Description

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

  A slot machine generally has a plurality of (usually three) reels with a plurality of types of symbols as identification information drawn on the outer periphery. First, a bet number is set by a player's BET operation and specified. When a start operation is performed in a state where the number of bets is set, rotation of a plurality of reels is started, and rotation is stopped by operating a stop switch provided corresponding to each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination occurs when a predetermined winning symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a combination) is arranged on the winning line. To do.

  For these winning combinations, a special role (for example, a bonus) with a transition to a special gaming state advantageous to the player, a small role with a game value such as a medal, or a game without using the game value is used. There is a re-playing role with a re-playing grant that can be played. 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, based on the operation of the start switch, it is determined whether or not to win the special role, and the stop switch operating procedure is given to the player in order to generate a predetermined prize. Decided whether or not to grant Navistock as a right to be controlled at the assist time (Assist Time, hereinafter also referred to as AT) to be notified. There has been a slot machine that performs an effect of simultaneously informing the result of whether or not (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2013-094297 A

  However, in the above slot machine, since the presence / absence of a plurality of special benefits such as special roles and Navistock is notified at the same timing, the player can be expected only at one timing. It was not possible to maintain the player's expectation for the grant of Further, in the above slot machines, since there is no consideration on the difference in the advantage among the plurality of benefits, there is no consideration on the relationship between the benefit advantage and the notification timing of the presence / absence of the grant. I couldn't improve my interest.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is to maintain the player's expectation for the granting of a bonus and to determine the game It is to provide a slot machine that can improve interest.

(1) Provided with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each capable of being identified,
In the slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a winning result can be generated according to the display result after the variable display portion is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display portion.
Based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, winning the AT role and operating the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the AT role), the first privilege (for example, the right to AT control) Determination means (for example, main control) for determining whether or not to grant the second privilege (for example, CZ game or BB winning for CZ control). Part 41 AT lottery, CZ lottery, internal lottery),
First notification means (for example, notification of presence / absence of AT winning during the first production by the sub-control unit 91) for notifying the presence / absence of the first privilege at a first notification timing based on the determination by the determination means;
Based on the determination by the determination means, second notification means for notifying the presence / absence of the second privilege at the second notification timing (for example, notification of presence / absence of CZ winning during the second presentation by the sub-control unit 91, during the third presentation) Informing whether or not BB has been won)
The first privilege is a privilege that has a higher advantage than the second privilege (for example, during AT, the number of payouts is greater than during CZ or BB),
The first notification timing and the second notification timing are different timings (for example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the most advantageous first is before the BB winning and the CZ game is given or not). (For example, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the presence or absence of the BB winning and the CZ game is notified before the presence or absence of the most advantageous navigation stock.) )

  According to such a configuration, whether or not to grant the first privilege is determined and whether or not to grant the second privilege is determined based on the establishment of the predetermined condition. Since the first notification timing at which the presence / absence of information is notified is different from the second notification timing at which the presence / absence of the second privilege is notified, the player can be expected over a plurality of timings. The player's expectation for the can be maintained. Furthermore, since the 1st privilege is a privilege with a higher advantage than a 2nd privilege, it can gather a player's attention more with respect to a 1st alerting | reporting timing rather than a 2nd alerting | reporting timing, and the privilege's advantage and grant The interest of the game can be improved in relation to the presence / absence notification timing.

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The first notification timing is earlier than the second notification timing (for example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the advantage is highest first before the BB winning and the CZ game is given or not. The presence or absence of Navistock is informed).

  According to such a configuration, after the predetermined condition is satisfied, the presence / absence of the provision of the first privilege having a high advantage is notified first before the presence / absence of the second privilege. By making the player expect the grant of the first privilege having a high advantage, the player's expectation can be continuously improved, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The second notification timing is earlier than the first notification timing (for example, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the BB winning and the first are given before the presence or absence of the most advantageous navigation stock. The presence or absence of the CZ game is notified).

  According to such a configuration, after the predetermined condition is established, since the presence / absence of the second privilege is notified first before the presence / absence of the first privilege having a high degree of advantage, Even if the result that the second privilege is not granted is notified, the player can be expected to grant the first privilege that has a high advantage thereafter, and the player's expectation can be maintained.

(4) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (3) above,
The first notification means performs a first expectation effect that expects the grant of the first privilege, and then notifies the presence or absence of the first privilege as an effect result at the first notification timing (for example, whether or not an AT is won) Is notified after the first performance is executed)
The second notification means performs a second expectation effect that expects the second privilege to be granted, and then notifies the presence / absence of the second privilege as an effect result at the second notification timing (for example, presence or absence of CZ winning) Is notified after the second effect is executed, and the notification of the presence or absence of the BB winning is notified after the third effect is executed).
The number of games from the start timing of the first expected effect to the first notification timing is larger than the number of games from the start timing of the second expected effect to the first notification timing (for example, the first effect is 3 games). In contrast, the second effect and the third effect are two games).

  According to such a configuration, since the number of games expected by the player for the provision of the first privilege having a higher advantage than the provision of the second privilege is larger, the interest of the game can be improved. .

(5) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (4) above,
The second privilege is shifted to a state in which a probability that a condition for determining whether or not to grant the first privilege is increased, or a state in which a probability of being determined to give the first privilege by the determining unit is increased. (For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the number of AT roles that trigger AT lottery is greater in CZ than in non-CZ, and Navistock is expected to be granted in AT lottery. Value is high).

  According to such a configuration, when the second privilege is granted, the player can be further expected to grant the first privilege, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

(6) In the slot machine of any of (2), (4), and (5) above,
The first notification means performs a first expectation effect that expects the grant of the first privilege, and then notifies the presence or absence of the first privilege as an effect result at the first notification timing (for example, whether or not an AT is won) Is notified after the first performance is executed)
The first notification timing is a timing that arrives in a game in which the predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, notification of presence / absence of AT winning in a game that has won an AT role, as shown in a column of [Notification Timing] in the modified example) Is executed),
The contents of the first expected effect vary depending on whether or not the first privilege is given (for example, as shown in FIG. 20, the content of the first effect varies depending on whether or not the AT is won).

  According to such a configuration, since the player can be expected to pay attention to the provision of the first privilege even during a game in which the predetermined condition is satisfied, the player's expectation is continuously maintained in one game. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by improving it.

(7) In the slot machine of any of (3) to (5) above,
The second notification means performs a second expectation effect that expects the second privilege to be granted, and then notifies the presence / absence of the second privilege as an effect result at the second notification timing (for example, presence or absence of CZ winning) Is notified after the second effect is executed, and the notification of the presence or absence of the BB winning is notified after the third effect is executed).
The second notification timing is the arrival timing in the game in which the predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, as shown in the column of “Notification Timing” in the modified example, the notification of presence / absence of CZ winning in the game won for the CZ role) Is executed, and in the game won for the role of cherry or watermelon, notification of the presence or absence of BB is executed)
The content of the second expected effect varies depending on whether the second privilege is given or not (for example, as shown in FIG. 20, the content of the second effect varies depending on whether the CZ is won or not, The content of the third effect changes according to the presence or absence).

  According to such a configuration, since the player can be expected to pay attention to the provision of the second privilege even during a game in which the predetermined condition is established, the player's expectation is continuously maintained within one game. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by improving it.

  The inserted medal sensor 31 includes a plurality (for example, three) of sensors capable of detecting medals, and the medals inserted with the plurality of sensors can be detected in a predetermined order (in order from the upstream sensor). It is configured. The main control unit 41 detects that the detection results by the plurality of sensors are the detection results when the medals inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 are detected in a predetermined order (also referred to as appropriate detection results). It is determined that the inserted medal sensor 31 detects the inserted medal or the passage of the inserted medal.

