  A slot machine, which is one of the gaming machines, includes a main control unit that performs control related to a game and a sub control unit that performs control related to an effect, and the sub control unit controls the peripheral device for the effect, so that the main control unit Generally, the processing load is distributed to the sub-control units. In addition, this type of slot machine has an assist time (hereinafter referred to as “AT”) function that does not reduce or increase the number of medals possessed by a player (hereinafter referred to as “AT”). (Referred to as Patent Document 1).

  In this type of AT machine, for example, a simultaneous winning combination that simultaneously wins a plurality of winning combinations having different payouts is set, and which of the winning combinations is given priority, the order of pressing the stop switch, etc. Some of them are defined according to the operating procedure. In this case, during AT, for example, when winning a simultaneous winning combination, a push order for winning a higher payout by using a peripheral device for production such as a liquid crystal display (advantageous push order) Is notified. Specifically, the information on the type of the winning combination by the winning combination lottery and the information on the advantageous pushing order when the winning combination is won internally are transmitted from the main control unit to the sub-control unit. The sub-control unit controls the liquid crystal display, the LED lamp, and the like during the AT, and executes a notification effect for notifying the player of the advantageous push order received (hereinafter referred to as “AT game”). "). Here, when the player operates the stop switch in the notified press order, the winning combination with a high payout is won, so that the number of medals possessed by the player can be increased.

JP 2002-172200 A (paragraphs 0005, 0066, 0104 to 0106, 0134, FIG. 12 and others)

  By the way, in the above-mentioned AT machine, since it is determined by the sub-control unit whether or not to shift to AT, information that can confirm the operation mode of the stop switch such as the above-mentioned push order, etc., other than games during AT, Sent from the main control unit to the sub-control unit. Therefore, for example, there is a possibility that an unauthorized act of forcibly generating an AT by modifying the sub-control unit so as to generate an AT if a specific operation is performed. In addition, when information transmitted from the main control unit to the sub-control unit is illegally extracted due to access to a signal line in the middle, there is a possibility that an advantageous pushing order may be specified even though it is not during AT.

  As a measure for solving these problems, for example, it is conceivable to determine whether or not to shift to AT by the main control unit having higher security than the sub control unit. If the main control unit decides whether or not to shift to the AT, it will not only be difficult to forcibly generate the AT by remodeling the sub control unit, for example, information on the advantageous pushing order of the simultaneous winning combination Is transmitted to the sub-control unit only during the AT, so that the AT game can be executed. Therefore, an advantageous push order is not specified even if the signal line is accessed while not in the AT. . However, on the other hand, there is a demand for a technique that can more fairly determine whether or not a special game advantageous to a player such as an AT game is allowed in the main control unit.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and determines whether or not to enter a special game permissible state that allows a special game advantageous to the player, using a lottery value generated for the role lottery. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can more efficiently take measures against fraud with respect to special games.

  In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a display unit having a plurality of variable display columns for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop operation unit for stopping variable display of each of the variable display columns. A main control means for controlling the progress of the game, and information transmitted from the main control means in a gaming machine that gives a privilege to the player according to the symbol combination when all the variable display rows are stopped Sub-control means for controlling the production according to the progress of the game based on the game, and the main control means includes a plurality of general roles including specific roles having different degrees of advantage given to the player according to the operation procedure of the stop operation means. A role lottery means for performing a role lottery for determining which one of a plurality of roles including a role and a bonus role is won based on a lottery value generated based on the start of the game; As a game advantageous to a player different from a bonus game that is a game in a bonus game state advantageous to a player based on the bonus combination, the specific combination in which the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means is won by the specific combination There is a special game that informs the advantageous operation procedure corresponding to the specific combination when it is won, and the special lottery means allows the special game to be permitted. A right grant determining means for determining whether or not to grant the right to play the special game in accordance with the result of the lottery, and the special game non-permitted that does not allow the special game based on whether the special game is permitted or not The right to perform the special game when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means in the game in the special game allowed state is the specific combination winning result determined by the lottery value in the game in the state There has been and performs the special game if it is granted.

  According to this configuration, whether or not to enter a special game permissible state that allows a special game advantageous to the player is determined when the part lottery means a part lottery in a game in a special game non-permitted state that does not allow a special game. It is determined by a lottery value to be used (hereinafter, “determined to be in a special game permissible state” may be simply referred to as “special game permissible winning”). In other words, the lottery value, which is generally designed to be highly secure and difficult to perform fraud in the main control means, is associated with each game lottery result of the role lottery means in a one-to-one correspondence with whether or not a special game is allowed. . Therefore, since it is uniquely determined whether or not the special game allowance is won based on the lottery value generated based on the start of the game, it is possible to make it difficult for the special game to be fraudulent. By deciding by fair lottery, it is possible to more efficiently take countermeasures against special games.

  Also, by using a lottery value generated based on the start of the game, it is always the same expectation whether or not it is a special game allowable winning or not, as well as a bonus hand that determines whether or not the winning lottery means has won the same expected value. Since it can be determined by value, it can be expected whether it is a special game permissible winning as well as expecting whether or not it is a bonus combination winning for each game, and as a result, the player's interest is improved be able to. In addition, the lottery value used for the role lottery is commonly used to determine whether or not the special game allowance is won, while the right to play the special game according to the result of the role lottery on condition that the special game is allowed. Since the right granting means for granting is provided, the player can enjoy a multi-stage lottery before the special game is played, and the player can be improved in interest. In addition, it is possible to improve security by uniquely determining whether or not the special game allowance is won based on the lottery value used for the role lottery, while the right granting unit grants the right according to the result of the role lottery. Since it can be designed freely, the degree of freedom in designing special games can be increased.

  Further, as a result determined by the lottery value, information capable of specifying whether or not the bonus combination is won by the combination lottery means is stored in the first data area, and the general combination is determined by the combination lottery unit. A determination result storage means for storing in the second data area information capable of specifying whether or not the player has won, and storing in the third data area information capable of specifying whether or not the special game is permitted; It is good to be.

  With this configuration, the bonus winning, the general winning and the special game allowance are stored and managed in parallel, so that when winning these winnings using the same lottery value, Can be managed together. In addition, since the determination can be made with reference to only the data type required in one control, the processing can be performed efficiently.

  In addition, it is preferable that the information processing apparatus further includes notification means that is controlled by the main control means to notify that the special game is permitted.

  If comprised in this way, when a special game is performed when it is not a special game permission state, it can be judged immediately that it is an abnormal state and there is a possibility of failure or fraud.

  The special game permission state may be ended when a predetermined end condition is satisfied, and when the predetermined end condition is continued without being satisfied.

  If comprised in this way, it can prevent that the duration of the special game permission state in which a special game is permitted becomes excessively long, and excessively improves gambling.

  The main control means may further include grant determination means for determining whether or not to grant the right to play the special game in the game that has been determined to be in the special game permission state.

  With this configuration, since the grant determining means determines whether or not to grant the right to perform a special game in parallel with the special game allowable winning, the player's interest in the lottery regarding whether or not to perform the special game is increased. It can be further increased.

  In addition, the game state when not in the bonus game state and in the special game non-permitted state includes a first game state and a second game state, and in the first game state, the role lottery means by the role lottery means With regard to the specific lottery value that is at least a part of the lottery values that are not won for all the winning combinations in the second gaming state, the specific lottery is won by the role lottery by the role lottery means, and the specific lottery The lottery value excluding the value is set so that the winning lottery results by the winning lottery means in the first gaming state and the second gaming state are the same, and the specific lottery value is set to the special game permission state. Then, it is preferable that the determined lottery value is not included.

  With this configuration, since the lottery value for special game allowance is not included in the lottery value that changes whether or not to win the general role depending on the gaming state, the winning of the general role corresponding to the change in the gaming state Regardless of the change in probability, the player can be given a uniform sense of expectation regarding the special game allowance.

The gaming state setting unit 100b is configured to set a plurality of gaming states set in advance based on the result of the combination lottery processing by the combination lottering unit 103, the determination result of the symbol combination on the active line (middle stage line) by the symbol determination unit 110, and the like. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 is set to any one of the above.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, as the gaming state, initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1: first gaming state), advantageous RT (RT2: second gaming state), bonus An internal winning (RT3) and a bonus game state (BB1) are provided. Here, the general game is executed in the general game state constituted by the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the advantageous RT (RT2), and the bonus internal winning (RT3), and the bonus game state (BB1) is the bonus. A game is executed. The initial RT (RT0) is a gaming state that shifts when settings are changed as described later or after the bonus gaming state (BB1) ends.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the initial RT (RT0), push order bells (left middle right correct bells 1-4, left and right middle correct bells 1-4, middle left and right correct bells 1-4, middle right left correct bells 1-4). When the right / left middle correct answer bells 1-4, right / left correct answer bells 1-4: see FIG. 9), the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to normal RT (RT1), and the gaming state is normal. Transition to RT (RT1). Also, in normal RT (RT1), when a player wins one of the promoted replays 1 to 6 (see FIG. 9) with a U-lip, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to advantageous RT (RT2), and the gaming state is Transition to advantageous RT (RT2).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, about some specific lottery values among lottery values that are not won (lost) in all the roles in the role lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1) Is set to win a replay (specific general combination) that is a re-playing combination in the combination lottery means 103 in the advantageous RT (RT2), and the advantageous RT (RT2) is normally RT (RT1). ) Is a gaming state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer (replay) is set higher. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, when the push-down bell is lost at an advantageous RT or when any of the fall replays 1 to 3 (see FIG. 9) is won with a D-lip, the game state setting means 100b plays a game. The state is set to normal RT (RT1), and the gaming state shifts to normal RT (RT1).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a bonus combination (red 7 big, BAR big: see FIG. 9) is won in any of the gaming states of initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and advantageous RT (RT2). Then, the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to the bonus internal winning (RT3), and the gaming state shifts to the bonus internal winning (RT3). In addition, when a bonus combination is won during bonus internal winning (RT3), the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to the bonus gaming state (BB1), and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (BB1). When a predetermined bonus game end condition is satisfied in the bonus game state (BB1), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0), and the game state shifts to the initial RT (RT0). In this embodiment, as a bonus game ending condition, the number of payouts is set to a prescribed value (for example, 300 is set for a red 7 big win, and 100 is set for a BAR big win). .

  Thus, each gaming state is configured to shift to another gaming state when a transition condition set for each gaming state is satisfied. It should be noted that the above-described “pushing order bell missing”, “promotion replay prize”, “falling replay prize”, and the like regarding the transition condition will be described later.

(1-3) AT permissible state setting means 100c
As shown in FIG. 5, the AT permissible state setting means 100c is either an AT non-permitted state that does not allow AT games (special game non-permitted state) or an AT permissible state that allows AT games (special game permitted state). The state of the slot machine 1 is set to one of them.

a) Transition from AT non-permitted state to AT-permitted state by AT permissible selection As shown in FIGS. 10 and 16, AT non-permitted state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2)) The AT allowable combination is associated with a part of the lottery value in the game at. Here, if it is determined that the lottery value determination unit 103b is in the AT-permitted state based on the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a of the role lottery unit 103 based on the start of the game by the operation of the start switch 19 (AT allowable winning). As shown in FIG. 5, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state.

  At this time, the AT permissible state setting unit 100c notifies that it is in the AT permissible state by turning on the notification lamp 60c (see FIG. 27) of the notification display 60. By notifying the outside that the AT is allowed, the slot machine 1 is in an abnormal state and may be faulty or illegal when an AT game is executed when the slot machine 1 is not in the AT allowed state. It can be judged immediately.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to shift from the normal RT (RT1) to the advantageous RT (RT2), it is necessary to win the U Lip in one of the promoted replays 1 to 6 in the normal RT (RT1). However, as shown to Fig.20 (a), the pushing order of the advantageous stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R for winning a prize with U lip is set to each of the promotion replays 1-6. For this reason, it is difficult to win an advantageous U lip in the promotion replays 1 to 6 unless this advantageous pushing order is normally notified in AT games.

  In addition, when the D lip is won in any of the fall replays 1 to 3 in the advantageous RT (RT2), the game moves to the normal RT (RT1). However, as shown in FIG. An advantageous pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R for winning the N lip without winning the D lip is set. Therefore, it is difficult to win an advantageous N lip with the fall replays 1 to 3 unless this advantageous pushing order is normally notified in AT games.

  Accordingly, since it is difficult to stay at the advantageous RT (RT2) unless an AT game for notifying the advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is performed, the gaming state is usually the initial RT (RT0) or normal When it is RT (RT1), AT allowable winning is selected, and the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state. Then, the grant determination means 100d, special right grant determination means 100e, or right grant determination means 100f, which will be described later, assigns a predetermined number of AT period games (number of games) as a right (AT execution right) to play AT games in an AT-allowed state. By setting in the period game number counter 654 (FIG. 4), an AT game that notifies an advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R when the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is a specific combination winning result. It becomes an AT game ready state that can be performed. When the number of games of the AT period number of games counted by the AT period game number counter 654 remains, the state of the flag during the AT period stored in the flag storage means (FIG. 4) is the AT game available state. It is set to ON by the determining means 100g (AT game possible state).

  Also, when AT gaming is enabled in the initial RT (RT0) or normal RT (RT1), the AT is being prepared from non-AT, and one of the promoted replays 1 to 6 is selected in the normal RT (RT1) during AT preparation. Then, an AT game for notifying an advantageous pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R for winning a U-lip that shifts to an advantageous RT (RT2) is executed (see FIGS. 12 and 20 (a)). Then, if a U-lip is won in any of the promoted replays 1 to 6, it shifts to an advantageous RT (RT 2) in an AT game-enabled state to which an AT execution right is granted, so-called ART.

  Further, after the AT game for shifting to ART (RT2 + AT) is executed, the AT permissible state setting means 100c performs an AT period game number counter 654 every time a game is executed regardless of whether it is a general game or an AT game. By subtracting 1 from the count value, the remaining number of games in the AT period game number (AT execution right) is counted. In addition, the AT allowable setting means 100c allows an allowable period game number counter 653 every time a game is executed regardless of the type of game in the game after the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state (the notification lamp 60c is turned on). By adding 1 to the count value, the duration of the AT allowable state is counted. The AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the number of games (for example, 1500 games) preset as a limiter condition in the allowable period game number counter 653 when setting the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state. Each time a game is executed in the allowable state, the duration of the AT allowable state may be counted by subtracting 1 from the count value of the allowable period game number counter 653.

b) Transition from AT permissible state to AT non-permitted state due to establishment of termination condition In case of “AT permissible + cherry” “AT permissible + watermelon A” winning As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. When the number of remaining games of the AT period game number (AT execution right) set in the AT period game number counter 654 by the grant determination means 100d is 0, the end condition is satisfied, and the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permitted state. At this time, in the game before the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0, the winning determination means 100f (to be described later) wins the winning lottery (right granting lottery) and becomes the count value of the AT period game number counter 654. When the number of AT period games is added, the end condition is satisfied when the number of remaining games of the AT period games including the added number of games becomes zero.

  In addition, when the AT period game number of 3 games is given by the grant determining means 100d, the AT allowable state setting means 100c executes the game before the AT game for shifting to ART is executed. It is configured to subtract 1 from the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 every time (see FIG. 31A).

In the case of winning “AT tolerance + cherry + red 7 big”, “AT tolerance + cherry + BAR big”, “AT tolerance + red 7 big”, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. When the number of games during the AT period (AT execution right) is not granted, the bonus granting state (BB1) ends when the bonus granting means 100f, which will be described later, is not selected in the bonus lottery unless the lottery is won. The termination condition is satisfied, and the AT allowable state setting unit 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permitted state. On the other hand, when the bonus granting means 100f is won during the bonus game and the AT period game number counter 654 is added to the count value of the AT period game number, the bonus game state (BB1) is ended. After that, the end condition is satisfied when the number of remaining games of the added AT period games becomes zero.

  As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 17, when the grant determination means 100d, which will be described later, grants the AT period game number (AT execution right) for 50 games at the time of AT allowable winning, the bonus game state (BB1) ends. After that, when the remaining number of games in the AT period game number set in the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0, the end condition is satisfied, and the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 in the AT non-permitted state. Set to.

  In the game before the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0, the winning grant determination means 100f described later is elected to the winning lottery (right grant lottery), and the AT value of the AT period game number counter 654 is set to the AT value. When the number of games in the period is added, the end condition is satisfied when the remaining number of games in the T period games including the added number of games becomes zero.

In the case of “AT tolerance + watermelon B” “AT tolerance + watermelon B + red 7 big” winning As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 17, the grant determining means 100d described later at the time of AT tolerance winning determines the number of AT period games (AT execution right) ), Or when the number of games in the AT period of 50 games is granted, the special right granting determination means 100e described later is in the CZ high probability state when the rare small role is won (cherry, watermelon A, In each game except for watermelon B) and bonus combination winning, a lottery lottery 1 is performed with a winning probability of 1/10, and if it is won, an end condition 1 is established, and the AT permission state setting means 100c does not allow the slot machine 1 to be AT Set to state. On the other hand, when the grant determining means 100d grants the AT game number of 100 games, the special right grant determining means 100e described later is in the rare role combination (cherry, watermelon A, watermelon B) while in the CZ high probability state. In each game except when winning the bonus combination, a falling lottery 2 is performed with a winning probability of 1/20, and if the winning is achieved, the end condition 2 is satisfied, and the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state. To do.

c) Transition from AT Permitted State to AT Non Permitted State due to Satisfaction of Limiter Condition As shown in FIG. 5, in the AT permissible state counted by the permissible period game number counter 653 without satisfying the predetermined end condition described above. When the number of games reaches 1500 games, the limiter condition is satisfied. When the limiter condition is satisfied, even if the AT period game number counted by the AT period game number counter 654 remains, the AT permissible state setting means 100c clears the remaining game number and does not allow the slot machine 1 to AT. Set to state. By providing such a limiter condition, it is possible to prevent the AT permissible state in which the AT game is permitted from being excessively long and the gambling performance from being excessively improved.

