Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a plurality of reels having a plurality of symbols drawn on the peripheral surface, and a display window for displaying a part of the symbols drawn on the peripheral surfaces of the plurality of reels, the game value such as a medal by the player A gaming machine (a so-called “pachi-slot”) in which symbols are stopped and displayed on the display window by rotating all reels based on the loading operation and starting operation on the start lever, and stopping each reel based on the stop button operation by the player. )It has been known. Such a gaming machine is a player when a predetermined combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on a predetermined line (hereinafter referred to as “effective line”) among symbols displayed on the display window. A privilege (for example, a medal) is given to.

  In addition, such a gaming machine detects the operation of the start lever by the player, extracts a predetermined random number value based on the detection of the operation of the start lever, and extracts the extracted random number value for each winning combination. The winning combination is determined based on the winning combination determination table in which the lottery value is defined, and reel stop control is performed based on the determined winning combination and the stop button operation by the player. Here, depending on the determined winning combination, it may be permitted to display a plurality of symbol combinations on the active line among predetermined symbol combinations.

  At this time, when “losing” is determined as the winning combination, a combination of symbols that can receive a privilege is not displayed regardless of the operation of the stop button at any timing. In addition, if the stop button is not operated at an appropriate timing, the winning combination will not be displayed on the active line in combination with the winning combination, or if the stop button is operated at any timing, There is a winning combination in which such a combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the active line.

  In other words, if the winning combination is determined as a winning combination that does not stop and display the combination of symbols related to the winning combination unless the stop button is operated at the appropriate timing, the stop operation is performed at the appropriate timing. Since it is necessary to do this, the player is required to have a certain skill regarding the operation of the stop button.

  Further, in such a gaming machine, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in a normal state that is disadvantageous to the player, a state that is advantageous to the player compared to the normal state (hereinafter referred to as “special game”). Control to shift to "state" is performed. Here, the “special game state” is a bonus that increases the probability that a combination of symbols from which medals are paid out (hereinafter referred to as “combination of symbols related to winning a prize”) is displayed on the active line compared to the normal state. Winning a game ("RB (regular bonus)", "BB (big bonus)", "CB (challenge bonus)", "MB (middle bonus)", etc.) or operating the stop button in an appropriate sequence of operations The winning symbol combination is not displayed (or the winning symbol combination is displayed if the stop button is not operated in the proper operation order). In the case of “AT (assist time)” in which an appropriate stop button operation order is notified, the start lever is operated without performing the medal insertion operation. Re-game the player is started there is to improve the probability that is determined "RT (replay time)", AT and RT is activated at the same time "ART (assisted replay time)" or the like as a winning combination by the. Therefore, the player plays a game while desiring to shift to a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player.

  In such a gaming machine, whether or not a special game state such as an AT game is won is notified by operating all the stop buttons and operating the effect buttons after all the reels stop. There was a gaming machine (for example, Patent Document 1).

  With such a configuration, the player is provided with the pleasure of operating the effect buttons after operating all the stop buttons, so that it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

A reel rotation control means for performing control, a stop operation detection means provided for each of the plurality of reels for detecting a stop operation by a player, and the stop operation detected by the stop operation detection means. And a stop control means for stopping the reel rotated by the reel rotation control means based on the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means, and a player An operation accepting means for accepting an operation different from the start operation and the stop operation, and transition to a special game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. A special gaming state transition determining means for determining whether or not the special gaming state transition determining means determines whether or not to shift to the special gaming state, and the stop operation detecting means determines all of the plurality of reels. After the stop operation of the reel is detected, a decision result notifying means for notifying based on the fact that the operation accepting means has accepted the operation and a transition to the special gaming state are determined by the special gaming state transition determining means. If the stop operation detecting means detects any of the stop operations, the determination result notifying means performs the notification. Before, it is characterized in that and a confirmation notification unit for reporting to the transition to the special game state.

  Here, the “operation receiving means” may be anything as long as it performs an operation not related to the game start operation and the game stop operation. For example, an effect button or a cross key operation button may be used.

  Further, “establishment of the predetermined condition” may be any condition as long as it is a predetermined condition. For example, a predetermined number of games may be played as “satisfying a predetermined condition”, or winning a specific winning combination may be set as “satisfying a predetermined condition”. In addition, winning a transition lottery performed by winning a predetermined winning combination may be “establishment of a predetermined condition”.

  Further, the “special gaming state advantageous to the player” may be any gaming state as long as it is a gaming state advantageous to the player compared to the normal gaming state. For example, a bonus game, an AT game, an RT game, or an ART game can be applied.

  In addition, the “normal game state” may be any game state as long as the game state is disadvantageous for the player as compared to the special game state.

  Further, the “determination result notifying unit” may be any device as long as it notifies the determination result. For example, a liquid crystal display device, dots, LEDs, lamps, sound output by a speaker, or the like can be applied.

  Further, the “determining notification means” may be any device as long as it notifies the transition to the special gaming state. For example, a liquid crystal display device, dots, LEDs, lamps, sound output by a speaker, or the like can be applied.

(Relationship between winning role, stop button operation order, winnings, etc.)
Next, based on FIG. 9, the relationship between the winning combination, the operation sequence of the stop button, and winnings will be described.

