JP 2012-65872 A

  However, in the slot machine described in Patent Document 1, when the specific display result is derived, the predetermined state is only terminated, and it has not been advantageous to the player. I could not.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and its purpose is a slot machine capable of improving the interest of a game even when a specific display result that is not advantageous to the player is derived. Is to provide.

(1) A plurality of variable display sections (reels 2L, 2C, 2R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each capable of being identified,
In the slot machine capable of deriving a display result by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after variably displaying the variable display unit, and deriving a combination of display results of the plurality of variable display units,
As a combination of the display results, the first combination (seven-matched eyes (7 lip 2) shown in the column of chance lip 4 to 6 in FIG. 11) and some of the variable display units are included. A second combination (7 shown in the columns of chance replies 1 to 3 in FIG. 11) is the same as the first combination and the display results of the variable display units other than the part of the variable display units are different from the first combination. A combination determining means (main control unit 41) for determining a combination that allows derivation from a plurality of types of combinations including a balance-off (Tip 2 or Lip 3));
The first combination can be derived when the determination result of the combination determination unit is the first determination result (any one of chance lips 4 to 6 in FIG. 11), and the determination result of the combination determination unit is the second determination Derivation control means (main control unit 41) capable of deriving the second combination when the result is one of the chance lips 1 to 3 in FIG. 11;
A privilege (navigation stock) can be given when the number of times that the determination result of the combination determination means becomes the first determination result reaches a predetermined number (one time) (as shown in the sixth condition of FIG. 17). , When one of the chance replies 4 to 6 is won, the navigation notification is executed, and the seventh round is derived, the AT lottery is executed), and the determination result of the combination determination means is the second determination result. When the number of times reached the predetermined number of times, the privilege is not granted, and when the number of times reaches a specific number (for example, two times) greater than the predetermined number of times, the privilege can be given (for example, FIG. As shown in 7 conditions, if any of the 2 consecutive games wins any one of chance replies 1 to 3, navigation notification is executed, and if the 7th tempering out is derived, AT lottery is executed) Means (main system And part 41),
A specific state in which a predetermined state (RT1) and a ratio at which the determination result of the combination determination unit becomes the first determination result and a ratio at which the determination result of the combination determination unit becomes the second determination result are both higher than the predetermined state (As shown in FIG. 11, state control means (main control unit 41) that can be controlled in any one of a plurality of types of states including (RT3 in which the winning probability of each of the chance replies 1 to 6 is higher than RT1) Is provided.

  According to such a configuration, in the specific state, not only the ratio at which the determination result of the combination determination means becomes the first determination result but also the ratio at which the determination result of the combination determination means becomes the second determination result is high. Since the privilege can be given even when the number of times reaches the specific number, the player's attention can be attracted to the derived second combination, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above,
A derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player for deriving the display result;
The first determination result is determined by operating the derivation operation means in the operation procedure for deriving the first combination (when any of chance replies 4 to 6 is determined based on the table of FIG. Determination of whether or not to perform navigation notification for deriving eyes)
The second determination result includes a determination result on an operation procedure to the derivation operation means for deriving the second combination (when one of the chance replies 1 to 3 is determined based on the table of FIG. 7 determination of whether or not to execute navigation notification for deriving a departure from the Tempe.

  According to such a configuration, the first combination is determined based not only on whether to permit the derivation of the first combination and the second combination but also on the operation procedure for deriving the first combination and the second combination. Since the combination and the second combination can be derived, the ratio of deriving the first combination and the second combination can be finely adjusted.

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
A derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player for deriving the display result;
The first determination result includes a determination result capable of deriving the first combination when the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation procedure (for example, in the middle of right and left) (for example, a game won by chance lip 4) In the case of the operation at the left middle right, the seventh round is derived)
The second determination result includes a determination result capable of deriving the second combination when the derivation operation means is operated in the same operation procedure (for example, left and right) as the predetermined operation procedure (for example, a chance) In the game in which Lip 1 is won, when the player operates left, right, and right, the 7th tempered outing is derived).

  According to such a configuration, the operation procedure to be derived can be made common between the first combination and the second combination, which can be easily understood by the player.

(4) In any of the slot machines (1) to (3) above,
The first combination is a combination of display results in which the identification information on one line (winning line LN in FIG. 1) straddling the plurality of variable display portions becomes specific identification information (the 7th line is a winning line) The white 7 is on the LN)
In the second combination, until all the variable displays of the plurality of variable display units are stopped, the identification information on one line across the plurality of variable display units becomes the specific identification information (white 7) (second Until the stop, white 7 is aligned on the winning line LN), and when all the variable displays of the plurality of variable display units are stopped, the identification information on the one line is different from the identification information different from the specific identification information. (The third stopped reel is displayed with a symbol different from that of the white 7. For example, in the game where the chance lip 2 is won, the lip a of the area number 13 is the winning line LN. (When the right third stop is performed at a predetermined timing of stopping upward, the white 7 is not displayed for the right reel 2R).

  According to such a configuration, since the specific identification information is displayed on one line in all the variable display units other than the one variable display unit, the tension is displayed until the identification information is displayed on all the variable display units. A feeling can be maintained. Further, in the one variable display section, the specific identification information is displayed in the first combination, and the specific identification information is not displayed in the second combination. Therefore, it is easy to understand which of the first combination and the second combination is derived. can do.

(5) In any of the slot machines (1) to (4) above,
Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player for deriving the display result;
The procedure information that can specify the operation procedure (stop switch pressing order) to the derivation operation means is classified into a first notification mode (small navigation notification) and a second notification mode that has a higher advantage than the first notification mode ( Notification effect execution means (sub-control unit 91) for notification in any of a plurality of types of notification modes including large navigation notification).

  According to such a configuration, attention can be paid to the mode of the notification effect to be executed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(6) In any of the slot machines (1) to (5) above,
When the number of times that the determination result of the combination determination unit becomes the second determination result reaches the specific number of times (when any of the seventh to ninth conditions in FIG. 17 is satisfied), A privilege grant determining means for executing a decision control (AT lottery) for making a decision related to the privilege,
The privilege grant determining means executes the same determination control regardless of whether the privilege is determined in the predetermined state or the specific state (as indicated by the asterisk * in the lower part of FIG. 17). The AT lottery table is applied in common to all RTs).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the burden of decision control for making a decision related to a privilege.
(7) In any of the slot machines (1) to (6) above,

Derivation operation means (stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated by the player for deriving the display result;
An operation procedure notifying means (game auxiliary indicator 12) capable of recognizing the operation procedure (push order) of the derivation operation means;
The game control means includes
Operation procedure determining means (AT lottery shown in FIG. 17) for determining whether or not to notify the operation procedure (push order) of the derivation operating means;
When it is determined that the operation procedure is notified by the operation procedure determination unit (AT lottery) (when controlled by the AT), the derivation operation unit (stop switch) is operated by the operation procedure notification unit (game auxiliary indicator 12). 8L, 8C, 8R) including a notification control means (navigation notification) for performing control to notify the operation procedure (push order) in an identifiable manner,
The derivation control means is predetermined when it is operated in a specific operation procedure (middle left and right pushing order) when the determination result of the combination determination means is a predetermined determination result (for example, uplift lip 2 in FIG. 11). Control is performed so that the display result (Lip 4) can be derived, and when the determination result of the combination determination means is a specific determination result (for example, chance Lip 5), the operation is performed according to the specific operation procedure (middle left and right pressing order). Control is performed so that a specific display result (seven uniforms) different from the predetermined display result can be derived,
The operation procedure notifying unit notifies the specific operation procedure (middle left and right pressing order) in an identifiable manner when the determination result of the combination determination unit is the predetermined determination result, and the determination of the combination determination unit When the result is the specific determination result, the specific operation procedure (middle left and right pressing order) is notified in an identifiable manner, and the game auxiliary display 12 is displayed as shown in FIG. (The color to be changed is blue when winning uplift lip 2 and orange when winning up chance lip 5).

  According to such a configuration, in the configuration including the game control means and the effect control means, the game control means performs control to notify the operation procedure of the derivation operation means in an identifiable manner by the operation procedure notification means. Even if an abnormality occurs, it is possible to prevent the player's advantage from being affected.

  In addition, when the operation procedure notifying means is a predetermined determination result from which a predetermined display result is derived when operated by a specific operation procedure, it is not a predetermined display result when operated by the same specific operation procedure. Even when the display result is the specific determination result derived and when the same specific operation procedure is identifiably notified, the operation identified by the notification of the operation procedure notification means is notified in different notification modes. Even if the procedure is the same, the display result derived by the notification mode at that time can be recognized.

In this case, it may be configured to perform control for deriving the predetermined display result only when operated by a part of the operation procedures, or the predetermined display result may be derived when operated by all the operation procedures. The structure which performs control to perform may be sufficient.

  Further, when the derivation control means performs the control so that the specific display result can be derived when operated by the specific operation procedure when the determination result of the combination determination unit is the specific determination result, the specific operation procedure includes In the case of including a plurality of operation procedures, it may be configured to perform control for deriving a specific display result only when operated by some of the operation procedures, or the specific display result may be displayed when operated by all the operation procedures. The structure which performs control to derive | lead-out may be sufficient.

  The specific operation procedure may be a fixed operation procedure, or may be an operation procedure determined randomly from a plurality of operation procedures.

  In addition, different notification modes include notification in different colors, notification by switching display in which one is display and the other is display / non-display, notification with different display / non-display switching speed, notification with different display contents, and the like. .