  If the limiter condition is satisfied and the remaining number of games in the AT period game number counted by the AT period game number counter 654 is cleared, a predetermined privilege may be given to the player. For example, the initial number of AT period games set at the next AT allowable winning may be added. In addition, a specific effect such as a continuous effect that is executed only when the limiter condition is satisfied may be provided. Further, a two-dimensional code or the like may be output using the liquid crystal display 27, and the player may acquire specific image data or audio data by reading it with a smartphone or a mobile phone camera. Further, the content of the above-described privilege may be changed according to the number of remaining games in the AT period when the limiter condition is satisfied.

  In addition, as the AT permissible state end condition, a specific game number end condition (for example, 500 games) shorter than the limiter condition is provided, and if the AT permissible state duration satisfies the specific game number end condition, the AT permissible state setting means 100c may set the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permitted state. At this time, when the specific game number end condition is satisfied, but the AT period game number counter 654 still has an AT period game number, the AT allowable state may be continued.

  The AT allowable state setting means 100c turns off the notification lamp 60c when setting the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state.

(1-4) Grant determining means 100d
The grant determining means 100d is the number of AT period games for AT allowable winning in the game in which the lottery value determination determining means 103b of the role lottering means 103 described later determines that the slot machine 1 is in an AT allowable state (AT allowable winning). Based on the table 673 (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 17), it is determined whether or not to grant the right to play AT games (the number of AT period games).

  As shown in FIG. 17, in the case of “AT tolerance + cherry” “AT tolerance + watermelon A” winning, the grant determining means 100d assigns the right to execute 3 games (the number of games in the AT period) at a distribution ratio of 50%. ), And an AT execution right for 50 games is granted at a distribution ratio of 50%, and the number of granted games is set in the AT period game number counter 654. In addition, in the case of winning “AT allowance + watermelon B”, the grant determination unit 100d does not grant the AT execution right at a distribution ratio of 100%.

  Further, in the case of winning “AT tolerance + cherry + red 7 big”, the grant determining means 100d grants the right to execute 50 games at a distribution ratio of 100%, and the number of games granted is the number of games in the AT period. Set to the counter 654. In addition, in the case of “AT tolerance + cherry + BAR big” winning, the grant determining means 100d does not grant the AT execution right at a distribution ratio of 100%.

  In addition, in the case of winning “AT tolerance + watermelon B + red 7 big”, the grant determining means 100d grants the right to execute 50 games at a 50% allocation rate and 100 games at the 50% allocation rate. The AT execution right is granted, and the number of games given is set in the AT period game number counter 654. In addition, in the case of “AT tolerance + red 7 big” winning, the grant determining means 100d does not grant the AT execution right at the 50% allocation ratio, but the AT execution right for 50 games at the 50% allocation ratio. Is set, and the number of games given is set in the AT period game number counter 654.

  In this way, since the assignment determining means 100d determines whether or not to grant the right to play AT games in parallel with the AT allowable winning determined by the lottery value determination determining means 103b (the role lottery means 103), the AT game It is possible to further enhance the player's interest in the lottery regarding whether or not to perform.

  The grant determining means 100d may determine whether or not to grant the AT execution right by performing the above-mentioned distribution using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 103. Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not to grant the AT execution right by newly generating a random number value (lottery value) for distribution and performing the above-described distribution using this.

(1-5) Special rights grant determining means 100e
As shown in the “Remarks” column of FIG. 17, the special right granting determination means 100e determines the AT execution right special lottery table 674 when “AT permission + watermelon B” and “AT permission + watermelon B + red 7 big” are won. The AT execution right special lottery is executed based on (see FIGS. 4 and 18). In the case of “AT permission + watermelon B” winning, the special right grant determining means 100e executes the AT execution right special lottery simultaneously with the AT permission winning, and in the case of “AT permission + watermelon B + red 7 big” winning. The AT execution right when the number of games remaining in the AT period granted by the grant determining means 100d (including the surplus if the number of games added by the right grant determining means 100f) becomes 0 and the AT execute right ends. Run a special lottery.

a) Immediate CZ Invocation As shown in FIG. 18, the special right grant determination means 100e determines that the AT game right special lottery result is immediate CZ invocation at a rate of 40%, and the next game (game) starts CZ ( A game mode is set in the (chance zone) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “rushing into CZ”).

  The CZ will be described with reference to FIG.

  In CZ, the special right grant determining means 100e determines that the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is correct in the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R at the time of winning the pressing order bell (winning a winning with a lot of payout medals). If an AT lottery is performed with a winning probability of / 8 and the AT is won, for example, the AT execution right is granted by setting the AT period game number of 50 games in the AT period game number counter 654. Further, the special right grant determining means 100e, when the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is a bonus winning combination, wins an AT at a rate of 100%, for example, the AT period game number counter 654 of 50 games. The AT execution right is granted by setting to. In this case, after the bonus game state (BB1) based on the bonus combination is completed, an AT game based on the assigned AT execution right is executed. In addition, after the number of AT period games granted in CZ (including the added amount when the number of games is added by the right grant determining means 100f) is finished, the special right grant determining means 100e remains in the AT allowable state. The game mode is set from the next game to the CZ high probability state.

  Further, when entering the CZ, until the push order bell is won twice by the combination lottery means 103, that is, until the second push order bell win, the push order stop switches 21L, 21M at the time of the push order bell win. , 21R is pushed (navigated). In this way, if you enter the CZ, even if you do not win AT, you will not be in the AT game ready state, but there is an opportunity to win in an advantageous state in at least two push order bells (specific role) Is granted. Therefore, if AT allowance and watermelon B are won at the same time, at least two AT games (games in which the correct push order is navigated) even if the AT triggering right special lottery is not won for the triggering of the pre-predictor AT which will be described later ) Is guaranteed.

  In addition, until the winning of the AT lottery at the time of correct push order bell (AT win), or after entering the CZ, 10 games or more have passed and navigation of the correct push order of the push order bell has already been performed twice Then, after winning the push order bell and continuing the CZ until the correct answer in the push order of the push order bell (when navigation is not performed), the special right grant determining means 100e The game mode is set from the next game to the CZ high probability state.

  The CZ high-accuracy state will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the CZ highly probable state, the special right grant determining means 100e performs a CZ lottery with a winning probability of 1/10 for each game, and if the CZ is won, a precursor period is set in which continuous production of about 3 to 5 games is performed, In the next game in which the predecessor period ends with “winning” at the end of the continuous performance, the special right grant determining means 100e sets the game mode in the CZ. In addition, also in CZ in this case, the same game as CZ mentioned above is performed.

  Also, an AT execution right for 50 games is granted in the CZ high-accuracy state set based on the AT allowable winning by “AT allowable + watermelon B” or AT allowable winning by “AT allowable + watermelon B + red 7 big” In the CZ high-probability state set based on the fact that the special right grant determining means 100e is 1/10 in each game except for the rare small role winning (cherry, watermelon A, watermelon B) and bonus bonus winning. If the winning lottery 1 is performed with the winning probability and the winning condition is satisfied, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state. On the other hand, in the CZ high-accuracy state set based on the fact that the AT execution right for 100 games was granted when the AT allowance was won by “AT allowance + watermelon B + red 7 big”, the special right grant determining means 100e is rare. When winning a role (Cherry, Watermelon A, Watermelon B) and every bonus game except when winning a bonus role, a falling lottery 2 is performed with a winning probability of 1/20. The means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permitted state.

  By the way, in the CZ in the case where the AT execution right special lottery based on the AT execution right special lottery table 674 of FIG. In some cases, the CZ high probability state is entered without winning the AT, but in this CZ high probability state, the falling lottery may be won without winning the CZ. In this case, since the AT execution right is set and the AT allowed state is terminated without entering the AT gaming enabled state, the AT non-permitted state is entered, so that the player's willingness to play is significantly reduced. Therefore, if the CZ high-accuracy state is entered without winning AT at the time of AT permissible winning with “AT tolerance + watermelon B”, the player falls for 10-20 games after entering the CZ high-accuracy state. The lottery may not be performed.

  In addition, when the game mode is set to the CZ high probability state after the number of games remaining in the AT period game number becomes 0 and the AT game ready state (AT period) based on the AT execution right ends, the special right grant decision The means 100e is configured not to perform the CZ lottery until ART (RT2 + AT) ends.

b) Post-predictor CZ activation As shown in FIG. 18, the special right grant determining means 100e determines that the AT execution right special lottery result is the pre-precursor CZ activation at a rate of 40%, and the pre-period of 3-5 games During the precursor period (continuous production) starting from the next game, CZ lottery is performed with a winning probability of 1/100 for each game, and after the precursor period, the winning probability is 3/4 for each game. CZ lottery is performed (see FIG. 33). If the CZ is won, the special right grant determining means 100e sets the game mode from the next game (game) to the CZ (chance zone). In addition, also in CZ in this case, the same game as CZ mentioned above is performed.

c) Post-predictor AT activation As shown in FIG. 18, the special right grant determining means 100e, for example, if the AT execution right special lottery result is a pre-predictor AT activation at a rate of 20%, for example, an AT period game of 50 games The AT execution right is granted by setting the number in the AT period game number counter 654, and the precursor period of 3-5 games is set. Then, after the precursor period starting from the next game is over, the AT gaming possible state determining means 100g described later sets the flag during the AT period in the flag storage area 651 to the AT gaming possible state, and is given An AT game based on the AT execution right is executed. In addition, after the number of AT period games granted in the AT execution right special lottery (including the added amount when the number of games is added by the right grant determining means 100f) is finished, the special right grant determining means 100e The game mode is set from the next game to the CZ high-accuracy state in the allowed state.

  As described above, after the AT execution right (the number of AT period games) granted by the special right grant determining unit 100e is completed, the CZ high-accuracy state remains in the AT-permitted state, so the grant determination unit 100d and the right grant determination Compared with the case where the means 100f grants the AT execution right alone, the AT permissible state is easily continued by re-assigning the AT execution right. However, when the above limiter condition is satisfied, the AT permissible state setting means 100c. Ends the AT tolerance state.

(1-6) Rights grant determining means 100f
The right grant determining means 100f has the right to execute an AT game in accordance with the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103 to be described later on condition that the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state. It is determined whether or not (AT period number of games) is granted.

a) Right grant lottery at the time of winning a rare small role (cherry, watermelon A, watermelon B) When the right grant determining means 100f wins a rare small role in the AT allowable state shown in FIG. 5, the AT period for the AT allowable period The right grant lottery is performed with the winning probability set in the game number table 675 (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 19), and if the player wins, the added game number set in the table 675 is counted by the AT period game number counter 654. Add to. Note that the winning probabilities in the AT period game number table 675 may be made different based on whether or not the CZ high probability state is set.

b) Right grant lottery during normal replay win in ART (RT2 + AT) When the right grant determining means 100f wins the normal replay during ART (RT2 + AT) in the AT allowed state shown in FIG. The right-giving lottery is performed with the winning probability set in the lottery table shown in FIG. 1. When winning, the order of pressing the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is determined. When the right grant determining means 100f correctly answers the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the pressing order determined in the lottery, the preset number of added games (for example, 10 games) is set as the count value of the AT period game number counter 654. Add it.

c) Granting AT execution right at the time of winning BAR matching replay at BB1 The right granting determination means 100f is set in advance when winning BAR matching replay in the bonus gaming state (BB1) in the AT allowed state shown in FIG. The added game number (for example, 10 games) is added to the count value of the AT period game number counter 654.

d) Other When the right grant determining means 100f determines that the number of games for the AT period is to be added by the above-mentioned right grant lottery, the number of games to be added may be determined by lottery. Also, a plurality of tables for determining the number of additional games may be prepared, and the table used for determining the number of additional games may be changed according to the number of games until the limiter condition is satisfied. In this case, when the remaining period until the limiter condition is satisfied (the number of games) is small, it is preferable to use a table in which it is difficult to select a larger number of additional games than when the remaining period is large. In this way, even if a large additional number of games is selected, if the limiter condition is satisfied, the remaining number of games in the AT period game number counted by the AT period game number counter 654 is cleared, so the remaining number of games is cleared. The dissatisfaction of the player by being done can be suppressed. Note that it is preferable that the number of added games satisfying the limiter condition is not selected when added.

  In addition, when the right granting determination unit 100f selects an additional number of games that satisfies the limiter condition when added, the player is not notified of the additional number of AT period games exceeding the limiter condition (1500 games). It is good to. In this way, it is possible to reduce the player's dissatisfaction due to clearing of the remaining number of games during the AT period due to the establishment of the limiter condition.

  In addition, in order to make it difficult to add the limiter condition, when the remaining period (the number of games) until the limiter condition is satisfied is small, the right granting determination unit 100f selects a small additional game number. If a simple table is used, the performance of adding when the remaining period until the limiter condition is satisfied decreases, but in this case, the winning probability of the right granting lottery by the right grant determining means 100f may be improved. In this way, it is possible to improve the frequency of adding up the number of games during the AT period, so even if the number of added games is reduced, the overall expected value of the added value is prevented from being lowered and the added performance is not significantly reduced. can do.

  Further, even if a specific effect is executed on the condition that the AT execution right (the number of games during the AT period) until the limiter condition is satisfied, and the fact that the AT game possible state continues until the limiter condition is satisfied is notified. Good. In this way, giving the player a sense of superiority by performing an effect that informs that the AT gaming possible state continues until the limiter condition is satisfied, and not adding the number of AT period games exceeding the limiter condition Can reduce the dissatisfaction of players.

(1-7) AT game possible state determining means 100g
If there is a remaining game number in the AT period game number counted by the AT period game number counter 654 in the AT permissible state shown in FIG. Is determined to be in an AT game-enabled state in which an AT game can be performed in the case of a specific combination, and the AT period flag set in the flag storage area 651 is set to ON.

(1-8) Outline of Game Next, an outline of the game executed in the slot machine 1 will be described.

  The slot machine 1 is configured such that one game (game) is performed by inserting three medals, and three medals are inserted into the slot machine 1 by the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15 or the maximum bet switch 17. When the insertion is detected, a horizontal winning line (center line) at the center (middle stage) of the display window 11 becomes effective. Here, when the start switch 19 is operated, one of the preset winning lottery results is selected by the lottery processing by the winning lottery means 103 by the lottery processing using random numbers. When all the rotations of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are started, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M and 13R displayed on the display window 11 are discriminated by the rotation angles of the reels 13L, 13M and 13R. Start based on.

  After that, the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are accelerated, the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are enabled, and the operations of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are enabled. When the operation of the left stop switch 21L is detected, the left reel 13L is stopped, when the operation of the middle stop switch 21M is detected, the middle reel 13M is stopped, and when the operation of the right stop switch 21R is detected, the right reel 13R is stopped. In this manner, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is stopped by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  When all of the three left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped. At this time, when it stops at a predetermined position on the winning line in the middle stage of the display window 11 in which the predetermined symbol is valid, that is, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are displayed in the symbol combination related to the winning combination. When displayed on the window 11, a prize is awarded, and the number of medals corresponding to the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payout opening 39. A predetermined profit (privilege) may be given to the player instead of paying out medals or together with paying out medals. The predetermined profit includes, for example, the same number of bets as the winning game without shifting to a bonus gaming state (BB1) by winning a bonus combination described later or inserting a new medal by winning a replaying player described later. For example, the number of bets automatically set for performing the next game, the transition of the game state, and the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a bonus combination and a general combination (replay combination, small combination) are set in advance as types of combinations. The bonus combination is a transition combination to the bonus game state. The re-game combination (hereinafter also referred to as “replay”) is a combination that allows the next game to be played with the same number of bets as the winning game without inserting a new medal when winning. A small combination is a combination in which a predetermined dividend (number of payouts) is obtained when winning.

Bonus combination There are two types of bonus combinations “RBB1” and “RBB2” as types of symbol combinations for winning. Here, when each of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stops in the symbol combination (red 7-red 7-red 7) relating to the combination “RBB1”, a winning is made and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (BB1). When the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped in the symbol combination (BAR-BAR-BAR) relating to the combination “RBB2”, a winning is made and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (BB1). At this time, the symbol combination group “Big 1” is formed by the combination “RBB1”, and the symbol combination group “Big 2” is formed by the combination “RBB2”. In this embodiment, a payout of a predetermined number may be given although there is no payout even if the combination of symbols “RBB1” and “RBB2” are arranged on the pay line.

(Watermelon) ”is displayed, and the pattern combination is such that watermelons are aligned on the right downward line. When the combination is aligned on the winning line, the winning is made and a payout of “4” is obtained. Since these combinations have reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that do not have symbols constituting the symbol combination within the frames (operation timing frames + maximum sliding 4 frames), all of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R If the operation timing does not match, it is configured not to win a prize.

