Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slot machine capable of improving taste of a game by attracting a player's attention to a type of a derived display result.SOLUTION: In a game in which a middle bell 1 having a high offer expectation value of a navigation stock is won, when a stop button is operated in a middle first stop, the slot machine is configured to win a main winning combination, however, when it is operated in a manner other than the middle first stop, to win a sub winning combination or derive a missed outcome. In a game in which a middle bell 5 having a low offer expectation value of the navigation stock is won, when it is operated in the middle first stop, the slot machine produces a win of a main winning combination, however, when it is operated in a manner other than the middle first stop, similar to the winning of the middle bell 1, produces the sub winning combination or derives a missed outcome. Further, even when any of the middle bell 1 and the middle bell 5 is won, if the main winning combination is missed, an AT signal counter is updated and an output of the AT signal is stopped on the basis of the updated result.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 26

Description

  The present invention is provided with a plurality of variable display units capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable, and after the variable display unit is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. In addition, the present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a winning according to a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display units.

  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. .

  These winning combinations include special roles with a transition to a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, small roles with the addition of gaming values such as medals, and replays that can be played without using gaming values. There is a re-playing role accompanied by a game. In general, these winning combinations can be won on the condition that an internal lottery performed simultaneously with the start operation is won.

  In such a slot machine, when a predetermined first small combination and a second small combination different from the predetermined first small combination were won simultaneously, the stop switch could be operated in a predetermined operation procedure. A slot machine from which a display result for winning the first small role is derived while a display result for winning the second small role instead of the first small role is derived when the display result for winning the first small role is not possible. (See Patent Document 1).

A pre-determining means (for example, an internal lottery process by the main control unit 41) for determining whether or not to allow each type of display result to be derived;
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player to derive the display result;
Derivation control means (for example, reel rotation processing by the main control section 41) that performs control for deriving the display result to each of the plurality of variable display sections according to the determination result of the prior determination means and the operation performed by the derivation operation means. )
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) (for example, two or more reels rotate) And the determination result of the prior determination means is a first specific determination result (for example, 1 to 4 wins in the middle bell) that determines that the derivation of the first display result is permitted. Further, a predetermined operation procedure (for example, a middle operation) in which the derivation operation means corresponding to the predetermined variable display part among the non-derivation variable display parts is operated before the derivation operation means corresponding to the other non-derivation variable display parts. When the derivation operation means is operated in the first stop), control for deriving the first display result is performed, while in a specific operation procedure other than the predetermined operation procedure (for example, first left stop, first right stop) The derivation operation means is operated by Been when performs control to derive the specific display results of the different display results and the second display results with the first display result (e.g., secondary role, migration outcome, symbol combination of loss)
In the specific situation, when the determination result of the pre-determining means is a second specific determination result that determines that the second display result is allowed to be derived (e.g., winning 5 to 8 in the middle bell), When the derivation operation means is operated in the predetermined operation procedure (for example, the middle first stop), control is performed to derive the second display result, while the specific operation procedure (for example, the first left stop, the first right operation) When the derivation operation means is operated in the (stop) mode, control for deriving the specific display result (for example, a secondary combination, a transition outcome, and a lost symbol combination) is performed.
The slot machine is
The determination result of the pre-determining means is the first specific determination result (for example, winning the middle bell 1 to 4), and the specific display result (for example, a combination of the secondary role, the transitional outcome, and the lost symbol) is derived. And the determination result of the pre-determining means is the second specific determination result (for example, winning the middle bell 5 to 8) and the specific display result (for example, the secondary combination, the transitional outcome, the lost symbol combination) ) Is derived, update means for updating specific information (for example, AT signal stop counter) (for example, the process of Sb10 in FIG. 28);

  According to such a configuration, when the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the first display result and the second display result is derived. Can improve the interest of In addition, in either case of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result, the specific display result is derived when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, so that the process of derivation control can be simplified. it can. Furthermore, the specific control is executed because the specific control is executed based on the specific information updated when the specific display result is derived in any of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result. The fact that the specific display result is derived as an opportunity can be used.

  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 “specific display result” includes both a display result in which a winning occurs and a display result in which no winning occurs (for example, a missed result). The “specific display result” may include a plurality of types of display results, and is specified when the determination result of the predetermination means is the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result. When operated by the operation procedure, one of a plurality of types of display results may be derived. That is, if the specific operation procedure is the same when the determination result of the predetermination means is the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result, the same specific display result is not necessarily derived. Even if the operation procedure is the same, a different display result may be derived as a specific display result from a plurality of types of display results.

  In the above (1) and (2), even if the “specific operation procedure” includes all operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure, any one of the operation procedures other than the predetermined operation procedure is performed. A procedure may be included.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
When the specific condition is satisfied (for example, during AT), the game is performed when the determination result of the prior determination unit is the first specific determination result and when the determination result is the second specific determination result. (For example, in the AT lottery reference table shown in FIG. 25 (b), the expected value of Navistock is higher when winning the middle bell 1-4 than when winning the middle bell 5-8. ).

  According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is satisfied, the player can be made to pay attention to which one of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. Can be improved.

  In the above (3), the “advantage” is an advantage provided by the main control unit such as an advantage related to the payout of medals, an advantage provided by the sub-control unit such as an advantage related to the navigation effect, and a privilege given by the server device. Any of the advantages provided by a device other than a gaming machine, such as an advantage relating to

(4) In the slot machines of (1) to (3) above,
When the derivation operation means is operated in an operation procedure other than the specific operation procedure (for example, middle first stop, right first stop) when the specific condition is not satisfied (for example, during non-AT), Further disadvantageous control means capable of performing disadvantageous control (penalty) disadvantageous to a player that is not performed when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure (for example, the first left stop). Prepare.

  According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is not satisfied, the player operates the derivation operation means in the specific operation procedure so that the disadvantageous control is not performed. Thereby, when the specific condition is not satisfied, the specific display result is derived by operating the deriving operation means in the specific operation procedure regardless of which of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result. Therefore, the player does not recognize which of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result is.

(5) In the slot machines of (1) to (4) above,
The derivation control means includes
In the specific situation, when the determination result of the predetermination means is the first specific determination result (for example, 1 to 4 wins in the middle bell), the predetermined variable of the underived variable display unit When the deriving operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure (for example, middle first stop) in which the deriving operation means corresponding to the display unit (for example, middle reel 2C) is first operated, the first display result (for example, Control to derive the middle bell symbol combination)
In the specific situation, when the determination result of the predetermination means is the second specific determination result (for example, winning the middle bell 5-8), the predetermined variable of the underived variable display portion The derivation operation means corresponding to the display section (for example, the middle reel 2C) is operated first, and then the derivation operation means corresponding to a specific variable display section (for example, the left reel 2L) different from the predetermined variable display section. When the deriving operation means is operated in a predetermined operating procedure (for example, middle left press), control is performed to derive the second display result (for example, a symbol combination of a downward-sloping bell).

  According to such a configuration, when it is the first specific determination result, the first display result is derived when the deriving operation means is operated by the predetermined operation procedure determined only by the first operation, whereas the second display result is derived. When the result is the specific determination result, the second display result is derived when the derivation operation means is operated by a predetermined operation procedure determined by the subsequent operation in addition to the first operation. Thereby, since the predetermined operation procedure differs depending on which of the first specific determination result and the second specific determination result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(6) In the slot machines of (1) to (5) above,
The first display result (for example, the middle bell symbol combination) is displayed on the specific line (for example, on the winning line LN) among the plurality of lines straddling the plurality of variable display portions. It is a display result from which specific identification information (for example, a symbol of a bell) is derived, and the second display result (for example, a symbol combination of a downward-sloping bell) is the specific line of the plurality of lines. This is a display result in which the specific identification information (for example, a bell symbol) is derived on a different line (for example, on the invalid line LM3).

  According to such a configuration, when the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure, attention is paid to the player as to whether the specific identification information is derived on the specific line or on a line different from the specific line. Can improve the interest of the game.

(7) In the slot machines of (1) to (6) above,
It further comprises delay control execution means (for example, processing for executing freeze by the main control unit 41) for executing delay control (for example, freeze) for delaying the progress of the game,
As the specific control, the specific control execution unit changes the execution probability of the delay control in the delay control execution unit based on the specific information (for example, timing t10 in FIG. 26, processing of Sb13 in FIG. 28).

  According to such a configuration, since the execution probability of the delay control changes based on the specific information updated when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(8) In the slot machines of (1) to (7) above,
It further comprises external output means (for example, external output processing by the main control unit 41) for outputting to the outside specific information (for example, an AT signal capable of specifying AT control) that can specify the gaming state,
As the specific control, the specific control execution unit changes the output mode of the specific information in the external output unit based on the specific information (for example, timing t10 in FIG. 26, processing of Sb12 in FIG. 28).

  According to such a configuration, since the output mode of the specific information changes based on the specific information updated when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, the game state can be recognized from the outside and the game can be enjoyed. Can be improved.

