Description

  The present invention uses a game medium such as a medal, a coin, a game ball, etc., to stop a spinning cylinder such as a reel or a belt, and can give a privilege game such as AT or ART as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. The present invention relates to a game machine such as a spinning cylinder type game machine.

  A spinning machine called a slot machine is triggered by the operation of starting the rotation of the spinning cylinder when the game media (hereinafter described in the case of medals) required for a single spinning game is inserted or set. When a lottery for a combination (hereinafter referred to as an internal lottery) is performed, a game result can be displayed using a combination of symbols arranged in the reel based on the result of the internal lottery, and when a combination wins It has a function of paying out a predetermined number of award medals (game value).

  In a general spinning-type game machine, a special game (bonus game) in which a large number of medals can be acquired in a short time in addition to a general combination (also referred to as a small role) in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out upon winning a prize. It has a function to generate. Apart from special games, there is a gaming machine that gives a gaming state advantageous to the player as a gaming privilege. For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, the winning probability of replay (which is also called a re-playing in a role that does not require the insertion of a medal in the next game with winning) while maintaining the winning probability of various combinations. There is known a gaming machine that gives a replay time game (hereinafter referred to as RT game) having a high value as a gaming privilege. In addition, a gaming machine that gives a special game called AT (assist time) game, which makes it easy to win a game by guiding and informing (navigating) the type of the winning small role and the stop operation order, has appeared as a gaming privilege ( For example, see Patent Document 2). Furthermore, gaming machines equipped with an ART (assist replay time) game in which an RT game is used in combination with an RT game have also appeared (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  Conventionally, whether or not a bonus game is successful is determined by an internal lottery, while award games such as RT, AT, and ART games are generally granted by, for example, a lottery when a specific small role is won. Or, the bonus lottery was executed during the bonus game. In the case of Patent Document 3, the game shifts to an ART game after the end of the big bonus game. For example, the advantageous state of the privilege game given based on such determination is given as a period of a certain number of games as the effective game period of the advantageous state.

  By the way, in a pachinko gaming machine, for example, as shown in Patent Document 4, a big hit lottery is performed when a game ball enters the start port (start condition is established), and the symbol changes according to the lottery result. However, if a ball enters the starting port during a change, a hold ball display notification is made to indicate that there is a hold ball that is not permitted to change symbols (a random number value that is held). It has been broken.

On the other hand, in a spinning-type game machine, since an internal lottery is performed at the time of starting the spinning cylinder, another internal lottery is not performed during the rotation of the spinning cylinder, so there is a holding ball display function like a pachinko game machine. Not done. In the case of a revolving game machine, for example, a special revolving symbol combination (so-called reach eyes or chance eyes) that cannot be established at the time of winning a bonus game can be displayed to notify the possibility of winning a bonus game. Has been done.

When giving an advantageous state of bonus games or bonus games, the special round symbol combination display only for reach eyes or chances will only provide short-term notifications, and the effect of sustaining expectation over a long period of time is weak. As in the case of the reserved ball display, it is preferable to have a notification function in which a sense of expectation for obtaining an advantageous state is sustained for several games or more.
However, the on-hold ball display function in pachinko machines has a one-to-one correspondence with the start condition being established, and the start ball condition is always displayed when the start condition is satisfied during symbol fluctuations. The current situation is that the on-hold ball display is overlooked while visually recognizing the symbol variation, and the player has not paid much attention to the on-hold ball display situation. Therefore, in view of the current situation related to pachinko gaming machines, there has been a problem in the spinning-type gaming machine that a sense of expectation can be sustained over a long-term game and a notification mode that contributes to an increase in gaming entertainment is realized. .

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can enhance the sense of expectation up to the provision of an advantageous state and improve the gaming interest.

An outline of the operation at the time of gaming in the above-configured rotating game machine A will be described.
FIG. 8 shows the process for starting the spinning game in the spinning machine A. First, when playing a game, the player sets a BET by pressing the MAX bet button 11 from the credit amount, or inserts a prescribed number of medals from the medal slot 10 (steps S120 to S122). Next, when the rotation start start lever 15 is operated (step S123), the internal lottery is executed when the start operation is triggered by the internal lottery performed inside the gaming machine (step S124). By this starting operation, the reels 8a to 8c are started to rotate and reach a certain speed, and then the operation of the rotation rotation stop buttons 16a to 16c becomes effective. Based on the timing of each stop operation, each reel is controlled to stop at a position corresponding to the internal lottery result. When one of the winning combinations is won, a predetermined number of medals are paid out when the stop operation timing matches and the symbol combination of the winning combination is established on the active line. When a replay role is established, replay is possible without inserting a BET or medal.

When a bonus combination (BB) is won by internal lottery, the bonus combination can be transferred to a bonus game in which a bell combination is won with high probability. Apart from the winning combination determination process by internal lottery in the main process, an ART game grant determination process by sub-process can also be executed. When it is determined that an ART game is to be granted, it is possible to shift to an ART game state in which the correct answer pressing order of the AT role is notified.

  A processing procedure of main processing by the main control board 100 will be described with reference to the drawings. This processing procedure includes a series of flows necessary for one game. In addition, each process in this embodiment is shown with the step number, and the process in each step comprises the control means by a main control part or a sub-control part.

FIG. 6 shows the procedure of the main process.
When the turning-on gaming machine A is turned on, a power-on signal is sent from the power board 400 to the main control board 100 to start the main process. When the power is turned on, an initial setting process (step S1) is performed. Thereafter, the normal operation process (steps S2 to S16) is performed for each game.
First, a RAM initialization process (step S2) is executed to clear predetermined data used at the end of the previous game, and a work area necessary for the current game is secured.

  Next, a game state flag generation process is performed (step S3). In the game state flag generation process, the type of game state of the current game (normal game, RT1 game, RT2 game, bonus carryover game, bonus game, etc.) is confirmed, and a game state flag corresponding to the game state (normal game) Gaming state flag, RT gaming state flag, bonus internal winning flag, bonus operation flag, etc.) are set. The main process in each game is executed based on the set game state flag.

  The ART game in the present embodiment can be executed in the RT2 gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is high in the main process. When the gaming state in the main process is the RT1 gaming state, the provision of the ART game is determined, and the RT2 transition condition is satisfied, so that the RT2 gaming state flag is turned on. When the RT2 game state flag is turned on, the RT2 game state is entered and the ART game is started. The game state flags of RT1 and RT2 are stored and set in the main RAM 103.

  In the present embodiment, the RT game state is managed by the main process by the main control unit, and the ART game grant determination process and the ART game execution process to be given as a bonus game are performed by the sub process of the sub control unit. The ART grant determination process may be performed by the main process. The sub-control unit mainly manages the AT gaming state for notifying the pushing order of the winning AT role. However, for convenience, the sub-control unit executes the AT game in cooperation with the main process. Sometimes referred to as an ART game.

  In the game medal insertion process (step S4), mainly the detection of game medals inserted into the gaming machine body, the management of credits, the automatic insertion setting process of game medals when a re-game occurs, and the like are performed. It is monitored whether or not a predetermined number of game medals required for starting a game are inserted by the game medal insertion process, and when the specified number of game medals are inserted or credit setting is confirmed, the game start condition is satisfied. . While maintaining the established state of the game start condition, the player stands by so as to be able to receive an operation detection signal from the rotation rotation start lever 15 of the player, that is, an operation detection signal from the rotation rotation start switch 15a.

