The processing by the payout control means 240 is performed in step S14 (see FIG. 15) described later.

(Game control means 250)
The game control means 250 controls the game state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the game control means 250 is roughly divided into normal game control means 251, RT control means 252, and bonus game control means 253.

(Normal game control means 251)
The normal game control means 251 controls the progress of the “normal game”. Here, “normal game” means a game state other than “RT game” (replay time game) by the RT control means 252 described later and “bonus game” by the bonus game control means 253, which will be described later with reference to FIG. "RT0" and "RT1" are included.

(RT control means 252)
The RT control means 252 controls the progress of the “RT game”. Here, “RT game” includes “RT2” described later with reference to FIG.

(Bonus game control means 253)
The bonus game control means 253 controls a “bonus game” which will be described later with reference to FIG.

(AT control means 260)
The AT control means 260 is for controlling “AT” in the “AT state” and the “ART state”. And the production | generation etc. which alert | report the pushing order of the stop switch 50 using the production | generation control means 320 mentioned later are performed.

Specifically, the AT control means 260 performs a lottery drawing based on the operation of the start switch 40, and in this embodiment, in this embodiment, the BEA1 etc. in which the push order bell combination (BE) is won simultaneously (FIG. 7). When the reference) is won, the operation control unit 320 is used to display the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 on the display device 84 based on the operation of the start switch 40 of the combination lottery.
Similarly, the AT control means 260 uses the information notification control means 270 described later to display the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 on the payout number display 88.

  The “AT state” is also called “assist time”, and when the “AT state” is entered, a game (AT) in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified is started, and a stop switch according to the notified pressing order. By operating 50, the combination of symbols of the selected small role can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out. In the present embodiment, the “AT state” is controlled by the main control means 200 side. At this time, when “RT game” controlled by the RT control means 252 on the main control means 200 side is entered, State. The “ART” state is a game state of “RT game” and “AT state”.

  Although the “AT state” is controlled by the AT control unit 260 arranged on the main control unit 200 side, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub-control unit 300 side controls all or part of the “AT state”. Also good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the AT control unit 260 includes a suggestion effect execution lottery unit 261 when roughly classified.
(Suggested production execution lottery means 261)
The suggestion effect execution lottery means 261 is a lottery performed when the start switch 40 is operated mainly in an “additional stock state” to be described later, and whether or not the suggestion effect suggesting the operation mode of the stop switch 50 is executed. (Suggested effect execution lottery) is performed.
Then, when it is determined to execute the suggestion effect, a signal that causes the suggestion effect execution unit 321 of the sub-control unit 300 to execute the suggestion effect is transmitted using the transmission unit 280.
Here, although the suggestion effect will be described later with reference to FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, a so-called design that is aimed by pressing and the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 is suggested.
In addition, the suggestion effect execution lottery is not limited to the case where the suggestion effect execution lottery is executed in the game in which the suggestion effect execution lottery is performed, and whether or not the suggestion effect is executed in the game of the predetermined game destination. You may make it determine by lottery.

Also, if the suggestion effect execution lottery means 261 decides to execute the suggestion effect, during the suggestion effect, do not notify the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 by the AT control means 260. Yes.
This is because if the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 is notified, the meaning of executing the suggested effect suggesting the operation mode is lost, but during the execution of the suggested effect, the stop switch 50 The operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 may be notified after the suggestion effect is executed without notifying the operation order (push order).

In addition, the suggestion effect execution lottery by the suggestion effect execution lottery means 261 is a special replay 1 role (MDN1-9), a special replay 2 role (MDS1, 2) in the present embodiment among the push forwards by the role lottery, It is set to be performed when the MDF, MD1, and MD2 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) that the winning play combination (MDF1 to MDF3) wins simultaneously are won. When the lottery is won, the operation mode of the correct stop switch 50 which is not a gusset is suggested. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the case where the correct operation mode of the stop switch 50 is suggested, but the operation mode of the incorrect stop switch 50 may be suggested.
Also, in this embodiment, among the push forwards by the role lottery, in the present embodiment, the special replay 1 role (MDN1 to 9), the special replay 2 role (MDS1, 2), and the fake play role (MDF1 to 3) are won simultaneously. When MD1, MD2 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) wins, the suggestion effect may be executed without performing the suggestion effect execution lottery.

In addition, the suggestion effect execution lottery by the suggestion effect execution lottery means 261 is performed by the special replay 1 role (MDN1 to 9), the special replay 2 role (MDS1, 2), and the fake play role (MDF1 to MDF3) simultaneously as described above. Not only when the winning MDF, MD1, MD2 (see FIG. 6 and FIG. 7) are won, but also when the other pushing order is won or when the pushing order is not won Is called. If you win a lottery for a suggestion effect that was won when you were won for another push order, or if you were not won for a push order, you will be informed of the operation mode of the incorrect answer stop switch 50 .
As a result, a predetermined push order (MDF, MD1, MD2 in which special replay 1 role (MDN1-9), special replay 2 role (MDS1, 2), and fake play role (MDF1-3) are won simultaneously) Although it is not, a so-called gasse suggestion effect that allows the player to recognize that it may have been won is possible.
Therefore, when it is decided to execute the suggestion effect by the suggestion effect execution lottery means 261, the AT control means 260 determines the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 using the effect control means 320 during the suggestion effect. I am trying not to notify.
Here, as shown in FIG. 7 to be described later, the pushing order combination is a combination set such that the winning combination (winning) is different depending on the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50.
It should be noted that the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50 may be notified after the execution of the gas suggestion effect.

