Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable.

  Some slot machines of this type are controlled to the AT state from the end of the bonus until the predetermined number of games are consumed, and the AT state is maintained even if the replay lottery state fluctuates (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5678264

  However, in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, when the replay lottery state fluctuates in the AT state and the winning probability of the replay decreases, the percentage of losing increases. It was not considered whether to perform such production control.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that can cope with a situation in which the rate of loss is increased.

(1) Provided with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each capable of being identified,
In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variably displayed, and a winning can be generated according to the display result ,
A pre-determining means (for example, an internal lottery) for determining whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings including a specific winning (for example, a re-gamer),
A specific state in which a predetermined state (for example, RT1, RT0, a preparation state, a fall state) and a ratio at which the determination result of the predetermining means results in allowing the occurrence of the specific winning is higher than in the predetermined state (For example, refer to FIG. 10) state control means for controlling to any of a plurality of states including RT2;
The notification state (for example, AT) can be controlled in both the predetermined state and the specific state, and the specific state ends when the control is performed in the notification state in the specific state. A notification state control means (for example, a process for controlling the main control unit 41, AT) to continue control to the notification state even after being controlled;
In the notification state, notification effect execution means (for example, main control unit 41 or sub-control unit) capable of executing notification effects (for example, navigation notification, navigation effect, “?” Suggestion) according to the determination result of the prior determination means. 91, processing for performing navigation notification, navigation production, “?” Suggestion),
The ratio at which the determination result of the pre-decision means is an unacceptable result (for example, a loss) that does not allow the occurrence of any of the plurality of types of winnings is more in the predetermined state than in the specific state. The time is higher (see, for example, FIG. 14)
The notification effect executing means is a notification effect that can be executed in the specific state when the determination result of the prior determination means in the notification state becomes the non-permissible result in the notification state. The same effect (for example, “?” Suggestion) is executed (FIG. 26).

  According to such a configuration, when the specific state ends in the notification state and is controlled to the predetermined state, the ratio of the non-permissible result increases, but when the non-permissible result in the predetermined state is the specific state The same effect as the notification effect that can be executed is executed. For this reason, it is possible to execute an effect when an unacceptable result is obtained in a predetermined state without increasing the amount of effect prepared in advance.

(2) Provided with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each capable of being identified,
In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variably displayed, and a winning can be generated according to the display result ,
A pre-determining means (for example, an internal lottery) for determining whether or not to allow a plurality of types of winnings including a specific winning (for example, a re-gamer),
A specific state in which a predetermined state (for example, RT1, RT0, a preparation state, a fall state) and a ratio at which the determination result of the predetermining means results in allowing the occurrence of the specific winning is higher than in the predetermined state (For example, refer to FIG. 10) state control means for controlling to any of a plurality of states including RT2;
The notification state (for example, AT) can be controlled in both the predetermined state and the specific state, and the specific state ends when the control is performed in the notification state in the specific state. A notification state control means (for example, a process for controlling the main control unit 41, AT) to continue control to the notification state even after being controlled;
In the notification state, notification effect execution means (for example, main control unit 41 or sub-control unit) capable of executing notification effects (for example, navigation notification, navigation effect, “?” Suggestion) according to the determination result of the prior determination means. 91, processing for performing navigation notification, navigation production, “?” Suggestion),
The ratio at which the determination result of the pre-decision means is an unacceptable result (for example, a loss) that does not allow the occurrence of any of the plurality of types of winnings is more in the predetermined state than in the specific state. The time is higher (see, for example, FIG. 14)
The notification effect executing means does not execute the notification effect when the determination result of the prior determination means in the notification state becomes the non-permissible result in the notification state ([falling state of the modified example] About the notification effect at the time of failure in]]).

  According to such a configuration, when the specific state ends in the notification state and is controlled to the predetermined state, the ratio of the non-permissible result increases, but the notification effect is not executed when the non-permissible result is obtained in the predetermined state. . For this reason, it is possible to cope with an unacceptable result in a predetermined state without increasing the amount of effect prepared in advance, and it is possible to prevent frequent notification effects in the predetermined state.

  Note that the notification effects in the above (1) and (2) may be effects according to the determination result of the prior determination means. For example, a display result advantageous to the player is derived according to the determination result of the prior determination means. Such as an effect that suggests an operation procedure for making a decision, an effect that suggests a winning that is allowed to occur according to the determination result of the predetermining means, an effect that displays the background according to the determination result of the predetermining means, etc. Also good.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The notification effect executing means includes
In the notification state, a specific notification effect (for example, “?” Suggestion) is executed as a notification effect when the determination result of the prior determination means in the specific state becomes the non-permissible result,
In the notification state, the same effect as the specific notification effect is executed when the determination result of the prior determination means in the predetermined state becomes the non-permissible result (see, for example, FIG. 26).

  According to such a configuration, when an unacceptable result is obtained in the predetermined state, the same specific notification effect as that when the unacceptable result is obtained in the specific state is executed. The notification target can be matched with time.

(4) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The notification effect executing means includes
In the notification state, the determination result of the prior determination means in the specific state becomes a predetermined result (for example, a non-notification target winning) having a possibility of deriving a display result that does not generate any winnings. A predetermined notification effect (for example, “?” Suggestion) can be executed as the notification effect.
In the notification state, when the determination result of the prior determination means in the predetermined state becomes the non-permissible result, the same effect as the predetermined notification effect is executed as the notification effect (for example, see FIG. 26). ).

  According to such a configuration, when an unacceptable result is obtained in the predetermined state, the same predetermined notification effect as that when the predetermined result is obtained in the specific state is executed. The predetermined result is a result having a possibility of deriving a display result that does not generate any winnings. For this reason, the notification target can be matched between the specific state and the predetermined state.

(5) In the slot machine of (3) above,
The ratio at which the specific notification effect is executed when the notification state is the specific state and the ratio at which the same effect as the specific notification effect is executed when the notification state is the predetermined state are the same or They are substantially the same (for example, refer to the execution ratio in FIG. 26).

  According to such a configuration, even when the notification state is controlled from the specific state to the predetermined state, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience that the specific notification effect is excessively executed as compared with the specific state.

  The ratio is substantially the same as the specific notification effect and the frequency at which the same effect as the specific notification effect is executed, as long as the player cannot specify whether the state is the predetermined state or the specific state.

(6) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (5) above,
The notification state control means updates predetermined information (for example, the number of remaining AT games) according to the progress of the game when the specific state is in the notification state, and the predetermined information is defined information (for example, 0). The control to the notification state is ended when the predetermined state is reached, and the predetermined state is determined in accordance with the progress of the game in the predetermined state even after the specific state ends in the notification state and is controlled to the predetermined state. Update information.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a game in which the specific state is ended and controlled to a predetermined state in the notification state from being performed intentionally.

(7) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (6) above,
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L to 8R) operated by the player for deriving the display result;
Specific control execution means (for example, see FIG. 25) capable of executing specific control when controlled to the specific state by the state control means,
When the determination result of the prior determination unit is a specific result when the state control unit is in the predetermined state (for example, when the replay GR11 is won), the derivation operation unit performs the first specifying procedure and the second specifying Control to the specific state by being operated in any of the procedures (for example, left first stop, middle first stop)
The notification effect executing means includes
When the determination result of the prior determination means when the predetermined state (for example, the preparation state) is not yet controlled in the specific state in the notification state becomes the specific result, the first specific is performed as a notification effect. Perform a production that can specify the procedure,
When the determination result of the pre-determining means when the specific state ends and is controlled after being controlled to the specific state in the notification state is the specific result. In addition, an effect capable of specifying the second specifying procedure as the notification effect is executed (for example, FIG. 24),
The specific control execution means does not execute the specific control when the derivation operation means is operated in the second specific procedure and is controlled to the specific state in the predetermined state, and the derivation operation means is in the predetermined state. The specific control is executed when operated in the first specific procedure and controlled to the specific state (see, for example, FIG. 25).

  According to such a structure, when it becomes controllable from the predetermined state not yet controlled to the specific state in the notification state to the specific state, it is specified by executing an effect that can specify the first specific procedure as the notification effect. On the other hand, when the control is executed, when the specific state ends in the notification state and control can be performed from the controlled predetermined state to the specific state, the determination is performed by executing an effect that can specify the second specific procedure as the notification effect. Do not execute control. For this reason, it is possible to reduce annoyance caused by redundant execution of specific control.

(8) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (6) above,
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L to 8R) operated by the player for deriving the display result;
Specific control execution means (for example, see FIG. 25) capable of executing specific control when controlled to the specific state by the state control means,
The state control means controls the specific state by operating the derivation operation means in a specific procedure when the determination result of the prior determination means when the predetermined state is the specific result,
The specific control execution means includes
When the determination result of the prior determination means when the specific state ends and is controlled after being controlled to the specific state in the notification state becomes the specific result, the derivation operation means Even if operated in the specific procedure, the specific control is not executed,
When the determination result of the prior determination means when the notification state is not yet controlled to the specific state is the specific result, the derivation operation means is operated in the specific procedure. The specific control is executed (see the “specific control” column in the modification).

  According to such a configuration, the specific control is performed when the control can be performed from the predetermined state that is not yet controlled to the specific state in the notification state to the specific state, while the specific state is terminated and controlled in the notification state. When it becomes possible to control from the predetermined state to the specific state, the specific control is not executed. For this reason, it is possible to reduce annoyance caused by redundant execution of specific control.

  When a game is played in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 or a bet number is set using credits. 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 this embodiment, three bets are defined as a specified number of bets in RT0 to 4 described later, and two bets are determined as a specified number of bets in RB described later. When the bet number is set, the winning 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 a combination of symbols displayed on the perspective windows 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is a winning symbol combination. In this 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 used as the winning line. It has been established. In this embodiment, only one winning line is applied, but a plurality of winning lines may be applied.

  Further, in the present embodiment, invalid lines LM1 to LM1 are set apart from the winning line LN in order to make it easy to recognize that the winning line LN has a combination of symbols constituting the winning line. The invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are not determined based on the combination of symbols arranged in the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. When the combination of symbols constituting a specific prize is arranged on the winning line LN, the invalid line is displayed. When a combination of symbols (for example, bell-bell-bell) that is awarded when the winning line LN is aligned with any of the LM1 to LM4 is arranged, the symbols constituting a specific winning in the winning line LN It is easy to recognize that the combination is complete. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an invalid line LM1 and a lower stage of the reel 2L, which are set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the upper stage of the reel 2L, the upper stage of the reel 2C, the upper stage of the reel 2R, that is, the upper 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, the lower side There are four types of invalid lines LM3 set across straddling symbols LM3, lower stage of reel 2L, middle stage of reel 2C, upper stage of reel 2R, that is, invalid line LM4 set straddling to the right. It is defined as.

  In the present embodiment, as a winning combination, when a predetermined symbol combination (for example, “Bell-Watermelon-Cherry b” in FIG. 7 described later) is determined as a winning combination, a winning combination is achieved. In addition, a combination of symbols that becomes an index that is more easily recognized than the predetermined symbol combination in any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 when the predetermined symbol combination is aligned (for example, “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” in FIG. 7 described later). As a result, a combination that can be seen as having won a prize by a combination of symbols arranged in any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 is included. Hereinafter, a combination of symbols that is aligned with any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 when a predetermined symbol combination is aligned with the winning line LN is referred to as a symbol combination serving as an index, and constitutes a symbol combination serving as an index. The symbol is called an index symbol.

  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.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is completed, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a winning combination) is displayed on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R on the winning line LN. If the game stops as a result, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, when the combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the gaming state on the winning line LN is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the gaming state according to the combination of symbols is shifted. .

When this is done, the rotation of the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped, and the symbols are 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 rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum of 4 symbols is drawn in 190 ms. Will 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 one 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, the symbol from the symbol to four frames ahead is used. Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, in each 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.

  Hereinafter, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be simply referred to as reels unless it is necessary to distinguish between them. Further, the reel 2L may be referred to as a left reel, the reel 2C as a middle reel, and the reel 2R as a right reel. Further, an operation for stopping the reels 2L, 2C, 2R by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R may be referred to as a stop operation.

  The ROM 41b stores a control code indicating a user program (game control processing program for game control), fixed data, and the like.

  The RAM 41c provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power source. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, at least a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period.

  As the free-run counter circuit 507, four channels of 8-bit free-run counters are mounted.

  The random number circuits 508a and 508b are circuits that generate numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as an 8-bit random number or a 16-bit random number. In this embodiment, the hardware random number generated by the 16-bit random number circuit 508b among the random number circuits 508a and 508b is used as a random number for internal lottery described later.

In response to the chip select signal, the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or the external device serving as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 41a.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41. In this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be employed.

  The main control unit 41 also receives detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. The main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input port 511.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed every time a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, every fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment).

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

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

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55. These effect devices are sub-controls described later mounted on the effect control board 90. It is driven based on control by the unit 91.

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

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

  The effect control board 90 is composed of a microcomputer having a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d, and a liquid crystal display connected to the effect control board 90, a sub control unit 91 for effect control. 51, a display control circuit 92 for performing display control, an LED driving circuit 93 for controlling driving of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53, 54, when the power is turned on or from the sub CPU 91a The reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the initialization command is not input for a certain period of time, the switch detection circuit 96 that detects the detection signal input from the switches connected to the effect control board 90, date information and time Clock device 97 for outputting time information including information, slot machine 1 The power supply voltage to be supplied is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power failure detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub CPU 91a, and other circuits are mounted. In response to the command transmitted from the game control board 40, the CPU 91a performs various controls for performing an effect, and directly or indirectly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90.

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

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the input number of system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain time interval (about 2 ms).

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

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

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

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 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 set value display 24 is updated one by one (when the set value 6 is further operated, the set value 1 is set. Return). 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.

  In addition, when the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the configuration may be changed to the setting change state on condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected by the door opening detection switch 25. By setting it as such a structure, it can prevent that a setting change will be carried out illegally in the state which the front door 1b is not open | released. Further, in the configuration that shifts to the setting change state on the condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected, the door opening detection switch 25 does not detect the opening of the front door 1b after shifting to the setting change state. However, it is preferable to maintain the setting change state, so that even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting change, the operation for changing to the setting change state is not required again, and the setting change state is required. Operation is not complicated. In addition, after shifting to the setting change state, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off after the start switch 7 is operated and the set value is confirmed, the door opening detection switch 25 detects the opening of the front door 1b. On the condition that the setting change state is terminated, it may be configured to shift to a state in which the game can proceed. Even in such a configuration, the setting change is illegally performed when the front door 1b is not opened. Can be prevented.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 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 in which the game can proceed is returned.

  After the game, the setting is made on the condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected by the door opening detection switch 25 when the setting key switch 37 is turned on with no betting number set. A configuration for shifting to the confirmation state may be adopted, and by adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being illegally confirmed without the front door 1b being opened. Further, in the configuration that shifts to the setting confirmation state on the condition that the opening of the front door 1b is detected, the door opening detection switch 25 does not detect the opening of the front door 1b after the transition to the setting confirmation state. However, it is preferable to maintain the setting confirmation state, so that even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting confirmation, the operation for shifting to the setting confirmation state is not required again, and the setting confirmation state is required. Operation is not complicated. In addition, after shifting to the setting confirmation state, when the set key switch 37 is turned off after the set value is confirmed by operating the start switch 7, the door opening detection switch 25 detects the opening of the front door 1b. On the condition that the setting confirmation state is terminated, it may be configured to return to a state in which the game can proceed. Even in such a configuration, the setting value is illegally set when the front door 1b is not opened. It can be prevented from being confirmed.

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

  Then, 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. However, if the RAM 41c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state, thereby disabling the progress of the game.

  Further, 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 interruption process (sub), and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, A power interruption process (sub) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the next return is executed.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 returns 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. However, 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.

  In addition, even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub control unit 91 activates when receiving a setting command (described later) indicating that the setting change state has been entered from the main control unit 41. Even when a later-described return command or setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned is not received even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

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

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

  Initialization 1 is a setting key switch 37 that is on at the time of startup, and is an initialization that is performed before the transition to the setting change state or an initialization that occurs when a RAM error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, areas other than the important work and the special work are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the bonus. 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 an initialization 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 the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

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

  In this embodiment, in the initialization 1, the area other than the important work and the special work in the storage area of the RAM 41 c is initialized. However, all areas of the RAM 41 c may be initialized.

  The special work includes a game state storage work in which a game state flag indicating a game state is stored and an internal winning flag storage work in which an internal winning flag is stored. Since the special work is not initialized, the game state and the internal winning flag before the setting change are maintained even when the setting is changed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a specified number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (RT0 to RT4, RB) (in this embodiment, 3 for RT0-4 and 2 for RB) is determined. Thus, the game can be started on condition that a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line is activated (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always activated. A winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “combinations” is arranged on the winning line. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

  The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role.

  In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of these winning flags, 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. It 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. In other words, 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. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the winning of each combination described above before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7 At the time of detection). In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT0-4, RB), each combination determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Whether or not winning is permitted is determined according to the number of determination values.

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

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

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

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

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

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

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In this embodiment, if any of the winning combinations is won, when the stop operation is performed, the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of up to four frames. If possible, control is performed to align and stop, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In addition, in this embodiment, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, a stop operation is performed. In addition, if it is possible to align and stop the small roles that have been elected on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed to align and stop them, and the winning line can be drawn in up to 4 frames on the winning line. If the winning small role cannot be withdrawn, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line with a maximum of 4 draws, it will be controlled. The winning combination that is not won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of 4 frames. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. In the case where a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn 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.

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

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

  In this embodiment, the reel stop control is performed by using a stop control table that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing at which the stop operation is performed. A configuration that performs stop control by specifying the stop position from the table and stopping the reel at the specified stop position, and searching for a stop position that can be stopped when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or the stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control that identifies and stops the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and can be stopped without using the stop control table or the stop position table A configuration that uses stop control by searching and specifying the stop position together, and a configuration that performs stop control by partially changing the stop control table and stop position table. It may be.

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that has started counting from the time is more than the specified time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the specified time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, no wait is generated. At that time, the reel for the game in the game is started to rotate.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the specified time, that is, if the specified time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation of the previous game, a wait is generated and the reel starts rotating at that time. First, it waits until the game time that has started timing from the reel rotation start time of the previous game reaches the specified time, and starts rotating the reel when it reaches the specified time.

  The inserted number 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, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Or, when a prescribed number of bets is not set, a medal is inserted, or when the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. The inserted number command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, so that it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the inserted number command.

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

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state (RT0 to 4, RB) of the game, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game.

  The ART state command is a command that can specify whether it is AT, whether it is ART, the number of remaining games until the specified number of games to be described later, the number of remaining games in the precursor period, and the number of remaining games of ART. When the game starts, it is transmitted after the game state command.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game and after the gaming state command is transmitted. The internal winning command is transmitted when the game is started and after the ART state command.

  Since the game state command, the ART state command, and the internal winning command are transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts, the game is started by operating the start switch 7 by receiving these commands. Can be specified.

  The ART lottery result command is a command that can specify whether or not an ART lottery to be described later has been won, and is transmitted when an internal lottery command is transmitted in the game in which the ART lottery has been started. .

  The reel acceleration information 1 command is a command that can specify that the rotation of the reel starts with the progress of the game, and is transmitted when the rotation of the reel starts with the progress of the game. Since this is also transmitted when the rotation of the reel is started with the end of the freeze state, the reel acceleration information 1 command is received after the start of the freeze state is specified. Not only the fact that the rotation starts but also the end of the freeze state can be specified.

  The reel acceleration information 2 command is a command that can specify the start of the reel effect performed in the freeze state, and is transmitted when the change of the reel accompanying the reel effect is started in the freeze state. Since the reel acceleration information 2 command is transmitted when the change of the reel accompanying the reel effect starts in the freeze state, the fact that the reel effect has started in the freeze state is identified by receiving the reel acceleration information 2 command. Is possible.

  The stop operation command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel. Sent every time the accompanying stop control is performed.

