For example, the light emitting means such as LEDs incorporated in the stop buttons 5a to 5c light in a state where the pressing operation is possible. Therefore, when each stop button 5 is pressed in such a state, the reels 41a to 41c stop control so that the combination of symbols permitted by the operation timing and the lottery result of the internal lottery process is stopped. Be done.

In the stop state, three symbols continuous in the vertical direction represented on each of the reels 41a to 41c are stopped (sometimes referred to as stop display) so as to face the machine from the display window 6, and the stop display mode at this time Based on the determination, the presence or absence of a prize is determined.
The winning determination is made on the basis of a combination of symbols stopped on a predetermined pay line, for example, stopped on the pay line of any of five lines of upper, middle and lower three lines and two diagonal lines. When the combination of the symbols determined and determined based on the combination of symbols is a combination corresponding to a prize, a prize is established.
The number of pay lines is not limited to five, and may be an arbitrary number of lines such as one line.

In the combination of symbols to be determined, “bell bell bell” (in combination with bells) in the order of “left reel 41 a, middle reel 41 b, right reel 41 c” as a combination of symbols corresponding to “small part” "Cherry · ANY · ANY" (Cherry role, but ANY is any pattern), "watermelon · watermelon · watermelon" (watermelon role) and so on.
The cherry roles include "weak cherry" in which the "cherry" symbol stops at the upper or lower end of the left reel 41a and "strong cherry" in which the "cherry" symbol stops in the middle of the left reel 41a.
In the watermelon part, "weak watermelon" in which the "watermelon" symbol stops in the diagonal line among the pay lines, and "watermelon" symbol in the parallel lines of the upper, middle, and lower of the pay lines stop. There is "strong watermelon" to do.
In the following description, the cherry and watermelon roles are collectively referred to as "ra".

The bell combination includes "common bell" in which combinations of symbols are aligned regardless of the operation order (referred to as pressing order) for the stop buttons 5a to 5c, and "pushing order bell" in which combinations of symbols are aligned by following the pressing order.
The push order bells are provided with push order bells 1 to 6 corresponding to each of the 6 push orders, and the stop buttons 5a to 5c are operated in the operation sequence corresponding to each of the push order bells 1 to 6 By doing this, the symbol is stopped and displayed.

In addition, as a combination of symbols corresponding to the replay role ("Replay, Replay, Replay"), "Normal Replay" in which combinations of symbols are aligned regardless of push order and "Push order Replay in which combinations of symbols are aligned by following push order There is ".
"Push order Replay" is provided with push order Replays 1 to 6 corresponding to each of the six push orders, and stop buttons 5a to 5c in the operation order corresponding to each of the push order Replays 1 to 6 By operating, the symbol is stopped and displayed.
The replay role also includes "promotional replay" corresponding to a combination of symbols involved in transition from non-RT to RT, and "fall fall replay" corresponding to a combination of symbols involved in transition from RT to non-RT. The winning order is also associated with these winning combinations. For example, with regard to “promotion replay”, “promotion replay” relating to the transition from non-RT to RT by one of 6 pushing sequences. The combination of the corresponding symbols is stopped, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the “dropping replay” relating to the transition from RT to non-RT by the pushing sequence of 5 ways out of the 6 pushing sequences with regard to the “dropping replay” Stop.
In addition, the stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay role makes it possible to play a game without inserting medals in the next game, that is, without spending medals.

Then, as a result of determining the combination of the symbols stopped on the pay line, when the combination of the symbols is the combination of the symbols corresponding to each of the above, the gaming value according to the combination of the symbols is awarded.
For example, by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to a small combination such as a bell combination, a cherry combination, and a watermelon combination, a small combination prize is determined, and the medal payout device 7 is drive-controlled to store the hopper 7a storing medals. A predetermined number of medals are paid out via the medal payout opening 7b from the above.
Specifically, eight medals are paid out by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the bell combination, and five medals are paid out by stop display of the combination of symbols corresponding to the watermelon combination.
Also, in the role of cherry, two medals are paid out by stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to "weak cherry", and one medal is paid out when the combination of symbols corresponding to "strong cherry" is stopped.
In addition, the winning probability of each winning combination, in each gaming state, "Replay""Bellrole""weakwatermelon">"weakcherry">"strongwatermelon">"strongcherry" relationship, that is, "replay" Is the most likely to win, and "strong cherry" is the least likely to win.

FIG. 5 shows an operation image displayed on the display 8 prior to notification of the winning result of the lottery which is advantageous to the player, and is an example of the operation image for prompting the user to operate each operation means.

  For example, FIG. 5A shows a display (first operation display) of an operation image exemplified as a first operation image prompting an operation to the effect button 12, and in this display, effects as a first range are displayed A part display 81a which is a part of the slot machine 1 including the button 12 and represents a step, a message of "Press!", And an arrow indicating the position of the effect button 12 in the slot machine 1 are displayed.

  Moreover, FIG.5 (b) has shown the display (1st operation display or 2nd operation display) of the operation image illustrated as a 1st operation image or 2nd operation image which urges operation to the production handle 13, and this The display includes a part display 81b that is a part of the slot machine 1 including the effect handle 13 as the first range or the second range, and represents the periphery of the display window 6, the step part and the decorative panel P, and "turn!" And an arrow indicating the position of the effect handle 13 in the slot machine 1.

  Further, FIG. 5C shows a display (second operation display) of an operation image exemplified as a second operation image for prompting an operation to the large effect button 14, and as this display, a second range is displayed. A part display 81c representing the entire slot machine 1 including the large effect button 14, a message of "press!", And an arrow indicating the position of the large effect button 14 in the slot machine 1 (lower right in FIG. 5C) , And an arrow (lower left in FIG. 5C) indicating the actual position of the large effect button 14 is displayed.

  The images used for the part indications 81a to 81c may be photos (for example, the part indication 81c is a picture of the case) photographed or may be illustrations (for example, the part indication 81c may be an illustration of the case).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation display for prompting the user to operate the effect button 12, the effect handle 13, and the large effect button 14 which is the operation means precedes the notification of the winning result of the lottery which is advantageous to the player. Because it is displayed, it is possible to enhance the interest about the operation display.

Moreover, the display of the operation image for prompting the user to operate the effect button 12, the effect handle 13, and the large effect button 14 has the following differences in the display mode.
Specifically, in the part display 81, whether the entire slot machine 1 is displayed or a part thereof is displayed, or if the part is displayed, whether the range is wide or narrow, etc. The display range of the slot machine 1 displayed in the part display 81 has a difference.
For example, in the operation image including the large effect button 14 shown in FIG. 5C, since the entire slot machine 1 is represented in the part display 81c, the operation image of the operation button 12 shown in FIG. The range of the slot machine 1 displayed on the region display 81 is wider than the region display 81 b of the operation image including the region display 81 a and the effect handle 13 shown in FIG. 5 (b).
The same tendency is also shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), and the part display 81b of the operation image including the effect handle 13 shown in FIG. 5 (b) is shown in FIG. 5 (a). The range of the slot machine 1 displayed on the region display 81 is wider than that of the region display 81 a of the operation image including the effect button 12 shown. That is, the region display 81c shown in FIG. 5C is the widest, and has a relationship of 81c>81b> 81a.

Then, it is preferable to make a correlation between the width (somewhat) of such a part display 81 and the winning result of the lottery which is advantageous to the player.
For example, as the display range of the slot machine 1 displayed in the region display 81 is wider, it is preferable to set so as to increase the expectation of winning.

[Playing state]
In addition to such a configuration, the slot machine 1 has a plurality of gaming states controlled by the main control unit 10 (playing state control means).
The gaming state includes, for example, a normal gaming state and a specific gaming state, and the normal gaming state is a gaming state disadvantageous to a player who is hard to increase medals, and the specific gaming state is easy to increase medals It is a game state advantageous to the player.

[Normal game state]
The normal gaming state is a gaming state in which the user stays at the time of power-on accompanied by the operation of a predetermined initialization switch or the like, and occupies most of the gaming in the slot machine 1.
In the normal gaming state, a lottery for shifting to a specific gaming state (ART) is performed.
Specifically, the ART lottery is performed in response to the winning of the rare role ("weak cherry", "weak watermelon", "strong watermelon" and "strong cherry") in the internal lottery process, and the lottery is won If you do, transition from normal gaming state to ART.
The main control unit 10 functions as a bonus awarding unit, and awards a bonus of ART to the player based on the satisfaction of such a predetermined condition (the winning of the rare role).
The winning probability of ART has a relationship of "strong cherry">"strongwatermelon">"weakcherry">"weakwatermelon", and the winning combination that is difficult to win in the internal lottery process is the expectation of winning ART Is set to be high.
For example, when winning "strong cherry", it wins with a probability of 30%, and when winning "strong watermelon", it wins with a probability of 25% and when winning "weak cherry" When the player wins with a probability of 3% and wins "weak watermelon", the player is set to win with a probability of 2% (see FIG. 6).

[Precursor production]
In the normal gaming state, a prognostic effect is executed on the display 8 to increase the sense of expectation of transition to ART, triggered by the winning of the rare role.
The omen effect is roughly divided into the omen effect in the first half and the omen effect in the second half, and the main control unit 10 controls the sub-control unit 20 to control the number of first-half omen effects, the number of second-half omen effects, ART win information, etc. Information is transmitted and executed on the display 8 regardless of winning / non-winning of ART lottery.
Further, during the prognostic effect, sound effects corresponding to the prognostic effect are output by the speaker 9, and lighting and the like corresponding to the prognostic effect are performed by the lamp 11.

