  The memory area used by the main controller 41 includes a memory area (0000h to 7FFFh) allocated to the RAM included in the main controller 41, a memory area (8000h to FFFFh) allocated to the ROM included in the main controller 41, and including.

  The RAM memory area includes a usable area (0000h to 01FFh) that can be used as a work, and an internal function register area (1000h to 01h) in which a register group for controlling each function mounted in the main control unit 41 is stored. 1080h) and unused areas (0200h to 0FFFh, A800h to FFFFh) where access is prohibited.

  The ROM memory area includes a program / data area (8000h to A6FFh) in which programs and fixed data are stored, a ROM comment area (A700h to A7FFh) in which arbitrary data such as a program title and version can be set, and CALLV Vector table area (A780h to A7A7h) in which the start address of the instruction subroutine and the start address of the interrupt process are set, and the HW parameter in which parameters for setting the internal functions of the main control unit 41 are set in hardware It includes an area (addresses A7A8h to A7FFh) and an unused area (A800h to FFFFh) where access is prohibited.

  The parameters set in the HW parameter area include the final address (HPRGEND) of the ROM area used in the program / data area, the start address (HRAMSTAT) and the final address (HRAMEND) of the RAM area for which access is prohibited.

  When the main control unit 41 accesses an area between the address set in HPRGEND and A6FFh, that is, an area where no program or the like is stored in the program / data area, the main control unit 41 sets the address set in HRAMSTAT. To an area between addresses set in HRAMEND, that is, an area where access is prohibited among usable areas, an access to the ROM comment area, an access to the HW parameter area When there is an illegal access, an illegal access is determined and an illegal access reset is generated. When an illegal access reset occurs, the state is controlled to a special error state to be described later, the progress of the game is disabled, the state is changed to a setting change state, and is not canceled until a new set value is set.

  As described above, when the main control unit 41 accesses an area of the program / data area where no program or the like is stored, the main control unit 41 accesses an area of the usable area where access is prohibited. In other words, when an access is made to a memory area that is not accessed in normal operation, an illegal access reset is generated to disable the progress of the game, so it is not related to an unused area or operation of the ROM. Even when an unauthorized program is stored in an area, an unused area of the RAM, etc., it is possible to prevent the unauthorized program from being executed.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 is activated by the occurrence of a system reset by inputting a system reset signal, a WDT reset by a WDT (watchdog timer) included in the main control unit 41, and the aforementioned illegal access reset. At this time, the value set in the vector table area is 0000h (value set in an unused vector table area), or the address area set in 8000h to HPRGEND, that is, a program in the program area, etc. Is a value indicating an actually stored area, and the value set in the vector table area is not 0000h, and is not a value indicating the area of the address set in 8000h to HPRGEND, Does not start.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 is activated when the value set in the vector table area, that is, the start address of the subroutine of the CALLV instruction and the start address of the interrupt process are values indicating the outside of the area where the program is set. By not doing so, it is possible to prevent in advance processing that was not originally intended due to the occurrence of an interrupt or the like.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55, and these effect devices are sub-control units 91 mounted on the effect control board 90. It is driven on the basis of the control by.

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

  Further, when the main control unit 41 is activated due to the occurrence of a reset, the main control unit 41 performs activation setting. In the startup setting, the internal state is set. After setting the internal state, the main control unit starts executing the user program (initial setting process). The main control unit 41 sets interrupt prohibition in setting the internal state. In the user program, interrupt prohibition is set at the start of execution of the user program. Therefore, the main control unit 41 is started in an interrupt disabled state, but interrupts are prohibited again at the start of execution of the user program. Thereby, it is possible to prevent unintended interrupt processing from being executed.