(9) In the slot machine of (8) above,
When the specific control execution unit changes the output mode of the specific information, the determination result of the prior determination unit is a special determination result (for example, normal replay winning), and a special operation procedure (for example, forward pressing) The first trigger (for example, timing t4 in FIG. 26) when the derivation operation means is operated in an operation procedure other than the above, and the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result (for example, middle bell). 1 to 4 winning) and the second specific determination result (for example, middle bell 5 to 8 winning), and when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure (for example, forward pressing) 2nd opportunity (for example, timing t10 of FIG. 26) is included,
The first opportunity is an opportunity that is more advantageous to the player than the second opportunity (for example, a normal replay wins at timing t4, whereas a sub-comb with one payout number wins and shifts out at timing t10) Eyes will be derived or lost)
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the special determination result, the slot machine notifies information (for example, an operation procedure other than forward pressing) that can specify the special operation procedure (for example, A sub-control unit 91 for executing a navigation effect).

  According to such a configuration, since there are a first opportunity and a second opportunity as an opportunity for the output mode of the specific information to change, the specific information is output at the first opportunity or the second opportunity according to the design content of the gaming machine. The output mode can be changed. Furthermore, since the first opportunity is an advantage that is more advantageous to the player than the second opportunity, if the first opportunity is used when changing the output mode of the specific information, the player is disadvantaged like the second opportunity. Can be avoided.

In addition, when a medal is inserted exceeding the maximum number out of the prescribed number corresponding to the gaming state, the amount is added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line that is set to determine whether the combination of symbols displayed on the see-through window 3 of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is a symbol combination such as a small combination or a re-playing combination. In the present embodiment, these combinations are also called “winning combination” or “winning combination”. A combination of symbols constituting any combination stops on the winning line, and a winning occurs. It is also called. For example, when the symbol combination constituting the re-gamer is derived on the winning line, a replay game in which the player can play the next game without setting the number of bets using medals is activated. Deriving the symbol combination constituting the re-game combination on the winning line is also referred to as occurrence of a re-game winning (replay winning).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, only the winning line LN set across the symbols arranged in the horizontal direction in the middle stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the middle stage of the reel 2R, that is, the middle stage, is the winning line. It is defined as. In the present embodiment, only one pay line is applied, but a plurality of pay lines may be applied.

  In the present embodiment, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are set apart from the winning line LN in order to make it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the winning line is aligned on the winning line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are not determined for winning based on a combination of symbols aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. When a combination of symbols constituting a specific winning line is arranged on the winning line LN, a combination of symbols (for example, bell-bell-bell) that is awarded when the winning line LN is aligned with any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. ) Are arranged so that it is easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting a specific prize is arranged on the winning line LN.

In the case of a stop, a winning will occur. When a prize is generated, a predetermined number of credits are added according to the prize. When the credit reaches the upper limit (50 in the present embodiment), medals are paid out from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 2). When the combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the gaming state is stopped on the winning line LN, the gaming state is shifted according to the combination of symbols.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration using three reels is illustrated, but a configuration using only one reel, a configuration using two reels, a configuration using four or more reels may be used. In a configuration using two or more reels, a winning determination may be made based on a combination of display results derived for all two or more reels. In this embodiment, the variable display device is configured with physical reels, but the variable display device may be configured with an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated and the symbols start to change, any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated.

A switch detection signal is input.

  On the game control board 40, the credit indicator 11, the game auxiliary indicator 12, 1-3 BET LEDs 14-16, the insertion request LED 17, the start valid LED 18, the waiting LED 19, the replaying LED 20, the BET switch valid LED 21, the left, middle, right Stop valid LEDs 22L, 22C, 22R, set value display 24, flow path switching solenoid 30, reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are connected, and hopper motor 34b is connected via power supply board 101. 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. Sub CPU91a receives the command transmitted from game control board 40, performs various control for performing an effect, and controls each part of the control circuit mounted in effect control board 90 directly or indirectly. .

  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, the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register, and the RAM abnormal error state is controlled to disable the progress of 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 after 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 special roles with a transition to a special gaming state advantageous to the player, small roles with payout of medals, and the next game without the use of medals by the player. There is a re-player who is set with the number of bets that can be made. A small role and a replay role are collectively referred to as a general role.

  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. The special combination winning flag is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. 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 freeze command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout to the sub control unit 91. A plurality of types of commands including an end command, a gaming state command, a standby command, a stop command, an error command, a return command, a setting command, a setting confirmation command, a door command, an operation detection command, and a determination winning combination 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 freeze command is a command that can specify whether or not the freeze is executed. The freeze command is transmitted when the freeze is executed. Freezing is control that delays the progress of a game for a predetermined time.

  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.

  In the present embodiment, since a signal can be transmitted only in one direction from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91, the main control unit 41 is information indicating an effect state by the control of the sub control unit 91, For example, a signal for specifying information such as whether or not it is controlled by the AT cannot be directly received from the sub-control unit 91. That is, the main control unit 41 cannot directly recognize the effect state such as AT controlled by the sub control unit 91. Therefore, in the present embodiment, among the plural types of combinations, a determination combination for specifying the effect state by the control of the sub control unit 91 is provided. The determination combination winning command is a command indicating that such a predetermined determination combination is won and the type of the determined determination combination. The determination combination winning command is stored in the command buffer and transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to win the determination combination.

  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 transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state.

  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.

  First, with reference to FIG. 5, the special combination of 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 of the winning combination will be described. For small roles, middle bell, right falling bell, upper bell 1-8, middle watermelon, right falling watermelon, upper watermelon, lower cherry, middle cherry, single role, right rising bell, right rising bevel, right rising rebebe included. 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. Wins and 8 medals are 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-game player among the winning combinations will be described. The replaying role includes normal replay, lower 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 some win is made, a game value is added, a game state is changed, or a control 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. In addition, it is also said that it is lost that the outlier 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.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the normal gaming state, it is controlled to one of RT0 to RT4. The RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is allocated with an area for storing a game state flag that can specify a game state and an area for storing an RT flag that can specify the type of RT. The gaming state flag is 4-bit data, “0000” indicates the normal gaming state, “0001” indicates the internal one, “0010” indicates the internal two, “0100” indicates the RB, “1100” indicates BB (RB). The RT flag is 4-bit data, “0000” indicates RT0, “0001” indicates RT1, “0010” indicates RT2, “0011” indicates RT3, and “0100” indicates RT4. .

  In the RAM 41c, an area capable of storing the number of remaining RT games is allocated for one byte together with the storage area of the RT flag, and the number of remaining games until the RT ends is stored. In the case of RT0, 3, and 4 that do not end when the number of games is exhausted, 0 is set as the RT remaining game number.

  In the present embodiment, as a lottery table in which the number of judgment values for the target combination is determined, a lottery table for internal one, a lottery table for internal two, a lottery table for RB, and a lottery for BB (RB) A table and a lottery table for a normal gaming state are provided. Further, a lottery table for RT0, a lottery table for RT1, a lottery table for RT2, a lottery table for RT3, and a lottery table for RT4 are provided as lottery tables for the normal gaming state.

  In the internal lottery process, the gaming state flag and the RT flag value stored in the RAM 41c are referred to specify the gaming state and the RT type, the lottery table is selected accordingly, and the selected lottery table is selected. A lottery is performed using. Thereby, the lottery subject according to the gaming state and the type of RT is drawn with the winning probability according to the gaming state and the type of RT.

  Normal / RT0 is shifted to when the promoted replay is won in normal / RT1 or when normal / RT1 or normal / RT2 is terminated by the use of the prescribed number of games. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to the normal / RT0, the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, or to the normal / RT2 by winning the special replay Or, the special role is won and the game is finished when it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside.

  Usually, the winning probability for special roles in RT0 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for replaying roles is high (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probability for small roles is normal (about 1 / 3.5) However, the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. A state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is high, such as RT0, is also referred to as a high RT state. In normal / RT0, only the replay GRs 11 to 16 and the replay GRs 21 to 25 among the replaying combinations are subject to the internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination. The total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR11 to 16 is about ½, of which the falling replay wins with a probability of 5/6 and moves to RT1, and the total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR21 to 25 is about ¼. .5, of which a special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and shifts to RT2, a fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and shifts to RT1, further, middle bell 1-8, right bell 1 The total of the winning probabilities of ˜8 is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 has the transitional outcome and the transition to RT1. For this reason, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into account, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 1.3 when the game is shifted to the normal RT0.

  The normal / RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at any of the normal / RT0, the normal / RT2, the normal / RT3, and the normal / RT4, or when the fall replay wins the normal / RT0. For normal / RT1, the RT remaining game number is subtracted for each game, and when the specified game number (1000G in this embodiment) is consumed and the RT remaining game number becomes 0, the normal / RT1 shifts to normal / RT0. Or, the special role is won and the game is finished when it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside.

  Normal / RT1 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is lower than normal / RT0 normal (approx. 1 / 7.3), small role win The probability is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) like RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In normal / RT1, only normal replays and replays GR1 to GR6 of the re-game players are targeted for internal lottery. The total of the winning probabilities of the replays GR1 to GR6 is about 1 / 8.7, of which the promoted replay wins with a probability of 1/6, and shifts to normal / RT0. For this reason, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) will be about 52 games when transitioning to normal / RT1.