The first half precursor effect is an effect that is executed during a plurality of game periods (for example, 5 games) such as the main character appearing for a moment and disappearing immediately, and the player has a high sense of expectation for the generation of the ART precursor effect. Be
In addition, when the ART in the first half of the presentation effect is performed, the number of games having a larger number may be selected more easily than in the case of non-winning.

The second half prognostic effect is an effect that is executed following the first half prognostic effect, and reports information (specific information) indicating presence or absence of winning of ART. Specifically, an effect is continuously performed over a plurality of games (for example, 3 games), and is ended after the third reel stop operation of the third game.
Here, with the third reel, when the stop operation of the three reels 41a to 41c is performed a total of three times (the second number) once, the reel which is subjected to the final stop operation for the third time is Say.
Similarly, the first reel refers to a reel on which the stop operation is performed when the stop operation is performed one time (first number) among the three reels 41a to 41c, and the second reel includes three reels. Among the reels 41a to 41c, when the stop operation is performed twice (a first number or a second number) in total, it refers to the reel for which the second stop operation is performed.
Further, “after the third reel stop operation” means after the point at which the player releases a finger or the like from the stop button 5 which has been operated to stop the third reel.

In addition, as the second half precursor effect, multiple types of effects are provided, in the game that was elected to the role of rare, continuous effect A, continuous effect B and continuous effect C (hereinafter, together with continuous effect (specific effect) Any one is determined.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when ART has been won, continuous effect A is selected at 30% probability, continuous effect B is selected at 40% probability, and continuous effect C is selected at 30% probability. Is determined. On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the continuous effect A is selected with a probability of 50%, the continuous effect B with a probability of 40%, and the continuous effect C with a probability of 10%.

Since each continuous rendition is determined with such a probability, the expectation for winning of the ART when each continuous rendition is selected can be calculated as follows.
The winning expectation of ART when each successive effect is selected is calculated as the ratio of the selection rate at the time of winning to the total selection rate at the time of winning and non-winning, specifically, the selection rate at the time of winning 当選It is calculated by (selection rate at winning + selection rate at non-winning).
For example, when “continuous effect A” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 37.5% (30 × 100 / (30 + 50)).
Further, when “continuous effect B” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 50% (40 × 100 / (40 + 40)).
In addition, when “continuous effect C” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 75% (30 × 100 / (30 + 10)).
That is, the winning expectation of ART has a relationship of continuous effect C> continuous effect B> continuous effect A.

In addition, although the determination of the continuous production in the second half omen production is performed regardless of ART winning / non-winning, it is not limited to this, for example, when the ART is won, the continuous performance is always determined On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the continuous effect may be determined with a predetermined probability (for example, 50%).
When ART is won, or with a predetermined probability when ART is not won, the second half may be performed without performing the first half.
In addition, without making a distinction between the first-half and the second-half omen effects, continuous rendition may be performed during the omen effects as one omen effect.

In addition, the main control unit 10 first determines all the contents of the effect in the continuous effect determined as the second half omen effect in the game in which the player is elected as the rare character before the execution of the effect.
Hereinafter, the contents of the effects determined by the main control unit 10 will be described in the order of the continuous effect A, the continuous effect B, and the continuous effect C.

If the continuous effect A is determined, the type of “continuation effect” (hereinafter also referred to as “NEXT effect”) to be executed in the first game and the second game among the continuous effects A continuing for three games is determined (Notice type determination process).
The continuation effect is an effect for notifying that the continuous effect A continues the next game, and effects which are easy to be selected are different according to winning / non-winning of ART.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when ART is won, “NEXT” is selected with a 50% probability as a continuation effect, “NEXT chance” is selected with a 45% probability, and “NEXT intense” is selected. "Heat" is selected with a probability of 4%, and "NEXT confirmed" is selected with a probability of 1% and determined.
On the other hand, when ART is not won, "NEXT" is selected with a probability of 80% as a continuous effect, "NEXT chance" is selected with a probability of 19%, and "NEXT intense heat" is with a probability of 1% Selected, "NEXT confirmed" is not selected.

Since each continuous effect is determined with such a probability, the winning expectation of ART when each continuous effect is selected can be calculated by the selection rate at the winning / (selection rate at selection + selection rate at non-win) For example, when “NEXT confirmed” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 100% (= 1 × 100 / (1 + 0)).
In addition, when “NEXT super heat” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 80% (= 4 × 100 / (4 + 1)).
In addition, when “NEXT chance” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 70.3% (= 45 × 100 / (45 + 19)).
In addition, when “NEXT” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 38.4% (= 50 × 100 / (50 + 80)).
That is, the winning expectation of ART has a relationship of NEXT confirmation> NEXT intense heat> NEXT chance> NEXT.
In addition, the detail of the presentation content in continuous presentation A is mentioned later.

Further, when the continuous effect B is determined, the main control unit 10 determines the type of the continuous effect to be executed in the first game and the second game among the continuous effects B continuing for three games (determination of advance notice type processing).
As continuous effects that can be selected in the first game of continuous effect B, “NEXT”, “NEXT chance”, “NEXT intense heat”, and “NEXT confirmed” are the same as in the continuous effect A described above, but ART winning / non-deciding It is selected according to the winning (see FIG. 8).

In addition to “NEXT”, “NEXT chance”, “NEXT intense heat”, and “NEXT confirmed”, the “NEXT button” is ART winning / non-winning as continuous effects that can be selected for the second game of continuous effect B It is selected according to. That is, it differs from continuous effect A in that the "NEXT button" is selected.
The “NEXT button” is a continuous effect for giving a notice that an operation image prompting an operation to the operation means is displayed in the next game, ie, the third game of the continuous effect B.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when ART is won, “NEXT” is selected with a probability of 20% as a continuous effect, “NEXT chance” is selected with a probability of 45%, "Heat" is selected with a probability of 4%, "NEXT confirmed" is selected and determined with a probability of 1%, and "NEXT button" is selected with a probability of 30%.
On the other hand, if ART is not won, "NEXT" is selected with a 50% probability as a continuous effect, "NEXT chance" is selected with a 28% probability, and "NEXT intense heat" is with a 2% probability It is selected, "NEXT button" is selected with a probability of 20%, and "NEXT confirmed" is not selected.

Since each continuous effect is determined with such a probability, the winning expectation of ART in the case where each continuous effect is selected is calculated by the selection rate at the winning / (selection rate at selection + selection rate at non-win) For example, when “NEXT confirmed” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 100% (= 1 × 100 / (1 + 0)).
Further, when “NEXT intense heat” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 66.6% (= 4 × 100 / (4 + 2)).
In addition, when “NEXT chance” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 61.6% (= 45 × 100 / (45 + 28)).
In addition, when “NEXT” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 28.5% (= 20 × 100 / (20 + 50)).
Further, when the “NEXT button” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 60% (= 30 × 100 / (30 + 20)).
That is, the winning expectation of ART has a relationship of NEXT confirmation> NEXT intense heat> NEXT chance> NEXT button> NEXT.

Furthermore, when the “NEXT button” is selected in the second game of continuous effect B, an effect pattern of “cut-in effect” is suggested that suggests an ART winning probability that can be executed in the next game (the third game). Determine (processing for cut-in effect determination).
The cut-in effect is an effect to be executed instead of the effect executed on the display 8, and is executed when the operation means is operated, and is performed for a predetermined time (for example, about one second). Display an image.

As the effect pattern of the cut-in effect, “weak cut-in”, “medium cut-in”, and “strong cut-in” are provided, and effects that are easy to select differ depending on ART winning / non-winning.
The winning expectation of ART of each effect pattern has a relation of “weak cut-in” <“medium cut-in” <“strong cut-in”, and based on this relation, an image effect on the display 8 (for example, The size of the image is set to be different from “strong cut-in”, “medium cut-in”, “weak cut-in” in that order), the sound effect by the speaker 9, the lighting by the lamp 11, and the like.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when ART is won, "weak cut-in" is selected with a probability of 10%, "medium cut-in" is selected with a probability of 40%, and "strong cut-in" “In” is selected and determined with a probability of 50%.
On the other hand, when ART is not elected, "weak cut-in" is selected with a probability of 50%, "medium cut-in" is selected with a probability of 40%, and "strong cut-in" with a probability of 10% It is selected and decided.
The details of the effect contents in the continuous effect B will be described later.

Further, when the continuous effect C is determined, the main control unit 10 performs the processing of (1) to (3) shown below.
(1) The type of continuous effect to be executed in the first game and the second game is determined.
(2) The operation means to emit light in the first game and the second game is determined.
(3) The operation pattern (number of movements, movement position, movement speed, etc.) of the door member 15 operated in the third game is determined.