  The combination “CWM” (the symbol combination group “C watermelon”) is a symbol combination in which watermelons are aligned on the middle line by displaying the symbol “WM” on the winning line (middle line). When the combination is aligned on the winning line, the winning is made and a payout of “4” is obtained. Since these combinations include reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that do not have symbols constituting the symbol combination within frames (operation timing frames + maximum sliding four frames), the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. If it does not match, it is configured not to win.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control unit 101 in FIG. 4 sets setting values (setting 1 to setting 6). This set value is for selecting a combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102 to be described later, and each of the set values corresponds to each of a plurality of combination lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. It is attached. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the ON / OFF state of a change process start switch (not shown) when the power is turned on. When the power is turned on with the change process start switch being ON, a predetermined setting change process is performed. Start.

  Here, the winning probabilities in the lottery in the general game are set in a plurality of stages distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (six types in this case), and the role shown in FIG. A lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) is associated. When the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall where the slot machine 1 is installed can change the setting value.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 in FIG. 4 is a game type (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, BB1, etc.) controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63, and a set value (setting) set by the setting control means 101. One lottery table is selected from a plurality of combination lottery tables 671 shown in FIG. That is, for example, in a general game, the table selection means 102 selects a combination lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) as a combination lottery table according to the set value (setting 1 to setting 6) of the winning probability.

(4) Role lottery means 103
The combination lottery means 103 shown in FIG. 4 has a plurality of combinations including a plurality of general combinations (small combination, replay combination) including a specific combination and a bonus combination (at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated to start a game). A winning lottery is performed in which which winning combination is determined based on a lottery value generated based on the start of the game. In addition, in the AT non-permitted state, the part lottery means 103, when the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), and the advantageous RT (RT2) (see FIG. 10), the lottery value used for the part lottery and Using the same lottery value, it is determined whether or not the AT permissible combination to be in the AT permissible state is won (AT permissible winning). The role lottery means 103 includes a lottery value generation means 103a and a lottery value determination determination means 103b.

(4-1) Lottery value generation means 103a
The lottery value generation 103a is generated within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal number) by a random number generating means configured by an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts clock signals generated by the oscillation circuit. By extracting the random numbers for lottery performed at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated, a lottery value for determining the role lottery and AT allowable winning determination is generated. Since the random number generation means is constituted by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generation means is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a can be substantially handled as a random number. The lottery value generation unit 103a may generate a lottery value using a random number generated by a random number generator, or may generate a lottery value using a software random number. Further, the lottery value generation unit 103a may generate a lottery value by performing a predetermined calculation on the extracted random number value or the generated random number value.

(4-2) Lottery value determination determination means 103b
The lottery value determination / determination unit 103b determines which of the plurality of combinations including the AT allowable combination is won by determining the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, in the combination lottery table 671, for each lottery value within the range generated by the random number generation means, a plurality of combinations (AT allowable combination, small combination, BB1 medium) shown in FIG. The correspondence between the lottery value and the combination for determining which combination of winning combination, re-playing combination, bonus combination) or winning is set in advance. The lottery value determination / determination unit 103b refers to the combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selection unit 102, sets which lotion value the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a is set to, or loses. By determining whether the winning combination has been won, it is determined which of the plurality of winning combinations including the AT allowable winning combination has been won. That is, for the entire range of lottery values generated by the lottery value generation means 103a, the range of values determined to shift to the AT allowable state (AT allowable winning) and the value range not determined to shift to the AT allowable state (AT allowable non-winning) are determined. The range of values is preset in the role lottery table 671, and the lottery value determination / determination unit 103b sets the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a for the role lottery based on the start of the game to the AT allowable state. It is also used to determine whether or not to migrate.

  Further, in the part lottery table 671, some lottery values are set redundantly for winning of a plurality of parts, so that all the lottery values generated by the lottery value determination and determination unit 103b are generated by the lottery value generation unit 103a. When the range is determined, that is, as a result lottery result of the role lottery means 103, a winning combination group shown in FIG. In addition, among the winning combination groups shown in FIG. 10, for the winning combination group composed of a plurality of combinations, it is allowed that the symbol combinations for all the combinations constituting the winning combination group are aligned on the winning line. State. In addition, when the AT winning combination is included in the winning combination group, the AT allowable winning is set, and the AT allowable state setting unit 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, about some specific lottery values among lottery values that are not won (lost) in all the roles in the role lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1) The winning lottery means 103 in the advantageous RT (RT2) wins the replay (specific general role) that is a re-playing role, and the lottery values excluding the specific lottery value are the normal RT (RT1) and the advantageous RT. The combination lottery table 671 is set in the combination lottery means 103 in (RT2) so that the combination lottery results are the same. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the specific lottery value does not include a lottery value for winning an AT allowable combination determined to be in the AT allowable state.

  With this configuration, since the lottery value for AT-acceptable winning is not included in the lottery value that changes whether or not to win the general role depending on the gaming state, the winning probability of the general role corresponding to the change in the gaming state Regardless of the level change, it is possible to give the player a uniform sense of expectation regarding the AT allowable winning.

  Next, the names of the combinations constituting each winning combination group in FIG. 10 will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the role names are “AT allowed”, “Red 7 Big”, “BAR Big”, “Normal Replay”, “Promotion Replay 1” to “Promotion Replay 6”, “Tumble Fall Replay 1” to “ Troll Replay 3 "," BAR Match Replay "," Fake Play "," Cherry "," Watermelon A "," Watermelon B "," Push Order Unquestioned Bell "," Left Center Right Correct Bell 1 "to" Left Center Right " "Correct answer bell 4", "Left / right middle correct answer bell 1"-"Left / right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle right / left correct answer bell 1"-"Middle right / left correct answer bell 4", "Middle right left correct answer bell 1"-"Middle right left correct answer bell" "4", "Right middle right correct bell 1"-"Right left middle correct answer bell 4", "Right middle left right answer bell 1"-"Right middle left right answer bell 4", "BB1 middle role" are set. Has been. Each of these roles excluding “AT allowed” is composed of one or more kinds of symbol combination groups.

  Here, when a winning combination group including a combination composed of a plurality of symbol combination groups is won (see FIG. 10), all of the symbol combination groups constituting the combination are allowed to win along the winning line. It is a state that has been. Specifically, for example, when the “promotion replay 6” shown in FIG. 9 is won, any symbol combination of the symbol combination groups “N lip”, “U lip”, “SP1”, and “SP2” is aligned on the winning line. It is a state that is allowed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, “Red 7 Big” and “BAR Big” are bonus combinations, and “Normal Replay” is a re-playing game unrelated to the transition of the gaming state. In addition, “promotion replay 1” to “promotion replay 6” are all re-playing roles provided as specific roles to which a privilege that the gaming state is promoted (RT1 → RT2) according to the pressing order. Also, “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” are provided as specific roles to which a privilege that the gaming state is maintained without falling (RT2 → RT1) (RT2 → RT2) according to the pressing order is provided. Is a re-playing role. As described above, when “normal replay” is won during ART in the AT-permitted state shown in FIG. 5, a lottery in the push order is performed as shown in FIG. 24, and the lottery is determined. If the answer is correct in the order of pressing, the number of games that is added to the number of games during the AT period is given.

  In addition, “BAR-matched replay” is a re-playing game that is a lottery target only during the bonus game (BB1). “BAR” is configured to be aligned. Specifically, when the symbol “CH (Cherry)” is pressed when the left reel 13L is first stopped, the symbol “CH (Cherry)” stops in the middle. At this time, the symbol “BAR” is stopped at the upper stage, and when the symbol “BAR” is aimed at the second and third stops, the symbols “BAR” are aligned in a straight line (obliquely downward). In other cases, such as when the symbol “CH (Cherry)” is not pressed in the first stop, the symbol combination group “N Lip” is aligned with the winning line. In addition, when “BAR-matched replay” is won, the number of games set in advance by the right granting determination unit 100f is added to the number of AT period games (AT execution right) counted by the AT period game number counter 654. .

  In addition, “Fake play” is a re-game player who is a target of lottery only in the bonus game state (BB1). When the game “BAR” is selected in the game selected for the winning game, the symbol “BAR” is displayed. It is configured so that it does not align at the final stop though it is a temper. Specifically, when the symbol “CH (Cherry)” is pressed when the left reel 13L is first stopped, the symbol “CH (Cherry)” stops in the middle. At this time, the symbol “BAR” is stopped in the upper stage, and when the symbol “BAR” is aimed at the second stop, the symbol “BAR” is tempered downward. Next, even if the symbol “BAR” is pressed at the third stop, it is not aligned. When the symbol “CH (Cherry)” is not pressed for the first stop, any one of the combinations “NRP1” to “NRP12” constituting the symbol combination group “N Lip” is aligned with the winning line. ing. Further, when reversely pressed (right → middle → left), any one of the symbol combination groups “SRP1” to “SRP4” is aligned with the winning line.

  “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B” are all small roles related to paying out medals (game value). Executed. Note that the symbol combination groups constituting these small roles include reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that do not have symbols constituting a symbol combination for winning a prize within 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum sliding 4 frames). For this reason, if the operation timings of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R do not match, a failure (non-winning) occurs.

  The “push order unquestionable bell” is a small role in which symbols of the symbol combination group “C bell” are arranged on the winning line regardless of the push order. Note that when the winning combination is won during ART in the AT-allowed state shown in FIG. 5, an effect of informing the player of the pushing order may be executed.

  In addition, each of “left middle right correct answer bell 1” to “left middle right correct answer bell 4” is a specific role in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. As a small role. When these winning combinations are won, if the first stop is operated by the left switches 13L, the second stop is the middle reel 13M, and the third stop is operated by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the pushing order of the right reel 13R, the symbol combination group A symbol of “T bell” is aligned with the winning line and a “9” payout is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with a payout of “1” are aligned on the winning line, or a loss occurs.

  Further, “right / left middle correct answer bell 1” to “left / right middle correct answer bell 4” are small roles as special roles in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation sequence of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. is there. When these winning combinations are won, if the first stop is operated by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the order of pushing the left reel 13L, the second stop is the right reel 13R, and the third stop is the middle reel 13M, the symbol combination group The “CD Bell” symbols are aligned on the winning line and a “9” payout is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with a payout of “1” are aligned on the winning line, or a loss occurs.

  Further, “middle right and left correct bell 1” to “middle left and right correct bell 4” are all small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) differs depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, the symbol combination group is operated by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the order that the first stop is the middle reel 13M, the second stop is the left reel 13L, and the third stop is the right reel 13R. The symbols for “C-bell” are aligned on the winning line and a “9” payout is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with a payout of “1” are aligned on the winning line, or a loss occurs.

  Further, “middle right left correct answer bell 1” to “middle right left correct answer bell 4” are all small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) differs depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, the symbol combination group is operated by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the order in which the first stop is the middle reel 13M, the second stop is the right reel 13R, and the third stop is the left reel 13L. A symbol of “CU Bell” is aligned with the winning line, and a “9” payout is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with a payout of “1” are aligned on the winning line, or a loss occurs.

  “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 1” to “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 4” are all small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation sequence of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, if the first stop is operated by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the order of pushing the right reel 13R, the second stop is the left reel 13L, and the third stop is the middle reel 13M, the symbol combination group The symbols for “KY Bell” are aligned on the pay line and a “9” payout is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with a payout of “1” are aligned on the winning line, or a loss occurs.

  Further, all of “right middle left correct answer bell 1” to “right middle left correct answer bell 4” are small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) differs depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. It is. When these winning combinations are won, if the first stop is operated by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the order of pushing the right reel 13R, the second stop is the middle reel 13M, and the third stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol combination group The symbols relating to “KY Bell” are aligned on the winning line, and a “9” payout is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with a payout of “1” are aligned on the winning line, or a loss occurs.

  In addition, “BB1 medium combination” is a winning combination that is a lottery target only during the bonus game (BB1). When the winning combination is won, regardless of the pressing order, symbols relating to the symbol combination group “C-bell” are aligned on the winning line and “9” dividends are awarded.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is, for example, the winning winning group “Cherry + Red 7 Big”, both “Cherry” and “Red 7 Big” are applied. This is a state in which the symbol combination is allowed to be aligned with the winning line, and there is a possibility that the symbols relating to the symbol combinations “RBB1” (see FIG. 6) and “BCH” (see FIG. 8) are aligned with the winning line. As other winning group (bonus lottery results) including bonus roles, “Cherry + BAR Big”, “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big”, “Watermelon A + BAR Big”, “Watermelon B + Red 7 Big”, “AT Allowed + “Cherry + Red 7 Big”, “AT Allowed + Cherry + BAR Big”, and “AT Allowed + Watermelon B- + Red 7 Big” are configured. Therefore, when the symbol combinations related to the winning combinations “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B” are aligned on the winning line, the expectation of winning the bonus combination increases.

  During the bonus internal winning (RT3), since the winning state for the bonus combination is carried over, the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is the winning group “Cherry + Red 7 Big”, “Cherry + BAR”. If it is one of “Big”, “AT tolerance + cherry + red 7 big”, or “AT tolerance + cherry + BAR big”, a new type of bonus combination will not be won, other than the carry-over bonus combination As the symbol combinations permitted for the winning combination, only the symbol combinations relating to the winning combination “Cherry” are permitted to be aligned on the winning line. In addition, the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is any of the winning group “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big”, “Watermelon A + BAR Big”, “Watermelon B + Red 7 Big”, “AT Allowed + Watermelon B + Red 7 Big”. In the case of a new type of bonus combination, a combination of symbols related to the combination name “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” is only accepted as a combination other than the bonus combination carried over. It is allowed to align with the winning line.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the bonus game state (BB1) is configured not to win the AT allowable combination, but for example, the AT allowable combination is also won during BB1. In the case where the lottery value is AT allowable winning, the AT allowable winning may be controlled to be invalidated during BB1. In this embodiment, the AT allowed combination is not won by itself, but the AT allowed combination may be won alone.

(5) Determination result storage means 104
The determination result storage unit 104 in FIG. 4 stores, in the first data area of the determination result storage area 652, information that can specify whether or not the bonus combination is won as a determination result by the lottery value determination determination unit 103b. Information that can specify whether or not the general role is won is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652, and information that can specify whether or not the AT permissible state (AT permissible win) is determined Store in the third data area of the storage area 652.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a unique hexadecimal highest number is assigned to an AT-acceptable combination, a unique hexadecimal higher number is assigned to each bonus combination, and each general combination ( A unique hexadecimal lower number is assigned to each of the replay combination, small combination, and BB1 combination. Then, the determination result storage unit 104 corresponds to the combination number assigned to the combination (including the case of losing) constituting the winning combination group that is the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 103 in the determination result storage area 652. Store in the data area.

  That is, when the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the AT allowable combination shown in FIG. 10, the determination result storage means 104 is assigned to the winning AT allowable combination. The highest role number “01h” is stored in the 1-byte third data area of the determination result storage area 652. The determination result storage means 104 stores the highest-ranked role number “00h” assigned to the lost in the data area when the AT-acceptable role is lost (non-winning). Also, after storing “01h” as the highest number, by maintaining this value, even if there is a new AT allowable winning combination, it is ignored, and when the end condition or the limiter condition is satisfied, “00h” is set as the highest number. After storing “,” it is configured to allow AT-acceptable winning.

  If the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the bonus winning combination shown in FIG. One of the numbers “01h” and “02h” is stored in the 1-byte first data area of the determination result storage area 652. Note that the determination result storage means 104 stores the upper combination number “00h” assigned to the loss in the data area when the bonus combination is lost (non-winning). Further, after storing “01h” or “02h” as the upper number, the bonus combination is carried over by maintaining this value until winning the bonus combination.

  Further, if the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the general combination (replay combination, small combination, BB1 medium combination) shown in FIG. Any one of the lower role numbers “01h” to “29h” assigned to the selected general role is stored in the 1-byte second data area of the determination result storage area 652. Note that the determination result storage unit 104 stores the lower combination number “00h” assigned to the loss in the data area when the general combination is lost (not elected).

  With this configuration, bonus winnings, general winnings, and AT allowable winnings are stored and managed in parallel, so that when winning is determined using the same lottery value, each winning is summarized. Can be managed. In addition, by storing and managing data in this way, it is possible to make a determination with reference to only the data type required in one control, so that processing can be performed efficiently.

  Note that an AT allowable state storage area for storing the AT allowable state may be further provided. In this case, in the case of AT permissible winning, the highest role number “01h” is temporarily stored in the determination result storage area 652 and the data stored in the separately provided AT permissible state storage area is confirmed. If “00h” is stored in the AT allowable state storage area, “01h” may be stored in the AT allowable state storage area. Then, after “01h” is stored in the AT permissible state storage area, this value may be maintained until the end condition or the limiter condition is satisfied.

  Further, in this embodiment, it is configured so that a plurality of general roles will not be won at the same time. However, if a plurality of general roles are selected at the same time, a plurality of selected general roles will be selected. What is necessary is just to set the storage capacity of the 2nd data area of the determination result storage area 652 so that all the low-order numbers assigned to each can be memorize | stored. In addition, a lower role number is newly assigned to each combination of general winnings to be simultaneously won, and the lower role number assigned to the combination of general winnings to be simultaneously won is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652. May be.