  Upon receipt of the operation detection signal from the rotating rotation start switch 15a, the main control board 100 acquires the internal lottery random value generated by the random number generation circuit, and performs an internal lottery process based on the acquired internal lottery random value. Is performed (step S5). An internal lottery based on the acquired internal random number for lottery and a winning lottery table corresponding to the current gaming state is performed, and winning combination information (winning flag) corresponding to the lottery result is set and stored in the main RAM 103.

FIG. 7 shows a winning symbol combination and a winning lottery table for various winning winning combinations used in the swing type gaming machine A.
The internal lottery in step S5 is executed based on the combination lottery table of FIG. In the role lottery table, lottery probabilities are set so that the payout rate differs according to each of the six stages. FIG. This combination lottery table shows a general winning combination and the like, and a lottery probability table (general game lottery table, RT lottery table, and bonus game lottery table) for bonus combinations (big bonus game BB). In FIG. 7, the lottery probability calculated by the range of the lottery value assigned to each lottery with respect to the random number range (0 to 65535) is shown. In the lottery probability table of FIG. 7, for example, a winning random number range is set so that a small role such as cherry or watermelon and a bell role, and normal replay 1 and specific replay 2 can be drawn simultaneously.

  Two types of RT1 gaming state and RT2 gaming state occur as RT gaming states, but the replay probability is substantially improved only for RT2, and the replay probability of the normal gaming state is only improved by about 1/100 in RT1. It is. The RT1 gaming state is the gaming state at the previous stage of transition to the ART gaming state (RT2 gaming state). In the RT2 gaming state, a lottery table during RT is used in which the lottery probability of Replay 1 is set to 1 / 1.5, which is a higher probability than 1 / 7.3 in the normal game.

  In addition to the ART game, as a special game, a big bonus game BB with a prescribed payout number of acquirable medal amount (or a net increase number obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the payout number) can be given. The big bonus game combination has two types of special game combination combinations (blue 7-blue 7-blue 7 or red 7-red 7-red 7) established by different winning flags. The lottery probability is about 1/290. In an internal winning state in which different big bonus winning flags are set, if any special game combination symbol combination is stopped and established in any of the four active lines, it is possible to shift to a big bonus game. The bonus combination is a so-called zero-sheet combination, and no prize medal is paid out when the bonus combination is established. Nine or five award medals will be paid out when Bell or Watermelon wins. Cherry combination 1 wins by a combination of cherry-RP-RP combination, and an ART grant lottery is generated by winning Cherry combination 1. Cherry 2 is awarded with a blank-cherry-blank symbol combination, and the ART grant is confirmed when the Cherry 2 is selected.

  The bell role is a combination of the stop order of the reels 8a to 8c (left turning cylinder → middle turning cylinder → right turning cylinder, left turning cylinder → right turning cylinder → middle turning cylinder, middle turning cylinder → left turning cylinder → right turning cylinder, There are six types of general small roles: medium turning drum → right turning cylinder → left turning cylinder, right turning cylinder → middle turning cylinder → left turning cylinder, right turning cylinder → left turning cylinder → middle turning cylinder). In the normal gaming state, the lottery probability of each bell role is 1/30, but during the bonus game, it becomes a so-called JAC role that can be won regardless of the stop order, and has a high probability of 1/1. Win. When the Bell as JAC wins, 13 prize medals are paid out.

  The six types of bell roles distinguished by the pressing order are AT roles (pushing order bell roles) that can be won by stopping each spinning cylinder in accordance with the pressing order notification by the sub-control unit in the ART game. In the normal gaming state, each of the six selections of the bell roles is drawn based on a 1/30 lottery probability, and any of the bell roles can be won, but in the normal gaming state, the push order is not notified, In particular, when a so-called forward push stop operation is performed in which the left turn cylinder is stopped in the order of the middle and right turn cylinders, the push order is incorrect and the winning is often not generated. In the ART game state, the winning order probability of the AT combination is improved 6 times (the combined lottery probability of all the Bell combinations is 1/5) by the navigation notification of the pressing order.

In addition to normal replay 1 (RP-RP-RP combination), replay 1
And Replay 2 (RP-RP-Bell combination) for RT2 transition opportunity and Replay 3 (RP-RP-Watermelon / blank combination) for RT2 release opportunity are included.

  The replay roles 2 and 3 are combinations of the stopping order of the reels 8a to 8c (left turning cylinder → middle turning cylinder → right turning cylinder, left turning cylinder → right turning cylinder → middle winding cylinder, middle turning cylinder → left turning cylinder → right). (Circum, middle, right, left), right, middle, left, right, left, middle) Sometimes a replay with any stop order is determined. Replay 2 is an RT2 transition replay role that is drawn at the same time as Replay 1 and is transitioned to the RT2 gaming state by winning and establishing in the RT1 gaming state. If the replay 2 wins when the ART game flag (hereinafter, the ART game flag is sometimes abbreviated as AT flag) is on, the push order of the winning replay 2 is notified. The RT2 gaming state flag is turned on by a stop operation in the correct pressing order.

  The replay 3 is a so-called punk role, and when the replay 3 is won in the RT2 game (ART game) state, if the replay 3 is not established, the RT2 game state is canceled and the RT1 game state is restored. During the ART game, the order of pressing the replay 3 is notified so that the ART game is not punctured. When a stop operation is performed in a pressing order different from the correct answer pressing order of the replays 2 and 3, stop control is performed in which the replay 1 that can be simultaneously established is established, so that no replay occurs.

  In addition to the above-mentioned combination, a lottery combination that is drawn only during the bonus game and is used for the ART grant lottery is provided. The chance combination is a combination of green 7-green 7-green 7 (no award medal is paid out), and the award of the ART game after the end of the bonus game is determined by winning the chance combination.

  In the ART gaming state, the AT role (push order bell role) is notified by the AT role navigation control by the sub-control unit, so that the winning AT role is surely stopped and the frequency of replay increases. Accordingly, the medal consumption is small, and the acquired medals can be gradually increased during the ART game by acquiring the small role such as the AT role.

  In this embodiment, a push order navigation ART game using both a stop order notification game (push order navigation AT game) and an RT game is given as a privilege game, and in the spinning stop process during the push order navigation ART game, Stop control is executed with reference to the stopping sequence of the rotating drum. As a privilege game, a push order navigation AT game that does not use an RT game may be given, or an ART game that notifies the type of AT symbol may be given.

  In the internal winning state of the bonus combination, the bonus winning flag is set as a carryover combination that can be carried over to the next game. Therefore, when winning the bonus combination, the game period until the bonus combination is established, the winning combination The established state of the flag is maintained. On the other hand, the winning combination other than the bonus combination is set as a carry-over impossible combination in which the winning flag cannot be carried over to the next game. Even during bonus carryover games, lotteries are drawn as usual, and whether or not to win a combination of symbols corresponding to the selected small combination at this time is determined based on a predetermined drawing priority. In the present embodiment, stop control is performed so as to preferentially draw in the order of “(replay or small combination)> bonus combination”.

  In the internal lottery process, a “game start command (including information on game state and winning information (lottery result information))” is set as a control command to the sub-control unit. The “information relating to the gaming state” included in the game start command includes information relating to the gaming state such as “normally playing”, “RT gaming”, “bonus gaming”, “bonus carryover gaming”, and the like.

Subsequently, a rotation rotation start setting process (step S6) for setting the rotation mode of the rotation cylinder is performed.
In the rotation rotation start setting process, the rotation activation process is performed through the weight process. In the wait process, a predetermined specified time (for example, 4.1 seconds) from the start of reel rotation in the previous spinning game is counted by a wait timer (not shown) provided in the main control unit, and the specified process is performed. This is a process for waiting in the current spinning game without starting the rotation of the reel until the time (wait time) elapses. In the rotation activation process, the rotation activation condition such as a rotation period according to the rotation activation condition and the special effect pattern at the time of normal rotation is set.