(1) Determine the type of continuous effect to be executed in the first game and the second game When the continuous effect C is determined, of the continuous effects C in which the third game continues, the first game and the second game are executed. The type of continuous effect to be determined is determined (notice type determination process).
At this time, the types of continuous effects that can be selected in the first game and the second game are different from the above continuous effects A and B.
Specifically, "NEXT button", "NEXT handle", and "NEXT large button" are selected according to winning / non-winning of ART as continuous effects that can be selected in the first game of continuous effect C. .
These continuous effects are effects for giving notice of displaying an operation image prompting the operation to the operation means in the next game, and when the “NEXT button” is selected, the effect to the effect button 12 in the next game is given. An operation image prompting the operation is displayed, and when the "NEXT handle" is selected, an operation image prompting the operation to the effect handle 13 is displayed in the next game, and the "NEXT large button" is selected. An operation image prompting the user to operate the large effect button 14 in the next game is displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when ART is won, "NEXT button" is selected with a probability of 50%, "NEXT handle" is selected with a probability of 35%, and "NEXT large button" Is selected and determined with a probability of 15%.
On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the "NEXT button" is selected with an 80% probability, the "NEXT handle" is selected with a 15% probability, and the "NEXT large button" is selected with a 5% probability. It is determined.

Since each continuous effect is determined with such a probability, the expectation for the winning of the ART when each continuous effect is selected is the expected probability of winning the ART = selected ratio at winning ÷ (selected ratio at winning + not elected) For example, when the “NEXT button” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 38.4% (= 50 × 100 / (50 + 80)).
Further, when “NEXT handle” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 70% (= 35 × 100 / (35 + 15)).
When the “NEXT large button” is selected, the winning expectation of ART is 75% (= 15 × 100 / (15 + 5)).
That is, the winning expectation of ART has a relationship of NEXT large button> NEXT handle> NEXT button.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the large effect button 14 is the widest in the operation area, and the large effect button 14> the effect handle 13> the effect button 12 has a relation, so that the operation means having the wide operation area The person who is operated is set to have a higher expectation for winning ART.

As the continuous effects selectable in the second game of the continuous effect C, “NEXT handle” and “NEXT large button” are selected in accordance with ART winning / non-winning.
When the "NEXT handle" is selected in the first game, the "NEXT handle" or the "NEXT large button" is selected in the second game.
For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when ART is won, "NEXT handle" is selected with a probability of 50%, and "NEXT large button" is selected with a probability of 50% and determined.
On the other hand, when ART is not won, "NEXT handle" is selected with a probability of 90%, and "NEXT large button" is selected with a probability of 10% and determined.
As described above, also in the second game, the winning expectation of ART when each continuous effect is selected has a relationship of NEXT large button> NEXT handle.
Also, when the "NEXT large button" is selected in the first game, the "NEXT large button" is always selected in the second game regardless of whether the ART is won or not (Fig. 13).

(2) Determine the operation means to emit light in the first game and the second game If the continuous effect C is determined, the operation means to emit light in the first game and the second game of the continuous effect C is determined.
Specifically, the operation means to emit light is determined based on the type of the continuous effect determined in the above-described advance notice type determination process.
For example, when the "NEXT button" is selected as the continuation effect, as shown in FIG. 14, the "effect button" or the "effect handle" can be selected according to ART winning / non-winning, ART When the player is elected, the "production button" is selected with a probability of 99%, and the "production handle" is selected with a probability of 1%. On the other hand, when ART is not won, the "effect button" is always selected.
Further, when “NEXT handle” is selected as the continuation effect, as shown in FIG. 15, when the ART is won, the “effect button” is selected with a probability of 1%, “effect” The handle is selected with a probability of 98%, and the "large effect button" is selected with a probability of 1%. On the other hand, when ART is not won, the "production handle" is always selected.
In addition, when the “NEXT large button” is selected as the continuation effect, as shown in FIG. 16, the “effect button” is selected with a probability of 2% when “ART” is won as shown in FIG. The handle is selected with a probability of 2%, and the "large effect button" is selected with a probability of 96%. On the other hand, when ART is not won, the "large effect button" is always selected.

As described above, the type of the continuous effect determined in the advance notice type determination process and the type of the operation means to emit light basically match, but may not match if the ART is won.
Thereby, when the operation means included in the operation image and the operation means for emitting light do not match, since ART winning is determined, the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image and the operation means, and the interest is enhanced. Can.

(3) Determine the operation pattern (number of movements, movement position, movement speed, etc.) of the door member 15 operated in the third game If the continuous effect C is determined, the operation is performed in the third game of the continuous effect C The number of movements of the door member 15 is determined.
Specifically, the number of movements of the door member 15 is determined according to the continuous effect selected in the second game, ie, the type of operation image displayed in the third game and the winning / non-winning of the ART.
For example, in the case where ART is not won, as shown in FIG. 17, when the "effect button" is selected as the continuation effect, the movement number "1" is selected with a probability of 90%, and 10% The movement number "2" is selected by the probability.
In addition, when “effect handle” is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number “1” is selected with a probability of 10%, the movement number “2” is selected with a probability of 80%, and the probability of 10% The movement number "3" is selected.
In addition, when the "large effect button" is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number "2" is selected with a probability of 70%, the movement number "3" is selected with a probability of 29%, and the probability of 1% The movement number "4" is selected by.

On the other hand, in the case of winning the ART, as shown in FIG. 18, when the "effect button" is selected as the continuation effect, the movement number "1" is selected with an 80% probability, and 19% The movement number “2” is selected with the probability of and the movement number “4” is selected with the probability of 1%.
In addition, when “effect handle” is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number “1” is selected with a probability of 10%, the movement number “2” is selected with a probability of 70%, and the probability of 18% The movement number "3" is selected, and the movement number "4" is selected with a probability of 2%.
Moreover, when the "large effect button" is selected as the continuous effect, the movement number "2" is selected with a probability of 40%, the movement number "3" is selected with a probability of 50%, and the probability of 10% The movement number "4" is selected by.
In the example shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the moving number of the door member 15 is "1" or more, and the door member 15 always moves in the third game of the continuous effect C, but Not limited thereto, the door member 15 may not move. For example, regardless of winning / non-winning of ART, “0” may be provided as the movement number.

As described above, when the operation image including the operation means having a wide operation area is displayed, the probability that the many door members 15 operate (move) is increased.
Here, “a large number” of “a large number of door members 15 move” indicates, for example, the maximum number of movable door members 15, and as shown in FIG. If it is, the maximum movable number is "2", and if the "effect handle" is selected, the maximum movable number is "3", and the "large effect button" is selected. The presence indicates that the maximum movable number is “4”, and the relation between the large effect button 14> the large effect handle 13> the effect button 12 is established.
Moreover, "a large number" may be an average value of the number of movable door members 15, and as shown in FIG. 18, when the "effect button" is selected, the average value is "1.22" ( 90 × 1 + 19 × 2 + 0 × 3 + 1 × 4) / 100), and the average value is “2.12” (10 × 1 + 70 × 2 + 18 × 3 + 2 × 4) / 100) when “effect handle” is selected It is indicated that the average value is “2.70” (0 × 1 + 40 × 2 + 50 × 3 + 10 × 4) / 100 when the “large effect button” is selected, and the large effect button 14 It has a relation of> large effect handle 13> effect button 12.
As described above, as the operation area of the operating means to be operated is wider, it is possible to perform an effect with an impact by operating (moving) the many door members 15, so the rendering effect by operating the operating means is sufficient. Can be raised.
Further, the wider the operation area of the operating means to be operated, the higher the probability of winning the ART, and therefore the greater the number of the door members 15 to be moved, the higher the expectation of winning the ART.

In addition, when the continuous effect C is determined, the movement position of the door member 15 operated in the third game of the continuous effect C is determined.
As described above, the closed position where the door member 15 moves is the third position (see FIG. 4C) where all the display area of the display 8 is hidden and the movement from the first position to the third position. A second position (see FIG. 4 (d)) or the like in which a gap is formed to such an extent that the amount is small and the display area of the display 8 is not completely hidden is provided, and the door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb are closed. Position is decided according to ART winning / non winning.
For example, when ART is not won, the “second position” is selected with a probability of 60%, and the “third position” is selected with a probability of 40%.
On the other hand, when the ART is won, the "second position" is selected with a probability of 40%, and the "third position" is selected with a probability of 60%.
That is, the winning expectation of ART has a relationship of third position> second position.
In addition, determination of the movement position of the door member 15 may determine one movement position in all the moving door members 15, and may determine the movement position in each of the moving door member 15.

In addition, when the continuous effect C is determined, the moving speed of the door member 15 operated in the third game of the continuous effect C is determined.
Specifically, the moving speeds of the four door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, and 15Rb are determined.
A plurality of moving speeds of the door member 15 are provided, for example, a first speed which is a predetermined speed and a second speed which is higher than the first speed. Determine the closed position of 15Rb according to ART winning / non-winning.
For example, when ART is not won, the “first speed” is selected with a probability of 60%, and the “second speed” is selected with a probability of 40%.
On the other hand, if the ART is won, the "first speed" is selected with a probability of 40%, and the "second speed" is selected with a probability of 60%.
That is, the winning expectation of ART has a relationship of second speed> first speed.
In addition, determination of the moving speed of the door member 15 may determine one moving speed in all the moving door members 15, and may determine moving speed in each moving door member 15.

As described above, the player can be made to recognize the degree of expectation of winning the ART based on the number of movements, the movement position, and the movement speed of the door member 15, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.
The details of the effect contents in the continuous effect C will be described later.

[Specific game state]
Next, the ART as the specific gaming state will be described.
The ART as the specific gaming state is a gaming state in which a game is advantageously executed for the player, and a predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) is set as the initial number of games at the start, When the number of games disappears, ART ends.

