Such a gaming machine is a player when a predetermined combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on a predetermined line (hereinafter referred to as “effective line”) among symbols displayed on the display window. A privilege (for example, a medal) is given to.

  In addition, such a gaming machine detects the operation of the start lever by the player, extracts a predetermined random number value based on the detection of the operation of the start lever, and extracts the extracted random number value for each winning combination. The winning combination is determined based on the winning combination determination table in which the lottery value is defined, and reel stop control is performed based on the determined winning combination and the stop button operation by the player. Here, depending on the determined winning combination, it may be permitted to display a plurality of symbol combinations on the active line among predetermined symbol combinations.

  At this time, when “losing” is determined as the winning combination, a combination of symbols that can receive a privilege is not displayed regardless of the operation of the stop button at any timing. In addition, if the stop button is not operated at an appropriate timing, the winning combination will not be displayed on the active line in combination with the winning combination, or if the stop button is operated at any timing, There is a winning combination in which such a combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the active line.

  In other words, if the winning combination is determined as a winning combination that does not stop and display the combination of symbols related to the winning combination unless the stop button is operated at the appropriate timing, the stop operation is performed at the appropriate timing. Since it is necessary to do this, the player is required to have a certain skill regarding the operation of the stop button.

  Further, in such a gaming machine, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in a normal state that is disadvantageous to the player, a state advantageous to the player compared to the normal state (hereinafter referred to as “specific state”). ”) Is performed. Here, the “specific state” is a bonus game in which a probability that a combination of symbols from which medals are paid out (hereinafter referred to as “a combination of symbols related to winning a prize”) is displayed on the active line is improved as compared to the normal state. (“RB (regular bonus)”, “BB (big bonus)”, “CB (challenge bonus)”, “MB (middle bonus)”, etc.) If the symbol combination is not displayed (or if the stop button is not operated in the appropriate order, the symbol combination related to the winning combination with the smaller number of medals will be displayed) In addition, “AT (assist time)” that informs the appropriate operation order of the stop button, etc., and operating the start lever without performing the medal insertion operation More re-game the player is started to improve the probability of being determined as the winning combination "RT (replay time)", AT and RT is activated at the same time there is a such as "ART (assisted replay time)". Therefore, the player plays a game while desiring to shift to a specific state advantageous to the player.

  In addition, in the gaming machine as described above, there is known a gaming machine that executes an effect suggesting a plurality of setting values having different probabilities of shifting to a specific state (for example, Patent Document 1). Such a gaming machine displays on the liquid crystal display device with different degrees of reliability of the effect suggesting the set value according to the timing at which the stop button operation by the player is detected. Thereby, since the notification that the player's interest is not diminished can be performed, the interest in the game can be improved.

Specifically, the set value suggesting effect determination table includes a lottery value corresponding to the first set value suggesting effect, a lottery value corresponding to the second set value suggesting effect, and a lottery value corresponding to the third set value suggesting effect. And a lottery value corresponding to the fourth set value suggesting effect, a lottery value corresponding to the fifth set value suggesting effect, a lottery value corresponding to the sixth set value suggesting effect, and a seventh set value suggesting effect. A lottery value and a lottery value corresponding to the eighth set value suggesting effect are defined for each set value.

  Here, the first set value suggesting effect, the second set value suggesting effect, the third set value suggesting effect, the fourth set value suggesting effect, the fifth set value suggesting effect, the sixth set value suggesting effect, and the seventh set value suggesting effect. The effect and the eighth set value suggesting effect will be described. The first set value suggesting effect, the second set value suggesting effect, the third set value suggesting effect, the fourth set value suggesting effect, the fifth set value suggesting effect, the sixth set value suggesting effect, and the seventh set value suggesting effect. , And the eighth set value suggesting effect are collectively referred to as “set value suggesting effect”.

(First setting value suggestion effect)
The first setting value suggestion effect is “4” when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “3”, and “5”, and when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “2”. In the case of "" and in the case of "6", it is an effect that can be easily determined. Specifically, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “3”, and “5”, the first setting value suggesting effect is executed with a probability of “2048/65536”. On the other hand, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “2”, “4”, and “6”, the first setting value suggesting effect is performed with a probability of “1024/65536”. It is decided to execute. Therefore, by executing the first setting value suggesting effect, the player is more likely to have the odd setting value of the gaming machine 1 than the odd setting value of the gaming machine 1. It will be suggested.