  In FIG. 9, the winning number corresponding to the winning combination, the winning combination, the condition device corresponding to the winning combination, whether or not each game state can be determined as the winning combination, and the operation order can be displayed on the active line. The relationship with the combination of symbols is shown.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the condition device to be operated varies depending on the determined winning combination. For example, if the “second RT transition replay A” with the winning number “01” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, the conditional devices that will be activated are “REP01”, “REP02”, “REP03”. , “REP04”, “REP05”, “REP06”, and “REP07”. That is, when the “second RT transition replay A” of the winning number “01” is determined as the winning combination, “the combination of symbols related to the first normal replay”, “the combination of symbols related to the second normal replay”, “the first combination” It is allowed to display on the active line the “combination of symbols related to 3 normal replay”, “combination of symbols related to fourth normal replay”, and “combination of symbols related to second RT gaming state transition replay”.

  In this embodiment, even if the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are operated at the same symbol position, the player operates the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13. Depending on the order, winning combinations with different combinations of symbols on the active line are provided. For example, if the “second RT transition replay A” with the winning number “01” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, the conditional devices that will be activated are “REP01”, “REP02”, “REP03”. , “REP04”, “REP05”, “REP06”, and “REP07”. In this case, when the left stop button 11 is operated for the first time, “a combination of symbols related to the second RT gaming state transition replay” is displayed on the active line. On the other hand, when the middle stop button 12 is operated for the first time or when the right stop button 13 is operated for the first time, “a combination of symbols related to the first normal replay” and “a combination of symbols related to the second normal replay”. , “A combination of symbols related to the third normal replay” and “a combination of symbols related to the fourth normal replay” are displayed on the active line.

  Further, in the present embodiment, winning combinations having different combinations of symbols arranged on the active line are provided depending on the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 by the player. For example, when the “push order bell A1” of the winning number “20” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, the conditional devices that are activated are “NML01”, “NML05”, “NML09”. , “NML11”, “NML15”, “NML16”, “NML21”, “NML22”, “NML26”, “NML28”, “NML29”, “NML30”. In this case, when the left stop button 11 is first operated, then the middle stop button 12 is operated, and the right stop button 13 is finally operated, the “combination of symbols relating to the first correct bell”, or “Combination of symbols related to second correct answer bell” or “Combination of symbols related to third correct answer bell” is displayed on the active line. On the other hand, when the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are operated in another operation order, the “combination of symbols related to the first failure bell” or “the symbol of the fifth failure bell” “Combination”, “Combination of symbols related to 9th failure bell”, “Combination of symbols related to 11th failure bell”, “Combination of symbols related to 15th failure bell”, or “Combination of 16th failure bell” "Combination of symbols", "Combination of symbols related to 21st failure bell", "Combination of symbols related to 22nd failure bell", or "Combination of symbols related to 26th failure bell" is displayed on the active line The

  On the other hand, a winning combination is provided in which the combination of symbols arranged on the active line does not differ regardless of the order of operation of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13. For example, when the “first BB” of the winning number “35” is determined as the winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, the conditional device that is activated is “RBB01”. In this case, regardless of the order in which the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are operated, the “combination of symbols related to the first BB” can be displayed on the active line. If the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are operated at the timing, the “combination of symbols related to the first BB” is displayed on the active line.

  In addition, the operating order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is the order of the RB operating bell of the winning number “12” and the common bell of the winning number “13”. However, it is positioned as a winning combination where the combination of symbols on the active line does not differ. That is, the operating order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is the order of the RB operating bell of the winning number “12” and the common bell of the winning number “13”. In addition, “a combination of symbols related to the bell” can be displayed on the effective line.

(ART status transfer lottery table)
Next, the ART state transition lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The ART state transition lottery table is provided in the main ROM 302 and is provided for performing a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “ART state”. Here, in this embodiment, the ART state transition lottery table is used when performing a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “ART state” in the “normal state” or any “bonus internal middle state”. RBB1 used when performing a lottery on whether to shift to the “ART state” in the normal state / bonus internal / middle state ART state transition lottery table (see FIG. 19A) and “RBB1 bonus state”. ART state transition for RBB2 bonus state used when performing a lottery on whether or not to shift to the “ART state” in the “ART state transition lottery table for bonus state” (see FIG. 19B) and “RBB2 bonus state”. It is composed of a lottery table (see FIG. 19C). Further, in the ART state transition lottery table, a lottery value that will shift to the “ART state” is defined for each winning combination. For example, in the “normal state”, when “watermelon” with the winning number “14” is determined as the winning combination, it is determined to shift to the “ART state” with a probability of “1/256”. In FIG. 19A, the bonus internal medium state is configured such that the RBB1 bonus internal medium state and the RBB2 bonus internal medium state are collectively drawn with a common lottery value. The state may perform a lottery for shifting to the “ART state” with a lottery value that is more advantageous than the RBB2 bonus internal state, and the RBB2 bonus internal state is more advantageous than the RBB1 bonus internal state. The lottery value may be used for a lottery to shift to the “ART state”. In FIG. 19B and FIG. 19C, the lottery value is more advantageous in the RBB2 bonus state than in the RBB1 bonus state, but the lottery value may be the same. However, the lottery value may be more advantageous when the RBB1 bonus state is set than when the RBB2 bonus state is set.