  Further, on the inner side of the front door 1b, there is provided a stop switch 36a for selecting validity / invalidity of the stop function for controlling the stop state at the end of AT (Assist Time). The AT is a period during which a navigation effect is executed in which the player is notified of the operating procedure of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in order to generate a predetermined winning. The AT is controlled on the condition that it has Navistock as a right to AT control. The AT is controlled over a predetermined period based on the number of navigation stocks held. That is, the number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by the AT, and the more the number of navigation stocks is held, the longer it is controlled by the AT. In the present embodiment, each time one Navi stock is consumed, the AT is controlled until 400 or more medals are paid out. Further, the medal payout rate per game during AT is 1 or more. For this reason, it can be said that Navistock, which is the right to AT control, is a privilege advantageous for the player. The navigation stock is given when a winning is made in the AT lottery performed by the main control unit 41.

Inside the overflow tank 35, there is provided a full sensor 35a (see FIG. 4) made up of a pair of electrically conductive members spaced from each other and provided at a height capable of detecting a predetermined amount of stored medals. When the conductive member conducts electricity through contact with a medal stored in the overflow tank 35, the amount of medal stored in the inside exceeds a predetermined amount, that is, the overflow tank becomes full. Is detected.

  On the front surface of the power supply box 100, as shown in FIG. 4, it functions as a setting key switch 37 for switching to a setting change state or a setting confirmation state, and a reset switch for canceling an error state or a stop state in normal times. In the setting change state, the reset / setting switch 38 functioning as a setting switch for changing the set value of the winning probability (outtake rate) of the internal lottery, and the power switch 39 operated when the power is turned on / off. Is provided.

  The stop switch 36a, automatic settlement switch 36b, setting key switch 37, reset / setting switch 38, and power switch 39 in the housing 1a cannot be operated unless the front door 1b is opened by key operation. For this reason, those switches inside the housing 1a can be operated only by a game shop clerk and cannot be operated by the player.

  When a game is played in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 or a bet number is set using a credit. To use the credit, the MAXBET switch 6 may be operated. When a predetermined number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set, the winning line LN (see FIG. 1) becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, that is, the state where the game can be started. Become. In the present embodiment, three bets are defined as the prescribed number of bets, and when the prescribed number of bets is set, the pay line LN becomes valid. 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 replay 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 present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the invalid lines LM1 and 2L of the reel 2L, the upper stage of the reel 2C, the upper stage of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM1 and the reel 2L set across the symbols arranged in the horizontal direction on the upper stage. The lower stage, the lower stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM2 set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the lower stage, the upper stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, lower right There are four types of invalid lines LM3 set across straddling symbols: invalid line LM3, lower stage of reel 2L, middle stage of reel 2C, upper stage of reel 2R, that is, invalid line LM4 set across straddling symbols. It is defined as LM.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R continuously vary. When any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3.

  One game is completed when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a combination) on the winning line LN is displayed on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. 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 rotate and the symbols start to change, any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated. When this occurs, the rotation of the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R stops and the symbol is stopped and displayed. The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds).

  The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames is fluctuated, so a maximum of four symbols are drawn in 190 ms. be able to. In other words, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are four frames ahead of them, for a total of five symbols.

  For this reason, for example, when any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated and the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, from the symbol to four frames ahead Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, in either of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8R is operated, the symbol displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. The symbols arranged within 5 frames including can be displayed on the winning line.

A switch detection signal is input.

  The game control board 40 includes a credit indicator 11, a game auxiliary indicator 12, 1 to 3 BET LEDs 14 to 16, an insertion request LED 17, a start valid LED 18, a waiting LED 19, a replaying LED 20, a BET switch valid LED 21, left, middle, and 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), an effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and a reel LED 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 performs output control of effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LEDs 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LEDs 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 this embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are illustrated as the effect devices. 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. LED drive circuit 93, audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from speakers 53 and 54, reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to sub CPU 91a when power is turned on or when an initialization command from 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 has elapsed since activation. The RAM 91c is also initialized when neither a return command nor a setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned has been received even after elapse. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

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

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

  Initialization 0 is initialization that is performed at the time of startup when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are on when a RAM error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas of the RAM 41c are initialized. The Initialization 1 is an initialization performed before the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the reset / setting switch 38 is turned off at the time of start-up, and is shifted to the setting change state. In the initialization 1, the RAM 41c is used. Of the storage area, areas other than the important work and special work are initialized. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized. Initialization 3 is initialization that is performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In initialization 3, non-saved work, unused areas, and The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c.

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

[Internal lottery]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged on the activated 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 combination is permitted is determined before the display results of all 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), it is determined according to 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 judgment values for each 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 round with a period of 336 steps (0 to 335) are used as 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. For example, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel among the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is effectively detected, 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 the winning operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped within the maximum 4 frames drawing range on the winning line, 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 drawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned 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, 4 frames or less for all of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the drawing-in range of the piece, when the special combination and re-playing combination are elected at the same time, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 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 simultaneously with 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 is temporarily stopped due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reels on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected by continuing the rotation of the reels that are not.

  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. Multiple types including end command, gaming state command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, door command, operation detection command, navigation command, AT winning command, and CZ winning command Send a command.

  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 result of the internal lottery. 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 the operation of the start switch 7 and the result of the internal lottery 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 the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 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, 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 gaming 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.

  The navigation command is a command that can specify a corresponding operation procedure to be described later. The navigation command is transmitted when a winning combination to be described later is won during AT.

  The AT winning command is a command that can specify an AT lottery result. The AT lottery is a lottery for deciding whether or not to provide navigation stock that is a right to AT control, and is performed by the main control unit 41. When winning in the AT lottery, Navistock is given as a right to AT control. Note that winning in the AT lottery is also referred to as AT winning. The AT winning command is transmitted when an AT lottery is performed. By receiving the AT winning command, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the execution of the AT lottery and the result of the AT lottery (the result of whether or not the AT has been won).

  The CZ winning command is a command that can specify the result of the CZ lottery. The CZ (chance zone) is a state in which the execution probability of the AT lottery and the probability that it is determined that the navigation stock is given in the AT lottery are increased compared to the state where the control is not controlled by the CZ. The CZ is controlled on the condition that it has a CZ game that is a right to CZ control. For this reason, it can be said that the CZ game which is the right to CZ control is a privilege advantageous for the player. Note that CZ is a state in which the probability of granting Navistock increases, but does not directly affect the medal payout rate. For this reason, CZ is less advantageous than AT and BB with a payout rate of 1 or more. In other words, it can be said that Navistock and BB winning as a right to AT control are benefits that are more advantageous for the player than a CZ game as a right to CZ.

  The CZ lottery is a lottery for determining whether to give a CZ game, and is performed by the main control unit 41. When winning in the CZ lottery, a CZ game is given as a right to CZ control. Note that winning in the CZ lottery is also referred to as CZ winning. The CZ winning command is transmitted when the CZ lottery is performed. The sub-control unit 91 can specify the execution of the CZ lottery and the result of the CZ lottery (the result of whether or not the CZ was won) by receiving the CZ winning command.

[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, 54, the reel LED 55, etc. based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table The output control of various production devices is performed.

  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.

  For example, the sub-control unit 91 draws a first effect that makes it possible to expect the granting of the navigation stock based on the result of the AT lottery that can be specified from the AT winning command received from the main control unit 41. decide. And the sub-control part 91 alert | reports the provision presence or absence of a navigation stock as an effect result, after performing the determined 1st effect.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 draws a second effect that expects the CZ game to be given based on the result of the CZ lottery that can be specified from the CZ winning command received from the main control unit 41 by lottery. decide. And the sub-control part 91 alert | reports the presence or absence of provision of a CZ game as an effect result, after performing the determined 2nd effect.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 determines, by lottery, a third effect that expects BB winning based on whether or not BB winning is granted based on the result of the internal lottery that can be specified from the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41. . And the sub-control part 91 alert | reports the presence or absence of provision of BB as an effect result, after performing the determined 3rd effect.