  In addition, when the predetermined determination result and the specific determination result are operated according to a specific operation procedure, the former is a combination of the first identification information on one line, whereas the latter is the first line. The combination of the second identification information different from the combination of the first identification information is derived, or when the former is operated in a specific operation procedure, the combination of the specific identification information is derived in the first line. On the other hand, in the latter case, a combination of specific identification information is derived on a second line different from the first line, and the first can be used for a game when operated by a specific operation procedure. A predetermined display result with the addition of a number of gaming values is derived, whereas the latter is a specific display result with the addition of a second number of gaming values, operated in a specific operating procedure In the case where the predetermined display result with the game value is given by the former The specific display result with the replay being given or the transition of the game state is derived in contrast to the latter being issued, the predetermined display result with the replay being given when the former is operated in a specific operation procedure In the case where the latter is derived, a specific display result with a transition of the gaming state is derived, and when the former is operated in a specific operation procedure, the former is a predetermined display with a transition to the first gaming state. The result is derived, while the latter is derived from the specific display result accompanied by the transition to the second gaming state different from the first gaming state, and the combination thereof.

  As an example of operation means, the front door 1b has a predetermined number of bets determined according to the gaming state within a credit range stored as a gaming value (medal number) owned by the player. The MAXBET switch 6 operated by the user, the settlement switch 10 operated when the credit and the set bet number are settled and returned, the start switch 7 operated when starting the game, and the rotation of the reels 2L to 2R. Stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R and the like that are operated when stopping are provided.

  Of the three reels 2L, 2C, and 2R that have started to rotate, the reel that stops first is referred to as a first stop reel, and the stop is referred to as a first stop. Similarly, the reel that stops second is called the second stop reel, the stop is called second stop, the reel that stops third is called the third stop reel, and the stop is the third stop. Alternatively, it is called final stop. Of the three reels 2L, 2C and 2R, the first stop of the left reel 2L is the first stop of the left, the first stop of the middle reel 2C is the first stop of the middle, and the right reel 2R is the first stop. This is called right first stop. Further, the left middle right refers to an operation push order in which the middle reel 2C is second stopped after the left reel 2L is first stopped. Left and right middle refers to an operation push order in which the right reel 2R is second stopped after the left reel 2L is first stopped. Middle left and right refers to an operation push order in which the left reel 2L is second stopped after the middle reel 2C is first stopped. The middle right / left refers to an operation push order in which the right reel 2R is second stopped after the middle reel 2C is first stopped. The middle right and left refers to an operation push order in which the left reel 2L is second stopped after the right reel 2R is first stopped. “Right middle left” refers to an operation push order in which the middle reel 2C is second stopped after the right reel 2R is first stopped.

  The front door 1b is provided with a game display unit 13 for notifying information related to a game as an example of a notification unit. The game display unit 13 includes a credit display 11 that displays the number of medals stored as credits, a game auxiliary display 12 that displays a medal payout number and an error code when an error occurs, and a set bet. 1BETLED14 for informing the number, 2BETLED15, 3BETLED16, insertion request LED17 for informing that the medal can be inserted, start valid LED18 for informing that the game can be started by operating the start switch 7, start switch Waiting LED 19 for notifying that the weight is in a state of waiting for the start of rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R since a certain period of time has not elapsed since the start of the previous game, after the replay winning Replay to inform you that you are in a replay game LED20 is provided in. Hereinafter, the start switch operation (that is, the operation of rotating the three reels) in a state where the betting number is set appropriately is referred to as a lever-on operation.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of each reel. As shown in FIG. 2, on the outer periphery of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, "white 7a" (for example, the design of the area number 16 of the left reel 2L) and "white 7b" (for example, the area of the left reel 2L) No. 19 symbol), “White 7c” (for example, the symbol of area number 3 on the left reel 2L), “Watermelon a” (for example, the symbol of area number 15 on the left reel 2L), “Watermelon b” (for example, left (Design of area number 1 on reel 2L), "cherry" (eg, design of area number 2 on left reel 2L), "bell a" (eg, design of area number 21 on left reel 2L), "bell b" ( For example, the symbol of the area number 18 of the left reel 2L), “lip a” (for example, the pattern of the area number 20 of the left reel 2L), and “lip b” (for example, the pattern of the area number 8 of the left reel 2L) Identifiable multiple Symbol of the kind is depicted in a predetermined order, one by 21, respectively.

  “White 7b” and “White 7c” are both common in that they are based on the design of “White 7a”, and “White 7b” has a vertical line at the upper left corner, and “White 7c” is different in that a line is added in the horizontal direction at the bottom. For this reason, although “white 7a” to “white 7c” are symbols of different types, they are collectively referred to as white 7 because they have similar external shapes. “Watermelon b” is common in that it is based on the design of “watermelon a”, and is different in that a line is added in the horizontal direction at the top. For this reason, “watermelon a” and “watermelon b” have different types of symbols, but since the external shapes are similar, they are collectively referred to as watermelon. “Bell b” is common in that it is based on the design of “Bell a”, and the color of the sphere portion of the tongue is different in black. For this reason, “Bell a” and “Bell b” are different types of symbols, but since the external shapes are similar, they are collectively referred to as bells. “Lip b” is common in that it is based on the design of “Lip a”, and is different in that an underline is added to the character “REPLAY”. For this reason, “Lip a” and “Lip b” are different types of symbols, but since the external shapes are similar, they are collectively referred to as “lip”.

  The symbols drawn on the outer peripheries of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are displayed in upper, middle, and lower three stages in the see-through window 3 provided in the approximate center of the reel panel of the front door 1b. The number of reels is not limited to three, and may be one or two or more. Moreover, although the variable display part has shown the example comprised by the physical reel, you may be comprised by image display apparatuses, such as a liquid crystal display.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, a predetermined number of bets (for example, 3) are set by inserting medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid, the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. If medals are inserted with the bet number set, the amount is added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line for determining whether a combination of symbols displayed on the see-through windows 3 of the reels 2L to 2R is a winning symbol combination. In the present embodiment, an example in which only one winning line LN is provided will be described. However, a plurality of winning lines may be provided. In addition, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided to make it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the winning line is aligned with the winning line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are not determined as winning lines, but when a combination of specific winning symbols (so-called disparity) is aligned on the winning line LN, any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 has a predetermined symbol. By aligning the combinations, it is easy to recognize that the combinations of symbols constituting a specific prize are aligned on the winning line LN.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L to 2R are rotated to display the symbols variably, and when the stop switches 8L to 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. The three symbols are derived and displayed as display results on the upper, middle, and lower stages of the fluoroscopic window 3. As symbols to be derived and displayed (display results), those that can be selected include symbols that are displayed on the LN when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and symbols that are four frames ahead, A total of 5 symbols.

  When a combination of winning symbols stops on the winning line LN and a winning occurs, a predetermined number of medals are given to the player according to the winning and the credit is added or the credit reaches the upper limit (50). In this case, medals are paid out from the medal payout exit 9.

  5 to 7 are diagrams for explaining the names of winning combinations, combinations of symbols of winning combinations, general games, and remarks. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a special outcome that is stopped on the winning lie LN only when a predetermined small combination is missed. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41.

  The name column of FIGS. 5 to 7 shows the name of the winning combination, and the symbol combination column shows the combination of symbols in which the winning combination becomes a winning. In the general game column, a game value to be given is shown. In the remarks column of FIG. 7, names based on symbol combinations are shown. The replaying combinations include eight types of replaying combinations such as Lips 1 to 6 and 7 Lips 1 and 2 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

  In the description of the symbol combination in this embodiment, “-” indicates “adjacent reel separation”, the left indicates “the symbol of the left reel 2L”, the middle indicates “the symbol of the middle reel 2C”, and the right Indicates the “design of the right reel 2R”. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the combinations of Lip 1 are “Lip a-Lip a-Lip a”, “Lip a-Lip a-Lip b”, “Lip a-Lip a-Watermelon a”, “Lip “a-lip a-watermelon b”, “lip a-lip b-lip a”, “lip a-lip b-lip b”, “lip a-lip b-watermelon a”, “lip a-lip b-watermelon” "b", "lip b-lip a-lip a", "lip b-lip a-lip b", "lip b-lip a-watermelon a", "lip b-lip a-watermelon b", "lip b -Lip b-Lip a "," Lip b-Lip b-Lip b "," Lip b-Lip b-Watermelon a ", and" Lip b-Lip b-Watermelon b " means. Further, when Lip 1 wins, a replay is awarded.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a symbol combination of the transition outcome. For the transition, the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 (see FIG. 10), which are the push order bells, are elected, and the reels other than the reels that are the winning conditions for the middle bell are the first stops. And, if the top bell that has been won is missed, it is an outcome that matches the winning line LN.

  FIG. 9A is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41. The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is controlled to one of RTs corresponding to a time from when the start condition is satisfied to when the end condition is satisfied, among RT0 to RT3 in which replay is won with a predetermined winning probability (FIG. 9). (See the winning combination or the outcome shown along the arrow). The types of replays to be randomly selected are determined for each RT type. For example, when it is controlled by RT1, when Lip 4 wins, it is controlled by RT2.

  FIG. 9B is a diagram for explaining an example of the reel stop output at the time of winning a Lip 5 (falling lip) winning, which is a trigger for the transition from RT2 to RT1. In FIG. 9B, the region numbers 7-9 of the left reel 2L are stopped, the region numbers 9-11 of the middle reel 2C are stopped, and the region numbers 7-9 of the right reel 2R are stopped. As a result, the symbol combination of the falling lip “Lip a-Lip a-Bell a” is stopped on the winning lie LN.

  On the other hand, FIG. 9C is a diagram for explaining an example of the reel stop appearance at the time of winning a Lip 4 (promotional lip) winning the transition from RT1 to RT2. In FIG. 9C, the region numbers 8 to 10 of the left reel 2L are stopped, the region numbers 9 to 11 of the middle reel 2C are stopped, and the region numbers 7 to 9 of the right reel 2R are stopped. As a result, the symbol combination of the promotion lip winning of “bell a-lip a-bell a” is stopped on the winning lie LN. At the time of promotion lip winning, the symbol combinations “lip a-lip a-lip a” are all stopped on the invalid line LM4. This makes it easier for the player to recognize the promotion lip winning. The promotion lip is a winning combination that is an opportunity to control RT2, which is advantageous for the player. As a result, it is easy for the player to recognize that the control has been made to RT2.

  FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are diagrams showing combinations of lottery object combinations that are read as lottery object combinations for each gaming state. The lottery target role column indicates the name, and the game status column indicates that the lottery target role is subject to lottery for each RT type, and the winning probability is indicated by the numerical value under the circle. The number of determination values involved is shown, and the reel control indicates the content of the control executed by the main control unit executed in the game in which the lottery object combination is won.

  For example, in Chance Lip 1 shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability at RT1 is 500/65536, the winning probability at RT2 is 900/65536, the winning probability at RT3 is 1000/65536, and the winning probability at RT0 do not do. Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 1 is won, two white 7s are displayed on the winning lie LN when the second stop is performed regardless of the operation timing when operated in the left / right / middle push order. It becomes a tempered state (hereinafter referred to as “7 tempered”). Thereafter, when the third stop is performed, regardless of the timing of the third stop, the white 7 is not stopped on the winning lie LN and the lip 3 wins. As shown in FIG. 5, the Lip 3 is a winning combination in which the white 7 is not aligned with the winning line LN. In this way, after the 7 tempers are made, the outcome that is derived without the white 7 being aligned with the winning line LN is referred to as “7 tempers out of sight”.

  Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 1 is won, when the operation is performed in a pressing order other than left and right, the lip 1 wins without being tempered regardless of the operation timing. As shown in FIG. 5, Lip 1 is a winning combination in which 7 is not aligned on the winning line LN. In this way, an outcome derived without 7 tempering is referred to as “7 non-tempered losing outcome”.

  In the chance lip 2 shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability at RT1 is 500/65536, the winning probability at RT2 is 900/65536, the winning probability at RT3 is 1000/65536, and it is not won at RT0. Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 2 is won, when the operation is performed in the middle / left / right pushing order, the 7th tempered outing is derived regardless of the operation timing (the lip 2 wins). Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 2 is won, when the operation is performed in a pressing order other than middle and left and right, the 7th non-tempered departure is derived regardless of the operation timing (Lip 1 wins).

  In the chance lip 3 shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability at RT1 is 500/65536, the winning probability at RT2 is 900/65536, the winning probability at RT3 is 1000/65536, and it is not won at RT0. Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 3 is won, when the operation is performed in the order of pressing the middle left and right, the 7th tempered outing is derived regardless of the operation timing (the lip 3 wins). Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 3 is won, when the operation is performed in a pressing order other than the middle left and right, the 7th non-tempered departure is derived regardless of the operation timing (Lip 1 wins).

  In the chance lip 4 shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability at RT1 is 100/65536, the winning probability at RT2 is 200/65536, the winning probability at RT3 is 300/65536, and it is not won at RT0. In addition, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 4 is won, when operated in the left / right / middle push order, it becomes 7 temperature regardless of the operation timing, and after that, when the third stop, Regardless of the timing, 7 Lip 2 wins. As shown in FIG. 6, 7 Lip 2 is a winning combination in which 7 are aligned on the winning line LN. In this way, an outcome derived by aligning 7 on the derived winning line LN (that is, 7 Lip 2) is referred to as “7 aligned outcome”.

  Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 4 is won, when the operation is performed in a pressing order other than left and right, a 7 non-tempered outing is derived regardless of the operation timing (Lip 1 wins).

  In the chance lip 5 shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability at RT1 is 100/65536, the winning probability at RT2 is 200/65536, the winning probability at RT3 is 300/65536, and it is not won at RT0. Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 5 is won, when the operation is performed in the middle / left / right pushing order, seven uniforms are derived regardless of the operation timing (7 lip 2 wins). Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 5 is won, when the operation is performed in a pressing order other than middle and left and right, the 7th non-tempered departure is derived regardless of the operation timing (Lip 1 wins).

  In the chance lip 6 shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability at RT1 is 100/65536, the winning probability at RT2 is 200/65536, the winning probability at RT3 is 300/65536, and it is not won at RT0. Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 6 is won, when the operation is performed in the order of the right and left middle pushes, the 7th uniform outcome is derived regardless of the operation timing (7 lip 2 wins). Further, as reel control in the game in which the chance lip 6 is won, when the operation is performed in a pressing order other than middle and left and right, the 7th non-tempered departure is derived regardless of the operation timing (Lip 1 wins).

  As described above, both the pushing order in which the 7 Tempe outing points are derived when the chance lip 1 is won and the pushing order in which the 7 uniforms are obtained when the chance lip 4 is won are both left and right. The pushing order in which the 7th tempered outing is derived when the chance lip 2 is won and the pushing order in which the 7th uniform is obtained when the chance lip 5 is won are both right and left. The pushing order in which the 7th tempered outing is derived when the chance lip 3 is won and the pushing order in which the 7th uniform is obtained when the chance lip 6 is won are both right and left. Therefore, it can be said that each of the chance replies 1 to 3 corresponds to each of the chance replies 4 to 6.

  In addition, in a game in which navigation notification is executed (navigation notification game), an AT lottery is executed when seven uniforms are derived once. The navigation notification is notification of an advantageous pressing order for stopping a symbol combination advantageous to the player on the winning line LN. The navigation notification can be executed on both the liquid crystal display 51 and the game auxiliary display 12 (see FIG. 18). The liquid crystal display 51 is provided with a left region corresponding to the left stop switch 8L, a middle region corresponding to the middle stop switch 8C, and a right region corresponding to the right stop switch 8R. In the navigation notification on the liquid crystal display 51, for example, when reporting the middle left and right, "2" is displayed in the left area, "3" is displayed in the middle area, and "1" is displayed in the right area. Is displayed to inform the player that the operation is performed in the order of pressing the middle left and right.

  In addition, when the 7 Tempe Outgoing is derived in all two consecutive games, and when the 7 Tempe Outing is derived in all three consecutive games, the 7 Tempe outing is derived in all four consecutive games. In each case, the AT lottery is executed (see the seventh to ninth conditions in FIG. 17). Therefore, when chance replies 1 to 6 are won, it is advantageous for the player. In addition, when one of chance lips 1 to 3 is won and when one of chance lips 4 to 6 is won, it is more advantageous for the player when one of chance lips 4 to 6 is won. It becomes. This is because, when one of the chance replies 4 to 6 is won, an AT lottery is executed when one of the seven rounds that can be derived is derived, while one of the chance replies 1 to 3 is won. This is because the AT lottery is not executed unless the 7-tempered outing which can be sometimes derived is derived twice or more.

[About AT]
The main control unit 41 performs, for example, an AT lottery process for lottering whether to control to an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) when a predetermined AT lottery condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery condition is satisfied when a predetermined AT lottery target role is won (see the first to fifth conditions in FIG. 17), and when the predetermined outcome is derived. (Sixth to ninth conditions in FIG. 17).

  When it is determined that the AT is controlled and the AT is won, the sub-control unit 91 performs an AT notification effect for notifying the player of the AT winning, and then the main control unit 41 performs an AT control process for controlling the AT. . In the AT lottery process according to the present embodiment, whether or not to provide navigation stock, and if so, the number of navigation stocks is determined. In the AT control process, depending on the number of navigation stocks assigned. Control to AT. The main control unit 41 transmits a navigation stock number command indicating the number of navigation stocks (including 0) determined to be given to the sub control unit 91 after the end of the AT lottery process. Can specify the number of navigation stocks determined to be given by receiving and analyzing the navigation stock number command. One Navistock can be controlled by the AT until, for example, 50 games are consumed. In the AT notification process, the navigation stock is notified of the winning of the AT or the navigation stock given by the winning of the AT.

  During AT, the sub-control unit 91 is advantageous for deriving an advantageous symbol combination when receiving a command transmitted when, for example, a predetermined notification target role shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is won by internal lottery processing. Navigation notification for notifying the pressing order is executed. For this reason, a player becomes advantageous by being controlled by AT. The notification target combination includes left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4, ascending lip 1-5, maintenance lip 1-3, chance lip 1-6, and special lip 1-3. Say.

  The advantageous symbol combination means, for example, the bell 2 or the bell 1 when winning the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4. Lip 4 (promotion lip) normal replay when promotion lip 1-5 wins. The maintenance lip 1 to 3 is usually a normal lip. When Chance Lip 1-3 is selected, it means 7 out of the ten pie. Chance Lip 4-6 wins 7 matches when winning. When the special lip 1-3 is selected, it means lip 6.

  By the way, when it is not during AT, it is generally controlled to RT1. As shown in FIG. 9, when Lip 4 (Promotion Lip) wins in the game in which the promotion lips 1 to 5 are won while being controlled by RT 1, it is controlled by RT 2. However, when the navigation lip is not executed when the promotion rips 1 to 5 are won, the promotion lip cannot be won substantially and it is difficult to control the RT2. On the other hand, when AT is in progress, when the promotion lip 1 to 5 is won, navigation notification for winning Lip 4 (promotional lip) is executed. Therefore, the stop operation is performed in the pressing order according to the navigation notification. As a result, the promotion lip can be reliably won, and the RT 2 can be surely controlled.

  In addition, when the lip 6 is won in the game in which the special lips 1 to 3 are won while being controlled to the RT2, the RT3 is controlled. However, if the special lip 1 to 3 is won and navigation notification is not executed, the lip 6 cannot be won substantially and it is difficult to control the RT 3. On the other hand, during AT, when the special lips 1 to 3 are won, navigation notification for winning the lip 6 is executed, so that the lip 6 is stopped by performing the stop operation in the pressing order according to the navigation notification. The winning can be surely performed and the RT3 can be surely controlled.