In addition, the ART becomes RT when the probability of winning the "replay combination" is higher than that of the normal state, and when winning in "push order bell 1 to 6" and "push order replay 1 to 6". It is a gaming state in which the AT notifying the corresponding pushing order is duplicated.
As a notification example of pushing order, for example, when the pushing order bell 1 is won among the pushing order bells 1 to 6, if the stop button 5 is operated in the order of 5a → 5b → 5c, then When the combination of symbols corresponding to pushing order bell 1 ("bell bell bell") is stopped, the combination of symbols ("bell bell bell") is controlled by the control of the main control unit 10 and the sub control unit 20. The display 8 displays numerical information indicating the order in which the stop button 5 is operated, as an image for stopping the button. Further, the voices are output from the speaker 9 in the order of “left”, “middle” and “right”.

Further, at this time, the navigation lamp 16 controlled by the sub control unit 20 is lighted in the order of “16a → 16b → 16c” according to the operation of the stop button 5.
That is, the operation on the stop button 5 is navigated through notification means such as the display 8, the speaker 9, the navigation lamp 16 and the like.
On the other hand, when the "push order bell 1 to 6" is won, if the stop button is operated without following the above navigation, the combination of the symbols corresponding to the "push order bell 1 to 6" is stopped. It will not be paid out, and eight prescribed medals will not be paid out.
Such notification of the order of push is the same as when "push order replay 1 to 6" is won during the ART.

Further, in the present embodiment, in place of or in addition to the navigation lamp 16 and the display 8, the 7-segment display portion 13a of the effect handle 13 can also perform pressing order display. For example, "123", "213" and the like are displayed to notify the pressing order of which order the left middle reels 41a to 41c should be stopped.
In the 7-segment display section 13a, an LED for displaying the pressing order is constituted by a 2-digit 7-segment display, and an identification symbol (number) corresponding to the pressing order is displayed in the first digit. Alternatively, the identification symbol (number) of the replay role may be displayed in the second digit.

Next, the addition processing performed during ART will be described.
During ART, if the player is elected as a rare character in the internal lottery process, an “additional lottery” is performed in which a predetermined number is added to the number of ART games in the game elected as the rare character.
In addition, for example, one game is performed on the display device 8 for “superimposing effect (specific effect)” for enhancing the player's expectation for the addition of the number of ART games.
The extra production is executed regardless of whether the extra lottery is won or not won, and when the extra lottery is not won (when “0 game” is selected as the number of extra games), the effect is added at the end of the extra production. On the other hand, if the winning lottery has been won (if the number of games to be added is other than “0 game” is selected), the number of games to be added at the end of the adding effect is displayed.
In addition, when it is not necessary to always perform the additional effect, and the additional lottery is not won, the additional effect may be performed with a predetermined probability (for example, 50%).
Further, the main control unit 10 manages the addition lottery in the ART, the number of added games, and the like, and based on the transmission of the control command from the main control unit 10 to the sub control unit 20, the sub control unit 20 performs the addition in ART. Display control of the effect is performed.

  In the present embodiment, although the "number of games added" is described as an example of a benefit that can extend the duration of the ART, for example, the duration is determined by the number of winnings of a predetermined winning combination (for example, bell combination). If defined, the number of winning small award winnings added to the number of remaining small winnings in ART, or if the duration is defined by the number of medals earned (the number of payouts or the number of differences), the remaining winnings in ART are earned The number of medals may be added to the number of medals, or the like.

In the addition processing, the main control unit 10 is configured to execute the “addition effect determination processing” shown in FIG.
In this process, first, the main control unit 10 determines an additional benefit (number of added games) that can extend the duration of the ART based on the winning combination of rares (selected winning combination). To execute (S1).

In the additional game number lottery, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, when “Weak Cherry” is won, “0 game” is selected with a probability of 60%, and “10 games” is selected with a probability of 35%. “30 games” is selected with a probability of 3%, “50 games” is selected with a probability of 1%, and “100 games” is selected with a probability of 1%.
In addition, when “strong cherry” is won, “10 games” is selected with a probability of 50%, “30 games” is selected with a probability of 40%, and “50 games” is selected with a probability of 5% "100 games" is selected with a probability of 5%.
Also, in the case of winning "weak watermelon", "0 game" is selected with a probability of 90%, "30 games" is selected with a probability of 8%, and "50 games" is selected with a probability of 1% "100 games" is selected with a probability of 1%.
When "strong watermelon" is won, "0 game" is selected with a probability of 80%, "50 games" is selected with a probability of 10%, and "100 games" is selected with a probability of 10%. Be done.
The main control unit 10 functions as a bonus awarding means, and awards a bonus of the number of games to be added (additional win) to the player based on the establishment of such a predetermined condition (the winning of the rare role). Then, the granted number of added games is added to the number of ART games (added), and the duration of the ART is extended.
In addition, based on the determined number of added games, an effect (expected degree effect display) for suggesting the expected degree of addition to the player and an effect (indicating an added result result) for notifying the number of added games are executed. .
In addition, when "0 game" is selected, it has shown that it is not winning in the addition lottery.

Next, the main control unit 10 determines the disappearance timing of the operation image displayed in the additive effect (operation image disappearance timing determination process) (S2).
In the additional effect, at the start of the game in which the player has won the rare role, an operation image for prompting the user to operate the operation means is displayed on the display 8 (see FIG. 27 and the like).
The operation image is displayed at the start of the game and then displayed for a predetermined period, and disappears when the operation means included in the operation image is operated within this period.
In addition, even when the "stop operation of the stop button 5" or the "next game start operation" is performed without operating the operation means included in the operation image, the operation image disappears. "At the time of next game start operation" indicates that the bet button 2a related to the start of the next game is operated.
That is, when the operation means included in the operation image is operated while the operation image is displayed, the operation image displayed in the superimposing effect disappears immediately, while the operation means included in the operation image is operated. Even if not, it is displayed until "stop operation of the stop button 5" or "next game start operation" is performed, and disappears when these operations are performed.

Therefore, in S2 of the process, while the operation image displayed in the additional effect is being displayed, the “stop operation of the stop button 5” or the operation of the operation button (for example, the effect button 12) included in the operation image The timing of disappearance of the operation image when the “next game start operation” is performed is determined.
Specifically, the disappearance timing of the operation image is determined based on the number of added games determined in the “number-of-addition-games lottery (S1)”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 21, when the number of games to be added is “0 game”, “at the time of first reel stop operation” is selected as the disappearance timing with 90% probability, and “second number with 10% probability”. "At reel operation" is selected, and "at third reel stop operation" and "at next game start operation" are not selected.
When the number of games to be added is "10 games", "at first reel stop operation" is selected with a probability of 70%, "at second reel stop operation" is selected with a probability of 30%, and " The third reel stop operation and the next game start operation are not selected.
When the number of games to be added is "30 games", "at first reel stop operation" is selected with a probability of 30%, "at second reel stop operation" is selected with a probability of 65%, and 5 "At the third reel stop operation" is selected with a probability of%, and "at the next game start operation" is not selected.
When the number of games to be added is “50 games”, “at first reel stop operation” is selected with a probability of 5%, “at second reel stop operation” is selected with a probability of 20%, and 65 “At the third reel stop operation” is selected with a probability of%, and “at the time of next game start operation” is selected with a probability of 10%.
When the number of games to be added is "100 games", "at the third reel stop operation" is selected with a probability of 50%, and "at the time of next game start operation" is selected with a probability of 50%. (1) Reel stop operation "and" Second reel stop operation "are not selected.
As described above, as the number of added games determined in the additional game number lottery is larger, the probability that the operation image disappears after the game start is higher.
That is, the degree of expectation of the addition has a relationship of “when next game start operation”> “when third reel stop operation”> “when second reel stop operation”> “at first reel stop operation”, As the number of times the reel stop operation is performed is increased, the degree of expectation of the addition increases.

Next, the main control unit 10, while displaying the operation image, is expected to be added when the stop button 5 or the bet button 2a is operated at the disappearance timing determined in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process (S2)”. The effect pattern (benefit grant information) of the effect (expected degree effect) indicating the effect is determined (non-operation expected degree effect determination process) (S3).
As a production pattern of expectation degree production, "weak production", "middle production", "strong production", and "strongest production" are provided, and the degree of expectation of addition of each production pattern is "strongest production">"strong It has a relation of "representation">"middlepresentation">"weakpresentation". In addition, according to this relationship, an effect that can recognize the height of the degree of expectation is performed by the image effect in the display 8, the sound effect by the speaker 9, the lighting by the lamp 11, and the like.

Specifically, the effect pattern is determined based on the number of added games determined in the “number-of-addition-games lottery (S1)”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 22, when the number of added games is "0 game", "weak presentation" is selected with a probability of 90%, "middle presentation" is selected with a probability of 10%, and "strong""Direction" and "strongest effect" are not selected.
Also, if the number of games to be added is "10 games", "weak presentation" is selected with a probability of 70%, "middle presentation" is selected with a probability of 30%, and "strong presentation" and "strongest presentation" Is not selected.
Further, when the number of games to be added is "30 games", "weak presentation" is selected with a probability of 30%, "middle presentation" is selected with a probability of 65%, and "strong presentation" with a probability of 5%. Is selected and "strongest rendition" is not selected.
Further, when the number of games to be added is "50 games", "weak presentation" is selected with a probability of 5%, "at the time of second reel stop operation" is selected with a probability of 20%, and with a probability of 75%. “At the time of the third reel stop operation” is selected, and the “strongest effect” is not selected.
In addition, when the number of games to be added is "100 games", "strong presentation" is always selected with a probability of 100%, and "weak presentation", "middle presentation" and "strongest presentation" are not selected.
As described above, as the number of added games determined in the added game number lottery is larger, the probability that a rendering pattern having a high degree of expectation of the addition is selected is higher.