  The sliding frame number command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is a left reel, a middle reel, or a right reel, and the number of sliding frames to be moved from when the corresponding reel is stopped until it stops. Each time stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel is performed, the corresponding stop operation command is transmitted after being transmitted.

  The stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is a left reel, a middle reel, or a right reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. Stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel Is transmitted after the corresponding sliding frame number command is transmitted.

  With the stop operation command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command, it is possible to specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and accompanying the stop operation of each reel Since it is transmitted every time stop control is performed, by receiving these commands, it is possible to specify that one of the reels has been stopped and the reel to be stopped.

  The game end command is a command that can specify that the game has ended, and is transmitted when the player presses the stop switch to stop the third stop reel and releases the stop switch.

  The winning number command is a command that can specify a combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, a type of winning, and a payout number of medals at the time of winning. The player stops the third stop reel. This is when the stop switch is pressed and released, and is transmitted after the game end command is transmitted.

  Both the game end command and the winning number command are transmitted when the player depresses the stop switch to release the third stop reel and releases the stop switch. It is possible to specify that all operations necessary to advance one game have been completed.

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

  The stand-by command is a command indicating a transition to the stand-by state. When one game is over and the bet amount is not set and the estimated end time (60 seconds in this embodiment) has passed, It is transmitted after the payout of medals by the settlement (including medals used for setting the number of bets) is completed and a payout end command is transmitted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals.

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

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

  The operation detection command is generated based on the detection state of the switch every time the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) is executed 10 times, and is temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c. Then, it is transmitted in the command transmission process of the subsequent timer interrupt process (main).

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that has started counting from the time is more than the specified time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the specified time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, no wait is generated. At that time, the rotation of the reel is started.

  On the other hand, when a predetermined number of bets are set by the insertion of medals after the end of one game, and the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the specified time, that is, if the specified time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation of the previous game, a wait is generated and the reel starts rotating at that time. First, it waits until the game time that has started timing from the reel rotation start time of the previous game reaches the specified time, and starts rotating the reel when it reaches the specified time.

  When the main control unit 41 controls the freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period when the start switch 7 is operated, the reel control using the reel can be performed during the freeze state. . In the reel production, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R can be subjected to special fluctuation modes (reel reverse rotation and reel vertical vibration in the present embodiment) that are not performed in normal games. By changing the reels in a changing manner, it is possible to suggest a situation that is advantageous to the player (for example, the possibility of winning an ART).

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

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

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

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

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED 55, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

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

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

I can say that.

  The red 7 replay is “replay a-blue 7-replay a”, “replay a-watermelon-replay a”, “replay a-cherry a-replay a”, “replay b-blue 7-” on the winning line LN at RT2. When a combination of “Replay a”, “Replay b-Watermelon-Replay a”, and “Replay b-Cherry a-Replay a” is completed, a prize is awarded and a replay game (replay) is given. In particular, the “replay b” of the left reel that constitutes the red 7 replay is arranged one position above “red 7”, and the “blue 7” of the middle reel is one above “red 7”. Since “Replay a” on the right reel is positioned one position above “Red 7”, “Replay b-Blue 7-Replay a” is displayed on the winning line LN. When the combinations are aligned, the combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” may be aligned in the lower stage, that is, the invalid line LM2. The left reel's “Replay a” and “Replay b” designs, the middle reel “Blue 7”, “Watermelon” and “Cherry a” designs, the right reel Since “Replay a” is arranged within 5 frames, it can be said that, in principle, when a red 7 replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that it can be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Further, the game state shifts to RT2 due to the red 7 replay winning.

  Blue 7 Replay is “Cherry a-Blue 7-Replay a”, “Cherry a-Watermelon-Replay a”, “Cherry a-Cherry a-Replay a”, “Bell-Blue 7-Replay” on the winning line LN at RT2. When a combination of “a”, “Bell-Watermelon-Replay a” or “Bell-Cherry a-Replay a” is completed, a prize is awarded and a replay game (replay) is given. In particular, “cherry a” on the left reel that constitutes the blue 7 replay is arranged one position above “blue 7”, and “replay a” on the right reel is one below “blue 7”. When the combination of “Cherry a-Blue 7-Replay a” is aligned on the winning line LN, the combination of “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7” is increased to the right, that is, the invalid line LM4. Can be aligned. The left reel's “cherry a” and “bell” symbols that make up the Blue 7 replay, the middle reel “blue 7”, “watermelon”, and “cherry a” any one symbol, the right reel Since “Replay a” is arranged within 5 frames, it can be said that, in principle, when a blue 7 replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that it can be awarded regardless of the timing of the stop operation. Further, the game state shifts to RT2 due to the blue 7 replay winning.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the transition outcome will be described. Transitions are "Replay a-Cherry a-Bell", "Replay a-Cherry b-Bell", "Replay a-Plum-Bell", "Replay b-Cherry a-Bell", "Replay b-Cherry b" -"Bell", "replay b-plum-bell", "replay a-bell-cherry a", "replay a-bell-white 7", "replay a-bell-BAR", "replay b-bell-cherry a" ”,“ Replay b-Bell-White 7 ”,“ Replay b-Bell-BAR ”,“ Bell-Cherry a-Cherry a ”,“ Bell-Cherry a-White 7 ”,“ Bell-Cherry a-BAR ”, “Bell-Cherry b-Cherry a”, “Bell-Cherry b-White 7”, “Bell-Cherry b-BAR”, “Bell-Plum-Cherry a”, “Bell-Plum-White 7”, “Bell- Plum-BAR ” , RT0, RT2, migration outcomes in RT3 is shifted to align and RT1 to the winning line LN. In this embodiment, the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 are elected, the reels other than the reels which are the winning conditions for the middle bell are set as the first stop, and the elected upper bell is missed. In this case, the transfer outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 12-16, the combination of the lottery object combination read as a lottery object role for each gaming state will be described. In the present embodiment, the role to be subject to the internal lottery or whether the game state is RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, or RB (including RB in BB) At least one of the winning probabilities is different. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 12 to FIG. 16, by indicating “+” between winning combinations, it indicates that they are simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 12 to 14, the lottery object combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that it is a lottery target when in the gaming state, and a cross indicates that it is not a lottery target when in the gaming state. It shows that.

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

  FIG. 12 shows combinations of special combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIGS. 13 and 14 show combinations of small roles that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. , A combination of re-playing combinations that are read out as lottery targets.

  When the gaming state is RT0, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, replay GR11, The replay GR12, the replay GR13, the replay GR14, the replay GR15, and the replay GR16 are targeted for internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT1, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay, Replay GR1, Replay GR2, Replay GR3, Replay GR4, Replay GR5, and Replay GR6 are targeted for internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT2, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay, The replay GR21, the replay GR22, and the replay GR23 are subject to internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT3, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay It becomes a target for internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RT4, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, and normal replay are the subject of internal lottery.

  When the gaming state is RB, strong cherries, weak cherries, watermelons, and common bells are targeted for internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the left bell 1 is a combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 8, and the left bell 2 is a combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 7, and the left bell 3 Is a combination of middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 6, and left bell 4 is a combination of middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5.

  The middle bell 1 is a combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, the middle bell 2 is the combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell. + The upper bell 3 + the upper bell 8 and the middle bell 4 is a combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 7.

  Further, the right bell 1 is a combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, the right bell 2 is a combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 8, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell. + The upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5 and the right bell 4 is a combination of the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell 6.

  In the following, when it is not particularly necessary to distinguish, left bells 1 to 4 are simply referred to as left bells, middle bells 1 to 4 are simply referred to as middle bells, and right bells 1 to 4 are simply referred to as right bells. There is. Moreover, when it is not necessary to distinguish any of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4, they may be simply referred to as push order bells.

  The common bell is a combination of a middle bell and a right-down bell. Strong cherries are a combination of square cherries + middle cherries, and weak cherries are single winning horn cherries. The watermelon is a combination of a middle-stage watermelon and a right-down watermelon.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the normal replay is a combination of middle stage replay + upward right replay. Replay GR1 is a combination of middle replay + promotion replay, replay GR2 is a combination of middle replay + promotion replay + upward replay, and replay GR3 is middle replay + promotion replay + red 7 replay. Replay GR4 is a combination of middle replay + promotion replay + red 7 replay + rightward replay, and replay GR5 is a combination of middle replay + promotion replay + tumbling replay, and replay GR6 , Middle stage replay + promotion replay + fall fall replay + upward right replay. The replay GR11 is a combination of special replay + red 7 replay + falling replay, and the replay GR12 is a combination of special replay + red 7 replay + falling replay + upward replay, and the replay GR13 is special. A combination of replay + red 7 replay + falling replay + middle replay. The replay GR14 is a combination of special replay + blue 7 replay + falling replay, and the replay GR15 is a combination of special replay + blue 7 replay + falling replay + upward replay, and the replay GR16 is special. A combination of replay + blue 7 replay + falling replay + middle replay. Further, the replay GR21 is a combination of middle replay + falling replay, the replay GR22 is a combination of middle replay + falling replay + rightward replay, and replay GR23 is middle replay + falling replay + rightward replay. + A combination of promoted replays.

  In this embodiment, when the push order bell is won, as shown in FIG. 17, the combination of the symbols to be stopped differs according to the type of the push order bell and the stop order.

  For example, if the left bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of the middle bell stops at the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, either the combination of the upper bell 1 and the upper bell 4 or the transition outcome is Stop at the winning line LN.

  The same applies to the left bells 2 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4. As shown in FIG. 17, the combination of symbols to be stopped differs depending on the type of the push order bell and the stop order.

  In this way, if any of the left bell, middle bell, and right bell, that is, the push order bell, is won, the middle bell will always win a prize by performing the stop operation according to the type of push order bell. On the other hand, by performing stop operation in a stop order other than the stop order according to the type of push order bell, the upper bell wins at a certain rate, but the upper stage bell is not aligned and the transitional outcome may stop. is there.

  For this reason, when the push order bell is won, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed in the stop order according to the type of the push order bell. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type is not known, it is not possible to intentionally select the stop order according to the type, and if the stop order matches, the middle bell is definitely won By doing so, medals can be obtained with certainty, but if the stopping order does not match, medals can be obtained only at a certain rate. In particular, in RT0 and RT2, since the transition point stops when the stop order does not match, if the stop order does not match, the transition to RT1 occurs at a certain rate.

  In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the middle bell wins at an equal rate and 8 medals can be obtained, so the player performs the stop operation in any stop order. Can be prevented from becoming extremely disadvantageous.

  In this embodiment, in any gaming state, when a common bell is won, a middle bell or a right-down bell wins. Specifically, when the left reel is stopped at a specific timing, the middle bell wins, and when the left reel is stopped at a timing other than the specific timing, the lower right bell wins. . On the other hand, when the push order bell is won, the right-down bell will not win. For this reason, the player can recognize that the common bell has been won by winning the right-down bell.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a weak cherry is won in any gaming state, if the left reel “cherry a” is stopped at a timing that can be stopped at either the middle or lower level, the left reel “Cherry a” stops at the lower stage, but when a strong cherry is won, the “Cherry a” on the left reel is stopped at a timing that can be stopped at both the middle and lower stages. “Cherry a” on the left reel stops in the middle. For this reason, as a result of performing a stop operation at a timing at which the “cherry a” of the left reel can be stopped at both the middle and lower stages, the “cherry a” of the left reel stops at the middle, so that the player You can recognize that a strong cherry was won.

  In the present embodiment, when the replays GR1 to GR6 are elected, as shown in FIG. 18, the combination of symbols to be stopped differs according to the type and stop order.

  For example, when replay GR1 (middle replay + promotion replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop in the middle left and right, the combination of promotion replay stops in the winning line LN and the stop order other than the left center right When the stop operation is performed at, the combination of middle stage replays stops at the winning line LN.

  The same applies to the replays GR2 to GR6, and as shown in FIG. 18, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different according to the type and stop order.

  As described above, when one of the replays GR1 to GR6 to be selected in the RT1 wins, by performing the stop operation in the stop order corresponding to the type, the promoted replay wins and moves to RT0. By performing a stop operation in a stop order other than the stop order corresponding to the type, the middle stage replay wins and RT1 is maintained.

  For this reason, when replay GR1-6 is won in RT1, the promotion replay wins by operating in the stop order corresponding to the type, but if the type is not known, intentionally select the stop order according to the type If the stop order matches, it is possible to shift to RT0 by winning the promoted replay. However, if the stop order does not match, RT1 is maintained.

  In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the promotion replay wins at an equal rate and shifts to RT0. Therefore, no matter what stop order the player performs the stop operation, Can be prevented from becoming disadvantageous.

  In the present embodiment, when the replays GR11 to 16 are elected, as shown in FIG. 18, the combination of symbols to be stopped differs according to the type and stop order.

  For example, when replay GR11 (special replay + falling replay) is elected and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop, the special replay combination stops at the winning line LN and the middle reel is When the stop operation is performed in the stop order to be the first stop, the red 7 replay combination is stopped on the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the stop order to be the first stop of the right reel, The combination of tumble replays stops at the winning line LN.

  The same applies to the replays GR12 to GR16, and as shown in FIG. 18, the combination of symbols to be stopped differs according to the type and stop order.

  As described above, when any of the replays GR11 to 16 to be selected at RT0 wins, a special replay, a red 7 replay, and a blue 7 replay are performed by performing a stop operation in accordance with the stop order corresponding to the type. While either one wins and moves to RT2, by performing a stop operation in a stop order other than the stop order corresponding to the type, the fall replay wins and moves to RT1.

  Therefore, at RT0, when replay GR11-16 is selected, either special replay, red 7 replay, or blue 7 replay is won by operating in the order of stop according to the type, but if the type is not known, it is intended However, it is not possible to select the stop order according to the type, and if the stop order matches, it is possible to shift to RT2 by winning one of the special replay, red 7 replay, or blue 7 replay If the stop order does not match, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In addition, the stop order for winning the special replay and the stop order for winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay are also determined to be different depending on the types of the replays GR11 to GR16. For this reason, even when the replay GR11-16 is won at RT0, the stop order for winning the winning combination to be transferred to RT2, and the stopping order for winning the red 7 replay and blue 7 replay among the winning combinations to be transferred to RT2 Can be different.

  In this embodiment, the special replay, red 7 replay, and blue 7 replay win at an equal rate regardless of the stop order in which the stop operation is performed, and the player moves to RT2. Even if the stop operation is performed, it can be prevented from becoming extremely disadvantageous.

  In the present embodiment, when the replays GR21 to 23 are elected, as shown in FIG. 19, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different according to the type and stop order.

  For example, when the replay GR21 (middle replay + falling replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of the middle replay stops on the winning line LN, When the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, the fall replay combination stops on the winning line LN.

  The same applies to the replays GR22 and 23, and as shown in FIG. 19, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different depending on the type and stop order.

  As described above, when any of the replays GR21 to 23 to be selected at RT2 wins, the middle stage replay is won and RT2 is maintained by performing a stop operation in the order of stop according to the type. On the other hand, by performing a stop operation in a stop order other than the stop order corresponding to the type, the fall replay wins and moves to RT1.

  For this reason, when replay GR21 to 23 is won in RT2, the middle stage replay wins by operating in the stop order corresponding to the type, but if the type is not known, intentionally select the stop order according to the type If the stop order matches, RT2 can be maintained by winning the middle stage replay, but if the stop order does not match, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the middle stage replay wins at an equal rate and RT2 is maintained, so that no matter what stop order the player performs the stop operation, It can be prevented from becoming extremely disadvantageous.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the control is performed to any one of RT 0 to 4 and bonus (RB, RB in BB).

  RT0 shifts due to the promotion replay winning in RT1. Then, RT0 moves to RT1 due to a fall replay winning or transition stoppage, or any of special replay, red 7 replay, and blue 7 replay regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT0. The process is terminated by shifting to RT2 by winning a prize or by moving to RT4 when a special role is elected. The winning probability of the special role in RT0 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), the winning probability of the re-playing role is high (about 1 / 2.8), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (about 1 / 3.8) ), And the payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. In RT0, only the replay GRs 11 to 16 among the re-game players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RT1 shifts at RT0, RT2, RT3 when a fall replay is won or when a transition is stopped. Then, RT1 ends by shifting to RT0 by winning a promotion replay or shifting to RT4 by winning a special role, regardless of the number of games since shifting to RT1. The winning probability of the special role in RT1 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), similar to RT0, the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of the small role is RT0. Similarly, it is normal (about 1 / 3.8), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. In RT1, only normal replays and replays GR1 to GR6 among replaying players are targeted for internal lottery.

  RT2 shifts by winning a special replay at RT0. Then, regardless of the number of games after transitioning to RT2, RT2 is terminated by transitioning to RT1 by winning a fall replay or stopping the transitional outcome, or by transitioning to RT4 by winning a special role. The winning probability for special roles in RT2 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), similar to RT0, the winning probability for re-playing roles is higher than RT0 (about 1 / 1.5), and the winning probability for small roles is Like RT0, it is normal (about 1 / 3.8), and the payout rate of medals per game is 100% or more. Further, in RT2, only the normal replay and replay GRs 21 to 23 among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RT3 shifts to the end of the bonus (BB, RB). Then, RT3 is terminated by transitioning to RT1 by stopping the transition or regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT3, or by transitioning to RT4 by winning a special role. The winning probability of the special role in RT3 is normal (about 1 / 346.8), the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than RT0 (normally 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of the small role is normal (same as RT0) About 1 / 3.8), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. In RT3, only the normal replay among the re-game players is the target of the internal lottery.

  RT4 shifts by winning special roles (BB, RB) in RT0-3. RT4 ends when the special combination that triggered the transition to RT4 wins and shifts to a bonus (BB or RB) regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT4. In RT4, special roles are excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of re-playing roles is lower than RT2, but higher than RT0, RT1, RT3 and high probability (about 1 / 2.3). The probability is normal (about 1 / 3.8), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. Further, in RT4, only the normal replay among the re-game players is the target of the internal lottery.

  RB shifts due to RB winning in RT4. Then, the RB ends when 12 games are digested or the game is won six times. In RB, special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of small roles is higher than RT0-5 and has a high probability (about 1 / 1.1), and medals per game The payout rate is 100% or more.

  BB shifts by winning BB at RT4. The BB ends when the total number of medals paid out to the BB exceeds a specified number (316 in this embodiment) regardless of the number of games since the transition to the BB. In BB, since it is always controlled by the above-mentioned RB, the special combination and the re-playing combination are excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small combination is higher than RT0 to 5 and a high probability (about 1/1. 1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 100% or more.

  Among RT0 to 4, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB have the highest medal payout rate per game and are the most advantageous gaming state. RT0, RT4 of RT0-4 have a high probability of winning a re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1, 3, especially RT0 to RT2. It can be said that it is more advantageous for the player than RT1 and 3 in that it can be transferred. RT2 out of RT0, 2 and 4 can be said to be more advantageous to the player than RT0 and 4 in that the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT0 and 4.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 2, the main control unit 41 can execute a navigation notification for notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result. It is possible to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, when RB or BB ends, the process proceeds to RT3.

  In RT3, the process shifts to RT1 by stopping the transfer event, and shifts to RT4 by winning the special role. If the push order bell is won at RT3, the transition outcome may stop, so if the push order bell wins at RT3 that has transitioned after the end of RB or BB and the transition outcome stops, the transition to RT1 It becomes.

  In RT1, it shifts to RT0 by winning the promotion replay, and shifts to RT4 by winning the special role. Since the replays GR1 to 6 are won in RT1 and the promotion replay wins when the stop order is correct, in RT1, when the replays GR1 to 6 are selected and correct in the order of stoppage, the process proceeds to RT0. Become.

  At RT0, the player moves to RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, moves to RT2 by winning one of the special replay, red 7 replay, and blue 7 replay, and moves to RT4 by winning the special role. . Replay GR11-16 wins at RT0, special replay or red 7 replay or blue 7 replay wins when stop order is correct, and fall replay wins when stop order is incorrect In RT0, if the replays GR11 to 16 are elected and correct in the order of stoppage, the process proceeds to RT2, and if not correct in the order of stoppage, the process proceeds to RT1. Also, if the stopping order is the correct answer, and the stopping order is to win the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay, the stopping order in which the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is awarded and the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is awarded. If not, a special replay will be awarded.