  Next, a timer counter for measuring a time interval used by the main control unit 41 for game progress control and the like will be described. In this embodiment, a plurality of timers having different uses are provided. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 periodically updates the value of the timer counter assigned to the RAM provided in the main control unit 41 so that the time elapses when the value reaches a specific value (0). It has come to identify. Conventionally, when measuring multiple types of time intervals, timer values are set and updated within multiple types of processing that require timekeeping, and each type of program for updating multiple types of timer values is processed. Since it is necessary to provide it inside, it was a factor which increased program capacity. In addition, since multiple types of timer counters are assigned as data groups for each process used, it is necessary to read out the values of unrelated addresses in order to update all of them in one process. there were.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, an area in which a plurality of types of timer counter values are stored is set to an area to which consecutive addresses are assigned according to a predetermined rule in the RAM, and a timer value stored in a specified address is set. Updates multiple types of timer values by repeatedly executing the process of updating the specified address for the area where multiple types of timer counter values are stored by adding a constant to the current specified address As a result, the program capacity can be reduced as compared with the case where each of the processes for designating a plurality of types of addresses and updating the values of the addresses is performed in each process.

[Direction screen at the end of AT]
In the present embodiment, at the end of AT (assist time), any one of a plurality of types of specific effects is executed. Note that the AT executes an effect that specifies an operation procedure (push order) for stopping a symbol combination advantageous to the player on the winning line LN until the number of AT games becomes zero (advantageous to the player). This is a gaming state in which advantageous control is performed, and is a state advantageous for the player (advantageous state). Thereby, in AT, the symbol combination advantageous to the player can be arranged on the winning line, which is advantageous to the player. Further, in the present embodiment, after the AT is finished, there is a high-accuracy state where the AT winning probability is high, a low-accuracy state where the AT winning probability is low, and an AT winning probability between the high-probability state and the low-probability state. The game state is controlled to any one of the normal state which is the probability of.

  5 to 8 are diagrams showing examples of specific effects that may be executed at the end of the AT. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a normal specific effect. In the example shown in the figure, the character CA-1 is displayed in the normal specific effect.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a specific effect that may be executed based on the first information. 6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating examples of specific effects that may be executed when the first information satisfies the first condition. FIG. 6C is a diagram illustrating an example of a specific effect that may be executed in either case when the first information satisfies or does not satisfy the first condition.

  The first information is information that changes according to the state of the game (for example, the game state after the end of the AT, the number of medals acquired during the AT, etc.). In the present embodiment, the gaming state after the end of AT is the first information. In the present embodiment, the first condition is a case where the gaming state is a highly probable state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the first information satisfies the first condition when the gaming state after the end of AT, which is the first information, is a highly probable state, which is the first condition.

  In the present embodiment, a specific effect that may be executed based on the first information is a first effect. In the present embodiment, as the first effect, three types of specific effects shown in FIG. 6A, the specific effect shown in FIG. 6B, and the specific effect shown in FIG. There is a production. The specific effect shown in FIG. Further, the specific effect shown in FIG. Also, the specific effect shown in FIG.

  In the example of the specific effect shown in FIG. 6A, the character CA-2 is displayed. In the example of the specific effect shown in FIG. 6B, the character CB-2 is displayed. In the example of the specific effect shown in FIG. 6C, the character CC-2 is displayed. Thereby, when the specific effect displayed at the end of the AT is the specific effect (first effect A or first effect B) shown in FIG. 6 (A) or FIG. 6 (B), the player It can be grasped that the first information satisfies the first condition (in this embodiment, the gaming state after the end of the AT is a highly probable state).

  Note that the specific effect (first effect C) shown in FIG. 6C may be executed in either case where the first information satisfies or does not satisfy the first condition. is there. Therefore, when the specific effect displayed at the end of AT is the specific effect (first effect C) shown in FIG. 6C, the player determines whether or not the first information satisfies the first condition. I can't figure out.

  In the present embodiment, if the first information satisfies the first condition, the specific effect shown in FIG. 6A, the specific effect shown in FIG. 6B, or FIG. The specific effects (first effect A, first effect B, or first effect C) shown in FIG. That is, even if the first information is the same or substantially the same, there is a possibility that a plurality of types of specific effects may be executed. Therefore, the effects are not mixed, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  For example, the gaming state after the first AT end is a high probability state, the gaming state after the second AT end is a high probability state, and the gaming state after the first and second AT ends is the same. Even so, since there is a possibility that different specific effects are displayed, the effects are not mixed, and the interest of the game can be improved. The specific effects (first effects A to C) that may be selected when the first condition is satisfied are not limited to three types, but may be one type or two or more types. Good.