(ART state extra lottery table)
Next, the ART state addition lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The ART state extra lottery table is provided in the main ROM 302 and is provided for performing a lottery on whether or not to add (add) the number of games that can be played in the ART state. The ART state extra lottery table includes the ART ready state, the ART ready state / ART state (see FIG. 20A) referred to in the ART state, and the ART bonus referred to in the ART bonus state. For state (see FIG. 20B). For example, in the ART state, when “Watermelon” with the winning number “14” is determined as the winning combination, “10” game is determined as the additional number of games by “6/256”, and “6 “/ 256” determines the “20” game as the additional game number, “6/256” determines the “30” game as the additional game number, and “2/256” determines the additional game number as “50”. The game is determined, “100” game is determined as the number of additional games at “1/256”, and “200” game and “300” game are not determined. Similarly, in the ART state, when “weak cherry” with the winning number “15” is determined as the winning combination, or “strong cherry” with the winning number “16” is determined as the winning combination, If “chance eye A” of the winning number “17” is determined, and if “chance eye B” of the winning number “18” is determined as the winning role, then the “chance eye” of the winning number “19” is selected as the winning role Even when “C” is determined, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to add (add) the number of games that can be played in the ART state. Note that the lottery value may be arbitrarily changed. Here, in this embodiment, adding (adding) the number of games that can be played in the ART state constitutes extending the game period in the special game state of the present invention.

(Bonus grant determination table)
Next, the privilege grant determination table will be described based on FIG.

  The privilege grant determination table is provided in the main ROM 302. In the “ART state”, “push order bell” or “push order replay” is determined in a plurality of consecutive games, and the plurality of consecutive It is provided to give a privilege to the player when the operation order related to “push order bell” or “push order replay” in the game is the same operation order. For example, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “1” game in the “ART state”, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “2” game, and “push order bell A1” is determined for the “3” game. When “order bell A1” is determined, the number of games that can be played in the “ART state” is given as a privilege to be given to the player. In this case, since the operation order of “left” → “middle” → “right” of “push order bell A1” is determined continuously for “3” games, a privilege is given. Also, “first RT transition replay A” is determined for the “1” game in “ART state”, “first RT transition replay A” is determined for the “2” game, and “3” game When “first RT transition replay A” is determined, the number of games that can be played in the “ART state” is given as a privilege to be given to the player. In this case, since the operation order of “left” → “middle” → “right” of “first RT transition replay A” is determined continuously for “3” games, a privilege is given.

  Note that the same winning combination may be continued, and different winning combinations may be mixed. For example, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “1” game in “ART state”, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “2” game, When “1RT transfer replay A” is determined, the number of games that can be played in the “ART state” is given as a privilege to be given to the player. In this case, the operation order of “left” → “middle” → “right” of “push order bell A1” and “left” → “middle” → “right” of “first RT transition replay A”. Since the “3” games are determined in succession, a privilege is given. In FIG. 21, only some combinations are shown, and all combinations are omitted. Note that, as shown in FIG. 21, not only the same operation sequence continues for “3” games, but also for the winning combination, when the same winning combination continues for “3” games, the same operation order is “3”. The privilege given to the player is greater than when the game is continued. For example, when “3” games are played for “push order bell A1”, “10” games are given as “26/256” as the number of games that can be played in the ART state, and “50/256” is given. Thus, “20” games are given as the number of games that can be played in the ART state, and “30” games are given as the number of games that can be played in the ART state at “80/256”, and “100/256”. , “50” game is given as the number of games that can be played in the ART state, whereas “push order bell A1” is determined for “1” game, and “2” game When “push order bell A1” is determined and “first RT transition replay A” is determined for the “3” game, the number of games that can be played in the ART state is “128/256”. “10” game is awarded, “64/256” is the number of games that can be played in the ART state, “20” game is awarded, and “32/256” is the number of games that can be played in the ART state. The “30” game is awarded, and “32/256” is awarded the “50” game as the number of games that can be played in the ART state.

  With this configuration, it can be noted whether or not the same operation sequence continues over a plurality of games in the ART state. Moreover, since the privilege given to a player becomes larger when the same winning combination and the same operation order are continued, the winning combination can be noted together with the operation order. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being operated only in accordance with the notified operation sequence.

  Further, the privilege to be given to the player is not limited to the number of games that can be played in the ART state shown in FIG. For example, in the ART state, the low probability ART state and the high probability ART state are provided, and the ART state is more stable when staying in the high probability ART state than when staying in the low probability ART state. The number of games that can be played in the game is configured to be high, and as shown in FIG. 21, when different winning combinations are mixed and the same operation sequence is continued over a plurality of games, When the same operation sequence is continued, the low probability ART state may be shifted to the high probability ART state. As in FIG. 21, when the same winning combination and the same operation order are continued, different winning combinations are mixed, and the stay period is longer than when the same operation order is continued over a plurality of games. You may make it transfer to a high probability ART state. Thereby, the effect similar to the effect acquired by the structure of FIG. 21 is acquired.

  The operation order history may be displayed using the liquid crystal display device 31 or the like, and the operation order history for the “3” game shown in FIG. 21 is always confirmed. Thereby, it becomes easy for a player to confirm what kind of operation sequence is continuing, and it can improve a game interest. If “Push Order Bell” is selected, the operation order history is displayed in yellow. If “Push Order Replay” is selected, the operation order history is displayed in blue. The history of winning combination may be shown together with the history of. Thereby, in addition to what operation order is continued, it is possible to confirm what winning combination is continued.

