 2L is positioned on the winning line LN, the first left stop (non-corresponding operation procedure) ), Both players slide two frames and “replay (sub-composition) symbol” is derived on the winning line LN. In the present embodiment, the same display result is derived when operated in the same non-corresponding operation procedure, regardless of whether the game is won for either the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5. Or the same missed outcome is derived).

  Specifically, regardless of whether the game is won in the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5, when the other reels are stopped for the first time, the secondary role symbol is drawn in, and when the second reel is stopped, the secondary role symbol is also displayed. Pull in. Thereafter, for the third stop, the reel control is performed such that the sub-combination symbol is pulled in as far as possible, and if the sub-combination symbol cannot be pulled in, the missing symbol is pulled in.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the protagonist with a large amount of payout depends on whether the push order bell won when operated in the corresponding operation procedure is the first push order bell or the second push order bell. The player can be interested in the types of display results derived when operated in the corresponding operation procedure, and the interest of the game is improved. Can be made.

  In addition, in the game that won the push order bell, if the main role is not derived and the main role is missed, the secondary role is derived and the player wins the sub role with less medal payout than the main role, Alternatively, the missed outcome is derived and medals are not paid out. For this reason, in the game that has won the push order bell, the player can be motivated to operate according to the corresponding operation procedure.

  Regardless of the game selected as the first push order bell or the second push order bell, when the non-corresponding operation procedure is used (when the main role is missed), the secondary role or missed outcome is derived. The Further, when the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, and the same non-corresponding operation procedure is operated, both the same sub-role or the same missed out are derived. As a result, the player cannot determine whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell by using the derived sub-combination outcome or missed outcome.

  If the player can determine whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell by using the derived secondary role or missed outcome as a clue, If the player recognizes that he has missed the leading role when winning the high first push order bell, the player may be disappointed, and the interest of the game may be reduced. However, in the present embodiment, the player cannot discriminate whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell by using the derived secondary role appearance or missed outcome as a clue. . As a result, even if the main role is missed in a game that has won the first push order bell with a high degree of advantage, it is possible to prevent such a sense of disappointment from being given to the player. A decrease can be prevented.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, during a non-AT, a common normal effect (also referred to as a normal effect) is executed regardless of which push order bell is won. For this reason, the player cannot discriminate whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell, using the normal effect as a clue. Therefore, even in the case of winning the first-push order bell with high advantage, even if the main role is missed, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling sorry, and to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game. be able to.

  Even if the game is won in either the first push order bell or the second push order bell, when operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure, the same stop control table is referred to (that is, the same number of sliding frames). Reel control is performed. Therefore, in a game where either the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, even when the non-corresponding operation procedure is used, the first push order bell and the second push It is impossible for the player to determine which of the sequential bells is won. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a feeling of regret and prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, the corresponding operation procedure for the middle bells 1 to 4 and the corresponding operation procedure for the right bells 1 to 4 in which the middle bell as the leading player wins are different (corresponding operation procedure for the middle bells 1 to 4. Is the middle first stop, while the corresponding operation procedure of the right bells 1 to 4 is the first right stop). If the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 have the same corresponding operation procedure, the player can stop the middle first without any tension to win the main character. It will increase the nature and reduce the interest of the game. However, in the present embodiment, since the corresponding operation procedures are different between the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4, it is possible to make the player feel a tension with respect to the stop operation.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, the corresponding operation procedure for the middle bells 5 to 8 and the corresponding operation procedure for the right bells 5 to 8 won by the leading right falling bell are different (for the middle bells 5 to 8 The corresponding operation procedure is the middle first stop, while the corresponding operation procedure for the right bells 5 to 8 is the first right stop). If the corresponding operation procedure is the same for the middle bells 5-8 and the right bells 5-8, the player can stop the middle first without any tension to win the main character. It will increase the nature and reduce the interest of the game. However, in the present embodiment, since the corresponding operation procedures are different between the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bells 5 to 8, it is possible to make the player feel a tension with respect to the stop operation.

[Reel control processing when pushing order bell wins]
With reference to FIG. 19, the reel control process performed by the main control unit 41 when the pushing order bell is won will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart conceptualizing the contents of the processing for explaining the reel control processing when the pressing order bell is won. In FIG. 19, the symbols of the reels constituting the main role appearance are referred to as “main role symbols”, the symbols of the reels constituting the secondary role appearance are “sub role symbols”, The symbols of the reels are referred to as “missed-out symbols”, the symbols of the reels constituting the outliers are referred to as “outgoing-out symbols”, and the symbols of the respective reels constituting the transition-out items are referred to as “transitioned-out symbols”.

  The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the first stop has been made (S10). When the first stop is made (Y in S10), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the first stop is a corresponding operation procedure (S20). When the first stop is the corresponding operation procedure (Y in S20), the main control unit 41 derives the main character symbol on the winning line LN regardless of the operation timing (S30). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 derives the leading role on the winning line LN regardless of the operation procedure (operation timing, operation sequence) after the second stop (S40), and ends the reel control process. In this case, when the first push order bell is won, the middle bell wins, and when the second push order bell is won, the lower right bell wins.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not operated according to the corresponding operation procedure (N in S20), the main control unit 41 derives the secondary role symbol on the winning line LN (S50). The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the second stop has been performed (S60). When it is determined that the second stop has been performed (Y in S60), the secondary role symbol is derived on the winning line LN (S70). As described above, even when the operation is performed according to an operation procedure different from the corresponding operation procedure at the time of pushing order bell winning, the secondary role symbol is always derived in the first stop and the second stop.

  The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the third stop has been performed (S80). When it is determined that the third stop has been performed (Y in S80), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the third stop has been performed at the sub role symbol drawing timing. Determine (S90).

  The sub-role symbol drawing timing is a timing at which the sub-role symbol can be drawn. For example, the secondary role symbol pull-in timing when the secondary reel secondary role symbol is “orange” is the timing at which “orange” can be pulled. Specifically, since the maximum of 4 symbols can be slid and drawn, the timing for drawing “orange” is when the symbols with the symbol numbers 0 to 11 and 17 to 20 are positioned on the winning line LN. The timing when the middle stop switch 8C is operated. When the middle reel 2C is operated at this timing, “orange” can be drawn. On the other hand, when the symbols whose symbol numbers are 12 to 16 are positioned on the winning line LN, the timing at which the middle stop switch 8C is operated is different from the sub role symbol pull-in timing, Even if the middle stop switch 8C is operated at a different timing, “orange” cannot be drawn.

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the third stop has been performed at the secondary role drawing time (Y in S90), the main control unit 41 derives the secondary role symbol on the winning line LN of the third stopped reel and wins the prize The secondary role is derived on the line LN (S100).

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the third stop has been performed at a timing other than the secondary role symbol pull-in timing (N in S90), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the winning push order bell is a transitional-out derivation possible role (S110).

  The transition-out derivable combination is a push order bell that can be used to derive both the transition and out-of-progress in the event that the main role and the secondary role are missed. In the present embodiment, the transition outcome derivable roles are the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and the right bells 1, 2, 5, 6.

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the winning push order bell is a transitional outcome derivable combination (Y in S110), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the third stop is operated at the transitional outcome derivation timing (S115). ).

  Here, the transition outcome derivation timing is a timing at which the symbols constituting the transition outcome can be drawn.

  When the main control unit 41 is stopped for the third time at the transition output derivation timing (Y in S115), the main control unit 41 derives the transition output on the winning line LN, while being stopped for the third time at a timing other than the transition output derivation timing. If it occurs (N in S115), the outlier is derived on the winning line LN (S130). On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the winning push order bell is not a winning combination for deriving a transitional outcome (a non-transitioning role deriving role) (N in S110), the main control unit 41 moves out on the winning line LN. The eyes are derived (S130).

  As described above, when the winning combination derivable combination (for example, the middle bell 1) is won, if the secondary combination cannot be won, a missed item or a shifting event is derived. On the other hand, when a winning combination cannot be derived (for example, the middle bell 3), if the secondary role cannot be won, the moving out is not derived and the outlier is derived. The

  Note that the process of S115 may not be performed. That is, if it is determined in S110 that the winning combination can be derived, the shifting outcome may be derived on the winning line LN in S120.

[Flow of derivation results when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won]
With reference to FIGS. 20 to 23, the middle bell 1 which is an example of the first push order bell that is a transition output derivable combination, or the second feature of the second push order bell that is a transition output derivable combination. The flow of the derivation result when the winning of the leading role is missed in the game won by middle bell 5 as an example will be described. 20 to 23 show the state after the main role is missed (that is, the processing after S50 in FIG. 19).

  Referring to FIG. 20, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won, when the right first stop, left second stop, and middle third stop, which are different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop), are performed. The flow of derivation results will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 20A, when the first right stop is performed, the secondary role symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 20A) is led out to the winning line LN on the right reel 2R regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 20 (B), when the second stop is performed on the left side, the “replay” that is the secondary role symbol is drawn onto the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (D), when the middle third stop is made at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, orange as the secondary role symbol is drawn into the middle reel 2C, and the secondary role item (upper bell 2) wins the prize. Derived on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the middle third stop is made at a timing other than the sub-combination drawing time, it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is a transition-out derivable hand and the third stop is shifted. It is determined whether or not an operation has been performed at the appearance derivation timing. As shown in FIG. 20 (C), since the winning push order bell is the middle bell 1 and is a role that can be transferred, the transfer item is awarded when the third stop is made at the transfer item derivation timing. When it is derived on the line LN and stopped for the third time at a timing other than the transition outcome derivation timing, the outlier is derived on the winning line LN.

  Referring to FIG. 21, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is elected, the right first stop, middle second stop, and left third stop different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of derivation results will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (A), when the first right stop is performed, the secondary role symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 21 (A)) is led out to the winning line LN in the right reel 2R regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 21 (B), when the second stop is made, “orange”, which is the sub-combination symbol, is drawn onto the winning line LN. When the second role is stopped at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, the upper bell is tempered.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (D), when the left third stop is made at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, the replay as the secondary role symbol is drawn into the left reel 2L, and the secondary role item (upper bell 2) wins the prize. Derived on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the third left stop is made at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing, it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is a transitional outcome derivable role. As shown in FIG. 21 (C), the winning push order bell is the middle bell 1 and is a role that can be derived from the transition outcome. Therefore, when the third stop is made at the transition outcome derivation timing, the transition outcome is When it is derived on the winning line LN and stopped for a third time at a timing other than the transitional outcome deriving timing, the outlier is derived on the winning line LN.

  As described above, when the winning combination is derived, when the leading role is missed, a missed item or a shifting event is derived depending on whether or not the third event is stopped at the shifting event deriving timing.

  Referring to FIG. 22, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is elected, the left first stop, middle second stop, and right third stop different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of derivation results will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (A), when the first stop is made on the left, the secondary role symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 22 (A)) is derived on the winning line LN to the left reel 2L regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 22 (B), when the second stop is made, “orange” which is the sub-combination symbol is drawn onto the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (D), when the third stop on the right is stopped at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, the secondary role symbol BAR is drawn into the right reel 2R and the secondary role item (upper bell 2) wins the prize. Derived on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the third stop on the right is made at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing, it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is a transition outcome derivable role. As shown in FIG. 22 (C), the winning push order bell is the middle bell 1, and since the transition outcome derivation role is possible, when the transition outcome derivation timing is stopped for the third time, the transition outcome is When it is derived on the winning line LN and stopped for a third time at a timing other than the transitional outcome deriving timing, the outlier is derived on the winning line LN.