  In addition, for example, the number of acquired medals (game value) in the AT may be the first information, and the first condition may be a case where the number of acquired medals is 600 or more. Note that the number of acquired sheets satisfying the first condition is not limited to 600 or more, and may be any number. Also in this case, when there are a plurality of types of first effects, there is a possibility that different types of specific effects may be executed even if the first information is the same or substantially the same. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  For example, the number of acquired medals in the first AT is 600, the number of acquired medals in the second AT is 600 or 603, and the number of acquired medals in the first and second AT is the same or Even if they are almost the same, there is a possibility that different specific effects may be displayed, so the effects are not mixed, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a specific effect that may be executed based on the second information. FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams illustrating examples of specific effects that may be executed when the second information satisfies the second condition. FIG. 7C is a diagram showing an example of a specific effect that may be executed in either case when the second information satisfies or does not satisfy the second condition.

  The second information is information that does not change according to the state of the game (for example, time information at the end of AT by an RTC (real-time clock, clock device 97), a set value of a game value payout rate, etc.). In the present embodiment, AT end time information by RTC is the second information. In the present embodiment, the second condition is between 17:00 and 23:00. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the AT end time information by the RTC as the second information is between 17:00 to 23:00 as the second condition, the second information satisfies the second condition. It is determined that

  In the present embodiment, a specific effect that may be executed based on the second information is set as the second effect. In the present embodiment, as the second effect, three types of specification, the specific effect shown in FIG. 7A, the specific effect shown in FIG. 7B, and the specific effect shown in FIG. There is a production. The specific effect shown in FIG. Further, the specific effect shown in FIG. Also, the specific effect shown in FIG.

  In the example of the specific effect shown in FIG. 7A, the character CA-3 is displayed. In the example of the specific effect shown in FIG. 7B, the character CB-3 is displayed. In the example of the specific effect shown in FIG. 7C, the character CC-3 is displayed. Thus, when the end effect screen displayed at the end of ART is the specific effect (second effect A or second effect B) shown in FIG. 7A or FIG. It can be understood that the second information satisfies the second condition (in this embodiment, the AT end time information by RTC is between 17:00 and 23:00).

  Note that the specific effect (second effect C) shown in FIG. 7C may be executed in either case where the second information satisfies or does not satisfy the second condition. is there. Therefore, when the specific effect displayed at the end of the AT is the specific effect (second effect C) shown in FIG. 7C, the player determines whether the second information satisfies the second condition. I can't figure out.

  In the present embodiment, when the second information satisfies the second condition, the specific effect shown in FIG. 7A, the specific effect shown in FIG. 7B, or FIG. 7C. There is a possibility that the specific effect (second effect A, second effect B, or second effect C) shown in FIG. That is, even if the second information is the same or substantially the same, a plurality of types of specific effects may be executed. Therefore, the effects are not mixed, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  For example, the first AT end time (AT end time information by RTC) is 18:00, and the second AT end time (AT end time information by RTC) is 18:00 or 18:02. Even if the end time of the first AT and the end time of the second AT are the same or nearly the same, there is a possibility that different specific effects may be executed. Interest can be improved. Note that the specific effects (second effects A to C) that may be selected when the second condition is satisfied are not limited to three types, and may be one type or two or more types. Good.