  After the setting process at the time of rotation rotation start (rotation rotation start setting process) is performed, the reel rotation start is performed and the reels 8a to 8c are shifted to the rotation state. When the special effect is executed, the rotation of the spinning cylinder is started after the freeze period. After the reel rotation, when detection signals from the rotation rotation stop switches 16e, 16f, and 16g by the rotation operation of the rotation rotation rotation stop buttons 16a to 16c are output, the rotation cylinder to be stopped is stopped and controlled. Is performed (step S7). In the rotation stop processing, the number of sliding symbols is calculated from the stop control table based on the winning information and the stop operation procedure (stop operation timing) of the rotation, and the stop control of the rotation based on this is performed.

  The spinning stop process is performed at a corresponding reel stop position by referring to a stop control table stored in the main ROM 102 based on a stop operation position that is a stop operation position for each reel and a lottery result of the lottery process. This is done by stopping the rotation of the reel. The reel stop position is determined so as to be pulled in and stopped within a predetermined number of symbols (the maximum number of sliding symbols defined in the game rules: 4) as seen from the position of the stop operation timing. When there are symbols corresponding to the lottery result within 4 frames from the position of the stop operation timing, the stop control is performed so that the winning combination symbols are aligned on the active line. In particular, in the re-game stop control process, when a re-game is won even in a normal game state or a bonus flag carry-over state, priority pull-in control is performed so that the re-game is always aligned on the active line. .

When it is confirmed that all reels have stopped rotating, a winning determination process is performed (step S8). In the winning determination process, it is confirmed whether or not the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination has stopped on the effective winning line, that is, whether or not a winning has occurred.
When a winning is confirmed by the winning determination process, a process for setting the number of game medals to be paid out is performed based on the combination of the symbols that have been stopped. Next, in the medal payout number monitoring process (step S9), based on the payout information set in the winning determination process, the medal hopper 305 is driven to perform game medal payout process and credit addition process for the payout number. .

  Further, during the freeze period in which the progress of the game is paused, a special effect process (step S10) for determining whether or not to execute a special effect for performing rotational driving of the spinning cylinder that is different from normal is executed. The special effect by the special effect pattern determined in the special effect process is executed in the next freeze execution process (step S11).

FIG. 9 shows the types of special effects that can be executed in this embodiment.
The special effect patterns include eight types of special effects PTN1 to PTN8. These effect pattern data are stored in the main ROM 102, and each freeze period is also set for each pattern.

  The special effects PTN1 to PTN3 are freeze effects that execute a specific image effect in the liquid crystal display device 3 that is executed by the sub-process during the freeze period in which the progress of the game is paused. Each freeze period (20, 15, 10 sec) ) Is different.

  The special effects PTN4 and 5 are composed of a composite freeze effect that performs a specific image effect during the freeze period and a reverse rotation drive effect of the rotating drum, and each reverse rotation time (10 sec, 5 sec) and freeze period (15 sec) 10 sec) is different. The reverse rotation drive effect is an effect in a rotating rotation mode in which the rotating drum is rotated at a high speed in the direction opposite to the normal direction. Special effects PTN6 to PTN6 are effects of delaying the start of the rotating cylinder that delay the starting of the rotating cylinder for a short time from the normal time, and the start delay times of the left, middle and right cylinders are set as freeze periods, respectively. This is a short freeze effect set at 400 milliseconds.

  Special effects include, in addition to the reverse rotation mode and the start delay rotation mode described above, a slow rotation mode in which the rotating drum is rotated at a lower speed than the normal rotation, an irregular starting order mode in which the rotating drum is started in a starting sequence different from the normal rotation, or A frame feed rotation mode or a combination rotation mode in which two or more various rotation modes are combined can be used.

  FIG. 24 shows the processing contents of the special effect processing (step S10). FIG. 25 shows a special effect execution process by a freeze execution process (step S11). FIG. 26 shows a special effect lottery table used for the special effect lottery in the special effect process. This special effect lottery table is stored in the main ROM 102.

  The determination process for determining whether or not to execute the special effect is performed based on a lottery performed using a bonus combination, a chance combination, a cherry combination, a watermelon combination or a bell combination as a lottery opportunity. When one of the lottery opportunities is won, a special effect lottery for determining whether or not to execute the freeze effect and determining the type of the freeze effect is executed based on the special effect lottery table (steps S101 and S102).

  According to the special effect lottery based on the special effect lottery table in FIG. 26, for example, when the BB is won, the special effects PTN1, 3, 4, 5 can be determined by lottery, and in particular, the special effect PTN3 has a high probability ( The lottery probability is 1/8). When a chance combination is won during bonus game, special effects PTN1 and 3 can be determined by lottery, and special effect PTN1 can be selected with a high probability (lottery probability: 2/3). At the time of winning the Cherry 2 role, the special effects PTN1, 3, 4, and 6 can be determined by lottery, and in particular, the special effect PTN1 can be selected with high probability (lottery probability: 1/3). That is, as a result of the role lottery, in the case of winning the chance role and the cherry 2 role in which the ART game is given, the execution frequency of the special effect by the special effect PTN1 is the highest.

  Special effects PTN1-4, 6 can be determined by lottery when winning Cherry 1 role. At the time of winning the watermelon role, special effects PTN 1 to 3, 5, 7, and 8 can be determined by lottery. When a special effect by the special effect PTN1 is executed during the normal game, the acquisition of the BB is notified when the BB is won, and the acquisition of the ART game is notified when the ART game grant is confirmed or determined. In particular, even if a special effect by the special effect PTN1 is executed in response to the winning of a role such as Cherry 1, if an ART game grant lottery is not won by sub-processing, the acquisition notification of the ART game through the special effect will be given. It is not performed, and it becomes a gasse notification regarding the presence or absence of the ART game. When the Bell role is won, special effects PTN2, 6, and 8 can be determined by lottery. When a winning combination with a low chance of winning a cherry role or a watermelon role is simultaneously won with another role, a special performance lottery can be executed based on the winning of the cherry role or the watermelon role.

As a result of the special effect lottery, when the special effect is executed and one of the special effects PTN1 to 8 is determined, the special effect flags F1 to F8 corresponding to any of the special effects PTN1 to PTN8 related to the determination are set. Turns on (steps S103, S104). When the special effect flag is turned on, execution of the special effect is performed at the start of the next game at a freeze execution process (step S1).
1). Accordingly, the special effect process (step S10) is not executed in the game in which the special effect flag is on (step S100). A spinning rotation control pattern is set according to the type of the special effect flag that has been set (step S105).

  If any of the special effect flags F1 to F8 is on, the special effect is executed at the start of the game (steps S110 and S111). The determined special game type is determined from the type of the special effect flag, and the freeze effect related to the determined type is executed (step S112). The freeze effect is executed during the freeze period according to the determination type (step S113). For example, in the case of the special effect PTN2, the progress of the game is temporarily stopped during the freeze period (15 sec), and the spinning cylinder is stopped during the freeze period by the spinning cylinder rotation control flag FR1, and the liquid crystal is displayed during that period. A specific image effect using the display device 3 is executed. As the specific image effect, for example, an image effect for notifying and congratulating winning of the BB is executed. Further, in the case of the special effects PTN6 to 8, the freeze effect in which the start delays of the left, middle and right cylinders are generated during the short freeze period by the rotation control flags FR5 to FR7. . The freeze effect ends when the freeze period elapses, and the special effect flag is turned off (steps S113 and S114). After the freeze effect is completed, the normal spinning cylinder rotation state is entered, and the spinning game state is entered in which the spinning cylinder stop operation can be performed.