  Also, for example, in the ART state, when the low probability ART state and the high probability ART state are provided and the low probability ART state is controlled, the benefit is provided on the condition that the same operation sequence continues for “3” games. When the high-probability ART state is controlled, it is also possible to configure so as to give a privilege on condition that the same operation sequence is “2” games continuous. As a result, the high-probability ART state can be positioned as an advantageous state, and even if it is the ART state, pay attention to the player whether they are staying in the low-probability ART state or the high-probability ART state. Can be made. The transition from the low-probability ART state to the high-probability ART state may be made with a predetermined number of games, or when the winning number “14” to the winning number “19” is won. May be. In addition, the transition from the high probability ART state to the low probability ART state may be performed by a predetermined number of games, or may be performed by performing a lottery for each game and winning the transition lottery. .

  Note that the operation order actually operated by the player does not matter as long as the same operation order is determined in a plurality of consecutive games. For example, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “1” game in the “ART state”, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “2” game, and “push order bell A1” is determined for the “3” game. When the order bell A1 is determined, the “1” game and the “2” game are operated in the order of “left” → “middle” → “right”, but the “3” game As the operation order, a privilege may be given even when the operation is performed in the order of “left” → “right” → “middle” (operation in the wrong operation order).

  On the other hand, in the plurality of consecutive games, the same operation order is determined, but when the operation order actually operated by the player is different, the privilege may not be given. For example, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “1” game in the “ART state”, “push order bell A1” is determined for the “2” game, and “push order bell A1” is determined for the “3” game. When the order bell A1 is determined, the “1” game and the “2” game are operated in the order of “left” → “middle” → “right”, but the “3” game When the operation order is “left” → “right” → “middle”, the privilege is not given. Thereby, a player can be concentrated on a game.

Specifically, the sub CPU 401 refers to the sub ART state game number counter provided in the sub RAM 403 and determines whether or not the value of the sub side ART state game number counter is “5” or less. Processing to determine is performed. If it is determined that the value of the sub-art state game number counter is “5” or less (step S302-3-2-15 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S302-3-2-16. If it is determined that the value of the sub ART state game number counter is not equal to or smaller than “5” (step S302-3-2-15 = No), the ART related command-specific subroutine is terminated. Then, the process proceeds to step S302-3-3 of the command analysis process.

(Step S302-3-2-16)
In step S <b> 302-3-2-16, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of determining whether or not there is an added game number in the post notification storage area. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of determining whether or not the number of added games is stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403. If it is determined that the number of added games in the post-notification storage area is stored (step S302-3-2-16 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S302-3-2-17. If it is determined that the number of added games in the post-notification storage area is not stored (step S302-3-2-16 = No), the ART related command-specific processing subroutine is terminated, and the command analysis processing step The process proceeds to S302-3-3.

(Step S302-3-2-17)
In step S302-3-2-17, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of updating the sub-side ART state game number counter. Specifically, when the number of added games is stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403, the sub CPU 401 displays a sub-side ART state game number counter provided in the sub RAM 403. Update (add) is performed. For example, when the sub-side ART state game number counter is “5” and the added game number is “100”, the sub-side ART state game number counter provided in the sub-RAM 403 is stored. “100” is added to “105” to make “105”. Then, when the process of step S302-3-2-17 ends, the process proceeds to step S302-3-2-18.

(Step S302-3-2-18)
In step S302-3-2-18, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for designating a notification effect corresponding to the number of added games. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of designating a notification effect corresponding to the number of games added in step S302-3-2-17 and a notification effect corresponding to the number of games after the addition. For example, when the number of added games is “100” games, a notification effect corresponding to the number of added games is designated so that a display image such as “+100 games” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. As a display of the number of remaining ART games, a process of designating a notification effect is performed so that a display image such as “105 games” is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. Then, when the process of step S302-3-2-2-18 ends, the ART related command-specific subroutine is ended, and the process proceeds to step S302-3-3 of the command analysis process.

  In addition, the value in step S302-3-2-2-12, step S302-3-2-2-13, and step S302-3-2-15 can be changed suitably. However, it is an indispensable condition that the value in step S302-3-2-12 is larger than the value in step S302-3-2-15.

  Here, in step S302-3-2-18, the sub CPU 401 notifies the added game number and the game stored in the post notification storage area in step S302-3-2-6, that is, the ART state additional lottery. You may alert | report the game won by the process. For example, it is possible to notify that “winning in the 10th game in the ART state”. Thereby, even if a post-notification is performed, the player can grasp which game in the ART state is won. Further, the sub CPU 401 may notify the winning combination when the ART state is added and the lottery process is won together with the notification of the number of added games. For example, it can be notified that “winning with strong cherry”. Thereby, even if a post-notification is performed, the player can grasp which winning combination is won. Further, the sub CPU 401 may notify a combination of the game won in the ART state extra lottery process and which winning combination was won at that time. For example, it is possible to notify that “Winning with strong cherry on 10th game in ART state” or the like.

  In FIG. 52, if it is determined in step S302-3-2-10 that the continuous effect counter is not “0”, that is, if a continuous effect is being executed, step S302-3-2 is executed. 12 is not shifted to the process. That is, when the continuous effect is being executed when the value of the sub-side ART state game number counter is “100”, for example, the value of the sub-side ART state game number counter and the sub RAM 403 are provided. After that, even if the sum of the added game number stored in the notification storage area exceeds “100”, the ART remaining game number display mode may not be switched. As a result of this, when the value of the sub-side ART state game number counter becomes “100”, the display of the ART remaining game number display mode is not performed, and the post-notification is performed. It is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that there is no additional game number.

Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of determining whether or not switching of the ART remaining game number display mode is designated in the process of step S302-3-2-214 in FIG. If it is determined that switching of the ART remaining game number display mode is designated (step S302-3-6-1 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S302-3-6-2, and ART is executed. If it is determined that switching of the remaining game number display mode is not designated (step S302-3-6-1 = No), the process proceeds to step S302-3-6-3.

(Step S302-3-6-2)
In step S302-3-6-2, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for determining image data. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for determining image data for switching the ART remaining game number display mode. For example, the image data to be switched from the numerical display of the “100” game to the display of the Chinese character “the ninety-nine” game is determined. Thereby, on the liquid crystal display device 31, for example, an image for switching from a numerical display of “100” game to a Chinese character display of “multiplication game” is displayed. When the process of step S302-3-6-2 ends, the image data determination process subroutine ends, and the process proceeds to step S303 of the main process in the sub control board.

  That is, in the process of step S302-3-2-212 in FIG. 52, the sub-art state game number counter is “100”, and in the process of step S302-3-2-13 in FIG. When it is determined that the sum of the value of the ART state game number counter and the value of the number of added games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 exceeds “100” The ART remaining game number display mode on the liquid crystal display device 31 is switched from, for example, the display of the number “100” game to the Chinese character display of the “Ninety-nine” game, and the value of the sub-side ART state game number counter In the case where the sum total of the number of added games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 does not exceed “100”, If, from the display by the number "100" game, display by the number "99" game is configured so as not to be changed. Thereby, for example, when the display of the number “100” game is switched to the display of the Chinese character “Kyukyu” game, the sub-side ART state game number counter becomes “5” or less. It is possible to make the player recognize that the post notification is performed (the post notification is performed and the number of games is added).

(Step S302-3-6-3)
In step S302-3-6-3, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for determining image data in other cases. Specifically, when the switching of the ART remaining game number display mode is not designated, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for determining image data in other cases. For example, when the ART state of the “40” game is started, the image data “40 game” is determined, and when the addition game is the “10” game, the image data “+10 game” is determined. As a result, an image “40 games” and an image “+10 games” are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. When the process of step S302-3-6-3 ends, the image data determination process subroutine ends, and the process proceeds to step S303 of the main process in the sub control board.

(Step S306-1)
In step S306-1, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for determining whether or not the effect button sensor has detected. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for determining whether or not an input indicating that the operation of the effect button 21 is detected from the effect button sensor 21s. And when it determines with the detection by an effect button sensor having been performed (step S306-1 = Yes), it transfers to a process to step S306-2, and it determines with the detection by an effect button sensor not being performed. In that case (step S306-1 = No), the process proceeds to step S306-5.

(Step S306-2)
In step S <b> 306-2, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of determining whether or not the winning notification effect is set. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 is designated in step S302-3-1-6 of the game-related command processing in FIG. 51, and the winning notification effect in step S302-3-9-9 of the sub effect determination processing in FIG. Processing for determining whether (notification pattern “1”) is set is performed. Details will be described later with reference to FIG. 58, but the notification pattern “1” is displayed on the effect button 21 after “first stop”, “second stop”, and “third stop”. It is a notification pattern for performing notification by operating. When it is determined that the winning notification effect is set (step S306-2 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S306-3, and when it is determined that the winning notification effect is not set. (Step S306-2 = No), the process proceeds to Step S306-4.

(Step S306-3)
In step S306-3, the sub CPU 401 performs notification effect execution processing. Specifically, when the effect button 21 is operated and the winning notification effect (notification pattern “1”) is determined, the sub CPU 401 has the winning numbers “35” to “47” as the winning combination. An effect for notifying that one of them has won is executed. For example, in the liquid crystal display device 31, display of an image such as “bonus winning!”, Lighting of the LED 32 in a rainbow color, output of sound effects from the speaker 33, and the like are assumed as executed effects. When the processing in step S306-3 is completed, the subroutine for detecting various switches is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S302 of the main processing in the sub control board.

(Step S306-4)
In step S306-4, the sub CPU 401 performs an effect button reception process. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 executes processing when the winning notification effect is not set when the effect button 21 is operated. For example, processing when the effect button 21 is operated as the determination button when the player selects the effect is performed. When the notification pattern “0” is determined, a loss notification effect that is not won in the bonus in the processing is executed. When the processing in step S306-4 is completed, the subroutine for detecting various switches is ended, and the process proceeds to step S302 of the main processing in the sub control board.

(Step S306-5)
In step S306-5, the sub CPU 401 performs another switch detection process. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs processing when another switch different from the effect button sensor 21s is detected. For example, when the cross key sensor 22s is detected, the processing when the cross key sensor 22s is detected is performed. When the processing in step S306-5 is completed, the subroutine for detecting various switches is ended, and the process proceeds to step S302 in the main processing on the sub control board.

(First example of processing related to ART-related commands)
Next, based on FIG. 56, a first alternative example of the ART-related command-specific processing of FIG. 52 will be described. Since FIG. 56 is another example of the subroutine related to the ART related command, only the parts different from FIG. 52 will be described.