  Referring to FIG. 23, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is elected, when left first stop, right second stop, middle third stop different from the corresponding operation procedure (middle first stop) The flow of derivation results will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (A), when the first left stop is performed, the secondary role symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 23 (A)) is derived on the winning line LN to the left reel 2L regardless of the operation timing.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (B), when the second stop is made on the right, “BAR” which is the sub-combination symbol is drawn onto the winning line LN. As shown in FIG. 23 (D), when the middle third stop is made at the time of the secondary role symbol drawing, the secondary role symbol orange is drawn into the middle reel 2C and the secondary role appearance (upper bell 2) wins the prize. Derived on line LN.

  On the other hand, when the middle third stop is made at a timing other than the secondary role symbol drawing timing, it is determined whether or not the winning push order bell is the transitional outcome derivable role. As shown in FIG. 23 (C), the winning push order bell is the right bell 1 and, since it is a shiftable derivation combination, when the third stop is made at the transitional outcome derivation timing, the transitional outcome is a prize. When it is derived on the line LN and stopped for the third time at a timing other than the transition outcome derivation timing, the outlier is derived on the winning line LN.

  As described above, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 that is the transitional-order derivable combination among the pushing order bells is won, the main role output is derived by being operated in an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure. Even when it is not possible, if the third stop is made at the secondary role drawing timing, the secondary role can be derived. When the third stop is a timing other than the secondary role symbol pull-in timing, and is operated at the transition score derivation timing, the transition score is derived, and the third stop is a timing other than the secondary role symbol pull-in timing, When operated at a timing other than the transition outcome derivation timing, an outlier is derived. Therefore, even if the main role is missed, and even if the secondary role is missed, the transition outcome is not necessarily derived, and there are times when the transition outcome is derived and sometimes the outlier is derived. , You can improve the fun of the game.

  20 to 23, even when the middle bell 1 is won or when the middle bell 5 is won, when the same non-corresponding operation procedure is used, the same sub-role, transition, or miss Since the outcome is derived, the player does not determine which of the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 is won.

[Flow of derivation results when winning the middle bell 3 or the middle bell 7]
The middle bell 3 which is an example in which the transition item cannot be derived and is an example of the first pushing order bell, or the middle bell 7 which is an example in which the transition item cannot be derived and is an example of the second pushing order bell. The flow of the derivation result when the winning of the leading role is missed in the game will be described (illustration is omitted). The middle bell 3 and the middle bell 7 have a predetermined relationship.

  When a winning combination that cannot be derived is transferred, if the leading role and the secondary role are missed, the transition item is not derived and the outlier is derived on the winning line LN. For example, unlike the example of (C) in FIGS. 20 to 23, the shift out is derived without deriving the shift out. That is, when the middle bell 3 or the middle bell 7 is won, a missed eye is derived.

  As described above, when the middle bell 3 or the middle bell 7 that cannot be transferred out is elected, even if the main role is missed, if the third stop is made at the secondary role drawing timing, Can be derived. Furthermore, if the timing of the third stop is a timing other than the sub-composition symbol pull-in timing, the shift out is not derived but the out-going is derived on the winning line LN.

  In FIGS. 20 to 23, the flow of the derivation result of “when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won” or “when middle bell 3 or middle bell 7 is won” has been described. The reel control similar to that when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won is performed when the winning combination is won, and the middle bell 3 or the middle bell 7 is also selected when another transitional winning feature is won. The reel control is the same as when winning.

  As described above, when a push order bell is won, when a corresponding operation procedure corresponding to the winning combination is operated, a leading role such as a middle bell from which eight medals are paid out or a right-down bell from which three medals are paid out is displayed. In contrast to winning, when an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure is used, a secondary role such as an upper bell from which one medal is paid out wins, or a missed spot where no medal is paid out is derived. Thereby, the player's willingness to operate according to the corresponding operation procedure can be stimulated, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When the first push order bell is won, the middle bell that pays out 8 medals as the main character wins when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, whereas when the second push order bell is won, When operated according to the operating procedure, the right-down bell that pays out three medals smaller than the middle bell wins the main role. In this way, when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, depending on whether the selected push order bell is the first push order bell or the second push order bell, the protagonists with different advantages will win, It is possible to gather the player's interest about the type of main character who won the prize when operated by the corresponding operation procedure.

  In addition, the middle bell, which is the leading role when winning the first push order bell, is more advantageous in that it has a higher number of payouts than the lower right bell, which is the leading role when winning the second push order bell. The player can be pleased when the middle bell wins a game in which the one-push order bell is won. On the other hand, even when the right-down bell is won in the game that wins the second push order bell, three medals that are the same as the number of medals that can be set for one game can be awarded. There is no loss.

  In the game where the lower right bell won, the number of bets was set using 3 medals, but 3 medals were paid out, so the net increase per game won by the player does not change. . However, in order to win a downward-sloping bell, it is necessary to operate according to the corresponding operation procedure in the game won for the second push order bell, and it may be missed. That is, in a game won by the second push order bell, a right-down bell is won when the corresponding operation procedure is operated, and the net increase is not changed, whereas a right-down bell is operated when the non-operation procedure is operated. Net increase will decrease without winning. Therefore, by controlling with a navigation effect whether or not to operate in the corresponding operation procedure in the game won in the second pushing order bell, the net increase per game is not changed in the same manner as the re-gamer winning. Or you can try to reduce it. Therefore, if the second pushing order bell is used instead of the re-gamer, the payout rate for a specific period in the entire game is not limited to 0, and the payout rate for the specific period is reduced to 0 or less. You can also As a result, the payout rate of the entire game can be suppressed, and the degree of design freedom regarding the payout rate can be improved.

  When the winning push-bell is a transitional role derivable role, even if the secondary role is not won (even if the secondary role is missed), the transitional outcome is not always derived, There are a time when a transition outcome is derived and a time when a departure outcome with a different advantage is derived when the transition outcome is derived. For example, even if the player can lose the main role and the sub-combination when the transition-out derivationable combination is elected when controlled by RT0, 2, 3 and so on, the transition-out (RT0) that is always disadvantageous to the player. 2), the outcome controlled by RT1 which is more disadvantageous than 2, 3) is not always derived, and there is a possibility that an outlier that does not change the gaming state (the gaming state is maintained) may be derived. As a result, even if a secondary role is missed when a winning combination is derived during the control of RT0, 2, 3, the game state is spared from being controlled to an unfavorable state (that is, RT1). Can do. Thereby, the meaning of resurrection of the loser for the player can be given, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When winning the push order bell, the player can win the main character when operated by the corresponding operation procedure by the player, while the player cannot win the main character when operated by the non-corresponding operation procedure. However, even if the main role cannot be won, it is possible to win the secondary role when the player operates the secondary role symbol drawing timing and operates in a non-corresponding operation procedure. Thereby, the meaning of resurrection of the loser for the player can be given, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When controlled by RT4, even if the player can lose the leading role and the secondary role when the player has lost the leading role and the leading role, the transitioning point that is advantageous to the player (RT1 more advantageous than RT4) ) Is not necessarily derived, and there is a possibility that a losing outcome in which the gaming state does not change (RT4 control is maintained) may be derived. Therefore, even if a secondary role is missed when a winning role deriving role is elected during the control of RT4, it is not always controlled by RT1, so the player is informed of the derived outcome. It can give a sense of tension and improve the fun of the game.

  In other words, even if a leading role and a secondary role are missed when a winning role is derived, even if the leading role and secondary role are missed, there is a difference in the degree of advantage between when the shifting outcome is derived and when the transition outcome is derived. Since there are times when the eyes are derived, the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the winning combination (winning flag) of the push order bell, there are a transition outcome derivable role and a transition outcome derivable role. Therefore, even if a secondary role is missed, there are a winning role in which the transitional outcome or outlier is derived, and a winning role in which the transitional outcome is not derived and the outlier is derived. Can be improved.

  As shown in S70 and S90 of FIG. 19, after the main role is missed, depending on whether the third stop was performed at the sub-composition symbol drawing timing or at a timing other than the sub-composition symbol drawing timing, Any of the secondary role, the transitional score, and the missed score is derived. Therefore, even after the main character is missed, the player can have a sense of expectation for the derived game, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  Outgoing outcomes are outcomes that do not generate any bonus prize, replay prize, or small role prize, and are outcomes other than the transitional outcome. Therefore, even if the leading role and the secondary role are missed and the transition outcome is not derived, it can be difficult for the player to determine that the transition outcome has not been derived, thereby improving the interest of the game. Can be made.

[Recommended operating procedure]
In the present embodiment, a recommended operation procedure recommended for the player is provided. The recommended operating procedure is the order in which the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, and is the order in which the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are recommended to the player.

  As a recommended operation procedure in a non-AT game, forward pressing is set. A corresponding operation procedure is set as a recommended operation procedure in a game in which a navigation effect is executed during AT. As a recommended operation procedure in a game in which no navigation effect is executed during AT, forward pressing is set.

  When an operation is performed with a non-recommended operation procedure that is different from the recommended operation procedure, the player is controlled during a penalty period in which the player is disadvantaged. When controlled during the penalty period, even if the AT lottery condition is satisfied, the AT lottery for determining whether or not to provide the navigation stock is not performed. For this reason, if it is controlled during the penalty period, it becomes difficult to control the AT which is advantageous to the player. Therefore, the player operates according to the recommended operation procedure.

  In the present embodiment, no forward push is provided in the corresponding operation procedure for winning the leading role for any push order bell. For this reason, when a player presses the push order bell in a non-AT game and is operated by the forward push, which is the recommended operation procedure, the secondary role or missed outcome is always derived instead of the primary role. For this reason, during non-AT, regardless of whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, as long as it is operated according to the recommended operation procedure, the same secondary role or the same missed appearance will not occur. Must be derived.

  For example, when a middle bell 1 is won in a non-AT game, whether or not the top bell 2, the top bell 3, the top bell 5, or the top bell 8 is won if operated by a forward push that is a recommended operation procedure. Or, the missed outcome is derived. Similarly, even when the middle bell 5 is won in a non-AT game, if it is operated by the forward push which is the recommended operation procedure, it will be one of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the upper bell 8 Wins or misses are derived.

  Therefore, during non-AT, as long as the recommended procedure is operated, the player cannot determine whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell. Even if the main game with a large number of paid-out medals is missed in the winning game, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling sorry, and to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game.

[AT lottery]
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, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not a predetermined lottery condition is satisfied based on a command from the main control unit 41, and executes the AT lottery when the predetermined lottery condition is satisfied. In the AT lottery, whether or not to assign the number of navigation stocks and the number of navigation stocks to be assigned are determined.

  In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a lottery for determining whether or not to provide navigation stock and a lottery for determining the number of navigation stocks to be given (advantage) are performed in a single lottery. Not limited to this, for example, a first lottery for determining whether or not to provide navigation stock is performed, and a second number for determining the number of navigation stock to be granted when it is determined that the navigation stock is given by the first lottery. It may be constituted by two lotteries, such as performing a lottery.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a lottery mode lottery is performed for determining whether the AT lottery mode is to be the normal mode or the high probability mode. Based on the command from the main control unit 41, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether a predetermined lottery condition (normally, in this embodiment, a weak cherry or a strong cherry is won at RT0 to 4 or at the end of AT) is satisfied. If it is established, the lottery mode lottery is executed.

  The lottery mode indicates the winning probability of the number of navigation stocks applied to the AT lottery. The higher probability mode can be expected to acquire more navigation stocks than the normal mode. Normally, when a lottery mode lottery condition is established by winning a weak cherry in RT0 to 4, a lottery mode lottery is performed by random lottery or the like.

  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 AT lottery condition is satisfied when a cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won in RT0 to RT4.