  After the special effect process and the freeze execution process, a re-game RT setting process for setting the re-game and setting the transition of the RT game state is performed (step S12). In the re-game RT setting process, it is determined whether or not the RT game establishment condition is established based on the winning information or the like, and when the RT game establishment condition is established, the transition to the RT1 gaming state or the RT2 gaming state is set. . In the re-game RT setting process, a re-game setting process for re-playing when a replay combination is established is also performed. That is, it is determined whether or not the replay is stopped on the effective pay line, and when the replay is stopped, a setting process for giving a regame is performed, and the process proceeds to step S13.

After the re-game RT setting process, it is determined whether or not a bonus game is being played (step S13). If the bonus game is being played, a bonus game operating process is performed (step S15). In the bonus game operating process, a bonus game continuation process and a setting process required to finish the bonus game are executed.
The main control unit compares the number of payouts during bonus game (the number acquired during bonus game) with a predetermined maximum number acquired, and the number acquired during bonus game reaches the maximum number acquired (200 for big bonus game). If the bonus game is continued until the maximum number of bonus games is reached or exceeded, the bonus game in-process is terminated. When the above processes and settings are completed, the process returns to the RAM initialization process (step S2).

  Even during the bonus game, the ART grant lottery can be executed. As shown in FIG. 7, when a chance combination is won with a lottery probability of 1/200, granting of an ART game after the bonus game ends is confirmed. After the bonus game is finished, the game state returns to the normal game state, but when the ART game is determined to be given by winning the chance combination, the state can be shifted to the RT2 state (ART game state). A high-probability grant lottery may be performed without confirming the grant of an ART game by winning a chance combination.

  If the bonus game is not in progress, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the bonus combination (special winning combination) has stopped on the active line (step S14). If the bonus combination has not stopped, the RAM initialization process is performed. (Step S2). On the other hand, when the bonus combination is stopped and the bonus combination is established, a bonus game operation start process is performed (step S16). When the bonus game operation start process is completed, the process proceeds to a RAM initialization process in step S2.

FIG. 10 shows the transition relationship of the gaming state generated by the main process.
FIG. 10A shows the transition relationship between the general gaming state 10A, the RT1 gaming state 10B, the RT2 gaming state 10C, and the special gaming state 10E in the main process, and FIG. 10B shows the transition trigger (transition) between the gaming states. Condition).
The first RT1 gaming state 10B when the transition condition 4 (AT missed) is satisfied from the general gaming state 10A that is not in the RT1 state, the RT2 state (including the ART gaming state) or the bonus game state (special gaming state 10E). Migrate to When the transition condition 5 is satisfied in the RT1 gaming state 10B, the state transitions to the second RT2 gaming state 10C. The transition condition 5 is established when the specific replay 2 is established.

  When the bonus game winning of the transition condition 1 is established in the general gaming state 10A, the RT1 gaming state 10B, and the RT2 gaming state 10C, the bonus symbol display of the transition condition 2 is established through the special gaming internal winning state 10D, and the special game It becomes possible to shift to the state 10E. When the special game state 10E ends (the transition condition 3 is satisfied), the game state returns to the general game state 10A. In the RT2 gaming state 10C, the ART gaming state of the AT role push order notification game executed under the control of the sub-control unit is executed. After the end of the ART game, the RT2 gaming state 10C is canceled and the RT1 gaming state 10B is entered due to the failure of the replay 3 (satisfaction of the transition condition 6). If the transition condition 7 is satisfied during the ART game (satisfaction of the puncture condition: AT role is missed), the game state is shifted to the general gaming state 10A. During the ART game, the push order of the replay 3 is notified and the RT2 game state is not released unless the stop operation is mistaken. Even if the ART gaming state ends, the RT2 gaming state continues, but even if the replay 3 is won after the ART game ends, the stop operation order is not notified, so the replay 3 is not established and the RT2 gaming state is quickly Canceled. Non-winning of AT role can be used as the RT2 release condition.

  In the present embodiment, a game state transition system for passing through the RT1 game state 10B without directly shifting from the general game state 10A to the ART game state is mounted, but via two or more RT game states. The present invention may be shifted to the ART gaming state, and the present invention is a spinning machine capable of shifting from the general gaming state 10A or the RT1 gaming state 10B to the AT gaming state as a bonus game without adding the RT2 gaming state. Can also be applied.

  FIGS. 11 to 15 and FIGS. 19 to 21 show the contents of sub-processes related to the ART grant determination process, ART transition process, and ART execution process by the sub-control unit. Each sub-process is executed with reference to an internal lottery result and game state information of the main process. FIG. 11 shows the setting process of the game modes A to C on the sub process in the sub control unit. In each game mode, the set value of the mode transition point value and the expected value of the ART grant lottery probability differ in each game period.

(17A) to (17C) of FIG. 17 show point setting value tables used in the game modes A to C, respectively. These point setting value tables are stored in the sub ROM 202.
In the game modes A to C, the expected values of the point setting values given according to the internal lottery result are different, and the expected values are improved in the order of the game modes A to C. For example, when compared at the time of winning the cherry, the point values are gradually improved to 160, 200, and 240 in each of the game modes A to C. In the present embodiment, the point value can also be given by BB or RB winning. For example, in the game mode A of (17A), 140 point values are given by BB winning.

(18A) to (18C) in FIG. 18 show a lottery table of ART lottery executed in the game modes A to C. These ART lottery tables are stored in the sub ROM 202. In each game mode, an ART grant lottery for determining whether or not to grant an ART game is executed in response to a winning of a cherry role or a watermelon role. The expected value of the winning probability of the ART game in the game modes A to C is improved in the order of the game modes A to C. For example, when compared with the lottery probability values at the time of winning the cherry, the game modes A to C increase in order of 3668/65536, 4816/65536, 6104/65536.

In the high-accuracy game mode that occurs when the cumulative value of the mode transition point value reaches the first reference value N1, a point value high setting value table similar to the game mode C is used as the point setting value table. .
(18D) of FIG. 18 shows the lottery table of the ART grant lottery executed in the high probability game mode. This ART lottery table is also stored in the sub ROM 202. In the high-probability game mode, in addition to the winning of the role of cherry or watermelon, the ART lottery can also be executed when winning the role of bell or replay, and the expectation of the probability of winning the ART game in the high-probability game mode The value is improved in each stage as compared with the game modes A to C. For example, the lottery probability values at the time of winning the cherry role and the watermelon role are larger as 48982/65536 and 14804/65536 than in the game modes A to C. Even when winning a bell role or a replay role, a high-probability ART grant lottery can be executed.

  Each game mode can be switched to another game mode based on the internal lottery result. In the initial setting stage of the rotating type gaming machine A, the game mode A is initially set (steps S150 and S155). Starting from the game mode A, the game mode is switched to the game modes B, C, A, B,... In succession when the winning of the cherry or watermelon role (the establishment of the game mode switching condition) is triggered. That is, when the initial mode has been set (step S150), it is determined that the game mode switching condition is satisfied, and when the game mode switching condition is satisfied, the current game mode is switched to the next game mode (step S151, S152). The status flag of each game mode is set in the corresponding area of the sub RAM 203.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the RT2 gaming state is released, and when the RT2 gaming state is released, the game mode A is set (steps S153 and S154). As described later, the high-accuracy game mode can be executed with a limited mode valid period (the number of games). Therefore, in the high-accuracy game mode, it is possible to determine the mode without determining whether the above game mode switching condition is satisfied. The game mode A is set at the end of the valid period (steps S153 and S154). At the end of the high-accuracy game mode, instead of being fixed to the game mode A, a transition mode lottery for determining any one of the game modes A to C is performed, and the game mode after the end of the high-accuracy game mode is more advantageous. The selection may be made with a possibility of becoming C.