[Winner]
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 one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1, the inside 2, and the bonus (RB, BB), and further the normal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the normal gaming state). Are also controlled to any one of RT0 to RT4.

  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 BB4, 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.

  Other special combinations are also awarded when the symbol combinations shown in FIG. 5 are complete, and the gaming state shifts to a bonus.

  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. Furthermore, the medal payout rate per game during BB is 1 or more. For this reason, it can be said that BB winning as a right to BB winning is a privilege advantageous for the player.

  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, and RB2 is won in the internal lottery, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated at an appropriate timing to enable winning of these roles, Never win a prize.

  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.

  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, control is made to any 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, RT3, and RT4 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. BB has a medal payout rate of 1 or more and 316 or more medal payouts are guaranteed, while AT has a medal payout rate of 1 or more and 400 or more. Payment of medals is guaranteed. For this reason, it can be said that Navistock, which is the right to AT control, is a privilege that is more advantageous for the player than the BB winning that is the right to BB control.

  RT0, RT2, and RT3 out of RT0 to RT4 in the normal gaming state have a high probability of winning a re-gamer, and RT1 and RT4 in that the medal payout rate per game is higher than RT1 and RT4. This is a more advantageous state for the player than RT4. RT0, RT2, and RT3 in the normal gaming state have a higher medal payout rate per game than RT1 and RT4. 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 RT4 in the normal gaming state have a low probability of winning the re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is lower than RT0, RT2 and RT3, compared to RT0, RT2 and RT3. 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, FIG. 12, and FIG. 15, “+” is written between 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. Hereinafter, the weak watermelon and the strong watermelon are collectively referred to as a watermelon role, and the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the middle cherry are collectively referred to as a cherry role. As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, in normal / RT0 to RT4, any watermelon combination and any cherry combination can be won simultaneously with any BB.

  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 bell 1 to RB bell 3 are won.

  For example, when RB bell 1 (right-up bell + right-up rebebe) is elected and operated in the first left stop, the combination of right-up bells in the elected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the middle first stop or the right first stop is operated, the control is performed so that the combination of the right rising rivets is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped.

  For other RB bells, as shown in FIG. 16, control is performed so that predetermined small roles are aligned and stopped within a maximum of four frames in the winning line according to the type of RB bell selected and the order of stop operation. Is done.

  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.

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

  As for other push order lips, as shown in FIG. 17, predetermined replay players are arranged on the winning line in a drawing range of a maximum of four frames according to the type of the push order lip selected and the stop operation order. Control to stop is performed.

  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.

  Further, 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.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, 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.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the SP replay, special replay, and normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less 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.

  For example, if 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 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, the transition start, or Control is performed to stop any combination of outliers in line with the winning line LN.

  As for other push order bells, as shown in FIG. 18, according to the type of the push order bell selected and the order of stop operation, predetermined small roles are arranged on the winning line and stopped within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. Control is performed.

  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 bell 1 to the middle bell 4 are elected, if the middle bell is operated in the first stop, the middle bell is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. When the middle bell 5 to the middle bell 8 are elected and are operated in the middle first stop, control is always performed so that the right lowering 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 bell 1 to the upper bell 8 are located at intervals of 5 frames or more on 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.

  Further, 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 bell 1 to the right bell 4 are elected and are operated in the first right stop, the middle bell is controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN regardless of the timing of the stop operation. When the right bell 5 to the right bell 8 are elected and are operated in the middle first stop, control is always performed so that the right falling 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 bell 1 to the upper bell 8 are located at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. For this reason, even when the right bell 1 to the right bell 8 are elected, when operated in the first left stop or the middle first stop, the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bell 1 to the upper bell 8 is obtained. If not operated at an appropriate timing, 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 bell 1 to the middle bell 8 is the middle first stop, and the corresponding operation procedure for the right bell 1 to the right bell 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 roles of middle bell 1 to middle bell 4 and right bell 1 to right bell 4 are “middle bells”, and the main characters of middle bell 5 to middle bell 8 and right bells 5 to right bell 8 are “lower right bells”. It is. The middle bell 1, middle bell 3, middle bell 5, and middle bell 7 are "upper bell 2, upper bell 3, upper bell 5, upper bell 8", middle bell 2, middle bell 4, middle bell 6 The secondary bells of the middle bell 8 are “upper bell 1, upper bell 4, upper bell 6, upper bell 7”, and right bell 1, right bell 3, right bell 5, and right bell 7 are secondary roles “upper bell. 1, upper bell 3, upper bell 5, upper bell 7 ", and right bell 2, right bell 4, right bell 6 and right bell 8 have secondary roles of" upper bell 2, upper bell 4, upper bell 6, upper Bell 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 bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 5, the middle bell 6, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, the right bell 5, and the right bell 6 are spilled out and out of the middle. The missed spots of the bell 3, the middle bell 4, the middle bell 7, the middle bell 8, the right bell 3, the right bell 4, the right bell 7 and the right bell 8 are missed eyes.

  Here, in the game where one of the middle bell 1 to the middle bell 4 or the right bell 1 to the right bell 4 is won, the middle bell which is the leading role wins when operated in the corresponding operation procedure. In a game in which any one of the middle bell 5 to the middle bell 8 and the right bell 5 to the right bell 8 is won, the right lowering bell as the leading role wins when operated by the corresponding operation procedure. For this reason, when winning one of the middle bell 1 to the middle bell 4, the right bell 1 to the right bell 4, and when winning either the middle bell 5 to the middle bell 8, right bell 5 to the right bell 8 A different leading role wins.

  Among the push order bells, the middle bell 1 to the middle bell 4 that can win the middle bell as the main role, and the right bell 1 to the right bell 4 are called the first push order bells, and the lower right bell can win the main role. Bell 5 to middle bell 8 and right bell 5 to right bell 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, a right-down bell with a bell aligned 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.

[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, one of the middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 is elected and a small role is awarded. In the case of failure to complete the transition, the transitional outcome is stopped. Therefore, the normal bell RT1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 5, the middle bell 6, and the right bell 1 in the normal RT 4 which has been migrated after the end of the RB or BB (RB). If any of the right bell 2, the right bell 5, and the right bell 6 is won and the small role cannot be won, the routine proceeds 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, replay GR1 to replay GR6 wins, and the promotion replay wins when the stopping order is correct, so in normal / RT1, replay GR1 to replay GR6 wins and normal / RT0 Will be transferred to.

  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.

  Normally, the replay GR11 to the replay GR16 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, the replay GR21 to the replay GR25 are elected in normal / RT0, the special replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won when the answer is incorrect. In normal / RT0, one of middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 is elected and a small part is awarded. If this is not possible, the transition may stop. For this reason, in normal / RT0, replay GR21 to replay GR25 are elected, and when the stop order is correct, the routine proceeds to normal / RT2, and replay GR11 to replay GR16 is elected and the stop order is incorrect. If Bell 1, Medium Bell 2, Medium Bell 5, Medium Bell 6, Right Bell 1, Right Bell 2, Right Bell 5, or Right Bell 6 is elected and the small role cannot be won. Normal / RT1 will be entered.

  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 GR31 to the replay GR36 are won, and the SP replay wins when the stop order is correct. In normal / RT2, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 are selected and a small part is awarded. If this is not possible, the transition may stop. Therefore, in normal / RT2, the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 are elected, and when the stopping order is correct, the routine proceeds to normal / RT3, and the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 5, the middle bell 6, and the right bell 1 If any of right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 wins and the small role cannot be won, the routine proceeds to normal 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 GR31 to the replay GR36 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. Also, in normal / RT3, one of middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6 is won and a small role is won. The transitional outcome may stop if it cannot be made. Therefore, in normal / RT3, the replay GR31 to the replay GR36 are elected, and the stop order becomes incorrect, so the routine proceeds to normal / RT2, and the middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right If any one of the bell 1, the right bell 2, the right bell 5, and the right bell 6 wins, and the small role cannot be won, the routine proceeds to RT1.