  Thus, it can be said that the case of being controlled by RT3 is a case of being controlled by AT substantially. As shown in FIG. 11, the winning probabilities of chance replies 1 to 6 are set to increase in the order of RT1, RT2, and RT3. Also, RT1 is generally non-AT, while RT3 is generally AT. Therefore, in the game won by chance lip 1-3, navigation notification is executed because RT3 is generally in AT, and navigation notification is not executed because it is generally non-AT in RT1. RT3 has a higher rate of leading out of the 7 Tempe than RT1. Also, in games won by chance lip 4-6, navigation notification is executed because RT3 is generally in AT, and navigation notification is not executed because it is generally non-AT in RT1, It can be said that RT3 has a higher rate of leading out seven matches than RT1.

[About internal winning command]
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub-control unit 91 a command that can specify the progress of the game and the processing result according to the execution of the processing. The sub control unit 91 performs various processes based on commands from the main control unit 41. The main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command as a command to the sub control unit 91. 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.

  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 ROM 41b, 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 is performed for the non-notifying target combination (a role different from the notification target combination). Stores an internal winning command table in which commands are set. Here, the first internal winning command is a command that can specify both the type of the notified role to be won and the advantageous pressing order. The second internal winning command is a command that can specify the type of the notification target combination that is won, but cannot specify the advantageous pressing order.

  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 corresponding to the push order bell is set, and corresponding to the upturn lips 1 to 5 One second internal winning command that can specify that any one of the rising replies 1 to 5 is elected is set, and any one of the sustaining replies 1 to 3 corresponding to the sustaining replies 1 to 3 is set. One second internal winning command that can specify that the player has won is set, and one of the chance lips 1 to 6 can be specified corresponding to the chance lips 1 to 6 The second internal winning command is set, and one second internal winning command that can specify that any of special lips 1 to 3 is selected corresponding to special lips 1 to 3 is set. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the main control unit 41 first reads the internal winning flag set by the internal lottery in the internal winning command setting process executed after the internal lottery (Sa01), and executes navigation notification or not. If it is determined that the navigation notification is to be executed in step Sa02, the first internal winning command is stored in the internal winning command table corresponding to the winning combination based on the internal winning flag read in Sa01. It is determined whether it is set (Sa03). For example, the navigation notification is executed when a notification target combination is won during AT, and is executed with a predetermined probability when a notification target combination is won even during non-AT.

  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 pushing 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 push 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 pressing order corresponding to the result of the internal lottery from the internal winning command is not specified by the sub-control unit 91. Therefore, even if fraud is made to the sub-control unit 91, it is possible to prevent the advantageous pressing order from being notified in a game in which navigation notification is not executed.

  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. 14, the main control unit 41 first reads the internal winning flag set by the internal lottery in the internal winning command setting process 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 pressing 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 transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. The main control unit can transmit the second internal winning command in which the type of the winning notification target role can be specified but the pressing order advantageous to the player cannot be specified. When the navigation notification is not executed on the 41st side, an advantageous push 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 push 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 pressing order, the winning combination is determined as one type of lottery object (for example, the pressing order bell) in a lump, and when navigation notification is executed, one type is selected. One of a plurality of types of lottery objects (for example, left bell 1 to 4, middle bell 1 to 4, and right bell 1 to 4) having different advantageous pushing orders for the notification target role (for example, pushing order bell) 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 with different advantageous pushing 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. 15, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to perform navigation notification in the internal lottery (Sc01), and when executing navigation notification in the step of Sc01, one type of navigation notification is performed. The individual lottery for individually determining the winning is performed for each lottery target role having a different advantageous push order for the notification target role (Sc02). In the individual lottery, as shown in FIG. 16A, 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 of the type. , 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, one type of lottery object (for example, push order bell) is selected regardless of an advantageous push order for one type of information target part (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. 16B, for one type of notification target combination (for example, push order bell), for 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 the navigation notification is not executed, when the role to be notified is won, after the internal lottery, a push order selection lottery for selecting an advantageous push order from a plurality of types of push orders is performed, The advantageous pushing 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 in the internal winning command table, an advantageous push order for one type of notification target role is stored. 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 pushing 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, a batch lottery is performed to determine a winning as a single type of lottery target regardless of an advantageous pressing order for one type of notification target role, and an 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 combination having a different advantageous pushing order for one type of notification subject combination wins can specify the type of the notified notification subject combination and the pushing 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 role is won can specify the type of the notification target winning combination, but specifies the order of pushing that is advantageous to the player Since it is transmitted as a second internal winning command that cannot be performed, when the navigation notification is not executed on the main control unit 41 side, an advantageous pressing order corresponding to the result of the internal lottery is given 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.

  Further, in the game where the chance lip is won, the navigation notification lottery is executed, and the processes of Sa02 (FIG. 12), Sb03 (FIG. 14), and Sc01 (FIG. 15) are executed based on the result of the navigation notification lottery. The The navigation notification lottery determines whether or not to perform navigation notification, and the mode (type) of navigation notification when it is determined to execute navigation notification. FIG. 13 is a navigation notification lottery table used in the navigation notification lottery at the time of chance lip winning. In the example of FIG. 13, the candidates to be determined include large navigation notification, small navigation notification, and no notification. The large navigation notification and the small navigation notification are the effects of notifying the push order for deriving the 7 tempered outings in the game in which the chance lip 1 to 3 are won, and in the game in which the chance lip 4 to 6 is in the winning 7 This is an effect of notifying the pushing order for deriving the eyes. The large navigation notification is larger in the push order displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 than the small navigation notification. No notification means that navigation notification is not executed.

  In the example of FIG. 13, when any of the chance replies 1 to 3 is won during the AT, large navigation notification, small navigation notification, and no notification are determined at a rate of 5%, 95%, and 0%, respectively. The When any of chance lips 4 to 6 is elected during AT, large navigation notification, small navigation notification, and no notification are determined at a rate of 80%, 20%, and 0%, respectively. When any of chance lips 1 to 3 is won during non-AT, large navigation notification, small navigation notification, and no notification are determined at a rate of 5%, 35%, and 60%, respectively. When any of chance lips 4 to 6 is elected during non-AT, large navigation notification, small navigation notification, and no notification are determined at a rate of 35%, 5%, and 60%, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 13, regardless of whether it is AT or non-AT, in a game in which any one of chance lips 4 to 6 is won, large navigation notification is more easily executed than small navigation notification. Accordingly, when the large navigation notification is executed, if the player is selected that one of the chance lips 4 to 6 has been won and the player is operated in the push order notified by the large navigation notification, the seventh match is derived. The player can have a sense of expectation for this.

  If it is determined that large navigation notification or small navigation notification is to be executed in the game in which the chance lip is won, in Sa02, Sb03, and Sc01, it is determined Yes (navigation notification is executed), and there is no notification. If determined, it is determined No (navigation notification is not executed) in Sa02, Sb03, and Sc01.

[AT lottery table]
Next, the AT lottery table will be described with reference to FIG. The first to fifth conditions indicate conditions that are established when the AT lottery target combination is won. For example, the first condition is a condition that is established when a weak watermelon as an AT lottery target is won, and the number of navigation stocks given is set to “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”. The determined probabilities are 95%, 5%, 0% and 0%, respectively.

  Next, the sixth condition to the ninth condition will be described. The sixth condition is a condition that is established when seven uniform outcomes are derived in the navigation notification game. That is, if the sixth condition is satisfied, chance replies 4 to 6 are won, navigation notification (small navigation notification or large navigation notification shown in FIG. 13) is executed, and seven uniforms are derived. That is.

  The seventh condition refers to a condition that is established when two consecutive games become a navigation notification game and a 7-Tempered Outgoing is derived. The eighth condition refers to a condition that is established when three consecutive games become a navigation notification game and a 7-tempered outing is derived. The ninth condition refers to a condition that is satisfied when four consecutive games become a navigation notification game and a 7-tempered outing is derived. That is, the eighth condition is met when the navigation game is played after the game where the seventh condition is established and the 7th tempered outing is derived. Further, the ninth condition is satisfied when the next game after the game in which the eighth condition is satisfied becomes a navigation notification game, and when the 7th tempered departure is derived.

  Further, the expected value of the navigation stock given when the sixth condition is satisfied is higher than when any of the seventh to ninth conditions is satisfied. According to such a configuration, it is possible to give a sense of premier for seven uniforms. Further, even if the 7 Tempe Outgoing is derived, the 7th condition is derived in the next game, so that the seventh condition is satisfied and the AT lottery is executed. Therefore, even if a 7-tempered outing is derived, the player can be prevented from being discouraged. Note that the expected value of Navistock is a value that indicates the high degree of expectation that a player has regarding the granting of Navistock, and the high probability (ratio or probability) of winning Navistock, and This is a concept that includes both the amount (largeness) of the number of assigned navigation stocks. As a modification, the expected value of navigation stock may be a concept that includes either the winning probability of navigation stock or the number of granted navigation stock.

  Also, as indicated by the asterisk (*) at the bottom of FIG. 17, the AT lottery table of FIG. 17 is applied to all RTs.

  Further, the AT lottery condition is not limited to the first condition to the ninth condition, and may be other conditions. For example, the AT lottery condition may be a condition that is established by winning a combination different from the combination shown in FIG. 17, or may be a condition that is established by winning a combination different from the combination shown in FIG. Alternatively, the condition may be satisfied when the predetermined number of games is digested.

[Display on the auxiliary display]
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification that notifies the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in an identifiable manner according to the lighting state of the game auxiliary indicator 12.

  The game auxiliary indicator 12 is composed of two indicators each capable of turning on / off a plurality of segments, and each segment can be lit in seven colors of white, peach, yellow, orange, red, green and blue. Display.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a notification mode by navigation notification. As shown in FIG. 18, the lighting mode of the game auxiliary indicator 12 in the navigation notification is in the order of notification to be notified (left middle right, left / right middle, middle left / right, middle right left, right left middle, right middle left, left-( The first left stop), -middle- (middle first stop), and --right (first right stop)) are lit in different combinations so that the pressing order can be identified from the combination of segments that are lit. It is like that. For example, if the segment in the position where the character “21” is displayed is turned on and the other segments are turned off, the middle, left and right pressing order can be identified. In this way, the push order is notified in a notification mode that can immediately identify the push order notified in the navigation notification.

