It is a winning combination that can be won when the operation is performed and the pressing timing of each stop button is appropriate, for example, when it is at the time of winning of the winning area "batting order bell 1", any of batting order 3 to batting order 6 The player wins a prize when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order and the pressing timing of each stop button is appropriate.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed and operated in a batting order in which the bell can not be won when the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 3" is won. And when each stop button is pressed and operated at a pressing timing at which the special small role 1 to special small role 3 can not be won, a dropout (non-win) in which neither role wins occurs, and the reel control means 130 By the reel stop control according to the above, a dropped eye which is a combination of symbols different from the winning pattern of any of the winning combinations is displayed on the effective line L1. Further, in the following description, a batting order in which a bell can be won when winning in the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 3" is also described as the correct batting order. In addition, a batting order in which a bell can not be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 3" is also described as an incorrect answering order.

  The winning area "common bell role" is selected to be a bell, and the bell is configured to be capable of winning regardless of batting order and pressing timing. In addition, the winning area "rea role" is elected to be a rare role, is configured to be able to win a rare role regardless of batting order and pressing timing, the probability of winning is lower than the winning area including other minors Is configured as. In addition, the winning area "drop-off role" is winning the drop-off role and is configured to be able to win the drop-off role when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is appropriate, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 If the pressing timing is a pressing timing at which the winning combination can not be won, neither winning combination will be missed (non-winning).

  Bell's payout is set to the number of payouts (for example, eight) which is larger than the specified number of inputs. The payout for the rare combination is set to the same number of payouts (for example, 3) as the prescribed number of payouts. The payouts of the special small role 1 to special small role 6 and the dropping role are set to the number of payouts (for example, one) which is smaller than the prescribed number of inputs.

  FIG. 5 (B) is a diagram showing a winning area of a small winning combination that can be won in the RBB operating state. As shown in FIG. 5 (B), JAC has all of the bells, special minor 1 to special minor 3, the rare and deceased roles that can be won in the non-RT state to RT 3 state and the bonus establishment state. It is a winning area which is won in duplicate.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when winning in the winning area “JAC”, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell with the largest number of payouts at the time of winning is prioritized over other roles. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. Thus, when the winning area "JAC" is won, the bell is won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3.

  Next, the winning area including the replay will be described. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the winning area "Normal Replay 1", the winning area "Normal Replay 2", and the winning area "Sequence Replay" are selected as the winning area including only replay The winning area "run sequence replay 6" and the winning area "reary play" are set.

  The winning area "Normal Replay 1" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to internal lottery table E, and the normal replay is won, and the ordinary replay can be won regardless of batting order and pressing timing. It is done. The winning area "Normal Replay 2" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to internal lottery table E, and the normal replay and the normal replay indicate combinations of symbols (hereinafter referred to as "winning symbols"). The combination is also described as “special replay 1” different from the other replays, and is configured to be able to win regular replay regardless of batting order and pressing timing. The winning area "reary play" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E, and is selected to be a trial play, and configured to be able to win the trial play regardless of batting order and pressing timing ing. In addition, the winning area "reary play" is set so that the winning probability is lower than any winning area of the winning area including the replay that can be won in each internal lottery table.

  The winning area "Sequence replay 1" to the winning area "Sequence replay 6" are the winning areas set in the internal lottery table B selected when the gaming state is the RT1 state, and the RT2 transition replay and the RT3 transition When the stop button B1 to stop button B3 are pressed and operated in the batting order set in each of the winning area "batning replay 1" to the winning area "batning replay 6", the game moves to RT2 When the replay is won and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the other batting order, the RT3 transition replay is won.

  Also, the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 in which the winning symbol combination is different from that of the other replays so that the winning area “strike replay 1” to the winning area “strike replay 6” have different winning combinations with different winning combinations. In the combination shown in FIG. 5 (C) and the replay shown in FIG. 5C, duplicate winning or special replay 1 to special replay 5 are not included. When the reel control means 130 described later wins the winning area including the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 have any batting order and pressing timing. The reel stop control is configured to be executed so that the winning combination of special replay 1 to special replay 5 is not displayed even when the pressing operation is performed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the winning area “CBB” and the winning area “normal replay 2” is changed according to the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191. It consists of a winning area "RBB", a winning area "bats bell 1" to a winning area "bats bell 3", a winning area "common bell role", a winning area "raa role", and a winning area "drop out" The winning combinations "Sequence Replay 1" to the winnings area "Sequence replay 6", the winning area "Normal Replay 1", and the winning area "Really Play" are the settings stored in the set value storage means 191. Even if the value is any value, the winning probability is not changed.

  In the random number determination process, the random number (random number for lottery) generated by the random number generation unit 110 is acquired for each game based on the start signal output from the start switch 230, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process In comparison with the lottery table, it is determined whether or not the winning combination has been won based on the comparison result.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is not established (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state) , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations won in duplicate is set to the established state. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, there is prepared a lottery flag (carry over impossible flag) which is reset to the non-established state without carrying over the established state in the next and subsequent games regardless of the winning. Further, the setting information of the lottery flag is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 193 of the storage unit 190.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry over possible flag) which can carry over the established state to the next and subsequent games until the prize is won and the winning state is carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the prize. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) which is reset to the non-established state is prepared. As the role to which the former carry-over possible flag is associated, there are RBB and CBB, and the small combination and the replay are correlated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when a winning area including either RBB or CBB is won in the internal lottery, a process of carrying over the established state of the lottery flag of the won RBB or CBB is performed until the RBB or CBB wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay have been made even in the game carried over with the establishment state of the lottery flag of RBB and CBB. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the establishment status of the lottery flag of RBB and CBB is carried over, when the small winning combination or the replay is won, the lottery flag of RBB or CBB already elected and the internal lottery A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations consisting of a small winning combination and a lottery flag for replay is set in the established state.

  When the CBB is operated, the internal lottery unit 120 of the present embodiment sets the lottery flags of all the small winning combinations to the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery. That is, in the slot machine 1, in the game in which the CBB is operating, the lottery flags of all the small prizes of the bell, the special small role 1 to the special small role 3, the rare role and the dropout role are set to the established state. Here, in the slot machine 1, in the game in which CBB is operating, the first reel rotating so that the winning symbol combination of the bell is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. R1 to the third reel R3 stop.

  The reel control means 130 controls the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal being output from the start switch 230 operated by the player performing the start operation to the start lever SL. Start rotating drive. Further, the reel control means 130 is configured to stop the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 becomes the steady rotation state at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm). The control for activating the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 is executed by pressing the stop button B3. Then, the reel control unit 130 stops the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. Control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed. At this time, the reel control unit 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the setting state of the lottery flag, that is, the mode according to the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control unit 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. Then, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are being rotated corresponding to the stop button pressed within 190 ms after the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. It is designed to stop the reels. Here, when stopping the reels being rotated within 190 ms from the pressing point of the stop button, the stop position of each rotating reel is stopped from the pressing point of the stop button from the diameter and the rotational speed of each reel It is configured to be able to rotate up to 4 frames by the maximum. The reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button for which the pressing operation has been performed among the stop button B1 to stop button B3, the symbol corresponding to the combination won in the internal lottery is the stop button The symbol corresponding to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is valid when the display position on the effective line L1 is positioned within the range of 0 to 4 frames when the pressing operation on the is performed. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so as to display the display position on the line L1.

  For this reason, in the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combination of the combination that can be won regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 such as the bell and the respective replays are the first reels R1 to Each of the three reels R3 is arranged in a displayable range from when the stop button is pressed to when the reels stop. In particular, with regard to symbols that can be displayed on the third reel R3 among the winning symbol combinations of the bell, the stop button B3 is also at the time of CBB operation (described later) in which the number of sliding symbols of the third reel R3 becomes one at maximum. They are arranged so that they can be displayed regardless of the pressing timing of.