  Normal / RT2 shifts when a special replay wins in normal / RT0 or normal / RT3. In normal / RT2, the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and when the predetermined number of games (30G in this embodiment) is consumed and the remaining RT game count becomes 0, the normal / RT2 shifts to normal / RT0. Or SP Replay wins and shifts to normal / RT3, or the transition roll stops and shifts to normal / RT1, or the special role is elected and ends when moving to internal 1 or internal 2 To do.

  The probability of winning a special role in normal / RT2 is normal (about 1/239), as in normal / RT0, and the probability of winning a re-game is almost the same as RT0, which is a high probability (about 1 / 1.4) (that is, high RT Status), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) as with RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more . In normal / RT2, only the normal replay and replay GR31 to 36 of the replaying combinations are subject to internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination. The total winning probability of replays GR31 to 36 is about 1/129, of which SP replay wins with a probability of 1/6 and shifts to normal / RT3, as well as middle bell 1-8, right bell 1-8 The total of the winning probabilities is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 is the probability that the transition will stop and the normal / RT1 transition will occur. For this reason, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into account, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 7.9 when the game is shifted to normal RT2.

  Normal / RT3 shifts when SP replay wins in normal / RT2. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to normal / RT3, normal / RT3 is special replay wins and shifts to normal / RT2 or the transition is stopped and shifts to normal / RT1 It ends when the winning combination wins and moves to the inside 1 or 2 inside.

  In normal / RT3, the winning probability of special role is normal (approximately 1/239), as in RT0, and the winning probability of re-playing role is almost the same as RT (0), which is high (approximately 1 / 1.4) , High RT state), the winning probability of a small role is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) as with RT0, and the medal payout rate per game is 1 That's it. Normally, in RT3, only the replay GRs 31 to 36 and the SP replay are subject to the internal lottery except for the case where the special combination is won at the same time. The total winning probability of replays GR31 to 36 is approximately 1 / 1.4, and a special replay wins with a probability of 2/3 of them. The total of 8 winning probabilities is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 probables and the transition is stopped to move to normal / RT1. For this reason, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into consideration, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 1.7 when the game is shifted to the normal RT3.

  Normal / RT4 shifts to the end of BB (RB) and RB. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to normal / RT4, normal / RT4 must either stop the transition and move to RT1 or win a special role and move to internal 1 or internal 2 End with.

  The winning probability for special roles in normal / RT4 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for re-playing roles is normal / normally lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability for small roles is normal / RT0 As usual, it is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In normal / RT4, except for the case where a special combination is won at the same time, only the normal replay among the re-playing combinations is subject to internal lottery. The total winning probability for middle bells 1-8 and right bells 1-8 is about 1 / 3.9, of which 2/3 × 3/4 will stop the transition and move to normal / RT1 . For this reason, if the special role with a low winning probability is not taken into account, the expected number of games (average number of games) is about 7.9 when the game is shifted to normal RT2.

  The inside 1 shifts when BB1, BB3, RB2 among the special roles are won in the normal gaming state. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, the inside 1 ends when the special combination that triggered the transition to the inside 1 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. In internal 1 the special role is not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of re-playing role is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, normal RT3, but higher than normal RT1, normal RT4 Probability (approx. 1 / 4.2), winning probability of small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medal payout rate per game is less than 1 It becomes. In the inside 1, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  The inside 2 shifts when BB2, BB4, RB1 among special roles are won in the normal gaming state. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, the inside 2 finishes when the special combination that triggers the transition to the inside 2 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. In internal 2, the special role is not eligible for internal lottery, and the winning probability of replaying is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, normal RT3, but normal RT1, normal RT4, internal 1 Higher probability (approx. 1 / 2.9), the winning probability of a small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medals are paid out per game. The rate is less than 1. In the inside 2, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins in 1 and 2 inside. RB ends when 6 games are consumed or 6 wins are won. In RB, the special role and re-playing role are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than the 1 and 2 in the normal gaming state, the internal probability is high (about 1 / 1.01), The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  BB (RB) shifts when BB wins inside. BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to BB (RB) exceeds the prescribed number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to BB (RB). In BB (RB), special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of a small role is higher than that of 1 and 2 in the normal gaming state, and high probability (about 1 / 1.00) The medal payout rate per game is 1 or more.

  Of the normal gaming state, 1, 2, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB (RB) are the most advantageous gaming states with the highest medal payout rate per game. RT0, 2 and 3 out of RT0 to 4 in the normal gaming state have a high probability that the re-gamer wins and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and RT4. This is a more advantageous state for the player. RT0, 2, and 3 in the normal gaming state both have a higher medal payout rate per game than RT1 and 4, but RT3 is the most expected to acquire the number of navigation stocks described below. This is a more advantageous state for the player than RTs 2 and 3. While there may be a direct transition from RT2 to RT3, there is no direct transition from RT0 to RT3, and in this respect RT2 is an advantageous state for the player over RT0.

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

[Lottery eligible role]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15, combinations of lottery object combinations that are read as lottery object combinations for each gaming state will be described. In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, “+” is written between winning winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read out in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 11 to 14, the lottery target 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.

  11 and 12 show combinations of special combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 13 shows combinations of small roles that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. FIG. 15 shows combinations of combinations that constitute the simultaneous winning combination shown in FIGS. 11 to 14.

  As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 14, the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the inside 1 (BB1, BB3, RB2 is elected), 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. 15, 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.

  Right bell 1 is middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 and right bell 2 is middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 and right bell. 3 is the middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 + 1, and right bell 4 is the middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1. The right bell 5 is the right falling bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5 + the upper bell 7, and the right bell 6 is the right falling bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 6 + the upper bell 8, The right bell 7 is a right falling bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 7 + 1, and the right bell 8 is a right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 8 + 1. It is a role.

  The middle bells 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as a middle bell, and the right bells 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as a right bell. Among these, the bells 1 to 8 and the right bells 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as push order bells.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Note that the replays GR1 to 6, the replays GR11 to 16, the replays GR21 to 25, and the replays GR31 to 36 are also collectively referred to as push order lips.

  Normal ・ RT0 to RT4, etc., weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one piece, normal replay, tumble replay, promotion replay, BB1 to BB4, RB1, or RB2 The number of SP replay judgment values is 1 for internal RT0 and 2 for internal RT0, which are read separately from the bonus, respectively, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece role, normal replay, Since it is added to Tumble Replay, Promotion Replay, and SP Replay, the winning probability for each of Strong Watermelon, Weak Cherry, Strong Cherry, Middle Cherry, Single Role, Normal Replay, Tumble Replay, Promotion Replay, and SP Replay is constant. 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. 16 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. 17 is a diagram for explaining 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. 18 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”. For example, 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”. For example, 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”. For example, the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and the right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 are missed by the transition bells and the missed bells. The middle bells 3, 4, 7, 8 and the right bell 3 The missed items 4, 7, and 8 are missed items.

  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, which is the leading role, is won when operated by the corresponding operation procedure, while the middle bell 5 8. In a game where one of the right bells 5 to 8 is won, the right-down bell as the leading role wins when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure. For this reason, a different leading role wins when one of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 is won and when one of the middle bells 5 to 8 and the right bell 5 to 8 is won.

  Of the push order bells, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 in which the middle bell can win a prize as the main role are referred to as first push order bells, and the middle bells 5 to 8 in which the lower right bell can win a prize as the main role. The right bells 5 to 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, different main characters win in the game won in the first push order bell and the game won in the second push order bell. Specifically, in the game won for the first push order bell, the middle bell with the bells on the pay line LN wins when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure, whereas the second push order bell In the winning game, the right-down bell with the bells on the invalid line LM3 wins when operated according to the corresponding operation procedure. For this reason, when operating according to the corresponding operating procedure, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the middle bell and the right-down bell wins, that is, on which line the bells are aligned. Interest can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the first push order bell is won in the AT lottery for determining whether or not to give the navi stock, the expected value for giving the navi stock is greater than when the second push order bell is won. Is high. For this reason, among the push order bells, the game won in the first push order bell has a higher player's advantage than the game won in the second push order bell. For this reason, a player can be made to pay attention to which of the first push order bell and the second push order bell is won, and the interest of the game can be improved.

[Game status transition status]
Here, the transition state of the gaming state will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, when RB or BB (RB) ends, the routine proceeds to normal RT4. In normal / RT4, the transition is stopped when the transition is stopped, and the transition to RT1 is made, and when the special combination is elected, the transition is made to the inside 1 or the inside 2 depending on the type of the special combination won.

  In normal / RT4, if any of the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6 or right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop. Therefore, any of the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and right bells 1, 2, 5, 6 will be elected in the normal / RT4 transitioned after the end of RB or BB (RB), and a small part will be won. If it is not possible, shift to normal RT1.