(Second setting value suggestion effect)
The second setting value suggestion effect is “3” when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “2”, “4”, and “6”, and when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”. In the case of "" and in the case of "5", it is an effect that can be easily determined. Specifically, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “2”, “4”, and “6”, the second setting value suggesting effect is executed with a probability of “2048/65536”. On the other hand, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “3”, and “5”, the second setting value suggestion effect is performed with a probability of “1024/65536”. It is decided to execute. Therefore, by executing the second setting value suggesting effect, it is possible for the player that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is more likely to be an even number than the possibility that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is an odd number. It will be suggested.

(Third set value suggestion effect)
The third setting value suggesting effect is an effect determined only when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “3”, and “5”. Specifically, when the set value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “3”, and “5”, the third set value suggesting effect is executed with a probability of “256/65536”. On the other hand, when the set value of the gaming machine 1 is “2”, “4”, and “6”, it is determined to execute the third set value suggesting effect. There is no. Therefore, by executing the third set value suggesting effect, the player is notified that the set value of the gaming machine 1 is an odd number.

  Note that the player can recognize that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is an odd number by executing the third setting value suggesting effect. On the other hand, when it is illegally acquired by a fraudster to execute the third setting value suggesting effect, information indicating that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is an odd number is indirectly acquired. For this reason, the third set value suggestion effect may not be defined in the set value suggestion effect determination table. Thereby, it can prevent acquiring the information which concerns on a setting value indirectly.

(4th setting value suggestion effect)
The fourth set value suggesting effect is an effect determined only when the set value of the gaming machine 1 is “2”, “4”, and “6”. Specifically, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “2”, “4”, and “6”, the fourth setting value suggesting effect is executed with a probability of “256/65536”. On the other hand, when the set value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “3”, and “5”, it is determined to execute the fourth set value suggesting effect. There is no. Therefore, by executing the fourth set value suggesting effect, the player is notified that the set value of the gaming machine 1 is an even number.

  In addition, the player can recognize that the set value of the gaming machine 1 is an even number by executing the fourth set value suggesting effect. On the other hand, if it is illegally acquired by the fraudster to execute the fourth setting value suggesting effect, information indicating that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is an even number is indirectly acquired. For this reason, the fourth set value suggestion effect may not be defined in the set value suggestion effect determination table. Thereby, it can prevent acquiring the information which concerns on a setting value indirectly.

(Fifth set value suggestion effect)
The fifth setting value suggestion effect is “2” when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “4”, “5”, and “6”, and when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”. In the case of "" and the case of "3", it is an effect that can be easily determined. Specifically, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “4”, “5”, and “6”, the fifth setting value suggesting effect is executed with a probability of “256/65536”. On the other hand, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “2”, and “3”, the fifth setting value suggesting effect is performed with a probability of “128/65536”. It is decided to execute. Therefore, by executing the fifth setting value suggesting effect, the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is set to a low setting (for example, when the setting value is “1”, the setting value is “2”, and the setting value is “3”). The setting value of the gaming machine 1 is set higher than the possibility (for example, when the setting value is “4”, when the setting value is “5”, and when the setting value is “6”). ) Is likely to be suggested to the player.

(6th set value suggestion effect)
The sixth set value suggesting effect is an effect that is more easily determined when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “6” than when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is other than “6”. Specifically, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “6”, it is determined to execute the sixth setting value suggesting effect with a probability of “256/65536”, while the setting value of the gaming machine 1 Is not “6”, it is determined to execute the sixth set value suggesting effect with a probability of “128/65536”. Therefore, by executing the sixth setting value suggesting effect, there is a possibility that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “6” rather than the possibility that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is other than “6”. Will be suggested to the player.

(Seventh set value suggestion effect)
The seventh setting value suggesting effect is an effect determined only when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “4”, “5”, and “6”. Specifically, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “4”, “5”, and “6”, the seventh setting value suggesting effect is executed with a probability of “64/65536”. On the other hand, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “1”, “2”, and “3”, it is determined to execute the seventh setting value suggesting effect. There is no. Therefore, by executing the seventh setting value suggesting effect, the player is notified that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is the high setting.

  By executing the seventh setting value suggesting effect, the player can recognize that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is a high setting, and therefore the seventh setting value suggesting effect is executed. Since the game is performed while wishing for the game, the interest in the game is improved. On the other hand, if the execution of the seventh setting value suggesting effect is illegally acquired by an unauthorized person, information indicating that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is a high setting is indirectly acquired. For this reason, the seventh set value suggestion effect may not be defined in the set value suggestion effect determination table. Thereby, it can prevent acquiring the information which concerns on a setting value indirectly.

