[Settings]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. More specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability according to a set value in an internal lottery to be described later, an AT (assist time) navigation stock lottery, or the like. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise. The set values may be set in three stages such as 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, H (High), and in seven stages 1 to 7, and need not be limited to six stages.

  In this embodiment, regardless of the set value, the winning probability of the internal lottery performed by the main control unit 41 is the same, and a navigation stock described later performed by the sub control unit 91 according to the set value. The medal payout rate is changed by using different winning probabilities as the winning probabilities for the lottery and the extra lottery, but at least one of the winning probabilities for the lottery performed by the main control unit 41 and the winning probabilities for the lottery performed by the sub-control unit 91 Alternatively, the medal payout rate may be changed by changing both winning probabilities according to the set value.

  In order to change the set value, first, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on with the front door 1b opened. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, a setting value read from a RAM (not shown) of the main control unit 41 is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24 and set by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Shifts to a setting change state (setting change mode) in which a value can be changed. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed. The setting value may not be changed unless the front door 1b is opened, thereby preventing unauthorized setting changes when the front door 1b is not opened. That is, the opening condition of the front door 1b, the operation of turning on the setting key switch 37, and the operation of the power switch 39 may be set as the start conditions of the setting change state. In this case, the set value change state may be maintained regardless of opening / closing of the front door 1b until the setting key switch 37 is turned off. That is, even when the opening of the front door 1b is set as the start condition of the setting change state, the opening / closing of the front door 1b may not be set as the end condition of the setting change state.

  Further, in order to confirm the set value, it is only necessary to open the front door 1b and set the setting key switch 37 to the ON state after the game is over and the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM is displayed on the setting value display 24 so that the setting value can be confirmed (setting confirmation mode). Transition. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by turning the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned. Similarly to the setting value change state, the setting value confirmation state prevents the setting value from being changed unless the front door 1b is opened, thereby preventing unauthorized setting confirmation when the front door 1b is not opened. May be. That is, the opening condition of the setting confirmation state may be the opening of the front door 1b and the operation for turning on the setting key switch 37. Further, even when the opening of the front door 1b is set as the start condition of the set value confirmation state, the opening / closing of the front door 1b may not be set as the end condition of the set value confirmation state.

  In the present embodiment, the player's game history can be inherited from one slot machine 1 in another slot machine 1. Specifically, the player selects “password input” from the main menu screen shown in FIG. 8A and inputs the password issued in advance by the management server 1200, thereby taking over the previous game history. It becomes possible to play a game. The main menu screen is displayed when the production switch 56 is operated during display of a normal screen (normal screen) from the end of the game (after setting change) until the bet amount is set or a demonstration screen. 51. On the main menu screen before entering the password or before starting the game by the simple start described later, as shown in FIG. 8 (A) and FIG. 8 (B), “easy start”, “password input”, “member registration”, The “stock coin hint” and “end” menu items are displayed, and the menu items are selected by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R and the effect switch 56. When “End” is selected as the menu item, an end confirmation screen shown in FIG. 8C is displayed, and when “YES” is selected, the screen returns to the basic screen (the normal screen before shifting to the main menu screen). It is like that.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the player selects “2D code creation” on the main menu screen after entering a password or after a simple start, the sub CPU 91a generates a 2D code. As shown in FIG. 9B, the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In the two-dimensional code displayed here, for example, in the case of a game for which a password is input, a URL (normal update URL) indicating the location of a normal update page on the management server 1200 and a password input at the start of the game And a game random number (32-bit random number in the present embodiment), which is a random value acquired every time a two-dimensional code is created, and information indicating game history update data and the like. The game history update data includes, for example, the total number of games, the total number of medals paid out, the number of BB (big bonus), the number of RB (regular bonus), the history of missions completed, the history of executed premier performances, the performance settings, etc. Each data is included.

  Then, the two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 1100 and the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code is accessed, so that the content specified from the two-dimensional code is stored in the player database included in the management server 1200. It is reflected in the contents. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, by inputting a password when starting a game, it becomes possible to reflect (take over) a past game history when a previous game was performed. It is possible to produce a continuous performance over a long period of time.

[About judgment of mission achievement]
The mission control process executed by the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment in the timer interrupt process based on the interrupt function described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, in the mission control process, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the mission is achieved based on the mission achievement determination table stored in the ROM 91c (step S101). Here, the mission achievement determination table is a table for determining mission achievement. In the present embodiment, in the mission achievement determination table, as shown in FIG. 11, “content” (achievement condition) and “allowable condition” for each mission with a mission number (“No.”) from 1 to 100 are shown. Are set respectively.

  Specifically, the mission of mission number 1 has “content” set as “3 bonus wins” and “allowable condition” set to “none”, and the mission of mission number 2 has “content” of “10000 games” “Allowable conditions” is set to “11 hours have passed since the first login / easy start”. In addition, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the permissible condition of the mission of mission number 2 with the achievement condition of “10000 game digest” is set to “11 hours have passed since the first login / easy start” Since the shortest period per game (the time from the start of reel rotation to the start of the next reel rotation after the third stop) is 4.1 seconds, 11 hours and 23 minutes ((4. 1 × 10000) / (60 × 60) = 11.3388 ([Time]) or more is necessary.

  In addition, the mission of mission number 3 is set to “contents saw timed effect A”, “allowable condition” is set to “10 days have passed since introduction”, and the mission of mission number 10 is “content” Is “I saw timed effect C”, “Allowable condition” is set to “30 days after introduction”, and the mission of mission number 100 has “Content” saw “Timed effect Z”, “Allowable condition” Is set to "300 days have passed since introduction". Therefore, the sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment determines whether or not there is a mission that has been achieved by determining whether or not there is a mission that satisfies the achievement condition (“content”).