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

  In normal / RT1, replays GR1 to 6 are won, and the promotion replay wins when the stopping order is correct, so in normal / RT1, replays GR1 to 6 are elected, and the correct answer is in order of stopping to move to normal / RT0 Will be.

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

  Usually, the replays GR11 to 16 are won at RT0, the promotion replay wins when the stopping order is correct, and the fall replay wins when the answer is incorrect. In addition, when the replays GR21 to 25 are elected in normal / RT0 and the stop order is correct, the special replay is won, and if the answer is incorrect, the fall replay is won. In normal / RT0, if any of the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6 or right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transition may stop . For this reason, in normal / RT0, the replay GRs 21 to 25 are elected and the stop order is correct, so that the normal / RT2 is entered, and the replay GRs 11 to 16 are elected and the stop order is incorrect, or the middle bell 1 If any of 2, 5, 6, and right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 wins and the small combination cannot be won, the routine proceeds to normal RT1.

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

  In normal / RT2, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won, and the SP replay wins when the stop order is correct. In normal / RT2, if any of the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6 or right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome may stop. . For this reason, in normal / RT2, the replays GR31 to 36 are elected, and when the stopping order is correct, the routine proceeds to normal / RT3, and the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6, right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 If either of them wins and the small combination cannot be won, the routine will shift to RT1.

  In normal / RT3, when the special replay wins, it shifts to RT2, and when the outcome of the transition stops, it shifts to normal / RT1, and when the special role is elected, it is inside depending on the type of special role won. Move to 1 or 2 inside.

  In normal / RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are elected, the SP replay or the normal replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the special replay is won if the answer is incorrect. In addition, if the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6 or the right bell 1, 2, 5, 6 is elected in normal / RT3 and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops Can do. For this reason, in normal / RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are elected, and the stop order becomes incorrect, so the routine proceeds to normal / RT2, and the middle bell 1, 2, 5, 6, right bell 1, 2, 5, If any of 6 wins and the small role cannot be won, the routine will shift to RT1.

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

[Display results derived when winning the first push order bell or second push order bell]
With reference to FIG. 19, 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. 19, 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. 19, in the game in which the middle bell 1 is won, when it is operated in the corresponding operation procedure (medium first stop), 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. 19) 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, a main character (lower right bell) different from the main character of the middle bell 1 wins when operated in the corresponding operation procedure (medium first stop). When the middle bell 5 is elected, and when the operation is performed 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. 19, 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, different protagonists are used depending on whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is selected when the push order bell selected when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. In order to win, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the type of display result derived when operated by the corresponding operation procedure, and to improve the fun of the game.

  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. In addition, by sharing the stop control table used when the main role is missed, the reel control processing when the main role is missed can be simplified, and the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side can be reduced. it can.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 18, the corresponding operation procedure for the middle bell 1 to 4 and the corresponding operation procedure for the right bell 1 to 4 in which the middle bell as the main player wins are different (corresponding operation procedure for the middle bell 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. 18, 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 right-down bell as the leading role 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.

[About missing items]
Here, the missed appearance will be described. Push order bells can be used to derive both transitional and outliers when the main and secondary roles are missed, and outliers can be derived but transitional outcomes cannot be derived. There is a push order bell. In the following, when the main role and the secondary role are missed, the push order bell that can derive both the transitional outcome and the outlier is also referred to as the “transitional outcome derivable role”, and the primary role and the secondary role are missed. The pushing order bell that can be derived from the outliers but cannot be derived from the transitions is also referred to as a “unable to derive transitions”. In the present embodiment, the transitional outcome derivable roles are the middle bells 1, 2, 5, 6 and the right bells 1, 2, 5, 6. In addition, the role that cannot be transferred is the middle bell 3, 4, 7, 8, and the right bell 3, 4, 7, 8.

  The gaming state is shifted to RT1 by deriving the transition outcome in any of the states RT0, RT2, RT3, RT4, while the gaming state does not change even if the departure outcome is derived. Absent. Since the medal payout rate of RT1 is lower than the medal payout rates of RT0, 2 and 3, RT1 is in a gaming state that is more disadvantageous than RT0, 2 and 3. If the transition outcome is derived at either RT0, 2, 3 or the like, it is controlled to RT1, while the gaming state does not change even if the departure outcome is derived (does not transition from RT0, 2, 3 to RT1). Therefore, if a transition outcome is derived at any one of RT0, 2, 3, it is more disadvantageous for the player than if a departure outcome is derived.

  Further, when RT1 and RT4 are compared, RT4 cannot be controlled to RT0, 2, 3 having a higher medal payout rate than RT1 or RT4, while RT1 can be controlled to RT0, 2, 3. Therefore, it can be said that RT1 is a more advantageous gaming state than RT4. When the transition outcome is derived at RT4, the game state is not changed even if the departure outcome is derived (not transition from RT4 to RT1). Therefore, when the transition outcome is derived in RT4, it is more advantageous for the player than the outlier is derived. As described above, when the transition outcome is derived, there are cases where the event becomes an advantageous event and an adverse event depending on the gaming state.

[Reel control processing when pushing order bell wins]
With reference to FIG. 20, a reel control process performed by the main control unit 41 when a push order bell is won will be described. FIG. 20 is a flowchart conceptualizing the contents of the processing for explaining the reel control processing when the pressing order bell is won. In FIG. 20, 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]
Referring to FIGS. 21 to 24, the middle-ball 1 which is an example of a first push order bell that is a transition output derivable combination, or the transition output derivable combination that is an example of a first push order bell, and the second push order bell 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. 21 to 24 show the state after the main role is missed (that is, the processing after S50 in FIG. 20).

  Referring to FIG. 21, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won, when the right first stop, left second stop, and middle third stop are 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 performed on the left side, the “replay” that is the secondary role symbol is drawn onto the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (D), when the middle third stop is made at the secondary role drawing timing, 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 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. 21 (C), since the winning pushing order bell is the middle bell 1 and is a role that can be transferred, it is determined that when the third stop is made at the transfer output derivation timing, the transfer output is won. 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. 22, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won, when the right first stop, middle second stop, and left third stop are 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 right, the secondary role symbol (BAR in the example of FIG. 22 (A)) is led out to the winning line LN on the right reel 2R 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. When the second role is stopped at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, the upper bell is tempered.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (D), when the left third stop is made at the secondary role drawing timing, the replay as the secondary role symbol is drawn into the left reel 2L, and the secondary role appearance (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. 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.

  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. 23, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is elected, when left first stop, middle second stop, right 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. 23B, when the second stop is made, “orange”, which is the sub-combination symbol, is drawn onto the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (D), when the third stop on the right is made at the secondary role drawing timing, the secondary role symbol BAR is drawn into the right reel 2R, and the secondary role appearance (upper bell 2) wins. 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. 23 (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 performed 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.

  Referring to FIG. 24, when middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won, when left first stop, second right 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. 24 (A), when the first left stop is performed, the secondary role symbol (replay in the example of FIG. 24 (A)) is derived on the winning line LN to the left reel 2L regardless of the operation timing.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (B), when the second stop is made to the right, “BAR” as the sub-composition symbol is drawn onto the winning line LN. As shown in FIG. 24 (D), when the middle third stop is made at the secondary role drawing timing, the secondary role 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. 24 (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.

  In FIG. 21 to FIG. 24, even when the middle bell 1 is won or when the middle bell 5 is won, the same secondary role, transitional outcome, or disengagement when operated in the same non-corresponding operation procedure. 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 shown in FIGS. 21 to 24C, the outlier is derived without deriving the transition outcome. 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.

  21 to 24, the flow of the derivation result “when the middle bell 1 or middle bell 5 is won” or “when the 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 performed in the same way as when is won.

  In this way, when a winning order bell is won, when a corresponding operation procedure corresponding to the winning combination is operated, a main role such as a middle bell or a right-down bell wins, whereas an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure When an operation is performed, a secondary role such as an upper bell wins, or a missed place where a medal is not 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 wins as the main character when operated in the corresponding operation procedure, whereas when the second push order bell is won and operated in the corresponding operation procedure As the leading role, the right falling bell, which has a lower expected value of Navistock than the middle bell, wins the prize. 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 make the player pay attention to the type of main character that won the prize when operated by the corresponding operation procedure.

  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. 20, after the winning of the leading role is missed, depending on whether the third stop was performed at the timing of drawing in the secondary role symbol or at timing other than the timing of drawing in the secondary role, 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 (left, middle, and right operation procedures) 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 it is operated according to the recommended operation procedure, the player does not recognize whether the winning combination is the first push order bell or the second push order bell. For this reason, even in the case of winning the first push order bell, even if a main player with a high expected value of Navistock is missed, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling sorry, Can be prevented.

[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.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining an example of a table referred to in the AT lottery. During non-AT, AT lottery is executed using the table shown in FIG. During AT, AT lottery is executed using the table shown in FIG. At the end of BB, AT lottery is executed using the table shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (a), during non-AT, an AT lottery is performed when any of the weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, and SP replay is won, or when a freeze occurs.