  Further, for example, the setting value of the game value payout rate may be the second information, and the case where the setting value is 5 or 6 may be the second condition. In the present embodiment, the set value is composed of 6 stages of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise. Note that the set value that satisfies the second condition is not limited to 5 or 6, but may be any number. Also in this case, when there are a plurality of types of second effects, there is a possibility that different types of specific effects may be executed even if the second information is the same or substantially the same, and therefore the effects are mixed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a specific effect that may be executed when a special condition is satisfied. In this embodiment, when the AT end time information by RTC is between 20: 00 and 23:00, the number of gaming games is 5000 games or more, and the setting value of the gaming value payout rate is 6, It is determined that the special condition is satisfied. The special condition is not limited to this and may be any condition.

  In the present embodiment, a specific effect that may be executed when a special condition is satisfied is set as a special specific effect. In the present embodiment, as the special specific effect, there is the specific effect shown in FIG. In the example of the specific effect shown in FIG. 8, characters CA-4, CB-4, and CC-4 are displayed. Thereby, when the end effect screen displayed at the end of the ART is the specific effect (special specific effect) shown in FIG. 8, the player has confirmed that the special condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, It is possible to grasp that the AT end time information by RTC is between 20:00 and 23:00, the number of gaming games is 5000 games or more, and the setting value of the gaming value payout rate is 6) . In the present embodiment, the special specific effect is that the AT end time information by RTC is between 20: 00 to 23:00, the number of gaming games is 5000 games or more, and the set value of the gaming value payout rate is It is executed only when 6. However, the content grasped by the player may be only that the set value of the game value payout rate is 6 among the special conditions. In the present embodiment, the special specific effect is one type, but is not limited thereto, and may be a plurality of types.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the special condition is satisfied, the selection as to whether or not to execute the special specific effect as the specific effect is executed only once during the day. That is, even if the special condition is satisfied twice or more during the day, the selection of whether or not to execute the special specific effect as the specific effect is not performed when the second or subsequent special condition is satisfied. Therefore, even if the special condition is satisfied, the special specific effect may not be executed as the specific effect. Thereby, the rarity of the special specific effect can be improved and the interest of the game can be improved. Note that the selection of whether or not to execute the special specific effect as the specific effect is not limited to being executed only once during the day, but may be executed an arbitrary number of times of two or more.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the specific effects (first effects A to C) that may be executed when the first information satisfies the first condition, and the second information satisfies the second condition. There are a specific effect (second effects A to C) that may be executed when the camera is in operation and a specific effect (special specific effect) that may be executed when a special condition is satisfied. However, only one type of specific effect can be executed at the end of one AT (specific opportunity). Therefore, for each success / failure combination of each condition (for example, whether the first information satisfies the first condition, whether the second information satisfies the second condition, and whether the special condition is satisfied) When a specific effect that may be displayed is associated with each combination in advance, the number of combinations increases and the data capacity increases as the types of conditions increase.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a condition to be prioritized when a plurality of conditions overlap is determined in advance, and it is determined whether or not to execute a specific effect corresponding to each condition in order of priority. For example, in the present embodiment, whether or not the special condition is satisfied is the highest priority, whether or not the first information satisfies the first condition is the second priority order, and whether the second information satisfies the second condition No is the third priority order. Thereby, even if a plurality of conditions are overlapped, it is preferable to notify the player of game information at the end of AT (specific opportunity) without associating specific effects that may be displayed for each combination of conditions. Can be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first information is information that changes according to the game state, and the second information is information that does not change according to the game state. Therefore, the first information may change as the game progresses. Thus, in the present embodiment, whether or not the first information satisfies the first condition has priority over whether or not the second information satisfies the second condition, and may change depending on the progress of the game. The notification based on the first information can be given preferentially to the player.

[Specific production selection process]
Next, a specific effect selection process for selecting a specific effect will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the specific effect selection process executed by the sub-control unit 91 during the final game of the AT. The sub-control unit 91 executes a specific effect when the third stop button is operated in the final game of AT. Therefore, the sub-control unit 91 only needs to execute the specific effect selection process before the execution of the specific effect. For example, the sub control unit 91 may execute the specific effect selection process at the timing when the final game of the AT is started, or may execute the specific effect selection process immediately before the execution of the specific effect.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a special condition is satisfied (Sa1). When it is determined that the special condition is satisfied (Y in Sa1), the sub-control unit 91 refers to the output of the timepiece device 97 and a flag set in Sa3 described later, and performs a special specific effect as the specific effect. It is determined whether or not the selection process for selecting or not is executed during the day (Sa2).