  In the inside 1 and the inside 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]
Next, display results derived when the first push order bell is won or the second push order bell is won will be described.

  For example, 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 the middle bell 1 is the same as the secondary role of the middle bell 5 "the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8", and the secondary roles 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”.

  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 sub-role or dropout as a clue, the advantage is 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 giving such a sense of regret 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 transition outcome derivable roles are middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 5, middle bell 6, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 5, and right bell 6. In addition, the role that cannot be transferred is the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the middle bell 7, and the middle bell 8, the right bell 3, the right bell 4, the right bell 7, and the right bell 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 RT1 medal payout rate is lower than RT0, RT2 and RT3 medal payout rates, RT1 is in a more disadvantageous gaming state than RT0, RT2 and RT3. When a transition outcome is derived in any of RT0, RT2, RT3, the game state is not changed even if a departure outcome is derived (no transition from RT0, RT2, RT3 to RT1). Therefore, if a transition outcome is derived at any one of RT0, RT2, RT3, it is more disadvantageous for the player than if a departure outcome is derived.

  When RT1 and RT4 are compared, RT4 cannot be controlled to RT0, RT2, and RT3, which have higher medal payout rates than RT1 and RT4, while RT1 can be controlled to RT0, RT2, and RT3. 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.

  When the middle bell 1 or the middle bell 5 which is the transitional-order derivable combination in the pushing order bells is elected, the main role output could not be derived because it was operated by an operation procedure other than the corresponding operation procedure. Even when the third stop is made at the sub-combination symbol pull-in timing, the sub-combination 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.

  Among the push order bells, 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 at the secondary role symbol drawing timing, the secondary role The outcome 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.

  As described above, when a winning order bell is won, when a corresponding operation procedure corresponding to the winning combination is operated, the main role such as a middle bell or a right-down bell wins, while operations other than the corresponding operation procedure are performed. When operated according to the procedure, a secondary role such as an upper bell wins, or a missed game where medals are 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 case where a transition outcome is derived and a case where a departure outcome having 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 player has lost the main role and the sub-role when the player is controlled by RT0, RT2, RT3, the transition event (RT0) is always disadvantageous to the player. , The outcome controlled by RT1 which is more disadvantageous than RT2 and RT3) is not necessarily derived, and there is a possibility that an outlier that does not change the gaming state (maintains the gaming state) is derived. As a result, even if a secondary role is missed when a winning combination is derived during the control of RT0, RT2, and RT3, the gaming state is prevented 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.

  After missing the leading role winning, depending on whether the third stop was made at the timing of drawing in the secondary role or at a timing other than the timing of drawing in the secondary role, the secondary role, the transitional outcome, or the departure One of the eyes 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 operation 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 execution 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.

[CZ lottery]
FIG. 19A is a diagram for explaining the CZ lottery table. The main control unit 41 determines whether or not to grant a CZ game as a right to CZ control by executing a CZ lottery based on the CZ lottery table. The CZ lottery is executed on the game that has won the CZ role under the condition that a predetermined CZ role has been won (it can be said that the start switch 7 for starting the game that has won the CZ role has been operated). Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, the CZ combination includes, for example, a cherry combination such as a weak cherry, a strong cherry, and a middle cherry, and a watermelon combination such as a weak watermelon and a strong watermelon. The expected value of the CZ game that is awarded in one CZ lottery when each role is won is 0.66 games when winning a weak watermelon, 1 game when winning a weak cherry, 1.95 games when winning a strong watermelon The strong cherry winning is 2.29 games, and the middle cherry winning is 3.3 games.

  In this embodiment, an example will be described in which a lottery for determining whether or not to grant a CZ game and a lottery for determining the number of CZ games to be given are performed in a single lottery. Absent. For example, in the CZ lottery, a lottery for determining whether or not to grant a CZ game is performed first, and a lottery for determining the number of CZ games to be given when it is decided to give the number of CZ games is performed twice. It may be configured by lottery.

[AT lottery]
FIG. 19B is a diagram for explaining the AT lottery table. The main control unit 41 determines whether or not to give the navigation stock as a right to the AT control by executing the AT lottery based on the AT lottery table. The AT lottery is executed with the game winning the AT role on condition that the AT role is won (it can be said that the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the AT role is operated). Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 19B (a), the AT combination in the non-CZ includes, for example, a cherry combination such as a weak cherry, a strong cherry, and a middle cherry, and a watermelon combination such as a weak watermelon and a strong watermelon. . The expected value of Navistock that is awarded in one AT lottery when each role is won is 0.1 for weak watermelon winning, 0.2 for weak cherry winning, 0.5 for strong watermelon winning, It is 0.59 when the strong cherry is won, and 0.85 when the middle cherry is won.

  As shown in (b) of FIG. 19 (B), the AT role in the CZ includes, for example, a cherry role such as a weak cherry, a strong cherry, and a middle cherry, and a watermelon role such as a weak watermelon and a strong watermelon, Furthermore, a normal replay and a one-piece combination are included. Thus, when controlled to CZ, compared to when not controlled to CZ, the number of AT roles that trigger AT lottery is large, and the execution probability of AT lottery is high. Thereby, when the CZ game is awarded, the player can be expected to give the navigation stock, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  Furthermore, as shown in (b) of FIG. 19 (B), the expected value of Navistock given in each AT lottery when each winning combination is 0.35 at the time of weak watermelon winning, 0.5 at the time of winning, 0.75 at the time of winning strong watermelon, 0.88 at the time of winning strong cherry, 1.1 at the time of winning middle cherry, 0.25 at the time of normal replay winning, 0 at the time of winning one piece .35. In this way, when controlled to CZ, compared to when not controlled to CZ, the expected value of granting navigation stock is higher in the AT lottery, and the probability of determining to grant navigation stock is higher. Thereby, when the CZ game is awarded, the player can be expected to give the navigation stock, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  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 provided are performed in a single lottery. Absent. For example, in the AT lottery, a lottery for determining whether or not to give a navigation stock is performed first, and a lottery for determining the number of navigation stocks to be given when it is decided to give the number of navigation stocks is performed twice. It may be configured by lottery.

  As described above, the cherry role and the watermelon role are included in both the AT role and the CZ role. That is, the main control unit 41 is based on the condition that one of the cherry roles or one of the watermelon roles is won (it can also be said that the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the role is operated). In addition, it is determined whether or not a navigation stock is to be given by AT lottery, and whether or not to give a CZ game by CZ lottery.

  Furthermore, in normal / RT0 to RT4, any watermelon combination and any cherry combination can be won simultaneously with BB. That is, the main control unit 41 is based on the condition that one of the cherry roles or one of the watermelon roles is won (it can also be said that the start switch 7 for starting the game winning the role is operated). In addition, whether or not to win a BB by internal lottery is determined at the same time as whether or not to give a navigation stock and whether or not to give a CZ game.

[AT management processing]
When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the AT lottery, the main control unit 41 stores the AT flag indicating the AT and the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Based on the AT flag in the RAM 41c, the main control unit 41 specifies whether or not to control the 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 main control unit 41 wins the navigation target combination during the AT control, the main control unit 41 transmits a navigation command that can specify the corresponding operation procedure to the sub-control unit 91. When the sub-control unit 91 receives the navigation command, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect informing the corresponding operation procedure.

  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 AT lottery result, for example, the navigation stock number specified from the AT flag stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is added to the number of navigation stocks corresponding to the current AT lottery result. 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 main control unit 41 performs the control to the AT based on the AT flag 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 main control unit 41 controls to the 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 a predetermined number of medals (400 medals or more in the present embodiment) are paid out, the AT is controlled 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.