  Returning to FIG. 10, when the mission is not achieved (step S101; N), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step S101, and when the mission is achieved (step S101; Y), the achieved mission is permitted. It is determined whether or not it is a specific mission with (conditions permitting mission achievement) (step S102). The specific mission of the present embodiment is a mission whose allowable condition is other than “none”, for example, missions with mission numbers 2, 3, 10, and 100. If the achieved mission is a specific mission (step S102; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether an allowable condition is satisfied (step S103). When the allowable condition is satisfied (step S103; Y), or when the accomplished mission is not the specific mission (step S102; N), the sub control unit 91 executes the mission achievement effect (step S104) The history (achievement mission history) is updated (step S105), and the process is terminated. Here, the mission achievement effect is an effect of notifying the player of the accomplished mission. In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. No. A mission achievement effect 501 is displayed in which a character image of “1 bonus 3 times winning” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Returning to FIG. 10, when the allowable condition is not satisfied (step S103; N), the sub-control unit 91 executes the gaming machine error notification process (step S106), and turns on the error notification flag (step S107). The process is terminated. Here, the gaming machine error notification process is a process of notifying a player or the like that an error has occurred in the gaming machine. In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 12 (B), an error notification effect 502 is displayed that displays on the liquid crystal display 51 a character image “Please call the hall staff where mission achievement is impossible at present”. Or the effect output LED 52 outputs an illumination indicating that it is abnormal, or the speakers 53 and 54 output a sound indicating that the mission has been completed in error. The error notification flag is a flag for notifying the management server 1200 that an error has occurred regarding mission completion, and is normally in an off state and is turned on when an error occurs. . Note that the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment generates a two-dimensional code including information that can identify an accomplished mission for which an allowable condition has not been satisfied, when generating a two-dimensional code with the error occurrence flag turned on. It is like that.

[About mission list display]
In this embodiment, the management server 1200 updates the achievement mission history for each player based on the two-dimensional code, and displays information for displaying a mission list (mission list display) based on the achievement mission history of all players. Information). Then, the management server 1200 outputs (transmits) the mission list display information to the mobile terminal 1100 in response to a request from the mobile terminal 1100. For this reason, the portable terminal 1100 can display a mission list display screen based on the received mission list display information. As shown in FIG. 12C, the mission list display screen 503 of the present embodiment displays “achievement” (whether or not achieved), “content” for each mission with a mission number (“No.”) from 1 to 100. ] (Achievement condition), “difficulty level”, and “achievement number”.

  For example, in the mission list display screen 503, the mission of mission number 1 has “Obtain” as “O”, “Content” as “Bonus 3 Wins”, “Difficulty” as “C”, and “Number of Achievements”. “9472” is displayed, the mission of mission number 2 has “achievement” as “◯”, “content” as “1000 games”, “difficulty” as “C”, and “achievement number” as “9369” Is displayed. The mission number 3 shows “achievement” as “○”, “content” as “watched time effect A”, “difficulty” as “C”, and “achievement number” as “1258 people”. . In the present embodiment, for the so-called unopened mission in which the allowable condition is not satisfied based on the date / time data acquired from the RTC 211 by the management server 1200, information with “content” set to “???” is output. It has become. For this reason, for example, in the mission of mission number 10, “achievement” is not displayed (not achieved), “content” is “???”, “difficulty” is “A”, and “achievement number” is “0”. "Miscellaneous" is also displayed for the mission number 100, "achievement" is not displayed, "content" is "???", "difficulty" is "SS", and "achievement number" is "0" Is displayed.

[About Friend Game History Notification]
In this embodiment, in response to a request from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 can register other players (friends) who exchange information regarding the game history for each player, so-called friend registration. When the achievement mission history is updated, information for friend game history notification (friend game history notification information) is generated for the player who registered the friend for the player who updated the achievement mission history. To do. Then, the management server 1200 outputs the friend game history notification information to the portable terminal 1100 of the target player. For this reason, the mobile terminal 1100 can display the friend game history notification screen based on the received friend game history notification information. As shown in FIG. 12 (D), the friend game history notification information screen 504 of the present embodiment is a screen on which an update date and time and a message that the friend has achieved the mission are displayed, and receives friend game history notification information. It is a screen whose display is updated (additionally displayed) in real time each time it is performed. For example, on the friend game history notification information screen 504, every time the friend game history notification information is received, “2016/1/30 15:24:35 Friend A has achieved the mission! No. 1 “Bonus 3 wins”…, “2016/2/7 20:36:41 Friend C has completed the mission! No. 3 “I saw timed production A” ”,“ 2016/2/8 14:09:22 Friend D completed the mission! No. 2 A character image such as “10000 game digest” is additionally displayed.

  As described above, according to the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 of the slot machine 1 updates the gaming history for the game from the password input or simple start to the two-dimensional code generation, and the management server 1200 updates the game history for each player based on the two-dimensional code. The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not each mission has been achieved based on the game history, and notifies the player of the mission achieved by the mission achievement effect 501. In addition, the management server 1200 outputs mission list display information and friend game history notification information to the mobile terminal 1100. For this reason, the player displays the mission list display screen 503 and the friend game history notification screen 504 on the mobile terminal 1100, thereby achieving the mission achievement status of the player himself / her friend and the achievement status of each player's mission. Can be confirmed.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an allowable condition is satisfied if the achieved mission is a specific mission, and executes the mission achievement effect 501 if the allowable condition is satisfied, Or update. Then, when the player finishes the game, the sub-control unit 91 generates a two-dimensional code including game history update data including information on the history of achievement missions that have been updated to the effect that the specific mission has been achieved. The achievement mission history in the game history database of the server 1200 is updated, and each player can display a mission list display screen and a friend game history notification screen on the mobile terminal 1100.