  Note that the combination of segments that light up in response to the push order is not something that directly recalls the push order, but it is difficult to immediately identify the push order from the combination of segments that light up. It may be one that cannot be easily identified without a 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 that is determined in accordance with the pressing order such as the pressing order.

  Also, in the navigation notification that is executed when the push order bell is won, the segment that lights in correspondence with the push order lights in yellow, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order, so that the middle bell or the lower right bell Can be identified as winning.

  Also, in the navigation notification that wins Replay 4 (promotion replay) among the navigation notifications executed at the time of winning the promotion replay, the segment that lights up corresponding to the pressing order lights up in blue, and stops according to the notified pressing order. By being operated, it is possible to identify that Replay 4 (Promotion Replay) wins.

  Moreover, in the navigation notification that wins Replay 1 (normal replay) among the navigation notifications that are executed when the maintenance replay is won, the segment that lights up corresponding to the pressing order lights in pink, and stops according to the notified pressing order. By performing the operation, it can be identified that the replay 1 (normal replay) wins.

  Also, in the navigation notification executed at the time of winning the chance replay, the segment that lights up corresponding to the pressing order lights up in orange, so that the stop operation is performed according to the notified pressing order, so that the 7th tempered exit or It is possible to identify that 7-matched outcomes are derived.

  Further, in the navigation notification executed at the time of winning the special replay, the segment to be lit corresponding to the pressing order is lit in green, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified pressing order, so that the replay 6 may win a prize. It can be identified.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, it can identify that it is in ART (AT is included) by lighting the segment displayed with a dot in the game auxiliary indicator 12 in red.

  Further, 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 aligned on the winning line LN according to the winning combination (for example, when a middle bell or the like having the same symbol on the winning line LN wins) or the invalid LED 55 Index symbols aligned on the lines LM1 to LM4 (for example, when the symbol aligned on the winning line LN does not become the same symbol, but the right falling bell or the like 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 the present 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. An effect of notifying that the winning combination has been won by another effect device such as an audio output or effect effect LED 52 may be applied.

  When the winning combination is won, the sub-control unit 91 does not always execute the winning notification effect, but is in a normal state and the navigation operation is not performed, and the stop operation is performed in the recommended pressing order, and any of the winning combinations is performed. When a prize is won, navigation notification is executed, and a stop operation is performed in accordance with the notified pressing order, and when any combination wins, a winning notification effect is executed, while in a normal state and navigation notification Is not executed, the stop operation is performed in a pressing order other than the recommended pressing order, and if any combination wins, the navigation notification is executed, and the stop operation is performed according to the pressing order other than the notified pressing order. When the winning combination is won, the winning notification effect is not executed.

  For example, when the middle bell or normal replay is won, navigation notification is executed, and when the middle bell or normal replay wins when the stop operation is performed in the notified push order, the winning notification effect is executed. Even if the navigation notification is executed when the push order bell is won, if the stop operation is performed in a push order other than the notified push order and the upper bell or the fall replay wins, the prize notification effect is executed. You may make it not be done.

  In the present embodiment, in a configuration including a main control unit 41 that controls a game and a sub-control unit 91 that controls an effect, the main control unit 41 uses a game auxiliary display 12 to provide a reel advantage that is advantageous to the player. Since the control for notifying the pressing order in an identifiable manner, that is, the control for performing the navigation notification, is performed, it is possible to prevent the player's advantage from being affected even if an abnormality occurs on the sub-control unit 91 side.

  Also, in the navigation notification by the game auxiliary display 12, for example, the same pressing order is identifiable in the winning of the push order bell that the middle bell wins and in the maintenance transfer replay that the normal replay wins. Even in this case, since the notification is made in different lighting colors, even if the push order identified by the navigation notification is the same, the winning combination is performed by performing the stop operation according to the push order notified by the lighting color at that time. Can be recognized.

  Further, when the push order is notified in a notification mode in which it is difficult to immediately identify the push order notified in the navigation notification, the navigation notification using the liquid crystal display 51 or the like by the sub-control unit 91 is performed. It is possible to focus attention on the pressing order notified by. Even when the navigation notification does not function, the pressing order can be identified by using a correspondence table or the like.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the sub-control unit 91 performs navigation notification by the main control unit 41, the sub-control unit 91 is notified by navigation notification in a notification mode that stands out from the navigation notification by the liquid crystal display 51. Control is performed to notify the order in an identifiable manner, and by using an effect device such as the liquid crystal display 51, it is possible to notify the reeling order advantageous for the player in a suitable manner. Note that the notice mode that stands out from the navigation notice is a notice mode in which the navigation notice is performed on a larger screen than the game auxiliary display 12 where the navigation notice is performed, a notice mode in which the navigation notice is performed by a plurality of effect devices, What is necessary is just the alerting | reporting aspect etc. which can grasp | ascertain pressing order 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 push order according to the navigation notification. Also good. On the other hand, as long as the stop operation is performed in the push order according to the navigation notification, the sub control unit 91 continues the navigation notification over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels, but matches the push order according to the navigation notification. When the stop operation is performed in the pressing order not to be performed, the navigation notification may be terminated from the time when the stop operation is performed that does not coincide with the notified pressing order. In this way, when the stop operation is performed in a push order different from the notified push order, the notification by the navigation notification is continued, so that the notification contents can be confirmed thereafter, but the aspect that is more conspicuous than the navigation notification Since the notification by the liquid crystal display 51 notified at is ended, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoying when an operation mistake is made.

  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 pushing order according to the navigation notification, and the sub-control is performed. The unit 91 may also be configured to continue 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 pressing order according to the navigation notification. In addition, the main control unit 41 continues the navigation notification 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 pressing order according to the navigation notification. When the stop operation is performed in the pressing order that does not match the navigation order, the navigation notification is terminated from the time when the stop operation that does not match the notified pressing order is performed, and the sub-control unit 91 also performs the pressing order according to the navigation notification. As long as the stop operation is performed, the navigation notification is continued for the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels. However, if the stop operation is performed in a pressing order that does not match the pressing order according to the navigation notification, the notification is given. It is good also as a structure which complete | finishes navigation alerting | reporting from the time of the stop operation which does not correspond with the pushing order. In addition, as long as the stop operation is performed in the push order according to the navigation notification, the main control unit 41 continues the navigation notification over the period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels, but matches the push order according to the navigation notification. When the stop operation is performed in the pressing order not to be performed, the navigation notification is terminated from the time when the stop operation not matching the notified pressing order is performed, while the sub-control unit 91 is stopped in the pressing order according to the navigation notification. Regardless of whether or not it is operated, the navigation notification may be continued over a period from the start of the game to the stop of all reels.

  Further, in this embodiment, if the pressing order of only the first stop reels coincides with the maintenance replay win and the special replay win, the target combination wins regardless of the pressing order after the second stop reel. It will be. That is, after the second stop reel, if the stop operation is performed in an arbitrary pressing order, it becomes possible to win the target role. Therefore, in the navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41, when the maintenance replay is won, When the replay is won, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the pressing order of left middle right and left and right, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the pressing order of middle left and right and middle right and left, the pressing order of right left middle and right middle left A common lighting mode may be applied to each of the identifiable segment lighting modes. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 assigns not only the pushing order of the first stop reel but also the pushing order after the second stop reel by lottery or the like at the time of maintenance replay winning and special replay winning. Based on this, not only the pressing order of the first stop reel but also the pressing order after the second stop reel may be notified by navigation notification. In this way, it is possible to notify the push order in various notification modes by an effect device such as the liquid crystal display 51 without increasing the load on the main control unit 41.

  In the present embodiment, in the navigation notification performed by the main control unit 41, when the maintenance replay is won and when the special replay is won, the lighting mode of the segments that can identify the left middle right and the left and right middle pushing order, middle right and left In addition, a common lighting mode is applied as the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the pressing order of middle right and left, and the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the pressing order of right middle left and right middle left. When the special replay is won, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the left middle right pressing order, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the left and right middle pressing order, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the middle left and right pressing order, The lighting mode of the segment that can identify the middle / left / left pushing order, the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the right / left / middle pushing order, and the lighting mode of the segment that can identify the right / left / left pushing order It may be configured to perform a navigation alarm and distributes Re respectively. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which the sub-control part 91 alert | reports only the pushing order of a 1st stop reel by a navigation alert | report at the time of a maintenance roll replay winning, and a special replay winning.

  Further, in the present 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 pressing order. When the winning combination is performed when the winning combination is performed, the navigation notification is executed and the stop operation is performed according to the pressing order other than the notified pressing order, and when any winning combination is won. The winning notification effect may not be executed. In this way, the push order is notified by the navigation notification, and if any combination wins due to a stop operation other than the notified push order, the winning notification effect is not executed, so that notification is given. Even if the order of pressing is ignored, it is possible to prevent the player from impressing that the winning combination is won.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even though the navigation notification is executed, the winning combination by the stop operation other than the notified pressing order is not the same or similar symbols on a straight line. Although it is a configuration, even though the navigation notification is executed, the combination in which a winning operation is performed in a pressing order other than the notified pressing order has the same or similar symbols on a straight line, that is, at first glance Then, the winning combination may be such that the winning can be grasped. In such a case, by not performing the winning notification effect, it is possible to prevent the player from impressing that the winning combination is won even if the more effectively notified pressing order is ignored.

  In addition, when navigation notification is not executed, if a prize is won, a combination that performs a prize notification effect is stopped in a pressing order other than the notified pressing order even though navigation notification is executed. When winning a prize, the prize notification effect may not be executed. Even in the case of such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from impressing that the winning combination is won even if the pushing order notified more effectively is ignored.

  Further, in the present 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, and the like). It is possible to prevent misrecognition of the notification content displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

  Further, for example, when an error is detected during the progress of the game, 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 for navigation notification, and in this way, it is possible to confirm that an error has been detected while continuing navigation notification. Can be recognized.