  Also, because the push order bell wins at RT0 and the stoppage may stop because the stop order becomes incorrect, the RT0 moves to RT1 when the push order bell wins and does not answer correctly in the stop order Will be.

  In RT2, the game shifts to RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, and moves to RT4 by winning the special role. Since the replay GRs 21 to 23 are won in RT2 and the fall replay wins because the stop order becomes incorrect, the replay GRs 21 to 23 wins in RT2 and if the answer is not correct in the order of stop, go to RT1 Will be migrated.

  Also, because the push order bell wins at RT0 and the stoppage may stop because the stop order becomes incorrect, the RT0 moves to RT1 when the push order bell wins and does not answer correctly in the stop order Will be.

  RT4 shifts to RB or BB when the special combination that has triggered the transition to RT4 wins.

  When the main control unit 41 is controlled by the AT, the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state, and transmits a push order command to the sub control unit 91. In this way, the navigation effect is executed. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 6 when RT1, replay GR11 to 16 when RT0, and replay GR21 to 23 when RT2. Further, in any of RT0 to RT2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification by satisfying certain conditions even in a normal state (RT1 and non-AT state) where neither AT nor ART is controlled. It is possible to execute a navigation effect.

  The navigation notification according to the present embodiment notifies the stop order advantageous for the player in an identifiable manner by changing the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. The navigation notification mode will be described in detail later.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment notifies the stop order advantageous for the player notified by the navigation notification by displaying the navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and the output of the navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54.

  For example, when informing the stop order of the left middle right stop switch 8L such as “123” (indicating that the left reel is the first stop, the middle reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop), A stop order image indicating the stop order of 8C and 8R is displayed. In addition, as the navigation voice, for example, “left middle right!” (Indicating that the left reel is the first stop, the middle reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop) Is output.

  When the stop order in which the left reel is first stopped is notified, the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R such as “1--” (indicating that the left reel is the first stop) is indicated. Display stop order images. Further, as the navigation voice, for example, “left!” (Indicating that the left reel is in the first stop) (indicating that the left reel is in the first stop) indicating the stop switch stop order is output. To do. Further, in particular, when the replay GRs 11 to 16 are elected at RT0 and the stop order in which the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins is notified, red 7 and blue 7 are added to each reel in addition to the stop order image described above. An image that prompts a stop operation at a target timing is also displayed, and a stop operation at that timing is prompted.

  In the navigation notification and the navigation effect, when any one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won in RT1, the stop order in which the promotion replay wins is identifiable in an identifiable manner. Also, when any of the replays GR11 to 16 is won at RT0, the stop order in which the special replay, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay wins is identifiable in an identifiable manner. Further, when any of the replays GR21 to GR23 wins at RT2, the stop order in which the middle stage replay wins is notified in an identifiable manner.

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

  As described above, in the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the stop order that is advantageous to the player is notified in an identifiable manner. For this reason, the player can intentionally win the promotion replay at RT1 and win the middle bell by performing stop operations in the order of stop according to the navigation effect, and the special replay or red 7 at RT0. Replay, blue 7 replay win, middle bell win, fall replay win avoidance, stoppage of transitions can be avoided, middle bell win at RT2, fall replay It is possible to avoid winning a prize and stopping the transitional outcome.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs an ART lottery to determine whether or not to control to ART (state controlled by AT in RT2) when the lottery condition is satisfied. Further, the main control unit 41 selects a specified number of games from a plurality of games at the end of ART, BB, or RB, and continues to any of ART, BB, and RB from the end of ART, BB, or RB. Count the number of games that are not controlled.

  Then, the main control unit 41 wins the ART lottery, and the number of games that are not controlled by any of ART, BB, and RB from the end of the precursor period or ART, BB, or RB from the end of the ART, BB, or RB Control to ART by reaching the number. When the main control unit 41 determines to control to ART, the main control unit 41 also determines timing for starting control to the AT (such as how many games will be started after digestion).

  In the case of controlling to the ART, when the timing for starting the control to the AT is reached, the control is first performed to the AT. The state from the start of the AT control to the transition to RT2 is also referred to as a preparation state.

  The main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the target combination is won in the preparation state. At this time, in RT1, when the replays GR1 to 6 are won, navigation notification is performed, and when the replays GR1 to 6 are won, the stop order for winning the promoted replay is notified by the navigation notification, so stop according to the notified stop order. By performing the operation, it is possible to shift the promotion replay from RT1 to RT0. In addition, after shifting to the preparation state, in any gaming state of RT0 to 2, since the stop order for winning the middle bell is notified when the push order bell is won, the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. Thus, it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals.

  After the promoted replay wins at RT1 and shifts to RT0, it will be the target of navigation notification when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, and when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, the special replay is selected in the stop order, red 7 replay or blue 7 Since the stop order for winning one of the replays is notified by the navigation notification, by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order, one of the special replay, the red 7 replay, and the blue 7 replay is awarded and from RT0 It is possible to make the transition to RT2, avoid the winning of the fall replay, and avoid the transition to RT1. Whether to notify the stop order for winning the special replay or to notify the stop order for winning either the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay will be described later with reference to FIG. In addition, as described above, when the push order bell is won, the stop order for winning the middle bell is informed, so it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. At the same time, it is possible to avoid the stop of the transition and avoid the transition to RT1.

  After AT is started, any of special replay, red 7 replay, and blue 7 replay wins at RT0, and the preparation state is ended by controlling to RT2 for the first time during the AT, and control to ART Is started. Accordingly, the main control unit 41 performs an ART game number lottery to determine the number of ART games, sets the number of games won in the ART game number lottery as the remaining number of ART games allocated to the RAM 91c, and Start counting remaining games. The ART game number lottery is not limited to the one that is performed when the control to the ART is started, but is performed when the control to the ART is determined, and the number of the ART games is determined before the ART is controlled. It may be what has been done.

  When ART is started after the transition to RT2, navigation notification for notifying the stop order for winning the middle stage replay when the replays GR21 to 23 are won is executed, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. By performing the above, it is possible to win the middle stage replay, avoid the fall replay win, and avoid the transition to RT1. In addition, as described above, when the push order bell is won, the stop order for winning the middle bell is informed, so it is possible to reliably obtain 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. At the same time, it is possible to avoid the stop of the transition and avoid the transition to RT1.

  After the ART starts, the stop order for winning the middle bell when the push order bell is won will be notified, so it is possible to reliably acquire 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. At the same time, it is possible to avoid the stop of the transition and avoid the transition to RT1.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 performs an extra lottery that determines whether or not to add the number of ART games when the lottery condition is satisfied during the ART. Then, when the winning lottery is won, the ART game number lottery for determining the number of ART games is performed in the same manner as at the start of ART, and the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is determined as the remaining ART allocated to the RAM 91c. Add to the number of games.

  In addition, after the start of ART, every time one game is consumed, the number of remaining games is decremented by 1, and if a special role is elected before the remaining number of games reaches 0, the ART is interrupted by the end of RT2. Accordingly, the counting of the number of ART games is also interrupted. After that, the winning bonus is awarded to the corresponding bonus and the corresponding bonus is controlled. When the transition is stopped at RT3 after the bonus ends, AT control is resumed when the transition to RT1 is resumed. After passing through RT2, the ART is restarted by moving again to RT2, and the counting of the remaining number of games in the ART is also restarted.

  If the stop operation is performed according to the stop order notified during the ART, neither the falling replay nor the transitional outcome may stop, but the notification will be made by mistaken stop operation. If the stop operation is performed in a different stop order than the stop order, a fall replay prize or a transitional outage will occur. In this case, the player will be transferred to RT1. However, even after the transition to RT1, the effects during the ART such as the background screen and sound effects during the ART are maintained and the control to the AT is continued. Since control to the AT is continued, the number of remaining AT games is decremented by 1 every time one game is consumed. As a result, even if it falls from ART to RT1, navigation notification is performed up to the number of AT remaining games, and it is possible to control ART again.

  If the number of remaining games becomes 0 after the start of ART, the AT control is terminated. As a result, the navigation notification is not executed, so it becomes impossible to avoid the stop of the transitional outcome when winning the push order bell, and it is impossible to avoid the winning of the fall replay when winning the replay GR21-23. By shifting to RT1 by stopping the game or winning the fall replay, a series of AT and ART controls are completed.

  In this embodiment, after the internal lottery, as described above, the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command that can specify the result of the internal lottery to the sub control unit 91. It is possible to produce an effect according to the result of the internal lottery specified.

  The main control unit 41 is in a state where navigation notification is performed when a notification target combination (push order bell, replay GR1 to 6, replay GR11 to 16, replay GR21 to 23) that is a target of navigation notification in the internal lottery is won. If the navigation notification is performed during AT or non-AT, a first internal winning command that can identify the type of the winning role to be notified and the stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted. If the notification is not performed (when the navigation notification is not performed during non-AT), the type of the winning notification target role can be specified, but the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified. Send internal winning command.

  Note that the main control unit 41 is a non-notification target role (BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + strong cherry, RB + weak cherry, RB +, which is not subject to navigation notification in the internal lottery. If watermelon, RB + common bell, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay) is won, the stop order advantageous for the player does not change, and whether navigation notification is performed or not Regardless, the second internal winning command that can identify the type of winning combination is transmitted.

  Here, the first internal winning command that can identify the type of the winning notification target role and the stop order advantageous to the player is, for example, if the winning notification target role type is the push order bell, The order bell wins, an advantageous stop order, that is, the stop order for avoiding the stop of the transition and the middle bell winning is the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, or the middle reel is the first stop This is a command that can specify whether the stop order is the stop order or the stop order that the right reel is the first stop. Specifically, the type of push order bell (left bell 1-4, middle bell) For example, commands that can specify 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4) are applicable. In addition, when the type of the notification target role selected is replay GR1-6, the fact that one of replays GR1-6 has won, the advantageous stop order, that is, the stop order in which the promotion replay wins, Stop order, left / right / middle stop order, middle / left / right stop order, middle right / left stop order, right / left / middle stop order, right / middle / left stop order Or, specifically, a command that can specify which of the replays GR1 to GR6 is selected.

  In addition, when the type of the notification target role selected is replay GR11-16, that either of the replay GR11-16 has won, an advantageous stop order, that is, avoiding the winning of the falling replay, and special replay or red The stop order in which the 7 replay or blue 7 replay wins is the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop, or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop Or a command that can specify which of the replays GR11 to 16 is selected. In addition, when the type of the notified subject role selected is replay GR21 to 23, it is avoided that one of the replays GR21 to 23 has been won, an advantageous stop order, that is, a winning of the falling replay, and the middle stage replay is won. It is possible to specify whether the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop, or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop Specifically, it corresponds to a command that can specify which of the replay GRs 21 to 23 is won.

  In addition, the second internal winning command in which the type of the winning notification target role can be specified but the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified is, for example, the case where the winning notification target role type is a push order bell Is a command that can specify that the push order bell has been won, but cannot specify an advantageous stop order. Specifically, only the push order bell can be specified and its type (left bell 1 -4, middle bells 1 to 4, right bells 1 to 4) correspond to commands that cannot be specified. In addition, when the type of the winning notification target role is replay GR1 to 6, it is possible to specify that any of the replays GR1 to GR6 has been won, but it is a command in which an advantageous stop order cannot be specified. Specifically, it is possible to specify that only one of the replays GR1 to GR6 has been won, and a command that cannot be specified to which of the replays GR1 to GR6 is specified. In addition, when the type of the winning notification target role is Replay GR11-16, it is possible to specify that any of Replay GR11-16 has been won, but it is a command in which an advantageous stop order cannot be specified. Specifically, it is possible to specify only that one of the replays GR11 to 16 has been won, and a command that cannot be specified to which of the replays GR11 to 16 is specified. In addition, when the type of the winning notification target combination is Replay GR21 to 23, it is possible to specify that any of Replay GR21 to 23 has been won, but it is a command in which an advantageous stop order cannot be specified. Specifically, it is possible to specify only that one of the replays GR21 to 23 has been won, and a command that cannot be specified to which of the replays GR21 to 23 is applicable.

  As described above, in the internal lottery, when the notification target combination (push order bell, replay GR1 to 6, replay GR11 to 16, replay GR21 to 23) is won, a state in which navigation notification is performed (during AT or during non-AT) In the case where navigation notification is performed), the first internal winning command that can specify the type of the winning notification target role and the stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted, and the navigation notification is not performed (non-notification). If the navigation notification is not performed during the AT), the second internal winning command is transmitted in which the type of the winning notification target role can be specified but the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified. The sub-control unit 91 can execute a navigation effect that can identify an advantageous stop order identified from the first internal winning command if the notification target combination is won and navigation notification is performed. If the notification target combination is won and navigation notification is not performed, a specific type of notification target combination can be selected according to the type of notification target combination specified from the first internal winning command. It is possible to perform an effect that suggests sex.

  Next, the control content when the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, for each winning combination, the first internal winning command and the second internal winning command are set for the notification target combination, and the second internal winning command is set for the non-notifying target combination in the ROM 41b. The internal winning command table is stored. In the internal winning command table, the second internal winning command corresponding to the notification target combination is set to one second internal winning command for each type of notification target combination. Specifically, one second internal winning command that can specify that one of the push order bells is won is set corresponding to the push order bell, and the replay GR1 corresponding to the replays GR1 to GR6. A second internal winning command that can specify that any one of -6 is elected is set, and one of the replay GRs 11-16 is identified corresponding to the replay GR11-16 One possible second internal winning command is set, and one second internal winning command that can specify that one of the replay GRs 21 to 23 is winning is set corresponding to the replay GR 21 to 23 ing.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20, first, in the internal winning command setting process executed after the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 reads the internal winning flag set by the internal lottery (Sa01) and executes navigation notification. (Sa02) and if it is determined that the navigation notification is to be executed in step Sa02, the first internal winning command table corresponding to the winning combination based on the internal winning flag read in Sa01 is stored in the first internal winning command table. It is determined whether or not a command is set (Sa03).

  If the first internal winning command is set in the internal winning command table corresponding to the winning combination in the step of Sa03, that is, if the winning combination is a notification target combination, the first internal corresponding to the winning combination The winning command is read from the internal winning command table and set in the command queue (Sa04). On the other hand, when the first internal winning command is not set in the internal winning command table corresponding to the winning combination in the step of Sa03, that is, when the winning combination is a non-notifying target combination, the second corresponding to the winning combination is set. Are read from the internal winning command table and set in the command queue (Sa05).

  If it is determined in step Sa02 that the navigation notification is not executed, the second internal winning command corresponding to the winning combination based on the internal winning flag read in Sa01 is read from the internal winning command table and set in the command queue. (Sa05).

  Further, the internal winning command set in the command queue in the steps of Sa04 and Sa05 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 in the subsequent timer interrupt process (main).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the first internal winning command and the second internal winning command are set for the notification target combination in the ROM 41b for each winning combination, and the second internal winning command is set for the non-notifying target combination. Is stored, and the second internal winning command corresponding to the notification target role in the internal winning command table is one second internal winning command for each type of notification target role. When the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification after the internal lottery, if the first internal winning command is set in the internal winning command table corresponding to the winning combination, The first internal winning command that can specify the type of the notified role and the stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and the internal winning corresponding to the winning combination is transmitted. If the first internal winning command is not set in the command table, the second internal winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. On the other hand, if the navigation notification is not executed, Since the second internal winning command in which the type can be specified but the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, the navigation notification is not executed on the main control unit 41 side. An advantageous stop order corresponding to the result of the internal lottery from the internal winning command is not specified by the sub-control unit 91.

  In this embodiment, after the internal lottery, the internal winning flag is read and the internal winning command is set. However, when the internal winning flag is set in the internal lottery, the internal winning command may be set. good.

  Next, a first modification of the control content when the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the first modified example, as in the above embodiment, the first internal winning command and the second internal winning command are set for the notification target combination in the ROM 41b for each winning combination, and the second is set for the non-notifying target combination. The internal winning command table in which the internal winning command is stored is stored, and the second internal winning command corresponding to the notification target role in the internal winning command table is one second for each type of notification target role. An internal winning command is set.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 21, the main control unit 41 first reads the internal winning flag set by the internal lottery in the internal winning command setting process to be executed after the internal lottery (Sb01), and the internal winning read by Sb01 It is determined whether or not the winning combination based on the winning flag is a notification target combination (Sb02).

  If it is a notification target combination in the step of Sb02, it is further determined whether or not navigation notification is to be executed (Sb03). If navigation notification is executed in the step of Sb03, the winning notification target combination is individually identified. (Sb04), the first internal winning command corresponding to the notification target combination individually specified in the step of Sb04 is read from the internal winning command table and set in the command queue (Sb05).

  On the other hand, if it is not a notification target combination in step Sb02, or if navigation notification is not executed in step Sb03, the second internal winning command corresponding to the winning combination is read from the internal winning command table and set in the command queue ( Sb06).

  In addition, the internal winning command set in the command queue in steps Sb05 and Sb06 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 in the subsequent timer interrupt process (main).

  Thus, in the first modification, for each winning combination, the first internal winning command and the second internal winning command are set for the notification target combination in the ROM 41b, and the second internal winning command is set for the non-notifying target combination. Is stored, and the second internal winning command corresponding to the notification target role in the internal winning command table is one second internal winning command for each type of notification target role. The main control unit 41, after the internal lottery, determines that the winning combination is a notification target combination and, when performing navigation notification, individually identifies the winning notification target combination and wins the notification target The first internal winning command that can specify the type of combination and the stopping order advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, while the winning combination is the notification target combination but the navigation notification is executed. If not, the second internal winning command is sent to the sub-control unit 91. The main control unit can transmit the second internal winning command that can specify the type of the notification target role that is selected but cannot specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player. When navigation notification is not executed on the 41st side, an advantageous stop order corresponding to the result of the internal lottery from the internal winning command is not specified by the sub-control unit 91.

  In the first modification, after the internal lottery, the internal winning flag is read and the internal winning command is set. However, when the internal winning flag is set in the internal lottery, the internal winning command may be set. good.

  Next, a second modification of the control content when the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the second modification, an internal winning command table in which an internal winning command is set for each winning combination is stored in the ROM 41b. Moreover, in the modified example 2, when the navigation notification is executed for the notification target combination in the internal lottery, the lottery target combination (for example, different advantageous stop order for one type of notification target combination (for example, push order bell)) When the winning notification is individually determined for each of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4), when the navigation notification is not executed, one type of notification target role (for example, push Regardless of the advantageous stopping order, the winning combination is determined collectively as one type of lottery subject (for example, pressing order bell), and one type is used when the navigation notification is executed. One of a plurality of types of lottery objects (for example, left bell 1 to 4, middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4) having different advantageous stopping orders with respect to the notification target combination (for example, push order bell) is won. If you choose to win, When navigation notification is not executed, one type of lottery target role (for example, push order bell) corresponding to one type of notification target role (for example, push order bell) is won. In this case, the internal winning flag having a value different from the internal winning flag set when the navigation notification is executed even if the types of notification target roles are the same is set in the internal winning command table. In addition, an internal winning flag that is set when one of a plurality of types of lottery targets having different advantageous stopping orders for one type of notification target combination is won, and one type of lottery target corresponding to one type of notification target combination Internal winning flags set when the winning combination is won, and different internal winning commands are set corresponding to each.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to perform navigation notification in the internal lottery (Sc01), and when executing the navigation notification in the step of Sc01, The individual lottery for individually determining the winning for each lottery target role having a different advantageous stop order for the notification target role is performed (Sc02). In the individual lottery, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), for one type of notification target combination (for example, push order bell), lottery target combinations (for example, left bells 1 to 4) constituting the type of notification target combination. , Middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4), it is determined whether or not the internal lottery random value falls within the winning range (specifically, whether or not the added value overflows). The winning of the lottery target role within the winning range is determined, and an internal winning flag corresponding to the selected lottery target role among the lottery target roles constituting the notification target role of the type is set.