(5) Stop control means 105
The stop control means 105 in FIG. 4 uses the stop table 672 to change the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R based on the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R by the player and the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103. Stop control is performed. The stop control means 105 basically receives the constituent symbols within the drawable range in all the reels 13L, 13M, 13R in order to make the winning names belonging to the winning combination group determined by the winning lottery means 103 win. Stop control to stop at the middle stage. Each reel 13L, 13M, 13R has an allowable number of sliding frames (withdrawable range: normally 4 frames at maximum), so if the operation timing does not match, the symbols for winning the winning line May not be able to be aligned, and in such a case, missing (non-winning) occurs.

  In the winning group “normal replay”, the symbols constituting the winning combinations “NRP1” to “NRP12” are arranged at positions that can be pulled in regardless of the timing of operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. Therefore, the stop control means 105 performs the reel control so that any one of the combinations “NRP1” to “NRP12” is aligned with the winning line.

  The winning combination group “Promotion Replay 1” is composed of two types of symbol combination groups “N Lip” and “U Lip”. In this embodiment, when the winning combination group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination group that is preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U Lip” in the case of “left → middle → right” in the winning order of the winning group, and in other cases the symbol The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority given to the combination group “N lip” (see FIG. 20A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). In addition, since the symbol combination group “U Lip” is related to the transition to the advantageous RT (RT2), in the winning group “Promotion Replay 1”, the order of pushing “left → middle → right” is advantageous to the player. It becomes a pushing order.

  The winning group “Promotion Replay 2” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N Lip”, “U Lip” and “SP Lip 1”. Even when the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U Lip” if the “Left → Right → Middle” is pressed in the winning group, and in other cases, the symbol combination group “U Lip”. The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority given to the combination group “N lip” (see FIG. 20A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 1” is a symbol combination group that is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination group but is not actually arranged. In the winning combination group “Promotion Replay 2”, the pushing order of “Left → Right → Medium” (“U Lip”) is an advantageous pushing order for the player.

  The winning combination group “Promotion Replay 3” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N Lip”, “U Lip” and “SP Lip 2”. Even when the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U Lip” in the case of “Middle → Left → Right” in the winning order of the winning combination group, and in other cases, the symbol The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority given to the combination group “N lip” (see FIG. 20A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 2” is a symbol combination group that is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination group, but is not actually arranged. In the winning combination group “Promotion Replay 3”, the pressing order of “middle → left → right” (“U Lip”) is the advantageous pressing order for the player.

  The winning combination group “Promotion Replay 4” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N Lip”, “U Lip” and “SP Lip 3”. Even when the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U Lip” in the case of “middle → right → left” in the winning order of the winning group, and in other cases the symbol The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority given to the combination group “N lip” (see FIG. 20A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 3” is a symbol combination group that is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination group but is not actually arranged. In the winning combination group “Promotion Replay 4”, the pushing order of “middle → right → left” (“U Lip”) is the advantageous pushing order for the player.

  The winning combination group “Promotion Replay 5” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N Lip”, “U Lip”, and “SP Lip 4”. Even when the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U Lip” in the case of “Right → Left → Middle” in the winning order of the winning group, and in other cases, the symbol The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority given to the combination group “N lip” (see FIG. 20A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 4” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination group but is not actually arranged. In the winning combination group “Promotion Replay 5”, the push order of “right → left → middle” (“U Lip”) is the push order advantageous to the player.

  The winning combination group “Promotion Replay 6” is composed of four types of symbol combination groups “N Lip”, “U Lip”, “SP Lip 1”, and “SP Lip 2”. Even when the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U Lip” in the case of “Right → Middle → Left” in the winning order of the winning group, and in other cases, the symbol The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority given to the combination group “N lip” (see FIG. 20A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). Here, the symbol combination groups “SP Lip 1” and “SP Lip 2” are symbol combination groups that constitute the winning combination group but are not actually aligned. In the winning combination group “Promotion Replay 6”, the push order of “right → middle → left” (“U Lip”) is the push order advantageous to the player.

  The winning combination group “falling replay 1” is composed of two types of symbol combination groups “N lip” and “D lip”. When the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N Lip” when the left reel 13L is in the first stop when winning the winning combination group, and in other cases, the symbol combination group “ The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority on “D lip” (see FIG. 21A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). In addition, since the symbol combination group “D lip” is related to the transition from the advantageous RT (RT2) to the normal RT (RT1), in the winning combination group “tumbling replay 1”, the left reel 13L is pushed for the first stop. The order becomes the pushing order advantageous to the player.

  The winning combination group “falling replay 2” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N lip”, “D lip” and “SP lip 1”. Even when the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N lip” when the middle reel 13M is in the first stop when winning the winning combination group, and in other cases, the symbol combination group “ The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority on “D lip” (see FIG. 21A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 1” is a symbol combination group that is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination group but is not actually arranged. In the winning combination group “falling replay 2”, the pushing order in which the middle reel 13M is in the first stop (“N lip”) is an advantageous pushing order for the player.

  The winning combination group “falling replay 3” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N lip”, “D lip” and “SP lip 2”. Even when the corresponding winning group is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N lip” when the right reel 13M is in the first stop at the time of winning the winning combination group, and the symbol combination group “ The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed with priority on “D lip” (see FIG. 21A). Since both symbol combination groups are symbol combination groups that are not missed, the priority symbol combination groups are always aligned (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 2” is a symbol combination group that is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination group, but is not actually arranged. In the winning combination group “falling replay 3”, the right reel 13R has the first stopping push order (“N lip”) that is advantageous to the player.

  The winning combination group “BAR matching replay” is composed of two types of symbol combination groups “CH Lip” and “N Lip”. The stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “CH Lip” when the first stop is the left reel 13L, and gives priority to the symbol combination group “N Lip” when the first stop is the left reel 13L. Then, stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed (see FIG. 22A). For example, when the operation is performed at a timing at which the symbol “CH (cherry)” can be pulled into the left reel 13L, the symbol “CH (cherry)” stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. At this time, the symbol “BAR” is located in the upper stage. When the symbol “BAR” is pressed in both the second and third stops, the stop control unit 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the symbols “BAR” are aligned in a straight line. If the first stop is the left reel 13L but the operation timing is such that the symbol “CH (cherry)” cannot be pulled in, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N lip” and the reels 13L, 13M. , 13R is stopped. In addition, the winning group is subject to lottery only in the bonus game state (BB1), and when winning in the AT-permitted state, regardless of whether or not they are aligned in the straight line of the symbol “BAR”, the AT period game A number is added.

  The winning combination group “Fake Replay” is composed of six types of symbol combination groups “CH Lip”, “N Lip” and “SP Lip 1” to “SP Lip 4”. When the winning combination group is won and the first stop is the left reel 13L, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “CH lip” and performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R ( (See FIG. 22 (a)). For example, when the operation is performed at a timing at which the symbol “CH (cherry)” can be pulled into the left reel 13L, the symbol “CH (cherry)” stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. At this time, the symbol “BAR” is located in the upper stage. When the symbol “BAR” of the middle reel 13M is pushed up in the second stop, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the middle reel 13M so that the symbol “BAR” becomes a template. When the symbol “BAR” of the right reel 13R is pressed for the final stop, the stop control unit 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the symbols “BAR” are not aligned. In the case of reverse pressing (right → middle → left), the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that any one of the symbol combination groups “SP Lip 1” to “SP Lip 4” is aligned. . If the first stop is the middle reel 13M, or the first stop is the left reel 13L, but the operation timing is such that the symbol “CH (cherry)” cannot be pulled in, the stop control means 105 performs the symbol combination group “N "Is given priority to stop the reels 13L, 13M, 13R.

  The winning combination group “Cherry” is composed of a symbol combination group “B Cherry”. The stop control means 105, when winning the winning combination group, in order to win the symbol combination group “B cherry”, all of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R, the constituent symbols within the drawable range within the winning line (middle stage). ) Stop control to stop. For example, when the stop switch 21L is operated at an operation timing at which the symbol “BAR” can be pulled in the left reel 13L, the left reel 13L is controlled to stop so that the symbol “BAR” stops in the middle stage. Both the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R have the symbol “CH” for winning a prize placed at a position that can be stopped (retracted) in the middle stage regardless of the timing of the stop switches 21M and 21R being operated. The stop control means 105 performs stop control of the middle reel 13M or the right reel 13R so that the symbol “CH” stops in the middle stage. The stop control means 105 performs stop control of each of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so as to be lost when the stop switch 21L is not operated at an operation timing at which the symbol “BAR” can be pulled in with the left reel 13L. .

  The winning combination group “(AT tolerance +) cherry + red 7 big” is composed of symbol combination groups “B cherry” and “big 1”. The stop control means 105 performs reel control with priority on a small combination when winning the winning combination group.

  The winning combination group “(AT tolerance +) cherry + BAR big” is composed of symbol combination groups “B cherry” and “big 2”. The stop control means 105 performs reel control with priority on a small combination when winning the winning combination group.

  The winning combination group “Watermelon A” is composed of a symbol combination group “CD Watermelon”. When the winning control group 105 wins the symbol combination group, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at an operation timing at which the symbol “WM” can be pulled in the middle reel 13M, the symbol “WM” stops at the middle stage. Stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. In both the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R, no matter which timing the stop switches 21M and 21R are operated, the symbol “BE1” or “BE2” for winning is placed at a position where it can be stopped (retractable) in the middle stage. Therefore, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L or the right reel 13R so that the symbol “BE1” or “BE2” stops in the middle stage, respectively. The stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so as to cause a loss when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at an operation timing at which the symbol “WM” can be drawn by the middle reel 13M. Do.

  The winning combination group “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big” is composed of the symbol combination groups “CD Watermelon” and “Big 1”. The stop control means 105 performs reel control with priority on a small combination when winning the winning combination group.

  The winning combination group “Watermelon A + BAR Big” is composed of the symbol combination groups “CD Watermelon” and “Big 2”. The stop control means 105 performs reel control with priority on a small combination when winning the winning combination group.

  The winning combination group “Watermelon B” is composed of a symbol combination group “CD watermelon” and a symbol combination group “C watermelon”. When the winning control group 105 wins the symbol combination group, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at an operation timing at which the symbol “WM” can be pulled in the middle reel 13M, the symbol “WM” stops at the middle stage. Stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. The left reel 13L and the right reel 13R both have symbols (CD watermelon: “BE1” or “BE1” or “BE1” or “ BE2 ”, C watermelon:“ WM ”), the stop control means 105 is arranged so that the left reel 13L or so that any of the symbols“ BE1 ”,“ BE2 ”and“ WM ”stops in the middle stage, respectively. Stop control of the right reel 13R is performed. In this embodiment, the symbol combination group “CD watermelon” and the symbol combination group “C watermelon” are configured such that one of them wins according to the operation timing of the stop switch 21L. The stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so as to cause a loss when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at an operation timing at which the symbol “WM” can be drawn by the middle reel 13M. Do.

  The winning combination group “(AT tolerance +) watermelon B + red 7 big” is composed of symbol combination groups “CD watermelon”, “C watermelon” and “Big 1”. The stop control means 105 performs reel control with priority on a small combination when winning the winning combination group.

  “Watermelon A” is set as a winning combination with both “Red 7 Big” and “BAR Big” which are bonus roles, but “Watermelon B” is simultaneous with “Red 7 Big” only. It is set as a winning role. Therefore, when the symbol combination of the symbol combination group “C watermelon” that appears only when “Watermelon B” is won is aligned on the winning line, the expectation for winning “Red 7 Big” increases.

  When the winning combination group “push order unquestioned bell” is won, the stop control means 105 stops the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbol combination group “C bell” is aligned with the winning line regardless of the push order. Take control. The symbol combination group always wins because the symbols are arranged on the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so as to be drawn into the winning line regardless of the operation timing.

  The winning group "Left middle right correct answer bell 1"-"Left middle right correct answer bell 4", "Left and right middle correct answer bell 1"-"Left and right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle left and right correct answer bell 1"-"Middle left and right correct answer bell 4 ”,“ middle right left correct answer bell 1 ”to“ middle right left correct answer bell 4 ”,“ right left middle correct answer bell 1 ”to“ right left middle correct answer bell 4 ”,“ right middle left correct answer bell 1 ”to“ right middle left correct answer bell 1 ” Each of “4” is configured such that the symbol combination groups to be preferentially awarded according to the pressing order are different.

  For example, when the winning group “Left / Middle / Right Correct Bell 1” is won, the stop control means 105 has the highest dividend in the case of “Left → Middle → Right” push order (when the push order is correct). Stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed so that the symbol combination group “T bell” wins preferentially (see FIG. 23A). Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group with no missing (non-winning) prizes, it must be awarded.

  When the first stop is the left reel 13L and the second stop is the right reel 13R, that is, when the second stop is incorrect, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “left correct answer AT” to the reel 13L. , 13M, and 13R are controlled (see FIG. 23A). Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group that has not been missed, it will always win.

  When the first stop is the middle reel 13M (if the first stop is incorrect), the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” and performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. This is performed (see FIG. 23A). Specifically, since the symbol related to winning of the middle reel 13M in the symbol combination group “A1 inaccurate answer AT” is “BE1”, the stop control means 105 causes the symbol to stop at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Then, stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Since the symbol is not missed, the symbol always stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol related to winning the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” is “BAR” or “BE1”. When the left reel 13L is operated to stop at the time when it can be retracted, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. In the case of timing other than this, it is missed (non-winning) regardless of the operation timing of the third stop (see FIG. 23A). When both symbols can be drawn, it is preferable to perform stop control with priority given to either one. In the final stop (right reel 13R) when the winning symbol is operated at the second stop (left reel 13L), the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” is won. When the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the symbols “red 7” and “BL” can be retracted, the stop control means 105 causes the right reel 13R to stop at the middle stage of the right reel 13R. Perform stop control. In the case of other timings, the winning symbols are missed (non-winning) even though the winning symbols are stopped on the first and second stop reels (see FIG. 23A). Similar stop control is performed when the second stop reel is the right reel 13R.

  When the first stop is the right reel 13R (when the first stop is incorrect), the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “A right incorrect answer AT” and stops the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Control is performed (see FIG. 23A). Specifically, since the symbol related to the winning of the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group “A right incorrect answer AT” is “CH”, the stop control unit 105 causes the symbol to stop at the middle stage of the right reel 13M. Then, stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Since the symbol has not been missed, it always stops at the middle stage of the right reel 13M. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol for winning the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group “A right incorrect answer AT” is “BAR” or “BE1”. When the left reel 13L is operated to stop at the time when it can be retracted, the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the left reel 13L. In the case of other timings, it is missed (non-winning) regardless of the operation timing of the third stop. When both symbols can be drawn, it is preferable to perform stop control with priority given to either one. In the final stop (right reel 13R) when the winning symbol is operated at the second stop (left reel 13L) at the timing of drawing in the winning symbol, the reel 13M in the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” is awarded a prize. When the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the symbols “BAR” and “RP1” can be retracted, the stop control means 105 causes the right reel 13R to stop so that the symbol stops at the middle stage of the right reel 13R. Perform stop control. In the case of other timings, the winning symbols are missed (no winning) even though the winning symbols are stopped on the first and second stop reels. Similar stop control is performed when the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M. In the case of the winning group “Left / Middle / Right Correct Bell 1”, the push order (left → middle → right) in which the symbol combination group “T bell” with the highest payout is aligned with the winning line is the push order that is advantageous to the player. Become.

  The winning group “Left middle right correct bell 2” to “Left middle right correct bell 4”, and the winning group “Left / right middle correct bell 1” to “Left / right middle correct bell 4”, “Middle left / right correct bell 1” to “Middle” Left / right correct bell 4, “middle right / left correct bell 1” − “middle right / left correct bell 4”, “right / left middle correct answer bell 1” − “right left / right correct bell 4”, “right middle / left correct answer bell 1” − “right middle” Similarly to the winning combination group “left middle right correct bell 1”, the left correct answer bell 4 also has different symbol combination groups that are prioritized according to the pressing order. That is, in each winning group, one out of the six pushing orders (first stop correct answer and second stop correct answer) wins 100%, nine are paid out, and one (first stop correct answer and first stop answer) (2 stop incorrect answer) wins 100% and 1 is paid out, and 4 kinds (first stop incorrect answer) are awarded and 1 is paid out when the operation timing of the subsequent stop reels matches.

(7) Notification control means 106
The notification control means 106 in FIG. 4 controls the notification in the notification display 60 to be the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination unit 107 described later. A notification mode of the notification display 60 will be described later.

(8) Notification mode determination means 107
The notification mode determination unit 107 in FIG. 4 determines the notification mode on the notification display 60 based on the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 103 and the state of the slot machine 1 (non-AT, AT in preparation, AT). To decide.

  Specifically, the notification mode determination means 107 is “cherry”, “watermelon A” when the gaming state is the initial RT (RT0) and the non-AT state or the AT preparation state. Even if any winning combination group other than the winning combination group including “Watermelon B” is won, the notification mode is determined so that nothing is notified by the notification display 60 (see notification type “0” in FIG. 11).

  Further, when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) and the non-AT state or the AT preparation state, the notification mode determination means 107 has won the winning combination group including “Cherry” when it is in the AT preparation state. , A notification mode (see notification type “1” in FIG. 11) of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right), and information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle). It is determined to be one of notification modes (see notification type “2” in FIG. 11) of notification. Either of the notification modes is determined by lottery, for example. Note that the push order (left → middle → right) and push order (left → right → middle) are both “cherry” when the winning group “(AT tolerance +) cherry + red 7 big” is won simultaneously. ”Or“ Red 7 Big ”. These can also be referred to as a push order in which the operation timing range for winning a bonus combination is the largest in the push order (the number of frames is large).