  The expected value of Navistock that is given in one AT lottery when each condition is met during non-AT is 0.05 when weak cherry is won, 0.42 when strong cherry is won, and when middle cherry is won When the SP replay is won, it is 1.4, and when the freeze occurs, it is 0.5.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (b), during AT, as in the case of non-AT, AT is selected when one of the weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, and SP replay is won, or when freezing occurs. A lottery will be held. In addition to these, during AT, the first push order bell (middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4) and the second push order bell (middle bell 5-8, right bell 5-8) were won. Sometimes an AT lottery is held.

  The expected value of Navistock that is given in one AT lottery when each condition is satisfied during AT is 0.42 when winning a weak cherry, 1.4 when winning a strong cherry, The SP replay win is 2.2 and the freeze is 1.0.

  As described above, the AT lottery is performed when any of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, the middle cherry, and the SP replay is won, or when a freeze occurs, during AT and during non-AT. At that time, the expected value of Navistock is higher during AT than during non-AT. In addition, during the AT, since the AT lottery is performed even when the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, the AT lottery is executed more frequently than during the non-AT. For this reason, during the AT, in addition to the navigation effect being executed, the AT lottery is more advantageous than during the non-AT.

  Here, during AT, when the first push order bell is won, the expected value of navigation stock is 1.5, whereas when winning the second push order bell, the expected value of navigation stock is given. 0.7. In this way, when winning the first push order bell, the expected value of Navistock is higher than when winning the second push order bell, and for the player than the second push order bell It is more advantageous to win the first push order bell. For this reason, in the game won in either the first push order bell or the second push order bell, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the leading players wins, and to improve the interest of the game it can.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (c), at the end of BB, an AT lottery is performed when BB1 to BB3 are won and BB4 is won. The expected value of Navistock given in one AT lottery is 0.45 at the time of winning BB1 to 3, and 3.0 at the time of winning BB4.

  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 the AT and when it is controlled to the normal / RT0 by winning the promotion replay in the normal / RT1, or when the predetermined number of games has passed in the normal / RT0 or the normal / RT2, the navigation stock number is The start condition to the AT by 1 consumption (subtraction) is established. In this case, until the navigation effect of a predetermined number of games (50 games in the present embodiment) is executed, control is performed by the AT in the high RT state (RT0, RT2, RT3) where the winning probability of the re-gamer is high. Is done. Note that a high RT state and a state controlled by the AT are also referred to as an ART state. When the number of navigation stock is consumed, it is updated to the AT flag indicating the number of navigation stock subtracted by 1.

  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. Thereby, when it is normal / RT0, there is a higher possibility of falling replays and transition outcomes, and the possibility of being controlled to normal / RT1 is increased. Further, when it is normal / RT2, there is a higher possibility that the transition outcomes are aligned, and the possibility of being controlled to 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.

  Further, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the promotion of the replay winning, the promotion replay winning specially, the special replay winning, the SP replay winning, the bell winning, and the falling replay winning.

  In the present embodiment, when the winning navigation target role is a role that cannot be derived from the transition, when the navigation stock is acquired under the control of RT4, the navigation effect is executed, and the selected navigation target role is selected. The navigation effect is not executed when is a role capable of deriving a transition event.

  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.

[Change of AT signal output mode and freeze execution probability according to AT control]
In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 controls the AT only for the number of sets corresponding to the number of assigned navigation stocks. For example, in the AT lottery, when 1 navigation stock is awarded, only one set is controlled for the AT of one set of 50 games, and when three navigation stocks are awarded, only one set is controlled for the AT of one set of 50 games. The main control unit 41 cannot directly recognize that it has been controlled by the sub control unit 91 by the signal reception or the like. For this reason, the main control unit 41 provides a determination role for recognizing whether or not the AT is controlled, and when the determination role is won, the main control unit 41 uses a determination role winning command that can specify the type of the determination role. It transmits to the control part 91. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the determination winning combination command, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the player of the pressing order for prompting a predetermined operation depending on whether or not the AT is being performed. The main control unit 41 recognizes whether or not the AT is controlled based on the type of the winning combination for determination and the pressing order operated by the player, and changes the output mode of the AT signal and the freeze execution probability accordingly.

  Hereinafter, the output mode of the AT signal and the change in the freeze execution probability in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 shows an AT lottery executed during the AT, in which the navigation stock is initially assigned 1 in the non-ART state (for example, RT1 and the non-AT state where the winning probability of the re-gamer is low). 1 Navistock will be assigned to the 2nd set of ATs, and will continue to be controlled. In addition, 1 Navistock will be given at the AT lottery performed during the 2nd set of ATs and the 3rd set of ATs will be continued. An example of control is shown.

  During AT, when the push order lip is won, the sub-control unit 91 notifies an operation procedure for transitioning to an advantageous gaming state. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 26, after the AT is controlled at the timing t1, any one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won until the timing t2 when the first set AT starts. At this time, the sub-control unit 91 notifies an operation procedure for winning the promoted replay. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the promotion replay wins and the gaming state shifts from RT1 to RT0. Thereafter, one of the replays GR11 to 16 is won during the first set of ATs. At this time, an operation procedure for winning a special replay is notified by the sub-control unit 91. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, a special replay is won and the gaming state shifts from RT0 to RT2. Furthermore, after that, one of the replays GR21 to 25 is won. At this time, an operation procedure for winning the SP replay is notified by the sub-control unit 91. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, SP replay wins and the gaming state shifts from RT2 to RT3. In this way, when controlled by the AT, the gaming state shifts to the high RT state by the navigation effect executed by the sub-control unit 91, and enters the ART state.

  With reference to FIG. 26, changes in AT signal output mode and freeze execution probability will be described for each timing. First, when navigation stock is given in a non-ART state, the sub-control unit 91 controls the AT from timing t1. When controlled by the AT, a transition to the high RT state is made by the navigation effect when the winning order is won.

  At this time, the main control unit 41 does not recognize that it is controlled by the AT, and therefore does not output the AT signal to the outside. When the state is a high RT state and no AT signal is output, a push order bell is set as a determining role. When the push order bell, which is a judgment combination, is won at timing t2, the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 a judgment combination win command that can specify that the push order bell has been won. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the determination winning combination command, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the corresponding operation procedure for winning the leading role. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the leading role wins.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18, as long as it is operated by forward pressing, which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT, the leading role will not win when winning the pressing order bell. For this reason, when the main character wins, the main control unit 41 recognizes that it is controlled by the AT, and externally outputs an AT signal that can specify that the AT is in progress. Thereby, in the external device provided outside the slot machine 1, the player is notified that the first set is turned on, for example, the first lamp is turned on. Further, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of freeze from a low probability to a high probability.

  After that, when the navigation stock is added by the AT lottery executed during the first set AT, the sub-control unit 91 continues to the second set AT at timing t3 after the first set AT ends. And control.

  At this point in time, the main control unit 41 has not yet recognized that the first set of ATs has ended, so the AT signal output at the timing t2 remains externally output. When in the high RT state and the AT signal is output, the push order bell and the normal replay are set as the determination combination. When the normal replay that is a determination combination is won at timing t4, the main control unit 41 transmits a determination combination winning command that can specify that the normal replay has been won to the sub-control unit 91. In order to make the main control unit 41 recognize that the first set of ATs has ended, the sub-control unit 91 notifies an operation procedure other than forward pressing when receiving the determination winning combination command. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the normal replay wins.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the operation procedure other than the forward pressing when the normal replay is won only when the AT is once finished and the next AT is continuously controlled. For this reason, the main control unit 41 recognizes that the AT of the first set has ended when an operation other than forward pressing is performed when the normal replay is won and the normal replay wins, and the external output of the AT signal is performed. Once stopped, an AT continuation signal that can specify that the AT continues is output to the outside only for a predetermined period. Accordingly, the player is notified that the first set of ATs has ended, for example, by flashing the first lamp in an external device provided outside the slot machine 1. Further, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of freeze from a high probability to a low probability.

  After that, when the push order bell, which is a judgment use, is won at the timing t5 in which the RT signal is not output, the main control unit 41 can determine that the push order bell has been won. A service winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the determination winning combination command, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the corresponding operation procedure for winning the leading role. When the player operates according to the notified operation procedure, the leading role wins. When the main player wins, the main control unit 41 recognizes that it is controlled by the AT, and externally outputs an AT signal that can specify that the AT is in progress. As a result, in the external device provided outside the slot machine 1, the first lamp is turned off from blinking and the second lamp is turned on. The player is informed of this. Further, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of freeze from a low probability to a high probability.

  As described above, when the next set of ATs is continuously controlled, the AT signal is temporarily stopped to produce an effect on the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, notification that the next set of ATs is continued). ), The lighting mode of the lamp in the external device can be changed (for example, the second lamp is lit). For this reason, since the effect on the screen continued to the second set of AT and the notification by the lamp in the external device do not match, the inconvenience that the player is confused can be solved. In addition, the player can be made to accurately recognize the number of AT sets.

  At subsequent timings t6, t7, and t8, the AT signal output mode and the freeze execution probability change in the same manner as the timings t3, t4, and t5, respectively.