FIG. 12 shows the ART grant determination process by the sub-control unit.
In this ART grant determination process, the grant determination process at the time of winning a winning combination (chance role or two cherry roles) for which the ART grant is determined by winning, and an ART grant lottery opportunity such as cherry 1 and watermelon role other than the final role The grant lottery process at the time of winning is included.

  Every time a game is executed, the grant determination process (steps S162 and S165) or except for the case where the ART game is already won and the ART game flag is set in the corresponding area of the sub RAM 203 (step S161) or The ART grant lottery process (steps S163 to S165) is executed by the sub-process (steps S160 and steps S162 to S165). Depending on the winning of the chance combination during the bonus game or the winning of the second combination of cherries in the normal game, it is determined that the ART game is given, and the ART game flag is turned on and set (steps S162 and S165).

When the winning combination is not won, the ART grant lottery is executed based on the ART lottery table in the game mode (either A to C or the high probability game mode) set in the sub-process. At this time, when the high probability game mode is set, the expected value of the winning probability of the ART game is much higher than the game modes A to C. Therefore, the ratio of winning the ART game during the game mode is very high. Is getting bigger. When the ART grant lottery is won, the ART game flag is turned on and set (steps S164 and S165). The ART condition necessary for the execution of the ART game is set by confirming the ART grant or winning the ART (step S166). The ART game flag is set in a flag area provided in the sub RAM 203. The ART grant confirmation or ART winning is the establishment of a predetermined condition according to the present invention which is necessary for the ART game grant.

  In the present embodiment, ART game grant setting is performed with 35 games as a grant unit (one set unit), and the number of ART games can be added and updated by extra lottery during ART games. When the ART game for the unit is completed, the continuation grant update for one set can be newly made by continuous lottery. When the ART condition is set, the number of ART games (35) for one set unit is set in the memory area for setting the number of ART games (effective number of games) in the sub RAM 203 (step S166). When an extra update occurs, the added game count is added to the set value of the ART game count and updated. The number of times of AT game digestion is counted by the AT game execution number counter memory area of the sub RAM 203 for each game execution during the ART game.

  The setting contents of the ART condition include setting of a precursor game period in the ART preparation mode process for shifting to the ART gaming state. The precursor game period can be set to 16 games, and is set in the precursor game period setting area of the sub RAM 203. The precursor game period can be determined by lottery of any number of games from a plurality of game periods. When ART is selected, the mode transition point value counting process is also cleared (step S167). After the ART condition is set, the process proceeds to the ART preparation mode process (step S168).

The transition to the high-probability game mode can be executed based on the accumulated state of the mode transition point values generated as the game progresses.
First, a transition mode based on the accumulated state of mode transition point values will be described below.
FIG. 13 shows point processing for accumulating mode transition point values.
By this point processing, the mode transition point value set according to the winning combination is cumulatively added as the game progresses, and the ART game is based on the cumulative value reaching the first reference value N1 (= 600). It becomes possible to shift to the high-probability game mode in which the giving lottery is advantageous. Further, based on the cumulative value reaching the second reference value N2 (= 800), it is possible to make a transition to the ultimate gaming state in the high-probability gaming mode and to confirm the granting of the ART game.

  The point process of FIG. 13 can be executed not only in the normal gaming state but also in the high-probability gaming mode (step S170). That is, in the game modes A to C in the normal game state or the high-probability game mode, the point value corresponding to the winning combination is determined and given based on the internal lottery result (step S171). As the setting value of the point value in the high-accuracy game mode, the same value as in the game mode C having the largest setting value is used. In the high-probability game mode, a higher set point value may be given than in the game mode C. The assigned mode transition point value is accumulated and stored in the mode transition point counter memory area provided in the sub RAM 203, and the count value of the point counter is updated (step S172).

After accumulating and storing the mode transition point value, the count accumulated value Sc of the point counter is compared with the second reference value N2 (step S173). When the first reference value N1 smaller than the second reference value N2 is exceeded and the second reference value N2 is reached at once or the second reference value N2 is exceeded, the provision of the ART game is confirmed without performing the ART grant lottery (step) S173 to S177). When the ART game grant is confirmed, the count value of the point counter is cleared and the ART game flag is turned on (steps S174 and S175). Next, an ART game setting process is performed based on the ART game grant confirmation, and the process proceeds to an ART preparation mode process (steps S176 and S177).

  When not in the high probability game mode, when the count accumulated value Sc of the point counter is less than the second reference value N2 and becomes equal to or greater than the first reference value N1, it is possible to shift to the high probability game mode. When the count cumulative value Sc reaches the first reference value N1, the high-probability game mode flag is turned on, and the high-probability game mode can be entered (steps S178, S179, S180). The high probability game mode flag is set in the corresponding area of the sub RAM 203. Instead of immediately shifting to the high-probability game mode, the high-probability game mode transition process as the precursor mode is executed (step S181). When the high probability game mode ends, the high probability game mode flag is turned off (steps S182 and S183). After the count cumulative value Sc reaches the first reference value N1, if the high probability game mode flag has already been turned on by a high probability game mode setting process, which will be described later, the on process is not required.

FIG. 14 shows the high probability game mode transition process (step S181).
A game number lottery for determining the number of games in the precursor mode (transition period) is executed based on the high-probability game mode flag being turned on (step S190).
(18E) of FIG. 18 shows the distribution lottery table used for the sign mode game number lottery. This distribution lottery table is stored in the sub ROM 202. One of the numbers of 1 to 10 games is determined by the predecessor mode game number lottery. According to this distribution lottery table, the number of games 1 to 4 out of the number of games 1 to 10 can be distributed with a high probability. For example, the number of games “3” is distributed by the highest distribution lottery probability value (40/128).

  The number of games determined by the sign mode game number lottery (step S190) is set in the transition period game number counter memory area provided in the sub RAM 203 as a transition period to the high-probability game mode (step S191). During this transition period, the mode valid period of the high-accuracy game mode is determined. The mode valid period is determined by performing the lottery of the number of units (1 unit: 16 games) based on the occurrence of the lottery opportunity (cherry, watermelon, bell or replay) during the transition period. (Step S194). Since the determination of the mode valid period is valid for all winning combinations during the transition period until the upper limit (20) is reached, the longer the transition period, the more advantageous to the player. The unit numerical value of the mode valid period can be added and stored in the mode unit number counter memory area provided in the sub RAM 203.

Since there is a case where the sort lottery opportunity (cherry, watermelon, bell or replay) does not occur during the transition period, at least one unit is ensured for the mode valid period of the high-accuracy game mode. Yes. That is, an initial value “1” is set in the mode unit counter at the start of the transition period (step S192). Instead of this initial value set, all the lottery winning combinations can be assigned to the lottery lottery, and at least “1” or more mode units can be given even when the lottery is off. During the transition period of the precursor mode, a process for assigning the number of mode units corresponding to the winning combination received from the main side is executed for each game (step S194).
(18F) of FIG. 18 shows the distribution lottery table of the effective period (number of mode units) of the high-accuracy game mode used in this grant process (step S194). This distribution lottery table is stored in the sub ROM 202. Any one of 1 to 10 mode units can be given by the sorting lottery based on the sorting lottery table of (18F). For example, the mode unit number “1” is sorted by the highest sorting lottery probability value (64/128).