  In addition, the notification mode determination means 107 includes the “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” in the case where the gaming state is the initial RT (RT0) and the non-AT state or the AT preparation state. In both cases, when the group is elected internally, a notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 11) in which information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) is notified, and the pressing order (middle → right) → Left) is determined as one of notification modes (see notification type “4” in FIG. 11) of notifying information that can be specified. Either of the notification modes is determined by lottery, for example. The push order (middle → left → right) and push order (middle → right → left) are all in the winning role groups “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big”, “Watermelon A + BAR Big”, “(AT tolerance +) Watermelon” It is a push order that can win both a small role ("Watermelon A" / "Watermelon B") or a bonus role ("Red 7 Big" / "BAR Big") when winning "B + Red 7 Big" . These can also be referred to as a push order in which the operation timing range for winning a bonus combination is the largest in the push order (the number of frames is large).

  The notification type “0” may be a different notification mode instead of a notification mode in which notification is not performed. In this case, it is preferable that the notification mode does not change until the third stop operation is performed from the state where at least all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating.

  In addition, when the gaming state is the normal RT (RT1) and the non-AT state, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines which of the winning combination groups including “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B”. Even if the winning group is elected internally, the notification mode is determined so that nothing is notified by the notification display 60 (see notification type “0” in FIG. 12). Further, the notification mode determination means 107 is a case where the gaming state is normal RT (RT1) and the AT is being prepared or in the AT state, and the winning lottery result is the winning combination group “normal replay”, “press Even in the case of internal winning or “losing” for any of the “unordered bells”, the notification mode is determined so that nothing is notified by the notification display 60 (see notification type “0” in FIG. 12).

  In addition, when the game state is the normal RT (RT1) and the winning combination group including “Cherry” is won, the notification mode determination means 107 pushes in any order in any state during non-AT, AT preparation, or AT. The notification mode (see notification type “1” in FIG. 12) of notifying information that can specify (left → middle → right) and the information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle) are notified. The notification mode (see notification type “2” in FIG. 12) is determined.

  In addition, when the game state is normal RT (RT1) and the winning combination group including “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” is won, the notification mode determination means 107 is not in AT, in preparation for AT, or in AT. Even in this state, it is possible to specify the notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 12) and the pressing order (middle → right → left) to notify information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right). It is determined as one of notification modes (see notification type “4” in FIG. 12) of notifying information.

  Further, the notification mode determining means 107 is the case where the gaming state is normal RT (RT1) and the AT is being prepared or in the AT state, and the role lottery result is stored in the winning role group “Promotion Replay 1”. In the case of winning, the notification mode is determined to notify information that can specify an advantageous push order (left → middle → right) on the notification display 60 (see notification type “1” in FIG. 12). At this time, also in the case of “promotional replay 2” to “promotional replay 6”, the notification mode determination unit 107 determines the notification mode in which information that can specify an advantageous push order is notified by the notification display device 60 ( Notification types “2” to “6” in FIG. 12).

  Further, the notification mode determination means 107 is the case where the gaming state is normal RT (RT1) and the AT is being prepared or in the AT state, and the winning lottery result is the winning combination group “left middle right correct bell 1 ”To“ Left middle right correct answer bell 4 ”,“ Left and right middle correct answer bell 1 ”to“ Left and right middle correct answer bell 4 ”,“ Middle left and right correct answer bell 1 ”to“ Middle right and left correct answer bell 4 ”,“ Middle right and left correct answer bell 1 ” -"Middle right left correct bell 4", "Right left middle correct answer bell 1"-"Right left middle correct answer bell 4", "Right middle left correct answer bell 1"-"Right middle left correct answer bell 4" In this case, the notification mode is determined such that information that can identify each advantageous push order is notified by the notification display 60 (see notification types “1” to “6” in FIG. 12).

  In addition, the notification mode determination means 107 uses the notification display 60 when the game state is in the advantageous RT (RT2) AT state and the winning lottery result is an internal winning in the winning combination group “falling replay 1”. The notification mode is determined to notify information that can specify the pressing order of “left → middle → right”, which is one of the advantageous pressing orders (see notification type “1” in FIG. 13). At this time, also in the case of the winning combination groups “falling replay 2” and “falling replay 3”, the notification mode determination means 107 similarly provides information that can specify one of the advantageous pushing orders on the notification display 60. The notification mode of notification is determined (see notification types “3” and “5” in FIG. 13).

  In addition, the notification mode determining means 107, when the winning state is an advantageous RT (RT2) and the winning combination group including “Cherry” is won, in either the non-AT state or the AT state, the pressing order (left to middle) → Right) Notification mode of notifying information that can specify (see notification type “1” in FIG. 13) and notification mode of notifying information that can specify the push order (left → right → middle) (FIG. 13 notification types (see “2”).

  Further, when the game state is advantageous RT (RT2) and the winning combination group including “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” is won internally, the notification mode determination means 107 is in any state during non-AT or AT. , A notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 13) of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right), and information that can specify the pressing order (middle → right → left). The notification mode (see notification type “4” in FIG. 13) is determined to be notified.

  Further, the notification mode determination means 107 is in the AT state where the gaming state is advantageous RT (RT2), and the winning lottery results are the winning combination groups “left middle right correct answer bell 1” to “left middle right correct answer bell 4”. , “Right and left middle correct answer bell 1” to “left and right middle correct answer bell 4”, “middle left and right correct answer bell 1” to “middle right and left correct answer bell 4”, “middle right and left correct answer bell 1” to “middle right and left correct answer bell 4”, “ In the case of an internal win for any of “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 1” to “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 4” or “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 1” to “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 4”, an advantageous push is performed by the notification display 60. The notification mode is to notify information that can specify the order (see notification types “1” to “6” in FIG. 13).

  By the way, in this embodiment, in the state of ART (RT2 + AT), when the winning combination group “normal replay” is internally won, it is determined by lottery whether or not to give an opportunity to add ART games. Here, when it is determined to give an opportunity to add, the pressing order is determined by lottery (see FIG. 24A). And if it corrects in the pushing order determined by the said lottery, it is comprised so that the number of AT period games may be added. Therefore, the notification mode determining means 107 is an opportunity to add the winning combination group “normal replay” when the gaming state is in an advantageous AT (RT2) AT (during ART) and the winning lottery result is internally won in the winning group “normal replay”. When it is determined not to give, it determines to the alerting | reporting aspect that nothing is alert | reported with the alerting | reporting display device 60 (refer alerting | reporting kind "0" of FIG. 13). On the other hand, if it is determined to give an opportunity to add, information indicating that the number of ART games will be added if the correct push order is not specified by the notification display 60, but the correct push order is correct. Is determined as a notification mode (see notification type “9” in FIG. 13).

  In addition, the notification mode determination means 107, when the gaming state is in the advantageous RT (RT2) AT state, and the winning lottery result is an internal winning in the winning combination group “push order unquestionable bell”, the push order “left → Long → Right → Middle → Left → Right → Middle → Middle → Left → Right → Middle → Right → Left → Right → Left → Middle It determines (refer FIG. 26 (a)), and it determines to the alerting | reporting aspect of alerting | reporting the information which can specify the said pushing order with the alerting | reporting display device 60 (refer alerting | reporting kind "1-5" of FIG. 13).

  Also, in this embodiment, the advantageous RT (RT2) and bonus internal winning (RT3) are set to have a higher winning probability for the re-gamer, although the winning probability for the small role does not change compared to the normal RT (RT1). Has been. Further, in the advantageous RT, the winning combination groups “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” are subject to lottery, and during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the replaying player is the winning group “normal replay”. Only lottery is selected (see FIG. 25A). Here, assuming that the bonus combination is won during the ART game and the bonus internal is selected (RT3), before winning the bonus combination, the winning combination groups “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” Although a notification for avoiding a fall of the gaming state is made at the time of internal winning, the notification of avoidance is not given during the bonus internal winning (RT3). Then, the player may predict the bonus winning because the notification is not made at the time of replay winning before the bonus role winning notification effect. Further, if the avoidance notification is made during ART, the player expects that the possibility of winning the bonus combination is low, and in any case, the player's pleasure is reduced. Therefore, the notification mode determination means 107 of this embodiment is in a state in which the gaming state is in the bonus internal winning (RT3) AT, and before the bonus winning combination is announced, the winning lottery result is the winning combination. In the case of the group “normal replay”, i) notification of the pressing order is not performed, ii) information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right) is notified, iii) the pressing order (middle → left → right) Iv) One of four types of notification modes for notifying information that can specify the push order (right → left → middle) is determined by lottery (FIG. 25B). Reference), the determined notification mode is determined as the notification mode of the notification display 60 (see notification type “0or1or3or5” in FIG. 14). The notification mode determined here is preferably the same notification mode as the avoidance notification.

  In addition, when the game state is in the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the winning combination group including “Cherry” is won, the notification mode determining means 107 is in any state during non-AT, AT preparation, or AT. Annunciation mode (see notification type “1” in FIG. 14) that informs information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right) and information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle) are notified. The notification mode (see notification type “2” in FIG. 14) is determined.

  Further, when the game state is in the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the winning combination group including “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” is won, the notification mode determining means 107 is not in AT, in preparation for AT, and in AT. In any of the states, the notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 14) of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) and the pressing order (middle → right → left) The notification mode (see notification type “4” in FIG. 14) of notifying identifiable information is determined.

  Further, when the game state is the bonus game state (BB1) and the winning lottery result is the winning combination group “BAR-matched replay” or “Fake play”, the notification mode determining means 107 is in the AT allowable state shown in FIG. In this case, the notification mode is determined to notify information indicating that there is a possibility that it is advantageous to aim at the BAR from the left with the notification display 60 (see notification type “7” in FIG. 15). In the AT non-permitted state shown, the notification mode is determined so that nothing is notified by the notification display 60 (see notification type “0” in FIG. 15). In the AT non-permitted state shown in FIG. 5, notification indicating the operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R so that the BAR is not aligned on the notification display 60 may be performed.

  Further, when the game state is the bonus game state (BB1) and the winning combination group “Cherry” is won internally, the notification mode determination unit 107 notifies the information that can specify the push order (left → middle → right). Either the mode (see notification type “1” in FIG. 15) or the notification mode (see notification type “2” in FIG. 15) of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle). decide. Either of the notification modes is determined by lottery, for example.

(9) Command creation means 108
The command creation means 108 in FIG. 4 has various information such as information on the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103, information on the operation of the operation tool operated by the player such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, the start switch 19, and the like. A command for transmitting the above information to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) is generated. The command generated by the command creating unit 108 is transmitted to the sub control board 73 by the command transmitting unit 113 as will be described later. The sub control board 73 selects an effect to be executed based on the command sent from the main control board 63. In other words, the command creation means 108 creates a command that indicates the content of the effect executed on the sub control board 73.

  Further, the command creation means 108 creates a command corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60 based on the state of the slot machine 1 and the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, in the case of a command (for example, “normal replay” that can specify the type of the role constituting the role lottery result (winning role group) of the role lottery means 103. $ 01 ") and a command (for example, initial RT (RT0) being non-ART) that can specify the type of notification mode (corresponding to" notification type "in FIGS. 11 to 15) of the notification display 60 In the case of “Cherry”, “0” is created.

  In addition, in FIG. 11-15, although the AT allowable combination and bonus combination (“Red 7 Big”, “BAR Big”) are omitted, the command creation means 108 wins the winning combination group including these combinations. Create a command that can specify the type of whether or not it is internal, and when it is won internally.

(10) Reel detection means 109
The reel detection means 109 in FIG. 4 sends the detection signals of the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R to the reel motors 14L, 14M, 14R that drive the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Based on the number of supplied pulses, the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected. In this case, the reel detection means 109 has a symbol positioned at a predetermined reference position (in this embodiment, for example, the middle stage of the display window 11) while the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and stopped. Each corresponding frame number is detected.

(11) Symbol determination means 110
The symbol determining means 110 in FIG. 4 determines in advance the display mode of the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R stopped by the stop control means 105 based on the rotational positions of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. It is determined whether or not the display mode is the displayed display mode, and it is determined whether or not the display result of the symbol when the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped is a predetermined winning mode.

(12) Dispensing control means 111
The payout control unit 111 in FIG. 4 gives a predetermined privilege (profit) to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination unit 110, and the symbol determination unit 110 determines that any winning combination has been won. If a winning with a medal payout is made, the hopper unit 43 is operated after the number of credit medals stored reaches the upper limit (for example, 50 in this embodiment), corresponding to the winning combination. A medal is paid out by the number of payouts to give a player a profit. Further, the payout control unit 111 increases the credit medals by the number of payouts instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43 as a medal payout until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

  Furthermore, when the symbol determining means 110 determines that the re-game player has won a prize, the payout control means 111 validates the winning line for the next game as if a prescribed number (three) of medals have been inserted.

(13) Medal control means 112

(14) Command transmission means 113
The command transmission unit 113 in FIG. 4 transmits the command including various information created by the command creation unit 108 from the main control board 63 to the sub control board 73 in one way. In this case, the game state such as the general gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2) and the bonus game state (BB1), the combination lottery result of the combination lottery means 103, the symbol determination result by the symbol determination means 110, each reel 13L, 13M, 13R A command including information indicating the state of the slot machine 1 such as the rotation / stop state of the slot machine 1 and the payout state of the medal by the payout control means 111 is transmitted to the sub-control board 73.

  In addition, the command transmission unit 113 transmits a command including data indicating a detection state of inserted medals by the insertion sensor 53 and operation states of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17 to the sub-control board 73. Further, the command transmission means 113 transmits a command including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated by the player to the sub-control board 73.

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub control board 73 in FIG. 4 receives the command transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs an effect according to the operation and state of the main control board 63. The sub-control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 (see FIG. 3) and various functions realized by controlling hardware.

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving unit 200 in FIG. 4 receives a command including various information transmitted by the command transmitting unit 113 of the main control board 63. When receiving a command transmitted from the main control board 63, the command receiving means 200 notifies each function provided in the sub control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 201
The effect content determining unit 201 in FIG. 4 is for determining the content of the effect according to the command received by the command receiving unit 200. Specifically, a moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is determined from an effect pattern set in advance corresponding to the progress of the game, the result of the role lottery means 103, or the like from the speakers 31L and 31R. An effect such as determining the music and sound to be played, and flashing the light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R all at once or individually is determined. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 determines the effect content for executing the notification effect corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60.

  Then, the effect content determination unit 201 transmits a signal including data regarding the determined effect content to the display control unit 202 and the audio control unit 203.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control unit 202 in FIG. 4 displays a moving image (image) on the liquid crystal display 27 based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 201, or displays the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp unit 37L. , 37R, and the like are controlled to blink simultaneously or individually.

(4) Voice control means 203
The voice control unit 203 in FIG. 4 performs control such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting voice based on data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 201. .

(Specific example of notification effect)
Next, a notification effect mode controlled by the sub control board 73 and a notification mode example of the notification display 60 controlled by the main control board 63 will be specifically described.

  As shown to Fig.27 (a), the alerting | reporting display device 60 is comprised by 1st, 2nd 7 segment LED60a, 60b and the alerting | reporting lamp 60c, for example, does not perform notification of a pushing order. In the case of the notification mode, all the segments S1 to S7 are not lit in both the 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b (notification type “0”).

  Specifically, when it is determined by the notification mode determination means 107 that the notification display 60 determines to notify in the notification type of the notification type “0”, the command reception means 200 can specify a command ( "0" command) is received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 does not produce an effect related to the suggestion of the pressing order, but produces an effect corresponding to the winning combination (bonus combination, small combination or re-playing combination) specified from the information transmitted as a command. Decide on the execution effect. As an example of the effect determined here, for example, when the role name “normal replay” can be identified from the transmitted command, the blue effect (background And other effects).

  Further, for example, as shown by ● in FIG. 27B (the off state is indicated by ○), the AT allowable state setting means 100c turns on the notification lamp 60c, whereby the slot machine 1 is set to the AT allowable state. Can be notified.

  By the way, the first 7-segment LED 60a is configured to change to a notification mode that suggests the next stop operation when the stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped. On the other hand, the second 7-segment LED 60b is for specifying the notification type, and is configured to continue the same notification from the notification to the final stop. In principle, lighting of the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a suggests that the left reel 13L is stopped, lighting of the segment S3 suggests stopping of the middle reel 13M, and lighting of the segment S6 indicates that the right reel 13R is lit. Suggests a stop.

-Promotion Replay As shown in FIG. 20 (a), "Promotion Replay 1" to "Promotion Replay 6" are all replayed from normal RT (RT1) when the symbol combination group "U Lip" stops on the winning line. Since it shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2) in which the winning probability of the game combination is set to be high, it is a re-game combination whose advantage varies depending on the pressing order.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (b), the notification display 60 suggests a pushing order (left → middle → right) that is advantageous to the player when the winning group “promotional replay 1” is won in the AT. The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1” to be performed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), in the case of the notification type “1”, the notification display 60 performs the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a from the start switch 19 to the first stop. Is turned on to indicate that the left reel 13L is stopped, and only the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b is turned on. The lighting of the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type is “1”. Subsequently, during the period from the first stop to the second stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S3, which suggests that the middle reel 13M is stopped. During the period from the second stop to the third stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S6, which suggests that the right reel 13R is stopped. After the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first and second 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b are turned off. If it does in this way, it can alert | report to a player that it will become advantageous to operate in order of a push (left-> middle-> right).