(Information notification control means 270)
The information notification control means 270 uses the payout number display 88 to display (1) a payout number display for displaying the payout number via the payout control means 240, and (2) an instruction monitor via the AT control means 260. Control is performed to switch and notify the instruction monitor display for instructing the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50.
The information notification control means 270 performs control to display the number of payouts to be paid out in the game based on the data from the payout control means 240 when not in the AT state to be described later. After notifying the operation order (pushing order) of the switch 50, control is performed to display the number of payouts.

  The information notification control means 270 is not limited to the case where the payout number display 88 is used for the payout number display and the instruction monitor display described above, and an error code that can identify the error when an error occurs. May be used for displaying an error code.

As for the above-described (2) instruction monitor display, the information notification control means 270, in the AT state, performs the push order, for example, BEA1 in which the push order bell (BE) is won at the same time by the lottery (see FIG. 7). ), The operation mode, in this embodiment, the operation sequence (pushing sequence) of the stop switch 50 is notified using the payout number display 88.
The notification of the operation mode using the payout number display 88 will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  Further, the timing of notification of the operation mode using the payout number display device 88 will be described later with reference to FIG. 14, but is performed after the suggestion effect.

(Transmission means 280)
The transmission unit 280 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control unit 300.

(Sub-control means 300)
As shown in FIG. 3, the sub-control unit 300 includes a receiving unit 310 and an effect control unit 320. Details of each means will be described later. Although not shown, notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 in the AT state performed by the effect control means 320 may be performed by the main control board 200 by providing another means for the main progress control means 200.

With the above configuration, the sub-control unit 300 receives a signal from the main control unit 200 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.
Specifically, the sub-control unit 300 outputs data defining the turning on and off of LEDs to an LED driving circuit (not shown) for driving the lamp 78, and outputs sound from the speaker 72. Data for defining audio to be output to an audio output circuit (not shown) for output, and video data to be output to a liquid crystal control board (not shown) for driving the display device 84 Or output data to be processed.

(Receiving means 310)
The receiving unit 310 receives a signal from the transmitting unit 280.

(Production control means 320)
The effect control means 320 controls the effects of each effect state shown in FIG. 10 according to the states of the game control means 250 and the AT control means 260.
Further, when a signal for notifying the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is received from the AT control means 260 of the main control means 200, an effect or the like for notifying the operation order (pressing order) of the stop switch 50 is executed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the effect control means 320 includes a suggestion effect execution means 321 when roughly classified.

(Suggested production execution means 321)
The suggestion effect execution means 321 executes the suggestion effect that suggests the operation mode using the display device 84 when it is determined by the suggestion effect execution lottery means 261 when the start switch 40 is operated. is there.

Specifically, when it is determined to execute the suggestion effect at the time of operating the start switch 40, the suggestion effect is executed immediately after receiving the signal according to the signal transmitted from the transmission means 280.
As described above, since communication from the sub control unit 300 to the main control unit 300 is not possible, the suggestion effect execution unit 321 acquires information indicating that the execution of the suggestion effect using the display device 84 has been completed. However, the reception means 310 of the sub-control means 300 displays the signal transmitted from the transmission means 280 of the main control means 200 immediately after reception, so that the operation mode notification means 271 of the main control means 200 displays the payout number display This is because the suggestion effect is completed before the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 using 88 is notified.
The specific contents of the suggestion effect will be described later with reference to FIG.

In addition, when the suggestion effect execution means 321 executes the suggestion effect, the suggestion effect execution means 321 selects a suggestion effect to be executed by lottery depending on whether the winning order is won or not. I try to decide.
Note that the same suggestion effect may be executed regardless of whether or not the winning order is won.

(About the symbol combination of roles)
Next, with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG. 8, the winning combination lottery by the winning lottery means 210 will be described.
Note that the winning combinations drawn by the winning combination lottery means 210 are not limited to those shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4, as bonus transition combinations, there are CB1 of CBX01 to CBX10, CB2 of CBY, and CB3 of CBZ01 to CBZ13. In the order of 68 (hereinafter the same), “BE, BE, W1”, and the payout (medal payout number) is 0.

  As shown in FIG. 5, as a replaying role (replay), a basic replaying role of RP1 to RP4, a falling replaying role of DRP1 to DRP6, a promotion replaying role of URP1 and 2, a fake playing role of MDF1 to 3, and MDN1 to 9 Special replay 1 role, MDS1-MDS2 special replay 2 role, the symbol combinations are RP1 "7B, BE, W1", DRP1 "BE, 7C, BL", URP1 "BE, RP, BL", MDF1 “BE, 7B, W1”, MDN1 “7B, 7A, 7A”, MDS1 “7B, 7A, 7B”, etc. No dividend (number of medals paid out) (however, the next game starts without any medal insertion) Possible).

  As shown in FIG. 6, as a winning combination (AT combination), a BE pushing order bell role, PZ01-PZ16 AT pushing order incorrect answer winning combination, CH1 and 2 cherry roles, WM1 to WM11 watermelon roles, BEC01 -BEC38's strong bell role, BED1-BED2 middle reel triple stop role, etc., the symbol combination is BE "RP, BE, W1", WM1 "7A, BR, BE", BEC01 "7B, 7B, 7A "etc., and the dividend (number of medals to be paid out) is 9 for the push order bell role, 1 for the AT role push order incorrect winning combination, 3 for the watermelon role and the strong bell role, and for 3 consecutive reels Is 13 sheets.

  As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, as a result of the role lottery, the MDF, the basic replay role, the promoted replay role, and the fake play role that the basic replay role, the promoted replay role, and the fake play role win simultaneously (duplicate win) , 1 special replay role won simultaneously (duplicate win) MD1, basic replay role, promoted replay role, MDF1 wins simultaneously (duplicate win) RPA1, push order incorrect win 1 role, BE wins simultaneously BEA1, CH1, and CH2 to win simultaneously (duplicate win) PZ1, WM1 to WM11 to win simultaneously (duplicate win) PZ2, BEC01 to BEC38 to win simultaneously (duplicate win) PZ3, and BED1 to BED3 are simultaneously selected (duplicated and won).