  When the assignment of the mode unit number is determined by the distribution lottery based on the distribution lottery table of (18F), the mode unit number counter is added and updated with the assigned value (steps S194 to S196). When no mode unit number is given, the count value of the mode unit number counter is not updated (step S195). Next, it is determined whether or not the count value of the mode unit number counter has reached the upper limit value (20) (step S197).

  When the mode valid period reaches the upper limit (20), even if there is a remaining game in the transition period, the high-probability game mode transition process ends, the transition period game number counter is cleared, and the transition to the high-probability game mode occurs ( Steps S197, S199, S200). In this transition pattern, a highly reliable game mode with 20 mode units can be executed.

  When the mode valid period is less than the upper limit (20), the transition period game number counter is decremented by 1 and updated (steps S197 and S198), and the high-probability game mode transition process is continued until the number of games in the transition period becomes zero. The When the count value of the transition period game number counter becomes 0, the transition period ends, the high-probability game mode transition process is terminated, and the transition to the high-probability game mode is made (steps S193 and S200). In this transition pattern, the highly probable game mode with any one of the mode units 1 to 19 can be executed.

  In the high-accuracy game mode, during the number of games in the mode valid period (16 × number of grant mode units), the expected value of the winning probability of the ART grant is markedly improved compared to the game modes A to C, and the ART game is granted. The gaming state is easy to obtain.

FIG. 15 shows the high probability game mode process (step S200).
The game processing in the high-accuracy game mode can be executed for each mode unit (16 games) of the number of stored (stock) units stored in the mode unit number counter. That is, the count value of the mode unit number counter is decremented by 1 (step S201), and “16” is set in the execution counter memory area provided in the sub RAM 203 (step S202). Execution of game processing in the game mode is started.

  In the high-probability game mode, the ART lottery process of FIG. 12 is executed by parallel processing for each game. When one game is executed and the winning is performed by executing the ART grant lottery, the execution number counter is cleared and the high-probability game mode processing is ended (steps S203, S204, S208). The ART condition is set by turning on the ART game flag by winning the ART award lottery, and the mode transition point value counting process that has been continued even in the high-probability game mode is canceled. The winning game mode flag is turned off and the ART preparation mode is entered (see steps S164 to S167).

  When the ART grant lottery is not selected, the execution counter is decremented by 1, and the next game process is started. The above game process is repeated until the count value of the execution number counter becomes 0 unless the ART grant lottery is won (steps S203 to S206). Further, every time the game of 16 games is consumed, the stock unit number stored in the mode unit counter is decremented by 1 (step S201). The process is repeated every time until the count value of the mode unit counter becomes 0 (step S207). When the count value of the mode unit number counter becomes 0, the high probability game mode flag is turned off and the high probability game mode setting is canceled. Although omitted in FIG. 13, the accumulation of the mode transition point value proceeds even in the high-probability game mode, and when the count accumulation value Sc reaches the second reference value N2, the grant of the ART game is confirmed. . At this time, the highly probable game mode flag is turned off and the state shifts to the ART preparation mode. Also in this case, when there is a remaining number of the mode unit number counter at the time of shifting to the ART preparation mode, the remaining number data may be validated as the remaining period without being cleared.

When it is determined to give an ART game during the high-probability game mode, the execution number counter is cleared (step S208), but the mode unit number counter is not cleared. Thereby, when the count value of the mode unit number counter is 1 or more, the game number value based on the remaining unit number of the mode unit number counter can be maintained as the remaining period of the highly probable game mode.

FIG. 19 shows the ART preparation mode processing by the sub-control unit.
In the on state of the ART game flag, the transition to the RT2 game state is established when the warning game period has elapsed, and the transition to the ART game state is made. During the precursor game period, even if Replay 2 is won, the winning push order is not notified and can be notified after the precursor game period has elapsed. When the on-information of the RT2 gaming state flag based on the establishment of the replay 2 is received from the main side after the precursor game period has elapsed (step S215), the ART gaming process can be executed (steps S216 and S217).

FIG. 20 shows AT game processing managed by the sub-control unit.
The notification process of the stop operation order (push order) of the AT combination during the ART game and the addition update process of the number of effective games of the AT game are executed by the sub process by the sub control unit. At the start of the ART game, a continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the ART game for the next set is executed (step S226).

  In the continuous lottery, a lottery of whether or not to continue is executed with a lottery probability (1/3) (step S226). A plurality of lottery modes for continuous lottery can be set. For example, when the ART condition is set, a lottery with a low lottery probability (1/3) or a high probability (7/8) is selected (for example, a high probability can be selected with a 1/10 distribution rate). Thus, it is possible to set the continuous lottery mode based on the lottery probability of either high or low. In this case, the continuous lottery based on the lottery probability in the continuous lottery mode set in the continuous lottery can be executed. When the continuous lottery is won, the ART continuation flag is turned on (steps S227 and S228). The ART continuation flag is set in the corresponding area of the sub RAM 203. The execution of the continuous lottery is not limited to the start of the ART game, and may be performed by providing a continuous lottery period in the RT2 gaming state after the ART game is finished.

  When an ART game is started and one spinning game is executed by inserting medals or credits and starting reel rotation (step S221), an AT game number management process (step S222) in the sub-process is executed. The At the start of the ART game, the initial value “35” is set in the sub RAM 203 when the ART game is granted (see step S165).

FIG. 23 shows the processing contents of the AT game frequency management process (step S222).
In the present embodiment, an extra update process is provided as an update process of the number of effective games during an AT game.

  FIG. 16 shows an extra lottery table stored in the sub ROM 202. The extra lottery can be executed with the replay, the cherry role, the watermelon role winning or the internal lottery off as a lottery opportunity. For example, when winning a watermelon role, an additional 20 games can be determined with a lottery probability of 512/65536.

When the winning lottery is won, the ART game number counter is added and updated with the number of added games related to winning (steps S223 and S224). Further, one subtraction is performed on the ART game number counter (step S225). When one set (including the extra) of the ART game is executed and digested, and the value of the ART game number counter becomes 0 (step S226), it is determined whether or not the ART game can be continued (step S228). When the ART continuation flag is on, the ART game number counter is set to an initial value (step S229), and one set of ART game execution is repeated. The continuous lottery process is also executed at the start of execution update of the ART game (steps S230 to S234). When it is out of the continuous lottery, the ART game based on the current ART game flag ON (step S175) is terminated, and the process proceeds to the highly probable game mode return process (step S235). If an AT puncture occurs during the ART game, the process ends at that time (step S227).

FIG. 21 shows the high probability game mode return process (step S230).
In this high-probability game mode return process, it is determined whether or not there is a remaining number of count values of the mode unit number counter, and whether or not it is possible to return to the high-probability game mode is determined (step S240). When it is determined that an ART game is to be given during the high-probability game mode, if the count value of the mode unit counter remains 1 or more, the return flag to the high-probability game mode is turned on (step S241). The game number value based on the number of remaining units of the mode unit number counter can be used as the remaining period of the high probability game mode to return to the high probability game mode (step S242). The return flag is set in the corresponding area of the sub RAM 203.

  By turning on the return flag to the high probability game mode, the high probability game mode process related to the return similar to the high probability game mode process of FIG. 15 is executed. The high-probability game mode game process at the time of return is executed in units of one mode (16 games) for the number of remaining units of the mode unit counter (see steps S201 to S208).