(Eighth set value suggestion effect)
The eighth set value suggesting effect is an effect determined only when the set value of the gaming machine 1 is “6”. Specifically, when the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “6”, it is determined to execute the eighth setting value suggesting effect with a probability of “8/65536”, while the setting value of the gaming machine 1 Is not “6”, it is not determined to execute the eighth setting value suggesting effect. Therefore, by executing the eighth set value suggesting effect, the player is notified that the set value of the gaming machine 1 is “6”.

  By executing the eighth setting value suggesting effect, the player can recognize that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “6” which is the maximum value, and therefore the eighth setting value suggesting effect. Since the game is played while hoping to be executed, the interest in the game is improved. On the other hand, if it is illegally acquired by the fraudster to execute the eighth setting value suggestion effect, information indicating that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is “6” is indirectly acquired. . For this reason, the 8th set value suggestion effect does not need to be prescribed | regulated in the set value suggestion effect determination table. Thereby, it can prevent acquiring the information which concerns on a setting value indirectly.

Therefore, when the tenth setting value suggesting effect is performed, the setting value is most likely “5”, the setting value is “1”, and the setting value is “3”. It is reported that the possibility is the next highest, the possibility that the setting value is “2”, the possibility that the setting value is “4”, and the possibility that the setting value is “6”. Note that the tenth set value suggesting effect may be executed when the set value is “1”, when the set value is “3”, and when the set value is “5”.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 49C, an eleventh set value suggestion effect for displaying characters in the fourth set value suggestion effect display region 608 and the seventh set value suggestion effect display region 611 is executed. Thereby, while being able to recognize that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is an even number, it is recognized that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is more likely to be higher than the possibility of being low setting. be able to. Therefore, when the eleventh setting value suggestion effect is performed, the setting value is most likely “4” and the setting value is “6”, and the setting value is “2”. It is reported that the possibility is the next highest, the possibility that the setting value is “1”, the possibility that the setting value is “3”, and the possibility that the setting value is “5”. The eleventh set value suggesting effect may be executed when the set value is “2”, when the set value is “4”, and when the set value is “6”.

  Note that whether or not to execute the ninth setting value suggesting effect, the tenth set value suggesting effect, and the eleventh set value suggesting effect described with reference to FIG. 49 is the same as in the other setting value suggesting effects. Determined by. Here, the method for determining whether to execute the ninth set value suggesting effect, the tenth set value suggesting effect, and the eleventh set value suggesting effect can be set as appropriate. For example, a lottery value for each of the ninth set value suggestion effect, the tenth set value suggestion effect, and the eleventh set value suggestion effect is specified in the set value suggestion effect determination table provided in the main ROM 302 for lottery. Also good.

  In addition, a lottery for determining whether or not to execute all set value suggesting effects from the first set value suggesting effect to the eighth set value suggesting effect defined in the set value suggesting effect determining table provided in the main ROM 302 is performed. It is good also as performing and performing all the setting suggestion effects which were elected. Thereby, the setting value suggestion effect rich in variations can be executed. In this case, if it is determined to execute the first setting value suggesting effect informing that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is more likely to be an odd number than the possibility that the setting value is an even number, It is good also as not performing the lottery whether to perform the 2nd setting value suggestion effect which alert | reports that the possibility that the setting value of the machine 1 is an even number is higher than the possibility that it is an odd number. Thereby, by executing the first set value suggesting effect and the second set value suggesting effect, it is impossible to know whether the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is highly likely to be an odd number or highly likely to be an even number. The situation can be prevented.

(Other variations)
In the following, other modifications will be described.

(Setting value suggestion execution timing)
In this embodiment, the execution timing of the set value suggestion effect is the timing from when the start switch 10sw detects the operation of the start lever 10 until any of the left reel 18, the middle reel 19 and the right reel 20 stops. However, the execution timing of the setting value suggestion effect may be any timing. For example, it may be a timing when any of the left reel 18, the middle reel 19 and the right reel 20 is stopped, or may be a timing when all of the left reel 18, the middle reel 19 and the right reel 20 are stopped.

(Lottery conditions for setting value suggestion production)
In the present embodiment, the setting value suggestion effect lottery conditions include a set value suggestion effect determination table (see FIG. 16) provided in the main ROM 302 and a set value storage area provided in the main RAM 303 in the RB gaming state. Although the lottery is performed based on the value stored in, the lottery condition for the setting value suggesting effect may be any condition.