  The main control unit 41 performs AT management processing to control non-AT when a predetermined number of medals are paid out in the case of 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, the number of navigation stocks will be consumed and controlled by AT when the target role of the navigation effect is won. . Then, the number of navigation stock is also reduced to 0, and the number of navigations is also reduced to 0, whereby AT ends.

  The main control unit 41 performs navigation to the sub-control unit 91 by performing the AT management process and, when the AT flag is specified as AT, by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The production is executed. 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.

  When the AT lottery and the AT management process are executed 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 role is missed in the selected 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.

[Expectation lottery]
In the present embodiment, in each of the benefits such as Navistock, CZ game, and BB winning, the fact that a predetermined lottery role such as a watermelon role or a cherry role is won, that is, a game in which a predetermined lottery role is won. It is determined whether or not to give a condition that the start switch 7 to be started is operated. For this reason, when a cherry role or a watermelon role is won, there is a possibility of any of AT winning, BB winning, and CZ winning. For example, if a player wins a cherry role or a watermelon role, the player can expect any of a grant of navigation stock, a CZ game, and a BB win. Here, if the presence / absence of each privilege has been notified at the same timing, the player can be expected to grant the privilege only at the notified timing, but after that the player's Expectation cannot be sustained.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, in each of the benefits such as Navistock, CZ game, and BB winning, it is determined when the same predetermined condition is satisfied, but whether or not each privilege is granted is notified at different timings. The Specifically, in the case of the present embodiment, each benefit is notified in the game where each of the benefits is executed in a different game as an effect result after being executed in a game with different types of expected effects.

  For example, FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining an expected effect lottery table. The sub-control unit 91 executes an expected effect lottery based on the expected effect lottery table, thereby determining an expected effect that is expected to give a privilege advantageous to the player. The expectation effect includes a first effect that expects the grant of the navigation stock based on whether or not the navigation stock is granted by the AT lottery, and a second effect that expects the grant of the CZ game based on whether or not the CZ game is granted by the CZ lottery. , And a third effect that expects a BB win based on the presence or absence of a BB win by internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 20A, there are four types of effects such as A1, B1, C1, and D1 in the first effect that the navigation stock is expected to be given. The effect of A1 is that at the liquid crystal display 51, a character image that randomly shows any probability between 1% and 25% over 3 games is displayed, and then whether or not an AT is won, that is, a navigation stock is given The presence / absence information is notified. For example, a character image indicating 5% is displayed in the first game, a character image indicating 10% is displayed in the second game, and a character image indicating 25% is displayed in the third game. Then, a character image of “AT confirmed” is displayed, while a character image of “sorry” is displayed or nothing is displayed if the AT is not won.

  Similarly, the effect of B1 is based on the fact that a character image indicating any probability between 26% and 50% is displayed randomly over three games on the liquid crystal display 51, and the presence or absence of AT winning, that is, navigation. This is the content that informs whether or not stock is given. The effect of C1 is that at the liquid crystal display 51, a character image showing any probability between 51% and 75% is displayed randomly over 3 games, and then whether or not an AT is won, that is, a navigation stock is given The presence / absence information is notified. The effect of D1 is that the liquid crystal display 51 displays a character image that randomly shows any probability between 76% and 99% over 3 games, and then the presence or absence of AT winning, that is, navigation stock This is the content to be notified of whether or not it is given.

  At AT non-winning, the probability of being determined as A1 effect content is 70%, the probability of being determined as B1 effect content is 15%, the probability of being determined as C1 effect content is 10%, and the effect content of D1 The probability determined to be 5%. On the other hand, at the time of winning the AT, the probability of being determined as the A1 effect content is 5%, the probability of being determined as the B1 effect content is 10%, the probability of being determined as the C1 effect content is 15%, and the effect of D1 The probability determined by the content is 70%.

  As described above, after a predetermined lottery such as a watermelon role or a cherry role is won and the AT lottery is executed, the presence or absence of the navigation stock is notified as the effect after the first effect is executed. Thereby, the player can be expected to give the navigation stock by the first effect.

  Further, when AT is not elected, the probability of being determined in the order of A1, B1, C1, and D1 is high, whereas when AT is elected, the probability of being determined in the order of D1, C1, B1, and A1 is high. For this reason, when a character image showing a high probability (a character image between 76% and 99%) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as in the effect contents of D1, a low probability is shown as in A1. The player can be expected to give the navigation stock more than when the character image (character image between 1% and 25%) is displayed. In this way, it is possible to expect the player to pay attention to the character image indicating the probability displayed during the first presentation and to give the navigation stock.

  As shown in FIG. 20B, there are four types of effects such as A2, B2, C2, and D2 in the second effect that is expected to give the CZ game. As for the effect of A2, after the image of the battle effect by the character A is displayed over the two games on the liquid crystal display 51, the presence or absence of the CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified. For example, in the first game, an effect image in which the character A battles with an enemy character is displayed, and in the second game, an effect image in which the character A wins if an AT win is displayed and then “AT confirmed” is displayed. On the other hand, a character image is displayed, but if AT is not won, an effect image in which character A is defeated is displayed, and a character image of “sorry” is displayed, or nothing is displayed.

  Similarly, the effect of B2 is a content in which after the image of the battle effect by the character B is displayed over two games on the liquid crystal display 51, the presence or absence of the CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified. . The effect of C2 is a content in which after the image of the battle effect by the character C is displayed over two games on the liquid crystal display 51, the presence or absence of CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified. The effect of D2 is a content in which after the image of the battle effect by the character D is displayed over two games on the liquid crystal display 51, the presence or absence of CZ winning, that is, the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified.

  At the time of CZ non-winning, the probability of being determined as A2 effect content is 70%, the probability of being determined as B2 effect content is 15%, the probability of being determined as C2 effect content is 10%, and the effect content of D2 The probability determined to be 5%. On the other hand, at the time of winning CZ, the probability of being determined to be A2's effect content is 5%, the probability of being determined to be B2 effect content is 10%, the probability of being determined to be C2 effect content is 15%, and the effect of D2 The probability determined by the content is 70%.

  In this way, after a predetermined lottery such as a watermelon role or a cherry role is won and the CZ lottery is executed, the second effect is executed and the presence or absence of the CZ game is notified as the effect result. Thereby, the player can be expected to give the CZ game by the second effect.

  Further, when CZ is not won, the probability of being determined in the order of A2, B2, C2, and D2 is high, whereas when CZ is won, the probability of being determined in the order of D2, C2, B2, and A2 is high. For this reason, when the image of the battle effect by the character D is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 like the content of the effect of D2, the image of the battle effect by the character A is displayed, as in A2. The player can be expected to give a CZ game. Thus, the player can be expected to give a CZ game by paying attention to the type of character displayed during the second performance.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (C), there are four types of effects such as A3, B3, C3, and D3 in the third effect that expects BB winning. The effect of A3 is a content in which the presence or absence of BB winning is notified after the background image is changed to white over two games in the liquid crystal display 51. For example, if the first game is changed from the blue background image, which is the initial state, to the white background image, the second game maintains the white background image, and if the BB is won, the character image “BB confirmed” is displayed. On the other hand, if the BB is not won, a character image of “sorry” is displayed or nothing is displayed.

  Similarly, the effect of B3 is a content in which the presence / absence of BB winning is notified after the background image is changed to green over two games in the liquid crystal display 51. The effect of C3 is a content in which the presence or absence of BB winning is notified after the background image is changed to yellow over two games in the liquid crystal display 51. The effect of D3 is a content in which the presence or absence of BB winning is notified after the background image is changed to red over two games in the liquid crystal display 51.