  Here, in the conventional gaming system, for example, an allowable condition due to a malfunction on the slot machine side (for example, a program bug, an RTC failure, etc.), that is, a condition that should have been satisfied at least as a premise for achieving the mission is satisfied. Despite not being done, even if the mission is completed, the mission achievement effect is executed. In addition to updating the achievement mission history on the slot machine side, the achievement mission history in the game history database of the management server is updated, and a mission list display screen and a friend game history notification screen are displayed based on the updated history. It will be displayed. For example, as shown in the mission list display screen 505 shown in FIG. 13A, the “number of achievements” is “0” even though “content” is displayed as “???” in an unreleased mission. Will be displayed. Specifically, the “achieved number” of mission numbers 10 and 100 are displayed as “10 people” and “1 person”, respectively. For example, as shown in the friend game history notification screen 506 shown in FIG. 13B, “201x / y / z a: b: c Friend S has completed the mission! No. A character image such as 100 “I saw timed effect Z” is displayed. As a result, there is a possibility that other players may have distrust in having a player who has achieved a mission that cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and the reliability of control of the slot machine and the gaming system may be impaired.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the mission achievement effect 501 or the achievement mission if the permissible conditions that are the prerequisites are not established even though the achievement of the specific mission is established. The history of is not updated.
By doing so, even if the achievement condition of the specific mission is satisfied due to malfunction on the slot machine 1 side or the like, if the allowable condition is not satisfied, the player is not notified that the specific mission has been achieved. Regardless of whether or not it is established, it is possible to reduce the player's distrust rather than a gaming system that can notify that a specific mission has been achieved.

Further, according to the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 determines the number of days since the introduction of the gaming system 1001 based on the date / time data acquired by the RTC 97, thereby executing the timed effects A to Z. It is possible. That is, the time effects A to Z are released based on the number of days since introduction. The specific missions include missions that are achieved by executing timed effects A to Z, such as missions 3, 10, and 100, and these allowable conditions include the number of days required after introduction. It is set in advance so as to be established as time elapses.
By doing in this way, the mission achievement effect 501 that the missions 3, 10, and 100, which are specific missions, have been achieved unless the required days have elapsed since the introduction and the timed effects A to Z are not executable. And the display of the mission list display screen 503 and the friend game history notification screen 504 can be prevented.

Further, according to the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed since the first password input or simple start based on the date / time data acquired by the RTC 97. Is possible. For example, there are missions that can be achieved by digesting 10,000 games, such as Mission 2, for example, and these permissible conditions include a predetermined period of time required after the initial password entry or simple start. It is set in advance so as to be established as time elapses.
By doing so, the mission achievement effect 501 that indicates that the mission 2 as a specific mission has been achieved if the required predetermined period has not elapsed since the first password entry or simple start, and the mission list display screen 503 and the friend game history notification screen 504 can be prevented from being displayed.

Further, according to the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the error notification effect 502 as an example of special control if the allowable condition is not satisfied even though the achievement of the specific mission is satisfied. An error notification process for a gaming machine to be executed is executed, or an error notification flag is turned on to notify the management server 1200 of an error.
By doing so, it is possible to deal with the occurrence of contradiction in which the achievement of the specific mission is established even though the allowable condition is not established, and the display of the mission list display screen 503 and the friend game history notification screen 504 can be prevented.

Further, according to the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, the portable terminal 1100 can display the mission list display screen 503 on which the “number of achievements” of each mission is displayed.
In this way, the player pays attention to the number of players who have completed each mission, and the game is more interesting than a game system that does not display or suggest the number of players who have completed each mission. Will improve.

In addition, according to the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 1100 can display the friend game history notification screen 504 that notifies the player that the mission has been achieved based on the history of the achievement mission of the friend. It is possible.
By doing so, the player pays attention to the achievement of the mission by the friend, and the interest of the game is improved over the game system that does not notify the player that the mission has been accomplished based on the history of the achievement mission of the friend To do.

  In the present embodiment, the release date of the time effects A to C, which are acceptable conditions for the missions such as mission numbers 3, 10, 100, etc., is stored in advance in the ROM 91c of the slot machine 1, but the time effects A to C The opening date may not be managed by the slot machine 1 side, for example, the management server 1200 side may manage it. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the information that can be specified from the password issued by the management server 1200 in response to a request from the portable terminal 1100 may include information on the open status of the time effects A to C. In this case, when the player inputs a password to the slot machine 1, the sub-control unit 91 can specify the opening date of the time effects A to C, and the RTC 97 acquires when the time effects A to Z are executed. It can be determined whether or not it is the opening date of the timed effects A to C based on the date data. As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, if the timed effect A is executed in the period between the introduction date and the release date, it is determined that the allowable condition is not satisfied from the open state of the timed effect A, and the error notification effect 502 can be executed, and if the timed effect A is executed in the period after the opening date, it is determined that the allowable condition is satisfied from the open state of the timed effect A, and the mission achievement effect 501 is executed or the game history is updated. can do.

[Embodiment 2]
In the first embodiment, whether or not the mission has been achieved is determined on the slot machine 1 side, but may be determined on the management server 1200 side. Hereinafter, a second embodiment in which the management server 1200 performs mission control processing will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those in the first embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from those in the first embodiment will be mainly described.

[About judgment of mission achievement]
A mission control process executed by the control unit 210 of the management server 1200 according to this embodiment after the power is turned on will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, in the mission control process, the control unit 210 determines whether or not a game history has been acquired by access from the mobile terminal 1100 (step S111), and the control unit 210 acquires the game history. If not (step S111; N), the process of step S111 is repeated to obtain a game history (step S111; Y), and based on a mission achievement determination table (see FIG. 11) stored in a ROM (not shown). It is then determined whether the mission has been achieved (step S101). If the mission is not achieved (step S101; N), the sub-control unit 91 returns to the process of step S111. If the mission is achieved (step S101; Y), whether or not the achieved mission is a specific mission. Is determined (step S102).

  If the achieved mission is a specific mission (step S102; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether an allowable condition is satisfied (step S103). When the allowable condition is satisfied (step S103; Y), or when the accomplished mission is not a specific mission (step S102; N), the sub-control unit 91 displays the game history (achievement mission history) of the corresponding player. Update (step S105), update the mission list display information (step S112), execute a friend game history notification process (step S113), and end the process. Here, the friend game history notification process is a process of generating friend game history notification information and transmitting it to a registered friend. On the other hand, when the allowable condition is not satisfied (step S103; N), the sub-control unit 91 executes a management error notification process (step S114), and ends the process. Here, the management error notification process is a process of notifying the administrator by outputting a log that an error has occurred in the gaming machine or displaying an error notification screen.