  For example, when a specific winning combination (for example, “watermelon”, “cherry”) is determined by the internal lottery process in the RB gaming state, the setting value suggestion effect determination table provided in the main ROM 302 and the main RAM 303 A lottery may be performed based on a value stored in a set value storage area provided.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the RB gaming state is based on the value stored in the gaming state storage area provided in the main RAM 303, and is set when the RB gaming state is set. Whether or not to execute the value suggesting effect is determined by lottery, but in the case of another gaming state, it may be determined whether or not to execute the set value indicating effect. Further, it is determined whether or not a predetermined state is based on a value stored in a state storage area provided in the main RAM 303 instead of a gaming state. It is good also as lottery whether or not to execute the production.

  In addition, a counting unit that counts the number of games played by the player may be provided, and the set value suggesting effect may be executed based on a predetermined number of games being counted by the counting unit. Specifically, the main CPU 301 performs a process of adding “1” to the counter value provided in the main RAM 303 based on the fact that the start switch 10 sw detects the operation of the start lever 10. The set value suggesting effect may be executed when the counter value that has been set reaches a predetermined value. As a result, the set value suggestion effect is executed by performing the predetermined number of games, so that the interest in the game is reduced due to the fact that the lottery whether or not to execute the set value suggestion effect continues to be unwinned. Can be prevented. The predetermined number of games referred to here may be determined by lottery.

  In addition, in the ART state game number addition lottery process, when it is determined to add a specific number of games, a set value suggestion effect may be executed. Thereby, in the ART state game number addition lottery process, a game is performed while desiring to add a specific number of games, so that the interest in the game is improved.

  Moreover, it is good also as performing a setting value suggestion effect based on the combination of a specific symbol being displayed on the effective line. Specifically, when the “push order bell” is determined by the internal lottery process, the “combination of symbols related to the fourth bell” is changed to the “lower right line”, “middle line”, and “upward line”. When displayed, the set value suggesting effect is executed. On the other hand, when “the combination of symbols relating to the fourth bell” is displayed in the “upper line”, the set value suggestion effect is not executed. In this case, the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified to the stop operation order display area 604.

  Thereby, when “push order bell” is won as the winning combination, whether or not the set value suggesting effect is executed according to the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13. Since it is decided, the interest for the player is improved.

(Setting value suggestion production command transmission method)
In the present embodiment, the information related to the setting value suggestion effect is transmitted to the sub-control board 400 by being included in the setting value suggestion effect command, but is not limited to this. For example, without transmitting the set value suggesting effect command, the command transmitted by the main control board 300 may be transmitted including information related to the set value suggesting effect.

  For example, information related to the set value suggestion effect may be included in the reel rotation start acceptance command, the conditional device command, the reel rotation start command, and the display determination command. As a result, there is no need to separately generate a set value suggesting effect command, so that the processing burden on the main control board 300 can be reduced. In this case, it is desirable to set and transmit information related to the setting value suggestion effect in an empty area of each command.

(Setting value suggestion type)
The number of set value suggesting effects may be singular or plural. For example, if the set value suggestion effect is singular, the set value suggestion effect command is transmitted separately if it is included in another command rather than including the information related to the set value suggestion effect in the set value suggestion effect command. If the unused area of another command is “1” bits, information relating to the setting value suggesting effect can be included.

  Thus, according to the present invention, the main CPU 301 stores the set value suggestion effect determination table (see FIG. 17) provided in the main ROM 302 and the main RAM 303 in the set value suggestion effect lottery process in step S110-4. Based on the information related to the set value stored in the set value storage area provided, it is determined whether or not to execute the set value suggesting effect that suggests the set value. Then, the main CPU 301 sets a set value suggestion effect command in the process of step S110-5, and sub-controls the set value suggestion effect command set in the process of step S110-5 in the control command transmission process of step S207. Processing to transmit to the substrate 400 is performed. And sub CPU401 performs the process which stores the information which concerns on the setting value suggestion effect contained in the setting value suggestion effect command by the game information storage process of step S302-2. And sub CPU401 determines a setting value suggestion effect based on the information which concerns on the setting value suggestion effect stored by the game information storage process of step S302-2 by the sub effect determination process of step S302-3-1. Process. Then, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for executing the setting value suggestion effect using the liquid crystal display device 31, the LED 32, and the speaker 33 via the effect control board 500. As a result, the sub control board 400 can execute the effect suggesting the set value without receiving the information related to the set value directly from the main control board 300, so that the fraudulent person transmits from the main control board 300. Even if a command to be obtained is illegally obtained, information relating to the set value cannot be obtained, so that an illegal act can be prevented. Moreover, since an effect suggesting the set value can be performed, the interest for the game is not lost.