As shown in FIG. 7, the winning combination at the same time (overlapping winning combination) is set so that the winning combination (winning) differs depending on the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50.
Specifically, in the case of MDF, when the stop switch 50 is operated in the order of the left reel 64, the middle reel 66, and the right reel 68 (LCR), the basic replay role is played, the left reel 64, the right reel When the stop switch 50 is operated in the order of reel 68 and right reel 66 (L-R-C), the basic replay role is the order of middle reel 66, left reel 64, and right reel 68 (C-R-R). When the stop switch 50 is operated, the fake play role (MD fake) is played, and when the stop switch 50 is operated in the order of the middle reel 66, the right reel 68, and the left reel 64 (CR), the fake is played. When the replay role (MD fake) is operated in the order of R reel 68, left reel 64, middle reel 66 (RLC), the basic replay role is right reel 68, middle reel 66 , Stop switch 50 in the order of the left reel 64 (R-C-L) Basic replay combination when it is created is set to be established, respectively.

(Description of gaming state using FIG. 9)
Next, the “gaming state” will be described with reference to FIG.
The “game state” is managed by the main control means 200, and as shown in FIG. 9, there are “normal game”, “RT game”, and “bonus game”. “RT” is an abbreviation for so-called “replay time”, and when “RT game” is entered, a lottery probability of winning a re-game player, that is, a re-game probability increases.

  Note that the winning probability for the re-gamer in each game is set to “1 / 7.3” in “normal game”, and higher than “normal game” in “RT game”.

The “normal game” is controlled by the normal game control means 251 and includes “RT0” and “RT1”.
“RT0” is a game state in which the user stays after changing the setting at the time of factory shipment.
The transition from “RT0” to “RT1” is made when the RT1 symbol (the so-called AT role) is stopped and displayed.
“RT game” is controlled by the RT control means 252, and there is “RT2” having a higher probability of winning a re-game player than “normal game”.
Here, the transition from “normal game” to “RT game”, specifically, “RT1” to “RT2”, is made when the RT2 symbol, the so-called promoted replay symbol, is stopped and displayed. For example, the transition is made when the RT2 symbol is stopped and displayed in the push order “correct answer” of the promoted replay combination.
If the RT1 symbol (so-called AT role) is stopped and displayed in “RT2”, the process proceeds to “RT1”.
In addition, in “RT1” and “RT2”, when the symbols of the AT combination push order incorrect answer winnings 1 and 2 are stopped and displayed, the process shifts to “RT0”.

The “bonus game” is controlled by the bonus game control means 253, is elected as a bonus transition combination, and shifts by aligning “bonus symbols”.
In this embodiment, since the symbol corresponding to the “bonus symbol” is arranged so as not to miss the “bonus symbol” when the bonus symbol combination is won (see FIG. 2), When winning, the symbol corresponding to the bonus symbol in the game is stopped and displayed, and the bonus is executed in the next game.
“Bonus game” includes “CB1”, “CB2”, and “CB3” having different “bonus symbols”.
The “bonus game” is a challenge bonus in the present embodiment, and after the “bonus game” is completed in one game, the game state (“RT0”, “RT1”, “ Return to RT2 ").

(Description of the production state using FIG. 10)
As shown in FIG. 10, the production states include “normal production state”, “CZ (chance zone) state”, and “AT state”.

(Normal production state)
The “normal performance state” is a state excluding special states such as “CZ (chance zone) state” and “AT state”.

  During the normal performance state, a lottery (AT transition lottery) as to whether or not to shift to the AT state described later, and a lottery (CZ transition lottery) as to whether or not to shift to the CZ state described later are performed.

In the present embodiment, the CZ transition lottery is performed when it is not determined to shift to the AT state by the AT transition lottery (when the AT transition lottery is lost).
The CZ transfer lottery is not limited to the case where the AT transfer lottery is lost, and the CZ transfer lottery is also executed when the AT transfer lottery is won, and is exercised after the end of the winning AT state. You may have stocked the right to move to CZ.

(CZ state)
The CZ state is a state in which the winning probability of the lottery for shifting to the AT state is higher than that in the normal performance state.
In the present embodiment, the CZ state is composed of 10 games, and the transition to the AT state is determined when the AT transition lottery is won within the 10 games.
The CZ state shifts when the CZ transition lottery is won during the normal performance state, transitions to the AT state when the transition to the AT state is determined during the CZ state, and the normal performance when it is not determined. Return to state.
Note that the CZ state is not limited to the case where the winning probability of the lottery for shifting to the AT state is higher than that in the normal performance state, and may be any case where the transition to the AT state is easier than in the normal performance state. For example, the point used for the AT transition lottery may be in a state where it is easier to acquire than the normal performance state.
Further, the number of CZ states is not limited to one, and for example, two CZ states having different winning probabilities of the lottery for shifting to the AT state may be provided.

(AT state)
The “AT state” is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal performance state”. When the “AT state” is entered, a game (AT) in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified is started, and the stop switch 50 is operated in accordance with the notified pressing order, whereby the selected small role or replay The combination of symbols of the combination can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.
Here, the notification of the pressing order of the selected small role is performed by the information notification control means 270 using the payout number display 88, or by the AT control means 260 using the display device 84. .

The production state of the “AT state” includes “ART ready state”, “ART state”, and “additional stock state”.
(ART ready state)
The “ART ready state” is the “AT state” when the game state is “RT1” in FIG. 9, and in the state of “RT1”, the player is elected for the promotion replay that is the role of moving to “RT2”. In this case, the pressing order of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the promoted replay is notified. When the stop switch 50 is operated in accordance with the notification, the RT2 symbol is stopped and displayed, the gaming state shifts to RT2, and shifts to the “ART state”.