  Here, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal output when the start switch 230 detects the start operation, and starts rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 to start one game. In this case, it is configured to set a waiting time (about 4.1 seconds) generally referred to as a weight (or weight time). Then, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal from the start switch 230 within the period from the setting of the waiting time to the elapse of the waiting time, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 after the waiting time has elapsed. Is configured to start rotation. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 can start the game after the minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) elapses as a certain time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. .

  The reel control means 130 performs a logic operation process of obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic operation, and referring to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 194 of the storage means 190. It performs table reference processing to determine the stop position.

  First, in the logic operation process, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the stop switch 240, that is, the time of pressing the stop button, according to the priority data defined for each combination. The priority is determined for the candidates for the stop positions for five frames present in the range. Here, the reel control unit 130 is a reel index, which is information indicating that the reels output when the photosensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel. And the rotation state of the reel at the time of receiving the reel stop signal from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of drive pulses supplied to the stepping motor). To get And the candidate of the stop position with the highest priority among the priority of the candidate of each stop position is determined as an actual stop position. However, in the logic operation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT3 state, the bonus established state, and the RBB activated state, the priority is determined in the order of “Replay> Small combination> Bonus”. Further, in the slot machine 1, in the case of the CBB operating state in which the CBB is operating, the priority is determined in the order of “small part> replay> bonus”. That is, the slot machine 1 of this embodiment gives priority to the replay and the bonus in the case where the small winning combination and the replay or the bonus are won at the time of executing the reel stop control when the CBB is in operation. The symbols constituting the winning combination of symbols are stopped on the effective line L1.

  In the logic operation processing, when the lottery flag for two or more types of winning combinations is set to the winning state, the stop position including the symbols forming the winning combination of the high-priority winning combinations according to the priority ranking associated with each winning combination. The priority of the candidate is determined such that the priority is higher than the candidate of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the combination with low priority.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the method of determining the priority of the candidate for the stop position when a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line L1. There is a method of determining the priority and a method of determining the priority according to the number of medals paid out based on the payout predetermined for the small winning combination. When the priority of the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the priority is given to the stop position where the number of winning symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1 increases. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so as to be higher. In addition, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line L1 is large. The priority of the candidate for each stop position is determined such that the higher the priority the higher the stop position, ie, the stop position where a small winning combination with a large payout can be won. However, in the case of determining the priority of the candidate for the stop position according to the number of medals paid out, when the small part with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small part can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  Further, in the logic operation processing, so-called pull-in processing and kicking-off processing are performed as processing for obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state can be made as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the combination with the lottery flag set to the non-winning state can not be won. In this manner, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state can be stopped. In order to prevent the stop at the above, a logic operation process is performed to obtain a candidate for the stop position of the reel.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CBB is a prize and the CBB is activated, a combination of winning symbol combinations of a challenge bonus (hereinafter, the challenge bonus is described as “CB”) as a second kind special role. The CB is configured to operate continuously without depending on the display. Therefore, the reel control means 130 is rotating within 75 ms from the time the stop button B3 is pressed for the third reel R3 of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 when CBB is won and CBB is activated. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop the third reel R3. When stopping the rotating reel within 75 ms from the pressing point of the stop button, the stopping position of each rotating reel is from the pressing point of the stop button to the stop of the reel from the diameter and rotational speed of each reel. It is configured to be rotatable by one frame at maximum.

  The reel control means 130 controls the stop control of the reels during the CBB operation within 75 ms from when the stop button is pressed on at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 which has been determined in advance. The reel stop control may be executed so as to stop, and in the present embodiment, the third reel is detected within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 is detected by pressing the stop button B3. Stop control of the reel is executed so as to stop R3, but the stop switch 240 detects that the stop button corresponding to the other reel such as the first reel R1 or the second reel R2 is pressed, and the reel stop signal Stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when it is output from the stop switch 240 The number of reels set so as to stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 may be one. There may be more than one.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process of determining whether or not the winning combination has been won based on the stop modes of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, referring to the prize determination table stored in the prize determination table storage means 195 of the storage means 190, display is made on the effective line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination being made is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, the prize determination table is set so that the presence or absence of a bonus, replay, or a small winning combination can be determined (hereinafter referred to as "winning determination") by the symbol combination displayed on the activated line L1 in the state where each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the prize determination means 140 in the prize determination process. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, when the small winning combination is achieved, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out by the payout control means 150 is performed, and the replay is won. Causes the replay processing means 160 to execute a process to be executed without consuming medals in the next game, and when the combination serving as a trigger for shifting the gaming state such as a bonus is won, the gaming state transition control means 170 plays the gaming state The process of migrating the

  The payout control unit 150 performs payout processing on the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when the small winning combination is won, the payout number of medals in the game is determined based on the payout predetermined for each winning combination, and the medal corresponding to the determined payout number is used as a payout device. Control is performed to cause the hopper unit 320 to pay out. In the present embodiment, as described above, the bell payouts set to the number of payouts larger than the specified number of inputs are set to nine. Also, the payout of the rare combination, which is set to the same number of payouts as the stipulated number of payouts, is set to three. Further, the special small role 1 to special small role 6 which are set to the number of payouts smaller than the prescribed insertion number, and the payout of the dropout role are all set to one.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the medals of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a paid-out medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on the input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. When the medal credit is permitted, instead of actually paying out the medal by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits (credited) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the storage means 190 A credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the number of medals) is performed to virtually pay out the medals.

  The replay processing means 160 determines that the symbol combination indicating a replay of any of the plurality of replay roles to be described later is stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 by the prize determination means 140, and the replay is won, Replay processing (replay processing) is performed to set the preparation state in which the game can be performed without requiring the insertion of medals for the next game. That is, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when the replay is won, an automatic insertion process is performed in which the medals for the prescribed number of insertions are automatically inserted without using the medals (including credit medals) of the player's hand. In the state where the same effective line L1 as the previous game is set, the start operation for the next start lever SL is waited.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 performs RT state transition control processing for transitioning between the non-RT state and the RT3 state, and a bonus established state from the current gaming state when RBB or CBB is won in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means When the winning symbol combination of RBB or CBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the bonus establishment state transition control processing to be shifted to and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bonus displayed on the effective line L1 is activated. And a bonus state transition control process of transitioning the gaming state to the RBB operating state or the CBB operating state. Here, one condition may be defined as the transition condition of each gaming state, and a plurality of conditions may be defined. When a plurality of conditions are determined, the game is performed based on the satisfaction of any one of the plurality of predetermined conditions or the satisfaction of all the plurality of predetermined conditions. The state can be shifted to another gaming state.

  FIG. 6 is a state transition diagram showing gaming states which can be shifted from each gaming state in the control relating to the transition of the gaming state executed by the gaming state transition control means 170. In the following description, the non-RT state to the RT3 state are collectively referred to as "non-bonus state". Further, in the following description, the RBB operating state and the CBB operating state are collectively referred to as a "bonus state".