Next, the main control unit 10 produces an effect (expected degree effect) indicating the expected degree of addition when operating the operation means (for example, the effect button 12) included in the operation image while the operation image is displayed. A pattern (benefit grant information) is determined (operational expectation degree effect determination process) (S4).
Specifically, the effect pattern is determined based on the disappearance timing determined in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process (S2)”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 23, when the disappearance timing is "at the time of the first reel stop operation", "weak presentation" is selected with a probability of 70%, and "middle presentation" is selected with a probability of 30%. , "Strong production" and "strongest production" are not selected.
In addition, when the disappearance timing is “at the time of the second reel stop operation”, “weak presentation” is selected with a probability of 40%, “middle presentation” is selected with a probability of 50%, and “with a probability of 10%” The "strong presentation" is selected, and the "strongest presentation" is not selected.
In addition, when the disappearance timing is “at the time of the third reel stop operation”, “weak presentation” is selected with a probability of 10%, “middle presentation” is selected with a probability of 30%, and “60% probability” The "strong presentation" is selected, and the "strongest presentation" is not selected.
Also, if the disappearance timing is "at the time of the next game start operation", "strong presentation" is selected with a probability of 70%, "strongest presentation" is selected with a probability of 30%, and "weak presentation" and "medium""Direction" is not selected.
As described above, even when the operation means (for example, the effect button 12) is operated according to the display of the operation image, the game is progressed as the disappearance timing advances from the game start, that is, the larger the number of determined additional games, the more The probability of selecting a rendering pattern with a high degree of expectation is high.

In the case of "operating the operation means while displaying the operation image", the above-mentioned "when the stop operation of the stop button 5 or the next game start operation is performed without operating the operation means while displaying the operation image" There is also a credible suggestion in the production of expectations.
For example, as shown in FIG. 22, in the case where “a stop operation of the stop button 5 or a next game start operation is performed without operating the operation means while displaying the operation image”, “strongest effect” In contrast to the case where "the operation means is operated while displaying the operation image", "strongest effect" may be selected as the expectation degree effect as shown in FIG.
That is, in "when the operation means is operated according to the display of the operation image", the "strongest effect" selected is executed only when "50 G" or "100 G" is determined as the number of additional games. As the expectation of the additional, more reliable suggestions will be presented.
The contents of the effect of the additional effect will be described later.

So far, the configuration of the slot machine 1, the gaming state and the like have been described, but the features of the slot machine in the present embodiment to be described next will be described in order below.
(1) Continuous production at the time of ART transition
(2) Additional production during ART

(1) Continuous production at the time of ART transition
Next, with reference to FIG. 24-FIG. 26, the content of the effects of the continuous effect will be described.
The continuous effect is executed by the display 8 under the control of the main control unit 10 and the sub control unit 20, and is an effect for enhancing the player's sense of expectation for transition from the normal gaming state to the ART, for example, three games For the duration, the effect is continuously performed, and the winning result (specific information) of ART is notified.
Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the effects of the respective continuous effects are all determined when the player is elected, and the effects are executed after the contents of the effects are determined.
Hereinafter, the continuous effect A, the continuous effect B, and the continuous effect C will be described in order.

[Continuous production A]
FIG. 24 shows the flow of the effects of the continuous effect A performed by the display 8.
In the continuous effect A, an effect simulating a roulette game is performed, and a moving object image I moves on the roulette once in one game and a game is stopped at a predetermined position. In accordance with the "hit" or "loss", the winning result of the ART lottery is notified.
Specifically, in the first game, the moving object image I starts rotational movement on the roulette based on the operation of the start lever 3 ((A) in FIG. 24), and based on the third reel stop operation. Stop.
Then, after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed since the third reel stop operation, the continuous effect (NEXT effect) is executed ((B) in FIG. 24).
In the continuation effect executed here, the type of the continuation effect pertaining to the first game determined in the "preliminary type determination processing" in the continuous effect A described above is executed, and in the example shown in FIG. It shows the case where "NEXT chance" is selected.
In this manner, the player's attention can be drawn by executing the continuation effect several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) after the moving object image I is stopped after the third reel stop operation.

In the second game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect ("NEXT chance") executed in the first game is performed.
For example, as shown in (C) in FIG. 24, two moving body images I start rotational movement on the roulette in a state where the number of moving body images I increases to two. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 24, in the second game, the degree of expectation (the expected degree of winning of the ART) that the moving object image I stops at “hit” is higher than in the first game.
Then, the two moving object images I are stopped based on the third reel stop operation, and further continuous effects are executed after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation (see FIG. D)).
In the continuation effect executed here, the type of the continuation effect relating to the second game decided in the "notice type determination processing" in the continuous effect A described above is executed, and in the example shown in FIG. It shows the case where it is selected.

In the third game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect ("NEXT intense heat") performed in the second game is performed.
For example, as shown in (E) in FIG. 24, the moving object image I starts rotational movement on the roulette in a state where the number of stop positions of “hit” has increased to three. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 24, in the third game, compared with the first game, the degree of expectation (the expectation of winning the ART) that the moving object image I stops at “hit” is high.
Then, the moving body image I is stopped based on the third reel stop operation, and after several seconds (for example, 4 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, the winning result of the ART lottery is notified.
Thus, unlike the first game and the second game, the third game sets the predetermined time from the third reel stop operation to an even longer time (4 seconds), and notifies of the winning result of the ART lottery. To attract the attention of the player. The same applies to continuous effect B and continuous effect C described later.
At this time, if the ART has been won, the mobile object image I is stopped at "hit", and it is notified that the ART is won ((F) in FIG. 24). On the other hand, when the ART is not won, the mobile body image I is stopped at "losing", and the ART is notified that the non-winning is made ((G) in FIG. 24).
In the example shown in FIG. 24, although the case where "NEXT chance" and "NEXT intense heat" are selected as a kind of continuation production was illustrated, "NEXT" is selected as other continuation presentation. If, for example, the roulette game is executed with one mobile object image I and one stop position, and “NEXT confirmed” is selected, for example, one mobile object image I and four are determined. The roulette game is executed with the stop position of one hit.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the continuous effect (NEXT effect) merely indicating continuation of the effect in the normal gaming machine is displayed differently depending on the winning expectation of the ART. , Can improve the interest of the game.
Note that the moving object image I may be stopped at "hit" in the first game or the second game, not limited to the above-described effect contents. In this case, for example, an effect of congratulating the winning may be performed without executing the roulette game of the remaining game of the continuous effect, or the effect of stopping at the “hit” also in the roulette game in the remaining games You may go.
Also, the number of moving object images I and the number of stop positions per hit may not change (the effect screen does not change) according to the type of the continuous effect.

[Continuous production B]
FIG. 25 shows the flow of the effects of the continuous effect B performed by the display 8.
The continuous effect B performs a battle effect in which an ally character and an enemy character battle with each other, and notifies an ART lottery winning result according to the outcome of the ally character.
Specifically, in the first game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, a screen for displaying an enemy character fighting against the teammate character is displayed, and a battle between the teammate character and the enemy character is started (FIG. 25). Inside (A)).
Then, based on the third reel stop operation, the battle is temporarily ended, and a display in which the teammate character and the enemy character face each other is displayed, and after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, continuous effect ( NEXT effect) is executed ((B) in FIG. 25).
In the continuation effect executed here, the type of the continuation effect relating to the first game determined in the "notice type determination processing" in the continuous effect B described above is executed, and in the example shown in FIG. 25, the "NEXT chance" is selected. It shows that it is done.

In the second game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect ("NEXT chance") executed in the first game is performed.
For example, as shown in (C) in FIG. 25, a battle is performed in which the ally character performs a “strong attack (special attack etc.)” on the enemy character. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 25, the degree of expectation (the expectation of winning the ART) that the allied character “wins” in the battle is higher than that in the first game.
Then, based on the third reel stop operation, the battle is temporarily ended, and a display is displayed in which the teammate character and the enemy character face each other, and after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have passed since the third reel stop operation It is executed ((D) in FIG. 25).
In the continuation effect executed here, the type of the continuation effect relating to the second game decided in the “preliminary type determination processing” in the continuous effect B described above is executed, and in the example shown in FIG. It shows that it is done.

In the third game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuation effect (“NEXT button”) executed in the second game is performed.
For example, as shown in (E) in FIG. 25, an operation image prompting an operation to the effect button 12 is displayed. At this time, while the effect button 12 emits light and the operation image is displayed, the emission of light continues to notify that the operation is effective.