(ART state)
When the state shifts to the “ART state”, an AT that is a game in which the pressing order of the selected small role is notified and RT2 are started, and by operating the stop switch 50 in accordance with the notified pressing order, The combination of symbols can be stopped and displayed. For this reason, a predetermined number of medals corresponding to the established small combination are paid out.

The “ART state” is a game that has a predetermined end condition, and in this embodiment, the end condition is to consume 50 games per set. When the 50 games are consumed, the AT state is terminated and the state returns to the “normal production state”. When the AT state ends, the notification of the pressing order of the stop switch 50 is ended, and accordingly, when the RT1 symbol is displayed, the gaming state shifts to RT1 and RT ends. In other words, the RT1 symbol shows that when the first left stop and middle first stop are won for the wrong answer, and the push order is “wrong answer” (stop switch 50 is operated with left first stop and middle first stop). The symbol 61 is displayed in a stopped state. Since the AT is finished, the push order is not notified, and the player operates the stop switch 50 with the first left stop, so the first left stop and middle first stop are incorrect answers, for example, the push order. Even if the winning combination of the bell is won, the RT1 symbol (AT role Koboshi) is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to RT1.
Even in the AT state, even if an operation that does not follow the notified pressing order is performed, the RT1 symbol may be stopped and displayed, and the gaming state may shift to RT1, but the AT state (ART is ART State) is continued, the push order for stopping and displaying the RT2 symbol is notified, and the process proceeds to RT2.

(Additional stock state)
When a specific combination is won by a combination lottery during the “ART state”, the “ART state” is interrupted and the state shifts to the “additional stock state”.
The “additional stock state” is not limited to a case where a specific combination is won, and a transition lottery to the “additional stock state” may be performed and the transition lottery may be performed.
In the “additional stock state”, as a result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 210 for a predetermined number of games, 15 games in this embodiment, MD1, MD2 (FIG. 6 in this embodiment) , (See FIG. 7)), and a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed (in the present embodiment, symbols 61 of “7A”, “7B” and “7C” are displayed on the intermediate rotating reel 66 (symbol numbers 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 2). ) Are displayed so as to be vertically arranged), it is set so that one set number of “ART state” is acquired.

  In addition, the suggestion effect (including the gasse suggestion effect) described with reference to FIG. 13 is mainly performed in the “additional stock state”, and in the present embodiment, “7A” and “7B” are set at the first stop of the intermediate rotation reel 66. “7C” symbol 61 (symbol numbers 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 2) is an effect that aims to be stopped and displayed vertically.

In addition, the suggestion effect described with reference to FIG. 13 may be performed not in the “additional stock state” but mainly in the “continuation zone” that transitions after the “ART state” ends.
Here, the “continuation zone” is a game in which an ART continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the “ART state” for a predetermined number of games is performed, and if the ART continuous lottery is won, After completion, the state shifts to the “ART state”.
In accordance with the suggestion effect performed in the “continuation zone”, symbols 61 such as “7A”, “7B”, and “7C” (symbol numbers 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 2) are arranged vertically on the middle rotating reel 66. Is set so that the continuation of the “ART state” is confirmed.

(Instruction monitor)
Next, using FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, in the second specific condition, in this embodiment, in the AT state, the push order, for example, BEA 1 in which the push order bell (BE) is won at the same time (see FIG. 7). An instruction monitor display using the payout number display device 88 in the case of winning is described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the payout number display device 88 has two 7-segment LEDs ("left 7 segment 88a" and "right 7 segment 88b" in FIG. 11). The payout number display 88 has two functions of a payout number display for displaying the payout number as the payout number display 88 and an instruction monitor display for instructing the operation order.
Here, each segment of the 7-segment LED display is composed of seven parts: a left upper part a, a middle upper part b, an upper right part c, an intermediate part d, a lower left part e, a lower right part f, and a middle lower part g.

FIG. 12 shows specific display forms of the operation modes 0 to 6 of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display 88 as an instruction monitor.
The left 7-segment 88a can indicate "a type of the recommended stop switch 50 that should be stopped now" by lighting a predetermined segment.
Only the upper left segment a of the left 7 segment 88a is lit, indicating that it is better to stop the left stop switch L. Further, only the middle upper b segment of the left 7-segment 88a is lit, indicating that it is better to stop the middle stop switch C. Further, only the segment in the upper right part c of the left 7-segment 88a is lit, indicating that it is better to stop the right stop switch R.

The right 7-segment 88b can instruct "which stop operation mode (operation order (operation modes 1 to 6)) has been won" by lighting a predetermined segment.
Specifically, only the upper left segment “a” of the right 7-segment 88b is lit, which indicates that the left middle right has been won as the stop operation mode (operation order) of the operation mode 1. Further, only the middle upper-b segment of the right 7-segment 88b is lit, which indicates that the left / right / middle has been won as the stop operation mode (operation order) of the operation mode 2. Further, only the segment in the upper right part c of the right 7 segment 88b is lit, which indicates that the middle and right and left have been won as the stop operation mode (operation order) of the operation mode 3. Also, only the middle segment d of the right 7 segment 88b is lit, indicating that the middle right and left have been won as the stop operation mode (operation order) of the operation mode 4. Further, only the segment in the lower left e of the right 7 segment 88b is lit, which indicates that the middle right has been won as the stop operation mode (operation order) of the operation mode 5. Also, only the lower right f segment of the right 7 segment 88b is lit, indicating that the middle right and left have been won as the stop operation mode (operation order) of the operation mode 6.

  In the operation mode 0, all the segments of the left 7 segment 88a and the right 7 segment 88b are turned off to indicate that the player does not notify the player of the stop operation mode (operation order) from the beginning to the end. ing.