(Step S302-3-2-231)
In step S <b> 302-3-2-31, the sub CPU 401 performs a process of determining whether or not the number of ART state playable games exceeds “100”. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 sets the sum of the value of the sub ART state game number counter and the value of the added game number stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 to “100”. A process for determining whether or not the number is exceeded is performed. If it is determined that the number of games that can be played in the ART state exceeds “100” (step S302-3-2-21 = Yes), the ART related command-specific subroutine is terminated and command analysis is performed. If the process proceeds to step S302-3-3 of the process and it is determined that the number of ART state playable games does not exceed “100” (step S302-3-2-31 = No), step The processing moves to S302-3-2-22. Then, in the process of step S302-3-2-22, switching of the ART remaining game number display mode is designated.

  Thus, according to the first alternative example, in the process of step S302-3-2-30 in FIG. 56, the sub-side ART state game number counter is “100”, and step S302- in FIG. In the process of 3-2-31, the sum of the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the value of the added game number stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 is “100”. If it is determined that the number is exceeded, the ART remaining game number display mode on the liquid crystal display device 31 does not change, for example, from the display of the number “100” game to the number “99” game. And the sum of the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the value of the added game number stored in the post-notification storage area provided in the sub-RAM 403. There If it is determined not to exceed the "100", for example, from the display by number "100" game configured to be switched to the display of the Chinese character "ninety-nine" game. As a result, for example, when the display of the number “99” game does not change from the display of the number “100” game, the post-notification is made when the sub-side ART state game number counter becomes “5” or less. Can be made to be recognized by the player (post-notification is performed and the number of games is added).

(Second example of processing related to ART-related commands)
Next, a second alternative example of the ART-related command-specific processing of FIG. 52 will be described based on FIG. Since FIG. 57 is another example of the subroutine related to the ART related command, only the parts different from FIG. 52 will be described.

(Step S302-3-2-245)
In step S302-3-2-245, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for subtracting the continuous effect counter. Specifically, the sub CPU 401 performs processing for subtracting the continuous effect counter set in the sub RAM 403. Then, when the process of step S302-3-2-245 ends, the process proceeds to step S302-3-2-246. In step S302-3-2-246, it is determined whether or not the sub-side ART state game number counter is “100”.

  As described above, according to the second alternative example, the sub-side ART state game number counter becomes “100” during execution of the continuous effect, and the value of the sub-side ART state game number counter and the sub RAM 403 When the sum of the added game number stored in the post notification storage area provided exceeds “100”, the ART remaining game number display mode is switched. Thereby, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the ART remaining game number display mode is switched together with the content (result) of the continuous effect.

(Notification pattern table)
Next, the notification pattern table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The notification pattern table is provided in the sub ROM 402, and is provided for determining the winning notification timing in the processing of step S302-3-3-1 in FIG. 51 described above. As the notification pattern, as shown in FIG. 58 (a), a notification pattern “0”, a notification pattern “1”, a notification pattern “2”, a notification pattern “3”, and a notification pattern “4” are provided. The notification pattern “0” is defined as the notification pattern selected when the bonus is not won, and the notification patterns “1” to “4” are defined as the notification patterns selected when the bonus is selected. In FIG. 58 (a), a location indicated by “win notification” indicates that the bonus has been won, and a location indicated by “−” indicates that notification is not performed. A portion indicated by “←” indicates that “notification” is continuously performed. In any of the notification patterns, when the effect button is pressed after the third stop time is ended, whether the bonus is not won or whether the bonus is won is notified.

  When the start lever 10 is operated, the notification pattern “0” is not won in any winning combination of the winning numbers “35” to “47”, and the stop button is first stopped after the start lever 10 is operated. No notification is made, no notification is given when the stop button is in the second stop, no notification is given when the stop button is in the third stop, and when the effect button is pressed after the third stop. This is a notification pattern for notifying a loss.

  When the start lever 10 is operated, the notification pattern “1” is won by any of the winning numbers “35” to “47” and the stop button is first stopped after the start lever 10 is operated. No notification is given when the stop button is stopped for the second time, no notification is given when the stop button is stopped for the third time, and no notification is given when the effect button is pressed after the third stop. This is a notification pattern informing that the winning combination of any of numbers “35” to “47” has been won.

  When the start lever 10 is operated, the notification pattern “2” is won by one of the winning numbers “35” to “47”, and the stop button is first stopped after the start lever 10 is operated. It is informed that the winning combination of any of the winning numbers “35” to “47” has been won, the notification is continuously performed at the second stop of the stop button, and at the third stop of the stop button. When the effect button is pressed after the third stop and the notification button is pressed, the notification button may be further pressed to perform the notification effect. The notification pattern “3” is notified when the second stop is performed, and the notification pattern “4” is notified when the third stop is performed.

  Note that when the effect button is pressed, it is already informed that the winning combination of any of the winning numbers “35” to “47” has been won. The production may be canceled, and when the production button is pressed, it can be specifically configured to notify whether “first BB” is won or “second BB” is won. . As a result, the notification that the winning combination of any of the winning numbers “35” to “47” has been won and the notification of which “bonus” is specifically won are collected in one game. It is possible to quickly stop and display the “combination of symbols related to the bonus” in the next game. In addition, the notification patterns “2” to “4” are notification patterns in which hit notification is performed at each stop and when the effect button is pressed, but a separate notification pattern for performing hit notification only at each stop is provided. May be.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 58B, each notification pattern is selected with “100%” when the notification pattern “0” is lost (when bonus is not won), and when the notification pattern “1” is hit (bonus) “70%” at the time of winning), the notification pattern “2” is selected at “10%” at the time of winning (at the time of winning the bonus), and the notification pattern “3” is “10” at the time of winning (at the time of winning the bonus). %, And the notification pattern “4” is selected at “10%” at the time of winning (at the time of winning the bonus), which notification pattern is selected using a random number value for notification pattern selection. To decide. The selectivity can be changed as appropriate.