When the effect button 12 is operated by the player while the operation image is displayed, the cut-in effect display is executed ((F) in FIG. 25). As described above, when the “NEXT button” is selected for the continuation effect of the second game, the cut-in effect display may be executed in the next game (third game).
The effect pattern ("weak cut-in", "medium cut-in", "strong cut-in") determined in the above-described "process for determining cut-in effect" is displayed as the effect pattern of the cut-in effect executed here. Ru.
When the operation means (for example, the effect handle 13 or the large effect button 14) not included in the operation image is operated, the cut-in effect display may not be performed, or a fixed effect pattern (for example, , "Weak cut-in" may be displayed forcibly and cut-in effect display may be performed, and only when the operation means (effect button 12) included in the operation image is operated, it may accurately indicate the expectation of winning. You may
In addition, when a game other than the “NEXT button” is selected for the continuation effect of the second game, a battle between the ally character and the enemy character is performed during the period from the operation of the start lever 3 to the third reel stop operation. .

Then, the stop button 5 is operated, and after several seconds (for example, 4 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, the winning result of the ART lottery is notified.
If the ART has been won, it is notified that the ART, such as an image where the teammate character wins, is won ((G) in FIG. 25). On the other hand, if the ART is not won, it is notified that the ART such as an image in which the ally character is defeated is not elected ((H) in FIG. 25).

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the continuous game effect (NEXT effect) merely indicating the continuation of the effect in the normal gaming machine is displayed, and the operation display for urging the operation to the operation means in the next game is displayed. By using it as an effect to indicate being played, it is possible to make the player recognize the winning expectation of ART and to improve the interest of the game.

[Continuous production C]
FIG. 26 shows the flow of the effects of the continuous effect C performed by the display 8.
The continuous effect C performs an effect simulating a picture matching game, and is a face part image displayed on the variable display unit (upper display unit, middle display unit, lower display unit) divided into three once in one game. Is played or a game in which three face parts images are vertically aligned, whether or not the face image of the character is completed (the same as the face image on the upper right in (A) in FIG. 26). In accordance with whether or not the image is displayed), the winning result of the ART lottery is notified.
Specifically, in the first game, the three face parts images of the variable display unit start to change based on the operation of the start lever 3 ((A) in FIG. 26).
In addition, the operation means corresponding to the type of the continuous effect determined to be executed in the first game based on the operation of the start lever 3 of the first game emits light for a predetermined time (for example, about one second) It is supposed to
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 26, the player is notified that the effect handle 13 corresponding to the “NEXT handle” determined as the continued effect of the first game is lighted for a moment, and the effect of operating the effect button 12 is performed. Inform visually (previous notice).
Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that effects will be performed using the lighted operation means in the subsequent games, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

Next, during the fluctuation of the fluctuation display unit, the face part images of the upper display unit, the middle display unit and the lower display unit are sequentially stopped based on the first reel to the third reel stop operation. Then, after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed since the third reel stop operation, the continuous effect (NEXT effect) is executed ((B) in FIG. 26).
In the continuation effect executed here, the type of the continuation effect relating to the first game determined in the “notice type determination processing” in the continuous effect C described above is executed, and in the example shown in FIG. 26, the “NEXT handle” is selected. It shows that it is done.

In the second game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect ("NEXT handle") executed in the first game is performed.
For example, as shown in (C) in FIG. 26, an operation image prompting the user to operate the effect handle 13 is displayed.
Further, based on the operation of the start lever 3, the operation means corresponding to the type of the continuous effect determined to be executed in the second game emits light for a predetermined time (for example, about one second).
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 26, the large effect button 14 corresponding to the "NEXT large button" determined as the continuous effect of the second game is emitted for a moment.
Then, when the light emission of the large effect button 14 is finished, the effect handle 13 emits light to notify that the operation is effective.
As described above, since the operation means emitting light corresponding to the contents of the effect is switched, the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image and the operation means, and the interest can be enhanced.

Next, when the effect handle 13 is operated by the player while the operation image is displayed, an effect (for example, fluctuation of the three fluctuation display units is reversely rotated) with high expectation (for example, expectation for winning in ART). ) Is executed ((D) in FIG. 26).
When the effect handle 13 is operated, the operation image disappears (is not displayed) and the effect handle 13 is turned off.
Then, during the fluctuation of the fluctuation display unit, the three face parts images of the fluctuation display unit are stopped based on the third reel stop operation, and after several seconds (for example, 2 seconds) have elapsed from the third reel stop operation, the continuous effect is provided. Is executed ((E) in FIG. 26).
In the continuation effect executed here, the type of the continuation effect relating to the second game decided in the "notice type determination processing" in the continuous effect C described above is executed, and in the example shown in FIG. 26, the "NEXT large button" is It indicates that it is selected.
In addition, in the second game, if several seconds (for example, 5 seconds) elapse without the third reel stop operation being performed by the player after the display of the operation image, the continuous effect is performed It has become.

In the third game, based on the operation of the start lever 3, an effect corresponding to the continuous effect ("NEXT large button") executed in the second game is performed.
For example, as shown in (F) in FIG. 26, an operation image prompting the user to operate the large effect button 14 is displayed.
When the large effect button 14 is operated by the player while this operation image is displayed, the movement effect by the door members 15 (15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb) is executed ((G) in FIG. 26). ).
As described above, in the operation pattern (number of movements, movement position, movement speed, etc.) of the movement effect executed here, the door member 15 is moved based on the operation pattern determined at the time of winning the rare combination.

For example, in the example illustrated in (G) in FIG. 26, the four door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, and 15Rb are shown moved from the open position (first position) to the closed position (third position). , The degree of expectation (the winning expectation of ART) is high.
That is, in the movement effect of the door member 15, as the number of movement of the door member 15 increases, the more the door member 15 stops at the center position of the display 8, the faster the door member 15 moves, the ART is expected to win. It indicates a high degree of condition.
As described above, since the relationship between the operation image for prompting the operation to the operation means and the operation pattern of the door member 15 is provided, the operation number of the door member 15 or the like is predicted by the operation image before operating the operation means. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.
In addition, by giving such a relationship, the player pays attention to the operation means and the door member 15 displayed in the operation image prior to the notification of the winning result, so that the interest can be enhanced.

  In addition, while displaying the operation image prompting the operation to the operation means (for example, the large effect button 14), the operation means (for example, the effect button 12 or the effect handle 13) different from the displayed operation means is operated In this case, the movement effect of the door member 15 may not be performed, or the movement effect of the door member 15 may be forcibly performed in a fixed operation pattern (for example, the door member 15 is moved by only one). The expectation of winning may be accurately indicated only when the operation means (effect button 12) included in the operation image is operated.

Next, when the stop button 5 is operated and several seconds (for example, 4 seconds) elapse from the third reel stop operation, the door members 15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb move to the open position (first position), and the ART lottery Report the winning result.
When ART has been won, the face of the character is displayed by the three face parts images of the variable display unit, and it is notified that the ART is won (“I did it!”) (See FIG. (H) in 26). On the other hand, when the ART is not elected, the three face parts images are displayed in a state where the character's face is not completed, and the ART is notified that the ART is not elected ("Sorry, · · etc.") (I) in FIG.
When the ART is won, the notification of the ART winning result is not limited to the third game, and the first game or the second game may indicate that the ART is won. In this case, for example, when a lottery having a probability of 1% is won, notification may be performed by performing a cut-in effect display or the like.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the operation area having a large reception area (operation area) by the player is operated or the reception area (operation area) of the operation by the player is When the operation image including the wide operation means is displayed, the probability that the many door members 15 move is high.
Thereby, it is set that the expectation of winning the ART is higher when the operation means having a wider operation area is operated or when the operation image including the operation means having a wide operation area is displayed. Thus, as the number of door members 15 moving increases, the possibility of winning the ART increases.
A correlation between the size of the operation area of such operation means and the success or failure in the lottery process (ART lottery) that can be advantageous to the player allows the player to easily recognize the high and low expectations of the player While making it possible to make the player pay attention to the operation image and the operation means, the interest can be enhanced.

(2) Overdraft Effect Next, the content of the overdraft effect will be described with reference to FIG. 27 to FIG.
The additional effect is executed by the display 8 under the control of the main control unit 10 and the sub control unit 20, and is an effect for enhancing the player's expectation for the addition (addition) of the number of ART games, The game is executed during the game in which the player has won the rare role, and displays an expectation degree effect of whether or not to add the number of games, and displays the number of games to be added.
Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the effect of the additional effect are all determined when the player is elected, and the effect is executed after the effect is determined.

Specifically, when the player wins the rare role in the internal lottery process in the ART, the additional effect starts and an operation image prompting the user to operate the operation means (for example, the effect button 12) is displayed on the display 8 ( (A) in FIG. 27 etc., T1 in FIG. 28 etc.
While the operation image is displayed, the operation of the operation means (for example, the effect button 12), the operation of the stop operation means (for example, the stop button 5), and the next game start operation (for example, the bet button 2a) Then, an additional effect is performed in which the flow of effects as shown below is different.

First, with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28, the contents of effect “when the effect button is operated while displaying the operation image” will be described.
If the player operates the effect button 12 according to the display during the display of the operation image ((A) in FIG. 27), the display of the operation image disappears (non-display) immediately (FIG. 27). (B), T2 in FIG. 28, and then, an expectation degree effect indication is executed ((C) in FIG. 27).
The expected degree effect display performed here is performed by the effect pattern (“weak effect”, “medium effect”, “strong effect”, “strongest effect”) determined in the above-described “operational expected degree effect determining process” described above Be done.