  At timing t9, the third set of ATs ends with the completion of the 50 games. This terminates ART.

  At this point in time, the main control unit 41 cannot recognize that the AT has ended, so the AT signal output at timing t8 remains externally output. When the push order bell, which is the judgment role, is won after timing t9 when the AT signal is output in the high RT state, the main control unit 41 can determine that the push order bell has been won. The winning combination command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. Since the AT has already ended, the sub-control unit 91 cannot execute the navigation effect and does not notify any operation procedure. As a result, the player operates with the forward push, which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT, and misses the main role (that is, whether the secondary role wins, the transitional outcome is derived, or is lost) Become). In the case of the example shown in FIG. 26, when the first push order bell is won after the timing t9, the secondary role is won by operating by the forward push, and when the push order bell is won the second time at the timing t10, It is operated by pushing, the transition outcome is derived, and the gaming state transitions from RT3 to RT1.

  When the main control unit 41 wins the push order bell and misses the main role winning twice in succession, the main control unit 41 recognizes that the AT has ended and stops the external output of the AT signal. Thereby, in the external device provided outside the slot machine 1, all the lamps are turned off and the player is notified that the AT has ended. Further, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of freeze from a high probability to a low probability.

[AT signal output processing, AT signal stop processing]
Next, specific control executed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28 regarding changes in the AT signal output mode and freeze execution probability shown in FIG.

  With reference to FIG. 27, the control executed by the main control unit 41 when outputting the AT signal will be described. First, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the current gaming state is a high RT state (RT0, RT2, or RT3) (Sa1). When the main control unit 41 determines that the state is not the high RT state (N in Sa1), the AT signal output process ends.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that it is in the high RT state (Y in Sa1), it determines whether or not the signal output flag indicating that the AT signal is being output is set (Sa2). When determining that the signal output flag is set (Y in Sa2), the main control unit 41 ends the AT signal output process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the signal output flag is not set (N in Sa2), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the game is won by the pressing order bell that is a determining role (Sa3). When the main control unit 41 determines that the determination combination is not won (N in Sa3), the AT signal output process ends.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the determination combination is won (Y in Sa3), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main combination has been won by operating according to the corresponding operation procedure (Sa4). Here, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the player of the corresponding operation procedure for winning the leading role if the AT state is established when the push order bell is won. For this reason, if the player operates according to the notified procedure, the leading role wins. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 does not notify any procedure if it is in the non-AT state when winning the push order bell. For this reason, as long as the player operates with the forward push, which is the recommended operation procedure during non-AT, the leading role is missed.

  When determining that the main character has not won a prize (N in Sa4), the main control unit 41 recognizes that it is in the non-AT state, and ends the AT signal output process.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the main role has won (Y in Sa4), the main control unit 41 recognizes that it is in the AT state and outputs an AT signal (Sa5). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of freeze from a low probability to a high probability (Sa6), sets a signal output flag (Sa7), and ends the AT signal output process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 28, the control executed by the main control unit 41 when stopping the AT signal will be described. First, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the current gaming state is a high RT state (any one of RT0, RT2, RT3) (Sb1). When the main control unit 41 determines that the high RT state is not reached (N in Sb1), the AT signal stop process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when determining that the high RT state is set (Y in Sb1), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a signal output flag indicating that the AT signal is being output is set (Sb2). When determining that the signal output flag has not been set (N in Sb2), the main control unit 41 ends the AT signal stop process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the signal output flag is set (Y in Sb2), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the game is a winning combination of the push order bell, which is a determination role, or normal replay ( Sb3). When the main control unit 41 determines that the determination combination is not won (N in Sb3), the AT signal output process ends.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the determination combination is won (Y in Sb3), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the game is a win for the push order bell as the determination combination (Sb4). When the main control unit 41 determines that the push order bell has not been won, that is, the normal replay has been won as a determination role (N in Sb4), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the normal replay has won other than the forward push. (Sb5).

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the normal replay has not been won other than forward pressing (N in Sb5), the main control unit 41 recognizes that the AT of the currently controlled set has not ended, and performs AT signal stop processing. finish.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the normal replay is won other than forward pressing (Y in Sa5), the AT of the currently controlled set ends and the control continues to the next set of ATs. It recognizes and stops outputting the AT signal and outputs the AT continuation signal to the outside (Sb6). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of freeze from a high probability to a low probability (Sa7), clears the signal output flag (Sa8), and ends the AT signal stop process.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines in Sb4 that the push order bell has been won (Y in Sb4), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the leading role has been missed by the forward push that is the recommended operation procedure (Sb9). Here, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the player of the corresponding operation procedure for winning the leading role if the AT state is established when the push order bell is won. For this reason, if the player operates according to the notified procedure, the leading role wins. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 does not notify any procedure if it is in the non-AT state when winning the push order bell. For this reason, since the player operates with the recommended operation procedure, the main player is missed.

  When the main control unit 41 determines that the leading role has been missed by forward pressing (Y in Sa9), the main control unit 41 adds 1 to the AT signal stop counter for counting that the leading role has been missed (Sb10). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the value of the AT signal stop counter has reached 2 (Sb11). When the main control unit 41 determines that the value of the AT signal stop counter has not yet reached 2 (N in Sa11), it ends the AT signal stop process.

  On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 determines that the value of the AT signal stop counter has reached 2 (Y in Sa11), the main control unit 41 recognizes that the AT has ended and stops outputting the AT signal (Sb12). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 changes the execution probability of the freeze from the high probability to the low probability (Sa13), and clears the signal output flag (Sa14).

  In addition, the main control unit 41 determines that the main role has not been missed by pressing forward, that is, when it is determined that the main role has won in the corresponding operation procedure (N in Sa9), or after Sb14, the value of the AT signal stop counter is set. Clear (Sb15), and the AT signal stop process is terminated.

  As described above, the first push order bells (middle bells 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4) that can win the middle bell as the main role, and the second push order bells (middle bell that can win the lower right bell as the main role). 5-8 and right bell 5-8), if the player is operated by the forward push, which is the recommended operating procedure during non-AT, the main role will be missed and the secondary role will be awarded Do you get out of the game? In addition, by sharing the stop control table used when the main role is missed, the reel control process when the main role is missed can be simplified, and the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side can be reduced. it can. Furthermore, the value of the AT signal stop counter that is updated when the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won and operated by a forward push that is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT. , The AT signal stops and the freeze execution probability changes from a high probability to a low probability. For this reason, it is possible to utilize the fact that the leading role has been missed as a trigger for a change in the output mode of the AT signal and a change in the freeze execution probability, which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT.

  Regardless of whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, it is based on the value of the AT signal stop counter that is updated when the push is operated by the forward push, which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT. Since the freeze execution probability changes, it is possible to make the player think that the freeze execution probability changes from a high probability to a low probability when the main character is missed. Thereby, a thrilled game can be enjoyed by a player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Regardless of whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, it is based on the value of the AT signal stop counter that is updated when the push is operated by the forward push, which is a recommended operation procedure during non-AT. Since the output mode of the AT signal changes, the end of the AT can be recognized from the outside, and the player can be made to think that the AT will end when the main character is lost. Thereby, a thrilled game can be enjoyed by a player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, when the AT signal is paused when continuously controlling to the next AT, the opportunity to win the normal replay other than the forward press when the normal replay is won is used, and the AT when the AT is completely terminated When the signal is stopped, an opportunity when the leading role is missed by the forward push which is the recommended operation procedure when the push order bell is won is used. In this way, as an opportunity to change the output mode of the AT signal, the opportunity to win a normal replay other than the forward press when winning the normal replay, and the forward operation that is the recommended operation procedure when winning the push order bell Since there is an opportunity when the main role is missed, the output mode of the AT signal can be changed at any one of the two occasions according to the design contents of the gaming machine.

  Further, when the AT signal is temporarily stopped when the next AT is continuously controlled, the normal replay is won and the net increase is not changed and the high RT state is maintained. On the other hand, when the AT signal is stopped when the AT is completely terminated, the number of net increase is reduced because the winning of the leading role is missed, and the high RT state is terminated if the transition outcome is derived. In other words, when the AT signal is temporarily stopped when the next AT is continuously controlled, the player is more advantageous than when the AT signal is stopped when the AT is completely terminated. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player from being in a disadvantageous situation even though the navigation stock still remains and is controlled continuously by the next AT.

[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. 29 shows the transition of the gaming state in the slot machine 1 having two RT states and 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 (challenge bonus) 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 leading role]
In the present embodiment, the medal payout number of the leading role is the same when winning the first push order bell and when winning the second push order bell. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The number of medals to be paid out for the leading role may be different between when the winning order bell is won and when the second pressing order bell is won.

  For example, the middle bell, which is the main character when winning the first push order bell, pays out 8 medals, whereas the right lowering bell, which is the main character when winning the second push order bell, is three. A medal may be paid out. Even in this way, the player can be pleased when the middle bell wins in the game in which the first push order bell is won.

  On the other hand, even when the right-down bell is won in the game won in the second pushing order bell, three medals that are the same as the number of medals that can be set for one game can be set. The net increase per game that the player acquires 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.

