Description

The present invention comprises a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified.
The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine or the like capable of generating a display result by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variably displayed.

A slot machine, which is a type of gaming machine, generally includes a variable display unit having reels on the outer peripheral portion of which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn as identification information, and a start switch is set with a prescribed bet number set. When the reel is operated by the operation of the reel, the stop switch is operated and the rotation of the reel is stopped. The symbol combination predetermined on the pay line (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter, symbol combination A prize is generated by deriving a combination of display results, also referred to as a winning combination).

Types of roles include small roles, special roles, and replay roles. Here, when the display result corresponding to the small winning combination is derived on the pay line, the number of medals determined for each type of small winning combination is paid out. When the display result corresponding to the special part is derived on the pay line,
The game state can be shifted to a special game state advantageous to the player, such as regular bonus and big bonus. When the display result corresponding to the replay role is derived on the pay line, the next game can be played without consuming new medals in setting the bet number.

As such a slot machine, there has been a slot machine which can be controlled in either a normal section in which operation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switch can not be notified or an advantageous section in which the operation information can be notified (for example, , Patent Document 1). This slot machine sets "1500" at the start of the advantageous section and updates the numerical value for each game, and then, without interrupting the numerical value update in any case, until the end of the advantageous section The number is "0"
When it became, the control which forced termination of the advantageous section was performed.

Patent No. 6112524

In the above-described slot machine, the control performed when the updated numerical value becomes “0” has not been taken into consideration at all regarding the gaming situation.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and its object is to provide an improved slot machine with respect to control performed based on updating of numerical values.

(1) A variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified,
After the variable display unit is variably displayed, a display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and in a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) where winning can be generated according to the display result,
Predetermining means (for example, processing for executing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41) for determining a display result which permits derivation;
Derivation operation means (for example, stop switch 8) operated to derive display results
L, 8C, 8R),
Transition means (for example, a transition means for shifting the operation information (for example, navigation information) corresponding to the operation mode of the derivation operation means from the normal section where the operation information can not be notified
Processing of shifting from the normal section to the advantageous section by the main control unit 41),
Special game state control means (for example, processing for controlling the bonus by the main control unit 41) to control to a special game state (for example, bonus) based on the special display result being derived
When,
Numerical value updating means (for example, processing for adding one to the advantageous section G number counter shown in S11 of FIG. 13) for updating a numerical value (for example, the advantageous section G number) during the advantageous section;
End means for ending the advantageous section (for example, the advantageous section end flag shown in S13 of FIG. 13 is set to ON when the numerical value becomes a specific value (for example, 1500).
8) processing to clear all the ball work shown in S83),
Specific control means (for example, processing of displaying result screen with execution of freeze shown in FIG. 28) indicating that the numerical value has reached the specified value (for example, execution of freeze by the main control unit 41) Processing to display the result screen)
When the determination result of the predetermination means is a special determination result (for example, bonus winning) that allows derivation of the special display result, the special determination result is carried over until the special display result is derived (for example, The bonus winning will be carried over until the bonus is won),
The specific control means performs the specific control when the numerical value reaches the specific value regardless of whether the special determination result is carried over in the advantageous section (for example, as shown in FIG. 28A). As shown, when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games at the timing t7 of the non-internal and in the ending state in the advantageous section, the result screen is displayed with the execution of the freeze at the timing t7, as shown in FIG. If the number G of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games at timing t33 inside and in the non-ending state in the advantageous sections, the result screen is displayed together with the execution of the freeze at timing t33).

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above,
Suggestion means for suggesting an advantageous interval which suggests that the advantageous interval is being controlled (eg,
18 further includes an advantageous section lamp lighting process shown in S85 of FIG.
The suggestion means ends the advantageous section suggestion at the timing when the game when the numerical value reaches the specific value ends (for example, the advantageous section lamp extinguishing process shown in S86 of FIG. 18, FIG. 28
The advantageous section lamp is turned off at timing t6 of (a), timing t33 of FIG. 31 (d).
In the advantageous section lights).

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
The specific control is a control that indicates that the numerical value has reached the specific value by indicating the outcome of the game in the advantageous section under control and delaying the progress of the game (for example, execution of freeze) Result screen is displayed).

(4) In the slot machine according to any one of the above (1) to (3),
When the special determination result is carried over, the special display result corresponding to the special determination result is not derived unless the derivation operation means is operated at a specific operation timing (for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a bonus In the case of 1 to 3, the corresponding symbol combination is not arranged within 5 frames in each reel, so even if it is won, the winning combination may be missed).