  In the present embodiment, the navigation notification is performed using the game auxiliary display 12 in which the number of medals paid out due to the winning and the error code indicating the contents when an error occurs are displayed. It is good also as a structure which performs navigation alerting | reporting with a dedicated display.

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

  In the present embodiment, a specific push order that is randomly determined from a plurality of push orders is notified as the specific push order that is notified by the navigation notification. May be a fixed pressing order.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the winning combination is different and the winning combination is different by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order, but when the pressing order for winning the target winning combination is the same, The combination of segments that are lit so that the pressing order can be identified in the navigation notification of the auxiliary display 12 is the same, but the configuration is such that the winning combination can be identified by different lighting colors, but one is lit and the other is lit. It is good also as a structure which can also identify the winning combination by making it alert | report by blinking and the alerting | reporting from which the switching speed of blinking differs. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can also identify the winning combination by making it the alerting | reporting from which display content differs. 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 pressing order. If the winning combination is different, but the push 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.

  Note that the winning combination may be identified by different combinations of segments that are lit so that the pressing order can be identified in the navigation notification of the game auxiliary display 12.

  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 pressing order, but when the pressing 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 pressing order.

  It should be noted that the combination of segments that light up corresponding to the push order and the target role of navigation notification does not directly recall the push order or the target role of navigation notification. It is difficult to identify the order, and it may not be easy to identify without a correspondence table, etc., and it is possible to immediately identify the push order notified in the navigation notification and the target role of the navigation notification. It is good also as a structure by which the order of pushing and the object role of alerting | reporting are alert | reported by alerting | reporting aspect.

  In addition, the lighting mode of the game auxiliary indicator 12 in the navigation notification includes the first period from the start of reel rotation to the first stop, the second period from the first stop to the second stop, and from the second stop to the third stop. You may make it change for every period of a 3rd period.

[About history display]
As described in the seventh to ninth conditions in FIG. 17, all the predetermined games (2 games to 4 games) become navigation notification games (for example, during AT), and the 7th tempered outing is derived. Then, an AT lottery is executed. Therefore, the number of consecutive derivations for the 7th tempered outing is an important factor for the player. Therefore, the sub-control unit 91 displays the history of the derivation of the 7th uniformed game and the derivation of the 7th tempered game out in 5 consecutive games in a predetermined area of the liquid crystal display 51 (for example, on the right corner). By displaying the history of the derivation of the seventh uniform outcome and the derivation of the seventh temper outcome, the player can grasp the number of consecutive derivations of the seventh temper outcome.

  FIG. 19 is an example of the history 510 of the derivation of the 7th-matched outcome and the derivation of the 7th tempered outcome. In the example of FIG. 19, the derivation results for each of the five consecutive games are displayed in the areas 510A to 510E. In the area 510A, the derivation result in the first game (the oldest game) among the last five consecutive games is displayed, and in the area 510B, the derivation result in the second game among the five consecutive games is displayed. , Area 510C displays the derivation result in the third game among the five consecutive games, area 510D displays the derivation result in the fourth game among the five consecutive games, and area 510E displays the continuous Of the five games to be played, the derivation result in the fifth game (the newest game) is displayed.

  In the game in which the navigation is informed, a symbol of 7 is displayed when the 7th match is derived, and in the game in which the navigation is informed, a symbol of a rectangle is displayed when the 7 out of temper is derived. No symbol is displayed when an outcome that is different from either the uniform outcome or the 7-tempered outcome is derived. In the example of FIG. 19, among the most recent five games in succession, the seventh game is derived in the oldest game (first game), and among the last five consecutive games, the third game, the fourth game, and In the 5th game, a 7-Tenpie losing outcome is derived, and out of the 5 most recent games in succession, a different outcome is derived in the 2nd game from either the 7th uniformed outcome or the 7th Tempered Outgoing . In addition, when the display result of the next game is derived in a state where such a history is displayed, the symbols displayed in the area 510A are deleted, and the displayed symbols are displayed in the left area. In the area 510E, a symbol corresponding to the display result in the next game is displayed. In the case where the history of FIG. 19 is displayed, when the display result in the next game is derived, no symbols are displayed in the area 510A (the display of the area 510B becomes the display of the area 510A), and the area 510B A rectangle of the area 510C is displayed, a rectangle of the area 510D is displayed in the area 510C, a rectangle of the area 510E is displayed in the area 510D, and a display derived in the next game is displayed in the area 510E. A display result corresponding to the result is derived.

[Effect of this embodiment]
Next, main effects obtained by this embodiment will be described.

  (1) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the sixth condition is established by deriving the 7th match in the game in which any of the chance replies 4 to 6 is won and the navigation is notified. The AT lottery is executed. Further, in all the predetermined games (2 to 4 games), any one of chance replies 1 to 3 is won, and the 7th pie losing game is derived in the game in which the navigation is notified, Any of the nine conditions is satisfied, and the AT lottery is executed. Therefore, even if the 7 Tempe Outgoing is derived, the 7th condition is derived in the next game, and the seventh condition is satisfied and the AT lottery is executed. Therefore, in addition to the 7 rounds that can be derived when any of the chance replies 4 to 6 is won, the player can also be out of the 7 balances that can be derived when any of the chance lips 1 to 3 is won. It can attract attention and improve the fun of games.

  In addition, the winning probabilities of chance lips 1 to 3 in which AT lottery can be executed and chance lip 4 to 6 in which AT lottery that is more advantageous to the player than the chance lips 1 to 3 can be executed are RT1 and RT2 in RT3. (See FIG. 11). Furthermore, in RT3, navigation notification is executed because it is generally AT, and in RT1, navigation notification is not executed because it is generally non-AT. RT3 has a higher rate of leading out of the 7 Tempe than RT1. Also, in RT3, navigation notification is executed because it is generally AT, and in RT1, navigation notification is not executed because it is generally non-AT in RT1, so in the game won by chance lip 4-6, RT3 has a higher ratio of leading out 7 rounds than RT1. In this way, since the ratio at which the 7 tempered outings or the 7 outfits are derived can be controlled to be in different states (that is, RT1 and RT3), the interest of the game can be improved.

  (2) As shown in FIG. 11, there are three types of chance lips that can be derived from the 7 TEMPE outbreaks. The order for pushing is different. Specifically, chance lip 1 is in the left and right, chance lip 2 is in the middle and left and right, and chance lip 3 is in the right and left. In addition, there are three types of chance lips that can be used to derive 7-matched outcomes, chance replies 4 to 6, and in each of chance lips 4 to 6, the push order for the first stop for deriving 7-aligned outcomes is Different. Specifically, the chance lip 4 is in the left / right direction, the chance lip 5 is in the middle / left / right direction, and the chance lip 6 is in the right / left direction. As described above, the main control unit 41 also determines the winning combination and the pressing order for deriving the 7 Tempe out-going or 7-out outcome. Therefore, the slot machine designer, the store clerk, and the like adjust the winning probabilities of the chance replies 1 to 6 and the probability of determining the pushing order for deriving the 7 tempered outings or the 7 outfits. This makes it possible to adjust the probability of deriving a 7-tempered out-going or 7-out, and fine adjustment is possible.

  (3) As described with reference to FIG. 13, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to execute navigation notification for deriving the 7 Tempe out-going or 7-out in the game won by the chance replies 1 to 6. A navigation notification lottery to determine whether or not. Therefore, the slot machine designer, the clerk of the game shop, etc., each win probability of chance lip 1-6, and the probability of whether or not to perform navigation notification at the time of chance lip 1-6 winning (shown in FIG. 13) By adjusting (probability), it is possible to adjust the probability of deriving 7 out-of-temper or 7-out, so fine adjustment is possible.

  (4) A game in which any one of the chance lips 1 to 3 is won, and a push order for deriving the 7th tempered outing and a chance lip 4 to 6 corresponding to each of the chance lips 1 to 3 are won. The pushing order for deriving the 7th uniform line is the same. Specifically, the push order for deriving the 7th tempered outcome in the game won by chance lip 1 and the push order for deriving the 7th match in the game won by chance lip 4 corresponding to the chance lip 1; Are both left and right. In addition, both the pushing order for deriving the 7th tempered outcome in the game won by chance lip 2 and the pushing order for deriving the 7th uniform outcome in the game won by chance lip 5 corresponding to the chance lip 2 are both. Middle left and right. Both the push order for deriving the 7 Tempe out game in the game won by chance lip 3 and the push order for deriving the 7th complete game in the game selected by chance lip 6 corresponding to the chance lip 3 are both left and right. It is. As described above, the game where one of the chance lips 1 to 3 is won and the game where one of the chance lips 4 to 6 corresponding to each of the chance lips 1 to 3 is won, and the 7th tempered or 7th Since the pushing order for deriving the uniformed items is common, it is easy for the player to understand. At the same time, until the third stop is made and the display result is derived, it is possible to cause the player to have a sense of tension as to which of the 7th tempered out and the 7th out of which are derived.

  (5) When the navigation notification is given in both the game in which one of the chance lips 1 to 3 is won and the game in which one of the chance lips 4 to 6 corresponding to each of the chance lips 1 to 3 is won, The player can have a tense feeling as to which of the 7 tempered out-going eyes and the 7th aligned out are derived until the third stop, since the 7 tempers are made when the second ending is stopped. Also, for example, in the game where chance lip 2 is won, white 7 is displayed for the right reel 2R when the lip a of area number 13 is stopped at the third right at a predetermined timing when it is stopped on the winning line LN. Not. On the other hand, in the game in which the chance lip 5 corresponding to the chance lip 2 is won, when the right third stop is made at the same timing as the predetermined timing, the white 7 is displayed on the winning line LN for the right reel 2R. . Therefore, it is possible to make the player easily recognize which one of the seven uniformed eyes and the seven tempered eyes is derived.