  The relationship between the operation modes 0 to 6 and the recommended stop operation mode (operation order) is preferably in a state that can be recognized by the player in advance. For example, it may be displayed on the upper panel 20 of the gaming machine 10, distributed in a gaming hall, or may be published in a pamphlet or a slot machine related magazine placed in each gaming machine 10, In addition, the player may be notified by displaying it on the display device 84 in advance. Further, even if such active notification is not performed, the player may be able to understand himself / herself by an empirical rule as the number of games of the game is increased.

  As shown in FIG. 12, specifically, for example, in the operation mode 1, from the effective operation of the stop switch 50 to the first stop operation, only the upper left a of the left 7-segment 88a is lit and the right 7 In the segment 88b, only the upper left a is lit. Only the segment in the upper left a of the right 7 segment 88b is lit, indicating that the current operation mode is 1, and the recommended stop operation mode (operation order) is the left middle right. The right 7 segment 88b is set so that the lighting / extinguishing state does not change from the effective operation of the stop switch 50 to the third stopping operation for the third stopping operation. During this time, the upper left a is lit. The operation state 1 is continued, and it is the operation mode 1, and the notification that the recommended operation order is left middle right is continuously performed.

In the operation mode 1, from the effective operation of the stop switch 50 to the first stop operation, the left 7-segment 88a is lit only from the upper left a, so that the first operation from the effective operation of the stop switch 50 is changed to the first. It is reported that the recommended stop operation at the present time until the stop operation is the left stop switch L.
And in the operation mode 1, the recommended stop operation from the first stop operation to the second stop operation which is the second operation order is currently lit only in the upper middle b of the left 7-segment 88a. As a result, the middle stop switch C is informed.

  In the slot machine 10, when the start switch 40 is operated, the rotation of each rotary reel 62 starts, and the rotation speed of each rotary reel 62 is gradually accelerated. Further, when the rotational speed of each rotary reel 62 is gradually accelerated and reaches a predetermined speed, the acceleration process of each rotary reel 62 ends, and this time, a constant speed process for rotating each rotary reel 62 at a constant speed is performed. Done. By this constant speed processing, the rotation speed of each rotary reel 62 is kept constant. A state in which each rotary reel 62 is rotating at a constant rotational speed is referred to as a “steady state”. Further, in the steady state, each rotary reel 62 rotates once, for example, at 750 ms. Then, when the rotation of each rotary reel 62 reaches a steady state, the operation of each stop switch 50 is now effective. A state in which the operation of each stop switch 50 is validated is referred to as an “operation valid state”.

  Further, the lighting is not limited to the case where the lighting is started from the validity of the operation of the stop switch 50, and the lighting may be started from the start of the variable display of the symbol 61 of the rotating reel 62.

In the operation mode 1, the currently recommended stop operation from the second stop operation to the third stop operation is the right stop because only the upper right part c of the left 7-segment 88a is lit. The switch R is informed.
Then, in the operation mode 1, after the third stop (more precisely, the timing when the four-phase excitation is passed after slipping), both the left 7 seg 88a and the right 7 seg 88b are finished by the game being ended. Both segments are turned off. In other words, the left 7-segment 88a and the right 7-segment 88b are in a lighting state until the final reel is subjected to four-phase excitation.
Thus, by displaying as described above on the two types of 7-segment LED display of the left 7-segment 88a and the right 7-segment 88b, an appropriate stop operation can be performed at any time of the game. Is formed.

As a specific display form of each of the operation modes 0 to 6 of the payout number display device 88 serving as an instruction monitor, in this embodiment, in the left 7-segment 88a, “the type of the recommended stop switch 50 that should be stopped now” On the other hand, in the 7th segment 88b on the right, "Which stop operation mode (operation order (operation modes 1 to 6)) has been won" is instructed. On the other hand (for example, in the right 7-segment 88b, only “instruction of which stop operation mode (operation order (operation modes 1 to 6)) has been won”) may be used.
Also, the timing at which all the segments are turned off is the time when the four-phase excitation is applied after the final reel stop operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the stop operation for the final reel is detected, the final reel is stopped. It may be when the finger is removed from the operated stop switch 50.

If the operation order is not performed as instructed by the payout number display device 88, the segment of the left 7 segment 88a is turned off and the segment of the right 7 segment 88b is kept lit after that time. Is done.
And although description is abbreviate | omitted also in the operation modes 2-6, as shown in FIG. 12, the alert | report similar to what was demonstrated above suitable for the operation order corresponding to each operation mode is performed.

(Suggested production)
Next, the specific content of the suggestion effect will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 13, an image similar to the symbol is displayed on the portion of the display device 84 located above the rotating reel 62 to be stopped first, and the rotating reel 62 is first stopped, and the symbol is displayed. An effect is suggested that suggests so-called.
That is, in the case shown in FIG. 13, as the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50, the middle rotating reel 66 is stopped for the first time, and the symbols 61 of “7A”, “7B”, and “7C” (see FIG. 2). This suggests that the stop switch C corresponding to the intermediate rotation reel 66 is pushed at the timing when the illustrated symbol numbers 1 to 3) are arranged vertically.

As described above, the suggestion effect execution lottery by the suggestion effect execution lottery means 261 is not performed only when the winning combination is won by the winning lottery, but also when the pressing effect is not won. Therefore, even if the stop switch 50 is operated according to the suggestion effect, the symbol 61 corresponding to the pressing order is not always stopped and displayed.
Further, even if the winning order is selected, the operation order (pressing order) of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the pressing order is not necessarily suggested, and the correct pressing order is the right-handed reel. Even when 68 is to stop for the first time, as shown in FIG. 13, an image may be displayed on the portion of the display device 84 located above the intermediate rotating reel 66.
There is a case where such a so-called gasse suggestive effect is given.