  In the notification pattern “2”, “hit notification” is performed at the first stop, and in the notification pattern “3”, “hit notification” is performed at the second stop. Is configured such that “winning notification” is performed at the time of the third stop, and then “winning” notification is performed as the determination result notification even when the effect button is pressed. Not limited to this, various notification patterns may be provided. For example, when the “winning” notification is performed at any timing of the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop before the timing of the “winning” notification when the effect button is pressed In addition, a notification pattern may be provided that does not notify “winning” when the effect button is pressed (does not generate an effect that prompts the user to press the effect button). More specifically, for example, as the notification pattern “5”, “hit notification” is performed at the time of the first stop, and “hit” notification is not performed when the effect button is pressed (the effect that prompts the user to press the effect button is not generated). ) As a notification pattern or a notification pattern “6”, a “hit notification” is performed at the time of the second stop, and a “hit” notification is not performed when the effect button is pressed (the effect that prompts the user to press the effect button is not generated). Or, as the notification pattern “7”, a “notification notification” is performed at the time of the third stop, and a “winning” notification is not performed when the effect button is pressed (the effect that prompts the user to press the effect button is not generated). You may have.

  In addition, the “RBB2 bonus state” corresponding to “second BB” is more advantageous to the player because the lottery value for shifting to the ART state is higher than the “RBB1 bonus state” corresponding to “first BB”. Therefore, when the “2nd BB” is won, the notification pattern “2”, the notification pattern “3”, or the notification pattern “4” is selected, and the “first BB” is selected. In the case of winning, the notification pattern “5”, the notification pattern “6”, or the notification pattern “7” may be selected. As a result, which “BB” is determined can be grasped from the notification pattern, and when “first BB” which is disadvantageous to the player compared with “second BB” is determined, it is disadvantageous “BB”. Despite being, it is possible to prevent an excessive hit notification such as the notification pattern “2”, the notification pattern “3”, and the notification pattern “4” from being performed. On the other hand, when the “second BB” advantageous to the player compared to the “first BB” is determined, excessive hits such as the notification pattern “2”, the notification pattern “3”, and the notification pattern “4”. By performing the notification, it is possible to give the player a sense of superiority and arouse game motivation.

(Direction conceptual diagram of notification pattern)
Next, based on FIG. 59, an effect conceptual diagram of the notification pattern will be described. Note that the effect concept diagram of FIG. 59 is a diagram for explaining the concept of effect performed together with the execution of each notification pattern of FIG.

  For example, if the notification pattern is “0”, when the effect button is pressed, the effect button 21 is operated after an image prompting the operation of the effect button 21 “Press the effect button!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. Or the fact that a predetermined time has passed without the operation button 21 being operated indicates that the loss notification “cannot be found” is performed. When the button is pressed, the effect button 21 is operated after the image prompting the operation of the effect button 21 “Press the effect button!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31 or the effect button 21 is not operated. Represents that a hit notification effect “discovery!” Is performed based on the fact that a predetermined time has passed, and if the notification pattern is “2”, This indicates that a hit notification effect “discovery!” Is performed on the liquid crystal display device 31 at the time of stoppage. Further, when the effect button is pressed, the liquid crystal display device 31 indicates “Press the effect button!” After the image prompting the operation of the button 21 is displayed, the hit notification effect of “discovery!” Is generated based on the operation of the effect button 21 or the elapse of a predetermined time without the operation button 21 being operated. If the notification pattern is “3”, it means that the hit notification effect “discovery!” Is performed on the liquid crystal display device 31 at the time of the second stop. At the time of pressing, an image prompting the operation of the effect button 21 “Press the effect button!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31, and then the effect button 21 is operated. Or, it means that a hit notification effect “discovery!” Is performed based on the fact that the predetermined time has passed without the operation button 21 being operated, and if the notification pattern is “4”, the third stop At this time, the hit notification effect “Discover!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. Further, when the effect button is pressed, the effect button “Press the effect button!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. After displaying the image prompting the user to operate 21, a hit notification effect of “discovered!” Is performed based on the fact that the effect button 21 has been operated or that a predetermined time has passed without the effect button 21 being operated. It is expressed.

  As described above, at the timing when the effect button is pressed, the determination result of whether or not the bonus is won is notified, and when the bonus is won, the first stop time before the time when the effect button is pressed Since the fact that the bonus is won may be notified at any timing at the time of the third stop, it is possible to prevent the game entertainment from deteriorating without the hit notification being patterned. Also, in the notification pattern “2” to the notification pattern “4”, it is notified that the bonus is won at any stop timing before the time when the effect button is pressed, and the player is notified that the bonus is won. Since the production button 21 is operated after grasping it, the player can have a sense of superiority and press the production button.

  In the notification patterns “1” to “4” in FIG. 59, when the start lever 10 is operated, “when the first stop”, “when the second stop”, “when the third stop”, “pressing the effect button” It is also possible to display a suggestion image suggesting at which timing of “time” the hit notification is performed. For example, when the character image A is displayed when the start lever 10 is operated using the character image, the possibility of the notification pattern “1” is high, and when the character image B is displayed, the notification pattern If the possibility of “2” is high and the character image C is displayed, the possibility of the notification pattern “3” is high. If the character image D is displayed, the possibility of the notification pattern “4” is high. Configure to be Thereby, when the start lever 10 is operated, it is possible to recognize to some extent the operation timing that is highly likely to be notified depending on which suggestion image is displayed, and the operation timing that is highly likely to be notified has arrived. When it is done, it can be operated with more expectation.