  When it is determined that the selection process of whether or not to select the special specific effect as the specific effect is not executed during the day (N in Sa2), the sub-control unit 91 is based on the special specific effect selection table stored in the RAM 91c. Then, a selection process for selecting whether or not the special specific effect is selected as the specific effect is executed. In addition, when the sub-control unit 91 executes the selection process for determining whether or not to select the special specific effect as the specific effect in the process of Sa3, the sub-control unit 91 selects the special specific effect as the specific effect for use in the process of Sa2. A flag indicating that the selection process of whether or not is executed is stored in the RAM 91c (Sa3).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a special specific effect selection table in the present embodiment. In the example shown in the figure, the ratio of selecting the special specific effect as the specific effect (execution of the special specific effect at the end of the AT final game) is 70%, and the special specific effect is not selected as the specific effect (the end of the final AT game). The ratio is sometimes 30%. Each ratio is not limited to this, and may be any ratio.

  After executing the selection process whether or not to select the special specific effect as the specific effect in Sa3, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the special specific effect is selected as the specific effect (Sa4). When it is determined that the special specific effect is selected as the specific effect (Y in Sa4), the sub control unit 91 ends the specific effect selection process. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes the special specific effect selected in Sa3 as the specific effect at the end of the AT final game.

  When it is determined in Sa1 that the special condition is not satisfied (N in Sa1), or when it is determined in Sa2 that the selection process for selecting the special specific effect as the specific effect is executed during the day (Sa2) Y), or if it is determined in Sa4 that the special specific effect is not selected as the specific effect (N in Sa4), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the first information satisfies the first condition (first It is determined whether or not a condition is satisfied (Sa5).

  If it is determined that the first information satisfies the first condition (Y in Sa5), the sub-control unit 91 selects the first effect as the specific effect based on the first effect selection table stored in the RAM 91c. The selection process of whether or not is executed (Sa6).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a first effect selection table in the present embodiment. In the example shown in the figure, the ratio of selecting the first effect A as the specific effect (execution of the first effect A at the end of the AT's final game) is 60%, and the first effect B is selected as the specific effect (AT's The ratio of executing the first effect B at the end of the final game is 30%, and the ratio of selecting the first effect C as the specific effect (executing the first effect C at the end of the AT final game) is 6%. In Sa6, the ratio of not selecting the first effect from the first effect (not performing the first effect at the end of the AT final game) is 4%. Each ratio is not limited to this, and may be any ratio.

  After performing the selection process of whether or not to select the first effect as the specific effect in Sa6, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the first effect is selected as the specific effect (Sa7). If it is determined that the first effect is selected as the specific effect (Y in Sa7), the sub control unit 91 ends the specific effect selection process. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes the first effect A, the first effect B, or the first effect C selected in Sa6 as the specific effect at the end of the AT final game.

  When it is determined at Sa5 that the first information does not satisfy the first condition (N at Sa5) or when it is determined at Sa7 that the first effect is not selected (N at Sa7), the sub-control unit 91 Determines whether the second information satisfies the second condition (whether the second condition is satisfied) (Sa8).

  If it is determined that the second information satisfies the second condition (Y in Sa8), the sub-control unit 91 selects the second effect as the specific effect based on the second effect selection table stored in the RAM 91c. The selection process of whether or not is executed (Sa9).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a second effect selection table in the present embodiment. In the example shown in the drawing, the ratio of selecting the second effect A as the specific effect (execution of the second effect A at the end of the AT's final game) is 50%, and selecting the second effect B as the specific effect (at AT The ratio of executing the second effect B at the end of the final game is 20%, and the ratio of selecting the second effect C as the specific effect (executing the second effect C at the end of the AT final game) is 10%. In Sa9, the ratio of not selecting the second effect as the specific effect (not performing the second effect at the end of the AT final game) is 20%. Each ratio is not limited to this, and may be any ratio.