  As shown in FIG. 6, the non-RT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and the transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, one of the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 3" is won, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed and operated in incorrect answer order, and stop The button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at a timing when the special small role 1 to the special small portion 3 can not be won, and the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop control to win any of the small portion, replay and bonus When a symbol combination (dropped eye) different from the symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the non-RT state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

  The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state capable of transitioning from the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and the transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state and the RT3 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a batting order in which one of the winning area "strike order replay 1" to the hit area "strike order replay 6" is won and the RT2 transition replay can be won. When it is operated and the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, it shifts to the RT2 state, winning area "strike replay 1" to winning area "strike replay The stop button B1 to stop button B3 are pressed and operated in a batting sequence capable of winning an RT3 transition replay, and the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay is an effective line by reel stop control by the reel control means 130. If it is displayed on L1, it shifts to RT3 state. In the RT1 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state in which the transition is made when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. From the RT2 state, transition to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT2 state, any one of the winning area “bat order bell 1” to the winning area “bat order bell 3” is won, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed and operated in incorrect answer order, and stop The button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at a timing when the special small role 1 to the special small portion 3 can not be won, and the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop control to win any of the small portion, replay and bonus When a symbol combination (dropped eye) different from the symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, by referring to the internal lottery table C in which the probability of winning a small winning combination, a replay or a bonus is set extremely high by setting the winning probability of replay to, for example, about 1 / 1.5 An internal lottery will be held. The RT2 state in which the winning probability of the replay is set to the winning probability higher than the non-RT state, the RT1 state, and the RT3 state constitutes the high replay time state (high RT state) in this embodiment.

  The RT3 state is a gaming state in which a transition is made to the RT3 state in response to the winning symbol combination of the RT3 transition replay being displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. The game state transition control means 170 sets a value (255 games in the present embodiment) corresponding to a predetermined number of game times to a game number counter (not shown) of the memory means 190, and one game is executed. Decrement update which subtracts a fixed value (for example, "1") equivalent to a game for one game from the value stored in the game number counter (hereinafter, the value stored in each counter is also described as "stored value") Is done. From the RT3 state, transition to the non-RT state is possible. Specifically, in the RT3 state, when the game of 255 games is executed and the value stored in the number-of-games counter becomes 0, the state shifts to the non-RT state. In the RT3 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D in which the winning probability of replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, different gaming properties are realized in each gaming state by transitioning the gaming state between the non-RT state and the RT3 state. Specifically, in the non-RT state, the RT1 state, and the RT3 state, in which the normal game is executed, the slot machine 1 of the embodiment wins any of the small winning combination, the replay, and the bonus, or any of the winning combinations. It is the composition which becomes non-winning (loss) which does not win.

  In the RT2 state where the probability of winning a replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5, the winning area includes replays such as a winning area “normal replay 1” and a winning area “normal replay 2”. The probability of winning is high, an advantage period is started by the advantage period control means 200A to be described later, and an assist time state (hereinafter referred to as an assist function state control means for executing the specific function) A so-called assist replay time game (hereinafter referred to as assist) is executed in the RT2 state in which a game in the AT state is won with a higher probability of replay than other game states by starting assist time described as "AT". Replay time is also described as "ART"). The state in which the gaming state is controlled to the RT2 state by the gaming state transition control means 170 and the instruction function state is controlled to the AT state by the instruction function state control means 200B is the assist replay time state (ART state in this embodiment). Configure).

  By executing the AT state in the RT2 state, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 3" are won, the number of correct answering batts is notified and the number is larger than the specified number It is possible to assist the player in winning the bell for which the payout is set, and to allow the player to win medals. As described above, the RT2 state is a gaming state in which the AT state control unit 200B executes the AT state to be advantageous over other gaming states while the RBB and CBB are not in operation. State, RT1 state and RT3 state is a game state that can be won in replay with a higher probability of replay, and constitutes the second game state in the present embodiment, non-RT state, RT1 state, RT3 state, this implementation Configure the first gaming state in the form.

  Next, among the control related to the transition of the gaming state executed by the gaming state transition control means 170, the bonus establishment state transition control processing will be described. The gaming state transition control means 170 executes a bonus establishment state transition control process of causing the gaming state to transition from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state when the winning area including the bonus is won in the internal lottery. Specifically, when the gaming state transition control means 170 wins a winning area including a bonus such as a winning area "RBB" or a winning area "CBB" in an internal lottery in a non-RT state, for example, the gaming state is non- Transition from the RT state to the bonus established state.

  Further, in the slot machine 1, when the winning area including the bonus is won and the winning bonus is not won, as described above, the lottery flag of the won bonus is maintained in the established state. In the slot machine 1, in the subsequent games until the bonus is won, the game is executed in the bonus established state in which the lottery flag of the bonus is established and carried over. In the bonus establishment state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E in which the winning probability of replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, in the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery table has a lower probability of winning of replay than the state of RT2 in which the probability of winning a small winning combination, replay or bonus is extremely high in the internal lottery. Is configured to execute an internal lottery. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the small winning combination or the replay is won in the internal lottery in the bonus establishment state, since the bonus lottery flag is carried over in the establishment state, the small winning combination and the bonus or the replay and bonus are It will be in the state where it was won in duplicate. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority is determined in the order of “replay> small part> bonus”. Further, in the slot machine 1, the special small role 1 to special small portion 3 winning when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate, and the special small role 1 to special selected when winning the winning combination. When the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed at a pressing timing at which the small role 3 can not be won, a missed shot is displayed, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 are pressed at a pressing timing at which the dropping role can not be won. In addition, it is configured to be a dropout (non-winning) in which neither role wins.

  Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the winning probability of the replay in the bonus formation state is set to be lower than the winning probability of the replay in the RT2 state, and the slot machine 1 can be lost (unwinning) in the internal lottery. By doing this, it is configured that a bonus may be independently won. As a result, in the slot machine 1, it becomes possible to win a bonus in which the lottery flag continues to be set to the established state when a loss (non-election) occurs in the internal lottery in the bonus established state.

  Next, among the control related to the transition of the gaming state executed by the gaming state transition control means 170, the bonus state transition control processing will be described. The game state transition control means 170 activates the RBB as a bonus state transition control process when the winning symbol combination of RBB is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, and the game state is bonused. Transition from the established state to the RBB operating state. In addition, the gaming state transition control means 170 operates the CBB as a bonus state transition control process when the winning symbol combination of CBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Is transferred from the bonus established state to the CBB activated state.

  When transitioning to the RBB operating state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts processing of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown) which is a counter of the storage means 190. The RBB operating state of this embodiment is configured such that the RB operates continuously without depending on the display of the winning symbol combination of the regular bonus (hereinafter, the regular bonus is described as "RB") as the first kind special character. It is done. From the RBB operating state, transition to the non-RT state is possible. Specifically, in the RBB operating state, payout of more than 323 medals is executed, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter corresponds to a predetermined number of payouts determined in advance (value in the present embodiment) When "324" is reached, the active RBB is ended, and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state. In the RBB operating state, a winning area "JAC" is set as a winning area for a small winning combination, and an internal lottery is performed with reference to an internal lottery table F set to win the winning area "JAC" with extremely high probability.

  When transitioning to the CBB operating state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts processing of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter which is a counter of the storage means 190. The CBB operating state of this embodiment is configured such that the CB operates continuously without depending on the display of the winning combination of symbols of the CB. From the CBB operating state, transition to the non-RT state is possible. Specifically, in the CBB operating state, payout of medals exceeding 224 is executed, and a value stored in the bonus end determination counter corresponds to a predetermined number of payouts (value in the present embodiment) When "225" is reached, the operating CBB is ended, and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state. In the CBB operating state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table G which is set such that the result of the internal lottery is lost (not elected).

  As described above, when the gaming state is the CBB operating state, the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment is configured such that the CB operates continuously regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of the CB. Then, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the lottery flags of all the small winning combinations are set to the established state. Further, in the reel stop control, the reel control means 130 determines the priority of the candidate for each stop position so that the priority becomes higher as the small winning combination with a large payout, ie, the stop position where the bell can be won The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 which are rotating are stopped so that the winning symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L1.