  Furthermore, the advantage at the time of winning the leading role may be different between the case where the first push order bell is won and the case where the second push order bell is won as follows.

  For example, a predetermined privilege (for example, execution of AT lottery, execution of privilege production, confirmation of granting of navigation stock, etc.) is given when the middle bell wins, and a predetermined privilege is not given when the right falling bell wins It may be. In the case of such a configuration, it is possible to give a 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.

  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, the first push order bell and the second push order bell may have the same leading role or different display results.

  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 may be aligned across three lines, whereas the main character of the second push order bell may be aligned across one line. 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 A role in which “bell-bell-bell” is aligned over one line may be used. In addition, 9 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 combination of winning combinations may be different between the first push order bell and the second push order bell. 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.

  In the present embodiment, the leading role of the first push order bell is a display result of three “bell” symbols on the winning line LN, whereas the leading role of the second push order bell is on the invalid line LM3. The result was a display of three “bell” symbols. As a result, the player was made aware of which main character won the prize. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, it may be a display result in which three different specific symbols are arranged on the same line in the main role of the first push order bell and the main role of the second push order bell. For example, the main character of the first push order bell is a display result of three “bell” symbols on the pay line LN, whereas the main character of the second push order bell is “orange” on the pay line LN. The display result may include three symbols. In this case, even if the protagonist of the first push order bell and the protagonist of the second push order bell are aligned on the same winning line LN, by confirming the design, any of the protagonists wins the player. Can be recognized.

  In addition, the display result may be a display in which three different specific symbols are arranged on different lines for the main role of the first push order bell and the main role of the second push order bell. For example, the main character of the first push order bell is a display result of three “bell” symbols on the winning line LN, whereas the main character of the second push order bell is “orange” on the invalid line LM3. The display result may include three symbols. In this way, in addition to confirming a line with a specific symbol, the player can also recognize which main character has won a prize by confirming the uniform symbol. it can.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, push order bells that correctly answer each of the middle first stop and the right first stop are provided. In other words, there was a push order bell that corrects when the middle reel is stopped for the first time and the leading role wins, and a push order bell that answers correctly when the first reel is stopped for the first time. . However, a first left stop, that is, a push order bell that is correct when the left reel is first stopped and the main character wins may be provided. In addition, the push order bell where the main character wins with the correct answer at the first left stop, the push order bell where the main character wins with the correct answer at the first middle stop, and the push order bell where the main character wins with the right first stop The same number of winning combinations may be provided, and the winning probabilities may be the same. In this way, the probability of winning the leading role can be made substantially the same regardless of the operation procedure throughout the game.

  In addition, as the first push order bell with high expected value of Navistock grant and high advantage, the push order bell with the correct answer at the middle 1st stop and the main character winning the prize, and the main answer with the right answer at the 1st stop right As the second push order bell, which has a low expected value for Navistock and has a low advantage, the push order bell that is the correct answer at the first stop on the left and the leading role wins, All of the push order bells that are correct at the middle first stop and the main character wins, and the push order bells that are correct and win the main character at the first right stop may be set. In this way, during the AT, in the game won the first push order bell, the leading role can win based on the navigation effect, and the player can recognize that the advantage is high. Can improve the interest of On the other hand, during non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed in the game won in the first push order bell, and the main character does not win, so the player does not recognize that the advantage is high. Thereby, the game can be sharpened.

  In addition, as the first push order bell, only the push order bell in which the main character wins the correct answer at the middle first stop and the push order bell in which the main character wins the correct answer at the first right stop are set. As the order bell, the push order bell that the correct answer is won at the first stop on the left and the leading role wins, the push order bell that is answered correctly at the first stop on the middle, and the leading role wins at the first stop on the right. After all of the push order bells are set, the probability that the main character wins may be substantially the same throughout the game, regardless of the operation procedure. That is, since the first push order bell is not provided with a right answer in the first left stop, the second first push order bell is left at a higher rate than the middle first stop and the right first stop. There may be a role in which is correct. In this way, the first push order bell can be used to improve the interest of the game with respect to the player's advantage, while the second push order bell can be used to some extent throughout the game. The payout rate can be maintained.

  In addition, for the first push order bell, if the first stop reel is correct, the leading role wins, whereas for the second push order bell, the correct answer is made up to the second stop reel in addition to the first stop reel. Otherwise, the main character may not win. For example, as the first push order bell, the push order bell that is correct when the first stop is left and the main character wins, the push order bell that is correct when the first stop is middle and the main character wins, and the correct answer is when the first stop is right In the second push order bell, the push order bell where the main character wins the correct answer by pushing forward, and the main character wins the answer with the pinch push. Push order bell, right push to push the correct answer with the middle left push, the push order bell to win the leading role with the middle right push, the push order bell to win the leading role with the right answer There may be provided an order bell and a push order bell in which the main character wins by correctly answering by reverse pressing. In this way, depending on whether the first push order bell or the second push order bell is won, the number of selection of corresponding operation procedures for winning the leading role is different, so that the interest of the game is improved. Can do. In addition, if you win the first push order bell, you can win the main role if you answer correctly from 3 choices, whereas if you win the 2nd push order bell, if you do not answer correctly from the 6 choices, the leading role Can not be won, and a difference can be provided between the first push order bell and the second push order bell.

[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. .

  In any case, when the push order bell is won, the part of the stop control table used when the main role is missed is shared in part or all, thereby simplifying the reel control process when the main role is missed. The storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side can be reduced.

[About AT control management]
In the present embodiment, the example in which the sub-control unit 91 executes determination and control related to AT as a period advantageous to the player has been described. More specifically, the sub-control unit 91, based on a command from the main control unit 91, an AT lottery that determines whether or not to control by the AT, and an AT advantage (for example, a game that can be controlled by the AT) The example in which the advantage lottery for determining the number) and the AT control for controlling to the AT based on the results of the AT lottery and the advantage lottery has been described.

  However, the determination and control related to the AT as an advantageous period may be executed only by the main control unit 41. As an example executed only by the main control unit 41, for example, the main control unit 41 performs an AT lottery and an advantage lottery, sets an AT flag for controlling to the AT based on the results, and sets the AT flag. In order to execute a navigation effect that can specify the operation procedure according to the result of the internal lottery, a navigation command that can specify the operation procedure may be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. And the sub-control part 91 may perform the navigation effect which can specify an operation procedure based on a navigation command.

  Note that the main control unit 41 is not limited to transmitting a navigation command that can specify an operation procedure, but includes a command that can specify an internal lottery result and a command that can specify that an AT is in progress. 91, the sub-control unit 91 may execute a navigation effect that can specify a predetermined operation procedure based on these received commands.

  Further, when the determination and control related to the AT as an advantageous period is executed only by the main control unit 41, notification means (for example, an effect effect LED corresponding to each reel) that can notify that the AT is in progress. Etc.) may be controlled by the main control unit 41. Further, it manages whether or not the main control unit 41 is in AT (determines whether or not the AT flag is set), and according to the result, the main control unit 41 indicates that it is in AT. The AT signal may be output externally.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 manages the determination and control related to the AT and changes the payout rate according to the situation, but only the main control unit 41 performs the determination and control related to the AT. It is also possible to manage and change the payout rate according to the situation.

  In addition, when the determination and control related to AT is managed only by the main control unit 41, the use capacity becomes enormous with respect to the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side. If the stop control table used when the main character is missed in the game is made common, the storage capacity on the main control unit 41 side can be reduced and the storage capacity can be secured even a little.

[Control when the main role is lost]
In the present embodiment, as shown at timing t10 in FIG. 26 and Sb12 and Sb13 in FIG. 28, in a game in which a push order bell is won during non-AT, it is operated according to a recommended operation procedure (forward push). Triggered by the fact that it was missed, the specific control is executed (the output of the AT signal is stopped and the freeze execution probability is changed).

  However, the execution of the specific control is not limited to the case where the main role is lost due to the operation by the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing). For example, in the case of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, there is no push order bell that the main character wins by forward push, and forward push is set as the recommended operation procedure during non-AT. . For this reason, in a game in which the push order bell is won during non-AT, if the player is operated according to the recommended operation procedure (forward push), the leading role will always be missed. Therefore, in the process of Sb9 of FIG. 28, it may be determined only whether or not an operation is performed according to the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing). Alternatively, in the process of Sb9 in FIG. 28, it may be determined only whether or not the leading role has been missed.

  Note that unlike the present embodiment, when a push order bell that wins the leading role with a forward push is provided, even in AT, when the push order bell that wins the leading role with a forward push is won, the navigation effect is achieved. It may be pushed forward based on this. In this case, it is not sufficient to determine only whether or not the operation has been performed according to the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing). Therefore, it is preferable to determine only whether or not the main role has been missed, or to determine both. In other words, specific control is executed when the leading role is missed in the game that wins the push order bell, or the main role is missed after being operated in the recommended operation procedure (forward push) in the game that wins the push order bell Sometimes it is preferable to perform specific control.