  Note that the suggestion effect is not limited to notifying the display device 84, but for other devices, for example, an accessory that can move in the left-right direction on the front side of the display device 84 provided on the upper side of the rotating reel, It may be suggested to move the reel to the upper side of one stop to stop the rotating reel for the first stop.

  In addition, the suggestion effect is not a so-called Gase suggestion effect, and a predetermined push order (special replay 1 role (MDN1-9), special replay 2 role (MDS1,2), fake play role (MDF1-3) are won simultaneously. In the case of winning MDF, MD1, MD2, the timing of notification of the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 after the suggestion effect (in the case of FIG. 14A described later, t2 , (B) at t3, and (c) at timing t3), the player is expected to press the symbol 61 of “7A”, “7B” and “7C” corresponding to the pressing order. Direct notification that is not an indication such as “aiming” may be made.

(Timing timing)
Next, an example of the timing of the notification of the operation mode of the stop switch 50 and the suggestion effect will be described with reference to FIG.
The time chart shown in FIG. 14A is started when it is determined that the suggestion effect is to be executed by the suggestion effect execution lottery that is the first specific condition, and when the winning combination that is the second specific condition is won. The suggestion effect using the display device 84 is executed at the timing of operation of the switch 40 (t1), and then the operation order of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 at the timing of starting the rotation of the rotary reel 62 (t2) ( It is a time chart about an example with which a press order) is reported.
The display device 84 has a predetermined push order (MDF, MD1, MD2 for which a special replay 1 role (MDN1 to 9), a special replay 2 role (MDS1, 2), and a fake play role (MDF1 to 3) are simultaneously selected. In the case of winning, the suggestion effect is continued after timing (t2), or the above-mentioned direct notification is performed. However, in the case of winning (Gase suggestion effect) other than the predetermined push order, the timing ( At t2), the suggestion effect is ended, and a push order other than the predetermined push order is notified (part indicated by a one-dot chain line).

The time chart shown in FIG. 14B is started when it is decided to execute the suggestion effect by the suggestion effect execution lottery that is the first specific condition, and the winning combination that is the second specific condition is won. The suggestion effect using the display device 84 is executed at the timing of operation of the switch 40 (t1), and then the operation order of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 at the timing when the operation of the stop switch 50 is effective (t3) ( It is a time chart about an example with which a press order) is reported.
The display device 84 has a predetermined push order (MDF, MD1, MD2 for which a special replay 1 role (MDN1 to 9), a special replay 2 role (MDS1, 2), and a fake play role (MDF1 to 3) are simultaneously selected. In the case of winning, the suggestion effect is continued after timing (t3), or the above-mentioned direct notification is performed. However, in the case of winning (Gase suggestion effect) other than the predetermined push order, At t3), the suggestion effect is terminated, and a push order other than the predetermined push order is notified (part indicated by a one-dot chain line).

The time chart shown in FIG. 14C is rotated when it is decided to execute the suggestion effect by the suggestion effect execution lottery which is the first specific condition, and when the winning combination which is the second specific condition is won. The suggestion effect using the display device 84 is executed at the timing of starting the rotation of the reel 62 (t2), and then the operation of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display 88 at the timing when the operation of the stop switch 50 is effective (t3). It is a time chart about an example in which order (push order) is reported.
The display device 84 has a predetermined push order (MDF, MD1, MD2 for which a special replay 1 role (MDN1 to 9), a special replay 2 role (MDS1, 2), and a fake play role (MDF1 to 3) are simultaneously selected. In the case of winning, the suggestion effect is continued after timing (t3), or the above-mentioned direct notification is performed. However, in the case of winning (Gase suggestion effect) other than the predetermined push order, At t3), the suggestion effect is terminated, and a push order other than the predetermined push order is notified (part indicated by a one-dot chain line).

The time chart shown in FIG. 14D is an example of the gasse suggestion effect of the time chart shown in FIG. 14B described above, and it is determined to execute the suggestion effect by the suggestion effect execution lottery that is the first specific condition. When the second specific condition is not won for the pressing order, the suggestion effect using the display device 84 is executed at the timing (t1) of the start switch 40 operation. Thereafter, the stop switch 50 It is a time chart about an example in which the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 is not notified at the operation valid timing (t3).
The display device 84 ends the suggestion effect (gase suggestion effect) at timing (t2) or timing (t3).

(Description of the basic flow of the game using FIG. 15)
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, a general game control process executed by the main control means 200 for each game will be described.

  In step S10, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main control means 200 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to next Step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step S10 is performed again.

  Note that the betting number setting process is performed as a premise of this step S10. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main control means 200 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a prescribed number of bets (three).

  In step S11, the role lottery means 210 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 300. When the combination lottery process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

  In step S12, rotation variation processing of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed (operation of the stop switch 50 is effective), the reel control means when the main control means 200 operates the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating rotation reel 62. By 220, the rotation of each rotary reel 62 is stopped. The pressing order corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main control means 200, It is read in the subsequent processing.

In addition, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 280 of the main control unit 200 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control unit 300. Then, when the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S13.
In step S13, the stop symbol determination means 230 performs a determination process such as a winning as to whether or not a combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined role is aligned with a combination of symbols 61 on the active line 86. Here, the determination result data of the determination process such as winning is transmitted from the main control means 200 to the sub-control means 300. When the determination process ends, the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  In step S14, the payout control means 240 performs a payout process corresponding to the determination result of the stop symbol determining means 230. Note that if the result of the determination is that payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.

(Explanation of suggestion effect processing using FIGS. 16 and 17)
The suggestion effect process will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the processing on the main control means 200 side.
In step S20, it is determined whether or not it is determined in step S10 in FIG. 15 that the start switch 40 has been operated. If it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the process proceeds to the next step S21. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 is not operated, the process returns to step S20.