  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. AT lottery is performed with reference to FIG.

  Normally, when RT0 to RT4 and the lottery mode is the high probability 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) AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown.

  When the AT lottery condition is satisfied by the end of BB, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the table shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, whether or not the lottery condition is satisfied is determined by the AT lottery process performed by the sub-control unit 91, and AT lottery is performed when the lottery condition is satisfied.

[AT management processing]
When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the AT lottery, the sub control unit 91 stores an AT flag indicating the AT and the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. Based on the AT flag in the RAM 91c, the sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to AT, and specifies the remaining number of navigation stocks. When the AT flag indicating AT is set, it is possible to control the AT by consuming one navigation stock number.

  When the number of navigation stocks is acquired when the AT flag indicating AT is set, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag and added.

  For example, when an AT lottery is performed when an AT flag indicating that the AT is set, the AT flag corresponding to the result of the AT lottery is updated. To update to the AT flag corresponding to the result of the AT lottery, for example, add the number of navigation stock corresponding to the result of the current AT lottery to the number of navigation stock specified from the AT flag stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The number of navigation stocks may be rewritten to an AT flag for specifying the number of navigation stocks, and any method may be used as long as the current AT flag according to the result of the AT lottery can be specified.

  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 navigation stock remains, AT control is started. In the period from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0, the navigation effect can be executed under the control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks.

  When it is controlled by AT and when it is controlled from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0, or when a predetermined number of games have elapsed in normal / RT0 or normal / RT2, the number of navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) by one. Until the start condition for the AT is established and the navigation effect of the predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment) is executed, the RT is controlled to the ART having the high probability of winning the re-gamer and the AT being the AT. When the number of navigation stock is consumed, it is updated to the AT flag indicating the number of navigation stock subtracted by 1.

  When the sub-control unit 91 consumes 1 navigation stock in the AT management process, that is, when a transition is made from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0 or when a predetermined number of games have elapsed in normal / RT0 or normal / RT2, The number of games is controlled by AT. In the present embodiment, the number of AT games is controlled to 50 games per navigation stock, but may be other AT games.

  By performing AT management processing, the sub-control unit 91 controls to be non-AT when the number of remaining games is 0 when it is ART. At this time, if the number of navigation stocks indicated by the AT flag is 0, it is updated to the AT flag indicating that it is not AT. In other words, a series of AT termination conditions are satisfied when the AT flag for controlling from AT to non-AT is 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 of being controlled to the normal / RT1 is increased.

  On the other hand, if the number of navigation stocks specified from the AT flag when controlled to non-AT is 1 or more, when the target role of the navigation effect is won, 1 navigation stock number is consumed and the navigation effect is performed over 50 games. Is controlled until AT is performed. Then, the number of navigation stock is also reduced to 0, and the number of navigations is also reduced to 0, thereby completing the AT.

  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. In the present embodiment, the navigation target combination is a push order bell and a push order lip. For example, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a corresponding operation procedure for reliably winning a right-down bell or a middle bell is notified.

  Furthermore, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to make it possible to win a promotion replay prize, a special replay prize, an SP replay prize, a bell prize, and a fall replay prize that are intentionally won.

[AT-related processing]
With reference to FIG. 26, an AT-related process when controlled to RT4 (preparation state) will be described. The AT-related process is a process executed by the sub-control unit 91 at a timing of progressing a game in one game (when the start switch 7 is operated, when it is first stopped or when it is second stopped).

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not navigation stock has been acquired (AT flag is stored) (S410). When the sub-control unit 9 has acquired the navigation stock (Y in S410), the sub-control unit 9 determines whether or not the navigation target combination has been won (S420). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 has not acquired navigation stock (N in S410), the AT-related processing ends.

  When the navigation target combination is won (Y in S420), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the navigation target combination determined to have been won is a transition-out derivable combination (S430). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 has not won the navigation target combination (N in S420), the AT-related processing ends.

  When the sub-control unit 91 determines that the navigation target combination determined to have been won is not a shift-out derivable combination (N in S430), it executes a navigation effect. For example, when the navigation target role determined to have been won is a role that cannot be derived from the transition item, a corresponding operation procedure for winning the main role of the role that cannot be derived from the transition item is notified. On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 determines that the navigation target combination determined to have been won is a shift-out derivable combination (Y in S430), the AT related process ends.

  Here, when the winning navigation target combination is a role that cannot be derived from the transition when it is controlled by RT4 and the navigation stock is acquired, a navigation effect is executed, and the winning navigation target combination is transitioned. The reason why the navigation effect is not executed when it is a derivable combination will be described.

  In general, when a winning combination for deriving a transition item is won, if the navigation effect is not executed, the probability of winning the leading role is 1/6, so it is difficult to win the leading role. If the winning navigation target role is a transition-out derivationable role and a navigation effect for winning the main character is executed, the main character wins by being operated according to the operation procedure informed by the navigation effect. In this case, since the transition outcome is not derived, the RT4 is not controlled to the RT1 indefinitely. If it is not controlled by RT1, it will not be controlled by RT0, 2 and 3, which is disadvantageous for the player.

  In view of the above, in the present embodiment, when the navigation stock is acquired under the control of RT4, the navigation effect is not executed even if the winning combination for deriving the transition outcome is won. As a result, it is possible to cause the player to miss the main role and the secondary role, and to cause the player to shift to RT1 by deriving the transition outcome, thereby preventing the player from suffering a disadvantage.

  On the other hand, if the role that cannot be deducted from the transition item is won when the RT4 is controlled and the navigation stock is acquired, the transition event is derived regardless of whether or not the leading role is won. Absent. That is, in a game in which a winning combination that cannot be derived is not transferred to RT1. For this reason, when the role that cannot be derived from the transition item is won when the navigation stock is acquired under the control of RT4, the player is awarded the leading role by executing the navigation effect, so that the game Improve interest.

  As described above, when the navigation item is obtained by controlling the RT4 and the navigation stock is acquired, the transition item is derived without executing the navigation effect, while the transition item is not derived. When a possible role is won, a navigation effect is executed to win the leading role. As a result, when a winning combination that can be derived from the transitional outcome is won, there is no disadvantage of not being transferred from RT4 to RT1, and when a winning combination that cannot be derived from the transitional outcome is elected, You can win the leading role and improve the fun of the game.

[Navigation]
The navigation effect in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, with reference to FIGS. 27 (a-1) and (a-2), a description will be given of an aspect of a navigation effect in a game won by the middle bell during AT and an aspect of effect control when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. .

  In the present embodiment, the middle bells 1 to 4 of the first push order bells that win the middle-level bell having a high degree of advantage when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, and the middle level when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure. The middle bells 5 to 8 of the second push order bells that win the lower right bell, which is less advantageous than the bell, differ in the mode of the navigation effect and the mode of effect control when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. .

  For example, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-1), when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won during the AT, a number surrounded by a circle indicating the stop operation order is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. An image is displayed. When one of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won, numerical images indicating the middle and right stop operation orders are displayed in the order of “3”, “1”, and “2”. Furthermore, at the timing slightly delayed, the sound “medium !!” prompting the middle first stop is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  When the first stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image for notifying that the stop operation has been performed is displayed so as to overlap the number image “1”, and “Nice !!” is displayed at the upper right of the screen. A character image is displayed. Thereafter, the numerical image “1” disappears and the star-shaped notification image and the character image “Nice !!” disappear. Furthermore, at the timing slightly delayed, the sound of “Right !!” prompting the second right stop is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  When the second stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image is displayed so as to overlap the number image “2”, and a character image “Nice !!” is displayed on the upper right of the screen. Thereafter, the numerical image “2” disappears and the star-shaped notification image and the character image “Nice !!” disappear. Furthermore, at the timing slightly delayed, the sound “Left!” Prompting the third stop to the left is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  When the third stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image is displayed so as to overlap the number image “3”, and a character image “Nice !!” is displayed on the upper right of the screen. Thereafter, the numerical image “3” disappears, and the star-shaped notification image and the character image “Nice !!” disappear (not shown).

  When the stop operation is not performed according to the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image and the character image “Nice !!” may not be displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), when one of the middle bells 5 to 8 is won during the AT, the number of circled numbers indicating the stop operation order on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. An image is displayed. When one of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won, numerical images indicating the middle and right stop operation orders are displayed in the order of “3”, “1”, and “2”. The number image displayed at this time is smaller than the number image displayed when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG. Furthermore, at a slightly delayed timing, “medium” sound that prompts the middle first stop is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The sound that is notified at this time has a lower volume than the sound that is notified when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG.

  When the first stop operation is performed in accordance with the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image as when winning one of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG. The image of “1” disappears without displaying any image. Furthermore, at the timing slightly delayed, the “right” sound that prompts the second right stop is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The sound output at this time is lower in volume than the sound output when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 shown in FIG.

  When the second stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image and the character image “Nice!” Are not displayed, and the display of the numerical image “2” disappears. Furthermore, “left” sound that prompts the third stop to the left is output from the speakers 53 and 54 at a slightly delayed timing. The sound output at this time has a lower volume than the sound output when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 is won.

  When the third stop operation is performed in accordance with the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image and the character image “Nice !!” are not displayed, and the display of the numeric image “3” disappears (illustration is omitted).

  As shown in FIG. 27 (a-1), the navigation effect when the middle bells 1-4, which are the first push order bells, are won, the number image indicating the stop operation order on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is large. While being displayed, it is performed in an effect mode in which a sound prompting a stop operation is output from the speakers 53 and 54 at a high volume. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27A-2, in the navigation effect when the middle bells 5 to 8 which are the second push order bells are won, the stop operation order is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. The number image shown is displayed smaller than when the middle bells 1 to 4 are won, and the sound that prompts the stop operation from the speakers 53 and 54 is output at a lower volume than when the middle bells 1 to 4 are won. Done in a manner. For this reason, when the player performs the navigation effect, the player wins the middle bells 1 to 4 which are the first push order bells in which the leading role with high advantage wins by checking the effect mode of the navigation effect. It is possible to recognize whether or not the middle bells 5 to 8 which are the second push order bells won by the main character with low advantage are won.

  Thus, since the navigation effect is executed in a different manner depending on the type of the push order bell, that is, whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, It can attract players' interests and improve the fun of games.

  The navigation effect when the middle bells 1 to 4 that are the first push order bells are won is displayed in a larger numeric image than the navigation effect when the middle bells 5 to 8 that are the second push order bells are won. At the same time, since the sound for prompting the stop operation is output at a large volume, the corresponding operation procedure is emphasized and notified. Thereby, a player's interest can be gathered and the interest of a game improves.

  On the other hand, during non-AT where navigation effects are not executed, the common normal effects are executed regardless of which push order bell is selected, and the derived secondary role or missed output is used as a clue. The player cannot determine whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell. In this way, during AT, depending on the mode of the navigation effect, the middle bell 1 to 4 which is the first push order bell that the main player with high advantage wins is won, or the main character with low advantage wins While it is possible to recognize whether or not the middle bells 5 to 8 that are the two-push order bells are won, during the non-AT, the first push order bells are won or the second push order bells are won. Since it is not possible to recognize whether or not the game has been performed, the gameability changes according to the state, and the interest of the game is improved.