Next, the addition result display is executed on the display 8 based on the third reel stop operation by the player ((D) in FIG. 27, T5 in FIG. 28).
The additional result display executed here indicates the number of additional games determined in the above-mentioned "additional game number lottery". For example, when the lottery is won, the number of additional games ("+ 100G", etc.) Is displayed on the display 8 and the 7-segment display unit 13a. On the other hand, when the lottery has not been won, the number of added games is not displayed, and for example, character information (such as "sorry") indicating that the player has not won the additional is displayed or a effect image.
When the bet button 2a is operated as an operation related to the start of the next game, the additional effect is ended (T6 in FIG. 28).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 29 and 31, the contents of the effect of “when the reel stop operation with the disappearance timing is performed while displaying the operation image” will be described.
In the case where the player has performed the reel stop operation determined as the disappearance timing without operating the effect button 12 without displaying the operation image while displaying the operation image ((A) in FIG. 29). The display of the operation image disappears according to the operation ((B) in FIG. 29).
Specifically, when the disappearance timing is “first reel stop operation” (T3 in FIG. 31), when the disappearance timing is “second reel stop operation” (T4 in FIG. 31), the disappearance timing is “first In the case of “3 Reel stop operation” (T5 in FIG. 31), the display of the operation image disappears.
The timing at which the display of the operation image disappears is based on the “disappearance timing” determined in the “operation image disappearance timing determination process” described above, and subsequently, after the display of the operation image disappears, the expectation degree effect display is It is executed ((C) in FIG. 29).

The expected degree effect display performed here is the effect pattern (“weak effect”, “medium effect”, “strong effect”, “strongest effect”) determined in the “non-operation expected degree effect determination process” described above. Is displayed.
Next, the addition result display is executed on the display 8 and the 7-segment display unit 13a based on the third reel stop operation by the player ((D) in FIG. 29, T5 in FIG. 31). When the bet button 2a is operated as the operation related to the start, the additional effect is ended (T6 in FIG. 31).
In the flow of effect shown in FIG. 29, it is possible not to execute the expectation effect effect display after the operation image disappears based on the reel stop operation determined as the disappearance timing while the operation image is displayed. .
As described above, when the stop button 5 is operated for stopping the display of the operation image without following the display of the operation image, the number of times the reel stop operation is performed (the first reel stop operation to the third reel). Depending on the stop operation, the display of the operation image may disappear.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31, the contents of the effect of “when the next game start operation with the disappearance timing is performed while displaying the operation image” will be described.
When the player performs the reel stop operation (third reel stop operation) without following the display during the display of the operation image ((A) in FIG. 30), the operation image is, for example, a screen While being displayed in a reduced size, the addition result display is executed on the screen ((B) in FIG. 30).
Furthermore, when the start operation (the operation of the bet button 2a) of the next game determined as the disappearance timing in the above-described "operation image disappearance timing determination process" is performed without operating the production button 12, the operation Accordingly, the display of the operation image disappears ((C) in FIG. 30, (T6 in FIG. 31), and then, the expectation degree effect display is executed ((D) in FIG. 30).
As described above, when the stop operation (the third reel stop operation) of the stop button 5 and the next game start operation are performed without displaying the operation image while the operation image is displayed, the next game start operation is performed. The display of the operation image may disappear depending on the situation.

In the flow of the effect shown in FIG. 30, after the addition result is displayed based on the third reel stop operation by the player during the display of the operation image, the operation of the bet button 2a serving as the start operation of the next game is performed. It is a flow of the effect that the expectation degree effect display is based on, but the present invention is not limited to this, and when “at next game start operation” is selected as the disappearance timing in “operation image disappearance timing determination processing”, The expectation degree effect display after the next game start operation may not be executed.
Alternatively, the expectation degree effect display may be performed based on the third reel stop operation, and the additional result display may be performed based on the next game start operation.

As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, while the operation image displayed in the additive effect is being displayed, the “stop operation of the stop button 5” or When the next game start operation is performed, the display of the operation image disappears based on the determined disappearance timing (during the first reel stop operation to the third reel stop operation, the next game start operation). It has become.
In addition, since the probability that the disappearance timing will be later from the game start is set higher as the number of added games is larger, as shown in (a) to (d) in FIG. However, as the game progresses from the start of the game, the degree of expectation of the addition increases.
There is a correlation between the timing at which such display of the operation image disappears and the degree of expectation of the lottery process (lottery game number drawing) that can be advantageous to the player, so that the degree of expectation of the player is high As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image, and the interest can be enhanced.

[Modification]
Next, a modification of the present invention will be described.
[Modification of continuous production]
First, a variation of the continuous effect will be described.
In the continuous effects in the above-described embodiment, when the rare character is selected, the continuous effects are performed after all the effect contents for three games for which the continuous effects are performed are determined in advance, but the present invention is not limited thereto. When the start lever 3 is operated in each game for executing effects, the effect contents may be determined over three games by determining the effect contents of the game.
Also, although the continuous effects have been described as a omen effect regarding the transition to ART, the present invention is not limited to this, but as a omen effect of an addition lottery in ART relating to the provision of a benefit advantageous to a player It is also good. In the case of the preliminary effect of the additional lottery, instead of the notification indicating the winning in the final game of the continuous effect, notification of the number of games to be added ("+ 100G, etc.") is performed.

  Also, if the player is elected as a rare character during the execution of the continuous rendition (second-half prognostic rendition), processing for determining the contents of the ART lottery and the rendition like in the non-execution of the continuous rendition (second-half predense production) And may store the result of the process (right to win), and after the continuous effect in execution is over, the continuous effect based on the stored content may be performed, or in the ART lottery The continuous effect may be performed only when the player is won.

  In addition, when notifying the ART lottery winning result in the final game of the serial effect, after displaying an image notifying that ART is not elected, the ART is selected to be elected at the start operation of the next game. A resurrection effect may be performed to switch to an image to be notified. In addition, such a revival effect may be made to increase the occurrence rate when the effect (continuous effect, cut-in effect) having a relatively high degree of expectation is selected. In this way, it is possible to perform a more entertaining and highly expecting presentation.

  Further, in the continuous effect A, as in the continuous effect C, the "NEXT button", the "NEXT handle" and the "NEXT large button" can be selected as the type of the continuous effect (NEXT effect), and the corresponding operation means (effect You may display the operation image which urges operation to the button 12, the effect handle 13, and the large effect button 14). Further, when the player operates the corresponding operation means, the door member 15 may move. In this case, the maximum number of movements of the door member 15 can be varied by making the maximum number of movable the door members 15 different from the continuous effect B and the continuous effect C (for example, “two” for the continuous effect A). It is possible to distinguishably notify the expectation of winning of ART of continuous effect.

  Further, in the continuous effect B, as in the continuous effect C, the "NEXT handle" and the "NEXT large button" can be selected as the type of the continuous effect (NEXT effect), and the corresponding operation means (effect handle 13, large effect You may display the operation image which urges operation to button 14). In addition, when the player operates the corresponding operation means, the door member 15 may move. In this case, the maximum number of movements of the door member 15 can be varied by making the maximum number of movable the door members 15 different from the continuous effect A and the continuous effect C (for example, “3” for the continuous effect B). It is possible to distinguishably notify the expectation of winning of ART of continuous effect.

[About Continuous Production C]
Further, in the continuous effect C, the movement position and the movement speed, which are operation patterns of the door member 15, may be determined based on the type of the operation image displayed in the third game. For example, the probability that the third position is determined as the closed position may be higher if the operation image including the operation means having a wider operation area is selected, and the probability that the second speed is determined as the movement speed May be raised. As described above, as the operation area of the operating means to be operated is wider, the door member 15 can be operated at high speed or with a large moving amount so that it is possible to produce an impact with an impact. The presentation effect can be sufficiently enhanced.
Moreover, although the case was described in the case where a plurality of moving positions and moving speeds are provided in the continuous effect C in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. By providing only a plurality of movement numbers, it may be possible to suggest the expectation of winning an ART with only the number of movement of the door member 15.

Further, in the continuous effect C, the moving number of the door member 15 may be fixed for each operation means.
For example, as shown in FIG. 34, when ART is won, the number of operations "1" is always determined in the case of the effect button, and in the case of the effect handle, the number of operations "3" is always determined. In the case of the large effect button, "4" is always determined. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 33, in the case of non-winning ART, the operation number "1" is always determined in the case of the effect button, In the case of the effect steering wheel, the operation number "2" or "3" may be determined without fail.
As described above, the number of movements of the door member 15 may be forcibly determined, and the numbers of movements of the door member 15 may not be overlapped between the operation means.

Further, in the continuous effect C, the degree of expectation may be made different depending on the moving door member 15 (15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb). For example, the winning expectation of ART may be set based on the relationship of 15La <15Lb <15Ra <15Rb.
In addition, the operation image may be displayed from the first game, or the operation image may not be displayed in the second game, and even if the cut-in effect display is performed as in the continuous effect B in the second game, Good.
Further, in the third game, as in the first game and the second game, while the operation image is being displayed, the corresponding operation means (in the example of FIG. 26, the large effect button 14) is made to emit light, and the operation is effective. It may be informed that there is.