(5) In the slot machine according to any one of the above (1) to (4),
When a predetermined timing until the numerical value reaches the specific value (for example, when the ending state counter + the timing when the number of advantage G reaches 1000) is reached, the numerical value reaches the specific value until the specific value is reached. A special condition (for example,
Special state control means (for example, processing to set next main state = ending state shown in S252 of FIG. 26) to control to ending state;
And display means (for example, liquid crystal display 51) for displaying an image,
In the special state, the probability of occurrence of effects is lower than in the other states controlled in the advantageous section (for example, as shown at timing t2 in FIG. 28 (a)) And the bonus notification is performed as shown in FIG.
As shown at timing t23 to t25 of (c), in the ending state, no bonus sounding and no bonus notification are given after the bonus is won),
Even when the special game state is controlled in the special state, the background image on the display means does not change (for example, in the ending state as shown at timings t21 to t26 in FIG. 31C), The background won't change even after winning the bonus).

(6) In the slot machine of (5) above,
It further comprises special value updating means (for example, processing of adding 1 to the ending state counter shown in S17a of FIG. 13) for updating the numerical value (for example, ending state counter) related to the special state,
While the special numerical value updating means does not update the numerical value relating to the special state while the special determination result is carried over (for example, when it is determined YES in S15 of FIG. 13)
The process of S17a is not performed).

(7) In the slot machine according to any one of the above (1) to (6),
Notification-related processing means (for example, main control unit 4) that executes notification-related processing (for example, lottery related to an instruction function such as an additional lottery) on notification of the operation information in the advantageous section
Further comprising a process of executing a lottery relating to the instruction function by 1),
The notification related processing means
When the determination result of the prior determination means in the advantageous section is the special determination result, and the special display result corresponding to the special determination result is derived, the control is performed based on the special display result being derived. It is possible to execute the notification related processing in the special gaming state (for example, as shown in FIG. 12A, when one of the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 is won, the additional lottery is performed during the bonus) Can be implemented),
The numerical value reaches the specific value when the determination result of the prior determination means is the special determination result and the special determination result is carried over in the advantageous interval, and the specific control is performed, and then the special When the special display result corresponding to the determination result is derived, the notification related processing is not executed in the special gaming state controlled based on the special display result being derived (for example, as shown in FIG. 31D). As shown, at the timing t33 in the inside where bonus 1 and bonus 2 with no setting difference are won, the advantageous section G number counter is 1500.
When the game is reached and the result screen is displayed with the execution of the freeze, the bonus is treated as a bonus with a setting difference during the subsequent bonus, and the additional drawing is not executed during the bonus).

(8) In the slot machine of (7) above,
It further comprises setting means (for example, processing of executing setting change processing shown in FIG. 27 by the main control unit 41) capable of setting setting values for determining the degree of advantage.
The first special determination result (for example, bonus 1 + chance winning, bonus 2 + chance winning, and bonus 3 winning) in which the probability that the decision result of the predetermination means is different depends on the setting value. The second special decision result (bonus 1 winning and bonus 2 winning) in which the probability of the decision result of the predetermination means does not differ according to the set value;
The notification related processing means
The determination result of the predetermination means in the advantageous interval is the second special determination result,
When the special display result corresponding to the second special determination result is derived, the notification related processing is executed in the special gaming state controlled based on the special display result being derived (for example, as shown in FIG. 12). As shown in (a), when one of the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 is won, an additional drawing may be executed during the bonus),
The determination result of the predetermination means in the advantageous interval is the first special determination result,
When the special display result corresponding to the first special determination result is derived, the notification related processing is not executed in the special gaming state controlled based on the special display result being derived (for example, FIG. 12). As shown in (a), when one of the bonus 1 + chance, the bonus 2 + chance, and the bonus 3 is won, the additional drawing is not executed during the bonus).

An embodiment for implementing a slot machine according to the present invention will be described below on the basis of an embodiment.

[Slot machine configuration]
FIG. 1A is a front view of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a view showing an example of the main internal configuration of the slot machine 1. FIG. 2 is a view showing a symbol arrangement of reels.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 is provided with a liquid crystal display 51 on the front door 1b. A bonus lamp 60 is provided above the liquid crystal display 51 in the front door 1b. The bonus lamp 60 is a lamp for notifying that the special state is in progress. Special conditions include bonuses such as RB (regular bonus), BB (big bonus), SB (single bonus), and CB (challenge bonus), where the probability of winning a small part (bell, etc.) is higher than in the non-special condition. Be In the present embodiment, the bonus lamp 60 is turned on when the bonus is being played, and is turned off when the bonus is not being played.