  If the player is able to determine whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell, using the derived secondary role or missed outcome as a clue, the first push If the player recognizes that he has missed the leading role when winning the order bell, the player may be disappointed, and the interest of the game may be reduced. However, in the present embodiment, the player cannot discriminate whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell by using the derived secondary role appearance or missed outcome as a clue. . As a result, even if the main role is missed in the game won in the first push order bell, it is possible to prevent such a sense of disappointment from being given to the player and to prevent a decrease in the interest of the game. be able to.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-1), in the game where the first bells 1 to 4 which are the first push order bells are won, the game is stopped when operated by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. A star-shaped notification image for notifying that the operation has been performed is displayed so as to be superimposed on the numeric image, and an effect is displayed in which a character image of “Nice !!” is displayed on the upper right of the screen. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27 (a-2), when the game is won in the middle bells 5 to 8 which are the second push order bells, when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. However, neither the star-shaped notification image nor the character image “Nice !!” is displayed. For this reason, the player confirms the control mode of the effect when operating in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure informed by the navigation effect, so that the main bell 1 to 1 which is the first push order bell that the main character with high advantage wins. It is possible to recognize whether the player has won 4 or has won the middle bells 5 to 8, which are the second pushing order bells with the main character having a low advantage. In addition, when an operation is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image is displayed so as to overlap the number image, and a character image “Nice !!” is displayed on the upper right of the screen. It is possible to make the player expect that the performance will be executed, and to improve the interest of the game.

  As described above, when the operation is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure, the control mode of the effect depends on the type of the push order bell that has been won, that is, whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won. Since they are different, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the control mode of the performance, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 27 (b-1) and (b-2), description will be made on the aspect of the navigation effect in the game won by the right bell during AT and the aspect of the effect control when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. To do.

  In the present embodiment, the right bells 1 to 4 of the first push order bells that win the middle-level bell having a high advantage when operated by the corresponding operation procedure, and the middle level when operated by the corresponding operation procedure. The right bells 5 to 8 of the second push order bells that win the lower-righting bell, which is less advantageous than the bell, have the same navigation effect, but the effect when operated in the corresponding operation procedure The mode of control differs only during the third stop.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 27 (b-1) and (b-2), even if either of right bells 1 to 4 and right bells 5 to 8 is won during the AT, it is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51. A numerical image surrounded by a circle indicating the stop operation order is displayed small. Furthermore, a sound prompting a stop operation in the corresponding operation procedure is output from the speakers 53 and 54 at a low volume.

  When the first stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image and a character image “Nice !!” are displayed regardless of whether the right bell 1 to 4 or the right bell 5 to 8 is won. The number image of “1” disappears.

  When the second stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, a star-shaped notification image and a character image “Nice !!” are displayed regardless of whether the right bell 1 to 4 or the right bell 5 to 8 is won. The number image “2” disappears.

  When the third stop operation is performed according to the navigation effect, if any of the right bells 1 to 4 is selected, a star-shaped notification image is displayed overlapping the number image “3”, and the upper right of the screen A character image “Nice !!” is displayed. Thereafter, the numerical image “3” disappears, and the star-shaped notification image and the character image “Nice !!” disappear (not shown). On the other hand, if one of the right bells 5 to 8 is won, neither the star-shaped notification image nor the character image “Nice !!” is displayed, and the display of the numeric image “3” disappears (illustrated). Is omitted).

  27 (b-1) and (b-2), as shown in FIGS. 27 (b-1) and (b-2), the navigation effect when the right bells 1 to 4 as the first push order bells are won, and the right bell 5 as the second push order bells. In the navigation effect when winning 8 is selected, the mode of the navigation effect is the same. For this reason, even when the navigation effect is executed, the player has won the right bells 1 to 4 which are the first push order bells that win the leading role having a high advantage based on the mode of the navigation effect. It is not possible to recognize whether the leading role having a low advantage wins the right bells 5 to 8 which are the second push order bells to win.

  Furthermore, the game won in the right bells 1 to 4 as the first push order bell and the game won in the right bells 5 to 8 as the second push order bell are operated according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. Even if it is done, the control mode of the production is the same until the second stop. Therefore, even when the player operates up to the second stop according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, the first push order bell in which the leading role having a high degree of advantage wins the win based on the control mode of the effect at the time of operation. It is not possible to recognize whether one of the right bells 1 to 4 has been won, or whether the right bells 5 to 8 that are the second push order bells won by the low-priority main character win.

  On the other hand, in the game where the right bells 1 to 4 which are the first push order bells are won, the stop operation is notified when the third stop operation is performed in the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect. The star-shaped notification image is displayed so as to be superimposed on the numeric image, and an effect is displayed in which a character image of “Nice !!” is displayed on the upper right of the screen. On the other hand, in the game where the right bells 5 to 8 which are the second push order bells are won, even when the third stop operation is performed by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image is “ The character image “Nice !!” is also not displayed. For this reason, the player finally confirms the control mode of the effect when the operation is performed up to the third stop by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, and finally the first push order bell in which the leading role having a high advantage wins. It is possible to recognize whether one of the bells 1 to 4 has been won or whether the main bell having a low advantage has won the second bell in the order of the second push order.

  As described above, when the third stop is performed in the corresponding operation procedure, the direction of the presentation depends on the type of the push order bell that has been won, that is, whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won. The control mode is finally different. For this reason, until the stop operation at the time when the display result for generating the winning is finally derived, the player can be stopped with a sense of tension, and the control mode of the effect at the final stop Can attract the player's interest and improve the interest of the game.

  Depending on the type of winning combination, it is determined whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won based on the effect aspect of the navigation effect or the effect control aspect when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. It may not be possible. In this way, even during AT, the player can determine whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell has been won by deriving a secondary role or a missed outcome. This can prevent disappointment.

[Winning effect related processing]
The winning effect related process executed by the sub control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG. The sub-control unit 91 executes a winning effect-related process when the player stops for the third time. Specifically, when the sub control unit 91 receives a reel stop command for each of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel from the main control unit 41 (that is, when one game is finished), the sub-control unit 91 performs the winning effect related processing. Run.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the operation has been performed according to a recommended operation procedure (forward pressing during non-AT, corresponding operating procedure informed during AT and navigation production, and forward pressing during AT and non-navigation production). (S510).

  When the sub-control unit 91 is operated according to the recommended operation procedure (Y in S510), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a small winning combination has occurred (S520). The sub-control unit 91 ends the winning effect related process when the small winning combination has not occurred (N in S520). On the other hand, when a small winning combination is generated (Y in S520), the sub-control unit 91 executes a winning notification process for notifying that a small winning combination has been generated as a result of operation according to the recommended operation procedure (S530). Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the payout information in the recommended operation mode (S540).

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays the acquired number while counting up on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 in accordance with the payout of medals due to the occurrence of the small role winning. For example, when the middle bell is won, it is displayed while updating the acquired number, such as “1”, “2”,... “7”, “8”. Further, the sub-control unit 91 outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 53 and 54 every time it is updated. In this way, by notifying the payout information in the recommended operation mode, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize that the player has won a small role as a result of the operation in the recommended operation procedure. Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the winning effect related process.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 is not operated according to the recommended operation procedure (when operated according to the non-recommended operation procedure) (N in S510), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not it is controlled during the penalty period (S550). ). The sub-control unit 91 determines whether the penalty period is controlled based on whether the penalty flag is stored in the RAM 91c in the process of S570.

  When the sub-control unit 91 is not controlled during the penalty period (N in S550), the sub-control unit 91 executes a penalty lottery for determining whether to control during the penalty period (S560). In the penalty lottery, it is determined whether to control the penalty period by random number lottery. In the present embodiment, it is determined that the penalty period is controlled with a probability of 95%, and it is determined that the penalty period is not controlled with a probability of 5%. These probabilities may be other values, and may be controlled during the penalty period whenever operated in a non-recommended operation procedure. Note that in a game in which a navigation effect is executed, if the player is operated in a non-recommended operation procedure, the player is disadvantageous not only in controlling during the penalty period but also in missing a main character winning prize.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not it is determined to control during the penalty period (S570). When the sub-control unit 91 determines to control during the penalty period (Y in S570), the sub-control unit 91 controls during the penalty period, stores the penalty flag in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and proceeds to the process of S590.

  On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 91 is controlled in the penalty period (Y in S550) or decides not to control in the penalty period (N in S570), the sub-control unit 91 proceeds to the process of S590.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a small role winning has occurred (S590). The sub-control unit 91 ends the winning effect related process when the small winning combination has not occurred (N in S590). On the other hand, when a small winning combination occurs (Y in S590), the sub-control unit 91 notifies the payout information in the non-recommended operation mode without executing the winning notification process (S540).

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 displays the acquired number without counting up on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 in accordance with the payout of medals due to the occurrence of the small role winning. For example, when winning the middle bell, only the acquired number of “8” is displayed. Further, unlike the recommended operation mode, the predetermined sound is not output from the speakers 53 and 54. As described above, when the payout information is notified in the non-recommended operation mode, it is more difficult for the player to recognize that the small role is won than when the payout information is notified in the recommended operation mode. Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 ends the winning effect related process.

  Furthermore, when operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, the winning notification process at the time of winning the small role as executed when operated in the recommended operation procedure is not executed. In this way, in the game operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, the execution of the winning notification process is restricted (prohibited), so that the player is informed that the player has won the small role as when operated in the recommended operation procedure. It can prevent impressing. Therefore, the player can be guided to operate according to the recommended operation procedure.

[Winning notification process]
The winning notification process will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 29A shows an effect mode at the time of winning when the middle bell 1 is won in a game in which no navigation effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (a-1), when the player has won the upper bell 2 as a result of the forward pressing as a recommended operation procedure in a game in which no navigation effect is executed, a winning notification process is executed. When the winning notification process is executed, the reel LED 55 corresponding to a symbol (that is, a bell-bell-bell arranged on the upper line LM) that allows the player to directly recognize that the upper bell 2 has won. Lights up and a predetermined sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54. By executing such a winning notification process, it is possible to make the player clearly recognize that the upper bell 2 has won.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29 (a-2), when a middle bell is won as a result of an irregular pressing (a stop operation different from forward pressing), which is a non-recommended operating procedure in a game where no navigation effect is executed, The notification process is not executed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing as much as possible that the middle bell has won (hard to recognize).

  FIG. 29B shows an effect mode at the time of winning when the middle bell 1 is won in the game in which the navigation effect is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (b-1), when a game with a navigation effect is executed according to the notified corresponding operation procedure, which is a recommended operation procedure, when a middle bell is won, a winning notification process is executed. The When the winning notification process is executed, the reel LEDs 55 corresponding to the symbols (that is, the bell-bell-bell arranged on the winning line LN) that can directly recognize the player that the middle bell has won. It lights up and a predetermined sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54. By executing such a winning notification process, the player can clearly recognize that the middle bell has won.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29 (b-2), when the upper bell 2 is won as a result of being operated in the non-corresponding operation procedure which is a non-recommended operation procedure in the game in which the navigation effect is executed, the winning notification process is performed. Not executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing as much as possible that the upper bell 2 has won (it is difficult to recognize).

  In this way, as a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, even if a small role is won, the execution of the winning notification process is restricted. It can prevent impressing the player. Therefore, the player can be guided to operate according to the recommended operation procedure.

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although main embodiment in this invention has been described, this invention is not restricted to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About gaming state]
As shown in FIG. 9, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has RT0 to RT4, 1, 2 inside, and a bonus state as gaming states. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and two RT states may be provided. FIG. 30 shows the transition of the gaming state in the slot machine 1 having two RT states and a CB state. The transition of the gaming state in the modification will be described using FIG.

  RT1 is a state in which a game can proceed, and a medal payout rate based on a predetermined design value is secured. For example, in RT1, for each of the setting values 1 to 6, the medal payout rates are determined to be 98%, 100%, 102%, 104%, 106%, and 108%. In the slot machine 1 of this modification, RT1 is also referred to as an “appropriate state” because it allows the player to play most games under the control of RT1.