  (6) As described with reference to FIG. 13, in the game in which the chance lips 4 to 6 are won during AT and non-AT, large navigation notification is more easily executed than small navigation notification. In other words, when the large navigation notification is executed, seven uniforms are derived at a higher rate than when the small navigation notification is executed. Therefore, the player's attention can be gathered not only in the pressing order notified in the navigation notification but also in the navigation notification mode, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  (7) In RT3, the chances of winning replies 1 to 3 that can lead to the departure of the 7 Tempe are higher than those in RT1 and RT2. Further, as indicated by the asterisk (*) at the bottom of FIG. 17, the main control unit 41 has an AT lottery table in which all AT lottery conditions including the seventh condition to the ninth condition are defined regardless of RT1 to RT3. Is used. Therefore, the slot machine of the present embodiment can reduce the capacity of the AT lottery table and the processing capacity of the AT lottery process of the main control unit 41 as compared with the slot machines having different AT lottery tables in RT1 to RT3.

  (8) As shown in FIG. 11, in each of the states RT1 to RT3, the winning probabilities of the chance replies 1 to 3 are set higher than the winning probabilities of the chance replies 4 to 6, respectively. For example, in RT3, the winning probabilities of chance lips 1 to 3 are 1000/65536, and the winning probabilities of chance lips 4 to 6 are 300/65536. If the winning probability of each of the chance replies 1 to 3 is equal to or less than the winning probability of each of the chance lip 4 to 6 in each of the states RT1 to RT3, even if a 7 tempered miss is derived, the game The player is not expected to win the chance lip 1-3 for establishing the seventh condition (see FIG. 17) in the next game. Expecting the 7th match derivation), the significance of the 7th tempered outage will fade.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, the winning probabilities of the chance replies 1 to 3 are set higher than the winning probabilities of the chance replies 4 to 6, and therefore, the 7th tempered outing is derived. Even so, the player can be expected to win chance reps 1-3 for establishing the seventh condition in the next game (the derivation of the 7th tempered outing), and the significance of the 7th tempered outing Can increase the interest of the game.

  (9) The slot machine of the present embodiment includes a main control unit 41 and a sub control unit 91. The sub control unit 91 executes navigation notification, and the main control unit 41 also has game assistance as shown in FIG. Since the display order is used to notify the pressing order, it is possible to prevent the player's advantage from being affected even if an abnormality occurs in the sub-control unit 91.

  (10) As shown in FIG. 18, the game auxiliary display 12 displays not only information such as the number of medals to be paid out and information such as an error code at the time of an error, but also the advantageous pushing order, so the number of parts can be reduced.

  (11) Even if the seventh condition of FIG. 17 is satisfied but the navigation stock is not given, the eighth condition is satisfied when the navigation notification is given in the next game and the 7th tempered departure is derived. AT lottery is executed. Therefore, the AT lottery can be executed in a revival manner. Furthermore, even if the 8th condition is satisfied but the navigation stock is not given, the 9th condition is satisfied and the AT lottery is executed when the navigation notification is given in the next game and the 7th tempered departure is derived. Is done. Therefore, the AT lottery can be executed in a revival manner.

[Modification]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications and the like applicable to the present invention will be described. Further, at least two of the technical items described in the present embodiment described above and the technical items described in the following modifications may be implemented in combination, and the technical items described in the above-described embodiment. May be implemented by replacing the technical matters described in the following modified example, or the technical items described in the following modified examples may be further combined with the replacement. .

[About status]
(1) In the present embodiment, the predetermined state is described as RT1, and the specific state having a higher probability of winning the chance lip 1-6 than the predetermined state is described as RT3. In general, it has been described that RT1 is non-AT and RT3 is AT. In other words, in both the probability of winning the chance lip 1-6 and the probability that the advantageous pushing order at the time of winning the chance lip 1-6 is notified, it is determined that the predetermined state <the specific state, so that the 7th tempered or 7 It has been described that the probability that a uniform appearance is derived is also given state <specific state.

  However, as long as the probability that a 7-tempered outing or a 7-outing outing is derived is in a predetermined state <specific state, the following may be performed. For example, the winning probabilities of chance lips 1 to 6 may be set to a predetermined state <specific state, and the probability that the advantageous pushing order at the time of winning the chance lip 1 to 6 is notified is set to a predetermined state = specific state. . Even with such a configuration, the probability that 7 out-of-temperings or 7-outs are derived can also be in a predetermined state <specific state.

  In addition, the winning probability of the chance rep 1 to 6 may be a predetermined state = specific state, and the probability that the advantageous pushing order at the time of winning the chance lip 1 to 6 is notified may be a predetermined state <specific state. . Even with such a configuration, the probability that 7 out-of-temperings or 7-outs are derived can also be in a predetermined state <specific state.

  (2) As explained with reference to FIG. 13, when the chance replies 1 to 6 are won during AT (that is, generally RT3), the navigation notification is always notified (at 100%), and during non-AT, a predetermined probability ( 40%), the navigation notification is executed. However, the navigation notification may not be executed even during the AT. That is, during the AT, navigation notification may be executed with a predetermined probability.

  (3) If it is determined that the navigation notification is not to be executed based on the table of FIG. 13, the sub control unit 91 is not allowed to execute the navigation notification, but notifies the pressing order different from the advantageous pressing order. You may be made to perform navigation alerting | reporting (namely, navigator alerting of gas). According to such a configuration, for example, the execution rate of navigation notification can be increased while setting the derivation probabilities of the 7 tempered outings and the 7th aligned outsets to be appropriate probabilities, so that the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  (4) In the present embodiment, it has been described that the winning combination from which the 7th match is derived is different from the winning combination from which the 7 Tempe outing is derived. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the winning combination from which the 7th match is derived is the chance lip 4-6, while the winning combination from which the 7 tempering out is derived is the chance lip 1-3. It was explained as being. However, the winning combination from which the 7th match is derived may be the same as the winning combination from which the 7 Tempe outing is derived. For example, when the same winning combination is won, when the first operating procedure is operated, the seventh uniformed lead is derived, and when operated by the second operating procedure, the seven tempered outs are derived. Then, when operated in the third operation procedure, the 7 non-tempered departure may be derived. In such a configuration, the ratio of executing the navigation notification for informing the first operation procedure, the ratio of executing the navigation notification for informing the second operation procedure, and the navigation notification for informing the third operation procedure are executed. By changing the ratio to be performed (or the ratio not to perform the navigation notification), the ratio at which the 7th uniform, 7th tempered out and 7th non-tempered out are derived may be changed.

[About the sixth condition to the ninth condition]
(1) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, when one of chance lips 4 to 6 is won in one game, navigation notification is executed, and the 7th match is derived, It has been described that six conditions are satisfied. Also, in all the predetermined games (2-4 games), when any one of chance replies 1-3 is won, the navigation notification is executed, and the 7th tempering out is derived, according to the predetermined number of games. It has been described that any one of the seventh to ninth conditions is satisfied.

  However, the number of times the second output is derived is the predetermined number of times, together with the tenth condition that is satisfied when the number of times the first result is derived in the AT lottery condition reaches a predetermined number (for example, 3 times). You may make it include the 11th condition established by reaching more specific times (for example, 5 times). Here, the first game is a game in which a premier feeling is lower than white 7 that constitutes a game that establishes the sixth condition, but a pattern with a higher premier feeling than other symbols is aligned with the winning line LN. For example, it is preferable that the first outcome is a cherry-matched outcome in which cherries are aligned on the winning line LN. In addition, for example, the second outcome may be a premiere outcome that is lower than the first outcome, and cherries are arranged until the second stop (although cherry tempers), but in the third stop, the cherry It is good also as a cherry ten pie off-the-spot with different designs. Further, the sixth condition may be replaced with the tenth condition, and the eleventh condition may be replaced with the seventh condition.

  (2) In addition, the sixth condition may be a condition that is satisfied when a specific combination is won, not a condition that is satisfied when a specific outcome is derived. In addition, the seventh to ninth conditions may be conditions that are satisfied when a specific combination is won, not conditions that are satisfied when a specific outcome is derived.

  Further, the sixth condition is that when any one of the chance replies 4 to 6 is won and the navigation notification is executed, regardless of the derived outcome (that is, whether the 7-match outcome is derived, 7 It may be a condition that is satisfied (regardless of whether an outcome different from the uniform outcome is derived). For example, in the sixth condition, chance lip 4 was won and left middle right was notified, but an operation different from left middle right was performed due to an erroneous operation of the player, etc., leading to 7 non-tempered outings It may be a condition that sometimes holds. Similarly, the seventh to ninth conditions are derived when one of chance replies 1 to 3 is won and navigation notification is executed in any one of a predetermined number of consecutive games. The condition may be satisfied regardless of the eyes (that is, regardless of whether the 7th tempered outing is derived or different from the 7th tempered outing). For example, in the seventh condition, chance lip 1 is won in the second game out of two consecutive games and left middle right is notified, but an operation different from left middle right is performed due to an erroneous operation of the player or the like. It may be a condition that is also satisfied when a 7-match outcome is derived.

  (3) In the present embodiment, when any one of chance replies 1 to 3 is won in all the predetermined games (2 to 4 games), navigation notification is executed, and the 7th tempered outing is derived In the above description, any one of the seventh to ninth conditions according to the predetermined number of games is established. However, the predetermined game may not be continued. In other words, the seventh condition is that, in a predetermined period (for example, 5 games), any one of chance replies 1 to 3 is won, navigation notification is executed, and the total number of times that the 7th temper is out is derived. It may be established when it reaches twice. In addition, the eighth condition is established when any one of chance replies 1 to 3 is won, the navigation notification is executed, and the total number of times that the 7th tempering out is derived reaches 3 times. You may make it do. The ninth condition is satisfied when any one of the chance replies 1 to 3 is won, the navigation notification is executed, and the total number of times the 7th tempered out is derived reaches 4 times. You may make it do.