  As described above, according to the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, the control unit 210 of the management server 1200 determines whether the allowable condition is satisfied if the achieved mission is a specific mission, and the allowable condition is If established, the achievement mission history and the mission list display information are updated, or the friend game history notification information is output to the mobile terminal 1100. Therefore, the control unit 210 updates the history of achievement missions and mission list display information, or sends the friend game history notification information to the mobile terminal 1100 if the allowable conditions are not satisfied even though the achievement conditions of the specific mission are satisfied. Is not output.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the slot machine 1 reads a two-dimensional code output according to the player's operation at the end of the game with the portable terminal 1100 and then accesses the management server 1200 from the acquired URL. Based on the identifiable game history (achievement mission history), the control unit 210 can specify that the time effects A to Z have been executed, and release the time effects A to C based on the date and time data acquired by the RTC 211. Determine if it is the day. As a result, if the timed effect A is being executed in the period between the introduction date and the opening date, it is determined that the opening date of the timed effect A is not reached and the allowable condition is not satisfied, and an error is notified to the administrator. Information (log etc.) can be output, etc. If the timed effect A is executed in the period after the opening date, it is determined that the timed effect A is the opening date and the allowable conditions are satisfied, and the history of missions achieved Update mission list display information and output friend game history notification information.

By doing so, even if the achievement condition of the specific mission is satisfied due to malfunction on the slot machine 1 side or the like, if the allowable condition is not satisfied, the player is not notified that the specific mission has been achieved. Regardless of whether or not it is established, it is possible to reduce the player's distrust rather than a gaming system that can notify that a specific mission has been achieved.
In addition, even if the achievement condition for a specific mission is satisfied due to a management error of the game history such as a game history such as a test at the development stage or prior confirmation before formal introduction remains in the management server 1200, an allowable condition is satisfied. If not, the achievement mission history and mission list display information will not be updated, or the friend game history notification information will not be output, and the player will not be notified that the specific mission has been achieved. Can be reduced.

[Embodiment 3]
In the first and second embodiments, the main menu screen is displayed when the effect switch 56 is operated when the main menu screen can be displayed from the end of the game to the start of the next game. A menu display operation reception notification that is a notification that a menu display operation for displaying the main menu screen can be received when the screen can be displayed may be performed. Hereinafter, a third exemplary embodiment in which the menu display operation reception notification is performed will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those in the first embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from those in the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the present embodiment, as a screen operation switch, a left switch 201 for moving a main menu screen item to the left, a determination switch 202 for determining the selected item, and a right switch for moving the item to the right 203 (see FIG. 19A and the like).

[About menu display promotion notification]
The menu display promotion notification process executed by the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment in the timer interrupt process will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, in the menu display promotion notification process, the sub-control unit 91 first determines whether or not the game is in progress (step Se1). When the game is in progress (step Se1; Y), the sub-control unit 91 terminates the processing. When the game is not in progress (step Se1; N), that is, when the game is between the end of the game and the bet amount setting, It is determined whether or not a simple start has been performed (step Se2).

  When the password input or the simple start is performed (step Se2; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not 5 seconds have elapsed from the end of the game (step Se3). When 5 seconds have elapsed (step Se3; Y), the sub-control unit 91 performs menu display operation acceptance notification in the first notification mode (step Se4), and when 5 seconds have not elapsed (step Se3; N) The process is terminated. On the other hand, when the password is not input or the simple start is not performed (step Se2; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether one second has elapsed from the end of the game (step Se5). When one second has elapsed (step Se5; Y), the sub-control unit 91 performs menu display operation reception notification in the second notification mode (step Se6), and when one second has not elapsed (step Se5; N) The process is terminated. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B, as the menu display operation reception notification, for example, the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed as “menu display by chance button operation”. A prompt message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. At this time, the notification in the second notification mode is such that a message with a larger character is displayed than in the notification in the first notification mode.

[Main menu screen in normal mode]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19B, the main menu screen (menu top screen) when the password input or the easy start is not performed is “game description”, “user mode”, “ Menu items “member registration” and “return” are displayed. When “user mode” is selected as a menu item, menu items “easy start”, “password”, and “return” are displayed as shown in FIG. When “Return” is selected, the screen returns to the demo screen.

  In the present embodiment, the main menu screen is displayed when the determination switch 202 is operated during a period from the end of the game until the bet amount is set (a period during which a demo screen or a normal screen other than the demo screen is displayed). As shown in FIG. 19A, the demonstration screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses from the stop timing at which all reels are stopped. (For example, a screen on which a character image of “Demo” is displayed). Further, as shown in FIGS. 19A to 19D, the sub-control unit 91 does not determine the “user mode” even if only the determination switch 202 is operated continuously (for example, repeated operation) a plurality of times. Execute screen display control.

  For example, when the determination switch 202 is operated during the demonstration screen display, the main menu screen is displayed (see FIGS. 19A and 19B). At this time, when the determination switch 202 is operated again, the determination switch 202 is operated in a state where “game description” is selected, and a description of the game of the slot machine 1 is displayed (FIG. 19B). ), FIG. 19 (C)). When the determination switch 202 is further operated, “return” is selected, and the display returns to the main menu screen (see FIGS. 19C and 19B). In other words, if the decision switch 202 is operated repeatedly when the demonstration screen is displayed, after the transition from the demonstration screen to the main menu screen, the loop of the main menu screen and the game explanation screen is repeated, and only the decision switch 202 is operated. Even so, the “user mode” is not determined. In order to determine “user mode”, it is necessary to operate the determination switch 202 after selecting “user mode” by operating the left switch 201 on the main menu screen. In addition, operation of other buttons (operation of the left switch 201) is also required. In order to play a game in the user mode (specific mode, specific effect mode, specific control) after password entry or simple start, select and determine “password” on the user mode screen shown in FIG. You need to enter your password or select and confirm “Easy Start”.