  RT0, like RT1, is a state where the game can proceed and the medal payout rate based on a predetermined design value is secured, but until the medal payout rate at RT1 is reached It is not secured. For example, in RT0, for each of the set values 1 to 6, the medal payout rates are determined to be 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 96%, and 98%. Thus, in this modification, RT1 is set so that the medal payout rate is higher at any set value than RT0. Note that RT0 is a state different from RT1, and is not a state controlled by most games like RT1 (appropriate state), so it is also referred to as an “inappropriate state”.

  CB is a state in which a CB game is played. The CB game is a game in which all small roles are won and is played until a predetermined end condition is satisfied. The predetermined end condition is, for example, a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined number of medals are paid out during the CB game, or a condition that is satisfied when the CB game is consumed. In the CB game, the medal payout rate is 100% regardless of the setting values 1 to 6. That is, in the CB in the present modification, the number of medals used for setting the bet amount is the same as the number of medals paid out, and the net increase in the CB does not change. Note that CB is also referred to as a “special game state”.

  In RT0, the probability of winning a CB is, for example, 1/10. When the CB is won at RT0 and the CB cannot be won, the gaming state shifts from RT0 to RT1. After that, in RT1, the CB winning is carried over after the next game.

  When the winning CB is won at RT1, the gaming state shifts from RT1 to CB. In RT1, CB can be awarded only when none of the winning combinations of RT1 is won. Here, the probability that none of the winning combinations of RT1 will be won is a very small value such as 1/65536, for example, and in RT1, CB can rarely be won.

  When a predetermined end condition is satisfied in CB and the execution of the CB game ends, the gaming state shifts from CB to RT0.

  When the clerk operates the reset switch 23 in RT1 or CB to clear the RAM, the gaming state shifts to RT0. When the RAM is cleared at RT0, the gaming state is maintained at RT0.

  The slot machine 1 of this modification is for causing a player to play most games at RT1. On the other hand, in RT0 and CB, the player is rarely allowed to play. Specifically, before the game store is opened, the store clerk may clear the RAM in order to erase the game information of the previous day. Therefore, in the slot machine 1 before the store opening, the gaming state is controlled to RT0 because it is immediately after the RAM is cleared. Therefore, the store clerk plays the game a plurality of times until winning the CB in order to shift from RT0 to RT1. After that, when CB is won and controlled by RT1, the game store is opened in this state and the player is allowed to play. Thereby, the player comes to play most games at RT1. Note that there is a case where the player moves to CB when winning a CB at RT1 and then moves to RT0 after the end of the CB, but such a situation is rare.

  As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present modification has a novel gaming characteristic because it allows the player to play most games in a state where the CB winning is carried over (that is, RT1). Therefore, it does not have a game property that advantageously advances the game by improving the winning probability of the re-gamer.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of this modification, since most games are games that progress in a single gaming state called RT1, the game state transition is frequently performed to determine the winning probability of the re-gamer. The difference in level does not change the degree of advantage among players, but it is very important for players to be controlled by AT accordingly. In other words, in the slot machine 1 where the winning probability of the re-gamer does not change according to the game state, the game is advantageously advanced by increasing the net number of medals by winning the leading role such as the middle bell by the navigation effect during the AT. However, it is an important factor that separates victory and defeat.

  In this modification, the sub-control unit 91 sends a state command that specifies that the state of the next game is RT0 or an operation detection command that specifies that the operation of the reset switch 23 is detected to the main control unit. When received from 41, it is determined that the state of the next game is RT0.

  In this modification, when the CB is won at RT0 and the gaming state shifts to RT1, a suggestion effect that suggests a transition of the gaming state is executed. In this modification, a sound that suggests CB winning is output from the speakers 53 and 54 (for example, a special sound that is not normally output when the game is advanced in RT1), and the reel LED 55 blinks. Suggestion production is performed. Thereby, a store clerk or the like can easily determine the transition of the gaming state from RT0 to RT1.

  In the slot machine 1 of such a modification, AT lottery is not performed at RT0 and AT lottery is not performed at RT1. For this reason, RT0 is not controlled by AT, and RT1 is controlled by AT.

  If an AT lottery is made at RT0, there may be a case where AT is won during a plurality of games that are consumed by the store clerk until CB is won in order to shift from RT0 to RT1. If the store clerk opens the store without noticing the AT win (in this case, the AT win and controlled by RT1), the AT win (an advantageous state), a so-called morning service (before the store opens the hall) In other words, the player is allowed to play a game in a state where the service is prepared so as to be in an advantageous state, and the payout rate may not be as designed.

  Therefore, the present modification is configured so that AT lottery is not performed at RT0. Therefore, winning an AT during RT0 can be prevented, and a state like a morning service can be prevented.

  It should be noted that although an AT lottery may be performed at RT0, an AT winning may not always be performed. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent winning an AT during RT0 and prevent a state such as a morning service.

[About the navigation effect]
In the present embodiment, the navigation effect for the first push order bell, which increases the advantage when operated in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, displays a large numerical image and from the speakers 53 and 54. The production mode was such that a sound prompting the stop operation was output at a high volume. On the other hand, in the navigation effect for the second push order bell, which is less advantageous than the first push order bell when operated in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, a numerical image is displayed smaller and the speaker 53 , 54 is a production mode in which a voice prompting a stop operation is output at a low volume. However, the way in which the production styles of the combination with a high advantage and the combination with a low advantage are different is not limited to this.

  For example, when winning a role with a high advantage and when winning a role with a low advantage, the type and density of the color image of the navigation effect on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, the number of colors used May be different. Different character images may be displayed when a winning combination with a high advantage is won and when a winning combination with a low advantage is won. A character image may be displayed only when a winning combination with high advantage is won. The type of sound that prompts the stop operation may be different depending on whether a winning combination with a high advantage is won or a winning combination with a low advantage. The types of effects produced by the LEDs may be different depending on whether a winning combination with a high advantage is won or a winning combination with a low advantage. You may perform the production | presentation by LED only when a winning combination with high advantage is won.

  Furthermore, when a winning combination with a high degree of advantage is won, a navigation effect is performed by three types of effects: an effect on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, an effect by sound output from the speakers 53 and 54, and an effect by LEDs. On the other hand, when a winning combination with a low advantage is won, a navigation effect by two or less types of effects may be executed. When a winning combination with a high degree of advantage is won, the number of times of producing the navigation effect may be made more flashy than when a winning combination with a low degree of advantage is won. When winning a role with a high degree of advantage, it is easier to impress the player by making the direction of the navigation effect flashy, such as by highlighting the corresponding operation procedure than when winning a role with a low advantage. do it. In addition, the navigation effect can be performed in any performance mode as long as the player can recognize whether the winning role has been won by a role with a high advantage or a role with a low advantage. It may be broken.

  In the present embodiment, in a game in which a role having a high advantage (for example, middle bell 1 to 4) is won during AT, a numerical image is always displayed large, and a stop operation is urged from speakers 53 and 54. The navigation effect is executed in the effect mode in which the sound is output at a large volume. On the other hand, in a game in which a role having a low advantage (for example, middle bells 5 to 8) is won during AT, a numerical image is always displayed small, and a sound for prompting a stop operation from the speakers 53 and 54 is low in volume. The navigation effect is executed in the output effect mode. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, in a game that has won a role with a high advantage during AT, a flashy performance mode (for example, a number image is displayed larger with a higher probability than a game that has won a role with a low advantage during AT, The navigation effect may be executed in an effect mode in which a sound prompting the stop operation is output from the speakers 53 and 54 at a high volume. On the other hand, in a game where a role with a low advantage during AT is won, a plain performance mode (for example, a numerical image is displayed smaller with a higher probability than a game where a role with a high advantage during AT is won, The navigation effect may be executed in such a manner that the sound for prompting the stop operation from the speakers 53 and 54 is output at a low volume. Even in this case, when the navigation effect is executed, the player confirms the effect mode of the navigation effect, so that the player has a high possibility of winning the role having a high advantage, or the advantage is low. You can recognize if you are likely to win the role.

  As described above, since the navigation effect is executed in different effects depending on the type of winning combination, the player can be interested in the effect effect of the navigation effect, and the interest of the game is improved.

[Regarding the control mode of effects during operation in the corresponding operation procedure]
In the present embodiment, when operated by the corresponding operation procedure at the time of the navigation effect for the first push order bell that is highly advantageous when operated by the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, the star-shaped notification image is displayed. In addition to being displayed, the effect that a character image of “Nice !!” is displayed is executed. On the other hand, when an operation is performed in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure informed by the navigation effect, when the operation is performed in the corresponding operation procedure at the time of the navigation effect for the second push order bell that does not have an advantage higher than that of the first push order bell, Neither the notification image nor the character image “Nice !!” was displayed. However, the method of changing the control mode of the effect during the operation in the corresponding operation procedure for the combination with a high advantage and the combination with a low advantage is not limited to this.

  For example, when winning a role with a high degree of advantage, an effect at the time of operation is executed, and when winning a role with a low degree of advantage, the effect at the time of operation is not limited to being performed, and any combination of points is won You may perform the production of time. In this case, when a winning combination with a high degree of advantage is won, it is only necessary to make the effect at the time of operation more glamorous and more impressive to the player than when a winning combination with a low advantage is won.

  Further, when a winning combination with a high degree of advantage is won, production is performed during all operations from the first stop operation to the third stopping operation, whereas when a winning combination with a low advantage is won, the first An effect may be performed during some operations from the stop operation to the third stop operation. When a winning combination with a high degree of advantage is won, the operation may be performed more times than when a winning combination with a low degree of advantage is won. When winning a role with a high degree of advantage, unlike when winning a role with a low degree of advantage, during the operation according to the corresponding operation procedure, the effect at the time of operation is performed, or the effect mode at the time of operation is flashy Thus, it should be easy to impress the player. In addition, any control mode may be used as long as it is an effect control mode at the time of operation that allows the player to recognize whether the winning role has been won by a role with high advantage or a role with low advantage. There may be.

  In the present embodiment, in a game won in a role having a high advantage during the AT (for example, the middle bell 1 to 4), an effect at the time of operation is always executed, whereas the advantage during the AT is In a game in which a low combination (for example, medium bells 5 to 8) is won, an effect at the time of operation is not always executed. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, in a game in which a role having a high advantage is won during an AT, a control is executed to execute an effect at the time of operation with a higher probability than in a game won in a role having a low advantage during an AT. Good. On the other hand, in a game won in a role with a low advantage during AT, even if a control that does not execute an effect at the time of operation is performed with a higher probability than a game won in a role with a high advantage during AT Good. Alternatively, in a game that has won a role having a high advantage during AT, a flashy effect mode (for example, a star-shaped notification image is displayed with a higher probability than a game that has won a role having a low advantage during AT. At the same time, a control may be performed in which an effect at the time of operation is performed in an effect mode in which a character image of “Nice !!” is displayed. On the other hand, in a game won in a role with a low advantage during AT, a plain effect mode (for example, only a star-shaped notification image is displayed with a higher probability than a game won in a role with a high advantage during AT. In other words, a control for executing an effect at the time of operation may be performed.

  Thus, since the control mode of the effect differs depending on the type of winning combination, the player can be interested in the control mode of the effect, and the interest of the game is improved.