  Based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 196, the effect control means 180 relates to effects relating to a game, such as display effects performed using the display device 330 and sound effects performed using the audio device 340, for example. Take control. Specifically, at the time of operation of each configuration of the slot machine 1 by the player for operations such as the insertion of medals, the single bet button BT, the max bet button MB, the start lever SL, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, At the occurrence of a game event such as a change of state, the lamp and LED lights up or blinks, the display contents of the display 330 change, the sound from the speaker, the start switch 230 outputs the start signal, and the first reel By performing effects using the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 to delay the start of rotation of the R1 to R3 reels R3 performs effects such as enhancing the game and controlling the effects for assisting the game .

  Further, the effect control unit 180 causes each component of the effect device 300 to execute effects based on each effect state. In the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 obtains a random number from the random number storage area of the random number generation unit 110 for each lottery process using random numbers, and a plurality of effect lottery stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 197 Each lottery process is executed using the effect lottery table required for each lottery process among the tables.

  The effect control unit 180 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a process of selecting and drawing an arbitrary layer from a plurality of layers to which priority is set for an image displayed on the display device 330. The slot machine 1 is configured such that the image drawn in the upper layer of the plurality of layers is displayed on the display device 330 in preference to the image drawn in the lower layer. Specifically, in the slot machine 1, an image serving as a background is drawn on the lower layer, and a character or an image relating to a prize assistance effect described later is drawn on the upper layer, whereby the character or the prize on the background is produced. An image or the like related to the assistance effect is displayed on the display device 330.

  In addition, the effect control means 180 of the present embodiment stores the number of medals (the number of payouts) paid out by the slot machine 1 in the bonus state in the storage means 190 when the bonus state is started by the gaming state transition control means 170. The first counter 201a, which is a counter provided and which counts the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 in the bonus state, is counted. Then, the effect control means 180 indicates that the bonus state has ended when the stored value of the first sheet number counter 201a is equal to or more than the first value (the value "51" in the present embodiment) at the end of the bonus state. Is displayed on the display device 330, which is a display indicating the.

  Also, in the effect control means 180, the gaming state is controlled to the RT2 state by the gaming state transition control means 170, and the ART function is started by the instruction function state being controlled to the AT state by the instruction function state control means 200B described later. The counter (difference number) between the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 in the ART state and the number of medals inserted by the player is a counter provided in the storage means 190 in the ART state. The second number counter 201b is a counter that counts the difference between the number of medals paid out and the number of medals inserted by the player.

  Here, for example, when the bonus is activated during the ART state, the effect control means 180 counts the number of medals paid out during the operation of the bonus by the first sheet number counter 201a, and the difference number of medals during the bonus operation is It is counted by the second sheet number counter 201b. In addition, the effect control means 180, when the bonus is activated during ART state, and then the bonus is ended and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state by the gaming state transition control means 170, the RT2 state for the gaming state Even though it has transitioned to the non-RT state where the probability of winning the replay is lower, the state of the AT function continues for the indication function state, so although the ART state is temporarily suspended, it has not been completed yet. The determination is continued, and counting of the number of difference medals by the second number counter 201b is continued until the AT state ends.

  That is, when the effect control means 180 starts the ART state once, the ART state continues even when the gaming state shifts from the RT2 state to another gaming state at least until the AT state ends. It is comprised so that it may determine. The state from when the ART state is started to when the AT state is ended, including when the transition of the game state is performed halfway, such as when the bonus state is activated and ended halfway when the ART state is once started. That is, a state until a normal non-AT state is started, which is a disadvantageous state for the player with respect to the payout of medals by the game being executed, constitutes a series of ART states.

  It should be noted that, once the ART control unit 180 starts the ART state, a series of processes are performed until the gaming state transition control unit 170 moves from the RT2 state to the RT1 state after the AT state is ended by the instruction function state control unit 200B. It may be configured to determine that the ART state of is continuing. When configured in this way, for example, the effect control means 180 is a case where the indication function state is shifted from the AT state to the normal non-AT state (described later) by the indication function state control means 200B after the ART state is started. Even when the gaming state transition control means 170 keeps the gaming state in the RT2 state, a series of ART states continues when the instructing function state control means 200B shifts the instructing function state to the AT state again. It is comprised so that it may determine. Also, when the ART control unit 180 starts the ART state, the AT function is terminated by the instruction function state control unit 200B, and then the gaming state transition control unit 170 transfers the RT2 state to the RT1 state, and then the RT1 state. It may be configured to determine that a series of ART states are continuing until the gaming state is shifted from the ST to the RT3 state. When configured in this way, the effect control means 180 continues until it wins a game or bonus of a predetermined number of games (255 games in this embodiment), so the transition to the RT2 state is from other non-bonus states In order to determine that a series of ART states have ended when transitioning to RT3 state which is a disadvantage state for the player regarding payout of difficult medals, a reminder display to be described later is displayed after transitioning to RT3 state. Configured

  In addition, when the bonus state is started during a series of ART states, the effect control means 180 is configured to display a bonus end screen and an alert display to be described later after the end of the bonus state.

  The effect control means 180 displays that the ART state has ended when the stored value of the second sheet number counter 201b is greater than or equal to the second value (the value "300" in this embodiment) at the end of the ART state. The display unit 330 displays the ART end screen on the display unit 330. The second value may be a value less than the value “300”, and is not limited to the present embodiment as long as it is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

  The effect control means 180 of the present embodiment is a display for alerting the player to the continuation of the game when the bonus end screen or the ART end screen is displayed on the display device 330, and the effect to the player's game is displayed. The display unit 330 displays a warning display (intrusion prevention display), which is a display for preventing intruding. When displaying the alert display, the effect control unit 180 starts counting using the alert display timer 202 which is a timer provided in the storage unit 190 from the time when the display is started, and the alert display timer 202 The alert display is continued to be displayed on the display device 330 until the timed time reaches or exceeds a predetermined time (3 seconds in the present embodiment). The details of control relating to the display of the bonus end screen, the ART end screen, and the alert display will be described later.

  The advantageous period control means 200A is an advantageous period (advantage zone) in which a game capable of executing a prize assisting control for assisting the winning of a specific combination is executed and a period in which a game in which the prize assisting control is not executed is executed. Execute control related to transition between a certain non-preferred period (non-preferred interval). In the game within the non-favorable period, the advantageous value control means 200A controls the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191 as a control relating to the transition between the advantageous period and the non-favorable period. Even if the winning probability does not change, and it is a winning area that can be won when there is any gaming state from the non-RT state to the RT3 state, that is, the winning area "RBB" is won among the winning areas with no setting difference. In this case, an advantageous period lottery, which is a lottery for determining whether or not to end the non-advantage period and start the advantageous period, is executed.

  In the advantageous period lottery, the advantageous period control means 200A first correlates “start of advantageous period” and “loss (not won)” with each of the plurality of random numbers from the advantageous period control data storage means 198. The advantageous period transition lottery table which is a data table is acquired. Then, the advantage period control means 200A acquires a random number from the random number generation means 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantage period transition lottery table, and based on the comparison result, the advantage period as soon as the gaming state shifts to the RBB operating state. Decide whether to start or not. The advantageous period control data storage unit 198 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state in the predetermined control process executed by the advantageous period control unit 200A within the advantageous period.

  The advantageous period control means 200A ends the advantageous period and starts the non-advantage period from the next game when the condition for ending the advantageous period is satisfied, and initializes various flags, numerical values, etc. set in the advantageous period. Execute end processing which is processing. Further, the advantageous period control unit 200A turns on the advantageous period notifying unit 500A when the advantageous period starts, and turns off the advantageous period notifying unit 500A when the non- advantageous period starts.