  Further, when navigation notification is not executed in the step of Sc01, a single lottery target role (for example, push order bell) is provided regardless of an advantageous stop order for one type of notification target role (for example, push order bell). A collective lottery for determining winning in a batch is performed (Sc03). In the collective lottery, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), for one type of notification target combination (for example, push order bell), a lottery target combination (for example, push order bell) that summarizes the type of notification target combination. It is determined whether or not the internal lottery random value falls within the winning range (specifically, whether or not the added value overflows). When the internal lottery random value falls within the winning range, For example, it is determined whether or not a winning order bell) is won, and an internal winning flag corresponding to the notification target combination of the type is set.

It should be noted that, except for the notification target combination, whether or not the winning combination is determined as usual.
Then, the internal winning command corresponding to the internal winning flag set in the individual lottery in the Sc02 step or the collective lottery in the Sc03 step is read from the internal winning command table and set in the command queue (Sc04).

  In addition, the internal winning command set in the command queue in the step of Sc04 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 in the subsequent timer interrupt process (main).

  In addition, although not shown in particular, when navigation notification is not executed, if the role to be notified is won, after the internal lottery, a stop order selection lottery that selects an advantageous stop order from a plurality of types of stop orders is performed, The advantageous stopping order changes according to the result.

  As described above, in the second modification, the ROM 41b stores the internal winning command table in which the internal winning command is set for each winning combination, and an advantageous stop order for one type of notification target combination in the internal winning command table. An internal winning flag that is set when one of a plurality of types of lottery targets with different numbers is won, an internal winning flag that is set when one type of lottery target corresponding to one type of notification target role is won, Different internal winning commands are set corresponding to each, and the main control unit 41, when navigation notification is executed in the internal lottery, the lottery target roles having different advantageous stopping orders for one type of notification target role An individual lottery for individually determining the winning combination is performed, and an internal winning command corresponding to the winning combination is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, while an internal lottery is performed. In the case where navigation notification is not executed in this case, regardless of the advantageous stop order for one type of notification target combination, a collective lottery for determining a winning combination as one type of lottery target combination is performed, and the internal corresponding to the winning combination The winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. In other words, the internal winning command transmitted when a lottery subject with a different advantageous stop order for one type of notification target combination wins can specify the type of the notified notification target combination and the stop order advantageous for the player. The internal winning command that is sent as one internal winning command and is sent when one type of notification target combination is won can specify the type of the notification target combination that is selected, but the stop order that is advantageous to the player is specified Since it is designed to be transmitted as a second internal winning command that cannot be performed, when the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification, an advantageous stop order corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is determined from the internal winning command. It is not specified by the sub control unit 91.

  In the modified example 2, the internal winning command is set when the internal winning flag is set in the internal lottery. However, after the internal lottery, the internal winning flag is read and the internal winning flag is set. good.

  20 to 22, when performing navigation notification and winning a notification target combination, in Sa04, Sb05, and Sc04, it is possible to specify an advantageous stop order corresponding to the selected notification target combination. An example in which a winning command is set has been described. For the replay GRs 11 to 16 among the notification target roles, an advantageous stop order includes a stop order for winning a special replay and a stop order for winning either a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay. For this reason, when the navigation notification is executed and one of the replays GR11 to 16 is won, the process shown in FIG. 24 is further executed in Sa04, Sb05, and Sc04, and an advantageous stop order corresponding to the state is executed. An internal winning command that can identify the is set.

  FIG. 24 shows the case where the navigation notification is executed, and the replay during AT is executed when the replay GR 11-16 is won and the internal winning command is set in Sa04, Sb05, Sc04 in FIGS. It is a flowchart which shows the control content of the internal winning command setting process at the time of GR11-16 winning.

  The state in which the replays GR11 to 16 can be won is during RT0 as shown in FIG. In addition, during AT and during RT0, for example, during the preparation state from when AT is elected and AT is started until the transition to RT2, and after AT starts, the transition to RT2 is started and ART is started, but the stop operation Stop operation in a stop order different from the stop order notified by mistake, etc., and after falling to RT1 due to a fall replay winning or transition stop, etc., fall down to RT2 again There is a state.

  In Sd01 of FIG. 24, it is determined whether or not it is in a preparation state. When it is determined that it is in the preparation state, the process proceeds to Sd02, and an internal winning command (first internal winning command) that can specify the stop order for generating the red 7 replay winning or the blue 7 replay winning is determined. Read from the command table and set to the command queue. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not in the preparation state, that is, in the fall state, the process proceeds to Sd03, and an internal winning command (first internal winning command) that can specify the stop order for generating the special replay winning is obtained. Read from internal winning command table and set to command queue. As a result, when the preparation is in progress and the ART has not yet started, the stop order image for generating the red 7 replay winning or the blue 7 replay winning and the stop at the timing targeting red 7 and blue 7 It is possible to display an image prompting an operation. As a result, a red 7 replay winning that allows red 7 alignment or a blue 7 replay winning that enables blue 7 alignment can be made and notification that ART is started can be made. On the other hand, when it is in the fall state and the ART start has already been notified, it is possible to prevent the notification from the display result that the control to the ART is resumed by making a special replay winning.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment, when a red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning occurs in a game in which a stop order for red 7 winning or blue 7 replay winning is announced during AT, Specific control shown in FIG. 25 is performed. When a red 7 replay prize or a blue 7 replay prize occurs during the AT, the main control unit 41 is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game (for example, the timing at which BET is possible), and An ART signal indicating that control to the ART is started is output from the main control unit 41 to the outside of the slot machine 1. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 40, the predetermined timing for controlling the freeze state is that red 7 is aligned on invalid line LM2 or blue 7 is aligned on invalid line LM4 when a red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning occurs. It is determined to be different depending on whether or not. When red 7 is aligned on invalid line LM2 or blue 7 is aligned on invalid line LM4, the red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning is controlled in a frozen state, and red on invalid line LM2 is controlled. It is determined that when the next 7 games are not aligned or blue 7 is not aligned on the invalid line LM4, the freeze state is controlled when the next game is started.

  For example, the ART signal can be used to manage and display the game history of all the gaming machines installed in the game hall, as well as the data display capable of managing and displaying the gaming history of the slot machines installed at the top of the slot machine 1 Is output to a large hall management computer. The ART signal has a common timing (regardless of whether red 7 is aligned on invalid line LM2 or blue 7 is aligned on invalid line LM4 when red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning occurs. For example, when a winning occurs), it is output externally.

  Further, when controlled to the freeze state, the sub-control unit 91 is controlled to the freeze state based on commands from the main control unit 41 such as the first internal winning command and the stop operation command, as will be described later. In the freeze state, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a title indicating that the ART is started, the effect effect LED 52 is lit in a predetermined manner, and a predetermined sound effect is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The title display is determined to be different depending on whether red 7 is aligned on invalid line LM2 or blue 7 is aligned on invalid line LM4 when a red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning occurs. Yes. In the title display, the number of ART games specified based on the ART lottery result command is also displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Even when the red 7 replay winning or the blue 7 replay winning occurs, the specific control is not performed when the AT is not in progress. Further, even when the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay are won, the navigation notification is performed to notify the stop order for winning the red 7 replay and the blue 7 replay as will be described later with reference to FIG. If not, specific control is not performed. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 25, the specific control is not performed even when the special replay wins.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command that can specify the result of the internal lottery to the sub-control unit 91, so that the sub control unit 91 specifies the result of the internal lottery and is controlled by the AT. In such a case, the stop order advantageous to the player is notified based on the result of the specified internal lottery. In such a configuration, a command indicating the result of the internal lottery is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 regardless of whether or not it is controlled by the AT, and all the results of the internal lottery can be specified. In this case, it is advantageous for the player according to the result of the internal lottery command from the internal winning command despite the fact that the sub-control unit 91 side is improper but the main control unit 41 side has not decided to control the AT. Even if the stop order is specified and the AT is not controlled, there is a possibility that the advantageous stop order is notified.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in the internal lottery, when the notification target combination (push order bell, replay GR 1 to 6, replay GR 11 to 16, replay GR 21 to 23) is won, a state in which navigation notification is performed (during AT) If the navigation notification is performed during non-AT), the first internal winning command that can specify the type of the winning role to be notified and the stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted, and the navigation notification is performed. If it is in a state that is not missed (when navigation notification is not performed during non-AT), the second internal winning command in which the type of the winning notification target role can be specified but the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified Therefore, when the navigation notification is not executed on the main control unit 41 side, an advantageous stop order corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is not specified from the internal winning command, so the sub control 91 side is made invalid advantageously be other than a state where the navigation notification is executing operations sequence can be prevented from being informed.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the push order bell is won, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order corresponding to the push order bell type, the middle bell that is relatively advantageous to the player is won. When the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the stop order corresponding to the type of push order bell, control is performed so that the middle bell is not won, and at the time of winning the common bell, regardless of the stop order, Control capable of winning the middle bell is performed. When the push order bell is won, if the navigation notification is performed (when the navigation notification is performed during AT or non-AT), it is advantageous for the player that the push order wins. If the first internal winning command that can also specify the stop order, that is, the stop order for winning the middle bell, is transmitted and the navigation notification is not performed (when the navigation notification is not performed during non-AT), it is pressed. While a second internal winning command is sent that can identify that the order bell has won but cannot determine the stop order that is advantageous to the player, the middle bell is allowed to win, as with the push order bell, The first internal winning command corresponding to the push order bell regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is executed at the time of winning the common bell that enables the middle bell to win in any stop order. And push Since the second internal winning command corresponding to the common bell which is different from the second internal winning command corresponding to the forward bell and can identify that the common bell has been won is transmitted, the sub-control unit On the 91st side, in the situation where the middle bell can win, whether the middle bell can be won if it is not operated in the stop order corresponding to the push order bell or whether the middle bell can win regardless of the stop order can do. In particular, when it is specified that the middle bell can be won regardless of the stop order, it is possible to perform an effect suggesting the possibility that the middle bell can win regardless of the stop order.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 26, the content and execution rate of navigation notification during AT will be described. When a notification target combination is won in an internal lottery during AT, navigation notification that suggests a stop order advantageous to the player is always executed. Thereby, it becomes possible to perform stop operation in an advantageous stop order, and the game can be advanced in an advantageous state.

  On the other hand, if the non-notification target combination that has not been won for the notification target combination in the internal lottery during the AT but has been selected as one of the winning combinations, “?” Is displayed as the predetermined effect on the liquid crystal display 51. The navigation notification displayed on the screen is executed at a rate of 50%. Further, even when the winning combination is not won, navigation notification for displaying “?” On the liquid crystal display 51 is executed at a rate of 100% during ART. For this reason, when the navigation notification of “?” Is performed during ART, it can be notified that there is a possibility that a winning combination will occur or one of the non-notification target combinations may occur.

  Further, as described above, when the stop order is wrong in ART, the AT continues, but there is a possibility that it falls into a fall state under the control of RT1. In the fall state, as shown in FIG. 14, as a result of the replay winning probability being lower than in the RT2 that becomes the ART, the rate of loss increases. In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when it falls off in the fall state, the navigation notification as a predetermined performance similar to that during ART is performed during the ART and the same as the non-notification target winning combination. It is stipulated to execute at a rate. As shown in FIG. 26, when the fall state falls off during RT1, navigation notification for displaying “?” On the liquid crystal display 51 is executed at a rate of 14%, and the fall state falls off during RT0. When it becomes, navigation notification for displaying “?” On the liquid crystal display 51 is executed at a rate of 21%. As a result, even when there is a deviation that can occur at a higher rate in the fall state than during ART, navigation notification during ART can also be used and executed at the same frequency as during ART.

  Also, in this embodiment, the common bell is a lottery target role that may be won at the same time as BB with a transition to BB advantageous for the player and RB with a transition to RB advantageous for the player. Since the possibility of winning BB or RB is suggested by winning a bell, the possibility of winning BB or RB is determined by an internal winning command corresponding to the common bell on the sub-control unit 91 side. Since it is possible to specify that the suggested middle bell win is won, it is possible to perform an effect that makes BB or RB win expected in such a situation.

  In this embodiment, when the push order bell is won, if the navigation notification is made, it is advantageous for the player that the push order bell is won, that is, the stop order for winning the middle bell. If the first internal winning command that can be specified is transmitted and the navigation notification is not performed, it is possible to specify that the pushing order bell has been won, but it is not possible to specify the stopping order that is advantageous to the player. While the internal winning command of 2 is transmitted, in the same way as the push order bell, the middle bell is allowed to win, and the middle bell can be won in any stop order. Regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is executed, the internal winning command is different from the first internal winning command corresponding to the push order bell and the second internal winning command corresponding to the push order bell. The configuration is such that the second internal winning command corresponding to the common bell that can identify that the bell has been won is transmitted. If the first internal winning command that can specify the winning procedure and the operation procedure advantageous to the player is transmitted and the navigation notification is not performed, it is possible to determine that the notification target role has been won. The operation procedure advantageous to the player is transmitted with the second internal winning command that cannot be specified. On the other hand, the advantage display result is allowed to be derived as in the case of the notification target combination, and any operation procedure is advantageous display. When the result of the specific lottery that allows the result to be derived is obtained, the first internal winning command corresponding to the notification target combination and the notification target combination are determined regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is executed. Even in the case where a second internal winning command that is different from the corresponding second internal winning command and can specify that a specific lottery result has been transmitted is transmitted in the same manner as described above. In the situation where the advantageous display result can be derived on the control unit 91 side, the advantageous display result can be derived regardless of the operation procedure if the advantageous display result cannot be derived unless the operation procedure corresponding to the notification target role is operated. Can be specified.

  For example, when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won, if the navigation notification is performed, the first internal winning command that can specify that the replays GR1 to GR6 have won and the operation procedure advantageous to the player is transmitted. If the navigation notification is not performed, it is possible to specify that the replays GR1 to GR6 have been won, but the operation procedure advantageous to the player is not specified, while the second internal winning command is transmitted. As with the replays GR1 to GR6, navigation notification is executed when the winning result of the promotion replay is allowed and a specific lottery result that allows the promotion replay to be derived in any operation procedure is obtained. Regardless of whether or not the first internal winning command corresponding to the replays GR1 to 6 and the second internal winning command corresponding to the replays GR1 to 6 are different. A winning command, even if the second internal winning command which can be specified that a particular lottery results are configured to be transmitted, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Also in such a configuration, a lottery result that a specific lottery result may be won at the same time as a BB accompanied by a transition to BB advantageous for a player and an RB accompanied by a transition to RB advantageous for a player. It is preferable that there is a possibility that winning display results such as promotion replay are derived by this, so that it may be suggested that BB or RB is won. In this situation, it is possible to specify that derivation of an advantageous display result that suggests the possibility of winning BB or RB is permitted by an internal winning command corresponding to a specific lottery result. It is also possible to produce an effect that expects to be won.

  In the present embodiment, the stop order is applied as an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player when the notification target role is elected, but an operation procedure that operates at any one of a plurality of different operation timings, Any operation procedure that is operated in any one of the stop orders, or an operation procedure based on a combination thereof may be applied as an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the notification target combination is won in the internal lottery, if the navigation notification is performed, the type of the selected notification target combination and the stop order advantageous for the player can be specified. If the internal winning command is transmitted and navigation notification is not performed, the type of the winning notification target role can be specified, but the stop order advantageous for the player cannot be specified. When the navigation notification is not executed on the main control unit 41 side by being transmitted, an advantageous stop order according to the result of the internal lottery is not specified from the internal winning command. In this case, when the notification target combination is won, regardless of whether or not navigation notification is performed, the type of the notified notification target combination can be specified, but the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified. If the navigation notification is performed, an advantageous procedure command that can specify a stop order that is advantageous for the player according to the type of the winning notification target role is transmitted separately from the internal winning command. On the other hand, if the navigation notification is not performed, the advantageous procedure command is not transmitted, and if the navigation notification is not executed on the main control unit 41 side, the advantage corresponding to the result of the internal lottery from the command is performed. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a specific stop order is not specified.

  In addition, when the notification target role is won in the internal lottery, if the navigation notification is performed, an internal winning command that can specify the type of the winning notification target role and the stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted, If navigation notification is not performed, the internal winning command is not transmitted, and if navigation notification is not executed on the main control unit 41 side, an advantageous stop order corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is specified from the command. It is good also as a structure which is not done.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the notification target combination is won in the internal lottery, if the navigation notification is performed, the advantageous operation procedure includes a plurality of procedures (for example, in the replays GR1 to GR6, the first The operation procedure in which the stop reel is in the correct order and the second stop reel is also in the correct order) is notified of all of the multiple procedures, and the multiple procedures from the first internal winning command transmitted at that time However, when a notification target combination is won in the internal lottery, in the case of performing partial navigation notification that notifies only a part of the operation procedures among advantageous operation procedures consisting of a plurality of procedures ( For example, when only the first stop reel that is the correct answer is notified, when the advantageous operation procedure is a specific stop order and a specific timing, only the stop order or timing is notified. For example, the internal winning command may be transmitted so that only a part of the advantageous operation procedure notified by the partial navigation notification can be specified. In the state where only a part of the advantageous operation procedure is notified, not all of the advantageous operation procedures corresponding to the result of the internal lottery are specified from the internal winning command, so that the sub-control unit 91 side is illegal. Even if it is made, it is possible to prevent all of the advantageous operation procedures from being notified except in a state where the navigation notification in which all of the advantageous operation procedures are notified is executed.

  Further, in principle, the notification target combination in the present embodiment is different in the operation procedure for deriving the advantageous display result according to the lottery target combination constituting the notification target combination, and the advantageous display result can be derived. A lottery result whose operation procedure does not change even if it is a random lottery result (for example, a role that may be missed depending on the operation timing of watermelon, horn cherry, etc.) is not a notification target role. In addition, even if the operation procedure for deriving the advantageous display result according to the lottery target role is different, the lottery result for deriving the chance item etc. by deliberately triggering the missed event (for example, if the chance item is missed) A lottery result that is not intended to affect the player's advantage due to the presence or absence of a notification, such as a single winning combination, etc., may not be subject to notification, and if such a lottery result is obtained The configuration may be such that the first internal winning command that can identify the type of winning combination and the operation procedure advantageous to the player is transmitted.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the notification target combination is won, the advantage display result (which is always advantageous to the player when operated by the operation procedure corresponding to the type of the lottery target combination constituting the notification target combination) ( Middle bell, promotion replay, special replay, red 7 replay, blue 7 replay, etc.) are derived, but when operated according to the operation procedure according to the type of lottery target role constituting the notification target role, Further, when the operation is performed according to a specific operation procedure that does not vary depending on the type of the lottery target role constituting the notification target role, an advantageous display result is derived, and a derivation operation means is performed using an operation procedure other than the specific operation procedure. When the is operated, control for deriving a display result other than the advantageous display result may be performed. In this case, the specific operation procedure that does not vary depending on the type of the lottery target combination constituting the notification target combination is, for example, operated in the stop order according to the type of the lottery target combination constituting the notification target combination. And an operation procedure operated at a specific operation timing, an operation timing according to the type of a lottery target combination constituting a notification target combination in one reel, and an operation operation at a specific operation timing in another reel. This corresponds to the operating procedure.

  Also, in this embodiment, as with the push order bell, the middle bell wins when the left reel is operated at a specific timing, regardless of the stop order, when the common bell is allowed to win the middle bell. The configuration may be such that when the common bell is won, the middle bell is always won regardless of the stop order and the operation timing.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the notification target combination is won, a medal is given as an advantageous display result derived when operated in accordance with the operation procedure corresponding to the type of the lottery target combination constituting the notification target combination. The winning mode of the accompanying small role and the winning mode of the re-gamer with the transition to the gaming state (RT0, RT2) advantageous to the player are applied. Giving a game, giving a medal or re-game to other display results not involving a transition to a gaming state advantageous for the player, giving a display result accompanied by a transition to a gaming state advantageous for the player, and granting a medal Display results with more medals for other display results that accompany, display results with grant of benefits for other display results that do not accompany benefits that are advantageous to the player (such as ART), and games Not good for the person As long display the result or the like with the transition to an advantageous gaming state than the display result or the current game state to maintain the current gaming state to the other display results with the shift to the game state.