[Main menu screen in user mode]
In the present embodiment, the main menu screen after password entry and simple start has menu items of “game history”, “user mode”, and “return” as shown in FIG. It is displayed. When “user mode” is selected as the menu item, menu items “end user mode” and “return” are displayed as shown in FIG. 19H, and “return” is displayed. When is selected, it will return to the demo screen.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 19E to 19H, the sub-control unit 91 executes screen display control so that the user mode is not terminated even if only the decision switch 202 is operated repeatedly.
For example, when the determination switch 202 is operated when the demonstration screen is displayed, the main menu screen is displayed (see FIGS. 19E and 19F), and when the determination switch 202 is operated again, “game history” is selected. In this state, the determination switch 202 is operated, and a game history screen is displayed (see FIGS. 19F and 19G). When the determination switch 202 is further operated, “return” is selected, and the display returns to the main menu screen (see FIGS. 19G and 19F). That is, if the decision switch 202 is repeatedly operated during the demonstration screen display, after the transition from the demonstration screen to the main menu screen, the loop between the main menu screen and the game history screen is repeated, and only the decision switch 202 is operated. Even so, the “user mode” is not determined. In order to determine “user mode”, it is necessary to operate the determination switch 202 after selecting “user mode” by operating the left switch 201 on the main menu screen. In addition, operation of other buttons (operation of the left switch 201) is also required. In order to end the game in the user mode, it is necessary to select and determine “end user mode” on the screen shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the timing of receiving the menu display operation reception notification (after 5 seconds from the end of the game) in the game after the password input or the simple start is after the password input or the simple start. The timing is later than the timing of notifying the menu display operation reception notification (1 second after the end of the game) in a game where there is no game. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the annoyance felt by the player while promoting the input of a password and setting of specific control after a simple start. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B, the timing for starting the reception of the menu display operation is set at the end of the game. For example, it may be when the menu display operation reception is notified.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 does not start the user mode only by operating the decision switch 202 as shown in FIGS. 19 (A) to 19 (D). ing. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the user mode from being started as much as possible regardless of the player's intention.
In particular, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19 (A) and 19 (B), the sub-control unit 91 displays “game” when the decision switch 202 is operated during the demonstration screen display. Since the main menu screen is displayed in a state where “Description” is selected, “Game description” is determined even if the determination switch 202 is operated again. In this way, the user mode does not start even if the player operates the determination switch 202 repeatedly.
Furthermore, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19 (A) to 19 (C), the sub-control unit 91 performs main operation only when the decision switch 202 is operated during display of the demonstration screen. The menu screen and the game explanation screen are looped. In this way, it can be impressed that the user mode is not started only by operating the decision switch 202.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 does not end the user mode under control only by operating the decision switch 202. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the user mode from being terminated as much as possible regardless of the player's intention.
In particular, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19E and 19F, the sub-control unit 91 operates the determination switch 202 while the demo screen is displayed in the user mode. Then, since the main menu screen is displayed in a state where “game history” is selected, “game history” is determined even if the determination switch 202 is operated again. By doing in this way, even if the player operates the determination switch 202 repeatedly, the user mode is not ended, and it is possible to prevent the user mode from being ended as much as possible regardless of the player's intention.
Then, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19E to 19G, the sub-control unit 91 operates the main menu screen only when the decision switch 202 is operated during the display of the demonstration screen. And the game history screen are looped. In this way, it can be impressed that the user mode is not ended only by operating the determination switch 202.

[Embodiment 4]
In the first to third embodiments, a transition condition for transition to the demo screen or transition to the main menu screen may be provided. Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment in which a transition condition for a demo screen or a main menu screen is provided will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those in the first embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from those in the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the present embodiment, any one of a plurality of effects including an effect (suggested effect) suggesting the possibility of winning an ART (assist replay time) lottery and a continuous effect encouraging ART winning is selected and executed. Further, in the present embodiment, when the third stop operation is performed and the display result is derived in the final game of the continuous effect, it becomes the operation reception period of the effect switch 56, the operation promotion notification is executed, and during the operation reception period When the effect switch 56 is operated, the suggestion effect is executed. Then, when the ART lottery is won, the proportion of the effects indicating that there is a high possibility of winning the ART lottery is higher than when the ART lottery is not won.

[Demo screen transition]
A demonstration transition process executed by the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment in the timer interrupt process will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in the demo transition process, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a third stop operation has been performed based on the command (step Sc1). When the third stop operation is not performed (step Sc1; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process, and when the third stop operation is performed (step Sc1; Y), the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed. It is determined whether or not it is a reception period (operation reception period after the end of the last game of continuous production) (step Sc2). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the operation reception period is in effect (step Sc2; Y), and determines whether it is after the end of the game during the continuous production when it is not the operation reception period (step Sc2; N) ( Step Sc3). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the game is in the middle of the continuous production (step Sc3; Y), and does not end the game in the middle of the continuous production (step Sc3; N), from the third stop operation. It is determined whether or not 1 minute has passed in the no-operation state (step Sc4). When one minute has passed (step Sc4; Y), the sub-control unit 91 executes a demo transition process for shifting to the demo screen and ends the process (step Sc6). When one minute has not elapsed (step Sc6) Sc4; N), it is determined whether or not one minute has passed since the operation of the effect switch 56 during the operation acceptance period (step Sc5). If one minute has not elapsed (step Sc5; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process. If one minute has elapsed (step Sc5; Y), the sub-control unit 91 executes a demo transition process and ends the process. (Step Sc6).