(First animation according to this embodiment)
Next, based on FIG. 60, the 1st animation which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. In FIG. 60, when the number of remaining games in the ART state reaches a predetermined number of games, the value of the sub-ART state game number counter is stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403. The figure which shows switching of the display mode of the remaining number of games of the ART state in the case where the sum total with the value of the number of added games exceeds the predetermined number “100” and the case where it does not exceed the predetermined number “100” It is.

  First, FIG. 60A shows a display screen of the liquid crystal display device 31 in the ART state. In the liquid crystal display device 31, an image “ART in progress” indicating that the ART state is present, and an ART state An image of the remaining game “100” indicating the number of remaining games is displayed. In this case, it is shown that “100” games can be played after the ART state, and the display image is based on the value of the ART state game number counter provided in the main RAM 303. Further, the number of remaining games in the ART state being “100” games constitutes that the game period of the present invention is a predetermined game period. In the example of FIG. 60A, displaying the remaining game as “100” as a number constitutes the first display mode of the present invention.

  In FIG. 60B, which is the next game after FIG. 60A, the display of the remaining game “100” is changed to the display of the remaining game “100 tables”. That is, in FIG. 60 (a), the number of remaining games in the ART state is displayed with numbers, and in FIG. 60 (b), the number of remaining games in the ART state is displayed with kanji. That is, the sum of the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the value of the number of additional games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 exceeds the predetermined number “100”. If there is, the display of the number of remaining games in the ART state is switched from the numerical display to the Chinese character display. In the example of FIG. 60 (b), displaying the remaining game in Chinese characters as "Ninety-nine" constitutes the second display mode of the present invention.

  On the other hand, FIG. 60C, which is the next game after FIG. 60A, shows that the display of the remaining game “99” is changed from the display of the remaining game “100”. That is, in FIG. 60 (a), the number of remaining games in the ART state is displayed with numbers, and in FIG. 60 (c), the number of remaining games in the ART state is continuously displayed with numbers. That is, the sum of the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the value of the number of added games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 exceeds a predetermined number “100”. If not, the display of the number of remaining games in the ART state is not switched from the first display mode to the second display mode so as to maintain a numerical display. With such a configuration, the display of the number of remaining games in the ART state in the next game is switched from the first display mode to the second display mode based on the fact that the number of remaining games in the ART state has become “100”. Depending on whether or not, it is possible to indicate to the player whether or not there is an additional game number to be notified in a later game.

In FIG. 61, when the number of remaining games in the ART state reaches a predetermined number of games, the value of the sub-ART state game number counter is stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403. Another example of switching the display mode of the number of remaining games in the ART state when the sum of the added game number exceeds the predetermined number “100” and when the total number does not exceed the predetermined number “100” FIG.

  FIG. 61 is another example of FIG. 60. In FIG. 60, based on the fact that the remaining games in the ART state are “100” games, the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the sub RAM 403 are displayed. If the sum of the number of added games stored in the post-notification storage area provided exceeds a predetermined number “100”, the number of remaining games in the ART state in the next game is displayed. By switching from the first display mode to the second display mode, the value of the sub-side ART state game number counter and the value of the number of additional games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 are displayed. If the sum of the above and the total number does not exceed the predetermined number “100”, the first display mode is maintained, but the remaining game in the ART state has become the “100” game. Based on the above, the sum of the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the value of the number of added games stored in the post-notification storage area provided in the sub-RAM 403 exceeds the predetermined number “100”. If it is, the first display mode is maintained in the next game, the value of the sub-side ART state game number counter and the addition game stored in the post-notification storage area provided in the sub-RAM 403 When the sum total with the number value does not exceed the predetermined number “100”, it may be switched from the first display mode to the second display mode in the next game. That is, from the display in FIG. 61 (a), the sum of the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the value of the number of added games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 is a predetermined number. When “100” is exceeded, in the next game, as shown in FIG. 61 (b), the display of the remaining number of games with the number of remaining games “99” is maintained and the sub-side ART is displayed. When the sum of the value of the state game number counter and the value of the number of added games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub-RAM 403 does not exceed the predetermined number “100”, In the next game, as shown in FIG. 61 (c), it is possible to switch the display to the display of the remaining number of games in the Chinese character “remaining game“ ninety-nine ”. Note that switching from the first display mode to the second display mode is not limited to changing numbers to kanji and kanji to numbers. The display of numbers does not change, but changes in the color that decorates the numbers are applied. Also good. For example, when the remaining game “100” is displayed in gold, the value of the sub-art state game number counter and the value of the number of additional games stored in the post notification storage area provided in the sub RAM 403 are displayed. When the sum of the number exceeds the predetermined number “100”, the gold display is maintained, and the value of the sub-ART state game number counter and the post-notification storage provided in the sub-RAM 403 are stored. If the sum of the added game number stored in the area does not exceed the predetermined number “100”, it is assumed that the color is changed from gold to white. Moreover, although the display of numbers does not change, changing the display size of the numbers may be applied. In either case, the same effects as those described in the example of FIG. 60 are obtained.