  In addition, the advantageous period control means 200A restricts the execution of processing relating to the start and end of the advantageous period at the time of winning of the winning area where the winning probability in the internal lottery is changed by the set value stored in the set value storage means 191. In the indication function state control means 200B to be described later, instructions among a plurality of indication function states relating to an indication function including an AT state which is a state capable of executing prize assistance control. The processing (instruction function processing) other than the processing related to the operation of the instruction function such as the processing related to the transition of the function state is configured not to be executed with reference to the information related to the setting value. With such a configuration, the slot machine 1 can prevent a remarkable difference from being generated in the game property depending on the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191, and can prevent the generation of excessive prosperity. .

  When the advantage period is started by the advantage period control means 200A, the indication function state control means 200B executes a process relating to the operation of the indication function for assisting the winning of the specific part (prize assistance control) and the prize assistance control. Processing other than processing related to the operation of the instruction function such as processing related to the transition of the instruction function state among a plurality of instruction function states including the AT state which is a possible state (instruction function process); Perform such control (assist time control). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the program data and data table used in the assist time control by the pointing function status control means 200 B, the counter, and various flags set to the ON state or the OFF state It is stored in the storage unit 199. In the present embodiment, the indication function state control means 200B differs depending on the winning area in which the internal lottery means 120 has won as the indication function activation processing, when the indication function state is a state capable of executing the prize assistance control. By generating a win command and transmitting the created win command to the main control display device 500, it is informed which win area is the win area selected in the internal lottery, and the player is notified by the stop button B1 to stop. The notification display, which is a function (instruction function) for instructing the operation method of the button B3, is configured to be able to execute pay assist control, which is control executed by the main control display device 500.

  Here, the winning area to be subjected to the prize assistance control includes the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 3" and the winning area "batning replay 1" to the winning area "batning replay 6". Be In addition, the part (specific part) whose probability of winning is increased by the prize assistance control is the bell at the time of winning of the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "batning bell 3", the winning area "batning replay 1" to the winning area " It is RT2 transition replay at the time of winning a batting replay 6 ".

  Further, when the AT state is being executed by the instruction function state control means 200B, the effect control means 180 is a effect for assisting the winning of the specific part based on the winning command transmitted from the internal lottery means 120. Run. For example, when the winning command indicating that the winning area "batning bell 1" has been won in the internal lottery is transmitted from the internal lottery means 120, the effect control means 180 can produce the correct order for the correct winning order which can win the bell Execute the prize assistance effect notified by.

  FIG. 7 is a state transition diagram showing details of a period controlled by the advantageous period control means 200A of the present embodiment and an indication function state controlled by the AT state control means 200B.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the non-advantage period is a period in which the control related to the indication function by the indication function state control means 200B based on the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 is not executed. The advantageous period control means 200A wins the "start of the advantageous period" in the advantageous period transition lottery which is executed when the winning area "RBB" is won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 in the game during the non advantageous period. If the RBB does not win in the game in which the non-advantage period is continued and the “start of the advantageous period” is won and the advantageous period transition lottery is executed, the non-advantage period is ended and the standby period from the next game ( When the RBB wins in the game in which the standby period is started and the "start of the advantageous period" is won and the advantageous period transition lottery is executed, the non-advantage period is ended and the advantageous period is started from the next game.

  The waiting period is a period started when the gaming state controlled by the gaming state transition control means 170 is the bonus established state and the winning of the "start of the advantageous period" in the advantageous period transition lottery, and the internal lottery means This is a period during which the control related to the instruction function by the instruction function state control means 200B based on the result of the internal lottery by 120 is not executed. In the game in the standby period, the advantageous period control means 200A continues the standby period until the RBB wins, and ends the standby period when the RBB wins and starts the advantageous period from the next game.

  The advantageous period is a period in which the control related to the indication function by the indication function state control means 200B based on the result of the internal drawing by the internal drawing means 120 can be executed. The advantage period control means 200A is a counter included in the advantage period control data storage means 198 from the game having started the advantage period, and the advantage period end determination counter (not shown) for storing the value updated by the advantage period control means 200A. Each time one game is executed, the value “1”, which is a value corresponding to one game, is added to), and an update process is performed to incrementally update the stored value of the advantage period end determination counter. When a game of 1500 games is executed, that is, when the stored value of the advantage period end determination counter reaches the value "1500", it is determined that the specific end condition is established as the condition for ending the advantage period, and the advantage period is set. End processing is performed to start the non-advantage period from the next game. In the termination process, the advantage period control unit 200A initializes all information used in various control processes in the advantage period, such as each flag set to ON in the advantage period and a value set in the advantage period. The period from the start of the advantageous period to the execution of the 1500 game constitutes the predetermined period in the present embodiment.

  In addition, when the advantageous period control means 200A wins the RBB or CBB during the advantageous period, the prize auxiliary control of the control related to the indication function based on the result of the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 by the instruction function state control means 200B. Cancel the control other than In the advantageous period control means 200A, when the RBB is won during the advantageous period, the game is switched to the RBB activated state, and the RBB is won in the control related to the indication function by the indication function state control means 200B. The control (instruction function processing) other than the prize assistance control which was canceled based on that basis can be re-executed, and when the CBB wins during the advantageous period, the instruction function state starts from the game in which the gaming state has shifted from the CBB operating state to the non-RT state The control (instruction function processing) other than the prize auxiliary control stopped based on the winning of the CBB among the control related to the instruction function by the control means 200B is again made executable.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability does not change regardless of whether the set value stored in the set value storage unit 191 is the winning area “RBB”, and the winning probability does not change. The winning area is set as a winning area which can be won in any of the gaming states RT state to RT3 state, and the winning area "CBB" is varied depending on the set value stored in the set value storage means 191. It is set as an area. For this reason, the indication function state control means 200B is in a state where the RBB operation state during the advantageous period is started based on the action of the bonus in which the winning probability does not change by the set value stored in the set value storage means 191. From the above, it is configured to be able to execute control related to the indication function in the RBB operating state during the advantageous period, and the CBB operating state during the advantageous period varies in winning probability by the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191. In the CBB operating state during the advantageous period, the indication function processing is not performed because the state is started based on the operation of the control unit.

  Note that the advantageous period control means 200A of the present embodiment, in addition to the case where the gaming state is the non-bonus state, the gaming state also when any of the bonus establishment state, the RBB operating state and the CBB operating state. As in the non-bonus state, each time one game is executed, the advantage period end determination counter stored value is cumulatively added (updated) by the value "1" corresponding to one game. Execute the update process.

  Next, the indication function state controlled by the indication function state control means 200B will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a bonus state at the start, a non-AT normal state, as a state (instruction function state) related to the instruction function when the advantage period is started by the advantage period control means 200A. It has a state, a chance zone state (CZ state), an AT state, a bonus waiting state, an advantageous RBB state, and an advantageous CBB state.

  The start bonus state is an instruction function state which is started when the advantage period is started by the advantage period control means 200A, and is a state in which control relating to the indication function by the indication function condition control means 200B can be performed. In the start bonus state, the indicating function state control means 200B continues the start bonus state until the gaming state is shifted from the RBB operating state to the non-RT state by the gaming state transition control means 170, and the gaming state is the non RT state. When it is shifted to, the start bonus state is ended and the normal non-AT state is started. In the start bonus state, the indication function state control means 200B is configured to be able to execute control related to the indication function.

  The normal non-AT state is a state started when the start bonus state ends, and is a state in which control relating to the instruction function by the instruction function state control means 200B can be performed, and until another state is started. It is in the state of continuing. In the normal non-AT state, the instructed function state control means 200B shifts the instructed function state to the CZ state when the winning area "rare role" or the elected area "reary play" is won in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. In the CZ lottery, which is a lottery for determining whether or not the game is in progress, the designated function state is shifted to the CZ state when “transition to the CZ state” is won.