  In the high-probability game mode at the time of return, one game is executed, and when winning is performed by executing the ART grant lottery, the high-probability game mode processing is terminated (see steps S203, S204, and S208). The ART condition is set by turning on the ART game flag by winning the ART grant lottery, and the mode transition point value counting process is also released, and further, returning to the high-probability game mode with the winning of the ART grant lottery. The flag is turned off and the mode shifts to the ART preparation mode. Even when it is determined that an ART game is to be granted in the high-probability game mode at the time of return, if the count value of the mode unit number counter remains 1 or more, the mode unit number counter after the end of the granted ART game The number of games based on the remaining unit number is used as the remaining period of the high-probability game mode, and the high-probability game mode can be returned again by the high-probability game mode return process (step S230). In order to stabilize the appearance design, the number of return processes may be limited, for example, to 2 or less.

  The game processing in the high-probability game mode at the time of return is repeated until the remaining unit number of the mode unit number counter becomes 0 unless the ART grant lottery is won (see step S207). When the count value of the mode unit number counter becomes 0, the return flag to the high probability game mode is turned off, and the setting of the high probability game mode at the time of return is cancelled.

Next, notification effect control executed under the control of the sub-control unit will be described. In the following description, notification effect control in updating the number of games in the ART gaming state will be mainly described.
FIG. 22 shows an outline of the effect notification process executed by the sub-control unit.
In the present embodiment, winning symbols and role types are announced mainly by image display by the liquid crystal display device 3, and a blessing effect at the time of winning a role is performed. In addition to this image effect, or separately, a notification effect by an accessory operation effect of a mechanical accessory device, a sound effect by the upper speaker 4 and the lower speakers 22a and 22b, and various sounds using the electric effect of the decorative lamp unit 6, Light production is executed.

In the effect notification process by the sub-control unit, image / sound / light effect notification according to the gaming state is performed. The sub control unit receives the control command from the main control unit, determines the game state, and executes the normal game effect notification process in the normal game mode (steps S400 and S405). In the normal game effect notification process, game information related to the result of the internal lottery, for example, various roles (including specific roles), 100% notification of replay or miss, notification of the probability of winning, etc. is performed. The normal game effect notifying process includes a notifying process for notifying the promising effect / mode execution effect / return effect of the high-probability game mode, the ART grant determination / grant lottery result, and the accumulated state of the mode transition point value. Further, in the normal game effect notification process, a notification that provides game information related to the winning of the bonus game player and the ART grant determination that is executed in connection with the execution of the special effect of the main process and the expected effect in the precursor game period. Production is included. As for the cumulative status of mode transition points, for example, a battle effect between a hero and a villain is performed, and the degree of achievement of the reference value is notified by the number of villains defeated.

In the case of a bonus game, a bonus game effect notification process for displaying the progress effect of the bonus game in accordance with the content of the motif of the gaming machine and the number of acquired coins is executed (steps S401 and S406). In particular, the bonus game effect notification process includes a notification effect process of ART grant confirmation by chance winning.
In the case of an ART game, ART game effect notification processing such as ART game progress effect, ART game continuation, ART game number addition update notification, accumulated display of the number of acquired medals, etc. is executed (steps S402 and S407). .
In the case of the internal winning state, an internal winning state effect informing process for notifying the confirmation of bonus combination winning and the probability of winning the bonus combination is executed (steps S403 and S408). Further, when a bonus game is won, a bonus winning effect notification process for congratulating the occurrence of the bonus game is executed (steps S404 and S409). When the special effect is executed, a specific video effect executed during the freeze period can be executed in the normal game effect notification process (step S405), the internal winning state effect notification process (step S408), or the like.

  The sub-control board 200 acquires the winning combination type and performs an effect process according to the winning combination in the ART game effect notification process (step S407). When the winning combination is the AT combination, the push order notification effect corresponding to the winning combination type is selected based on the winning combination push order notification effect selection table stored in the sub ROM 202. For example, if the push order is elected as the bell of the middle torso → left torso → right torso, the right / left / middle instruction voices in accordance with the stopping procedure will be displayed before the first reel stop. ”,“ Hidari ”before the next reel stop, and“ Naka ”before the last reel stop, and is notified together with the image display. This push order notification effect is executed in parallel with the ART progress effect that directs the progress of the entire ART game. The ART game effect notification processing constitutes notification control means for performing notification control of the stop operation order in the stop operation order notification game. Even when an ART game for notifying the type of the winning AT symbol is given, the winning combination notification can be performed by providing the effect control board 200 with the winning combination notification control means for notifying the type of the winning AT combination. If the winning combination is a bonus combination, an effect at the time of winning the bonus is selected, and if the winning combination is a small combination or missed, the contents corresponding to each are selected.

FIG. 27 shows a warning notification effect determination process executed by the sub-control unit.
When the precursor game period is determined based on the AT flag being turned on (steps S250 and S251), the precursor notification effect availability lottery for determining whether or not to perform the warning notification effect is executed, and the winner notification effect flag is turned on by winning. The sign notification effect content is determined (steps S252 to S254). The warning notification effect flag is set in the corresponding memory area of the sub RAM. Although the warning notification effect flag is omitted in FIG. 27, it is turned off when the warning game period ends. The lottery probability of the sign notification effect availability lottery is 7/8. In addition to the image pattern content of only the image effect on the liquid crystal screen, the sign notification effect content includes a hold display effect using the hold display according to the present invention as an option. The hold display effect can be selected at a distribution ratio (5/8) by distribution lottery. In the hold display effect, the hold ball mark of the hold display body appears on the display screen 3a of the liquid crystal display device 3, and it becomes possible to notify the confirmation or possibility of the ART game grant according to the type of the hold ball mark.

Even in the gaming state in which the AT flag is off, a pseudo precursor notification effect availability lottery for determining whether or not to perform a pseudo predictor notification effect is executed, the pseudo precursor notification effect flag is turned on by winning, and the pseudo precursor notification effect content is It is determined (steps S250, S255 to S258). The pseudo precursor notification effect flag is set in the corresponding memory area of the sub-RAM, and is turned off when the pseudo indicator notification effect is executed over 16 games. The lottery probability of the false sign notification effect availability lottery is 1/16. In addition to the image pattern content of only the image effect on the liquid crystal screen, the pseudo warning notification effect content includes a pseudo hold display effect using the hold display according to the present invention as an option. The pseudo hold display effect can be selected at a distribution rate (1/8) by distribution lottery. In the pseudo hold display effect, the hold ball mark of the hold display body appears on the display screen 3a as in the hold display effect, and only the possibility of giving an ART game can be notified according to the type of the hold ball mark.

When the hold display effect (or pseudo hold display effect) is selected, the hold display pattern of the hold display body is determined.
FIG. 27 shows the hold display body pattern determination process of the hold display effect. (28B) of FIG. 28 shows the type of the hold display body used for the hold display effect. (29A) of FIG. 29 shows the lottery table used for the lottery of the hold display body in the hold display body pattern determination process. (29C) of FIG. 29 shows the notification content by each holding display body.

  As shown in (28B), the holding display body is composed of four types of holding ball marks H1 to H4 having different notification expectation levels. The reserved ball marks H1 to H4 are displayed on the display screen 3a as red balls, blue, green balls, and yellow balls, respectively. The reserved ball marks H1 to H4 serve as indexes that enable provision of advantageous information according to the degree of expectation of each mark in one game during the precursor game period. It is possible to select and allocate the reserved ball mark over the whole period of the 16 game precursor game period. As the holding display body, various characters, characters, and the like can be used in addition to the holding ball mark.

  The degree of expectation of the reserved ball marks H1 to H4 is divided into an ultrahigh expectation degree, a high expectation degree, a medium expectation degree, and a low expectation degree in the order of H1 to H4. When the reserved ball mark H1 with an extremely high degree of expectation is displayed, notification of the ART game grant confirmation (so-called iron plate notification) can be executed. In the present embodiment, the reserved ball mark H1 provides notification of grant confirmation, so that it can be selected only once during the precursor game period, but a plurality may be selectable.