  Here, the benefit advantageous to the player means a right that allows the player to shift to an advantageous state advantageous to the player (winning a lottery for determining whether or not to generate the advantageous state, shifting to the advantageous state. (E.g., winning is permitted), the right to be notified of an operation mode advantageous to the player, the right to be controlled to a gaming state with a high expected value to which a gaming value is given, and the current gaming state are advantageous to the player Such as the right to be notified of whether or not the player is in a gaming state, the period during which the player is controlled to be in an advantageous state (the number of fixed games, the average value of the number of games that vary depending on the end condition, etc.) Alternatively, it may be a benefit that is indirectly advantageous to the player, such as a condition for obtaining a privilege on the Internet, although it is not directly advantageous to the player.

  Further, in this embodiment, the operation procedure advantageous to the player can be identified by both the navigation notification controlled on the main control unit 41 side and the navigation effect controlled on the sub control unit 91 side. It may be configured such that an operation procedure advantageous to the player can be identified only by a navigation effect controlled on the sub-control unit 91 side.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification that notifies the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in an identifiable manner according to the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the game auxiliary indicator 12 includes two indicators 12L and 12R that can turn on / off each of the first to eighth segments, and each segment is white, peach, yellow, orange, red. It is a display that can be lit in seven colors, green and blue.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the lighting mode of the game auxiliary indicator 12 in the navigation notification is as follows: stop order (middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, right middle / left, left-(first left stop), − Since the combination of the segments to be lit is different for each of the middle- (middle first stop) and the right (first right stop)), the stop order can be identified from the combination of the segments being lit. For example, the first segment, the second segment, the fourth segment, and the sixth segment of the indicator 12L are lit, the second segment, the fourth segment, the sixth segment, and the seventh segment of the indicator 12R are lit, and the other If the segment is off, it is possible to identify the left middle right stop order. However, the combination of segments that light up in response to the stop order is not something that directly recalls the stop order, but it is difficult to immediately identify the stop order from the combination of segments that light up. It cannot be easily identified without a table.

  Also, in the navigation notification that is executed at the time of winning the push order bell, the segment that lights up corresponding to the stop order lights in yellow, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order, so that the middle bell wins Can be identified.

  Further, in the navigation notification executed at the time of winning the replays GR1 to GR6, the segment to be lit in orange corresponding to the stop order is lit in orange, and the stop operation is performed in accordance with the notified stop order, so that the promoted replay is won. Can be identified.

  Also, in the navigation notification that wins the special replay among the navigation notifications executed when the replays GR11 to 13 are elected, the segment to be lit in green corresponds to the stop order, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. By this, it is possible to identify that special replay wins.

  Moreover, in the navigation notification that wins the red 7 replay among the navigation notifications executed when the replays GR11 to 13 are won, the segment that lights up corresponding to the stop order is lit in pink so that the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. By doing so, it is possible to identify that the red 7 replay wins.

  Moreover, in the navigation notification for winning the special replay among the navigation notifications executed at the time of winning the replays GR14 to 16, the segment that lights up corresponding to the stop order is lit in green, so that the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. By this, it is possible to identify that special replay wins.

  Moreover, in the navigation notification that wins the blue 7 replay among the navigation notifications executed when the replays GR14 to 16 are won, the segment to be lit in pink corresponding to the stop order is lit in pink, so that the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. By doing so, it is possible to identify that the blue 7 replay wins.

  Further, in the navigation notification executed when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected, the segment to be lit in blue corresponds to the stop order, and the stop operation is performed in accordance with the notified stop order, so that the middle stage replay wins. Can be identified.

  In this embodiment, the eighth segment of the display 12R is lit in red so that it can be identified that ART (including AT) is being performed. Also, in the navigation notification that can be executed when the player is dismissed during AT or when one of the non-notification target roles is won, for example, all of the first to eighth segments are lit in red regardless of the RT state. To do.

  Next, how navigation notification and navigation effects are executed will be described. As shown in FIG. 29 (a), the game auxiliary display 12 is in a state where all segments are turned off except for a period until the start of the next game when a medal is paid out due to a small role winning, An image corresponding to the normal state is also displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  When the AT control is started in this state, as shown in FIG. 29B, the main control unit 41 turns on the eighth segment of the display 12R in red and starts notification that the ART (AT) is in progress. To do. Further, when the navigation target combination in AT or ART is won, as shown in FIGS. 29 (c) and 29 (d), the main control unit 41 corresponds to the game auxiliary display 12 as navigation notification. The segment is lit to notify the stop order, and the stop order command is transmitted to cause the sub control unit 91 to execute the navigation effect.

  At this time, if the winning combination is different and the winning combination is different by performing the stop operation according to the notified stopping order, but the stopping order for winning the target combination is the same, for example, at the time of winning the push order bell If the stop order for winning the middle bell and the stop order for winning the red 7 replay when winning the replays GR11 to 16 are the same, the stop order can be identified by the navigation notification on the game auxiliary display 12 The combination of the segments to be lit is the same, but the winning combination can be identified by the different lighting colors. For example, as shown in FIG. 29 (c), when the push order bell is selected, the segment to be lit is yellow, and the middle bell is awarded by performing a stop operation according to the notified stop order. As shown in FIG. 29 (d), when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, the segment to be lit is pink and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. This makes it possible to identify that the red 7 replay wins. When the navigation notification of the red 7 replay prize is given, as shown in FIG. 29 (d), an image that prompts a stop operation at the timing when red 7 is aimed at the liquid crystal display 51 is also displayed.

  In the navigation effect, the mode of the image for informing the stop order is the same, but the winning combination can be identified by displaying the winning combination image. For example, as shown in FIG. 29 (c), in the case of winning of the push order bell, a stop operation according to the notified stop order is displayed by displaying “bell” in addition to the image informing the stop order. It is possible to identify that the middle bell wins by performing the above, and as shown in FIG. 29 (d), when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected and in the preparation state, “Red 7-Red 7-Red 7” is displayed, and a message image such as “Aim at red 7!” Is also displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to prompt a stop operation at the timing at which red 7 is aimed. It is possible to identify that the red 7 replay wins by performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order and aiming at the red 7.

  Also, when the number of remaining games in the ART is 0 and the ART is terminated, as shown in FIG. 29 (e), the main control unit 41 turns off the eighth segment of the display 12R, and during the ART. The notification to the effect ends.

  Further, in this embodiment, if the stop order of the first stop reels is the same in the push order bell win, replay GR11-16 win, and replay GR21-23 win, the stop order after the second stop reel is related. First, the target role will win. That is, after the second stop reel, if the stop operation is performed in an arbitrary stop order, it becomes possible to win the target combination. For this reason, in the navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41, when the push order bell is selected, when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, and when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected, the stop order of the left middle right and the left and right middle can be identified. A common lighting mode is applied as the lighting mode, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the stop order of the middle left and right, and the middle right and left, and the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the stop order of the middle right and left.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 does not only stop in the first stop reel but also in the stop order after the second stop reel in the push order bell win, the replay GR11-16 win, and the replay GR21-23 win. Based on the result of sorting and sorting by lottery or the like, not only the stop order of the first stop reel but also the stop order after the second stop reel is notified by the navigation effect.

  For example, when winning the left bell, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, so that the stop order of the left middle right and the left and right middles is changed as shown in FIGS. 30 (a) and 30 (b). While navigation notification is performed in the lighting mode of the identifiable segment, in the navigation effect, the notification mode that notifies the stop order of the left middle right shown in FIG. 30A and the left and right shown in FIG. The stop order is notified in any one of the notification modes for reporting the stop order in the middle.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the navigation target combination is elected during AT or ART, as shown in FIG. First, the navigation notification is continued over the period from the start of the game (when the start switch 7 is operated) to the stop of all reels (when the third stop operation stop switch is released). At this time, when the small role is won, as shown in FIG. 31D, the number of medals paid out is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 over the period from the end of the game to the start of the next game. At this time, the payout number of medals is displayed in red, which is not used in navigation notification, so that it is possible to clearly distinguish between navigation notification and payout number.

  The navigation notification is continued over a period from the start of the game (when the start switch 7 is operated) to the stop of all reels (when the stop switch of the third stop operation is released). The navigation notification may be continued for a period from when all the reels are stopped (when the stop switch of the third stop operation is pressed) to when all the reels are stopped (when the switch 7 is operated).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 31 (a) to 31 (d), the sub control unit 91 performs the navigation effect over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels as long as the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification. However, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order that does not match the stop order according to the navigation notification, the stop operation that does not match the notified stop order is performed as shown in FIG. The navigation effect ends from the point in time.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a winning notification effect for notifying that when any of the winning combinations is won in the winning line LN.

  In the winning notification effect, the reel LED 55 corresponding to the area of the symbols arranged on the winning line LN according to the winning combination (for example, when a middle bell having the same symbols on the winning line LN wins) or the reel LED 55 corresponding to the area is invalid. Index symbols aligned on the lines LM1 to LM4 (for example, when the symbols aligned on the winning line LN do not become the same symbol, but the right falling bell etc. where the index symbols aligned on the invalid line become the same symbol, etc. wins. ) Changes the lighting state of the reel LED 55 corresponding to the area of), and displays an image indicating that the winning combination is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, thereby notifying that the winning combination has been won.

  In this embodiment, as the winning notification effect, the effect of notifying that the winning combination has been won by changing the lighting mode of the reel LED 55 and changing the display mode of the liquid crystal display 51 is applied. You may apply the production | presentation which alert | reports that the winning combination was won by other production | presentation apparatuses, such as an audio | voice output and production effect LED52.

  The sub-control unit 91 does not always execute the winning notification effect when the winning combination is won, but is in a normal state and when the navigation notification is not executed, the promotion replay, special replay, falling replay, red 7 replay, When a winning combination other than Blue 7 Replay wins, navigation notification is executed, and a stop operation is performed in accordance with the notified stop order, and when any winning combination is won, a winning notification effect is executed. In the case where the promotion replay, special replay, fall replay, red 7 replay, and blue 7 replay are won when the navigation notification is not executed, the navigation notification is executed and the stop operation is performed according to the stop order other than the notified stop order. If any of the winning combinations wins, the winning notification effect is not executed.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 32 (a) and 32 (b), during the preparation state, navigation notification for generating a red 7 replay prize is performed when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, and the notification is made in the order of stoppage and red. When a stop operation is performed at a timing to stop 7 and a red 7 replay wins, a winning notification effect is executed. Note that red 7 is not stopped on the winning line LN, and the player may be misunderstood. Therefore, in the winning notification effect on the liquid crystal display 51, the red 7 is displayed together with the red 7 image. An image of a symbol corresponding to “Replay-Blue 7-Replay” arranged on the top of the image 7 may be displayed. When a blue 7 replay win occurs, blue 7 is stopped on the invalid line LM4, and as a result, blue 7 of the reel is stopped on the winning line LN. The combined image is displayed, but an image of a symbol corresponding to the symbol stopped on the winning line LN may be displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 32 (c) and 32 (d), the notified stop is issued even though the navigation notification for generating a red 7 replay winning is performed when the replays GR11 to 16 are won. When the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the order and the fall replay wins, the winning notification effect is not executed. When the navigation notification for generating the red 7 replay winning is executed, the winning notification effect is not executed even when the special replay winning is generated. However, when a special replay winning is generated, the RT 2 is controlled and the ART is started, so that a winning notification effect indicating the special replay winning may be executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the configuration including the main control unit 41 that controls the game and the sub control unit 91 that controls the effect, the main control unit 41 uses the game auxiliary display 12 to give the player. Since control to notify the stop order of the reels in an identifiable manner, that is, control to perform navigation notification, is performed, even if an abnormality occurs on the sub-control unit 91 side, the player's advantage is prevented from being affected. it can.

  Further, in the navigation notification by the game auxiliary display 12, for example, when the push order bell winning the middle bell wins, and when the replay GR 11-16 winning red 7 replay, blue 7 replay, special replay, etc., Even when the same stop order is identifiable, even if the stop order identified by the navigation notification is the same, even if the same stop order is identifiable, according to the stop order notified by the lighting color at that time The winning combination can be recognized by performing the stop operation.

  Further, in this embodiment, the stop order is notified in a notification mode in which it is difficult to immediately identify the stop order notified in the navigation notification, and the liquid crystal display 51 or the like by the sub-control unit 91 is displayed. It is possible to focus attention on the stop order informed by the used navigation effect. Even when the navigation effect does not function, the stop order can be identified by using a correspondence table or the like. The notification mode that is difficult to identify immediately corresponds to, for example, a notification that notifies an identification symbol, an identification number, or the like determined in accordance with an operation procedure such as a stop order.

  In this embodiment, the stop order is notified in a notification mode in which it is difficult to immediately identify the stop order notified in the navigation notification. However, as described in a modification example described later, It is good also as a structure which alert | reports an operation procedure in the alerting | reporting aspect which can identify immediately the stop order alert | reported in alerting | reporting.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the sub control unit 91 performs navigation notification by the main control unit 41, the stop order in which the liquid crystal display 51 is notified by the navigation notification in a notification mode that stands out from the navigation notification. Is controlled so as to be identifiable. By using an effect device such as the liquid crystal display 51, it is possible to notify the reel stop order advantageous to the player in a suitable manner. Note that the notice mode that stands out from the navigation notice is a notice form in which a navigation effect is performed on a larger screen than the game auxiliary display 12 where the navigation notice is performed, a notice mode in which a navigation effect is performed by a plurality of effect devices, What is necessary is just the alerting | reporting aspect etc. which can grasp | ascertain an operation procedure immediately.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 continues the navigation notification over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels regardless of whether or not the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification. As long as the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification, the unit 91 continues the navigation effect over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels, but in the stop order that does not match the stop order according to the navigation notification. When the stop operation is performed, the navigation effect is ended from the time when the stop operation that does not match the notified stop order is performed, and the stop operation is performed in a different operation procedure from the notified stop order. When the notification by the navigation notification is continued, the notification content can be confirmed thereafter, but the notification by the liquid crystal display 51 that is notified in a more conspicuous manner than the navigation notification is terminated. Can be prevented by the troublesome I think to a player in the case where the.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 continues the navigation notification over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels regardless of whether or not the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification. As long as the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification, the unit 91 continues the navigation effect over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels, but in the stop order that does not match the stop order according to the navigation notification. When the stop operation is performed, the navigation effect is terminated from the point of time when the stop operation that does not match the notified stop order is performed, but the main control unit 41 performs the stop operation in the stop order according to the navigation notification. Regardless of whether or not the game has been performed, the navigation notification is continued over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels, and the sub-control unit 91 also opens the game regardless of whether or not the stop control is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification. It is good also as a structure which continues a navigation effect over the period from an all reel stop, and the main control part 41 is also the period from a game start to an all reel stop, as long as the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation alerting | reporting. If the stop operation is performed in the stop order that does not match the stop order according to the navigation notification, the navigation notification is terminated when the stop operation that does not match the notified stop order is performed. As long as the stop operation is also performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification, the sub control unit 91 continues the navigation effect over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels, but does not match the stop order according to the navigation notification. When the stop operation is performed in the stop order, the navigation effect may be ended when the stop operation that does not match the notified stop order is performed. As long as the stop operation is performed in accordance with the stop order in accordance with the navigation notification, the navigation notification continues for the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels, but the stop operation is performed in a stop order that does not match the stop order in accordance with the navigation notification On the other hand, the navigation notification is terminated from the time point when the stop operation that does not match the notified stop order is performed, while the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification. It is good also as a structure which continues a navigation effect over the period from a start to the stop of all reels.

  Further, in this embodiment, if the stop order of only the first stop reels coincides when the push order bell is selected, the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, and the replays GR21 to 23 are selected, the stop order after the second stop reels is the same. Regardless, the target role will win. That is, after the second stop reel, if the stop operation is performed in an arbitrary stop order, it becomes possible to win the target combination. Therefore, in the navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41, the replay is performed when the push order bell is won. When the GR 11-16 is elected, when the replays GR 21-23 are elected, the segment lighting mode capable of identifying the left middle right and the left / right middle stop order, and the middle left / right and middle right / left stop order identifying the segment lighting mode A common lighting mode is applied as the lighting mode of the segments that can identify the stop order of the middle left and right middle and left. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 stops not only in the stop order of the first stop reels but also in the stop after the second stop reel at the time of pushing order bell winning, at the time of winning the replay GR11-16, and at the time of winning the replay GR21-23. The order is assigned by lottery or the like, and based on the result of the assignment, not only the stop order of the first stop reel but also the stop order after the second stop reel is notified by the navigation effect. Without increasing the load, it is possible to notify the stop order in various notification modes by the effect device such as the liquid crystal display 51.

  In this embodiment, in the navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41, the stop order of left middle right and right and left during the push order bell win, the replay GR11-16 win, and the replay GR21-23 win is determined. The lighting mode of the segment that can be identified, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the stop order of middle left and right and middle right and left, and the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the stop order of right middle left and right middle left, respectively, Although it is applied, the lighting mode of the segment which can identify the stop order of the left middle right when the push order bell win, the replay GR11-16 win, the replay GR21-23 win, and the stop order in the left and right are identified Possible segment lighting modes, middle-left and right stop order distinguishable segment lighting modes, middle right left stop order distinguishable segment lighting mode, right left middle stop order distinguishable Lighting mode of a segment may be lit mode segments identifiable stop order of the left in the right a structure to perform navigation notification by distributing respectively. Further, the sub-control unit 91 may notify only the stop order of the first stop reel by the navigation effect at the time of pushing order bell winning, at the time of winning the replay GR11-16, or at the time of winning the replay GR21-23.

  Further, in this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 does not always execute the winning notification effect when the winning combination is won, but the navigation notification is executed, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. When the winning combination is performed, the navigation notification is executed, and the stop operation is performed in accordance with the stop order other than the notified stop order. The winning notification effect is not executed, the stop order is notified by the navigation notification, and if any combination is won in the stop order other than the notified stop order, the winning notification effect is executed. Therefore, even if the notified stop order is ignored, it is possible to prevent the player from impressing that the winning combination is won.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 32 (c) and 32 (d), the winning combination in which the stop operation is performed in the stop order other than the notified stop order in spite of the navigation notification being performed is the same on a straight line. Or, it is a configuration in which similar symbols are not arranged, but despite the fact that the navigation notification is executed, the winning combination by the stop operation other than the notified stop order is the same or similar on the straight line In the case of a combination of symbols, i.e., a role that can be recognized at first glance, by not performing the winning notification effect, the role can be won even if the stop order notified more effectively is ignored. Can be prevented from impressing the player.

  In addition, when the navigation notification is not executed, if the winning is achieved, the winning combination is performed in the stop order other than the notified stop order even though the navigation notification is executed. When winning a prize, the prize notification effect may not be executed, and even in such a configuration, even if the stop order notified more effectively is ignored, the player will receive a winning combination. It can prevent impressing.

  In this embodiment, the navigation notification is performed by using the game auxiliary display 12 on which the number of medals paid out due to winning and the error code indicating the contents when an error occurs are displayed. That is, since the navigation notification is performed using the game auxiliary display 12 that can display information other than the information related to the navigation notification, the notification means for performing the navigation notification is shared with the notification means for not only the navigation notification but also other information. can do.

  In addition, when the navigation notification is shared with the game auxiliary display 12 that displays the number of medals paid out due to winning and the error code indicating the contents when an error occurs, the notification mode displayed in the navigation notification It is preferable that the notification mode of the payout number or the notification mode of the error code is different from the notification mode (for example, a notification mode with different display colors, a notification mode in which display contents do not overlap, or the like). It is possible to prevent misrecognition of the notification content displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

  Also, for example, when an error is detected while the game is in progress, an error code is displayed when the error is detected on the game auxiliary display 12, but the error state is not controlled until the end of the game. When an error is detected during navigation notification, it is preferable that the error code is not displayed and the navigation notification is continued until the end of the game. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged because the content notified by the error cannot be confirmed. Furthermore, in this case, it is preferable to notify that an error has been detected using a segment that is not used in the navigation notification (for example, the eighth segment of the indicator 12L). It can be recognized that an error has been detected while continuing.