  The CZ state is an instruction function state which is started when the "transition to the CZ state" is won in the CZ lottery executed in the normal non-AT state, and the control related to the instruction function by the instruction function state control means 200B is executed It is possible. In the CZ state, the instruction function state control unit 200B sets a value (for example, 10 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in a CZ end determination counter (not shown) of the storage unit 190 at the start of the CZ state. Until each game is executed, the stored value of the CZ end determination counter is decremented by one each of which is a value corresponding to one game at the time of execution of each game, and each game instruction function state is shifted to the AT state It is configured to execute the AT lottery, which is a lottery for determining whether or not to be made to be able to shift to the AT state where the prize assistance control is executed, and is in an advantageous state over the normal non-AT state. There is. The indicating function state control means 200B shifts the indicating function state to the AT state when the "transition to the AT state" is won by the AT lottery before the value stored in the CZ end determination counter becomes the value "0". . On the other hand, the instruction function state control means 200B ends the CZ state when the "transition to the AT state" is not won even in the AT lottery in the game in which the stored value of the CZ end determination counter becomes "0". . When the CZ state ends without the indication function state transitioning to the AT state, the advantageous period control means 200A ends the advantageous period and starts the non-advantage period after executing the end processing.

  The AT state is a state started when "transition to the AT state" is determined in the AT lottery executed in the CZ state, and a state in which control relating to the indication function by the indication function state control means 200B is executable. It is. In the AT state, at the start of the AT state, the indicating function state control means 200B has a value corresponding to the number of games determined as a result of the AT lottery in an AT end determination counter (not shown) which is a counter included in the storage means 190. Set Then, the instruction function state control means 200B wins from the winning area "strike replay 1" to the winning area "strike replay 6" by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, and from the next game in which the winning assistance control of the RT2 transition replay is executed. Thereafter, every time each game in the AT state is executed, the stored value of the AT end determination counter is decremented by one, which is a value corresponding to one game.

  In the AT state, the indicating function state control means 200B is configured to be able to execute the prize assistance control when winning the winning area "run order bell 1" to the win area "run order bell 3" in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. . As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning assistance control is executed to increase the probability that the bell will be won when winning in the winning area “run order bell 1” to the win area “run order bell 3”. It is configured. Thereby, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when the AT state is started in the advantageous period and the number of games executed in the advantageous period is 1500 games or less, the winning of the bell is assisted by the winning area “batning bell 1)-By winning the bell when winning the winning area "batning bell 3", it is possible to make the player obtain medals, and at the time of winning the winning area "bating bell 1"-the winning area "bating bell 3" When the bell is won, the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 prevents the display of a missed eye on the effective line L1, and maintains the gaming state in the RT2 state, in which the winning probability of replay is higher than the RT1 state. Once the ART state is started, it is possible to realize the playability that can maintain the ART state.

  Further, in the AT state, the instructed function state control means 200B adds the stored value of the AT end determination counter when the winning area "rare role" or the winning area "reary play" is won in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120. That is, it is possible to execute an addition process of executing an addition lottery to determine whether to add (addition) the period in which the AT state continues, and adding the result of the addition lottery to the AT end determination counter.

Since the effect control means 180 ends the alert display when the time has passed, the game started at time t36 is ended, and the start lever SL is operated to start the next game of the game started at time t36. Thus, the warning display can be continuously displayed even in a state in which the start of rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is awaited by the reel control means 130 until the weight ends.

<When the warning display is not displayed at the end of the special award>
The effect control means 180 of the present embodiment displays a reminder display when displaying the ART end screen when the stored value of the second sheet number counter 201b at the end of a series of ART states is less than the value "300". It is configured not to. With this configuration, the slot machine 1 according to this embodiment has a small difference between the medals (game value) given to the player in the ART state, which is a special prize, and the medals spent by the player in the ART state. If it is not a situation where the player is deeply immersed in the game, that is, the situation where so-called stagnation occurs, the warning display is displayed on the display device 330, and the interest for the player's game or effect is significantly reduced. You can prevent it from happening.

  In addition, in the slot machine 1, even when a single bonus (SB) or CB as a normal combination is activated as a bonus, a bonus which can not be paid out for more than 50 medals which is ended in one game and can not be generated, or RBB , RB, CBB may be configured to have RBB, RB, CBB designed so that the number of medals paid out does not exceed 50. When configured in this manner, in the slot machine 1, the stored value of the first number counter 201a is less than the value "51" when the bonus in which the number of medals paid out does not exceed 50 is activated and terminated. The bonus end screen and the alert display may not be displayed, or the bonus end screen may be displayed but the alert display may not be displayed. When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a small number of payouts, which is the number of medals (game value) awarded to the player in the bonus state which is the special prize, and the player A warning display is displayed on the display device 330 when it is not in a situation where so-called enthusiasm occurs excessively so that the player's interest in the game or the presentation is not significantly reduced. Can.

  In particular, in the slot machine 1 configured as described above, the bonus state ending with the number of payouts of 50 or less is designed to be started more frequently than the bonus state ending with the number of payouts of 51 or more. If the warning display is displayed on the display device 330 at the end of the bonus state ending with the number of payouts of 50 or less, the warning display is frequently performed during the game. Since the interest of the player in the game and the effect is significantly reduced, by not displaying the warning display at the end of the bonus state ending with the number of payouts of 50 or less, the player can be more effectively It is possible to prevent the interest for the game and the presentation from being significantly reduced.

  The player is awarded the value using the first number counter 201a that counts the number of payouts as a value using the gaming value given to the player in the bonus state, and the gaming value given to the player in the ART state. A second number counter 201b for counting the number of differences, which is the difference between the game value played and the game value spent by the player, constitutes the counting counter in the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 10 (D), the effect control means 180 starts the display of the alert display from the state shown in FIG. 10 (C), whereby a new state corresponding to the next game of the game in which the ART state is ended is performed. Only the screen display is displayed on the display device 330.

<Summary of this embodiment>
As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, termination of the activated bonus state by the gaming state transition control means 170 and termination of the ART state by the gaming state transition control means 170 and the instruction function state control means 200B are performed. In the end period that occurs, by performing a reminder display, which is a display that draws the player's attention to the continuation of the game, the player is alerted to the so-called enthusiasm in which the game is excessively devoted , It is possible to prevent the player from getting stuck in the game.

3. Modified Example In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 continuously displays the alert display for a predetermined time period using the alert display timer 202, and by executing an effect corresponding to the game in the background, Although the alert display is configured to continue for a predetermined time without stopping the progress of the game, the present invention is not limited thereto. In the case of executing the alert display, for example, the slot machine 1 temporarily suspends the progress of the game by generating a freeze that temporarily delays the progress of the game until the display of the alert display continues for a predetermined time. It may be configured to be delayed in time to execute a reminder display. When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 can execute the alert display while maintaining the bonus end screen or the ART end screen, so, for example, around the alert display as the bonus end screen or the ART end screen. An effect such as displaying a rainbow-colored frame or the like and combining a bonus end screen or ART end screen with a reminder display can also be performed, and it is possible to further improve the interest for the player's effect.

  In addition, the slot machine 1 may be configured to display a dedicated display for executing alerting display on the display device 330, for example, in the next game after the special prize is finished. When configured in this manner, in the slot machine 1, at least from the start of rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the current game to the start of rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the next game Since about 4.1 seconds necessarily elapses, a predetermined time which is about 3 seconds before one game is executed and the rotation start of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the next game occurs It is possible to reliably execute the display and end of the alerting display which is continuously displayed until the lapse, and it is possible to execute an effect corresponding to the game in which the alerting display is displayed, and the alerting display and the game It is possible to prevent the player's interest in the presentation from being lowered by the fact that the presentation is not engaged.