[About the transition of the main menu screen]
Next, a menu operation acceptance process executed by the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment in the timer interrupt process will be described. As shown in FIG. 21, in the menu operation acceptance process, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a third stop operation has been performed based on the command (step Sh1).
When the third stop operation is not performed (step Sh1; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process, and when the third stop operation is performed (step Sh1; Y), the operation of the effect switch 56 is performed. It is determined whether or not it is a reception period (step Sh2). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the operation reception period is in effect (step Sh2; Y), and determines whether it is after the end of the game during the continuous production when it is not the operation reception period (step Sh2; N) ( Step Sh3). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when the game is in the middle of the continuous production (step Sh3; Y), and does not end the game in the middle of the continuous production (step Sh3; N), from the third stop operation. It is determined whether 30 seconds have passed in the no-operation state (Sh4). When 30 seconds have elapsed (step Sh4; Y), the sub-control unit 91 executes menu operation acceptance processing and ends the processing (step Sh6). When 30 seconds have not elapsed (step Sh4; N) In step S5, it is determined whether or not 30 seconds have elapsed since the operation of the effect switch 56 during the operation reception period. If 30 seconds have not elapsed (step Sh5; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process. If 30 seconds have elapsed (step Sh5; Y), the sub control unit 91 executes the menu operation reception process and ends the process. (Step Sh6).

[Suggested production execution process]
Next, the suggestion effect execution process executed by the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment in the timer interrupt process will be described. As shown in FIG. 22, in the suggestion effect execution process, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not it is during the operation reception period (step Sb1). If it is not during the operation reception period (step Sb1; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process. If it is during the operation reception period (step Sb1; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the effect switch 56 has been operated. (Step Sb2). When the effect switch 56 is operated (step Sb2; Y), the sub control unit 91 executes the suggestion effect (step Sb3). On the other hand, when the effect switch is not operated (step Sb2; N), the sub control unit 91 determines whether the MAXBET switch 6 is operated (step Sb5). When the MAXBET switch 6 has not been operated (step Sb5; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process, and when the MAXBET switch 6 has been operated (step Sb5; Y), the command received from the main control unit 41 Based on this, it is determined whether or not the ART lottery is won (step Sb6). When the ART lottery is not won (step Sb6; N), the effect cancellation process for stopping the execution of the suggestive effect is executed and the process is terminated (step Sb8). When the ART lottery is won (step Sb6; Y) The suggestion effect (ART confirmation notification effect) indicating that the possibility of winning the ART lottery is 100% is executed, and the process is terminated (step Sb7).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 23A and 23B, when the third stop operation is performed and the display result is derived in the final game of the continuous performance, the operation reception period is set, and the operation is promoted. Announcement is executed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 23 (A), during the operation acceptance period, even if 1 minute elapses from the third stop operation in the operation related to the progress of the game and the menu operation in the non-operation state, the demo state is not entered. . If the effect switch 56 is operated during the operation reception period, the suggestion effect is executed. When one minute elapses from the operation of the effect switch 56 and the operation related to the progress of the game and the menu operation without operation, a transition is made to the demo state.
It is also possible to configure so as not to enter the demo state when a notification that the ART lottery has been won is given by the suggestion effect. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the determination of whether or not it has been confirmed that the ART lottery has been won by making a transition to the demo state, and the player can be surely recognized that the ART lottery has been won. Moreover, you may make it transfer to a demo state not only when 1 minute has passed since the operation switch 56 was operated but when 1 minute passed since the suggestion effect was performed.

Further, in this case, as shown in FIG. 23B, the time from the passage of the third stop operation until the transition to the menu operation state after 5 seconds starts is counted, and during the operation reception period, the count starts. The menu operation acceptance state is not shifted even if 30 seconds elapse. If the effect switch 56 is operated during the operation reception period, the suggestion effect is executed. When 30 seconds elapses from the operation of the effect switch 56 without the operation related to the progress of the game, the state shifts to the menu operation acceptance state.
In addition, you may make it transfer to a demo state not only when 30 seconds have passed since the operation switch 56 was operated, but when 30 seconds passed since the suggestion effect was performed.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the demo state is not entered during the operation reception period of the effect switch 56. Therefore, the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted without shifting to the demo state during the operation acceptance period.
By doing in this way, it can prevent that the control which gives a misunderstanding to a player is performed.

Also, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the menu operation acceptance state is not changed during the operation acceptance period of the effect switch 56. Therefore, the operation of the effect switch 56 is accepted without shifting to the demo state during the operation acceptance period.
By doing in this way, it can prevent that the control which gives a misunderstanding to a player is performed.

[Embodiment 5]
In the first to third embodiments, the sub control unit 91 may execute an effect of controlling the movable means (movable accessory). Hereinafter, a fifth embodiment for controlling the movable means will be described.
In the present embodiment, detailed description of the parts having the same configuration and processing as those in the first embodiment will be omitted, and parts different from those in the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect control board 90 has movable means 901 to 903 and light emission notification means 951 driven by the sub-control unit 91 through control to a movable means drive circuit (not shown). 953 is further connected. A player side setting switch 70 is provided below the effect switch 56.

[Operation check of movable means]
Next, the operation confirmation of the movable means 901 to 903 will be described. As shown in FIG. 25, the movable means 901 to 903 are members that are movable during production or the like. The movable means 901 to 903 move between the initial positions 911 to 913 and the movable positions 921 to 923, respectively.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 operates as a confirmation operation control unit, and confirms the operation of the movable units 901 to 903 under a predetermined condition. Note that the predetermined condition is when, for example, when the slot machine 1 is turned on or when an operation error of the movable means 901 to 903 is detected, the operation or initial position of the movable means 1901 to 1903 is to be confirmed. is there. Specifically, the sub control unit 91 moves the movable units 901 to 903 to the movable positions 921 to 923 (FIGS. 25A to 25C). In the example shown in FIGS. 25A to 25C, the movable means 901 to 903 before the operation check are present at the initial positions 911 to 913 (see FIG. 25A), but are present. Even if not, the movable means 901 to 903 are moved to the movable positions 921 to 923 (see FIG. 25C). Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 moves the movable units 901 to 903 from the movable positions 921 to 923 to the initial positions 911 to 913 (see FIGS. 25C to 25E). By performing the operation confirmation in this way, the movable means 901 to 903 can be moved to the initial positions 911 to 913 after the operation confirmation. In addition, for example, by detecting the operation of the movable units 901 to 903 in the operation confirmation with, for example, a sensor (not shown), it is possible to confirm whether or not the movable units 901 to 903 operate normally.