  At the time of BB non-winning, the probability of being determined as A3 performance content is 70%, the probability of being determined as B3 performance content is 15%, the probability of being determined as C3 performance content is 10%, the content content of D3 The probability determined to be 5%. On the other hand, at the time of winning the BB, the probability of being determined as the A3 effect content is 5%, the probability of being determined as the B3 effect content is 10%, the probability of being determined as the C3 effect content is 15%, and the effect of the D3 effect The probability determined by the content is 70%.

  In this way, after a predetermined lottery such as a watermelon role or a cherry role is won and the internal lottery is executed, the third effect is executed and then the presence / absence of BB winning is notified as the effect result. Thereby, it can be made to expect a player with respect to BB winning by 3rd production.

  When BB is not won, the probability of being determined in the order of A3, B3, C3, and D3 is high, whereas when BB is won, the probability of being determined in the order of D3, C3, B3, and A3 is high. For this reason, in the liquid crystal display 51, when the background image is changed to red as shown in the effect content of D3, the player is BB better than when the background image is changed to white as in A3. You can expect to win. In this way, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the color of the background image during the third performance and to expect BB winning.

[Benefit notification timing]
The privilege notification timing will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. As described above, the presence / absence of AT winning is notified as the effect result of the first effect, the presence / absence of CZ winning is notified as the effect result of the second effect, and the presence / absence of BB winning is notified as the effect result of the third effect. . And although the advantage is high in the order of Navistock, BB winning, and CZ game, the presence / absence of each privilege is notified at different timings depending on the advantage.

(Benefit notification timing in the first embodiment)
FIG. 21 is a timing chart for explaining the privilege notification timing in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, each expected effect is executed so that the notification timing of presence / absence of the grant comes in the order of the privilege with the higher advantage. FIG. 21 shows an example of a timing chart when AT is not won in the AT lottery, BB is not won in the internal lottery, and CZ is won in the CZ lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 21, first, in the first game, the main control unit 41 executes an internal lottery when the start switch 7 is operated by the player. In this internal lottery, the presence / absence of a winning combination of the AT lottery and the CZ lottery such as the cherry role and the watermelon role is determined, and the presence / absence of BB is determined. When the internal lottery is executed, an internal winning command that can specify the result of the internal lottery is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub-control unit 91.

  Based on the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes the AT lottery and the CZ lottery when any cherry combination or any watermelon combination is won. When the AT lottery is executed, an AT winning command capable of specifying the AT lottery result is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub-control unit 91. When the CZ lottery is executed, the main control unit 41 A CZ winning command capable of specifying the result of the CZ lottery is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives the internal lottery command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expected effect lottery that determines the type of the third effect according to the presence or absence of the BB winning. In addition, when receiving the AT winning command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expected effect lottery that determines the type of the first effect according to the presence or absence of the AT winning. In addition, when receiving the CZ winning command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expected effect lottery that determines the type of the second effect according to the presence or absence of the CZ winning.

  Furthermore, the sub-control unit 91 determines the execution timing of each expected effect so that the notification timing of presence / absence of the grant comes in the order of Navi stock, BB winning, and CZ game in which the advantage is high. In the case of the example in FIG. 21, first, the sub-control unit 91 performs a first effect on whether or not an AT is won in the first game to the third game, and displays a character image of “sorry” on the liquid crystal at the end of the third game. It is displayed on the device 51 to notify that the AT is not won. Next, the sub-control unit 91 executes a third effect for determining whether or not BB is won in the fourth and fifth games, and displays a character image of “sorry” on the liquid crystal display 51 at the end of the fifth game. Notify that BB is not won. Next, the sub-control unit 91 executes a second effect for determining whether or not CZ has been won in the sixth and seventh games, displays an effect image in which the character wins at the end of the seventh game, and then performs “AT determination”. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that CZ has been won.

  As described above, the timing at which the presence / absence of the navigation stock is notified, the timing at which the presence / absence of the BB winning is notified, and the timing at which the presence / absence of the CZ game is notified are different. The player can be expected, and the player's expectation for the provision of the privilege can be maintained. Further, since the advantage is higher in the order of Navistock, BB win, and CZ game, the player's attention is given to the timing at which the presence / absence of the navigation stock is notified than the timing at which the presence / absence of the BB win / CZ game is notified. Can be collected, and the interest of the game can be improved in relation to the advantage of the privilege and the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant.

  In addition, since the presence or absence of the most advantageous Navistock is notified before the BB winning and the CZ game are granted, the winning of the cherry role and the watermelon role is made by winning the cherry role or the watermelon role. When the player recognizes, the player's expectation is continuously improved by expecting the player to give Navistock, which has the highest advantage, after winning the cherry or watermelon role. Can be improved.

  In addition, the first effect that tells whether or not the navigation stock is given is more effective than the third effect that tells whether or not the BB winning is given and the second effect that tells whether or not the CZ game is given. There are a lot of games. For this reason, the number of games expected by the player for the grant of the navigation stock having the highest advantage is higher than the grant of the BB winning and the CZ game, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the first effect is given in the first game in which the internal lottery, the AT lottery, and the CZ lottery are executed, whether or not the navigation stock is provided, the player is also provided with the navigation stock in the first game. Can be expected to pay attention to. Then, when the player recognizes the winning of the cherry role or watermelon role by winning the cherry role or the watermelon role, the player's sense of expectation within the game is achieved by the first effect executed in the game. Can be continuously improved, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(Benefit notification timing in the second embodiment)
FIG. 22 is a timing chart for explaining the privilege notification timing in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, each expected effect is executed so that the notification timing of presence / absence of the grant comes in the order of the benefits with the lower priority. FIG. 22 shows an example of a timing chart in the case where the CZ winning is not performed in the CZ lottery, the BB winning is not performed in the internal lottery, and the AT winning is performed in the AT lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 22, first, in the first game, the main control unit 41 executes an internal lottery when the start switch 7 is operated by the player. In this internal lottery, the presence / absence of a winning combination of the AT lottery and the CZ lottery such as the cherry role and the watermelon role is determined, and the presence / absence of BB is determined. When the internal lottery is executed, an internal winning command that can specify the result of the internal lottery is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub-control unit 91.

  Based on the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes the AT lottery and the CZ lottery when any cherry combination or any watermelon combination is won. When the AT lottery is executed, an AT winning command capable of specifying the AT lottery result is transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub-control unit 91. When the CZ lottery is executed, the main control unit 41 A CZ winning command capable of specifying the result of the CZ lottery is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives the internal lottery command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expected effect lottery that determines the type of the third effect according to the presence or absence of the BB winning. In addition, when receiving the AT winning command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expected effect lottery that determines the type of the first effect according to the presence or absence of the AT winning. In addition, when receiving the CZ winning command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes an expected effect lottery that determines the type of the second effect according to the presence or absence of the CZ winning.

  Furthermore, the sub-control unit 91 determines the execution timing of each expected effect so that the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant comes in the order of CZ game, BB winning, and Navi stock in which the advantage is low. In the case of the example in FIG. 22, first, the sub-control unit 91 displays an effect image in which the character is defeated at the end of the second game after executing the second effect in the first game and the second game, indicating whether or not CZ is won. Above, a character image of “sorry” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that CZ is not won. Next, the sub-control unit 91 executes a third effect for determining whether or not BB is won in the third game and the fourth game, and displays a character image of “sorry” on the liquid crystal display 51 at the end of the fourth game. Notify that BB is not won. Next, the sub-control unit 91 executes the first effect for determining whether or not the AT is won in the fifth game to the seventh game, and displays a character image of “AT confirmed” on the liquid crystal display 51 at the end of the seventh game. To inform you that you have won the AT.