  In addition, for example, when the special prize ends, the slot machine 1 displays the alert display until a predetermined time elapses, and displays an end screen corresponding to the end of the special prize after the predetermined time elapses. May be configured. When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 can improve the interest of the player at the end of the special prize since the alert display does not affect the effect at the end of the special prize. In addition, for example, when the special prize is ended, the slot machine 1 displays the end screen until the preset time elapses, and when the end screen is displayed, the alert display is given after the preset time elapses. It may be configured to display until the time has elapsed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 is configured to display a warning display on the display device 330 in the game in which the special award ends within the end period in which the end of the special award occurs. However, it is not limited to this. In addition to the examples of FIG. 8A, FIG. 8B, FIG. 9A, and FIG. 9B, the effect control means 180, for example, immediately after the end period starts, specifically, the ART state is The alert display may be displayed on the display device 330 in the game immediately before the end of the special award, such as one game before the end, and the alert display is displayed on the display device 330 at a predetermined timing within the end period. It may be configured to

  When configured in this manner, the effect control unit 180 may be configured not to accompany the display of the end screen for the alert display. Specifically, as predetermined timing within the end period, for example, the effect control means 180 displays a warning display in the game before the end of the special award game, and displays the end screen in the game in which the special award ends, etc. The display of the end screen and the display of the reminder display may be configured not to be simultaneous.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 is configured to continue the display until a predetermined time elapses when the alert display is displayed on the display device 330, but is not limited to this. For example, when the alert display is displayed on the display device 330, the effect control unit 180 may be configured to continue the display until a predetermined number of games are played. Further, the effect control unit 180 may set a time (for example, 10 seconds) in which a plurality of games can be performed for a predetermined time for continuing the display of the alerting display.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 is configured to display a bonus end screen and a warning display on the display device 330 at the end of the bonus state, when transitioning to the bonus state during the ART state. But it is not limited to this. When the bonus state is started while in the ART state, the effect control means 180 does not display the bonus end screen after the end of the bonus state based on the fact that a series of ART states continues even after the end of the bonus state. It may be configured to decide not to display the warning display based on the fact that it is determined that the bonus end screen is not displayed.

  When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 displays a warning display during a series of continuous ART states, and can prevent the player from losing interest in the game and the effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has the RBB operating state, the CCBB operating state, and the ART state as special prizes, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the game is executed in the started state. As long as the player is awarded a medal, any state may be possessed as a special prize. For example, although the AT state is started by the indication function state control means 200B, the game state transition control It may have a single AT state that is not an ART state without transition of the gaming state by means 170 as a special prize. Further, the slot machine 1 has a configuration in which, for example, a small combination is not included in the combination (the lottery related to the instruction function) in which the probability of winning changes as the instruction function state control means 200B executes the instruction function activation process. Expected value of medal acquisition is 1.0, that is, the number of medals paid out per game is approximately equal to the number of medals inserted by playing replay with an extremely high probability, thus giving a game value The RT state may be provided as a special prize if it is configured to be advantageous to the player with respect to and has an RT state that is ended by execution of a predetermined number of games played.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 is configured to display a reminder display in the next game in which the special effect is performed, when executing the special effect after the end of the ART state. It is not limited. The effect control means 180 is configured to execute the special effect after the end of the ART state, and when not displaying the ART end screen, determine not to display the alert display based on the fact that the ART end screen is not displayed. May be

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is provided with the first sheet counter 201a as a counter for counting the number of medals paid out in the bonus state, but the present invention is not limited to this. The effect control means 180 uses information of the stored value of the bonus end determination counter (not shown) for counting the number of medals paid out in the bonus state to control the end conditions of the bonus by the control means 170, It may be configured to determine whether or not the number of payouts has reached a predetermined value or more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 uses the second number counter 201b to calculate the difference between the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 and the number of medals inserted by the player in a series of ART states. At the end of a series of ART states, the display unit 330 is configured to execute alerting display when the stored value of the second sheet number counter 201b is equal to or greater than the value "300" as the second value. But it is not limited to this. The effect control means 180 counts, for example, the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 using the second number counter 201b, and the stored value of the second number counter 201b is used as the second value at the end of a series of ART states. The alert display may be configured to be performed on the display device 330 when the value is “300” or more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the alert display, the effect control means 180 displays, on the display device 330, an image in which the characters are described in two lines, “Let's be careful about the entanglement. Pachinko / pachislot is a play enjoyed moderately”. Although it is comprised, it is not limited to this. The presentation control means 180 may be, for example, “Pachinko / pachislot is a play to be enjoyed moderately, and let's be careful about the entanglement”, the order of display may be a description different from that of the present embodiment, and does not mention pachinko. It may be described (only "Please note that pachislot is a play to be enjoyed moderately"), and the number of lines to be displayed may be one or three or more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 sets the height H [mm] to H ≧ {10 × (2D−5)} ÷ 9 and the inch of the liquid crystal monitor of the display device 330 for the display size of the alert display. Although it is configured to be set to a value calculated by calculation according to D or more, it is not limited to this. For example, when the liquid crystal monitor of the display device 330 has a size of less than 7 inches, the effect control unit 180 may set H = 10 [mm]. Further, for example, when the liquid crystal monitor of the display device 330 has a size larger than 16 inches, the effect control means 180 may set H = 30 [mm] because the height H exceeds 30 mm.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 is configured to display one predetermined alerting display on the display device 330, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The effect control means 180 displays, on the display device 330, a corresponding alerting display, for example, when the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191 is an even number, or when it is the value "4" or more. It may be configured as follows. Specifically, the effect control means 180 has, for example, the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191 having the value “4” or more, in a state where the normal alert display is a color scheme based on red. In the case where the alert display of the color arrangement based on blue is displayed, and the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191 is an even value, the character is displayed in a font different from the normal alert display. May be configured to display a reminder display in which is described, corresponding elements that do not change the content of the reminder display, such as the color arrangement of the reminder display and the font of characters displayed on the reminder display Thus, the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 191 may be suggested by the alert display.

  Moreover, although the effect control means 180 displays one type of alerting display determined in advance for the alerting display, by combining the effect corresponding to the game executed in parallel with the alerting display with the alerting display The setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 191 may be suggested. Specifically, although the effect control means 180 displays a predetermined type of alerting display for alerting display, a specific color (for example, a rainbow) is displayed around the alerting display as an effect corresponding to a game. The setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 191 may be suggested by performing an effect of displaying a frame surrounding the alert display in color).

  Further, the effect control means 180 is extremely winning in the AT state when the execution of the ART state is determined in advance again after the execution of a short game such as five games after the end of the ART state, or after the termination of the ART state. The control according to the indication function controlled by the indication function state control means 200B is configured to correspond to the element that does not change the content of the alert display, such as when the transition to the easy indication state is determined. It may be done.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 uses the second number counter 201b to calculate the difference between the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 and the number of medals inserted by the player in a series of ART states. At the end of a series of ART states, the display unit 330 is configured to execute alerting display when the stored value of the second sheet number counter 201b is equal to or greater than the value "300" as the second value. But it is not limited to this. In the effect control means 180, for example, with respect to the difference number of medals in a series of ART states, a value which is an expected value (expected difference number, design value) of the difference number set in design is designed to be equal to or greater than a second value. In this case, the warning display may be displayed regardless of the stored value of the second sheet number counter 201b at the end of the series of ART states. Further, when the effect control means 180 is configured to determine whether or not to display the alert display based on the number of payouts of medals in a series of ART states, the expected value of the number of payouts set in design (expected payouts When the value to be the number and the design value is designed to be equal to or greater than the second value, the alert display is displayed regardless of the stored value of the second sheet counter 201b at the end of the series of ART states. It may be done.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 controls the case where the value stored in the first number counter 201a becomes equal to or greater than the first value at the end of the bonus state, and the second number at the end of the series of ART states. In the case where the value stored in the counter 201 b becomes equal to or more than the second value, the display of the alert display on the display device 330 in the end period is determined, but the present invention is not limited thereto. . The effect control means 180 may be configured to always determine the display of the alert display on the display device 330 at the end of the special prize.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has a winning area “batning bell 1” as a winning combination (a lottery related to the instruction function) whose probability of winning changes as the instruction function state control means 200B executes the instruction function activation process. -Although it becomes a structure including the minor part of winning area "bats order bell 3", it is not limited to this. The slot machine 1 may be configured such that the small part is not included in the part (the lottery related to the instruction function) in which the probability of winning changes as the instruction function state control means 200B executes the instruction function operation process.