In step S21, the suggestion effect execution lottery means 261 performs the suggestion effect execution lottery. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S22.
In step S22, it is determined whether or not execution of the suggestion effect has been determined by the suggestion effect execution lottery performed in step S21. If it is determined to execute the suggestion effect, the process proceeds to the next step S23. On the other hand, if it is not determined to execute the suggestion effect, the process ends.
In addition, the suggestion effect execution lottery is not limited to the case where the suggestion effect execution lottery is executed in the game in which the suggestion effect execution lottery is performed, and whether or not the suggestion effect is executed in the game of the predetermined game destination. You may make it determine by lottery.

In step S23, the transmission means 280 transmits a suggestion effect execution signal to the sub-control means 300, and a signal related to whether or not the pressing order is correct by the combination lottery performed in step S11 of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S24.
In step S24, it is determined whether or not the operation of the stop switch 50 is enabled in step S12 of FIG. If it is determined that the operation of the stop switch 50 has become effective, the process proceeds to the next step S25. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the operation of the stop switch 50 has become effective, the process again returns to step S24.
In step S25, the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 is notified using the payout number display 88. Then, the process ends.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining processing of the sub-control unit 300 side processing.
In step S30, it is determined whether or not the suggestion effect execution signal is included in the signal transmitted in step S23 of FIG. If the suggestion effect execution signal is included, that is, if it is determined that the suggestion effect execution signal is received, the process proceeds to the next step S31. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the suggestion effect execution signal has been received, the process again becomes step S30.
In step S31, the push success / failure signal transmitted in step S23 of FIG. 16 indicates a predetermined push order (special replay 1 part (MDN1 to 9), special replay 2 part (MDS1, 2), fake play part. It is determined whether or not (MDF1, MD2, MD2, MD2) won at the same time. If it is determined that the predetermined push order is won, the process proceeds to the next step S32.

In step S32, the suggested effects to be executed are selected by lottery, and the suggested effects determined by the lottery are executed. Then, the process ends.
The execution of the suggestion effect may be performed by the main control unit 200 when the suggestion effect execution lottery is won instead of the sub-control means 300, and the type of the suggestion effect is limited to only one type. Thus, the suggestion effect to be executed may not be selected.
On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S31 described above that the predetermined push order is won, the process proceeds to step S33, and the suggestion effect to be executed (gasse suggestion effect) is lottery and the suggestion effect determined by the lottery Execute. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S34.

  Note that the execution of the suggestion effect may be performed by the main control means 200 when the suggestion effect execution lottery is won instead of the sub-control means 300, or the type of the suggestion effect is only one type. By limiting, it is possible not to draw lotus suggestion effects to be executed.

In step S34, whether or not the push order success / failure signal transmitted in step S23 of FIG. 16 is won for a push order other than the predetermined push order, for example, push order bell (BE). Determined. If it is determined that the other push order is won, the process proceeds to the next step S35, and if it is not determined that the other push order is won, the process ends.
In step S35, the operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 corresponding to the other push order is displayed on the display device 84. Then, the process ends.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the first embodiment described above, when the first specific condition is satisfied when the push order is selected as the second specific condition, the production timing does not change and the rotation start timing of the rotary reel 66 (t2). ), The operation order (push order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 is notified at the timing (t3) when the operation of the stop switch 50 is effective (FIG. 14). When only the first specific condition is satisfied in addition to the second specific condition, a notification of the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 is displayed. The notification timing is delayed so as to be executed after the suggestion effect using 84.
Note that description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment described above is omitted.

Next, an example of delaying the timing of the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display 88 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The time chart shown in FIG. 18 shows that the operation of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display 88 at the timing (t1) of the operation of the start switch 40 when only the second specific condition is satisfied (the winning combination is won). When the order (push order) is notified, the execution of the suggestion effect is determined by the suggestion effect execution lottery that is the first specific condition, and the push order that is the second specific condition is won. Since the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 is notified at the timing (t1) of the start switch 40 operation, the notification is made at the timing (t3) of the effective operation of the stop switch 50. It is a time chart about an example which delays the notification timing of an operation mode.
In this case, the suggestion effect using the display device 84 includes the timing (t1) of the start switch 40 operation before the timing (t3) when the operation of the stop switch 50 is effective, and the timing of starting the rotation of the rotary reel 66 ( at t2).

The time chart shown in FIG. 19 shows that the operation of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display 88 at the timing (t2) of the operation of the start switch 40 when only the second specific condition is satisfied (the winning combination is won). When the order (push order) is notified, the execution of the suggestion effect is determined by the suggestion effect execution lottery that is the first specific condition, and the push order that is the second specific condition is won. Since the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 is notified at the rotation start timing (t2) of the rotary reel 66, the operation effective timing (t3) of the stop switch 50 is notified. It is a time chart about an example which delays the notification timing of an operation mode so that it may do.
In this case, the suggestion effect using the display device 84 includes the timing (t1) of the start switch 40 operation before the timing (t3) when the operation of the stop switch 50 is effective, and the timing of starting the rotation of the rotary reel 66 ( at t2).

The time chart shown in FIG. 20 shows that the operation of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display 88 at the timing (t1) of the start switch 40 operation when only the second specific condition is satisfied (winning order is won). When the order (push order) is notified, the execution of the suggestion effect is determined by the suggestion effect execution lottery that is the first specific condition, and the push order that is the second specific condition is won. Since the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50 using the payout number display device 88 is notified at the start switch 40 operation timing (t1), the notification is made at the rotation start timing (t2) of the rotary reel 66. It is a time chart about an example which delays the notification timing of an operation mode.
In this case, the suggestive effect using the display device 84 is performed at the timing (t1) of operation of the start switch 40 before the timing (t2) of starting the rotation of the rotary reel 66.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the part which overlaps with 1st Embodiment mentioned above and 2nd Embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, for the purpose of assisting the acquisition of medals, the operation mode of the stop switch 50, for example, the operation timing of the stop switch 50 and the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switch 50 are used. Is different from the first embodiment and the second embodiment in that it includes a “general section” that is not allowed to be notified and a “special section” that is allowed.