[Modified example of additional production]
Next, a variation of the additional effect will be described.
In the above embodiment, the effect button 12 is described as an example of the operation means. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect handle 13 or the large effect button 14 may be used.
In this case, any of these operation means may be selectable, and an operation image including the selected operation means may be displayed at the start of the additional effect.
Further, the selection of the operation means may be determined based on the disappearance timing. For example, as shown in FIG. 32, when the disappearance timing is "at the time of the first reel stop operation", the "effect button" is selected with a probability of 70%, and the "effect handle" is selected with a probability of 30%. Ru.
Also, if the disappearance timing is "at the time of second reel stop operation", the "effect button" is selected with a probability of 40%, the "effect handle" is selected with a probability of 50%, and "with a probability of 10%. "Large production button" is selected.
Further, when the disappearance timing is "at the time of the third reel stop operation", the "effect button" is selected with a probability of 20%, the "effect handle" is selected with a probability of 30%, and "50% probability The large effect button is selected.
Further, when the disappearance timing is "at the time of the next game start operation", the "effect handle" is selected with a probability of 30%, and the "large effect button" is selected with a probability of 70%.
As described above, since the probability that the operation means having a wider operation area is selected increases as the disappearance timing is later from the game start, the disappearance timing has a higher expectation of addition as the game progresses from the game start, It can be suggested that the expectation of the addition is higher when the operation means having a wider operation area is selected.
Not limited to this, the selection of the operation means may be determined based on the “number of added games”.

  Further, also in the additional effect, the door member 15 may be operated (moved) as in the continuous effect. For example, the door member 15 may be operated prior to notification of the expectation degree effect display and the additional result display. In this case, the operation pattern such as the movement number of the door member 15 is made different to suggest the degree of expectation of the additional Can enhance interest.

In addition, in the additional effect in the above-described embodiment, when the operation means included in the operation image is not operated during the display of the operation image, the display of the operation image disappears based on the operation of the stop button 5 Although the example has been described, the display of the operation image may be lost based on “the elapsed time after the addition effect is started (after the operation image is displayed)”. That is, the disappearance timing of the operation image can be set as “the elapsed time since the operation image is displayed”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 35, an elapsed time (5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds) at which the operation image disappears may be determined based on the number of added games, and in this case, the number of added games is The higher the number, the higher the probability that a long-lost erasure timing will be selected. That is, the degree of expectation of the addition has a relationship of "20 seconds (second period)">"10 seconds (first period or second period)">"5 seconds (first period)" As the timing at which the image disappears increases from the start of the game, the degree of expectation for addition increases.

Further, in the additional effect in the above embodiment, although the example in which the display of the operation image is started at the timing when the additional effect is started based on the operation of the start lever 3 has been described, the present invention is not limited thereto. The timing at which the start of the game is started may be different from the timing at which the play of the game is started to indicate the degree of expectation for the game.
For example, as shown in FIG. 36, based on the relation of “at the time of game start operation” <“at the time of first reel stop operation” <“at the time of second reel stop operation” <“at the time of third reel stop operation” As the timing at which the display of the display starts is elapsed from the game start, the degree of expectation of the addition may be higher.

Moreover, in the additional effect in the above embodiment, one additional effect is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more additional effects may be provided. In this case, the disappearance timing of the operation image may be set to be different for each additional effect.
For example, the addition effect A sets the disappearance timing to "first reel stop operation", the addition effect B sets the disappearance timing to "second reel stop operation", and the addition effect C sets the disappearance timing to "third reel stop operation" By doing this, the degree of expectation can be suggested for each additional presentation to be selected, and the interest can be enhanced.

  In addition, in the additional result display, an effect indicating that the additional event has not been won may be displayed, and at the start of the next game, a resurrection effect may be performed informing that the additional event has been won. In addition, such a rebirth effect may increase the occurrence rate when “strong effect” or “strongest effect” having a relatively high degree of expectation is selected in the expectation degree effect display. In this way, it is possible to perform a more entertaining and highly expecting presentation.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
According to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the door members 15 having different numbers of movement are operated by operating the operation means, it is possible to perform an effect with impact, and the effect by operating the operation means Can be raised enough.
Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the expectation of winning of the ART is one in which the operation means having a wide operation area is operated or one in which an operation image including the operation means having a wide operation area is displayed. In the case where the operation means having a large operation area is operated or the operation image including the operation means having a wide operation area is displayed, the multiple door members 15 There is a correlation between the size of the operation area of such operation means and the winning expectation of the lottery process (ART lottery) that can be advantageous for the player, which has a relationship in which the probability of movement is high. While being able to make the player easily recognize the degree of expectation, the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image and the operation means, and the interest can be enhanced.
On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine in which the effect mode on the display unit is changed by operating the operation unit. However, in this gaming machine, even if the operation unit is operated, it is simply displayed on the display unit. Since only the display mode of is changed, the rendering effect by operating different operation means can not be sufficiently enhanced, which may cause a decrease in interest.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the timing at which the display of the operation image disappears is determined according to the number of added games, and the timing at which the display of the operation image disappears is the game progresses from the game start. There is a relationship in which the degree of expectation of the extra is high. That is, as the number of times the reel stop operation is performed increases ("1st reel stop operation"<"2nd reel stop operation"<"3rd reel stop operation"), the probability of winning of the addition becomes higher.
There is a correlation between the timing at which such display of the operation image disappears and the degree of expectation of the lottery process (lottery game number drawing) that can be advantageous to the player, so that the degree of expectation of the player is high or low. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the operation image, and the interest can be enhanced.
On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a gaming machine which executes display of the number of added games by the display means when the operation means is operated while the operation image for prompting the operation to the operation means is displayed in the display means. Although this game machine has only the function of prompting the user to operate the operation means, the display of the operation image has not been able to sufficiently enhance the interest of the game by the display of the operation image.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player an interest, interest, excitement, and a sense of expectation not found in the game played in the conventional gaming machine. It becomes possible to realize new game characteristics.
Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to solve all or part of such a problem to be improved by the conventional game machine.

  The invention according to the embodiment described above is not limited to only the above-described embodiment, and the following case can be applied as a modified embodiment or an applied embodiment.

For example, the operation means can be configured as follows.
In the above embodiment, the three operation means 12 to 14 are provided as the operation means for executing the effect, but two or less or four or more may be provided.
Although each of the three operation means 12 to 14 has different shapes and sizes, a plurality of operation means having the same shape and size may be provided.
Moreover, you may employ | adopt the thing of the type which presses the decoration panel P similarly to the big presentation button 14 as an operation means.
Also, a touch sensor (a device that touches) may be adopted as the operation means.
Further, as the operation means, not only pressing but also pulling out (a lever or the like) may be adopted.
Further, based on the arrangement position of the operation means, an expectation of winning in the lottery process that can be in a state advantageous to the player (a winning of ART lottery, a winning of an additional lottery) may be set. For example, the degree of expectation of winning may be set higher as the operation means is located at the upper or lower part of the slot machine 1.
Alternatively, the bet button 2a may be substituted for the effect button 12, and the winning result of the ART lottery or the expected effect of the additional effect may be displayed also by the operation of the bet button 2a. In this way, for a skilled person who is used to playing a game or for a player who wants to make the game progress quickly, the function is highly satisfying.
In addition, although the expectation of winning is different among all the operation means, the same or the same expectation of winning may be used.

In addition to the above, the following configuration can also be provided.
Although four (15La, 15Lb, 15Ra, 15Rb) are provided as the door members 15, one or five or more door members may be provided. In addition, although four of the examples have the same shape, the shapes may be different, and the door members 15 having different shapes may be associated with each other to move the door members 15 according to the operation means. May be
In addition, when displaying only a part of the slot machine 1 and displaying the entire slot machine 1 as an operation image prompting the operation of one operation means, execution of the entire slot machine 1 is enabled. The degree of expectation may be higher or lower than when displaying a part thereof. Alternatively, only a part of the slot machine 1 and the entire slot machine 1 may be displayed. For example, with regard to the large effect button 14, the case where only a part of the slot machine 1 is displayed and the case where the entire slot machine 1 is displayed may be executable, or both may be displayable.
Further, as the operation image, an operation image may be displayed which prompts an operation to two or more operation means. In this case, the greater the number of the operation means prompted, the higher or lower the degree of expectation can be.
Further, the degree of expectation may be made different depending on the position where the operation image is displayed on the display 8.
Further, as a privilege to be awarded to the player, any state may be used as long as it is a gaming state such as AT or bonus, which is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state, as well as the ART and the number of added games.
In addition, although ART is the ART for the number of games added type, it may be ART for the number of sets added type.
Moreover, the winning probability concerning each table (FIGS. 6-18, FIGS. 20-23, and 32-36) of this embodiment is not restricted to the value mentioned above, It can set and change arbitrarily.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 10 performs operations as various means such as game state control means, but the sub control unit 20 performs a part or all of it and the sub control unit 20 operates as various means You can also
Also, on the contrary, although the sub control unit 20 performs operations as various means such as effect execution means, the main control unit 10 performs part or all of it, and the main control unit 10 operates as various means. it can.

Further, although the present invention is applied to a slot machine, the present invention can be applied to other game machines such as a pachinko machine (e.g., ball slot machine).
Further, the present invention can be applied to a so-called enclosed type game machine which can execute a game using a pseudo game medium of data format without using actual game medium such as medals and game balls.

  Moreover, although the reel driven and controlled by the motor is used in this embodiment, instead of or in addition to this, it is also possible to display an image in which a symbol such as a reel fluctuates on a display such as a liquid crystal display. it can.