  In this embodiment, the navigation notification is performed by using the game auxiliary display 12 that displays the number of medals paid out due to winning and the error code indicating the contents when an error occurs. Navigation using 1 BETLED 14 for notifying that the number is set 1 by lighting, 2 BETLED 15 for notifying that 2 bets are set, and 3 BETLED 16 notifying that 3 bets are set A configuration for performing notification (for example, a navigation operation for instructing a stop operation for the left reel when the BETLED 15 is turned on, a navigation operation for instructing a stop operation for the right reel when the BETLED 16 is turned on, etc.) As described in the above, the navigation notification may be performed by a dedicated display.

  In the present embodiment, as an operation procedure notified by the navigation notification, an operation is performed in one of the operation orders of the stop orders of the reels, that is, the plurality of operation orders by the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the plurality of reels. Although the procedure is applied, an operation procedure operated at any one of a plurality of different operation timings, or an operation procedure based on a combination of stop order and operation timing may be applied.

  Further, in this embodiment, the operation procedure randomly determined from a plurality of operation procedures is notified as the specific operation procedure notified by the navigation notification, but the specific operation procedure notified by the navigation notification is as follows. The operation procedure may be fixed uniformly.

  Also, in this embodiment, if the winning combination is different and the winning combination is different by performing the stop operation according to the notified stopping order, but the stopping order for winning the target winning combination is the same, the game assistance The combination of the segments that are lit so that the stop order can be identified by the navigation notification on the display device 12 is the same. However, the lighting color is different so that the winning combination can be identified, but one is lit and the other flashes. It is good also as a structure which can also identify the winning combination by making it alert | report different by the alerting | reporting by and flashing switching speed. Further, as will be described in a later-described modification, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a winning combination can be identified by using different notification contents. In particular, when one of the lights is on and the other is flashing, the flashing switching speed is different, or the display content is different, the winning combination is different and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. If the winning combination is different, but the stop order for winning the target winning combination is the same, the winning combination can be identified even if navigation notification is performed using a single color display.

  Further, in this embodiment, the winning combination is different, and as a different combination that is derived by performing a stop operation according to the notified stop order, a middle bell, special replay, middle replay, red 7 replay, blue 7 replays (push order bell and replay GR11-16, replay GR21-23), that is, one is a small role with payout of medals, the other is a replaying role with replay grant, and involves a transition of the gaming state Role, special replay, blue 7 replay, red 7 replay and middle stage replay (replay GR11-16 and replay GR21-23), that is, all are replays with replay grants, The combination that is accompanied, and the other is the combination that does not involve the transition of the gaming state, but when the operation is performed in a specific operating procedure, the former symbol combination is derived on one line. On the other hand, in the latter case, a second symbol combination that is different from the first symbol combination is derived on one line (for example, a middle bell that wins when a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged) When a combination of “Bell-Replay a-Replay a” is assembled, a promotion replay that wins a prize, etc.), when the former is operated in a specific operation procedure, the former derives a specific symbol combination in the first line On the other hand, the latter is a case where a specific symbol combination is derived on a second line different from the first line (for example, a middle stage in which a combination of “replay a / replay b-replay a-replay a” is aligned with the winning line LN. A replay and a combination of “replay a / replay b-replay a-replay a”, which is a right-up replay in which the combination of the replay a / replay b-replay a-replay a is aligned with the invalid line LM4). The first small combination with medals is derived while the latter is derived with the second small combination with the grant of the second number of medals (for example, the middle bell with the payout of 8 medals) Corner cherry with payout of one medal), when operated in a specific operating procedure, the former derives a small role with medal grant, while the latter replay with replay grant Derived special role with transition of role or gaming state (for example, middle bell with medal grant and middle replay with replay grant or BB with transition of game state), operated with specific operating procedure In the case where the former is derived from the replaying role with the replay grant, the latter is derived from the special role with the game state transition, when operated in a specific operating procedure The first special role with the transition to the first gaming state is led by the former A second special role with a transition to a second gaming state that is different from the first gaming state, whereas the latter is issued (for example, to BB and RB with a transition to BB) RB with transition), a combination of these, and the like. Further, the combination that accompanies the transition of the gaming state is not limited to the special combination, and a specific combination of a small combination, a re-playing combination, or a loss may be applied.

  Further, in this embodiment, the navigation notification is performed so that an operation procedure advantageous to the player can be identified, but the result of the internal lottery (the winning status of the internal winning flag) is displayed in an identifiable manner. (For example, a configuration in which numbers such as binary numbers, decimal numbers, hexadecimal numbers, etc., assigned for each winning combination are displayed) can be used. Etc., it becomes possible to grasp the result of the internal lottery in each game.

  Further, in such a configuration, the player does not actively recognize a test fire test or the like, so a display (for example, a set value display 24) provided inside the front door 1b or a housing is not provided. It is preferably displayed on a display provided in the body 1a. In addition, when using a display (game auxiliary display 12 or the like) that can be seen by the player, it is preferable that the display is performed in a manner that the player cannot immediately recognize.

Next, modified examples 1 to 5 of the navigation notification will be described.
In the above embodiment, if the winning combination is different and the winning combination is different by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified stopping order, but the stopping order for winning the target combination is the same, the game auxiliary indicator The combination of the segments that are lit so that the stop order can be identified by the 12 navigation notifications is the same, but the winning combination can be identified by the different lighting colors.

  On the other hand, in the modified example 1, the winning combination can be identified by changing the combination of the segments that are lit so that the stop order can be identified by the navigation notification of the game auxiliary display 12.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33, the lighting mode of the game auxiliary indicator in the navigation notification is notified in the order of stop (middle left / right, middle right / left, right / left middle, right middle / left, left-(first left stop)). , -Middle- (Middle first stop), --Right (Right first stop)) and the combination of segments to be lit differ depending on the type of the role subject to navigation notification. In addition, the winning combination can be identified by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order.

  By having such a configuration, the winning combination is different, and the winning combination is different by performing the stop operation according to the notified stopping order, but when the stopping order for winning the target combination is the same, Even if the navigation notification is performed using the display device of the single color display, the winning combination can be identified by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order.

  In the first modification, the combination of the segments to be lit corresponding to the stop order and the target role of navigation notification does not directly recall the stop order or the target role of navigation notification. It is difficult to immediately identify the stop order from the combination, and it cannot be easily identified without a correspondence table or the like. It is good also as a structure by which the operation procedure and the object role of alerting | reporting are alert | reported by the alerting | reporting aspect which can identify immediately.

  In the said Example, it was the structure which alert | reports a stop order in the alerting | reporting aspect that it is difficult to identify immediately the stop order alert | reported in the navigation alerting | reporting.

  On the other hand, in the modified examples 2 and 3, the operation procedure is notified in a notification mode capable of immediately identifying the stop order notified in the navigation notification.

  In the modified example 2, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, the lighting mode of the game auxiliary indicator 12 in the navigation notification is the first period from the reel rotation start to the first stop, and from the first stop to the second stop. The second period changes for each period of the third period from the second stop to the third stop. The lighting mode in the first period is a letter indicating that the lighting mode of the indicator 12R corresponds to the first stop reel (the left reel is L, the middle reel is C, and the right reel is r), and the lighting mode in the second period Is a character indicating a reel whose lighting mode of the display 12R corresponds to the second stop reel, and a lighting mode in the third period is a character indicating a reel whose lighting mode of the display 12R corresponds to the third stop reel. . For example, in order to notify the middle / left / right stop order, the lighting state of the display 12R is switched in the order of C → L → r. When the stop order of the left-(when the first stop reel is left, the second stop reel and the third stop reel are arbitrary) is notified, the lighting mode of the display 12R is L → − → −. It switches in order. Thereby, the stop order of the reels can be identified by the characters represented in the first period, the second period, and the third period by the display 12R of the game auxiliary display 12 in the navigation notification.

  In any period from the first period to the third period, the display 12L has a number indicating the target role of navigation notification (push order bell is 1, replay GR1-6 is 2, replay GR21-23 is the middle stage. 3 when replay stop order is notified, 4 when special replay is notified by replay GR11-13, 5 when red7 replay is notified, and special replay stop order is notified by replay GR14-16 6 is displayed, and 7) when the blue 7 replay is notified by the replay GR14 to 16, the number displayed on the display 12L from the first period to the third period is displayed. The winning combination can be identified by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified stop order.

  By adopting such a configuration, the operation procedure is notified in a notification mode that can immediately identify the stop order and the winning combination notified in the navigation notification. Even when the device does not function, it is possible to recognize the operation procedure and the winning combination without using a correspondence table or the like.

  In the third modification, as shown in FIG. 36, the lighting mode of the game auxiliary indicator 12 in the navigation notification includes a first period from the reel rotation start to the first stop, and a second period from the first stop to the second stop. , And changes for each period of the third period from the second stop to the third stop. In the lighting mode in the first period, the lighting mode of the display 12L is a number indicating the type of the role to be subjected to navigation notification, and the lighting mode of the display 12R is a number indicating the reel corresponding to the first stop reel (the left reel is 1). In the first state in which the middle reel is 2 and the right reel is 3), and the lighting state of the display 12L and the display 12R serves as a guide for stopping the first stop reel (so-called position to be pushed) Is a lighting state in which the second state becomes a number (design number, 99 if an arbitrary stop position is acceptable), and the lighting state in the second period is the indicator 12L. Is the number indicating the type of the target role of the navigation notification, the lighting state of the display 12R is the number indicating the reel corresponding to the second stop reel, the display 12L and the display 12R The lighting mode is a lighting mode in which the second state, which is a number indicating the stop position serving as a guide for stopping the second stop reel, is switched at regular intervals, and the lighting mode in the third period is the lighting mode of the display 12L Is the number indicating the type of the role subject to navigation notification, the lighting state of the indicator 12R is the number indicating the reel corresponding to the third stop reel, the lighting state of the indicator 12L and the indicator 12R The lighting state is such that the second state, which is a number indicating a stop position serving as a guide for stopping the third stop reel, is switched at regular intervals. For example, in the navigation notification informing the stop order for winning the red 7 replay when the replay GR11 is won, left-(the first stop reel is the left reel, the second stop reel, the third stop reel is optional), When “red 7” is designated as a stop position that is a guide for stopping all reels, 51 indicating the winning of the replays GR11 to 13 and the stop operation of the left reel in the first period and red 7 of the left reel The symbol number 20 is alternately displayed. In the second period, the replays GR11 to 13 are selected, and the middle reel and the right reel among the right reels 52 are stopped and 52 and the middle reel red 7 are displayed. The symbol number 18 is alternately displayed, and in the third period, 53 indicates the winning of the replays GR11 to 13 and the stop operation of the right reel, and the symbol number of red 7 on the right reel. 18 and are alternately displayed. Thereby, the stop position that serves as an indication of the stop order of the reels and the stop operation is notified by the alternately displayed numbers shown in the first period, the second period, and the third period by the game auxiliary display 12 in the navigation notification. The winning combination can be identified by stopping operation according to the stopping order.

  For example, when there are a plurality of stop positions that are advantageous to the player, the stop position that is a guide for stopping is the most easily aimed pattern (such as “red 7”, “blue 7”, “BAR”). A symbol that is larger than other symbols, a symbol with a color that is easier to identify than other symbols, a symbol that has a watermark and appears when the reel LED 55 is lit), and a stop position that is advantageous to the player If the symbol is difficult to aim at, the symbol in the vicinity of the target is suitable.

  In addition, when the stop position that is a guide for stopping is notified by the symbol number as described above, the symbol array and the symbol number are displayed on the menu screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 by the player's operation. It is preferable that the relationship be confirmed.

  By adopting such a configuration, the operation procedure is notified in a notification mode that can immediately identify the stop order that is notified in the navigation notification, the stop position that is a guide for the stop operation, and the winning combination, For example, even when an effect device such as the liquid crystal display 51 does not function, it is possible to recognize an operation procedure or a winning combination without using a correspondence table or the like.

  Note that the notification mode that can be immediately identified is not limited to those described in the second and third modified examples. For example, the notification procedure includes letters, numbers corresponding to the derivation operation means to be operated, initials, and reels. Symbol number that serves as an indication of timing when stopping, symbol that serves as an indication of timing when stopping the reel, characters indicating the symbol, initials, color of the symbol, etc. (for example, r7, blue for red 7) In the case of 7, it may be anything that reports b7 etc.).

  In the above embodiment, the navigation notification is performed using the game auxiliary display 12 on which the number of medals paid out due to winning and the error code indicating the contents when an error occurs are displayed.

On the other hand, in modification examples 4 and 5, navigation notification is performed using a dedicated display.
In the fourth modification example, as shown in FIG. 37 (a), a 5-digit display having 8 segments is provided exclusively for performing navigation notification. The stop order of the reel, the middle reel, and the right reel is notified, and the remaining two-digit display is notified of the stop position that serves as a guide for the stop operation in the first period, the second period, and the third period. The operation procedure can be identified with. In addition, the target role of the navigation notification can be identified by the display color, the presence / absence of display / non-display switching, the display / non-display switching speed, and the like.

  In the modified example 5, in order to perform the navigation notification, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), a 9-digit display device having 8 segments is provided exclusively. The stop order of the reel, middle reel, and right reel is notified, and the stop position that serves as a guide for the stop operation of the left reel is notified on any two digits of the remaining six digits, and the remaining four digits The stop position that is a guide for the stop operation of the middle reel is notified on any of the two-digit indicators, and the stop position that is a guide for the stop operation of the right reel is notified on the remaining two-digit display. This makes it possible to identify the operation procedure. In addition, the target role of the navigation notification can be identified by the display color, the presence / absence of display / non-display switching, the display / non-display switching speed, and the like.

  In order to perform navigation notification in this way, by using a dedicated display device, it is possible to notify the operation procedure and information such as a winning combination in an easy-to-understand manner.

  In addition, in the modified examples 4 and 5, although it is the structure which provides an exclusive display for all the displays, it is good also as a structure used together with the display which alert | reports other information about one part.

  Moreover, in modification examples 4 and 5, an indicator having 8 segments is applied. For example, three LEDs corresponding to the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel are provided, and the LED corresponding to each stop time is provided. It is good also as a structure which can identify stop order by lighting. Also in this case, the target role of the navigation notification can be identified by the display color, the presence / absence of display / non-display switching, the display / non-display switching speed, and the like.

  In the above embodiment and the modification, in addition to the operation procedure of the reel by the navigation notification, the winning combination can be identified by performing the stop operation according to the notified operation procedure. Any configuration can be used as long as the operation procedure can be identified.

  In the above embodiment, the navigation notification for notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result is described as the notification that can identify the operation procedure performed by the main control unit 41, but the operation procedure is identified. As a possible notification, it is possible to execute a combination notification that notifies a winning combination according to the internal lottery result in an identifiable manner, and to be able to identify the operation procedure from the notification content.

  In the role notification, as shown in FIG. 38, as the lighting mode of the game auxiliary indicator 12, the combination of the segments to be lit differs depending on the result of the internal lottery or the combination thereof. It is possible to identify the operating procedures and winning combinations.

  For example, when 1A is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, it is identified that the common bell is won, and accordingly, the player's stop operation can be performed at any stop order and at any timing. Since it does not affect the advantage, it is possible to identify a stop operation at an arbitrary stop order and at an arbitrary timing, and it is possible to identify a middle bell or a right-down bell as a winning combination.

  In addition, when 2F is displayed on the game auxiliary indicator 12, it is identified that one of watermelon, strong cherry, or weak cherry is won, so that the middle-stage watermelon, the right-down watermelon, the middle-stage cherry Or, in order to win a corner cherry, a stop operation within the pull-in range is required, so for the left reel, the pull-in range for “Watermelon” and “Cherry”, for the middle reel and the right reel, “Watermelon Can be identified as a winning combination of a middle-stage watermelon, a right-down watermelon, a middle-cherry or a corner cherry.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 performs the role notification that identifiablely recognizes the winning combination according to the internal lottery result, and the operation procedure and the winning combination can be identified from the notification content. Even in this case, since the main control unit 41 performs control to make the operation procedure of the reels identifiable by the game auxiliary display 12, that is, control to perform the role notification, even if an abnormality occurs on the sub-control unit 91 side, the player In the role notification by the game auxiliary indicator 12, for example, when the common bell that the middle bell or the right-down bell can win is won, the middle replay, and the promotion replay are performed. Even when the same operation procedure is identifiable in the winning replays GR1 to GR6, since the notification is made in a different notification mode, it is identified by the combination notification. Even work procedure is the same, the difference in notification manner at that time, it is possible to recognize the role that can be won by performing the stopping operation in accordance with the notification has been operating procedure.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 wins the ART lottery in RT1 as described above, and starts the AT control when the precursor period ends, and executes navigation notification according to the type of the winning combination. As a result, after going through the preparation state, the process proceeds to RT2 and is controlled to ART.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (a), when the replays GR1 to 6 in RT1 are won, the stop order for winning the promotion replay is notified by navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order, and the promotion replay is awarded. As a result, the transition is made from RT1 to RT0. Thereafter, at RT0, when the replays GR11 to 16 are elected, the stop order in which the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is won, that is, the stop order in which the special replay and the falling replay do not win is notified by the navigation notification, and the notified stop When the stop operation is performed in accordance with the order and the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay wins, the system shifts from RT0 to RT2 and controls to ART.

  Also, after the main control unit 41 shifts to RT2 and starts ART control, before the remaining number of games of ART becomes 0, if the special role is won and RT2 ends, the bonus ends. Thereafter, when the transition is made from RT3 to RT1, the AT control is resumed, navigation notification is performed, and the transition is made again to RT2. In addition, as described above, after shifting to RT2 and starting the control of ART, before the remaining number of games of ART becomes 0, other than being notified by the navigation notification at the time of winning the push order bell or replay GR21-23 When the stop operation is performed in the order of stoppages and the transition start or the fall replay is stopped, the fall control is continued from the RT2 to the RT1, and the ART control is continued to perform the navigation notification, and the process is returned to the RT2.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 39 (b), when the special role is won during the ART control and RT2 ends, or when the fall from RT2 to RT1 during the ART control (in the fall state), At RT1, when the replays GR1 to GR6 are elected, the stop order for winning the promoted replay is notified by navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order and the promoted replay is awarded, thereby shifting from RT1 to RT0. Thereafter, at RT0, when the replays GR11 to 16 are elected, the stop order for winning the special replay is notified by the navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order, and the special replay wins, so that the RT0 is changed to RT2. Transition.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can perform navigation notification of the stop order for winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay when a specific target combination (replay GR 11 to 16 or the like) is won in the internal lottery. When the stop operation is performed in a specific stop order in accordance with the stop order notified by the navigation notification, it is possible to control the freeze state. On the other hand, even when a specific target role is won, when the navigation operation is performed in the specific stop order when the navigation notification is not performed, the specific stop order of the navigation notification is performed. When the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than, the stop notification other than the specific stop order is notified by the navigation notification, and when the stop operation is performed in the specific stop order, the freeze state is not controlled.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 40, when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected at RT0, the stop order for winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is notified by navigation notification, and all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped. It is determined whether the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay has won, or other replays (special replay, fall replay) have won.

  When a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay wins, a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay with a red 7 alignment or a red 7 replay or a blue 7 irregularity with a red 7 inconsistency will be awarded. Determine if Blue 7 Replay wins.