In this embodiment, since the movable units 901 to 903 are actually moved by the operation confirmation, it takes time to complete the operation confirmation. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the effect control board 90 is initially set in parallel with the operation confirmation of the movable units 901 to 903.
As a result, even if the movable means 901 to 903 are moving during the confirmation operation execution period, after the initial setting is completed, the operation of the player side setting switch 70 is accepted, and the processing based on the accepted operation is performed. This can be performed by the controller 91. However, it is troublesome if a process associated with the operation of the player side setting switch or the like is performed during the operation of the movable means 901 to 903 during the confirmation operation execution period. For this reason, in this embodiment, the troublesomeness is reduced by not accepting the operation of the player side setting switch 70 during the confirmation operation execution period. Further, the player side setting switch 70 of the present embodiment can be turned on and off, and during the confirmation operation execution period, the player side setting switch 70 is turned off to make it difficult for the player to operate and reduce annoyance.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26 (A), the confirmation operation execution period of the movable means 901 to 903 is from the power-on to the time t1, and the input acceptance of the player-side setting switch 70 is prohibited and the power-off period is If it is from time t1 to time t2 and the input acceptance of the player side setting switch 70 is permitted and the lighting period is set to the period after time t2, the time after power on is greater than the period from power on to time t1. From the time t2 to the time t2. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player side setting switch 70 from being accepted during the confirmation operation execution period. In addition, for example, as shown in FIG. 26B, when the operation of the movable means 901 to 903 is defective and the confirmation operation execution period is longer than normal, the confirmation operation execution period is set to the time after the power is turned on. In the case of t3, the period during which the input of the player side setting switch 70 is prohibited and the light is turned off is set to time t4 after turning on the power, and the time after turning on the power is more than the time from turning on the power to time t3. The period up to t4 is lengthened. In this way, even when the confirmation operation execution period is longer than normal, it is possible to prevent the player side setting switch 70 from being accepted.

Note that the relationship between the time t1 (t3) and the time t2 (t4) is that the period from the power-on to the time t2 (t4) is longer than the period from the power-on to the time t1 (t3). Such a relationship may be used. That is, any period may be used as long as the input acceptance of the player side setting switch 70 is prohibited until the confirmation operation execution period of the movable units 901 to 903 is completed. Further, it may be a period for turning off the player side setting switch 70 until the confirmation operation execution period of the movable units 901 to 903 is completed.
In the present embodiment, the movable units 901 to 903 are simultaneously operated during the confirmation operation execution period. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the movable units 901 to 903 are individually moved during the confirmation operation execution period. May be. Moreover, the timing of the operation confirmation of the plurality of movable units 901 to 903 may overlap. For example, confirmation of the operation of the movable unit 902 or the movable unit 903 may be started while the operation of the movable unit 901 is being confirmed. In this case, after completion of the operation check, it may be a period during which the input of the player side setting switch 70 is permitted and is lit.

[Volume and light intensity setting screen]
As shown in FIG. 27, in the present embodiment, when the player operates the player side setting switch 70, a setting screen for adjusting the volume and the amount of light is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In the setting screen, the numbers “2” to “14” corresponding to the volume level (second volume level) that can be set by the player (the higher the number, the higher the volume) are displayed in the volume setting area 52a. The This is also called volume display. Furthermore, among the numbers “2” to “14”, the number corresponding to the currently set volume is highlighted (flashing display, display for changing the color of the selected item, etc.). The player can change the second volume level by moving the highlight by performing a predetermined change operation. For example, the player can move the highlight to the right by operating the stop switch 8R to increase the second volume level, and can move the highlight to the left by operating the stop switch 8L to decrease the second volume level. be able to.

  On the setting screen, in the light amount setting area 52b, the numbers “50%”, “75%”, and “100%” corresponding to the light amount steps that can be set by the player (second light amount step) Is displayed). This is also called light quantity display. Further, among the numbers “50%”, “75%”, and “100%”, the number corresponding to the currently set light amount is highlighted (flashing display, display for changing the color of the selected item, etc.). The The player can change the second light quantity step by moving the highlight by performing a predetermined change operation. For example, the player can move the highlighting to the right by operating the stop switch 8R to increase the second light quantity level, and can move the highlighting to the left by operating the stop switch 8L to decrease the second light quantity level. be able to. Note that switching between the second volume level and the second light quantity level can be performed by operating the stop switch 1008C.

Further, on the setting screen, a battle effect screen of the teammate character and the enemy character, which is a part of the effect screen that is actually used during the game, is displayed in the character effect area 52c. In the present embodiment, the player can set the volume and the amount of light using this battle effect as a sample. Specifically, if the player increases the second volume level, the volume of the ally character's voice (in the example of FIG. 27, the voice of “Did you come!”) Increases, and the player can decrease the second volume level. As a result, the sound volume of the ally character is reduced. Also, if the player increases the second light intensity step, the light amount on the battle effect screen increases and becomes brighter, and if the player decreases the second light amount step, the light amount on the battle effect screen decreases and darkens.
In this way, since the actual volume during play and the amount of light can be set by taking the actual play during the game as an example, the player can easily make the settings.

[On / off of player setting switch]
Next, the player side setting switch lighting process executed by the sub-control unit 91 of the present embodiment in the timer interrupt process will be described. As shown in FIG. 28, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not a game is in progress (step S1201). When the game is not in progress (step S1201; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the confirmation operation of the movable units 901 to 903 is in progress (step S1202). When it is determined that it is not during the confirmation operation execution period (step S1202; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the player side setting switch 70 is turned off (step S1203). If the sub-control unit 91 is not extinguished (step S1203; N), the process ends. If the sub-control unit 91 is extinguished (step S1203; Y), the player-side setting switch 70 is lit (step S1204), and the process is performed. finish. On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is in progress (step S1201; Y) or when it is determined that the confirmation operation is being performed (step S1202; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines that the player side setting switch 70 is It is determined whether or not it is lit (step S1205). If the sub-control unit 91 determines that it is not lit (step S1205; N), it ends the process, and if it is determined that it is lit (step S1205; Y), turns off the player side setting switch 1070. (Step S1206), the process ends.