  After performing the selection process of whether or not to select the second effect as the specific effect in Sa9, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the second effect is selected as the specific effect (Sa10). If it is determined that the second effect is selected as the specific effect (Y in Sa10), the sub control unit 91 ends the specific effect selection process. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes the second effect A, the second effect B, or the second effect C selected in Sa9 as the specific effect at the end of the AT final game.

  When it is determined at Sa8 that the second information does not satisfy the second condition (N at Sa8) or when it is determined at Sa10 that the second effect is not selected as the specific effect (N at Sa10), the sub-control unit 91 Selects one of the first effect C, the second effect C, and the normal specific effect as the specific effect based on the specific effect selection table stored in the RAM 91c (Sa11). Exit. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 executes the first effect C, the second effect C, or the normal specific effect selected in Sa11 as the specific effect at the end of the AT final game.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a specific effect selection table in the present embodiment. In the example shown in the figure, the ratio of selecting the first effect C as the specific effect (execution of the first effect C at the end of the AT's final game) is 10%, and the second effect C is selected as the specific effect (at AT The ratio of executing the second effect C at the end of the final game is 10%, and the ratio of selecting the normal specific effect as the specific effect (executing the normal specific effect at the end of the AT final game) is 80%. . Each ratio is not limited to this, and may be any ratio.

  According to the above-described specific effect selection process, in the present embodiment, a condition to be prioritized when a plurality of conditions overlap is determined in advance, and it is determined whether or not to select a specific effect according to each condition in order of priority. To do. Specifically, whether or not the special condition is satisfied is the highest priority, whether or not the first information satisfies the first condition is the second priority order, and whether or not the second information satisfies the second condition Is the third priority order. Thereby, even if a plurality of conditions are overlapped, it is preferable to notify the player of game information at the end of AT (specific opportunity) without associating specific effects that may be displayed for each combination of conditions. Can be executed.

[Modification 1]
In the example described above, each time the AT ends, the specific effect is selected according to the establishment of each condition, but the specific effect is selected independently every time the AT ends. In this case, even if the first information does not change or does not change substantially, if the first information satisfies the first condition, there is a possibility that the same first effect may be selected. There is also the possibility of a sneak peek.

  For example, at the end of the first to fifth ATs, if all the gaming states after the AT end, which is the first information, are highly probable, the first effect A may be selected every time as a specific effect. is there. Therefore, when the first information does not change or substantially does not change, the same specific effect as that at the end of the previous AT may not be selected even if the end of AT comes again.

  For example, at the end of the first AT, when the gaming state after the end of AT, which is the first information, is a highly accurate state and the first effect A is selected as the specific effect, at the end of the second AT, Even if the gaming state after the end of AT, which is the first information, is a highly accurate state, the first effect A is not selected as the specific effect. Thereby, when the first information does not change or almost does not change, the same specific effect is not executed, the effect is not mixed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Similarly, for the second information, if the second information does not change or substantially does not change, the same specific effect as that at the end of the previous AT is not selected even if the end of the AT comes again. May be. Thereby, when the second information does not change or almost does not change, the same specific effect is not executed, the effect is not mixed, and the fun of the game can be improved.

[Modification 2]
In the above-described example, the first information is information that changes according to the game state (for example, the game state after the AT ends, the number of medals earned during the AT, etc.), and the second information is the game state. Information that does not change accordingly (for example, time information at the end of AT by an RTC (real time clock, clock device 97), a set value of a game value payout rate, etc.), but is not limited thereto. For example, even if the first information is information that does not change according to the state of the game (for example, time information at the end of AT by an RTC (real time clock, clock device 97), a setting value of a game value payout rate, etc.). Good. In addition, for example, the second information may be information that changes according to the game state (for example, the game state after the AT ends, the number of acquired medals during the AT, etc.). The first information and the second information are not limited to the above, and may be any information. Further, the first condition may be any condition as long as it is a condition corresponding to the first information. The second condition may be any condition as long as it corresponds to the second information. In addition, the condition for displaying the special specific effect is, for example, setting of the AT end time information by RTC between 20: 00 to 23:00, the number of gaming games of 5000 games or more, and the gaming value payout rate Although the value is 6, it is not limited to this, and any condition may be used.