[About the role that the production control mode at the time of operation differs in the production mode of the navigation production and the corresponding operation procedure]
In the present embodiment, when the middle bells 1 to 4 of the first push order bells are won and when the middle bells 5 to 8 of the second push order bells are won, the effect of the navigation effect is produced. The control mode at the time of operation is different in the mode and the corresponding operation procedure. Further, when the right bells 1 to 4 of the first push order bells are won and when the right bells 5 to 8 of the second push order bells are won, the control mode during operation in the corresponding operation procedure Was different. As described above, in the present embodiment, a small role having a high advantage and a small role having a low advantage are compared by comparing small roles having the same corresponding operation procedure for winning the main character. The control mode at the time of operation is made different in the production mode and the corresponding operation procedure. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, when the right bells 1 to 4 of the first push order bells are won, the navigation effect is executed in a flashy effect mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, and the control that executes the effect during the operation according to the corresponding operation procedure is performed. On the other hand, when the right bells 5 to 8 of the second push order bells are won, the navigation effect is executed in a sober production manner than when the right bells 1 to 4 are won, and the corresponding operation procedure Control which does not execute the effect at the time of operation may be performed. Even if it does in this way, whether the main character with high advantage won the right bell 1-4 won, or whether the main character with low advantage won the middle bell 5-8 which is the second push order bell to win Thus, the player can be made to recognize the effect mode of the navigation effect and the control mode at the time of the operation, and the player's interest can be gathered with respect to the effect mode of the navigation effect and the control mode at the time of the operation.

  Not only a small role but also a re-playing role may be won, the control mode at the time of operation may be made different depending on the effect mode of the navigation effect and the corresponding operation procedure according to the type of the winning role. For example, when an operation is performed according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect and the first push order lip in which the promotion replay that shifts to an advantageous gaming state when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect is awarded. The lottery target role may be provided with a second push order lip in which a maintenance replay that does not shift to a gaming state advantageous to (for example, maintaining the gaming state) wins. In this case, when the first push order lip is won, the navigation effect is executed in a flashy effect mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, and the control is executed to execute the effect during the operation according to the corresponding operation procedure. When winning the 2-push order lip, the navigation effect is executed in a sober production manner than when the first push-order lip is won, and the control is not executed even when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. May be used.

  You may vary the control mode at the time of operation by the production | presentation aspect of a navigation effect, and the corresponding | compatible operation procedure by the time of winning a specific small role and the time of winning a specific re-playing role. For example, in a game won by a specific small role, when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure notified by the navigation effect, a privilege (for example, granting of navigation stock, improvement of AT winning probability, benefit effect, portable to an external server device) In the game won by the specific re-playing player, it was operated according to the corresponding operation procedure informed by the navigation effect. Occasionally, benefits that are not granted, or benefits that are less advantageous than when a specific small role is won (for example, there are few grants of navigation stock, little improvement in AT winning probability, execution of some of the bonus effects, points A part of the above may be provided). In this case, when a specific small role to which a privilege with a high degree of advantage is awarded is selected, a navigation effect is executed in a flashy effect mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, and a control is executed to execute the effect during the operation according to the corresponding operation procedure. In contrast, when a specific re-playing role in which a privilege is not given or a privilege with low advantage is won, a navigation effect is executed in a sobering manner than when a specific small role is won, And control which does not perform the production | presentation at the time of operation may be performed even if it operates by a corresponding | compatible operation procedure.

  The relationship between the specific small combination and the specific re-playing combination may be reversed. In other words, when a specific re-gamer who is awarded a privilege with high advantage is won, control is performed to execute a navigation effect in a flashy effect mode that emphasizes the corresponding operation procedure, and to execute an effect during operation according to the corresponding operation procedure. On the other hand, when winning a specific small role where a privilege is not granted or a privilege with low advantage is won, a navigation effect is executed in a sober production mode than when a specific replaying role is won, And control which does not perform the production | presentation at the time of operation may be performed even if it operates by a corresponding | compatible operation procedure.

  Note that the first pushing order bell with high advantage includes both the middle bell and the right bell, and the second pushing order bell with low advantage includes both the middle bell and the right bell. Not limited to this. For example, the first push order bell with high advantage includes only one of the middle bell and the right bell, whereas the second push order bell with low advantage has the middle bell and the right bell. Both may be included. Alternatively, the first push order bell with high advantage includes both the middle bell and the right bell, while the second push order bell with low advantage has one of the middle bell and the right bell. May be included. Further, the left bell set with the first left stop as the corresponding operation procedure may be included in the first push order bell or the second push order bell.

  In the present embodiment, the first push order bell has a higher advantage than the second push order bell in that more than eight medals are paid out when the leading role wins. . However, it is not limited to this. For example, the main role of the first push order bell may be less than or equal to the medal payout number than the main role of the second push order bell. In this case, in terms of the number of medals to be paid out, the first push order bell has a lower advantage than the second push order bell, or plays the same advantage. However, the first push order bell is given a privilege (for example, granting of navigation stock, improvement of AT winning probability, execution of privilege production, etc.) when the leading role wins, whereas the second push order bell The first push order bell may be more advantageous than the second push order bell in that no privilege is given even if the leading role wins.

[About the leading role]
In the present embodiment, the medal payout number of the leading role is different when the first push order bell is won and when the second push order bell is won. For example, the number of medal payouts when the main character (middle bell) of the middle bell 1 wins is eight, whereas the number of medal payouts when the main character (lower right bell) of the middle bell 5 wins is three. Yes, the advantage varies depending on the difference in the number of medals paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as the advantage in winning the leading role is different between when the first push order bell is won and when the second push order bell is won.

  For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a predetermined privilege is given when a middle bell with a large number of medal payouts wins and a predetermined privilege is not given when a right-down bell with a small medal payout number wins. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to further widen the difference in the degree of advantage between the middle bell prize and the right-down bell prize, and it is possible to give a sense of clarity to the game.

  For example, when a downward-sloping bell with a small medal payout number wins, a predetermined privilege (for example, execution of AT lottery or execution of privilege effect) is given, and even if a middle bell with a large medal payout number wins, You may make it the structure that a predetermined privilege is not provided (henceforth "the 1st structure"). In the case of such a configuration, even if a downward-sloping bell with a small medal payout number wins, a privilege is given, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  For example, the number of medals paid out at the time of winning the middle bell and the number of medals at the time of falling down the right bell is the same, and the benefits are given by giving a predetermined privilege at either the time of winning the middle bell or right down bell You may make it provide the difference of.

  In addition, since the winning probability of the push order bell is set to be relatively high, it is preferable that the advantage of the privilege to be given is not so high. For example, when the privilege is an AT lottery, the probability that the number of navigation stocks to be granted is “0” is “95%”, and the probability that the number of navigation stocks to be granted is “1” is “5”. % ".

  In the present embodiment, the leading role is different between the first push order bell and the second push order bell. For example, the main character of the middle bell 1 is a middle bell, while the main character of the middle bell 5 is a right-down bell. However, if the display results of the main roles are different between the first push order bell and the second push order bell, and the advantages when the main role is derived are different, the first push order bell and the second push order bell. And the main character may be the same.

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment may have a plurality of pay lines. The winning line is not limited to a straight line, and may be, for example, a mountain-shaped line or a valley-shaped line. For example, the main character of the first push order bell is aligned over three lines, whereas the main character of the second push order bell is the same as the main character of the first push order bell and is one line. It is good also as what is aligned over. For example, if the same leading role is Bell-Bell-Bell, the leading role of the first push order bell is a role in which “Bell-Bell-Bell” is aligned across three lines, and the leading role of the second push order bell is It is a role that "bell-bell-bell" is aligned across one line. Nine medals are paid out when "Bell-Bell-Bell" is aligned across 3 lines, whereas 3 medals are paid out when "Bell-Bell-Bell" is aligned across 1 line It may be. As described above, the winning combination may be made the same for the leading role of the first pushing order bell and the leading role of the second pushing order bell, while the number of derived lines may be different.

  The first push order bell and the second push order bell need only have different combinations of winning combinations. For example, the first push order bell may win the main role of the second push order bell, and the second push order bell may win the main role of the first push order bell.

  For example, in a slot machine having N (N is a natural number) winning lines, when a specific winning combination is won and when operated in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure, S (S satisfies S ≦ M as the leading role) When natural numbers) symbols that generate a prize are aligned on a winning line, and operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure, T (T is a natural number that satisfies T ≦ S) You may make it arrange the pattern which produces a prize. That is, S winning prizes may be generated as the main role, and T winning prizes may be generated as the secondary role. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the number of medals to be paid out when the leading role wins is smaller than when the secondary role wins. Further, even in such a configuration, when a secondary role is missed, a transitional outcome or a missed outcome may be derived.

  The S winnings and the T winnings may all be the same (for example, a bell winning bell-bell-bell). That is, when a specific winning combination is won and the corresponding operation procedure is operated, S bell winnings are generated, and when the operation procedure is different from the corresponding operating procedure, T bell winnings are generated. Is done. In such a configuration, the concept of a secondary role is lost. When S bell prizes are generated, there are more medal payouts than when T bell prizes are generated. With such a configuration, it is possible to allow the player to recognize whether or not the player has been operated in accordance with the corresponding operation procedure based on the number of winning a bell, so that the interest of the game can be improved. Even when the T-bell prize is not generated due to the operation in the non-corresponding operation procedure, the transition outcome or the miss outcome is derived.

[About secondary roles]
In the present embodiment, in a game that has won the push order bell, when the corresponding operation procedure is operated, the main character always wins, and when the operation is performed by a specific operation procedure out of non-corresponding operation procedures other than the corresponding operation procedure. When the deputy role wins and is operated in an operation procedure other than the specific operation procedure in the non-corresponding operation procedure, the missed out lead is derived. In other words, in a game in which the push order bell is won, the main character always wins when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, and only when the main character wins when operated according to the non-corresponding operation procedure. When the winning combination was won and operated at a timing other than the sub-drawing symbol drawing timing, the missed outcome was derived. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, in a game that wins the push order bell, the main role always wins when operated by the corresponding operation procedure, whereas the secondary role always wins when operated by the non-corresponding operation procedure. May be. Or, in a game that wins the push order bell, the main character always wins when operated by the corresponding operation procedure, whereas the missed out lead is always derived when operated by the non-corresponding operation procedure. There may be.

  In the present embodiment, for example, regardless of whether the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the same secondary role or the same missed appearance will be obtained when operated in the same non-corresponding operation procedure. Explained as derived. However, only the missed appearance may be the same, and the secondary role may be different.

  When the secondary role is derived, a predetermined number of medals are paid out. Therefore, even if the winning combination is grasped by the player from the derived secondary role, disappointment is reduced. On the other hand, since the medal is not paid out when the missed outcome is derived, the winning combination is grasped by the player from the derived missed outcome and the player is disappointed. Therefore, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won, the missed outcome derived when operated by the same non-corresponding operation procedure is the same, but the derived secondary role is made different. May be.

  In order to realize a slot machine having such a configuration, for example, a stop control table shown below may be referred to. For example, when the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 is won by the player, it is the secondary role drawing timing, and when operated by a non-corresponding operation procedure, the different secondary role depending on the type of the winning role The stop control table for deriving the same spilled out eye is referenced when it is operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure and the timing is different from the sub role symbol drawing timing. You may make it do.

  In this embodiment, when the push order bell is won, the secondary role symbol is always drawn at the time of the first stop and the second stop when operated by the non-corresponding operation procedure, while the operation at the third stop is performed. According to the timing, one of the secondary role and the missed event is derived, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the time of the first stop, the secondary role symbol may be always drawn, and either the secondary role or the missed output may be derived according to the operation timing at the time of the second stop or the third stop. .