  When the notification mode determination means 107 determines that the notification display 60 uses the notification type “1” for the notification type, the command reception means 200 uses the command (“1” command for specifying the notification type). ). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 20B, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pressing (left → middle → right). Is determined to be an effect content for executing a notification effect (operation order suggestion effect) for notifying that it is an advantageous pressing order. In this way, the notification content of the notification display 60 and the notification content of the liquid crystal display 27 can be linked.

  In addition, the notification display device 60 notifies the notification type “2” indicating the push order (left → right → middle) advantageous to the player when the winning group “promotion replay 2” in the AT is won internally. The player is notified in a manner. In this case, as shown in FIG. 27 (c), the segment S1 of the first 7-segment 60a is turned on during the period from when the start switch 19 is turned on to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S6 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S3 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on during the period from the second stop to the third stop. Further, for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S3 is lit during the period from when the start switch 19 is turned on to when the third switch is stopped, thereby notifying that the notification type is “2”. At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received a command that can specify the notification type “2” (command of “2”), the effect content determining means 201 is, for example, as shown in FIG. The notification effect that displays an image such as “132” on the liquid crystal display 27 and informs the player that the pressing order (left → right → middle) is advantageous is determined as the content of the execution effect. .

  In addition, the notification display device 60 notifies the notification type “3” that indicates the pushing order (middle → left → right) that is advantageous to the player when the winning group “promotion replay 3” in the AT is won internally. Inform the player in a manner. In this case, as shown in FIG. 27 (d), the segment S3 of the first 7-segment 60a is turned on during the period from when the start switch 19 is turned on to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S1 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S6 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on during the period from the second stop to the third stop. For the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S6 is lit during the period from the start switch 19 ON to the third stop to notify that the notification type is “3”. At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received a command that can specify the notification type “3” (command of “3”), the effect content determining means 201 is, for example, as shown in FIG. The notification effect that displays an image such as “213” on the liquid crystal display 27 and informs the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is advantageous is determined as the content of the execution effect. .

  In addition, the notification display 60 notifies the notification type “4” indicating the pushing order (middle → right → left) that is advantageous to the player when the winning group “promotion replay 4” is won in the AT. Inform the player in a manner. In this case, as shown in FIG. 28 (a), the segment S3 of the first 7-segment 60a is turned on from the start switch 19 to the first stop and from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S6 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S1 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on during the period from the second stop to the third stop. For the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S4 is lit during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is “4”. At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received a command that can specify the notification type “4” (command of “4”), the effect content determining means 201 is, for example, as shown in FIG. The notification effect that displays an image such as “312” on the liquid crystal display 27 and informs the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is advantageous is determined as the content of the execution effect. .

  In addition, the notification display 60 indicates the notification type “5” indicating the push order (right → left → middle) that is advantageous to the player when the winning combination “promotion replay 5” is won in the AT. To inform the player. In this case, as shown in FIG. 28 (b), the segment S6 of the first 7-segment 60a is turned on from the start switch 19 ON to the first stop, and from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S1 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S3 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on during the period from the second stop to the third stop. For the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S2 is lit during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is “5”. At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received a command that can specify the notification type “5” (command of “5”), the effect content determining means 201 is, for example, as shown in FIG. The notification effect that displays an image such as “231” on the liquid crystal display 27 and informs the player that the pressing order (right → left → middle) is advantageous is determined as the content of the execution effect. .

  Further, the notification display 60 indicates the notification type “6” indicating the push order (right → middle → left) which is advantageous to the player when the winning combination “promotion replay 6” is won in the AT. To inform the player. In this case, as shown in FIG. 28 (c), the segment S6 of the first 7-segment 60a is turned on from the start switch 19 to the first stop and from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S3 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on, and the segment S1 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on during the period from the second stop to the third stop. For the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S7 is lit during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to notify that the notification type is “6”. At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received a command that can specify the notification type “6” (command of “6”), the effect content determining means 201 is, for example, as shown in FIG. The notification effect that displays an image such as “321” on the liquid crystal display 27 and informs the player that the pressing order (right → middle → left) is advantageous is determined as the content of the execution effect. . Note that, when the push order is notified, but the operation different from the push order is performed, the lighting of the first and second segment LEDs 60a and 60b may be stopped.

-Falling Replay As shown in FIG. 21 (a), the "falling replay 1" to "falling replay 3" are advantageous when the symbol combination group "D lip" stops on the winning line RT (RT2) When the symbol combination group “N Lip” stops on the winning line from the normal RT (RT1), the gaming state is maintained at the advantageous RT (RT2). .

  As shown in FIG. 21 (b), the notification display 60 is “push order (which is one of the push orders advantageous to the player when the winning combination group“ falling replay 1 ”during AT” is won internally. The player is notified in a notification mode of notification type “1” indicating “left → middle → right)” (see FIG. 27B).

  When the notification mode determination means 107 determines that the notification display 60 uses the notification type “1” for the notification type, the command reception means 200 uses the command (“1” command for specifying the notification type). ). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pressing (left → middle → right). Is determined to be an effect content for executing a notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous.

  In addition, the notification display 60 displays “push order (middle → left → right)” which is one of the push orders advantageous to the player at the time of internal winning of the winning group “falling replay 2” during AT. The player is notified in the notification mode of the suggested notification type “3” (see FIG. 27D).

  When it is determined by the notification mode determination means 107 that the notification display 60 is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “3”, the command reception means 200 can specify a command (“3” command that can specify the notification type). ). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 21B, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “213” on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pressing (middle → left → right). Is determined to be an effect content for executing a notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous.

  In addition, the notification display 60 displays “push order (right → left → middle)” which is one of the push orders that is advantageous to the player when the winning group “Tumble Fall Replay 3” is won in the AT. The player is notified in the notification mode of the suggested notification type “5” (see FIG. 28B).

  When it is determined by the notification mode determination means 107 that the notification display 60 is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “5”, the command reception means 200 is a command that can specify the notification type (command “5”). ). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 21B, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “231” on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pressing (right → left → middle). Is determined to be an effect content for executing a notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous.

  Note that the winning combination groups “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” all have an advantageous pushing order determined only by the first stop, and thus, for example, a notification mode in which only the first stop is notified by the notification display 60. It is good. In this case, when the internal winning of the winning combination group “falling replay 1” during AT is performed, the notification display device 60 has a first stop reel that is advantageous to the player, for example, as shown in FIG. The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “α” that suggests that it is the left reel 13L. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30 (a), the notification display 60 lights only the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a between the time when the start switch 19 is turned on and the time when the first switch is stopped. The stop of the reel 13L is suggested, and the segment S1 and the segment S2 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. The lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S2 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type is “α”. Subsequently, during the period from the first stop to the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned off, and it is suggested that the pushing order of the remaining reels 13M and 13R is unquestioned. . In this way, it is possible to notify the player that it is advantageous to operate the stop switch 21L so that the first stop becomes the left reel 13L.

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 uses the notification type “α” for notification in the notification type “α”, the command reception unit 200 determines a command (for example, “α”) that can specify the notification type. Command). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 21C, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “1--” on the liquid crystal display 27 and first stops the left reel 13 to the player. It is determined that the content of the effect is to execute a notification effect that informs that the pressing order is advantageous.

  The same notification is performed for the winning combination groups “falling replay 2” and “falling replay 3”. In this case, the notification type of the notification display device 60 in the case of the winning combination group “falling replay 2” is set to “β”, and it is notified that the first stop of the middle reel 13M is an advantageous push order. Further, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), the liquid crystal display 27 displays an image such as “−1−”, and it is advantageous for the player to first stop the middle reel 13M. Inform you. In the case of the winning combination “falling replay 3”, the notification type of the notification display 60 is set to “γ”, and it is notified that the first stop of the right reel 13R is an advantageous push order. Further, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), the liquid crystal display 27 displays an image such as "--1", and it is advantageous for the player to first stop the right reel 13R. Inform the effect.

-BAR-matched replay and fake play As shown in Fig. 22 (a), the winning group "BAR-matched replay" and "Fake play" that can be won only during the bonus game state (BB1) are both in the first stop. When the symbol “BAR” is aimed at the left reel 13L and the symbol “BAR” is aimed at the middle reel 13M at the second stop, the symbol “BAR” is tempered downward (diagonally), but at the final stop, the symbol “BAR”. When aiming at, it differs depending on whether the symbols “BAR” are aligned or not. In addition, if the winning group “BAR Match Replay” is internally won in the AT-enabled state, a predetermined number of games will be added to the number of AT period games regardless of whether or not the symbol “BAR” is aligned to the right. The That is, it is a winning combination group in which the player's advantage does not change depending on the pressing order.

  In such a case, if the player is guided from the left to aim at the symbol “BAR”, a thrilling feeling as to whether or not the AT is given can be given, so that the player's interest can be enhanced. Therefore, the notification display device 60 guides the player to aim at the symbol “BAR” from the left when the winning combination “BAR-matched replay” or “Fake play” is won in the bonus game state (BB1). The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “7” (see FIG. 22B). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28 (d), the notification display 60 lights up the segment S1 and the segment S2 of the first 7-segment LED 60a between the start switch 19 ON and the first stop. This suggests that the left reel 13L is stopped, and lights up the segment S1 and the segment S3 of the second 7-segment LED 60b. The segment S2 of the 7-segment LED 60a at this time indicates “aiming for the symbol“ BAR ””. In the second 7-segment LED 60b, the lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S3 is maintained from the first stop to the third stop. The lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S3 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type is “7”. Subsequently, during the period from the first stop to the third stop, for example, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S2, the segment S3, and the segment S6. In this case, since either reel may be used for the second and third stops, both the segment S3 and the segment S6 are lit on the notification display 60, and the symbol "BAR" can be aimed at the segment S2. It has come to understand. That is, the recommended operation reel and the operation timing are notified as in the first stop.

  When it is determined by the notification mode determination means 107 that the notification display 60 is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “7”, the command receiving means 200 is a command (“7” command) that can specify the notification type. ). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 22B, the production content determination means 201 displays an image such as “Aim at BAR from the left!” On the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pushing ( Left-to-middle-to-right), the content of the effect is determined to execute the effect of guiding the user to aim for the symbol “BAR”.

・ Push order bell As shown in FIG. 23 (a), when the symbol combination group “T bell” stops on the winning line, the role names “left middle right correct bell 1” to “left middle right correct bell 4” Since a higher payout “9” is obtained than in the other symbol combination groups, it is a small combination (specific combination) whose degree of advantage differs depending on the pressing order.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (b), the notification display 60 is advantageous to the player during the internal winning of the winning group “left middle right correct bell 1” to “left middle right correct bell 4” during AT. The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1” that suggests the pressing order (left → middle → right) (see FIG. 27B).

  When the notification mode determination means 107 determines that the notification display 60 uses the notification type “1” for the notification type, the command reception means 200 uses the command (“1” command for specifying the notification type). ). In this case, for example, the effect content determining means 201 displays an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 and notifies the player that the pressing order (left → middle → right) is an advantageous pressing order. The content of the effect to execute the notification effect is determined (see “sub notification at AT” in FIG. 23B).

  Winning role groups during AT "Left / Right Middle Correct Bell 1"-"Left / Right Middle Correct Bell 4", "Middle Left / Right Correct Bell 1"-"Middle Left / Right Correct Bell 4", "Middle Right Left Correct Bell 1"-"Middle Right Left Correct Answer" The notification modes at the time of internal winning of “Bell 4”, “Right middle left correct bell 1” to “Right middle left correct bell 4”, “Right middle left right bell 1” to “Right middle left right bell 4” are the same. For example, at the time of internal winning in the winning role groups “middle left and right correct bell 1” to “middle left and right correct bell 4” in AT, the notification type “3 indicating the pushing order (middle → left → right) advantageous to the player” Is notified to the player (see FIG. 27D).

  When it is determined by the notification mode determination means 107 that the notification display 60 is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “3”, the command reception means 200 can specify a command (“3” command that can specify the notification type). ). In this case, for example, the effect content determination unit 201 displays an image such as “213” on the liquid crystal display 27 and notifies the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is an advantageous pressing order. The content of the effect to execute the notification effect is determined.

・ Addition of AT period number of games by normal replay in ART As shown in FIG. 24 (a), in the state of ART (RT2 + AT), when the winning group “normal replay” is won internally, the right grant determining means Whether or not 100f adds an AT period game number (AT execution right) is determined by a right grant lottery. When it is determined to give an opportunity to add, the pressing order is determined by lottery. When the pushing order is determined in this way, if the player is allowed to select one pushing order among all pushing orders, the number of AT games can be increased with a probability of 1/6. , Can increase the interest of the player.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, in the state of ART (advantageous RT (RT2) + AT), when the winning group “normal replay” is won internally, the right granting means 100f pushes the number of games to be added. When determined, the notification display 60 cannot specify the push order in which the player can get an extra, but the notification type “9” suggesting that the player can get an extra if the answer is correct in the six-choice push order. The player is notified in the notification mode (see FIG. 24B).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 29 (a), the segment S1, the segment S3, and the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned on and the second switch is turned on from the ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop. The segment S1 and the segment S4 of the 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. Since the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a corresponds to the left reel 13L, the segment S3 corresponds to the middle reel 13M, and the segment S6 corresponds to the right reel 13R, the period from the start switch 19 ON to the third stop By lighting these segments, it is possible to create a notification mode in which advantageous push order becomes information that cannot be specified. Further, the lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S4 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type is “9”.

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 uses the notification type “9” for notification type, the command reception unit 200 uses the command (“9”) that can specify the notification type. Command). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), the production content determination means 201 displays an image such as “AT (addition) GET: ????” if the answer is 6 correctly. Then, although it is impossible to specify an advantageous push order, an effect for notifying that the degree of advantage differs depending on the push order is determined as the content of the execution effect.

・ Dummy notification during normal replay during RT3 The notification mode determination means 107 is a lottery in which the gaming state is in the AT state during the bonus internal winning (RT3) and before the bonus winning selection is announced. When the result is a winning combination group “normal replay”, i) notification of the pressing order is not performed, ii) information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right) is notified, iii) the pressing order (middle → Lottery determines one of the four types of notification modes of notifying information that can specify left → right), iv) notifying information that can specify the push order (right → left → middle) (see FIG. 25 (b)), and in this lottery, when it is determined that any one of the notification modes of ii) to iv) is to be the notification mode of the notification display 60, the notification display unit 60 pushes the notification mode in the order of the notification modes. Notification type “1” or “3” for reporting information that can identify "Or" 5 ".

  Specifically, when the notification mode determination means 107 determines the notification mode of ii), the notification display 60 changes the pressing order (left → middle → right) as shown in FIG. 25 (c). The player is notified in the notification mode of the suggested notification type “1” (see FIG. 27B). When the notification mode determining means 107 determines the notification mode of iii), as shown in FIG. 25 (c), the notification display device 60 indicates a pressing order (middle → left → right). The player is notified in the notification mode of type “3” (see FIG. 27D). Further, when the notification mode determining means 107 determines the notification mode of iv), the notification display device 60 indicates a pressing order (right → left → middle) as shown in FIG. 25 (c). The player is notified in the notification mode of type “5” (see FIG. 28B).

  When it is determined by the notification mode determination means 107 that the notification display 60 determines the notification type “1”, “3” or “5”, the command reception means 200 identifies the notification type. A command (“1” or “3” or “5” command) is received. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 25 (c), the production content determination unit 201 displays an image that can specify the pressing order determined by the notification mode determination unit 107 on the liquid crystal display 27, and The effect of informing the order is determined as the content of the execution effect.

-Push order unrecognized bell The notification mode determining means 107 is pushed when the game state is in the advantageous RT (RT2) AT state and the result lottery result is an internal win in the winning combination group “push order unrecognized bell”. One push order from 5 types: “Left → Middle → Right”, “Left → Right → Middle”, “Middle → Left → Right”, “Middle → Right → Left”, “Right → Left → Middle” Is determined by lottery (see FIG. 26 (a)), and is determined to be a notification mode in which information capable of specifying the determined pressing order is notified in the notification display 60 (notification types “1 to 5” in FIG. 13). reference).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), when the notification mode determination means 107 determines the push order “left → middle → right”, the notification display 60 displays the push order (left → middle → right). Is notified to the player in a notification mode of notification type “1” (see FIG. 27B). The same applies to other cases where the order of pressing is determined.

  When the notification mode determination means 107 determines that the notification display 60 uses the notification type “1” for the notification type, the command reception means 200 uses the command (“1” command for specifying the notification type). ). In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 26B, the effect content determination unit 201 displays an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 and notifies the pressing order (left → middle → right). The contents of the performance to be performed are determined. The same applies to other cases where the order of pressing is determined.

-Only the first stop is notified As another example of the notification effect informing the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, for example, while notifying a part of the pressing order, the player is allowed to select the remaining pressing order. You may comprise. For example, when the first stop is the left reel 13L and the player selects the second and third stop reels 13M and 13R, as shown in FIG. 30B, the start switch 19 is turned on until the first stop. During this period, the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segment S1 and the segment S7 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. Since the segment S1 of the first seven-segment LED 60a corresponds to the left reel 13L, it can be suggested that the first reel to be stopped is the left reel 13L. Further, the segment S3 and the segment S6 of the 7-segment LED 60a are turned on from the first stop to the third stop and from the ON of the first start switch 19 to the third stop. Since the segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a corresponds to the middle reel 13M and the segment S6 corresponds to the right reel 13R, by turning on both of these segments, the middle reel 13M and the right are turned on at the second and third stops. The pressing order of the reels 13R can be selected. The lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S7 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type according to the notification mode is “z”.