  When the holding ball mark H2 is displayed, a lottery of whether or not the grant confirmation notification is possible is performed with the notification lottery probability (1/3), and the grant confirmation notification can be executed when winning. If a notice of grant confirmation is not won at the time of displaying the holding ball mark H2, an expectation display of “80%” can be executed instead. When the holding ball mark H3 is displayed, the notification of grant confirmation can be executed with the notification lottery probability (1/16). If the notice of grant has not been won at the time of displaying the holding ball mark H3, an expectation display of “40%” can be executed instead. When the holding ball mark H4 is displayed, the notification of grant confirmation can be executed with the notification lottery probability (1/16). When the notice of grant is not won at the time of displaying the holding ball mark H4, an expectation display of “10%” can be executed instead. A white ball mark (empty mark) can be displayed when one game in the preceding game period is not won for the allocation of the reserved ball mark. Any of the reserved ball marks H1 to H4 can be allocated corresponding to each game in the precursor game period, and the player's expectation can be enhanced in the order of the reserved ball marks H1 to H4.

The determination of the hold display body pattern is executed by lottery based on the lottery table of (29A) (step S271). The allocation of the reserved ball mark is executed for each game in the precursor game period. The lottery table of (29A) is composed of assigned lottery values in which the probable gaming period is divided into four sections and the allocation probabilities differ in each section. However, the ultra-high accuracy holding ball mark H1 can be assigned with a lottery probability of 1/64 in common to all sections. When the reserved ball mark H1 is determined, the ultra-high accuracy selection flag is turned on, and the allocation of the reserved ball mark H1 is not performed in the subsequent allocation (steps S272, S273, and S275). For example, the reserved ball mark H2 can be assigned with a lottery probability of 1/16 in the first division 1 (1st to 4th games), but the allocation rate is improved to 1/8 in the divisions 2-4. Yes.

  (29B) of FIG. 29 shows the lottery table used for the pseudo hold display body pattern determination process at the time of the pseudo hold display effect. The pseudo hold display body pattern determination is executed in the same manner as the above hold display body pattern determination. However, in the lottery table of (29B), the allocation of the ultra-high accuracy hold ball mark H1 is not performed for a pseudo effect. The determined hold indicator pattern data is set in the corresponding area of the sub RAM 203 as hold indicator data corresponding to each of the 16 games. Instead of the pattern determination process, any one of the patterns may be determined based on the stored pattern data of a plurality of predetermined hold display body patterns predetermined for each of the 16 games.

  When the allocation of the holding ball mark is executed for every game in the precursor game period, the holding display body pattern determination process is ended (step S274). (28A) of FIG. 28 shows four holding display body pattern determination examples HP1 to HP4. On-hold display body pattern determination example HP1 shows a on-hold display body pattern in which the hold ball mark H4 is assigned to each of the sections 1 to 3, and the hold ball mark H1 is assigned to the eighth game of the section 2. The reserved display body pattern determination example HP2 shows a reserved display body pattern in which the reserved ball mark H2 is assigned to the seventh game of the section 2 and the reserved ball mark H1 is assigned to the 14th game of the section 4. The on-hold display body pattern determination example HP3 shows the on-hold display body pattern in which the on-hold ball mark H3 is continuously assigned to the 10th and 11th games in the section 3. The on-hold display body pattern determination example HP4 shows a on-hold display body pattern in which only three on-hold ball marks H4 are assigned. On the display screen 3a, four hold display bodies in the first section 1 are displayed, and as one display (including an empty mark) is erased for each game, the hold ball mark becomes 1 in order of sections 2-4. Added one by one.

  FIG. 30 shows an expectation notification process executed based on the hold display body pattern during the precursor game period. This expectation degree notification process can be executed in the hold display effect process when the AT flag is on. Also in the pseudo hold display effect process, the expectation degree notification process similar to the expectation degree notification process of FIG. 30 can be executed while the pseudo precursor notification effect flag is on.

(31A) of FIG. 31 shows a display example of the display screen 3a when entering the precursor game period. This display example shows a display state in which four hold display bodies in the first section 1 are displayed on the display screen 3a in the case of the hold display body pattern determination example HP1.
The type of the earliest hold display is determined according to the progress of the game during the precursor game period (steps S280 and S281). Next, expectation notification according to the type of the earliest hold indicator is executed (step S282). In the case of the display example (31A), it is an empty mark, and the expectation notification is not executed. When the holding ball mark H1 is established, the ART game grant confirmation is notified. Further, when the reserved ball marks H2 to H4 are used, the determination of granting of the ART game is notified based on the fact that the grant determination notification availability lottery is won. (31B) of FIG. 31 shows a display example of one of the assignment confirmation displays. Although omitted in FIG. 30, once the grant confirmation display is performed, the grant confirmation display is maintained until the end of the precursor game period, and the expectation notification process by the subsequent holding display body is not executed, When the game is shifted to the ART game, the ART game start display shown in (31C) is performed. In addition, when the ART game grant confirmation notification is not generated during the precursor game period, the grant confirmation notification can be executed through a surprise effect after the precursor game period ends.

  If the grant confirmation notification availability lottery is not won at the time of the holding ball marks H2 to 4, an expectation display according to the type of the holding ball marks H2 to 4 is performed. (31D) of FIG. 31 shows an example of an expectation display of “40%” when the notification of the confirmation of grant in the reserved ball mark H3 is not won. When the expectation notification process is completed for one hold display object, the processed hold display object is deleted from the screen, and when there is a remaining hold display object, additional display is performed (steps S283 to S285). The expectation level notification process ends when the harbinger game period of 16 games is exhausted.

  According to the present embodiment, in the spinning type gaming machine A that is allowed to shift to the ART gaming state related to the grant determination through the precursor game period, the advantage provision information of the ART grant in the precursor game period by the information provision determination means (step S254) In accordance with the determination of the provision of the advantageous information by the advantageous information providing means (steps S281 to S283), in a display mode (holding display body pattern) according to the possibility of transition to the ART gaming state The advantage information can be provided by displaying a plurality of hold display bodies and invalidating the hold display bodies one by one for each game. Therefore, in the spinning-type gaming machine A, a variety of on-hold display patterns appear to realize a notification mode in which a sense of expectation for granting an ART gaming state over a long-term game is sustainable. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

  In the above-described embodiment, the advantage information can be provided for one game in the precursor game period per one holding display body. However, it is effective to provide the advantage information over a plurality of games by one holding display body. can do. In addition, although the game information regarding whether or not an ART game is given is used as the advantageous information, the present invention can also be applied to providing game information about whether or not a bonus game is acquired. A plurality of the hold display bodies may be made erasable without being invalidated (erased) one by one. As the invalidation mode, in addition to screen erasing, a mode of adding a cross mark, monochrome discoloration, or the like can be used.

  If the ART game grant notification is not generated by the time the 15 games of the precursor game period are consumed and there is no holding ball mark H1 in the final game, the game is switched to the holding ball mark H1 in the final game when the AT flag is on. It may be possible. Furthermore, the remaining period of the precursor game period may be shortened immediately after the grant confirmation notification is executed in the middle of the precursor game period, and the ART preparation mode may be immediately transferred.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and includes various modifications and design changes within the technical scope without departing from the technical idea of the present invention. Needless to say.

  The present invention is particularly suitable for a swivel game machine to which privilege games such as AT games and ART games can be given.