  As described above, the timing at which the presence / absence of the navigation stock is notified, the timing at which the presence / absence of the BB winning is notified, and the timing at which the presence / absence of the CZ game is notified are different. The player can be expected, and the player's expectation for the provision of the privilege can be maintained. Further, since the advantage is higher in the order of Navistock, BB win, and CZ game, the player's attention is given to the timing at which the presence / absence of the navigation stock is notified than the timing at which the presence / absence of the BB win / CZ game is notified. Can be collected, and the interest of the game can be improved in relation to the advantage of the privilege and the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant.

  In addition, since the presence or absence of BB winning and CZ game will be notified before the presence or absence of the most advantageous Navistock, winning the cherry or watermelon role by winning the cherry or watermelon role After the player recognizes, even if the result that the BB non-winning or the CZ game is not given is notified, the player can be expected to give the most advantageous navigation stock after that, and the player's expectation A feeling can be maintained.

  In addition, the first effect that tells whether or not the navigation stock is given is more effective than the third effect that tells whether or not the BB winning is given and the second effect that tells whether or not the CZ game is given. There are a lot of games. For this reason, the number of games expected by the player for the grant of the navigation stock having the highest advantage is higher than the grant of the BB winning and the CZ game, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the second effect is performed in the first game in which the internal lottery, the AT lottery, and the CZ lottery are executed, whether or not the CZ game is given is executed, the player is also given the CZ game in the first game. Can be expected to pay attention to. Then, when the player recognizes the winning of the cherry role or watermelon role by winning the cherry role or the watermelon role, the player's sense of expectation in one game is realized by the second effect executed in the game. Can be continuously improved, and the interest of the game can be improved.

[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 benefits]
In the present embodiment, Navistock, CZ game, and BB winning are exemplified as benefits, but not limited thereto.

  For example, any two of the above three types may be used as a privilege. For example, if a cherry role or watermelon role is not won at the same time as the BB, and if a cherry role or watermelon role is won, the player is expected to expect only by giving the Navistock and CZ games. It may be.

  Further, any one of the above three types may be used as a privilege, and there may be a plurality of privileges having different degrees of advantage among the one type. For example, if the cherry role or watermelon role is not won at the same time as the BB, and if the CZ lottery is not executed even if the cherry role or watermelon role is won, if the cherry role or watermelon role is won, However, the player may expect the player to perform the expectation only. Furthermore, when the cherry role or the watermelon role is won, the first AT lottery for determining whether or not to give the first navigation stock having high advantage (for example, the navigation stock controlled by the AT for 100 games by one consumption), A second AT lottery that determines whether or not to grant a second navigation stock (for example, a navigation stock controlled by the AT for 50 games with one consumption) having a lower advantage than the first navigation stock, and each lottery Expected effects for notifying the result may be executed at different timings, and the presence / absence of giving may be notified at different timings in the first navigation stock and the second navigation stock.

  Furthermore, more types of benefits than the above three types may be provided, and whether or not to be granted may be determined by lottery when a cherry role or a watermelon role is won. For example, not only directly related to the medal payout rate, but also useful (advantageous) to the player such as character image data, music data, or points that can be exchanged for prizes using a mobile terminal Any privilege may be used.

[About the benefits of benefits]
In the present embodiment, it is exemplified that the advantage is high in the order of Navistock, BB winning, and CZ game, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, if the AT has a medal payout rate of 1 or more and ends when 200 or more medals are paid out, the BB winning as a right to BB control is The player's advantage is higher than the right Navistock. Further, in this case, as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when the expected effect is executed so that the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant is reached in the order of the privilege having the highest advantage, the presence / absence of the navigation stock is notified. Prior to the second effect in which the presence or absence of the first effect and the CZ game is notified, the third effect in which the presence or absence of the BB winning with the highest advantage is notified is executed. Furthermore, as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when the expected effect is executed so that the notification timing of the presence / absence of the grant comes in the order of the privilege having the lowest advantage, the BB winning with the highest advantage is given. Prior to the third effect in which the presence / absence is notified, the first effect in which the presence / absence of the navigation stock is notified and the second effect in which the presence / absence of the CZ game is notified are executed.

  Moreover, the advantage between each privilege is not limited to the direct difference in the number of medals paid out. For example, if the number of medals in AT that are controlled when one Navistock is consumed is the same as the number of medals in BB, the internal lottery when the cherry or watermelon role is won When BB wins at the same time, a predetermined number of navigation stocks may be awarded, or AT lottery may be executed. In this case, when winning the BB, in addition to the number of medals paid out in the BB, it can be expected to give the navigation stock, so it can be said that the BB winning is a privilege that is more advantageous than the navigation stock. .

[About specified conditions]
In the present embodiment, as a common condition for determining whether or not to give a navigation stock and whether or not to give a CZ game, it is exemplified that a winning combination of cherry or watermelon is won. In addition, as a common condition for determining whether to grant a navigation stock, whether to give a CZ game, and whether to give a BB win, a game winning a cherry role or a watermelon role is started. An example in which the start switch 7 is operated is illustrated. However, the predetermined condition is not limited to this.

  For example, a predetermined condition may be that a role other than a cherry role or a watermelon role is won, or a predetermined condition may be that one of the roles has been won. Further, a predetermined condition may be that any one of the switches (for example, the third stop by the stop switch, the effect switch 56) is operated. Furthermore, a freeze that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period (for example, the reel rotation start timing is delayed, the operation of the start switch 7 or the stop switch becomes invalid for the predetermined period), or the predetermined number of games The predetermined condition may be that (for example, 100 games since the end of the previous BB) have been consumed. Alternatively, a mini game may be executed in parallel with a normal slot game, and a predetermined condition may be established according to the result of the mini game.

[About notification timing]
In the present embodiment, for the three types of benefits, the first embodiment in which the notification timing of the presence / absence of grants comes in the order of benefits with a high degree of benefit, and the first notification timing of presence / absence of grants in the order of benefits with a low degree of advantage Two embodiments are illustrated. However, the notification timing is not limited to these.

  Presence or absence of grant when the first benefit with the highest advantage, the second privilege with the lowest advantage, and the third privilege with the advantage between the first privilege and the second privilege are established. May be determined, the notification timing of presence / absence of grant may arrive in the following order.

  For example, similarly to the first embodiment, the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant may be reached in the order of the first privilege, the third privilege, and the second privilege. For example, as in the second embodiment, the notification timing of whether or not to grant may arrive in the order of the second privilege, the third privilege, and the first privilege. For example, the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant may arrive in the order of the first privilege, the second privilege, and the third privilege. For example, the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant may arrive in the order of the second privilege, the first privilege, and the third privilege. For example, the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant may arrive in the order of the third privilege, the first privilege, and the second privilege. For example, the notification timing of presence / absence of grant may arrive in the order of the third privilege, the second privilege, and the first privilege. Regardless of the number of benefits determined whether or not to be granted based on the establishment of a predetermined condition, the presence / absence of grant is not reported only at one timing, but granted at a plurality of notification timings. What is necessary is just to be notified of the presence or absence. Moreover, the order of the notification timing may be any one, and some of the plurality of benefits may be notified of the presence / absence of grant overlapping with other privileges.

  In addition, the notification timing may be a timing that arrives in a game in which a predetermined condition for determining whether or not to grant a privilege is satisfied. For example, in the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the first effect may be executed only for a game won for the AT role and the presence / absence of AT winning may be notified in the game. Further, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the second effect may be executed only for the game won for the CZ role and the presence / absence of CZ winning may be notified in the game, or the cherry role or watermelon role may be displayed. The third effect may be executed only in the winning game and the presence / absence of BB winning may be notified in the game.