  In addition, unlike this embodiment, when the non-AT is not set to the recommended operating procedure during the non-AT, and if no penalty is imposed even if operated other than the normal push, it is said that the forward push during the non-AT Not exclusively. In this case, it is not sufficient to determine only whether or not the operation has been performed according to the recommended operation procedure (forward pressing). Therefore, it is preferable to determine only whether or not the main role has been missed, or to determine both. In other words, specific control is executed when the leading role is missed in the game that wins the push order bell, or the main role is missed after being operated in the recommended operation procedure (forward push) in the game that wins the push order bell Sometimes it is preferable to perform specific control.

  In the present embodiment, when the leading role is missed in the recommended operation procedure in the game won in the push order bell, the value of the AT signal stop counter is incremented by 1, and the specific control is performed when the value of the counter reaches 2 Was something to do. However, the specific control may be executed not only when the value of the AT signal stop counter reaches 2 but also when the value of the AT signal stop counter reaches a predetermined value of 3 or more. The specific control may be executed when the value of the stop counter reaches 1. In addition, in the case where the determination is performed once, it is not necessary to provide a counting counter such as an AT signal stop counter. For example, when it is determined that the leading role has been missed in the recommended operation procedure in the game won in the push order bell, a flag is set as specific information in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and specific control is executed on the condition that the flag is set. It may be a thing.

  Further, the specific control is not limited to stopping the output of the AT signal or changing the freeze execution probability as in the present embodiment, but may be other control. For example, as specific control, control for outputting an AT signal, control for executing freeze, control for increasing or decreasing the execution timing of freeze, control for executing a reel effect (for example, an effect of shaking the reel when the third reel is stopped), and For example, a control for operating a movable accessory device provided in the slot machine 1 may be used.

  Further, when the determination and control related to the AT are managed only by the main control unit 41, as the specific control, the lottery probability of the AT lottery is changed (for example, changed from high probability to low probability), and the screen related to AT is changed. Control (for example, changing from AT screen to non-AT screen), control for changing AT execution frequency (for example, changing from high execution frequency to low execution frequency), and changing the count value of the number of AT games ( For example, control such as setting the count value of the number of AT games to 0 or clearing the count may be used.

  Further, when the AT end timing is managed by the main control unit 41, freeze execution at the timing when the AT ends is set in advance at the start of the AT, and the protagonist is missed in the recommended operation procedure in the game winning the push order bell. The freeze that has been set may be executed.

  It should be noted that after the AT is finished, the freeze occurs in a period (for example, a period from timing t9 to timing t10 shown in FIG. 26) until the main control unit 41 recognizes the end of AT and stops outputting the AT signal. The execution probability may be higher than that during AT (super high probability). As a result, in the predetermined period after the AT is over, there is a high possibility that the navigation stock will be given by the AT lottery. Therefore, the AT may be revived and controlled, and the fun of the game can be improved. .

[Determination when the AT continues to control]
In this embodiment, as shown in timing t4 and timing t7 in FIG. 26 and Sb5 in FIG. 28, when the AT of the currently controlled set is terminated and the next set of ATs is continuously controlled, Normal replay was used as a judgment role. When the normal replay wins in a game won for normal replay other than forward pressing, the main control unit 41 stops the output of the AT signal and changes the freeze execution probability.

  However, the determination combination is not limited to the normal replay, and other replay combinations such as push order lip, and other small combinations such as push order bell may be used. For example, when a push order lip is used as a determination combination, if the main control unit 41 wins one of the replays GR31 to 36 in RT3, if the SP replay wins, the AT of the set currently being controlled is If it is determined that the AT does not end and the normal replay wins, it may be determined that the AT of the currently controlled set has ended. At this time, when the sub-control unit 91 wins one of the replays GR31 to 36 in RT3, if the AT of the currently controlled set is completed, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the operation procedure for winning the normal replay. Good.

  Further, in the determination when the AT of the currently controlled set is ended and the control is continued to the next set of ATs, the determination is the same as the determination based on the update of the AT signal stop counter when the AT is finally ended. Alternatively, the determination may be made based on a plurality of updates by the counter.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether to end the AT of the currently controlled set and continue control to the next set of ATs, but is not limited thereto. Absent. For example, in the set of ATs currently being controlled, if the AT shifts to a special AT on which the number of AT games and navigation stock are added, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT has shifted to the special AT. There may be. In this case, the main control unit 41 may newly output a special AT signal different from the AT signal when recognizing the transition to the special AT.

[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 the condition established by winning the AT lottery combination shown in FIG. 25 or by the occurrence of a freeze, 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.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the first push order bell (middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4) is won, the second push order bell (middle bell 5-8, right bell 5-8). ) Was advantageous in that the expected value for granting the navigation stock by one AT lottery was higher than that when winning, but this is not restrictive. For example, the AT lottery may be performed when the first push order bell is won, whereas the AT lottery may not be performed when the second push order bell is won. In addition, when winning the first push order bell, the freeze that triggers the AT lottery is executed (or freeze is executed with high probability), whereas when the second push order bell is won The freeze that triggers the AT lottery may not be executed (or the freeze is executed with a low probability).

[Recommended operating procedure]
In the present embodiment, the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of non-navigation production has been described as being forward pressing. 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 the present embodiment, it has been described that the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of the non-navi effect is forward pressing, and the recommended operation procedure in the game at the time of the navigation effect is the notified corresponding operation procedure. 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 Penalty]
In this embodiment, as a disadvantageous control that is disadvantageous for the player when operated once in the recommended operation procedure, an AT lottery for determining whether or not to provide navigation stock even if the AT lottery condition is satisfied. Explained not to be done. 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 the penalty control may be performed when the number reaches a predetermined number (for example, 5 times). Any process may be used as long as the process allows the penalty to be controlled by the process related to the event operated in the non-recommended operation procedure.

  Also, the penalty may be such that the winning probability in AT lottery decreases or the expected value of the number of Navistock granted is reduced, and if the player suffers a disadvantage, It may be.

  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 such that the probability that a special effect (for example, an effect accompanied by a freeze) is executed is reduced as compared to when no penalty is given.

[Relationship between first display result and second display result]
In the present embodiment, the symbol combination of the middle bell is illustrated as the “first display result”, and the symbol combination of the right-down bell is illustrated as the “second display result”. When the first display result is derived, it is more advantageous for the player than when the second display result is derived. However, the relationship between the first display result and the second display result is not limited to this.

  For example, the first display result may be the symbol combination of the right-down bell in the present embodiment, and the second display result may be the symbol combination of the middle bell in the present embodiment. Furthermore, when the second display result is derived, it may be more advantageous for the player than when the first display result is derived.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT lottery reference table shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the winning combination including the first display result in the winning combination (first push order bell) is won, the second display result is displayed. However, this is not a limitation, although the expected value of Navistock is higher than that of winning the winning combination (2nd push order bell). For example, in the AT lottery, when the winning combination including the second display result in the winning combination is won, the expected value of Navistock is higher than when the winning combination including the first display result is included in the winning combination. There may be.

  In the present embodiment, when the winning combination (first push order bell) including the first display result in the winning combination is won, if the correct answer is selected from the three choices, the leading role can be won. When winning the winning combination (second push order bell) including the second display result in the winning combination, the main character cannot be won unless the correct answer is selected from the six choices, but this is not restrictive. For example, when winning the winning combination that includes the second display result in the winning combination, if the correct answer is selected from the three choices, the leading role can be won, whereas the winning combination including the first display result in the winning combination is won. If you do, you may not be able to win the leading role unless you answer correctly from 6 options.

  As described above, the “first display result” and the “second display result” are advantageous in terms of the expected value of Navistock, the difficulty of winning the leading role, or the number of payouts and other benefits. It may be a display result, or any may be a disadvantageous display result.

Derivation operation means operated by the player to derive the display result;
Derivation control means for performing control for deriving a display result to each of the plurality of variable display units according to a determination result of the prior determination means and an operation performed by the derivation operation means,
The derivation control means includes
In a specific situation in which there are two or more underived variable display sections for which display results have not yet been derived and the predetermined variable display section is included in the underived variable display sections, the determination result of the prior determination means is the first determination result. The derivation operation means corresponding to the predetermined variable display part among the non-derivative variable display parts is changed to another non-derivative variable display part when the first specific determination result is determined to permit the derivation of the display result. When the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure operated before the corresponding derivation operation means, control is performed to derive the first display result, while the derivation is performed in a specific operation procedure other than the predetermined operation procedure. When the operation means is operated, a control is performed to derive a specific display result among display results different from the first display result and the second display result,
In the specific situation, when the determination result of the prior determination unit is a second specific determination result for determining that the derivation of the second display result is permitted, the derivation operation unit performs the predetermined operation procedure. When operated, control to derive the second display result is performed, while when the derivation operation means is operated in the specific operation procedure, control to derive the specific display result is performed,
The slot machine is
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result and the specific display result is derived, and when the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result and the specific display Updating means for updating the specific information when the result is derived;
A slot machine further comprising specific control execution means for executing specific control based on the specific information updated by the update means.