  (4) The AT lottery table in FIG. 17 has been described as being commonly applied to all RTs. However, in all RTs, the AT lottery table for the seventh condition to the ninth condition is commonly applied, and the AT lottery table for the other conditions (first condition to sixth condition) You may make it make it differ in at least 2 RT among RT. According to such a configuration, the processing load of the AT lottery process when the seventh condition to the ninth condition is established can be reduced, while the AT lottery process of other conditions (first condition to sixth condition) is controlled. Since it is possible to execute processing according to the RT that is being played, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (5) In the example of FIG. 17, it has been described that the expected value of the navigation stock that can be given by the AT lottery is larger when the sixth condition is satisfied than when any of the seventh to ninth conditions is satisfied. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the expected value of navigation stock that can be given in the AT lottery may be larger when the ninth condition is satisfied than when the sixth condition is satisfied. Further, the expected value of the navigation stock that can be given by the AT lottery may be equal when the sixth condition is satisfied and when the ninth condition is satisfied.

[About 7 tempering misses]
(1) In this embodiment, some of the 7 tempered outings of all 7 tempered outs (for example, in the game in which the chance lip 2 is won, the lip a with the region number 13 is stopped on the winning line LN. As described above, the white 7 is not displayed in the case of the 7th tempering deviation derived when the right third stop is performed at a predetermined timing. However, a configuration may be adopted in which the white 7 is not displayed on the third stopped reel at all the 7 temperings that have come off. According to such a configuration, it is always possible for the player to easily recognize which one of the seven uniformed items and the seven tempered items is derived.

  (2) In the present embodiment, it has been described that the line where two whites 7 are aligned by the second stop is the same (both winning line LN) for the 7th line and the 7th tempered line. However, the line where two whites 7 are aligned by the second stop may be different between the 7th alignment and the 7th tempered departure. For example, the line in which two whites 7 are aligned due to the second stop may be the winning line LN for the seventh line and the invalid line LM2 or the like for the seventh line.

[About benefits]
(1) In the present embodiment, it has been described that the number of navigation stocks is given as a privilege when 7 outfits or 7 outnumbers are derived consecutively multiple times. However, the privilege is not limited to the number of navigation stocks, but may be other items. For example, the privilege may be a control to the number of AT games, medals, a bonus state, or the like. The bonus state is a state in which a winning probability such as a small role is higher than in other states, and ends when a predetermined number of medals are awarded.

  The privilege is not limited to this, and may be a value that is beneficial to the player in the progress of the game. For example, information that informs whether or not it is in the so-called AT latency that has been acquired non-AT but has already acquired the number of AT games and has been determined to be controlled by AT, or notification When this is done, information that is executed so as to actually become an AT latent state with a predetermined reliability (that is, latent suggestion information that suggests an AT latent state) may be notified. Moreover, you may alert | report a setting value as a privilege.

  In addition, as a privilege, execution of privilege production (special character appearance, etc.), execution of set value suggestion production to suggest a set value that has been set, in a game shop where gaming machines are installed by collecting a certain number Points may be exchanged for a defined service, a two-dimensional code capable of downloading privilege video and privilege information on a predetermined website may be displayed.

  (2) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, regardless of whether it is AT or non-AT, in the game in which one of chance lips 4 to 6 is won, large navigation notification is smaller navigation It has been described as being easier to execute than notification. However, the large navigation notification and the small navigation notification may be any notification as long as the large navigation notification has higher advantage than the small navigation notification. For example, the large navigation notification may be a notification with a higher probability of giving a privilege than the small navigation notification.

[About navigation notification]
(1) In the present embodiment, it has been described that the pressing order to be notified is displayed large in the large navigation notification as the first notification and is displayed small in the small navigation notification as the second notification. However, the first notification and the second notification may be in other modes. For example, the first notification may notify the push order together with the character A, and the second notification may notify the push order together with the character B.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the operation procedure has been described as including the concept of the order (pressing order) of operating the stop switches. However, the operation procedure may include a concept of timing for operating the stop switch. In this case, the navigation notification notifies the timing of operating the stop switch as an operation procedure. Further, the operation procedure may include both the concept of the order of operating the stop switch (pushing order) and the concept of the timing of operating the stop switch. In this case, the navigation notification notifies both the order of operating the stop switches (pushing order) and the timing of operating the stop switches as the operation procedure.

  (3) In the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 13, when the chance lip is won, it is described that the main control unit 41 determines both whether or not to perform navigation notification and the mode of navigation notification. . However, when the chance lip is won, the main control unit 41 may determine whether or not to perform navigation notification, and the sub control unit 91 may determine the mode of navigation notification. Specifically, when the chance lip is won, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to execute navigation notification by random number lottery or the like. When it is determined that the navigation notification is to be executed, the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub-control unit 91 a navigation notification execution command that can specifically indicate that the navigation notification is determined to be executed. When receiving the navigation notification execution command, the sub-control unit 91 determines a navigation notification mode. According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the burden of processing for determining the mode of navigation notification by the main control unit 41.

  (4) In the example of FIG. 18, the example of the navigation notification in the notification mode that allows the player to immediately identify is described. For example, “12” is displayed on the left middle right, and “1-” is displayed on the first left stop. However, the pressing order is letter (L for left, C for middle, R for right, etc.), the number of identification information that is a guideline for the timing of deriving the display result, and deriving the display result It is also possible to notify the identification information that serves as a guideline for the timing, characters indicating the identification information, initials, the color of the identification information, and the like.

  (5) Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 notifies the advantageous pushing order by the game auxiliary display 12, and the sub-control unit 91 notifies the advantageous pushing order by the liquid crystal display 51 or the like. did. The sub-control unit 91 may notify the advantageous pushing order in a more conspicuous manner than the advantageous pushing order informing mode on the game auxiliary display 12. For example, the sub-control unit 91 performs an operation performed on a screen larger than the game auxiliary display 12 on which the navigation notification is performed, an operation performed on a plurality of effect devices (speakers 53, 54, effect effect LED 52, etc.), and an immediate operation. Any mode that can grasp the procedure may be used. According to such a configuration, the operation procedure of the derivation operation means can be notified in a suitable manner by using the liquid crystal display 51.

  (6) Further, the main control unit 41 performs control to continue the navigation notification even when the stop switch is operated in a pressing order different from the pressing order notified by the game auxiliary display 12 for navigation, and the sub control unit 91 The navigation notification may be terminated when the stop switch is operated in a pressing order different from the pressing order notified by the liquid crystal display 51 or the like.

  According to such a configuration, when the stop switch is operated in a pressing order different from the notified pressing order, the notification by the game auxiliary indicator 12 is continued, and thereafter the notification contents can be confirmed. Since the notification by the liquid crystal display 51, which is notified in a more conspicuous manner than the game auxiliary display 12, is terminated, it is possible to prevent the player from being bothered when an operation error is made.

[Reel control]
In the present embodiment, in the game in which the chance replies 1 to 6 are won, when the operation is performed in an advantageous pressing order, it is assumed that the 7 tempered outings or the 7 outfits are derived regardless of the operation timing. However, in the game in which the chance replies 1 to 6 are won, it may be configured such that 7 tempered outings or 7 outfits are derived by operating at a predetermined operation timing and in an advantageous pushing order. In the case of adopting such a configuration, for example, the whites 7 may be spaced apart by 6 frames or more. According to such a configuration, in the game in which the chance replies 1 to 6 are won, when the advantageous pressing order is notified, the player needs to pay attention not only to the pressing order but also to the operation timing, and the player is nervous. It can make you feel.

[About reel]
In the present embodiment, the physical reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are used to allow the player to recognize changes in symbols, winning winning combinations, and the like. However, in addition to the physical reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, an electronic reel is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the player recognizes that the symbols have changed and the winning combination has been won by the electronic reel. You may make it make it. In such an electronic reel, the player may be made aware of changes in symbols, winning a winning combination, and the like. In this case, the electronic reel is preferably displayed at a position that is easier for the player to visually recognize than the physical reel. Further, in the electronic reel and the physical reel, at least one element among the number of reels, the symbol, the number of symbols, and the arrangement of the symbols may be made to correspond. It may not be allowed to. In a slot machine using an electronic reel, for example, the main control unit 41 transmits an internal winning command indicating the result of the internal lottery to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command. Based on the command, control for deriving the display result with an electronic reel may be executed.

[Other variations]
(1) In the present embodiment, the example in which the main control unit executes the determination and control (including control to the normal state or the AT high probability state) regarding the AT as a period advantageous to the player has been described. However, the determination and control regarding AT as an advantageous period may be executed by the sub-control unit. As an example executed by the sub-control unit, for example, the AT control lottery and the advantage lottery are performed by the sub-control unit, and an AT flag for controlling to the AT is set based on the result, and the internal lottery while the AT flag is being set When the navigation notification is executed according to the result, the navigation notification that can specify the operation procedure according to the result of the internal lottery may be executed. In addition, when the sub-control unit executes determination and control related to AT as an advantageous period, notification means (for example, effect effect LED corresponding to each reel, etc.) that can notify that AT is in progress The light emitting means) may be controlled by the sub-control unit itself.

  (2) When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM of the main control unit 41 is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the reset / setting switch 38 is operated. You may make it transfer to the setting change state in which the change operation of a setting value is possible. In addition, regarding the setting change state, transition to the setting change state may be made on condition that “power ON” + “setting key switch ON” + “front door open 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.

  (3) Further, in order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM of the main control unit 41 is displayed on the setting value display 24 so that the setting value can be confirmed. Transition. 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.

  (4) Although the slot machine which pays out game media to the player's hand according to the occurrence of a win has been described as the present embodiment, the game medium is enclosed and the game media is handed to the player's hand according to the occurrence of a win. An enclosing slot machine that adds game points (scores) without paying out 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.

  Further, although a slot machine has been described as an example of a gaming machine, this embodiment can also be applied to a pachinko gaming machine.