  When it is determined by the notification mode determination means 107 that the notification display unit 60 notifies the notification type “z” in the notification mode “z”, the command reception means 200 can specify a command (“z” command) that can specify the notification type. ). In this case, for example, the effect content determination unit 201 displays an image such as “1 ??” on the liquid crystal display 27 and guides the player to select the remaining pressing order with the first stop reel being the left reel 13L. The content of the performance to be performed is determined.

-Pressing 7 As another notification example, for example, a notification may be made to guide the user to press 7 on. In this case, as shown in FIG. 30 (c), the segment S1, the segment S3, the segment S5, and the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are lit while the start switch 19 is turned on until the third stop. The segment S1 and the segment S5 of the second seven-segment LED 60b are turned on. At this time, since the pressing order is arbitrary, the segment S1, the segment S3, and the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned on. Further, the segment S5 of the first 7-segment LED 60a means “aiming at 7”. The lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S5 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type according to the notification mode is “y”.

  When the notification mode determining means 107 determines that the notification display 60 uses the notification type “y” for notification in the notification type “y”, the command receiving means 200 can specify a command (“y” command for specifying the notification type). ). In this case, for example, the effect content determination unit 201 displays an image such as “Aim at 7!” On the liquid crystal display 27 to execute an effect that prompts the player to press the symbol “red 7”. Decide on the content.

Next, a notification mode of the notification display 60 and the liquid crystal display 27 when the winning combination group including “Cherry”, “Watermelon A” and “Watermelon B” is won internally will be described. As described above, “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B” may be won simultaneously with the bonus combination (“Red 7 Big” / “BAR Big”). When the winning combination group including the combination is won internally, the notification display 60 performs notification in the same notification mode in both cases of independent winning and simultaneous winning.

  For example, the winning combination group “Cherry”, “(AT tolerance +) cherry + red 7 big” and “(AT tolerance +) cherry + BAR big” are internally won, and the notification type determination unit 107 notifies the notification type “1”. In this case, the notification display 60 suggests that the left reel 13L is stopped by turning on only the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a during the period from the ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop. Only the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b is turned on. During the period from the first stop to the second stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S3, which suggests that the middle reel 13M is stopped. During the period from the second stop to the third stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S6, which suggests that the right reel 13R is stopped. After the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first and second 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b are turned off. That is, when the same notification type is determined by the notification mode determination unit 107, the notification display 60 is notified in the same notification mode even if the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 103 is different. When informing in this way, the player is prompted to operate the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the push order (left → middle → right). If the player follows the notified pressing order, for example, even when the winning group “Cherry + Red 7 Big” is won internally, “Cherry”, “Red 7 Big” It is possible to selectively win any of the above. On the other hand, if this notification is not followed, it is impossible to win “Red 7 Big” at any timing except in the push order (left → right → middle).

-Cherry If the winning group “Cherry”, “(AT tolerance +) cherry + red 7 big” or “(AT tolerance +) cherry + BAR big” is internally won, the command receiving means 200 sends an internal winning transmission. A command ("$ 05" command) that can specify the group type (see FIGS. 11 to 16) is received. In this case, for example, the production content determination means 201 displays an image such as “Cherry!” On the liquid crystal display 27 between the time when the start switch 19 is turned on and the time when the start switch 19 is stopped for the second time. It is determined that the production content is to execute the suggestion production that suggests that the player has won internally. In addition, even if the winning group “Cherry + Red 7 Big” or “Cherry + BAR Big” is won internally, it will be notified that the bonus role (“Red 7 Big”, “BAR Big”) has been won internally in the game. Without notification, only the internal winning of “Cherry” will be notified. In this way, it is possible to give the player an expectation that the player may have won the bonus role even in the case of winning “Cherry” alone. Further, the image of “It's Cherry!” Displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 may be displayed at any timing from the lever ON to before the third stop.

・ Watermelon Next, for example, the winning group “Watermelon A”, “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big”, “Watermelon A + BAR Big”, “Watermelon B” and “Watermelon B + Red 7 Big” will be internally elected and notified. When the notification type “3” is determined by the mode determining means 107, the notification display device 60 turns on the segment S3 of the first seven segments 60a during the period from when the start switch 19 is turned on to when the first stop is performed. Between the stop and the second stop, the segment S1 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on, and during the second stop and the third stop, the segment S6 of the first 7 segment 60a is turned on. For the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S6 is lit during the period from the start switch 19 ON to the third stop to notify that the notification type is “3”. When informing in this way, the player is prompted to operate the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in the order of pressing (middle → left → right). Then, if the player follows the notified push order, for example, even when the winning group “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big” is internally won, the “Watermelon A”, “Red 7 Big” It is possible to selectively win any of the above. On the other hand, if this notification is not followed, it is not possible to win “Red 7 Big” regardless of the timing of operation except in the pressing order (middle → right → left).

  If the winning group “Watermelon A”, “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big”, “Watermelon A + BAR Big”, “Watermelon B” and “Watermelon B + Red 7 Big” are internally won, the command receiving means 200 A command that can specify the internal winning transmission group type (see FIGS. 11 to 16) (a command of “$ 06” for both watermelon A and watermelon B) is received. In this case, for example, the production content determination means 201 displays an image such as “Chance!” On the liquid crystal display 27 during the period from when the start switch 19 is turned on to when the start switch 19 is turned on for the second stop. Or it determines to the production content which performs the suggestion production which suggests that "watermelon B" is won internally. Even if the winning group “Watermelon A + Red 7 Big”, “Watermelon A + BAR Big”, or “Watermelon B + Red 7 Big” is selected as an internal winner, the bonus combination (“Red 7 Big” , “BAR Big”) is notified only of the internal winning of “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” without notifying that the internal winning has been made. In this way, even when “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” is won alone, the player can be expected to have won the bonus combination. Note that the image of “chance !!” displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 may be displayed at any timing from the lever ON to the third stop. As for the suggestion effect that suggests the determination result of the role lottery means 103, only the effect in which the type of the winning combination is found, such as the effect at the time of internal winning of the winning group including “Cherry” described above. In addition, the “specific role” includes an effect in which the expectation of the internal winning of the “specific role” is improved by the occurrence of the effect as compared with the case where there is no effect.

Bonus notification The effect content determining means 201 is an effect of notifying that the bonus combination has been internally won at a predetermined opportunity (for example, the game next to the winning game of the bonus combination) during the bonus internal selection (RT3). A certain bonus finalization effect is determined as the content of the execution effect. In this case, for example, an image such as “Bonus confirmed!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to notify the internal winning of the bonus combination. Further, in the game after the bonus finalizing effect during the bonus internal winning (RT3) is performed, the production content determination means 201, for example, when the internal title is “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B”, An effect of providing a small frame in the lower right region 27a of the liquid crystal display 27 and displaying the characters “watermelon” or the like is determined as the content of the execution effect. At this time, the notification display 60 performs notification in a notification mode that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) or the pressing order (middle → right → left) (notification type “3” or “ 4 ”). In this way, it can be seen that the player has won the winning name “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” during the bonus internal winning (RT3).

(Specific examples of games)
Next, a specific example of the game will be described with reference to FIGS.

(1) “AT Allowed + Cherry” Winning As shown in FIG. 31A, when “AT Allowed + Cherry” is won and the grant determining means 100d grants the AT execution right for 3 games, A continuous production using the liquid crystal display 27 is started in the winning game. The AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state and lights the notification lamp 60c when the next game is started. Further, the AT game available state determining means 100g determines that the AT game is available and sets the flag during the AT period to ON. Note that the AT allowable state setting unit 100c may turn on the notification lamp 60c when the winning game is over.

  In the example shown in FIG. 31 (a), after entering the AT permissible state (AT game possible state), the push order bell is won in the second game, so the advantageous push order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is notified. , Because the push order was correct, it won the prize in a state advantageous to the push order bell. Next, “losing” is displayed at the end of the continuous performance in the third game, and the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state because the remaining number of games in the AT period game count becomes zero. And the notification lamp 60c is turned off at the end of the third game.

  It is not always possible to win a specific role such as a push order bell during the AT period of 3 games. For example, an AT allowed state (AT game possible state) until a specific role is won twice and two AT games are played. ) May be continued. By doing in this way, it can suppress that the dissatisfaction that an AT game is not performed although it changed to AT permission state arises in a player.

(2) “Cherry + Red 7 Big” Winning As shown in FIG. 31B, when “Cherry + Red 7 Big” is won, “Chance” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 in the winning game. By performing the production, the production is performed to give the player the expectation that the AT may have been won. Next, after 3 games have passed in the state where the bonus combination is carried over (RT3), a final effect is announced to announce that the bonus combination is won internally, and the bonus combination is won by winning the bonus combination. The game state (BB1) is entered.

  In the example shown in FIG. 31 (b), the notification lamp 60c is not lit and is in an AT non-permitted state, so that the notification effect is not performed even if the BAR uniform replay (fake play) is won. However, for example, the operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in which BARs are not aligned may be notified. Even if the BAR-matched replay is won in the AT non-permitted state, the AT execution right is not granted. Therefore, by performing a notification effect that the BAR is not aligned, the BAR is aligned. It is possible to reduce the dissatisfaction of the player about not being granted the AT execution right.

  If the bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b ends the bonus game state (BB1) and sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0).

(3) “AT Allowed + Cherry + Red 7 Big” Winning As shown in FIG. 31C, when “AT Allowed + Cherry + Red 7 Big” is won, the liquid crystal display 27 “ By performing the suggestion effect displayed as “Chance”, the player is given an expectation that the AT may have been won. The AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state, but does not light the notification lamp 60c during the bonus internal winning (RT3).

  Next, after 3 games have passed in the state where the bonus combination is carried over (RT3), a final effect is announced to announce that the bonus combination is won internally, and the bonus combination is won by winning the bonus combination carried over. The game state (BB1) is entered. At this time, the AT permissible state setting means 100c turns on the notification lamp 60c. Further, the liquid crystal display 27 is used to produce an effect of notifying the number of games of the AT execution right granted when “AT tolerance + cherry + red 7 big” is won (example shown in FIG. 31C). Then 50 games).

  In the example shown in FIG. 31 (c), since the notification lamp 60c is lit and is in an AT-allowed state, a notification effect is provided so that the BAR is aligned when the BAR-matched replay is won. In addition, when the number of games is added to the number of games in the AT period during the bonus game state (BB1), an effect of notifying the added number of games is performed. If the bonus game end condition is satisfied, the gaming state setting unit 100b ends the bonus gaming state (BB1) and sets the gaming state to the initial RT (RT0), and the AT gaming possible state determining unit 100 performs AT. When the AT period is started by setting the flag during the period and the remaining number of games in the AT period game becomes 0, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state and notifies the AT machine. The lamp 60c is turned off.

  If the bonus combination is won during the AT period, the AT period is interrupted and the process shifts to the bonus internal winning (RT3), and returns to the AT period through the bonus game state (BB1). In addition, during the bonus internal winning (RT3), there is no AT permissible winning combination, no addition of the AT period game number, and no navigation (AT game) is performed even if the AT period game number remains. However, navigation (AT game) may be performed so that the payout rate is less than 1 when the number of AT-period games remains in the AT allowable state.

  Further, when the AT winning combination and the bonus combination are simultaneously won, the AT allowable state and the bonus internal winning are set (RT3) from the next game, but the AT allowable state setting means 100c turns on the notification lamp 60c (ON). ) I) timing for bonus winning as in the example shown in FIG. 31 (c), ii) timing for winning the “AT allowable combination + bonus combination” as in the example shown in FIG. 31 (a), iii ) Any timing of the bonus confirmation notification may be used.

  In the case of the timing i), after the “chance” notification is made, the expectation of the AT allowable winning can be maintained until the bonus winning, so that the player's interest can be improved. Also, in the case of i), the notification lamp 60c is turned on after the bonus internal winning (RT3) is over, which is very disadvantageous for a player who does not add the number of games during the AT period. Since the count of the AT allowable period by the period game number counter 653 is started, the count value of the allowable period game number counter 653 for determining whether the limiter condition is satisfied can be brought into a state advantageous to the player. Also, in the case of the timing of iii), the count value of the allowable period game number counter 653 can be made slightly advantageous to the player as compared with the case of the timing of ii).

(4) “AT Allowed + Cherry + BAR Big” Winning As shown in FIG. 32, when “AT Allowed + Cherry + BAR Big” is won, a suggestion effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 in the winning game. By performing the above, an effect that makes the player expect that he may have won the AT allowance is performed. The AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state, but does not light the notification lamp 60c during the bonus internal winning (RT3).

  Next, after 3 games have passed in the state where the bonus combination is carried over (RT3), a final effect is announced to announce that the bonus combination is won internally, and the bonus combination is won by winning the bonus combination carried over. The game state (BB1) is entered. At this time, the AT permissible state setting means 100c turns on the notification lamp 60c.

  In the example shown in FIG. 32, since the notification lamp 60c is lit and is in an AT-permitted state, a notification effect (buzzing effect) that expects the BAR to be aligned when a winning play is won is performed. In addition, when the number of games is added to the number of games in the AT period during the bonus game state (BB1), an effect of notifying the added number of games is performed. If the bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b ends the bonus game state (BB1) and sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0). Also, as in the example shown in FIG. 32, when the AT execution right is not granted when the AT allowable winning is performed, and the number of games of the AT execution right is not granted during the bonus game state (BB1), The AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permitted state and turns off the notification lamp 60c.

(5) Winning “AT Permissible + Watermelon B” As shown in FIG. 33, when “AT Permissible + Watermelon B” is won, the CZ activation after the foreword will be won in the special lottery for AT execution right by the special right grant determining means 100e. For example (see FIG. 18), by performing the suggestion effect of displaying “chance” on the liquid crystal display 27 in the winning game, an effect that makes the player expect that he may have won the AT allowance is performed. At this time, the AT allowable state setting unit 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state and lights the notification lamp 60c.

  Subsequently, a prelude effect (continuous effect) is started from the next game, and the special right grant determining means 100e performs CZ lottery with a 1/100 winning probability until the first 5 games, and then with a 3/4 winning probability. CZ lottery is performed. Then, the player enters the CZ (chance zone) from the next game won by CZ, and when the winning order is won, the correct pushing order is notified (navigated), and if the pushing order is correct, the winning probability is 1/8. The AT lottery is performed (in the example shown in FIG. 33, the AT lottery is lost). Also, as shown in FIG. 33, after entering the CZ, when 10 games or more have passed and navigation has been performed for two push order bell wins but no AT win has been won, If the push order is incorrect, the game mode is set to the CZ high probability state.

  If CZ is won in the CZ high probability state, a predecessor effect (continuous effect) for a predetermined number of games is executed, and then the player enters the CZ. Subsequently, in CZ, if an AT lottery executed when the pushing order is correct with respect to the pushing order bell winning is won, an AT execution right is granted, and the AT gaming possible state determining means 100 is in the AT gaming possible state. When the AT period flag is set to ON and the AT period is started, and the remaining number of games in the AT period game count becomes 0, the game mode is set to the CZ high probability state. Then, as in the example shown in FIG. 32, if the falling lottery is won in the CZ high-accuracy state, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT non-permissible state and turns off the notification lamp 60c.

(Operation after the limiter condition is satisfied)
Next, with reference to FIG. 34, the timing at which the AT allowable winning is possible after the limiter condition is satisfied will be described.

(1) When AT Allowable Winning is Allowed after Transitioning to RT1 or RT0 As shown in FIG. 34 (a), when the limiter condition (1500 games) is satisfied, the AT non-permitted state is set ("01h" → “00h”), the limiter flag is set ON (“0” → “1”). At this time, while the limiter flag is set to ON, even if a lottery value for AT allowable winning is obtained, AT allowable winning is not configured. The game state is set to RT1 by winning with a falling symbol, and the limiter flag is set to OFF (“1” → “0”), so that the AT allowable winning is possible.

  While the limiter flag is set to ON, for example, by changing the lighting state of the notification lamp 60c, such as the color and brightness, it is notified that the normal period is waiting.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), when the number of games remaining in the AT period is 0 and the AT execution right is terminated, the winning state is set with the falling symbol and the gaming state is set to RT1, and the AT non-permitted state. Until it is set (“01h” → “00h”), the lighting state of the notification lamp 60c is maintained and the AT allowable state is maintained. At this time, while the lighting state of the notification lamp 60c is maintained (AT permissible state), when an AT period game number extra lottery is won, the number of games is added to maintain the AT permissible state. It may be configured, or when an AT permissible win is made, an AT permissible state may be maintained by adding the number of AT period games.

  When the AT remaining game count becomes 0 and the AT execution right is ended, the AT non-permitted state is set (“01h” → “00h”), and the limiter flag is set in the same manner as when the limiter condition is satisfied. While it is set to ON ("0" → "1") and the limiter flag is set to ON, even if a lottery value for AT allowable winning is acquired, AT allowable winning is not configured. Good.