  The red 7 replay with red 7 alignment refers to the red 7 replay with red 7 alignment on the invalid line LM2 out of the red 7 replays shown in FIG. 8, and hereinafter also referred to as red 7 replay. The blue 7 replay with blue 7 alignment refers to the blue 7 replay with blue 7 alignment on the invalid line LM4 in the blue 7 replay shown in FIG. . In addition, the red 7 replay that causes red 7 irregularities means a red 7 replay other than the red 7 uniform replays among the red 7 replays shown in FIG. 8, and is also referred to as a red 7 irregular replay hereinafter. In addition, the blue 7 replay that is not blue 7 is a blue 7 replay other than the blue 7 replay in the blue 7 replay shown in FIG. 8, and is also referred to as a blue 7 non-uniform replay below.

  When the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, a stop operation is performed at a timing at which the red 7 alignment or the blue 7 alignment can be stopped. It is determined whether or not the stop operation has been performed according to the stop order, and when the stop operation is performed according to the stop order notified by the navigation notification, the freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed after the third stop operation is performed. Is controlled to output an ART signal indicating the start of ART from the external output board 1000. During the freeze state, the sub-control unit 91 displays a title indicating that ART is started. Then, after the predetermined period has elapsed, the control in the freeze state is terminated and the game can proceed, and then the start switch 7 is operated to start the next game and start ART.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 specifies the stop order notified by the winning of the replay GR11-16 and the navigation notification based on the first internal winning command at the time of winning the replay GR11-16, and then stops. Based on the operation command, the stop order operated by the player is specified. Then, when the stop order notified by the navigation notification and the stop order operated by the player coincide with each other, it is specified that the main control unit 41 is controlled to be frozen, and based on the winning number command, Specify when to control the freeze state. That is, the stop order notified by the navigation notification matches the stop order operated by the player, and red 7 is aligned based on a winning command (or a stopping operation command, a winning number command, etc.). When it is specified that the replay or the blue 7-match replay is won, it is specified that the control of the freeze state is started after the third stop operation of the game is performed. Further, when the stop order notified by the navigation notification matches the stop order operated by the player, but it is specified that the red 7 irregular replay or the blue 7 irregular replay has been won, it will be described later. Thus, it is specified that the control in the freeze state is started when the next game of the game starts, that is, when the start switch 7 is operated. Then, when it is specified that the control in the freeze state is started, the sub control unit 91 performs a title display indicating that the ART is started in a predetermined period in which the control in the freeze state is executed.

  On the other hand, even when the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is won, if the stop operation is not performed according to the stop order notified by the navigation notification, the control of the freeze state and the control of outputting the ART signal may be performed. Absent.

  In addition, when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, a stop operation is performed at a timing at which it is impossible to stop the red 7 or blue 7 alignment. Then, it is determined whether or not the stop operation is performed according to the stop order notified by the navigation. When the stop operation is performed according to the stop order notified by the navigation, the ART signal is externally output after the third stop operation is performed. Control is performed so as to output from the substrate 1000, and the process waits until the start switch 7 is operated. Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the next game is started and the control of the freeze state is started, and the reel effects that change the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in a manner different from the normal game in the freeze state. Execute. Thereafter, the reel effect is ended, the control in the freeze state is ended, the game is restarted, and the ART is started.

  On the other hand, even if a red 7 irregular replay or a blue 7 irregular replay wins, if the stop operation is not performed in accordance with the stop order notified by the navigation, the freeze state control and the ART are started at the start of the game and the next game. There is no control to output a signal.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 performs the above-described title display and notifies that the ART is started in a predetermined period in which the main control unit 41 performs the control of the freeze state and the reel effect.

  In the reel production in the freeze state, the main control unit 41 starts the control in the freeze state and then changes each reel until a specific symbol (for example, “red 7”) stops in the middle stage, thereby winning line LN. A symbol conversion effect that aligns specific symbol combinations (for example, “red 7-red 7-red 7”) is executed to indicate that ART is started. The reel effect may be any effect that indicates that the ART is started by changing the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in a different manner from the normal game during a predetermined period controlled in the freeze state. Even if it is other than the symbol conversion effect, for example, the variation of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is different from the variation mode in normal games (variation that accelerates in the forward direction and makes constant speed rotation) (for example, , Fluctuations in the reverse direction), special fluctuation effects that change the reels, effects that do not change the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R for a predetermined period, special fluctuation effects, and symbol conversion effects may be performed in combination.

  In addition, when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, a stop operation is performed at a timing at which the red 7 alignment or the blue 7 alignment can be stopped. When the stop operation is performed at a timing at which it is impossible to stop the 7 assortment, even if the red 7 irregular replay or the blue 7 irregular replay wins, the navigation notification is not performed. At the start of the game and the next game, the control of the freeze state and the control of outputting the ART signal are not performed.

  According to such control, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), when the re-gamer wins, the main control unit 41 automatically sets a specified number of bets after the game ends. Then, the reception of the operation of the start switch 7 is validated, and it waits until the start switch 7 is operated. Then, when the start switch 7 is operated in this state, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R start to rotate and then the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate at a constant speed. Enable acceptance of 2C and 2R stop operations.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the replays GR11 to 16 are won, and the stop operation is performed in the notified stop order, so that the red 7-matched replay or blue 7 When the uniform replay wins, the control of the freeze state is executed for a predetermined period after the third stop operation is performed, and the activation of the operation of the start switch 7 accompanying the winning of the re-gamer is delayed. Then, when the predetermined period has elapsed, the control in the freeze state is ended and the delayed operation acceptance of the start switch 7 is validated.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 41 (c), navigation notification is executed at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 16, and the stop operation is performed in the notified stop order, and a red 7 irregular replay or a blue 7 irregular replay is won. In such a case, the specified number of bets are automatically set after the game is finished without executing the control of the freeze state after the third stop operation is performed, and the operation of the start switch 7 is accepted. It is activated and waits until the start switch 7 is operated. Then, when the start switch 7 is operated in this state, the control of the freeze state over a predetermined period is started and the reel effect is started. After that, when the predetermined period has elapsed, the control in the freeze state is ended, and when the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated at a constant speed, the acceptance of the stop operation is validated.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 performs the navigation notification when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, and the stop operation is performed in the stop order notified by the navigation notification, so that the red 7-match replay or the blue 7-match replay is performed. When the game is won, the game is controlled to be frozen in the winning game of the replays GR11 to 16, whereas the stop operation is performed in the stop order notified by the navigation notification, and the red 7 irregular replay or the blue 7 irregular replay is performed. When winning the game, the game is controlled to be frozen at the start of the next game won by the replays GR11 to 16, and when the replays GR11 to 16 are won, the navigation notification is made and the stop order notified is given. Even if a stop operation is performed in, a case where a red 7-match replay or a blue 7-match replay is won on reels 2L, 2C, 2R 7 and a case where irregular replay or blue 7 irregular replay is winning, and controls the freeze state at different timings.

  On the other hand, when the replays GR11 to 16 are elected, the navigation notification is not performed, and the player performs a stop operation in the order of stopping to win the red 7-match replay or the blue 7-match replay, and the red 7-match replay or blue When a 7-match replay is won, or when a red 7-misaligned replay or a blue 7-mismatch replay is won, a navigation notification is given, but the player ignores the navigation notification and accidentally causes a red 7-match replay or blue 7 When the stop operation is performed in the order of stopping to win the uniform replay and the red 7 uniform replay or the blue 7 uniform replay wins, or when the red 7 irregular replay or the blue 7 irregular replay wins, the freeze state is not controlled. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 41A, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment is a normal case where the above-described freeze state control is not executed, and the internal control lottery is performed when the start switch 7 is operated. If the winning combination is won, after the start switch 7 is operated, the navigation notification is started, and the first internal winning command that can specify the stop order to be notified by the navigation notification is sent to the sub-control unit 91. Send to. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 starts the navigation effect after receiving the first internal winning command, that is, after the start switch 7 is operated.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 41 (c), the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, and performs a stop operation in accordance with the notified stop order. In the case of controlling to the frozen state in the case where the navigation target role is won in the next game, that is, in the case where the control of the frozen state is executed at the start of the game and the push order bell is won, As in the normal case described above, after the start switch 7 is operated, navigation notification is started and the first internal winning command is transmitted. Thereafter, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start switch 7 was operated, the control in the freeze state is terminated and the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R for gaming is started. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 matches the stop order notified by the navigation notification based on the stop operation time command and the first internal winning command in the previous game, and the actual stop order. When it is determined that a red 7 irregular replay or a blue 7 irregular replay has been won based on the number command, the navigation effect is produced even when the first internal winning command is received after the start switch 7 is operated. The navigation effect is started when the period has elapsed since the start switch 7 was operated without starting.

  Thus, in a normal case where the game is not controlled to be frozen at the start of the game, the navigation notification and the navigation effect are started after the start switch 7 is operated, whereas the game is controlled to be frozen at the start of the game. In some cases, the navigation notification is started after the start switch 7 is operated, and after the period has elapsed and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R have started to rotate, that is, after the control in the freeze state has ended. Will be. However, the first internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated regardless of whether or not to control the freeze state.

  When the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (replay GR11 to 16), the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment notifies the specific stop order by navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed in the notified stop order. By being performed, specific control such as a freeze state can be performed.

  In such a configuration, the specific control may be performed in an unintended situation when the specific control is uniformly performed by stopping in a specific stop order regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is performed. There is.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a specific stop order (red 7 replay, blue 7 replay) when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (replay GR11 to 16). (Stop order to win a prize) is notified by navigation notification, and when the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order, it is possible to perform control of freeze state and control to output an ART signal, and the winning result of the internal lottery is When a specific result (replay GR11-16) is reached, a specific stop order can be specified even when a stop operation is performed in a specific stop order (stop order to win red 7 replay and blue 7 replay) When no navigator notification is performed, the freeze state control and the control to output the ART signal are not performed, and the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result, and a specific stop order is set. Navi notification that can be set is performed, and the stop operation is performed by the player in the notified stop order, so that it is possible to perform control of freeze state and control to output the ART signal, while winning the internal lottery Even if the result is a specific result and it is accidentally stopped in a specific stop order, if there is no navigation notification that can specify the specific stop order, control of the freeze state and control to output an ART signal are performed. Since this is not performed, it is possible to prevent these controls from being performed in an unintended situation.

  In particular, the main control unit 41 provides navigation notification of a specific stop order (stop order for winning a red 7 replay and a blue 7 replay) when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (replay GR11 to 16). When the stop operation is performed in accordance with the notified stop order, the control of the freeze state and the control of outputting the ART signal are performed. Therefore, the control of the freeze state is performed only when shifting to RT2 first in a series of ART. It is possible to output a signal, and in the case of shifting to RT2 after the second time in a series of ARTs, by controlling the freeze state by not winning a specific stop order and winning a special replay, etc. , It is possible to avoid annoying the player, and since the ART signal is not output, the number of times of ART in the external device of the slot machine 1 can be avoided. It can be accurately counted.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 notifies the specific stop order by the navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. In this case, the specific control is configured to perform freeze state control or control to output an ART signal. However, control other than freeze state control or control to output an ART signal may be applied as specific control.

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 notifies the specific stop order by the navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. In this case, the freeze state control or the control to output the ART signal is performed. However, the stop operation mode in which the specific control such as the freeze state control is performed is specified in addition to the specific stop order. The stop timing may be applied, or a combination of a specific timing and a specific stop order may be applied. In such a configuration, when the winning result of the lottery becomes a specific result, even if the stop operation is performed in a specific stop order, the stop operation is not performed at a specific stop timing. In such a case, the control in the freeze state and the control for outputting the ART signal are not performed, so that the control can be prevented from being performed in an unintended situation as in the present embodiment.

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 notifies the specific stop order by navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result, and the notified stop order and the actual stop order Is a configuration that executes control in a freeze state and control to output an ART signal on condition that they match, but a specific operation mode is notified by navigation notification, and the reel is in a stop mode that is derived in a specific operation mode. A predetermined control such as a control in a freeze state may be executed on the condition that 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped. Even in such a configuration, since the freeze operation or the control to output the ART signal is executed based on the stop operation performed in the specific operation mode notified by the navigation, Similar to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent these controls from being performed in an unintended situation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41, when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (replay GR11 to 16), stops to win a specific stop order (red 7 replay, blue 7 replay) Order) is notified by the navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order, so that a specific stop mode (winning mode of red 7-match replay, blue 7-match replay, blue 7-not-match replay) In the case of a stop mode for winning a prize, the control is performed in the freeze state and the ART signal is output. On the other hand, when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (replay GR11-16), the specific stop A specific stop mode (red 7-match replay, blue 7-match replay, red 7-unmatched replay) is performed in order (stop order to win red 7 replay and blue 7 replay). Even if it becomes the winning mode of Blue 7 Uneven Replay), if the specific stop order is not informed by the navigation notification, the control of the freeze state and the control to output the ART signal are not performed. Since the person can stop the specific stop mode by operating the stop operation in the specific stop order notified by the navigation notification when the navigation notification is being performed, the notification by the navigation notification is performed. Can be focused on. In addition, when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (replay GR11 to 16), even if the stop operation is accidentally performed in a specific stop order and becomes a specific stop mode, a specific notification is made by navigation notification. When the stop order is not notified, the control in the freeze state and the control to output the ART signal are not performed, so that the control in the freeze state and the control to output the ART signal in an unintended situation is prevented. it can.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the replays GR11 to 16 are won in the internal lottery, the stop operation is performed in a specific stop order corresponding to the type of the winning combination, so that the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay (red 7 replays, red 7 ragged replays, blue 7 rally replays, blue 7 ragged replays), and when replays GR11 to 13 are selected, a specific stop order and red 7 replays are performed. A stop operation is performed at a timing at which the symbols to be configured can be drawn into the invalid line LM2, so that the red 7-match replay is won, while the symbols constituting the specific stop order and the red 7-match replay are set to the invalid line LM2. When a stop operation is performed at a timing when it cannot be pulled in, a red 7 irregular replay wins. In addition, when the replays GR14 to 16 are won, a stop operation is performed at a timing at which the symbols constituting the replay in the specific stop order and the blue 7-match replay can be drawn into the invalid line LM4. On the other hand, a stop operation is performed at a timing at which the symbols constituting the specific replay order and blue 7-match replay cannot be drawn into the invalid line LM4, so that the blue 7-unmatch replay wins. Then, when the replays GR 11 to 16 are won in the internal lottery, the specific stop order is notified by the navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed in the notified stop order, the red 7-match replay and the blue 7-match replay are performed. The freeze state is controlled at different timings in the case of winning and in the case of winning a red 7 uneven replay or blue 7 uneven replay, and the freeze state related to the stop mode can be controlled.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when the red 7-match replay or blue 7-match replay wins, that is, the stop mode is such that “red 7” or “blue 7” are aligned in a straight line, and the start of ART is notified, and By controlling to the freeze state in the game, the sub-control unit 91 can perform the ART start effect during that time, while the red 7 irregular replay or the blue 7 irregular replay wins, that is, “red 7 ”Or“ Blue 7 ”cannot be set in a straight line stop state, the control is set to the freeze state at the start of the next game, and during the reel production,“ Red 7 ”or“ Blue ” It is possible to notify the start of the ART by setting the state of “7” on a straight line, and during that time, the sub control unit 91 can perform the start effect of the ART.

  In this embodiment, when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, the main control unit 41 is notified of the specific stop order by the navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed in the notified stop order. The configuration is such that the freeze state is controlled at different timings depending on whether a blue 7-match replay is won or a red 7-mismatch replay or a blue 7-mismatch replay is won. In the same manner as in the present embodiment, the replay is controlled in different freeze states when the replay is won and when the red 7 irregular replay or the blue 7 irregular replay is awarded. It is possible to control the freeze state related to the winning of 7 replays, red 7 uneven replays, and blue 7 uneven replays. For example, red 7 complete replays can be controlled. , In the case where blue 7 matching replay is won, and the case where red 7 irregular Replay, blue 7 irregular replay is won, it may be configured to vary the length of the period to control the frozen state.

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 notifies the specific stop order by navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result, and the stop operation is performed in the specific stop order. In such a case, regardless of whether or not a specific stop mode (red 7-match replay, blue 7-match replay) has been achieved, it is configured to control the freeze state at a timing according to the stop mode. When the stop operation is performed in the notified specific operation mode when the specific result is obtained, but does not become the specific stop mode, the specific stop that is notified without controlling the freeze state It is good also as a structure which controls to a freeze state only when stop operation is performed in the aspect and it becomes a specific stop aspect, and the stop aspect derived | led-out by the notified specific operation aspect is set as such a structure. And frozen It can increase the relevance of your capital, as in the present embodiment, it is possible to control the frozen state associated with a particular stop mode.

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends a first internal winning command to the sub-control unit 91 that can specify both the type of the notification subject role selected and the specific stop order when the replays GR11 to 16 are won. Each time a stop operation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is performed, a stop operation time command capable of specifying the reel to be stopped is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. 91 can specify the stop order notified by the navigation notification based on the first internal winning command, and can specify the actual stop order of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R based on the stop operation time command, When the stop order notified by the navigation notification matches the stop order operated by the player, it is specified that the main control unit 41 is controlled to be in a freeze state and notified by the navigation notification. That if the stop order and stop order that is operated by the player do not match, it is possible to specify that the uncontrolled freeze state by the main control unit 41 side.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 gives a winning number command to the sub-control unit 91 that can specify a combination of symbols aligned with the winning line LN by performing a third stop operation after each game is started. Therefore, when the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the main control unit 41 is controlled to be frozen when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, the sub-control unit 91 is further based on the winning number command. It becomes possible to specify the time when the freeze state control is executed, and when the red 7-match replay or blue 7-match replay wins, the freeze state control is executed at the end of the winning game of the replay GR 11-16. When the red 7 irregular replay or blue 7 irregular replay wins, the replay GR 11-16 is won. And thus to identify that the control of the freeze state is executed at the start of the next game over arm.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits a first internal winning command, a stop operation time command, and a winning number command to the sub control unit 91. The sub control unit 91 Based on the first internal winning command and the stop operation time command, it is possible to specify whether or not the main control unit 41 controls the freeze state, and the freeze state control is executed based on the winning number command. The main control unit 41 provides a sub-control unit 91 with a freeze command indicating whether or not to execute control in the freeze state separately from the first internal winning command and the stop operation time command. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether or not the main control unit 41 is controlled to be frozen based on the freeze command, and based on the winning number command The main control unit 41 may execute the freeze state control separately from the first internal winning command, the stop operation time command, and the winning number command. Whether or not the freeze command indicating the time to execute the control of the freeze state is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and is the sub-control unit 91 controlled to the freeze state on the main control unit 41 side based on the freeze command? It is good also as a structure which specifies the time when it is controlled to a freeze state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (when the replay GRs 11 to 16 are won), and notifies by the navigation notification. Since the stop operation is performed in the specific operation mode (stop order) that has been performed, control such as a freeze state is executed in the game that has become the specific stop mode (winning mode of red 7-match replay or blue 7-match replay). Thus, it is possible to perform specific control such as a freeze state in a game in which navigation notification is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (when the replay GRs 11 to 16 are won), and notifies by the navigation notification. The specific operation such as the freeze state is performed in the next game in which the stop operation is performed in the specific operation mode (stop order) and the specific game is in the specific stop mode (the red 7 irregular replay or the blue 7 irregular replay winning mode). Since this is executed, it is possible to perform specific control such as a freeze state in the next game for which the navigation notification is performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (when the replays GR11 to 16 are won), the navigation notification is performed and the specific operation mode notified by the navigation notification is performed. When a stop operation is performed in the (stop order) and a specific stop mode (winning mode of red 7 irregular replay or blue 7 irregular replay) is reached, a specific stop mode (red 7 irregular replay or blue 7 irregular) In a game after a specific stop mode (a red 7 irregular replay or a blue 7 irregular replay winning mode) is performed in a configuration in which specific control such as a freeze state is performed in the next game that has become a replay winning mode) If it exists, the structure which performs specific control, such as a freeze state, in the game after one game or more may be sufficient.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified specific operation mode. When the control such as the freeze state is executed at the start of the game, and the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a navigation target role (push order bell) in the next game, from the start of the next game On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 starts navigation notification when it is specified that control such as a freeze state is executed on the main control unit 41 side at the start of the next game. Since the navigation effect is started after the control such as the freeze state is finished on the main control unit 41 side without executing the navigation effect, the navigation notification is performed even before the control such as the freeze state is finished. While it is possible to specify a specific operation mode by notification, since notification by the navigation effect is started after the control of the freeze state or the like is ended, the notification by the navigation effect is controlled by the main control unit 41 side. It is possible to prevent the effect during the execution period from being hindered.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified specific operation mode. The main control unit 41 transmits the first internal winning command when the navigation target combination is won in the internal lottery in the next game. The sub-control unit 91 is configured to perform a navigation effect based on the first internal winning command. In such a configuration, when the sub control unit 91 receives the first internal winning command and executes the navigation effect regardless of whether or not the control such as the freeze state is executed at the start of the next game, There is a possibility that the effect may interfere with the effect executed with the control of the freeze state or the like. On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 according to the present embodiment starts the game when it is specified on the main control unit 41 side that the control such as the freeze state is executed at the start of the game. After that, since the navigation effect is started after a predetermined period of time, the navigation effect is started after the effect executed with the control such as the freeze state is finished, and the navigation effect is This can prevent the production from being hindered. Further, when it is specified that the control such as the freeze state is executed at the start of the game on the main control unit 41 side, the sub-control unit 91 has passed a predetermined period after the game is started. Since the navigation effect is started later, the main control unit 41 transmits the first internal lottery command so that the sub control unit 91 starts the navigation effect after the control of the freeze state or the like is completed. Therefore, there is no need to change the timing for transmitting the first internal lottery command depending on whether or not control such as a freeze state is executed.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits a first internal winning command that can specify a specific stop mode to the sub-control unit 91 when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result. However, the timing for transmitting the first internal winning command is not limited to when the internal lottery winning result is a specific result. For example, when executing control such as a freeze state, It may be during a period when the control such as the freeze state is being executed, or when the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started after the control such as the freeze state is finished.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41, when executing the control such as the freeze state at the start of the game, navigates when the winning result of the internal lottery becomes a specific result (navigation target role). On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 is configured to start the navigation effect after the control such as the freeze state is ended while the main control unit 41 is started after the control such as the freeze state is ended. By starting the navigation notification, both the navigation notification and the navigation effect may be started after the control such as the freeze state is ended.