  By the player side setting switch lighting process described above, the sub-control unit 91 can turn off the player side setting switch 70 during the confirmation operation execution period. This makes it difficult for the player to operate the player-side setting switch 70 during the confirmation operation execution period. Therefore, it becomes difficult to perform processing associated with the operation of the player-side setting switch 70 during the confirmation operation execution period, and the troublesomeness during the confirmation operation execution period can be reduced. Further, the sub-control unit 91 can turn off the player side setting switch 70 during the game. Thereby, it is possible to notify the player that the operation of the player side setting switch 70 is invalid during the game, and it is possible to prevent an invalid operation by the player during the game.

In the player-side effect setting process described above, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the player-side setting switch 70 during the confirmation operation execution period, but until the initial setting of the effect control board 90 is completed, The setting switch 70 may be turned off to reduce the display of the setting screen in a state in which the effect display is not normally performed because it is difficult for the player to operate.
Further, the sub-control unit 91 turns off the player side setting switch 1070 until the confirmation operation execution period and the initial setting are completed, and the player operates when the confirmation operation execution period and the effect control board 1090 are initially set. The side setting switch 70 may be difficult to be operated by the player.

[About player side effect setting processing]
Next, the player side effect setting process executed by the sub control unit 91 of the present embodiment in the timer interrupt process will be described. As shown in FIG. 29, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the player side setting switch 70 is operated (step S1151). If the player-side setting switch 70 is not operated (step S1151; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the process, and if it is operated (step S1151; Y), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the game is in progress. (Step S1152). If the sub-control unit 91 is in the game (step S1152; Y), the process ends, and if it is not in the game (step S1152; N), whether or not the confirmation operation of the movable means 901 to 903 is in progress. Is determined (step S1153). The sub-control unit 91 ends the process when it is during the movable unit confirmation operation execution period (step S1153; Y), and when it is not during the movable unit confirmation operation execution period (step S1153; N), the door opening detection switch 25. Is determined to be ON or not (step S1154).

  When the door opening detection switch 25 is in the OFF state, that is, when the front door 1b is open (step S1154; N), the sub-control unit 91 ends the processing, and the door opening detection switch 25 is in the ON state, that is, the front door 1b. Is closed (step S1154; Y), it is determined whether the channel setting of a store-side setting switch (not shown) is within the range of “A” to “F” (step S1155). When the channel setting is within the range of “A” to “F” (step S1155; Y), the sub-control unit 91 limits (prohibits) the setting of the second volume level and the second light quantity level by the player. The process is terminated. In this case, the volume and the light quantity are set based on the channel setting of the store side setting switch (that is, the first volume stage and the first light quantity stage).

On the other hand, when the channel setting is not within the range of “A” to “F” (step S1155; N), the sub control unit 91 displays a setting screen and performs initial display according to the channel setting (step S1156). ). In the present embodiment, the setting screen is displayed by operating the player side setting switch 70 when the front door 1b is closed. Thereafter, the setting screen is continuously displayed even after the front door 1b is opened. After the front door 1b is closed, the setting screen before opening is continuously displayed. That is, once the setting screen is displayed, the setting screen continues to be displayed even when the front door 1b is opened.
After the setting screen is displayed, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the volume or the amount of light has been changed based on the changing operation using the player's stop switch (step S1157). If the volume or the amount of light is not changed within a predetermined period (step S1157; N), the sub-control unit 91 proceeds to step S1162, and if changed (step S1157; Y), the channel setting is “A” to “A”. It is determined whether it is within the range of “F” (step S1158). When the channel setting is within the range of “A” to “F” (step S1158; Y), the sub-control unit 91 limits (prohibits) the setting of the second volume level and the second light quantity level by the player. Then, the process proceeds to step S1162.

  On the other hand, if the channel setting is not within the range of “A” to “F” (step S1158; N), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the changed target is a volume (step S1159). When the changed target is a light amount (step S1159; N), the sub-control unit 91 sets the light amount in the effect according to the reference setting based on the channel setting and the light amount setting selected by the player. (Step S1161), and the process proceeds to step S1162. In the light quantity setting area 52b of FIG. 27, the highlighting moves based on the selected light quantity, and in the character effect area 52c, the light quantity of the battle effect screen changes based on the selected light quantity. On the other hand, when the changed target is the volume (step S1159; Y), the sub-control unit 91 executes a predetermined volume change operation process (step S1160), and proceeds to step S1162.

  Thereafter, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an end operation has been performed (step S1162). In the present embodiment, the end operation is performed by long-pressing the player side setting switch 70. If the end operation is not performed within the predetermined period (step S1162; N), the sub-control unit 91 returns to step S1157, and if the end operation is performed (step S1162; Y), the display of the setting screen is ended (step S1163). ), The process is terminated. When the player-side effect setting process ends, the sound volume set based on the first sound volume stage and the second sound volume stage and the light intensity set based on the first light intensity stage and the second light intensity stage are reflected in the effect. The

By the player side effect setting process described above, the sub-control unit 91 can prohibit the input reception of the player side setting switch 70 during the confirmation operation execution period. Thereby, in the confirmation operation execution period, the process accompanying operation of the player side setting switch 70 is not performed, and the troublesomeness in the confirmation operation execution period can be reduced.
Further, the player-side effect setting process described above allows the sub-control unit 91 to prohibit input acceptance of the player-side setting switch 70 during the game. Thereby, during a game, the process accompanying operation of the player side setting switch 70 is no longer performed, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

In the player side production setting process described above, the sub-control unit 91 prohibits the input of the player side setting switch 70 during the confirmation operation execution period, but the player side setting switch until the initial setting is completed. It may be possible to prevent the setting screen from being displayed in a state in which the display of the display of the 70 is prohibited and the effect display displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is not normally performed.
In addition, the sub-control unit 91 prohibits input acceptance of the player side setting switch 70 until both the confirmation operation execution period and the initial setting are completed, thereby reducing annoyance during the confirmation operation execution period and a liquid crystal display The display of the setting screen may be prevented in a state where the effect display displayed by 51 is not normally performed.