  When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 performs, as a plurality of gaming states, a first RT state in which the winning probability of replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5, and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 The first winning symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L1 by this and transition is possible, and continues until the first number of games is executed and the first number of games is executed while the first RT is performed. The second winning symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L1 by the second RT state in which the state is shifted to the state and the winning probability of the replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5 and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Transition becomes possible, and the game is continued until the game of the second game count, which is the game count more than the first game count, is executed and the game of the second game count is executed In this case, the first RT state is entered, and the winning probability of replay is approximately 1 / 7.3, and the third RT state set to a lower probability than the first RT state and the second RT state, and in the first RT state In the internal lottery, it is possible to win a specific winning mode in which the first winning combination in which the first winning combination is set as the winning combination and the second combination in which the second winning combination is set as the winning combination When the stop switch 240 detects the first operation mode when the specific winning mode is won, the first winning symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, When the stop switch 240 detects a second operation mode different from the first operation mode, the second winning symbol combination is realized by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Is displayed on the activated line L1 and even when the prize assistance control by the instruction function state control means 200B is executed, the prize assistance control of the first combination is executed when the specific winning mode is won. Good.

  When configured in this way, the effect control means 180 determines that a series of special awards continue if the gaming state continues to transition between the first RT state and the second RT state, and the first RT When the gaming state shifts from the state to the third RT state, it may be configured to determine that a series of special awards have ended and to execute the display of the end screen and the display of the alert display.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 having such a configuration, the first RT state and the second RT state may be advantageously configured for the player to pay out medals more than the third RT state, for example, the first RT state and the first RT state. The net increase number, which is the average value of the difference between the number of medals that can be acquired in one game in the 2RT state and the number of medals inserted, is set to a value that can slightly acquire medals with a value of about 0.2. Although the number of medals may decrease slightly as a value of “−0.2” or so, it is set to a value larger than the net increase of 3 RT state (for example, the net increase number is the value “−1.5”). The probability of winning the replay in the second RT state may be higher than the probability of winning the replay in the third RT state.

  In other words, the slot machine 1 only needs to have a second state that is more advantageous to the player than the first state as a special prize, and playing a game in the second state necessarily provides the player with a gaming value. It does not have to be configured as such. In addition to the end of the bonus state, the effect control means 180 may be configured to display a warning display on the display device 330 also at the end of the second state.

  In addition, when configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 may be configured to have a counter (winning assistance control counter) that counts the number of times the winning assistance control can be performed. The slot machine 1 configured to have the prize assistance control counter is considered to be advantageous for the player when the value stored in the prize assistance control counter is the value “0” and the number of times the prize assistance control can be performed is zero. It is configured to have a 2RT state, a 3RT state as a disadvantage state for the player, and a 1RT state as a state that is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous for the player, and the stored value of the prize assistance control counter has a value " When it is 1 or more, it may be configured to have the first RT state to the third RT state as advantageous states for the player.

  Then, in the slot machine 1 having the prize assistance control counter, the effect control means 180 determines that a series of prizes continue if the stored value of the prize assistance control counter is equal to or more than the value “1”. When the value stored in the auxiliary control counter becomes a value "0" and the gaming state transitions from the second RT state, which is an advantageous state for the player, to the first RT state that is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous for the player, that is, advantageous for the player When the state is ended, it may be configured to determine that a series of special awards have ended, and to display an end screen and a warning display.

  When configured in this way, the slot machine 1 has, for example, the fourth RT state as a gaming state to be started after the completion of the second RT state and the third RT state, and the specific small combination in the fourth RT state. When the specific symbol combination is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 by the specific small combination becoming non-winning (dropped) at the time of winning, from the 4th RT state to the 1st RT state It may be configured to migrate.

  In addition, it is preferable that the second game number in which the third RT state is continued is the number of games more than the first game number in which the second RT state is continued, but even if the second game number and the first game number are the same. Well, the number of times of the first game may be greater than the number of the second game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the gaming state is controlled to be a high RT state by the gaming state transition control means 170 as a series of special awards, and the instruction function state is controlled to be an AT state by the instruction function state control means 200B. Is configured to have a series of ART states started by being performed, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, it is started by the bonus operating and the game state transitioning to the bonus state, and after the bonus state ends It may have a series of prizes that continue by transitioning to the ART state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reel control means 130 is unable to win the special minor 1 to the special minor 3 in an incorrect answering order when winning the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 3". When the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed at the pressing timing and when the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed at the pressing timing when the winning area "drop off role" is won and the winning combination can not be won , Is configured to be dropped (non-winning) not winning any part, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the lottery flag of RBB or CBB is established, the slot machine 1 is elected to the winning area “run order bell 1” to the win area “run order bell 3” and has an incorrect answer order and special minor 1 to special minor When the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed at the timing when the winning combination 3 can not be won, or the winning area “dropping away combination” is won, the timing when the falling away role can not be won, and the lottery flag is set. Even if the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at a pressing timing at which the RBB or CBB can be won, even if the RBB or CBB in the established state is enabled to win, Good.

  When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 may have a winning area "batning bell 1" in which a drop may occur in addition to the case where it is determined to be lost (non-win) in the internal lottery in the game in the bonus establishment state. ~ The RBB or CBB whose lottery flag is set to the established state will also be able to win even when the winning area "batning bell 3" or the winning area "drop-off role" is elected, so the game from the bonus established state to the bonus state promptly It is possible to shift the state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the advantageous period control means 200A executes the advantageous period transition lottery at the time of winning of the winning area "RBB" in the game during the non advantageous period and activates the RBB when the advantageous period transition lottery is won. Are configured to start an advantageous period based on, but not limited to. If the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 191 is any value, the advantageous period control unit 200A does not change the winning probability and is in any gaming state from the non-RT state to the RT3 state. If it is a winning area which can also be won, the advantageous period transition lottery may be executed at the time of winning of any of the winning areas.

  In the case where the advantageous period transition lottery is configured to be performed based on the winning of the winning area other than the bonus, the advantageous period control means 200A determines that “the start of the advantageous period” is determined by the advantageous period transition lottery. In the advantageous period started based on the above, the supplementary assistance control of the small winning combination with the largest number of payouts when the bonus is not activated (in this embodiment, the winning area which is the winning area including the bell for which nine payouts are set) 1) ~ winning area "winning bell control at the time of winning the winning order Bell 3" at least once to execute or start an advantageous period until the game of 1500 games is executed, the advantageous period Need to be configured not to finish. Further, when configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 is in a state where the lottery flag is established before executing the one-time prize auxiliary control of the small winning combination with the largest number of payouts during the non-operation of the bonus in the advantageous period. If set, the bonus period (RBB, CBB, RB) is maintained until the winning is achieved, even if it is configured to end the advantage period without executing the prize assistance control if activated (RBB, CBB, RB) Good.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 executes an internal lottery with reference to the same internal lottery table even in different gaming states (for example, the same internal lottery table A in the non-RT state and the RT3 state).