[About the winning roles in a predetermined relationship]
Hereinafter, the lottery target roles having a predetermined relationship with each other are referred to as the lottery target roles α and β. The lottery object combinations α and β correspond to the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5, respectively. The lottery target roles α and β have a main role and a secondary role, respectively. In the present embodiment, the description has been given on the assumption that the lottery object combinations α and β having a predetermined relationship are completely the same. For example, the secondary role of the middle bell 1 and the secondary role of the middle bell 5 are both the upper bell 2 and the upper bell 5 and are completely the same. However, the lottery target roles α and β do not have to be completely the same, as long as they have a common role. For example, the secondary role included in the lottery target role α may be “secondary role X and secondary role Y”, and the secondary role included in the lottery target role β may be “secondary role X and secondary role Z”. That is, the lottery target roles α and β are provided with the common subsidiary role X. In such a configuration, even when the lottery target role α is won or when the lottery target role β is won, it is a non-corresponding operation procedure and is operated at the sub role symbol drawing timing. When the winning combination is made, the reel control is executed such that the common secondary role X is always won and the secondary role Y or the secondary role Z is not won.

  In this way, even if the lottery target roles α and β have the common secondary role X, the lottery target role α includes the secondary role Y, and the lottery target role β includes the secondary role Z. When the target combination α or the lottery target combination β is elected, if it is a non-corresponding operation procedure and is operated at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, the common secondary role X is always won and the secondary roles Y and Z are Make sure not to win a prize. Even in this way, it is possible to prevent the player from knowing the lottery target combination and giving a sense of disappointment.

  There are the following methods as a method for making sure that the common secondary role X is always won and the secondary roles Y and Z are not always won. For example, when the lottery target role α or the lottery target role β is elected, if the non-corresponding operation procedure is operated at the timing at which the constituent symbols of the secondary roles Y and Z are pulled in, the secondary symbol X is always configured. The pattern is arranged so that can be withdrawn. By making such a symbol arrangement, even if the winning combination α or β wins, the constituent symbols of the secondary roles Y and Z are not derived on the winning line LN, and the constituent symbols of the secondary role X are determined to be the winning line LN. Can be derived above.

  In the present embodiment, the “corresponding operation procedure” and the “non-corresponding operation procedure” of the lottery object combination are completely the same in a plurality of winning combinations, for example, the corresponding operation procedures of the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 are both Both are the middle first stop, and the non-corresponding operation procedures are both the first left stop or the first right stop. However, the non-corresponding operation procedure of the lottery object combination may not be completely the same as long as it includes a common procedure. For example, the corresponding operation procedure and the non-corresponding operation procedure for the lottery object combination α and the lottery object combination β may be set as follows.

  The corresponding operation procedure for the lottery object combination α is the first stop on the right, and the non-corresponding operation procedure is the first stop on the left and the first stop on the middle. The corresponding operation procedure for the lottery target combination β is the middle first stop, and the non-corresponding operation procedure is the first left stop and the first right stop. When configured in this way, the non-corresponding operation procedure for the lottery target role α and the lottery target role β includes the first left stop as a common operation procedure, and the non-corresponding operation procedure for the lottery target role α is the middle first stop. The non-corresponding operation procedure of the including lottery object combination β includes the first right stop.

  Here, if the recommended operating procedure is the first left stop, the normal player operates the stop switch according to the recommended operating procedure in order to avoid a penalty. That is, as long as the information corresponding to the lottery target role (for example, the corresponding operation procedure for the lottery target role) is not notified (for example, controlled to non-AT), the player operates according to the recommended operation procedure. Can be derived. Further, the sub-comb that is derived when operated in the same non-corresponding operation procedure is the same regardless of which of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won. Therefore, regardless of which of the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is won, the same secondary combination is derived when operated by the recommended operation procedure which is a non-corresponding operation procedure. It is possible to prevent the player from determining which of the lottery object combination α or the lottery object combination β is won. In this case, the corresponding operation procedure for the lottery object combination α and the lottery object combination β is also different.

  As described above, if the non-corresponding operation procedure of both the lottery object combination α and the lottery object combination β includes, for example, a recommended operation procedure as a common operation procedure, the both non-corresponding operation procedures are completely the same. Even if it is not, it is possible to prevent the player from determining which one of the lottery object combination α or the lottery object combination β is won.

  In addition, when either of the lottery target role α or the lottery target role β is won, the same display result is derived only when operated in the recommended operation procedure, and either the corresponding operation procedure or the recommended operation procedure is selected. Different display results may be derived when an operation is performed with no operation procedure.

  In the present embodiment, the number of combinations of lottery object combinations having a predetermined relationship is “middle bell 1 and middle bell 5”, “middle bell 2 and middle bell 6”, “middle bell 3 and middle bell 7”, “Middle bell 4 and middle bell 8”, “right bell 1 and right bell 5”, “right bell 2 and right bell 6”, “right bell 3 and right bell 7”, “right bell 4 and right bell 8” Although described as eight sets, it is not limited to this. For example, the number of combinations of lottery object combinations having a predetermined relationship may be other than 8 or 1 set.

  In the present embodiment, the lottery target combination having a predetermined relationship is composed of two lottery target combinations α and β. For example, the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 constitute a set of lottery object combinations having a predetermined relationship. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a set of lottery target roles having a predetermined relationship may be configured by three or more lottery target roles. When a plurality of winning combinations are provided, the number of constituents of at least one corresponding lottery target among a plurality of lottery targets may be different from other corresponding lottery targets.

[Reel control]
Hereinafter, the lottery object combination having the predetermined relationship described in the present embodiment is also referred to as “corresponding lottery object role”. In the present embodiment, when one of the lottery object combination α or the lottery object combination β constituting the corresponding lottery object combination is won, and when operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure, the same stop control table is stored. The reel control is performed with reference to the above. However, if the player does not know which one of the lottery object combination α or the lottery object combination β is won based on the outcome derived when operated in the non-corresponding operation procedure, what reel control is performed. You may go.

  For example, when the lottery object combination α and the lottery object combination β are won, the reel control may be executed with reference to a stop control table corresponding to each lottery object combination. For example, the stop control table A is referred to when the lottery object combination α is operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure when the lottery object combination α is won, and the stop control table B is operated when the lottery object combination β is operated in a non-corresponding operation procedure. May be referred to. As a premise of the slot machine 1 of this modification, the corresponding operation procedure for the lottery target combination α and the lottery target combination β is set to the middle first stop, and the non-corresponding operation procedure is set to the first left stop and the first right stop. It is assumed that the left reel sub-combination symbol common to the lottery object combination α and the lottery object combination β is “bell”, and the symbol arrangement is as shown in FIG.

  In the slot machine 1 configured as described above, when the player is operated in the first left stop (non-corresponding operation procedure) at the timing when the symbol “Replay” of the left reel with the area number 16 is positioned on the winning line LN, If stop control table A is referenced, the bell of area number 17 is derived with a shift of one frame, and if stop control table B is referenced, the bell of area number 20 is derived with a shift of four frames. In other words, when the lottery target role α is won and when the lottery target role β is won, when the non-corresponding operation procedure is operated at the same timing, bells that are the same sub-role symbols are derived with different sliding symbols. Is done. Since the reel is rotating at high speed and it is difficult for a normal player to measure the number of sliding symbols, it is determined from the number of sliding symbols which one of the lottery targets α and β is won. It is very difficult to determine. Therefore, even if such reel control is performed, the player does not know which of the corresponding lottery object combinations is won.

  The following reel control may be performed. The secondary roles common to the lottery target role α and the lottery target role β are the secondary roles S1 and S2, and the non-corresponding operation procedure common to the lottery target role α and the lottery target role β is referred to as the non-corresponding operation procedure P. The relationship between the operating procedure of the slot machine 1 of the present modification and the secondary role derived by the reel control of the present modification is shown below. When the lottery object combination α is won, when the operation timing X and the non-corresponding operation procedure P are operated, the secondary combination S1 is derived. When the lottery object combination α is won, if the operation timing Y and the non-corresponding operation procedure P are operated, the secondary combination S2 is derived. When the lottery object combination β is won, when the operation timing X and the non-corresponding operation procedure P are operated, the secondary combination S2 is derived. When the lottery object combination β is won, if the operation timing Y and the non-corresponding operation procedure P are operated, the secondary combination S1 is derived.

  In addition to such a configuration, “a secondary role that is derived when the lottery target role α is won but is not derived when the lottery target role β is won” or “a lottery target β that is derived when the lottery target β is won but is a lottery target It is ensured that there is no secondary role that is not derived when the role α is won. Thereby, when winning the lottery target role α, the secondary role S1 or the secondary role S2 can be derived according to the operation timing, while even when winning the lottery target role β, the secondary role S1 or the secondary role S1 is determined. A combination S2 may be derived. Accordingly, when operated in the non-corresponding operation procedure P, the secondary role S1 or the secondary role S2 can be derived either when the lottery target role α is won or when the lottery target role β is won. The player does not determine which of the target combination α and the lottery target combination β has won.

[About AT lottery]
In the present embodiment, the condition for executing the AT lottery has been described as a condition that is established by winning the AT lottery combination shown in FIG. 24, but is not limited thereto. For example, the AT lottery combination may be another winning combination. The condition for executing the AT lottery may be a condition established when a predetermined combination wins. The condition for executing the AT lottery may be a condition established by generating a random number within a predetermined range by performing a random number lottery for each predetermined game. Furthermore, not only the navigation stock is given by winning the AT lottery, but the number of AT games may be given.

[Recommended operating procedure]
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navigation effect is the first left stop (forward push). However, other operation procedures may be recommended operation procedures.

  For example, an operation procedure that causes the first left stop when a specific symbol is positioned on the winning line may be a recommended operation procedure. When a specific symbol is operated at a timing at which it can be drawn on the winning line LN (for example, a timing located on the winning line LN), one of the small symbols is played at a higher rate than a symbol other than the specific symbol. A symbol that can be awarded. For example, the specific symbol may be a cherry with symbol number 10 among symbols arranged on the left reel 2L of FIG. When the player operates the cherry on the left reel at a timing at which the cherry can be drawn onto the winning line LN, it is possible to derive a symbol corresponding to the winning situation onto the winning line LN. For example, when the middle stage watermelon is won, reel control for stopping the “watermelon” of the symbol number 14 on the winning line LN is performed. When the middle cherries are won, reel control is performed to stop the “cherry” of the symbol number 10 on the winning line LN.

  In this way, by operating the cherry on the left reel at a timing at which it can be drawn onto the winning line LN, the symbols constituting the winning winning combination are stopped on the winning line LN according to the winning situation, As a result, it is possible to increase the ratio of winning a small role.

  That is, it is possible to derive at least the symbol constituting the winning winning combination out of all winning combinations to the left reel (so-called DDT hitting method or KKK hitting method). The specific symbol may be another symbol. For example, the BAR with symbol number 11 may be used.

  As described above, even when the recommended operating procedure is an operating procedure in which the first left stop is performed when the specific symbol is positioned on the winning line, the same effect as in the present embodiment can be obtained.

  In this embodiment, the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navigation is the first left stop (forward push), and the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of navigation effect is the notified corresponding operation procedure. I explained that there was. However, the recommended operation procedure may be another operation procedure as long as the gameability as designed can be realized. For example, the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navigation production may be the middle first stop or the right first stop. While the recommended operation procedure of the game at the time of the non-navi effect is the first left stop, the recommended operation procedure of the non-navigation effect game controlled during the specific period may be the first middle stop or the first right stop. Here, the specific period may be a period in which the AT winning probability is improved by being controlled.

[About withdrawal information]
In the present embodiment, as the payout information display mode, the recommended operation mode is a mode in which the medal payout number is updated and displayed in a count-up manner according to the medal payout, whereas the non-recommended operation mode Is a mode in which the number of medals paid out is displayed so as not to be updated. However, the non-recommended operation mode may be any mode as long as the recommended operation mode and the non-recommended operation mode are in a mode that makes it more difficult for the player to recognize the payout information than the recommended operation mode.