[Modification 3]
In the above-described example, the end time of the final game of the AT is a specific opportunity. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any opportunity may be used as the specific opportunity. For example, the end of the BIG bonus or REG bonus may be used as a specific opportunity. In addition, for example, when a predetermined number of games are ended from a reference game (for example, a BIG bonus or REG bonus end game) (for example, at the end of an arbitrary number of games such as the end of 256 games or the end of 999 games). It may be a specific opportunity.

[Modification 4]
In the above-described example, the condition for selecting the specific effect has been described using the three conditions including the condition for displaying the special effect, the first condition, and the second condition. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, four or more conditions may be used as conditions for selecting a specific effect. Even in this case, a plurality of conditions can be determined by determining in advance, in order of priority, whether or not to select a specific effect according to each condition when a plurality of conditions are overlapped. Even if they overlap, it is possible to suitably execute notification of game information to the player at a specific opportunity without associating specific effects that may be displayed for each combination of conditions.

[Effects of the present embodiment]
Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
(1) In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect executing means) executes the specific effect at the end of the AT final game. Further, the sub control unit 91 (specific effect selecting means) selects a specific effect. Further, the specific effects that can be selected by the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect selecting means) are the first effects A to C selected based on the gaming state (first information) after the end of AT, and when the AT ends by the RTC. Second effects A to C selected based on the time information (second information). Further, the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect selecting means) is when the gaming state (first information) after the end of AT is in a high probability state (when the first condition is satisfied), and the AT end by RTC When the time information (second information) is between 17:00 and 23:00 (when the second condition is satisfied), the first effect A, the first effect B, or the first effect The first effect C is selected with priority over the second effects A to C. In addition, the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect selecting means) determines that the gaming state (first information) after the end of AT is not a high-probability state (does not satisfy the first condition), and at the time of AT end by RTC. When the time information (second information) is between 17:00 and 23:00 (when the second condition is satisfied), the second effect A, the second effect B, or the second effect is specified as the specific effect. C is selected with priority over the first effects A to C.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to suitably execute notification of game information to the player at the end of the AT final game (specific opportunity). In addition, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which specific effect is executed, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (2) In the present embodiment, when the first information is the same or substantially the same, or when the second information is the same or substantially the same, the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect selecting means) can select the first information. There may be a plurality of types of specific effects.

  According to such a configuration, the production can be prevented from being mixed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (3) In the present embodiment, when the first information does not change or substantially does not change, or when the second information does not change or substantially does not change, the end of the AT final game (specific opportunity) is again performed. Even if it arrives, the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect selecting means) may not select the same specific effect.

  According to such a configuration, the production can be prevented from being mixed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (4) In the present embodiment, the specific effects that can be selected by the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect selection means) include special specific effects, and the sub-control unit 91 (specific effect selection means) The end time information is between 20: 00 and 23:00, the number of gaming games is 5000 games or more, and the setting value of the gaming value payout rate is 6 (conditions for displaying special specific effects) during the day Even if it is established a plurality of times (within a predetermined period), it may be determined only once whether or not the special specific effect is selected.

  According to such a configuration, a rarity is produced in the production, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  (5) In the present embodiment, the information indicated by the first information is information that changes according to the state of the game, and the information indicated by the second information is information that does not change according to the state of the game. You may do it.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to preferentially execute an effect based on the game state at that time.

  (6) Further, in the present embodiment, either the first information or the second information indicates that the gaming state after the end of the AT indicates a highly probable state (a state that is controlled after the specific effect is executed). It may be.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which specific effect is executed, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.