Here, main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1-1) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, when the replay GR11-16 is selected, depending on the stop order of the player, both special replay and red 7 replay or blue 7 replay are used. You can win a prize. In addition, it is possible to control the RT2 which is advantageous when a special replay and a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay are won, while being controlled to a freeze state when a red 7 replay or a blue 7 replay is won. However, when the special replay is won, it is not controlled to the frozen state, so that the period during which the special replay is controlled can be varied. As a result, at the time of winning the replay GR11-16, it is possible to improve the interest of the game until the replay winning is achieved.

  (1-2) In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 14, the number of determination values is determined so that the ratio of winning one of the replays GR 11 to 16 is the same. For this reason, for example, it is possible to eliminate the stop order in which the ratio of winning special replays is high, or the stop order in which the ratio of winning red 7 replays or blue 7 replays is high, thereby preventing bias.

  (1-3) In the above-described embodiment, the RT2 controlled at the time of special replay winning and the RT2 controlled at the time of red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning are in the same degree of advantage. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of advantages and disadvantages in order.

  (1-4) In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 24, when one of the replays GR11 to 16 is won, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not it is in a preparation state. The stop order suggested by the navigation notification is determined, the first internal winning command that can specify the stop order is output, and the sub-control unit 91 notifies the stop order that can be specified from the first internal winning command. . Thus, since the stop order to notify is determined on the main control unit 41 side, the processing load on the sub control unit 91 side can be reduced.

  (2-1) In the embodiment described above, in the ART that is AT and RT2, in the fall state in which the fall has fallen to RT1 due to the fall replay winning a prize or the stop of the transition, the ratio of the internal winning situation being off increases. However, as shown in FIG. 26, when the internal winning situation is lost in RT1, the same effect as the navigation notification / navigation effect that can be executed in RT2 is executed. For this reason, it is possible to execute a notification effect when the internal winning situation is lost in RT1 without increasing the amount of effect prepared in advance assuming a fall state in which the rate of loss increases.

  (2-2) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, when the internal winning situation is lost in the fall state, the same navigation notification is executed as when the internal winning situation is lost in ART. Therefore, the notification target can be matched between the ART and the fall state. In addition, when the internal winning situation is lost during the preparation state, the same navigation notification as that during the ART may be executed, or no navigation notification may be executed. That is, during the preparation state, the navigation notification may be the same as the fall state, or may be different from the fall state.

  (2-3) In the above-described embodiment, when the internal winning situation is lost in the fall state, the navigation notification of the “?” Suggestion that is the same as when the non-notifying target combination is won in the ART is executed. In addition, since the non-notification target combination is a winning combination that may be missed depending on the operation timing, there is a possibility that any winning combination will not occur without causing any winning combination. For this reason, the notification target can be matched between the ART and the fall state.

  (2-4) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, the ratio of the “?”-Suggested navigation notification executed during the ART and the “?”-Suggested when in the fall state. The execution ratio is determined so as to be substantially the same as the ratio at which the navigation notification is executed. For this reason, even in the fall state, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconvenience such as “?

  (2-5) In the above-described embodiment, the AT game number is subtracted and updated in accordance with the game digestion during the fall state. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a game in which the ART is ended and controlled in a fall state from being performed intentionally.

  (2-6) In the above-described embodiment, when the RT 2 can be controlled from the preparatory state that is not yet controlled by the RT 2 after winning the AT, the stop for winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay as a navigation notification While performing specific control by executing navigation notification that can specify the order, navigation notification that can specify the stop order for winning special replays as navigation notification when control from the fall state to RT2 becomes possible The specific control is not executed by executing. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the troublesomeness caused by the specific control being executed repeatedly in a series of ATs.

  (3-1) In the above-described embodiment, after the number of AT games is given as a right, the specific control is executed at the first control that is controlled by RT2 for the first time, and it falls even though it is once controlled by RT2. Since the specific control is not executed at the time of recontrol to shift to RT2 after entering the state, it is possible to prevent the player from being bothered.

  (3-2) In the embodiment described above, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is won at the time of the initial control, and special replay is awarded at the time of re-control. As shown in FIG. 25, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is won. Whether or not to execute the specific control can be set in advance based on the result so that the specific control is executed when the 7 replays are won and the specific control is not executed when the special replay is won.

  (3-3) In the above-described embodiment, it is possible to manage whether or not the specific control is executed at the time of winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay in consideration of whether or not the AT is being performed.

  (3-4) In the above-described embodiment, both the RT and the AT are managed by the main control unit 41. Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the state of the RT and the AT, and to easily establish a link.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment that can be applied to the present invention will be described.

[About the first display result and the second display result]
In the above-described embodiment, the special replay, red 7 replay, and blue 7 replay are illustrated as display results that trigger the advantageous state such as RT2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a predetermined internal winning situation is obtained. It may be a specific off-line that can be stopped on the pay line LN only when In addition, the display result that allows the specific control to be executed and the display result that does not execute the specific control may be either a winning display result that causes any winning or a specific off-point, either one of which May be a winning display result and the other may be a specific missed item.

[Advantageous state]
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the advantageous state controlled at the time of special replay winning and the advantageous state controlled at the time of red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning is the same RT2 has been described. However, the advantageous state to be controlled is not limited to RT, but may be a so-called big bonus, regular bonus, challenge bonus, concentrated state of small roles, AT, a state where the proportion controlled to these advantageous states is improved, etc. Good. Further, the advantageous state to be controlled may be a state where the advantageous degree for the player is different between the special replay winning and the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay winning. For example, the RT may be an RT having a different replay winning probability. If the bonus is to end with the number of medals to be paid out, it is controlled after a bonus with a different number of medals to be ended or after the bonus ends. Bonuses or the like having different states (one is controlled by ART and the other is controlled by RT1) may be used. In this way, the special replay, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay is controlled according to whether it is a special replay win, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay, so that the special replay and red 7 replay or blue 7 replay are won. It is possible to draw attention to the player and improve the interest of the game.

[About delay control]
In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, the example is described in which the freeze state is not controlled at the time of special replay winning and the freeze state is controlled at the time of red 7 replay or blue 7 replay winning. However, this is not limited to this, as long as the period during which the freeze state is different between the special replay winning and the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay winning, for example, the first period (eg, 0 .1 second), and in the red 7 replay or blue 7 replay winning, the freeze state may be controlled for a longer period (for example, 10 seconds) than the first period. In addition, the period for controlling the freeze state may be determined every time the freeze state is controlled. In this case, for example, the expected value of the period determined at the time of winning the red 7 replay or the blue 7 replay is more special. It is only necessary that the period to be determined and the determination ratio are determined so as to be longer than the expected value of the period determined at the time of replay winning.

[Notification effect at the time of falling in the fall state]
In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26, when the internal winning situation in the fall state is lost, the same navigation notification as the navigation notification that is executed when it is lost during ART can be executed. Explained. However, the navigation notification (notification effect) may not be executed when the internal winning situation in the fall state is out of place. Thereby, it is possible to cope with a case where the fall occurs in a fall state without increasing the production amount prepared in advance. Note that this is particularly effective in a slot machine in which navigation notification is not executed when a failure occurs during ART.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the navigation notification that is executed when a failure occurs and the navigation notification that is executed when a non-notification target combination is won are the same notification effect. In addition to the above, different notification effects may be executed at the time of losing and at the time of winning the non-notification target combination. Further, the notification effect at the time of winning the non-notification target role is not limited to the “?” Suggestion shown in FIG. 26, but instead of or in addition to this, it is suggested that the winning winning combination among the non-notification target roles can be specified. You may make it perform the navigation alerting | reporting to perform. For example, when a strong cherry or a weak cherry is won, a cherry image reminiscent of cherry may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a notification effect.

  In the above-described embodiment, the execution ratio is set so that the frequency of the “?” Suggestion is substantially the same during the ART and the fall state in consideration of the ratio of deviation between the ART and the fall state. However, the execution ratio may be determined to be exactly the same.

  The non-notification target combination is exemplified by a specific small combination, but is not limited to this. For example, a challenge bonus that ends with a payout equal to or less than the maximum payout number of medals in one game, or the next one after winning a prize. A single bonus or the like that increases the probability of winning a small role in the game may be applied. In this case, the “?” Suggestion may be executed as a notification effect when a single bonus is won, and the “?” Suggestion may be executed even when the player falls off in the fall state.

[Specific control]
In the above-described embodiment, any of the replays GR11 to 16 during AT is used as a means for preventing specific control from being executed redundantly when controlled to RT2 from a fall state, as shown in FIGS. Depending on whether or not the crab is won, depending on whether or not it is in the preparation state, the stop order that can be specified by the navigation notification is changed, and when it is in the preparation state, the red 7 replay prize or the blue 7 replay prize is awarded. An example in which specific control is executed when the stop order can be notified and a red 7 replay winning or a blue 7 replay winning is described. However, the means for preventing the specific control from being repeatedly executed when the fall state is controlled to RT2 is not limited to this.

  For example, it is possible to determine whether the main control unit 41 is in a preparation state or a fall state. Specifically, after winning in the ART lottery, the main control unit 41 determines that it is in a ready state when it is not yet controlled to RT2, and once it is controlled to RT2 after winning, it falls to RT1 and then again It is determined that the vehicle is in the fall state until controlled by RT2. With this configuration, the main control unit 41, when winning one of the replays GR11 to 16 during the AT, regardless of whether it is in a ready state, the special replay winning, the red 7 replay winning, and Even if any of the replays wins, the stop order for generating any of the Blue 7 Replay wins can be notified (for example, the first internal winning command that can specify the stop order is output). When it is determined that the main control unit 41 is in the preparation state, the process for executing the specific control shown in FIG. 25 is executed, and the main control unit 41 is in the fall state instead of the preparation state. Specific control may not be executed when it is determined. As a result, specific control is performed when control from the ready state to ART is possible, while specific control is not performed when control from the fall state to ART is possible. Therefore, specific control is repeated during a series of ATs. It is possible to reduce the troublesomeness caused by the execution.

  In this case, the common winning combination or the outcome may be determined regardless of whether the winning combination or the outcome of the transition to RT2 is in the ready state or the falling state. (One kind may be provided). The main control unit 41 determines whether the winning combination for shifting to RT2 occurs or the state when the predetermined outcome is stopped is a preparation state or a fall state, and determines that it is in a preparation state 25, the process for executing the specific control shown in FIG. 25 may be executed, and the specific control may not be executed when it is determined that the vehicle is in the fall state instead of the preparation state. As a result, even when the same winning combination occurs or the same outcome is stopped, specific control can be executed according to the state at that time. For example, the winning combination or output for executing the specific control is specified. There is no need to mount a winning combination or an outcome that does not execute control.

[Contents of navigation notification when replay GR11-16 is selected]
In the embodiment described above, when one of the replays GR11 to 16 is selected during AT, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not it is in a preparation state, and the main control unit 41 navigates according to the determination result. An example has been described in which the stop order that can be specified by notification is made different so that the stop order for red 7 replay winning or blue 7 replay winning can be notified when in the preparation state. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when the main control unit 41 wins any of the replays GR11 to 16 during AT, the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command that can specify the type, and the sub-control unit 91 is in the ready state. The stop order that can be specified by navigation notification according to the determination result is changed, and the stop order in which the red 7 replay prize or the blue 7 replay prize is awarded when in the preparation state is notified. You may make it possible. In this case, the main control unit 41 is configured to execute the specific control when the red 7 replay winning or the blue 7 replay winning occurs based on only the display result, and not to execute the specific control at other times. Also good. Thereby, the control burden can be shared between the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91.

[About benefits]
In the above-described embodiment, the number of AT games that can be controlled by the AT is illustrated as a privilege. However, for example, the right (navigation stock) that allows the AT to control a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) may be used as a privilege. Further, when the number of times that navigation notification can be performed is determined and the AT is controlled until the navigation notification is executed for the determined number of times that navigation notification can be executed, Good.

  Further, for example, when the upper limit grant amount is determined and the AT is controlled until the assigned game value (medal payout number) reaches the determined upper limit grant amount, the upper limit grant amount may be a privilege. In addition, when the AT is controlled until the predetermined AT end condition is satisfied after the predetermined AT start condition is satisfied, and when the continuous lottery for determining whether or not the AT is continued when the AT end condition is satisfied, it is continued. The continuation probability determined to continue in the lottery may be used as a privilege.

  In the above-described embodiment, the number of AT games, which is a value that directly affects the payout rate of medals, is exemplified as the privilege. However, the privilege may be a value that improves the degree of advantage for the player, and may be a value that does not directly affect the medal payout rate, for example. Specifically, in the case where there is a high probability state in which AT winning is performed with higher probability than usual in the AT lottery, a probability suggestion effect for suggesting whether or not the current state is a high probability state Execution, execution of a premier effect with sound on the liquid crystal display 51 (special character appearance, execution of special bonus effect in the next generated bonus, etc.), execution of a set value suggestion effect to suggest a set value that has been set , QR code (registered trademark) that can collect points that can be exchanged for services determined at the amusement shop where the slot machine 1 is installed by collecting a certain number, and download bonus videos and bonus information on a predetermined website ) May be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

[About navigation notification]
In the above-described embodiment, navigation notification is not executed for all internal lotteries in RT2 after the end of ART, but in RT2, navigation notification in push order is avoided to avoid derivation of the transition outcome when at least the bell is won. If not executed, navigation notification may be executed for other internal lotteries.

[About production and notification]
In the above-described embodiment, an example is given in which the liquid crystal display 51 is used to produce effects and notifications. For example, speakers 53 and 54, a back lamp (reel of the above embodiment) arranged on the back side (inside) of the reel. LED 55), a transmissive liquid crystal display arranged on the front side of the reel (a liquid crystal display configured so that the reel can be seen), a lamp or LED mounted on the front door, the vibration of the stop switch, the periphery of the stop switch The effect may be executed by means different from the above-described embodiment, such as air blowing from the air or a change in the temperature of the stop switch.

[About AT]
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the main control unit 41 executes the control related to the AT has been described, but as the control related to the AT executed by the main control unit 41, execution of an AT lottery is exemplified. The AT lottery may include winning or non-winning AT lottery, determining whether or not to stock the number of AT games, determining the number of AT games, adding the number of AT games, and the like. In addition, as a control related to the AT, there is a control in a high probability state of the AT lottery. For the control of the high probability state of AT lottery, the control that increases the probability of winning the AT lottery, the control that shortens the period until the AT is controlled according to the result of the internal lottery, the winning probability of the extra lottery and the game Includes controls that favor numbers. Further, as control related to AT, it is possible to control to AT when a prescribed number of games have been consumed. The case where the prescribed number of games have been consumed includes the case where the ceiling game number is reached and the case where the number of games determined by lottery is reached. Further, as control related to AT, control for setting a precursor period can be cited. The control for setting the precursor period includes, for example, control for producing effects of 0 to 32 games in the precursor period before the start of AT. Moreover, control which gives a penalty is mentioned as control which concerns on AT. The control for giving a penalty includes determination of penalty contents and determination or setting of a penalty period. In addition, as control related to AT, the main control unit 41 performs lighting control of a lamp and an LED indicating that AT is in progress.

  Moreover, as control concerning AT, it is mentioned that the main control part 41 performs lighting control of the lamp and LED for performing navigation alerting | reporting. Further, the sub control unit 91 may execute the navigation notification in conjunction with the main control unit 41 executing the navigation notification.

  When the main control unit 41 executes the control related to the AT, it is preferable that the process of the main control unit 41 is executed by the control unit subordinate to the main control unit 41 and subordinate to the main control unit 41. . For example, the control unit provided on the board other than the game control board executes the reel stop control, and the main control unit 41 transfers the operation signal of the stop switch to the control unit. In this way, by causing the lower-level control unit to perform the control of the main control unit 41, it is possible to prevent the capacity of the ROM 41b and the RAM 41c from being insufficient and the processing capacity of the main CPU 41a from being insufficient when performing the control related to the AT.

  In the above-described embodiment, the main control unit 41 executes the control related to the AT. However, the sub control unit 91 may execute the control. The sub-control unit 91 performs, for example, an AT lottery process or an extra lottery process based on an internal winning command from the main control unit 41, and executes a process for controlling the AT or a navigation notification according to the result. Processing or the like may be performed.

[Setting change status and setting check status]
With regard to the setting change state, it is also possible to shift to the setting change state on condition that “power ON” + “setting key switch ON” + “front door opening detection”. Thereby, an unauthorized setting change in a state where the front door is not opened can be prevented. Once the setting change state is entered, the setting change state is maintained regardless of the open / closed state of the front door until the end condition (setting key switch is turned OFF after setting value is established) is satisfied. You may make it do. As a result, even if the front door is closed during the setting change state, the setting change state is not terminated, so that it is possible to prevent the trouble of shifting to the setting change state again.

  In addition, regarding the setting confirmation state, “setting key switch ON” + “front door opening detection” may be used as a condition to shift to the setting confirmation state. Thereby, unauthorized setting confirmation in the state where the front door is not opened can be prevented. Once the setting confirmation state has been entered, the setting confirmation state is maintained regardless of whether the front door is open or closed until an end condition (setting key switch is turned OFF) for ending the setting confirmation state is satisfied. Also good. Thereby, even if the front door is closed during the setting confirmation state, the setting confirmation state is not terminated, and therefore it is possible to prevent the trouble of shifting to the setting confirmation state again.

[Modification of slot machine]
In the above embodiment, the slot machine that pays out game media to the player's hand according to the occurrence of a win has been described. However, the game medium is enclosed, and the game media is paid out to the player's hand when a win occurs. An enclosing slot machine that adds game points (scores) without any change may be adopted. The base and the drum can be distributed, and the chassis is common and only the base or the base and the drum is called a gaming machine. In addition, the slot machine has a game area in which a game ball can be launched and a game can be played, and a betting amount can be set according to the game ball passing through a predetermined area provided in the game area. May be.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