  In the present embodiment, FIG. 21 shows an example of a timing chart when AT is not won in AT lottery, BB is not won in internal lottery, and CZ is won in CZ lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Further, the present invention can be applied to a timing chart in a case where AT is not won in AT lottery, BB is not won in internal lottery, and CZ is not won in CZ lottery. In this case, at the end of the second effect that tells whether or not CZ is won, an effect image in which the character is defeated is displayed, and a character image of “sorry” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that CZ was not won. The

  In the present embodiment, FIG. 22 shows an example of a timing chart in the case where the CZ winning is not performed in the CZ lottery, the BB winning is not performed in the internal lottery, and the AT winning is performed in the AT lottery. Further, the present invention can also be applied to a timing chart in the case where the CZ lottery is not won in the CZ lottery, the BB won in the internal lottery is not won, and the AT lottery is not won. In this case, at the end of the first effect that tells whether or not the AT has been won, a character image of “sorry” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to notify that the AT has not been won.

  When it is notified that the benefit is given by the expected performance performed in advance for each expected performance that strikes each privilege, the expected performance that was scheduled to be performed after that is canceled without being executed. Also good. For example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the AT has been won by the first effect, the subsequent third effect and second effect may not be executed. Furthermore, when it is notified that the AT has not been won by the first effect, and after that it has been notified that the BB has been won by the third effect, the subsequent second effect may not be executed. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that CZ is won by the second effect, the subsequent third effect and first effect may not be executed. Furthermore, when it is notified that the CZ was not won by the second effect, and then it is notified that the BB was won by the third effect, the subsequent first effect may not be executed. In addition, the privilege that was scheduled to be notified of the presence or absence of the grant by the canceled expected effect may cancel the grant itself, may be notified without the effect, or a predetermined condition in subsequent games It may be given when the lottery is established and the lottery is performed again.

  In addition, for each expected production that sings each benefit, regardless of whether or not it has been notified that the benefit is given by the expected production performed earlier, each expected production is always executed, and each privilege is given. The presence / absence may be always notified. For example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the presence / absence of AT winning is notified by the first effect, and the presence / absence of BB winning is notified by the third effect regardless of whether or not the AT is won. Regardless of whether or not it is done, the presence or absence of CZ winning may be notified by the second effect. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the presence or absence of CZ is notified by the second effect, and the presence or absence of BB is notified by the third effect regardless of whether or not the CZ is won. Regardless of whether or not it is performed, the presence or absence of AT winning may be notified by the first effect.

  In addition, when it is notified that the benefit is given by the expected production performed in advance for each expected production that calls each privilege, the control is performed after the control based on the provision of the previous privilege is performed. It is also possible to execute the expected production that was scheduled to be performed. For example, in the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the AT has been won by the first effect, the subsequent third effect and second effect are executed while being controlled by the AT. It may be a thing. Furthermore, when it is notified that the BB has been won by the third effect, the subsequent second effect may be executed while being controlled by the BB. In the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that the CZ is won by the second effect, the subsequent third effect and first effect are executed while being controlled by the CZ. It may be a thing. Furthermore, when it is notified that BB is won by the third effect, the subsequent first effect may be executed while being controlled by BB.

  In addition, when it is informed that the benefit is given by the expected production performed in advance for each expected production that calls each privilege, it is scheduled to be performed after the control based on the provision of the previous privilege is finished. It may be the one that performs the expected production. For example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the AT has been won by the first effect, the third effect and the second effect are executed after the AT is finished. May be. Furthermore, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, the second effect after that may be executed after the BB ends. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that CZ is won by the second effect, the third effect and the first effect are executed after the CZ is finished. May be. Furthermore, when it is notified that the BB has been won by the third effect, the subsequent first effect may be executed after the BB ends. In addition, even after the control based on the provision of the previous privilege is completed, whether or not the privilege is notified by the expected effect that was scheduled to be performed thereafter is suddenly notified without the expected effect. Good. For example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, a lamp that can specify that the CZ is won without the second effect after the BB is finished. May be used to notify that CZ has been won. Further, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when it is notified that the BB is won by the third effect, a lamp that can specify that the AT has been won without the first effect after the BB is finished. May be used to notify that the AT has been won.

[Expected production]
In the present embodiment, the expected effect shown in FIG. 20 is executed. However, the content of the expected effect is not limited to this, and other contents may be used. For example, when the predetermined condition for determining whether to give a privilege is freeze, the expected effect may be executed according to the time when the progress of the game is delayed by the freeze or the operation mode of the reel being frozen. For example, when the freeze is executed, the AT lottery is executed, and if the AT is won, the freeze period may be long, and if the AT is not won, the freeze period may be short. Further, when the freeze is executed, the AT lottery may be executed, and if the AT is won, the reel rotates backward during the freeze, and if the AT is not won, the reel may stop during the freeze.

  In the present embodiment, the first effect that expects the grant of navigation stock is executed for 3 games, the second effect that expects the grant of CZ game, and the third effect that expects the BB win is executed for 2 games. It was a thing. However, the number of execution games of each expected effect is not limited to this, and may be other game numbers. In addition, it is preferable that the expected effect that expects the grant of the privilege with the highest advantage is more than the expected effect that expects the grant of other benefits. In other words, if the number of games that the player expects to be given the most advantageous privilege is greater than the number of games that are expected to give other benefits, the player's expectation will be improved, and the interest of the game will be improved be able to.

  In the present embodiment, the expected effect is executed over a plurality of games, but may be executed within a predetermined period such as one game. For example, in the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, the first effect that expects the provision of navigation stock is executed in the period from when the start switch 7 is operated until the first stop and the second stop, The second effect that expects the grant of the BB winning may be executed during the period from the stop to the third stop. In the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22, a second effect is executed in which a BB winning is expected in the period from when the start switch 7 is operated until the first stop and the second stop. The first effect that expects the provision of the navigation stock during the period from the stop to the third stop may be executed. In addition, it is preferable that the expected production that expects the grant of the privilege with the highest advantage has a longer execution period than the expected production that expects the grant of other benefits. In other words, if the period for which the player is expected to grant the privilege with the highest advantage is longer than the period for which the other privilege is expected to be given, the player's expectation will be improved, and the interest of the game may be improved. it can.

  Further, in this embodiment, the start timing of each expected effect is different from each other, and each expected effect does not overlap, but not limited to this, the start timing of any expected effect is different from the start timing of other expected effects. It may be the same, or one of the expected effects may overlap with other expected effects. What is necessary is just to alert | report the provision presence or absence of each privilege at a different timing.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, different expected effects are executed for each privilege such as Navistock, BB winning, and CZ game. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The result of presence / absence of grant may be notified. Also in this case, the notification timing of the presence / absence of grant may arrive in the order of the privilege with the higher advantage as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, or as advantageous in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 22. The notification timing of presence / absence of grant may arrive in the order of the privilege with the lower degree.

[About the protagonist]
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, when a middle bell wins, a predetermined privilege (for example, execution of AT lottery, execution of CZ lottery, confirmation of grant of Navistock or CZ game) is granted, and when a right-down bell wins, a predetermined privilege is given. The structure which is not provided may be sufficient. 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 Navistock grant expectation value and high advantage, the push order bell with the correct answer at the middle first stop and the leading role wins, and the main answer with the right answer at the first stop As the second push order bell, which has a low Navistock grant expected value and 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.

[Control for AT]
In the present embodiment, the example in which the main control unit 41 executes the AT lottery has been described. However, the sub control unit 91 may execute the AT lottery. For example, the sub control unit 91 may execute the AT lottery when the AT combination is won based on the internal lottery result that can be specified from the internal lottery command received from the main control unit 41.

  In the present embodiment, the AT management process is also executed by the main control unit 41, but may be executed by the sub control unit 91. For example, the sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not navigation stock is provided based on the AT winning command, and stores an AT flag indicating the AT and the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c based on the result. May be. Then, the sub-control unit 91 controls the AT when the AT flag is set, and executes the navigation effect when the winning of the navigation target role is specified from the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41. It may be.

[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.

[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.