(2) When the AT Allowable Winning is Enabled from the Next Game After the Limiter Condition is Established As shown in FIG. 34 (c), when the limiter condition (1500 game) is satisfied and the AT non-permitted state is set (" 01h "→" 00h "), the notification lamp 60c is turned off, and after the notification lamp 60c is turned off, the AT allowable winning can be performed. In this way, even if it is configured so that it is possible to perform AT permissible in RT2, since the lottery values for the permissible AT permissible are configured uniformly regardless of the gaming state as in the bonus combination, fairness can be ensured. .

  In addition, when AT allowance is won during RT2, RT2 may be maintained and counting of AT period games may be started, or once the transition from RT2 to RT1 and once again transition to RT2, the AT period You may make it start the count of the number of games. In this case, the count of the duration of the AT allowable state for determining the limiter condition is configured to start from zero.

  Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, whether or not the AT game permissible state allowing the AT game advantageous to the player is determined by the role lottery means 103 in the game in the AT game non-permitted state that does not allow the AT game. The lottery value is the same as the lottery value used when the role lottery is performed. That is, the main control board 63 is generally associated with a lottery value that is designed to be highly secure and difficult to perform fraud, and whether or not the AT lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is associated with one-to-one. Yes. Therefore, since it is uniquely determined whether or not the AT allowed winning is based on the lottery value generated based on the start of the game, it is possible to make it difficult to cheat on the AT game. Therefore, by determining whether or not the AT-permitted winning is made by a fair lottery, it is possible to more efficiently take countermeasures against the AT game.

  In addition, by using a lottery value generated based on the start of the game, whether or not the AT winning winning is always the same expectation, as in the case of a bonus hand that determines whether or not the winning lottery means 103 has always won with the same expected value. Since it can be determined by value, it can be expected whether or not it is an AT-permitted winning for each game, as well as whether or not a bonus winning combination is expected, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the player . In addition, since one lottery value determines whether or not a winning combination and whether or not an AT allowable winning is determined, whether or not a player enters an AT allowable state based on which winning combination is determined. Can be estimated, and the interest in games can be improved. Further, by making two determinations using one lottery value, it is possible to reduce the processing load for lottery value generation.

  In addition, while the lottery value used for the role lottery is commonly used to determine whether or not the AT is allowed, the right to play an AT game in accordance with the result of the role lottery is provided on condition that the AT is allowed. Since the right granting means 100f is provided, the player can enjoy a multi-stage lottery before playing an AT game, and can improve the interest of the player. In addition, the right granting unit 100f grants the right according to the result of the lottery, while the security is improved by uniquely determining whether or not the AT allowable winning is determined by the lottery value used for the role lottery. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing AT games can be increased.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the grant determining unit 100d, the special right grant determining unit 100e, and the right grant determining unit 100f are individually provided. However, the AT execution right may be granted by a common unit. Further, the method of granting the AT execution right during the AT permissible period is not limited to the grant method described in the above embodiment, and the right grant lottery (additional lottery) conditions and the like can be changed as appropriate.

  In the above embodiment, the notification lamp 60c is lit to notify that the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state. However, when the slot machine 1 enters an error state, the first and second The 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b may be turned off, but if the AT is allowed, the notification lamp 60c may be turned on. Further, information indicating that the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state may be output from an external terminal to a hall computer or the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, the limiter condition is satisfied when the duration of the AT allowable state is 1500 games, and the AT allowable state is ended (the AT allowable state is ended by the limiter). The conditions are not limited to the number of all games played in the AT-permitted state (the number of continued games during the AT-permitted period). For example, a limiter condition for ending the AT permission state based on the number of medals acquired in the AT permission state after starting the AT permission state may be set. Specifically, the limiter condition is satisfied when the acquired number of medals reaches a certain number during the AT allowable period after the AT allowable state is started, and the AT allowable state is terminated (the AT allowable period of the limiter is (End).

  In this case, the total number of medals is obtained by counting the number of medals obtained by winning each winning combination for all winning combinations that have paid out medals during the AT allowable period after starting the AT allowable state. When the number of sheets exceeds a certain number (for example, 3000 sheets), the AT permissible state may be terminated. On the other hand, for a plurality of specific combinations (for example, “push order bell”) that informs the player of the operation mode of the stop switch advantageous to the player, only the number of medals obtained by winning each specific combination is counted, If the acquired number of sheets exceeds a certain number, the AT allowable period may be terminated.

  Note that the total payout number obtained by counting the number of paid out medals may be used as the total acquired number of medals to determine whether or not the limiter condition is satisfied, and the medal insertion slot is determined from the number of paid out medals. Whether or not the limiter condition is satisfied may be determined based on the total number obtained by counting the number of net increase obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals to 25.

  Moreover, although the case where the notification lottery result is notified by one notification display 60 has been described, as in the notification display 60, a notification display composed of two 7-segment LEDs is provided separately. The notification indicator is used to notify the advantageous pushing order of the push order bell, and the other notification indicator is selected for a specific small role ("Cherry", "Watermelon A", "Watermelon B"). And may be used to suggest a push order during these simultaneous wins. In this case, when notifying the same pushing order, the notification mode of both notification displays may be the same. Further, at this time, the notification display for push order bell is decorated such as “cherry”, “watermelon A,“ watermelon B ”, such as the periphery of the notification display for push order bell (front plate 9) is decorated. It may be configured to be easier to recognize than a notification display for a winning combination group that includes “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B”. The display device may be smaller than the notification display device for the push order bell. In this case, the result of the lottery that is notified by the smaller notification display is not related to the push order bell (winning role group) in which the advantageous operation order is notified to the player during AT or the like. It is possible to make the player recognize that this is the case.

  Further, even when the pushing order bell (specific role) and the winning order group including any of “Cherry”, “Watermelon A”, and “Watermelon B” have the same advantageous pushing order, the notification display You may comprise so that the alerting | reporting aspect by 60 may differ. In this case, the first 7-segment LED 60a that informs the information that can specify the push order changes the notification manner of the second 7-segment LED 60b that indicates the type of notification manner according to the type of the winning combination group as the same notification manner. It is good to do so. Also, at this time, different notification modes (for example, the second seven segments) are selected for the push order bell, the winning group including “Cherry”, the winning group including “Watermelon A”, and the winning group including “Watermelon B”. The LED 60b) may be used, and the winning combination group including “Watermelon A” and the winning combination group including “Watermelon B” may be notified in the same manner.

  In addition, since the notification mode of the notification display 60 is set to a mode in which notification is not performed (notification type “0”), attention is paid to the notification when the notification is performed on the notification display 60. Can do.

  In addition, the first 7-segment LED 60a of the notification display device 60 changes to a notification mode that suggests the next stop mode when the stop operation is performed, but the second 7-segment LED 60b is changed before and after the stop operation. The same notification is continued to notify the notification type. In this case, the first 7-segment LED 60a can grasp an appropriate operation order at that time, and the second 7-segment LED 60b can determine an appropriate operation order in the game (game) with some stop operations. Can be grasped even after.

  In addition, during AT, the winning group “Left middle right correct bell 1” to “Left middle right correct bell 4”, “Left middle right correct bell 1” — “Left right middle correct bell 4”, “Middle right right correct bell 1” — “Middle Left / Right Correct Bell 4”, “Middle Right / Left Correct Bell 1” to “Middle Right / Left Correct Bell 4”, “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 1” to “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 4”, “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 1” to “ In the case of internal winning for any of “right middle left correct answer bell 4”, the notification type related to notification of the advantageous pushing order of the winning group is determined as the notification mode, but the winning group “normal replay” is determined during the AT. ”Is internally won, and when it is determined that the number of games will be given during the AT period according to the correct push order determined in the lottery, a notification type in which the push order cannot be specified is determined as a notification mode, etc. , Because the type of notification mode varies depending on the type of winning role, It is possible to achieve the above.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which an advantageous push order at the time of simultaneous winning of a bonus combination and a predetermined small combination is notified, but for example, different types of combinations such as simultaneous combination combination of different types of small combination There may be a simultaneous winning combination, and an advantageous push order may be generated by the difference in the winning probability of either one depending on the push order.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, as the command of the lottery result that is transmitted from the main control board 63 to the sub-control board 73, the command that indicates the type of the role that constitutes the winning combination group that is internally won, and the notification type are indicated. The case where the commands are individually created has been described, but one command that clearly understands both of these types is created, and the winning combination group that is internally won is selected by the sub-control board 73 that has received the command. You may be comprised so that both the kind and the alerting | reporting type to comprise may be understood.

  Further, instead of the notification display 60, the credit display 45 may be controlled by the notification control means 106. In addition, a notification display 60 may also be used to control a payout display (not shown) for specifying the number of payouts due to winning. Note that the payout display only needs to be usable from the end of the third stop operation to the start of the game, and the notification may be performed from the start of the game to the third stop operation. It is preferable to control.

  Moreover, although the case where the notification effect controlled by the sub control board 73 is performed by the liquid crystal display 27 is described as an example, for example, the notification effect is displayed together with the upper lamp unit 33, the lower lamp units 37L and 37R, and the speakers 31L and 31R. You may make it perform.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the notification control unit 106 is controlled by the main control board 63 (main control unit) has been described.

  In each of the above embodiments, the slot machine 1 has been described as an example of the gaming machine of the present invention. However, the present invention is applied to a gaming machine called a parrot that is a combination of a slot machine and a pachinko machine. In addition, when the present invention is applied to such a gaming machine, a gaming ball (pachinko ball) as a gaming value may be employed. Further, the gaming machine of the present invention may be applied to a video game by executing a computer program. Further, the display means of the present invention may be configured by sequentially displaying a plurality of symbols on an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT. Further, the number of variable display columns may be two or more, and an optimal number of variable display columns may be appropriately configured according to the game mode.

  And a display unit having a plurality of variable display columns for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop operation unit for stopping the variable display of each of the variable display columns, and a pattern when all the variable display columns are stopped The present invention can be widely applied to gaming machines that give benefits to players according to combinations.

Also, by using a lottery value generated based on the start of the game, it is always the same expectation whether or not it is a special game allowable winning or not, as well as a bonus hand that determines whether or not the winning lottery means has won the same expected value. Since it can be determined by value, it can be expected whether it is a special game permissible winning as well as expecting whether or not it is a bonus combination winning for each game, and as a result, the player's interest is improved be able to. In addition, the lottery value used for the role lottery is commonly used to determine whether or not the special game allowance is won, while the right to play the special game according to the result of the role lottery on condition that the special game is allowed. Since the right grant determining means for granting a special game is provided, the player can enjoy a multi-stage lottery before the special game is performed, and the player can be improved in interest. In addition, while aiming to improve security by uniquely determining whether or not a special game allowance is won based on the lottery value used for the role lottery, how the right grant determination means grants the right according to the result of the role lottery Since it is possible to design freely what to do, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in designing special games.

Here, the winning probability in the lottery in general game is set in a plurality of stages which are distinguished by a plurality of types of set values (here six), each of the plurality of stages of set values, shown to auditors 4 A lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) is associated. When the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall where the slot machine 1 is installed can change the setting value.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, AT allowable combination in assigned uppermost role number of unique hexadecimal, respectively assigned higher role number unique hexadecimal each bonus combination, the general role (replay officers, small combination, BB1 roles) are assigned lower role number unique hexadecimal each. Then, the determination result storage unit 104 corresponds to the combination number assigned to the combination (including the case of losing) constituting the winning combination group that is the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 103 in the determination result storage area 652. Store in the data area.

That is, when the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the AT allowable combination shown in FIG. 10, the determination result storage means 104 is assigned to the winning AT allowable combination. The highest role number “01h” is stored in the 1-byte third data area of the determination result storage area 652. The determination result storage means 104 stores the highest-ranked role number “00h” assigned to the lost in the data area when the AT-acceptable role is lost (non-winning). Also, as the top officer numbers by after storing the "01h" as the top officer number ignores any new AT acceptable combination winning By maintaining this value, the termination condition or limiter condition is satisfied After storing “00h”, it is configured to allow AT acceptable winning.

If the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is one of the winning combination groups including the bonus winning combination shown in FIG. 10, the determination result storage means 104 stores the higher-rank winning combination assigned to the winning bonus winning combination. One of the numbers “01h” and “02h” is stored in the 1-byte first data area of the determination result storage area 652. Note that the determination result storage means 104 stores the upper combination number “00h” assigned to the loss in the data area when the bonus combination is lost (non-winning). Furthermore, after storing the "01h" or "02h" as the upper role numbers, by maintaining the value until the bonus combination is configured to carry over the bonus combination.

Also, in this embodiment, the advantageous RT (RT2) and bonus internal winning (RT3) are set to have a higher winning probability for the re-gamer, although the winning probability for the small role does not change compared to the normal RT (RT1). Has been. Further, in the advantageous RT, the winning combination groups “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” are subject to lottery, and during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the replaying player is the winning group “normal replay”. Only lottery is selected (see FIG. 25A). Here, assuming that the bonus combination is won during the ART game and the bonus internal is selected (RT3), before winning the bonus combination, the winning combination groups “falling replay 1” to “falling replay 3” Although a notification for avoiding a fall of the gaming state is made at the time of internal winning, the notification of avoidance is not given during the bonus internal winning (RT3). Then, the player may predict the bonus winning because the notification is not made at the time of replay winning before the bonus role winning notification effect. Further, if the avoidance notification is made during ART, the player expects that the possibility of winning the bonus combination is low, and in any case, the player's pleasure is reduced. Therefore, the notification mode determination means 107 of this embodiment is in a state in which the gaming state is in the bonus internal winning (RT3) AT, and before the bonus winning combination is announced, the winning lottery result is the winning combination. In the case of the group “normal replay”, i) notification of the pressing order is not performed, ii) information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right) is notified, iii) the pressing order (middle → left → right) Iv) One of four types of notification modes for notifying information that can specify the push order (right → left → middle) is determined by lottery (FIG. 25B). see), the determined notification manner determined to notification manner of informing display 60 (see notification type 14 "0or1or3or5"). The notification mode determined here is preferably the same notification mode as the avoidance notification.

-BAR-matched replay and fake play As shown in Fig. 22 (a), the winning group "BAR-matched replay" and "Fake play" that can be won only during the bonus game state (BB1) are both in the first stop. When the symbol “BAR” is aimed at the left reel 13L and the symbol “BAR” is aimed at the middle reel 13M at the second stop, the symbol “BAR” is tempered downward (diagonally), but at the final stop, the symbol “BAR”. When aiming at, it differs depending on whether the symbols “BAR” are aligned or not. In addition, when internal winning combination group "BAR suit Replay" in AT allowable state, regardless of whether or not in the eyes press the symbol "BAR" are aligned to the right edge, the predetermined number of games to AT period the number of game plus Is done. That is, it is a winning combination group in which the player's advantage does not change depending on the pressing order.

Therefore, in this embodiment, in the state of ART (advantageous RT (RT2) + AT), when the winning combination group “normal replay” is internally won, the push order for adding the number of games to be added by the right granting determination unit 100f Is determined, the notification display 60 cannot specify the push order in which the player can get an extra, but the notification type “9” suggests that the player can get an extra if the answer is correct in the six-choice push order. Is notified to the player (see FIG. 24B).

In addition, while the lottery value used for the role lottery is commonly used to determine whether or not the AT is allowed, the right to play an AT game in accordance with the result of the role lottery is provided on condition that the AT is allowed. Since the right granting determination means 100f is provided, the player can enjoy a multi-stage lottery before playing an AT game, and can improve the interest of the player. In addition, it is possible to improve the security by uniquely determining whether or not the AT permissible winning is made based on the lottery value used for the role lottery, while the right grant determining means 100f grants the right according to the result of the role lottery. Since it is possible to design freely what to do, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in designing AT games.

Moreover, although the case where the notification lottery result is notified by one notification display 60 has been described, as in the notification display 60, a notification display composed of two 7-segment LEDs is provided separately. single notification for display, used to inform the advantageous press order push forward the bell, the other notification for display, predetermined small Win ( "Cherry", "watermelon a", "watermelon B") May be used to indicate pushing order during winning and simultaneous wins. In this case, when notifying the same pushing order, the notification mode of both notification displays may be the same. At this time, such as around the informing indicator for pushing forward the bell (front plate 9) is decorated, press order informing indicator for bell, "cherry", "watermelon A," watermelon B "it may be configured to make it easier to recognize than informing indicator for the winning group, including," Cherry "," watermelon a ", for the winning group, including one of the" watermelon B " The notification display may be made smaller than the notification display for the push order bell. In this case, the result of the lottery that is notified by the smaller notification display is not related to the push order bell (winning role group) in which the advantageous operation order is notified to the player during AT or the like. It is possible to make the player recognize that this is the case.

In addition, during AT, the winning group “Left middle right correct bell 1” to “Left middle right correct bell 4”, “Left middle right correct bell 1” — “Left right middle correct bell 4”, “Middle right right correct bell 1” — “Middle Left / Right Correct Bell 4”, “Middle Right / Left Correct Bell 1” to “Middle Right / Left Correct Bell 4”, “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 1” to “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 4”, “Right / Left / Right Correct Bell 1” to “ In the case of internal winning for any of “right middle left correct answer bell 4”, the notification type related to notification of the advantageous pushing order of the winning group is determined as the notification mode, but the winning group “normal replay” is determined during the AT. internal winning of "and aT-life Ma遊 TECHNICAL number by pushing forward the correct answer determined in the lottery is a state that is determined to be applied, the press certain non notification type forward is determined notification manner Since the type of notification mode differs depending on the type of winning role, etc. It can be achieved.