(External structure of gaming machine 10 according to the third embodiment)
(Section notification lamp 90)
As shown in FIG. 21, below the symbol display window section 16, there is provided a section notification lamp 90 that notifies that the current performance state is a “special section” (see FIG. 23) described later.
This section notification lamp 90 is turned on by the main control means 200 when the stage state has shifted from a “general section” (see FIG. 23) described later to a “special section”, and the stage state is “special section”. It is always lit during the interval.
Then, the section notification lamp 90 is turned off by the main control means 200 (see FIG. 22) when the effect state has shifted from the “special section” to the “general section”.
In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, in addition to the configurations of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, a section notification lamp 90 is connected to the output side of the main control means 200. Yes.

(Description of the production state using FIG. 23)
As shown in FIG. 23, the presentation states in the third embodiment include “general section” and “special section” as described above.

(General section)
The “general section” is a section excluding a “special section” to be described later, and is a section that does not permit notification of a small-comb push order accompanied by a payout of medals. As the “general section”, there is a “normal performance state”. The type and number of “general sections” are not limited to those described above.

(Normal production state)
The “normal performance state” is a state excluding special states such as “CZ state” and “AT state” in a “special section” to be described later.
In the present embodiment, when the predetermined transition opportunity is satisfied during the normal performance state, in the present embodiment, when the CZ transition lottery is won based on the winning lottery performed by the role lottery means 210, “CZ” of the “special section” Transition to "Status".
When shifting from the “general section” to the “special section”, first, the “special section” is shifted to the “CZ state”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the “CZ state” is not passed. It is also possible to shift to the “AT state”.

In addition, the lottery probability of the winning combination of the combination lottery that triggers the CZ transition lottery is set so as not to differ depending on the set value.
That is, even if the set value is 1, the set value 6 is selected with the same lottery probability.
Further, the lottery probability of the winning combination of the combination lottery that becomes a trigger when the state is shifted to the “AT state” without passing through the “CZ state” is also set so as not to differ by the set value.

(Special section)
The “special section” is a section that is more advantageous to the player than the “general section”. For the purpose of assisting the acquisition of medals, the operation mode of the stop switch 50, for example, the operation timing of the stop switch 50, the stop switch 50 This is a section in which notification of the operation order (push order) is allowed.
Therefore, execution of the suggestion effect is permitted only in the “special section”, and execution is not permitted in the “general section”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the “special section” is performed by the role lottery means 210 when the transition to the “special section” is determined by satisfying a predetermined transition opportunity in the “general section” as described above. It starts from the next game when the CZ transition lottery is won based on the winning combination of the role lottery.

In the “special section”, an instruction relating to a combination of symbols related to winning in which the maximum payout number is obtained at least once is to be given.
For example, in the case where the small combination relating to the maximum payout number is “BED1” (see FIG. 6) among a plurality of small combinations, the pressing order of “BED1” is notified at least once during the special section. It becomes.

“Special section” includes “CZ state” and “AT state”. The type and number of “special sections” are not limited to those described above.
If 1500 games have been consumed since the start of the “special section” before the number of games in the “AT state” has been consumed, the “AT state” is terminated without waiting for the number of games in the “AT state” to be consumed. Then, the process proceeds to the “normal production state”.

A gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of rotating reels (62) capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols (61), and a start switch for starting variably displaying the symbols (61) of the rotating reel (62) ( 40) and a plurality of the rotating reels (62) corresponding to each of the rotating reels (62). 62) a plurality of stop switches (50) for stopping the variable display of the symbol (61), and when the first specific condition is satisfied, the suggested effect suggesting the operation mode of the stop switch (50) Is executed using the first effect device, and when the second specific condition is satisfied, the operation mode of the stop switch (50) is notified using the second effect device, and the first specific condition and the second When the specific condition is satisfied, after executing the suggestion effect using the first effect device, An operation mode of the stop switch (50) is notified using a second effect device, and an operation mode of the stop switch (50) suggested using the first effect device and the second effect are displayed. The operation mode is different from the operation mode of the stop switch (50) notified by using the device .

A gaming machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of rotating reels (62) capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols (61), and a start switch for starting variably displaying the symbols (61) of the rotating reel (62) ( 40) and a plurality of the rotating reels (62) corresponding to each of the rotating reels (62). 62) a plurality of stop switches (50) for stopping the variable display of the symbol (61), and when the first specific condition is satisfied, the suggested effect suggesting the operation mode of the stop switch (50) Is executed using the first effect device, and when the second specific condition is satisfied, the operation mode of the stop switch (50) is notified using the second effect device, and the first specific condition and the second When the specific condition is satisfied, after executing the suggestion effect using the first effect device, The second effect device is used to notify the operation mode of the stop switch (50). When the first specific condition is satisfied and the second specific condition is not satisfied, the first effect device is used. Only the suggestion effect is executed, and notification of the operation mode of the stop switch (50) using the second effect device is not executed.
In the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the second specific condition is satisfied, the display of the variation display of the symbol (61) of the plurality of rotating reels (62) or the operation of the stop switch (50) is further performed. Based on the validity, the operation mode of the stop switch (50) is notified using the second effect device, and when the first specific condition is satisfied, the suggestion is made based on the operation of the start switch (40). It is characterized in that the production is executed.