  For example, the recommended operation mode may be a mode in which an effect is applied to the payout information, while the non-recommended operation mode may be a mode in which no effect is applied to the payout information. The effect is, for example, displaying the payout information in a flashing manner or displaying the payout information in a flashing manner. The recommended operation mode is a mode in which the payout information is displayed in an opaque state, while the non-recommended operation mode is a mode in which the payout information is displayed in a transparent state. While the recommended operation mode is a mode in which payout information is displayed together with a predetermined character, the non-recommended operation mode may be a mode in which the predetermined character is not displayed. While the recommended operation mode is a mode that outputs a specific sound and displays payout information, the non-recommended operation mode is a mode that displays the payout information without outputting the specific sound. Good. Here, the specific sound is a predetermined music (BGM) or a sound for notifying the number of medals to be paid out (for example, a sound of “8 sheets!”).

  The notification of the payout information may be performed by other effect means (effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc.) without being displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 or displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. . The slot machine 1 is provided with three effect means, an effect effect LED 52, a speaker 53, and a 54 reel LED 55. The recommended operation mode is produced with N (N is an integer of 1 or more) production means and payout information is displayed, while the non-recommended operation mode is M (N is an integer of 0 or more) production means. At the same time, the payout information is displayed. However, N> M. In the non-recommended operation mode, as compared with the recommended operation mode, not only the number of rendering means for performing the rendering may be decreased, but the rendering effect in the recommended operation mode may be decreased. For example, when the production means is the speakers 53 and 54, the reduction in the production effect is to reduce the volume of the speaker in the non-recommended operation mode than in the recommended operation mode.

  In the present embodiment, the payout information is a message that can specify the medal payout number. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any information may be used as long as the information can specify the medal payout number. For example, the character etc. which can associate the medal payout number may be sufficient. The payout information may be notified by other effect means after the payout information is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 or the payout information is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. For example, a sound for notifying the number of medals (for example, a sound “8!”) May be output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  The display for displaying the payout information is not limited to the liquid crystal display 51 controlled by the sub-control unit 91 but may be a display controlled by the main control unit (hereinafter referred to as “main control display”). . The main control display is a 7-segment display such as a credit display 11 or a game auxiliary display 12. In the case of a configuration that displays payout information on the main control indicator, it is necessary to display payout information in a recommended operation mode or a non-recommended operation mode. It is necessary for the main control unit 41 to specify whether the operation has been performed according to the operation procedure. However, the main control unit 41 cannot specify whether the game being played is a game at the time of a navigation effect or a game at the time of a non-navigation effect. It is impossible to determine which of the recommended operating procedures is used.

  Hereinafter, an example of a method for specifying which game the main control unit 41 is a navigation effect game or a non-navigation effect game will be described. The ROM 41b of the main control unit 41 stores correspondence information (table) in which one or more AT determination operation procedures are associated with a predetermined winning situation (including a loss). After performing the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 performs one AT determination operation from one or more AT determination operation procedures associated with the predetermined winning situation when the lottery result is a predetermined winning situation. An operation procedure is determined, and an operation procedure command that can identify the one AT determination operation procedure is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. When the sub-control unit 91 is a navigation effect game (for example, during an AT), the sub-control unit 91 notifies one AT determination operation procedure specified from the transmitted operation procedure command. The main control unit 41 counts the number of specific games operated in the notified one AT determination operation procedure (that is, the AT determination operation procedure determined by the main control unit 41). When the main control unit 41 determines that the count result of the specific game number has reached a predetermined number, the main control unit 41 determines that the reached game is a game at the time of the navigation effect. The predetermined number may be 1 or a value of 2 or more.

  By using such a method, the main control unit 41 can specify which of the navigation effect game and the non-navigation effect game is the third stopped game, so that the game has the recommended operation procedure and the non-operation procedure. You can also identify which of the recommended operating procedures was used. The main control unit 41 can display the payout information on the main control indicator in any one of the recommended operation mode and the non-recommended operation mode.

  By the way, generally, the player does not look at the 7-segment main control indicator so much and tends to look at the liquid crystal display 51 frequently. Therefore, the recommended operation mode may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the non-recommended operation mode may be displayed on the 7-segment main control display. That is, when a winning is made as a result of the operation in the recommended operation procedure, the payout information is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, so that the payout information can be easily recognized. As a result of the operation in the non-recommended operation procedure, When winning, the payout information can be made difficult to recognize by displaying the payout information on the 7-segment main control display.

[About winning notification process]
In the present embodiment, the winning notification process is a process of turning on the reel LED 55 corresponding to the symbol constituting the winning combination and outputting a predetermined sound. However, the winning notification process may be performed as long as the player can recognize the winning. For example, the winning notification process may be a process of notifying the player that a prize has been won by displaying a predetermined character on the liquid crystal display 51. The predetermined character may be a character reminiscent of a winning combination. The winning notification process executes at least one of a process for lighting the reel LED 55, a process for outputting a predetermined sound, a process for displaying a predetermined character on the liquid crystal display 51, and a process for lighting the effect LED. You may do.

  In the present embodiment, when a non-recommended operation procedure is used, the winning notification process is not executed. However, when operated in a non-recommended operation procedure, a specific process different from the winning notification process may be executed. Here, the specific process may be a process of actively notifying the player that the operation has been performed according to the non-recommended operation procedure. The specific process in this case is, for example, to display on the liquid crystal display 51 a character reminiscent of being operated in a non-recommended operation procedure, for example, a negative character (for example, a character such as a skull). Good. A sound reminiscent of being operated in a non-recommended operation procedure, that is, a negative sound (for example, a sound such as “boo”) may be output from the speakers 53 and 54. By executing such a specific process, it is possible to positively recognize for the player that the operation has been performed according to the non-recommended operation procedure.

  The specific process may be a process in which the player is less likely to recognize the winning than the winning notification process. For example, if the winning notification process includes a process of turning on the reel LED 55, the specifying process may be a process of turning on the reel LED 55 with a light emission amount lower than that of the winning notification process. If the winning notification process includes a process of outputting a predetermined sound from the speakers 53 and 54, the specifying process may be a process of outputting a predetermined sound by lowering the sound level than the winning notification process.

  In the present embodiment, the winning effect related process and the winning notification process have been described by exemplifying the game won in the push order bell. However, even in a game that is won in the push order lip, the winning effect related process and the winning notification process may be executed. In this case, in S520 of FIG. 28, the winning combination when operated in the recommended operation procedure in the game won in the push order lip (for example, promoted replay 1 when replay GR3 is won during AT, during non-AT For the replay GR3, the winning determination may be made for the normal replay). Furthermore, a winning effect related process and a winning notification process may be executed for a game that has won all the winning combinations.

  The winning notification process may be different depending on the type of winning. For example, when the middle bell wins, a message such as “middle bell win!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, while when “promotion replay 1” wins, a message such as “promotion replay win!” It is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As described above, by executing the winning notification process corresponding to the type of winning, the player can also recognize the type of winning in addition to winning as a result of being operated according to the recommended operation procedure.

  In the present embodiment, the determination processing in S520 and S590 in FIG. 28 has been described as determining whether or not a small role has been won. However, in the determination process in S104 or S118, it may be determined whether or not a re-game player or bonus is won. That is, in the determination process of S520 or S590, it may be determined whether any of all winning combinations has won. According to such a configuration, when a bonus operation is won as a result of operation in the recommended operation procedure, for example, a winning notification process is executed in S530, while in a bonus operation result in the non-recommended operation procedure. When winning, the winning notification process is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being impressed that a bonus has been generated as a result of the non-recommended operation procedure.

  When a bonus is won as a result of the operation in the non-recommended operation procedure, a winning notification process may be executed. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to notify the transition to the bonus state, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game. When a bonus is won as a result of the operation in the non-recommended operation procedure, a winning notification process may be executed. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to notify the transition to the bonus state, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  As a result of being operated in the non-recommended operation procedure, a winning notification process may be executed when winning a re-gamer. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to notify the player that the next game can be played without consuming medals, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  In the example of FIG. 29, the description has been given of the display results that are different depending on whether the operation is performed according to the recommended operation procedure or the non-recommended operation procedure. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least in some winning situations, the same display result may be derived when operated according to the recommended operation procedure and when operated according to the non-recommended operation procedure.

  In the present embodiment, a winning notification process is executed when a small combination or re-playing role is won, and the number of medals corresponding to the winning small role is paid out, or a medal based on the winning of the re-playing role It explained that the privilege that a next game could be played without consuming was granted. However, the target on which such notification processing is executed is not limited to the winning of a small role or a re-playing role, and the privilege may be other. For example, the target on which the notification process is executed may be derived from the predetermined display result. The predetermined display result may be an outlier display result. The predetermined display result may be a display result in which a privilege is given by being derived. The predetermined display result may be a display result in which a lottery for determining whether or not a privilege is granted is executed by being derived. A predetermined display result is good also as a display result with which a privilege may be provided by being derived | led-out.

  Regardless of whether a recommended operation procedure or non-recommended operation procedure is used, when a predetermined display result is derived, a privilege that allows the player to specify a privilege to be given corresponding to the derived display result It is good also as a structure which alert | reports information. In such a configuration, when a predetermined display result is derived as a result of operation in the recommended operation procedure, privilege information is notified in a recommended operation mode, and a result of operation in a non-recommended operation procedure is displayed as a predetermined display. When the result is derived, the privilege information may be notified in a non-recommended operation mode.

  When operated in the recommended operation mode, the privilege information is notified. On the other hand, when operated in the non-recommended operation mode, the privilege information may not be notified. Generally, a player desires to be notified of privilege information in order to recognize that a privilege has been granted when the privilege is granted. Therefore, according to such a structure, a player can be guide | induced so that it may be operated by the recommended operation procedure in which privilege information is alert | reported. Regardless of which of the recommended operation procedure and the non-recommended operation procedure is used, the privilege information may not be notified.

[About Penalty]
In the present embodiment, as the disadvantageous control that is disadvantageous for the player, a penalty lottery for determining whether or not to perform control during the penalty period is executed (S560 in FIG. 28). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of operations performed in a non-recommended operation procedure may be counted, and when the number reaches a predetermined number (for example, 5 times), the penalty period may be controlled. When the stop operation in the non-recommended operation procedure is performed once, it may be controlled in the penalty period. Any process may be used as long as it is controlled in the penalty period by a process related to an event operated in a non-recommended operation procedure.

  The penalty is controlled during the penalty period, so that even if the AT lottery condition is satisfied, the AT lottery is not performed. However, the penalty is not limited to this. For example, when controlled during the penalty period, the probability of winning in AT lottery may decrease, or the expected value of the number of Navistock to be granted may decrease. Any material can be used as long as it is covered.

  For example, the penalty may be such that the winning probability of a predetermined winning combination is reduced as compared to when no penalty is given. The penalty may be a decrease in the probability that the special performance is executed as compared to when the penalty is not given. The special effect is an effect that is executed when a privilege advantageous to the player is given. That is, the special effect is an effect that makes the player have a sense of expectation as to whether or not a privilege has been granted. The special effect is, for example, a freeze effect. During the period when the freeze is executed, the timing for enabling the game progress operation is forcibly delayed.

  In the present embodiment, when the navigation effect game is executed, when a non-recommended operation procedure is operated, a penalty lottery is executed, but the penalty lottery is not executed and the penalty period is not executed. You may make it not control. This is because, in the navigation effect game, a medal that is paid out when operated in the recommended operation procedure is executed, and disadvantageous control that is disadvantageous for the player is not performed when operated in the non-recommended operation procedure. This is because the disadvantageous control is executed without executing it.