A see-through window 3 is formed below the liquid crystal display 51 in the front door 1b. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, 2R juxtaposed in the housing 1a through the see-through window 3. As shown in FIG. 2, on each reel, a plurality of kinds of symbols that can be identified are arranged in a predetermined order.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), according to the game state within the range of the gaming value (credits) stored in the medal insertion portion 4 where the game medium (medal) is inserted into the front door 1b. MAX BET switch 6 operated when setting a defined number of bets, start switch 7 operated when starting a game, and stop switch 8 L operated when stopping the rotation of the reel , 8C, 8R, and an effect switch 56 used for the effect.

The front door 1b is provided with a game display unit 13 for reporting information on the game. The game aid display unit 1 displays the number of medals paid out, an error code at the time of an error, or operation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, etc.
2 and an advantageous section lamp 19 for indicating or notifying that it is in an advantageous section described later by lighting the lamp, and the like. In the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the order of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (operation procedure, pushing order) and the timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (operation timing) included.
In the present embodiment, as the information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (navigation information to be described later), seven segments of numbers and alphabets corresponding to the pressing order are displayed by the game assistance display 12. The advantageous section lamp 19 lights up when it is in the advantageous section and turns off when it is not in the advantageous section.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player sets a specified number of bets by inserting a medal into the medal insertion portion 4 or operating the MAX BET switch 6 or the like. As a result, the pay line LN is activated, and the operation to the start switch 7 is activated, and the game can be started. If a medal is inserted with the bet number set, that amount is added as a credit.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2
R is rotated and symbols are variably displayed, and when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reels is stopped, and three symbols are derived as display results on the upper, middle, and lower portions of the perspective window 3 Is displayed. What can be selected as a symbol (display result) displayed on the pay line LN is a symbol displayed on the pay line LN when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, and four frames from there It is a design for a total of 5 frames of the design that has been to the end. When the winning combination occurs by stopping the symbol combination of the winning combination on the winning line LN, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the winning and added to the credit or the upper limit number of credits When it reaches, the medal is paid out from the medal payout opening 9.

In the narrow sense, "game" in the slot machine 1 means from the operation of the start switch 7 to the stop of all the reels, but when playing a game, the number of bets before the operation of the start switch 7 is set In addition, since the payout of medals and the transition of the gaming state are also performed after all reels have been stopped, these additional processes are also broadly included in the "game".

As shown in FIG. 1B, the slot machine 1 is provided with a main control unit 41 for controlling the progress of the game, a sub control unit 91 for controlling an effect, and the like. Main control unit 4
1 includes a main CPU 41a that executes various processes, a RAM 41c that stores various data, and the like. The sub control unit 91 includes a main CPU 91a that executes various processes, a RAM 91c that stores various data, and the like. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect according to the command transmitted from the main control unit 41.

The main control unit 41 detects an operation on the MAX BET switch 6, the start switch 7, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. The main control unit 41 controls the seven-segment display of the game assist indicator 12 included in the game display unit 13 and the lighting or extinguishing of the advantageous section lamp 19. The sub control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56. The sub control unit 91 controls the image display of the liquid crystal display 51 and the lighting or extinguishing of the bonus lamp 60. Note that FIG. 1B is merely an example, and other configurations are also provided inside the slot machine 1.

[Setting value]
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the payout rate of medals (the ratio of the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets and the total number of medals paid out by winning) changes. Specifically, by using the winning probability (the number of judgment values) corresponding to the set value in the internal lottery,
The payout rate of medals changes. The set value is composed of six steps of 1 to 6, and, for example, 6 is the highest payout rate, and the payout rate decreases as the values become smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, from the point of payout rate, the player has the highest advantage when the setting value is set to 6, and the advantages become lower stepwise as the value becomes smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Become. It is also known that there is a setting difference that the winning probability (the number of judgment values) changes according to the setting value, and that there is no change in the winning probability (the number of judgment values) according to the setting value.

The administrator changes the setting change state by turning on the setting key switch (not shown) provided inside the slot machine 1 while the power of the slot machine 1 is off, and switching the power of the slot machine 1 from off to on. Can control the state, and the setting value can be changed in the setting change state. In addition, the administrator can control the state in the setting confirmation state by turning on the setting key switch while the power of the slot machine 1 is ON, and the setting value may be confirmed in the setting confirmation state. it can.

[Prize winning combination]
The winning combination and the special figure will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a small part. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a small role, a special role, and a special figure. FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are diagrams for explaining the replay role. The name column of FIGS. 3 to 6 shows the name of a winning combination or a special drawing, and the combination column of symbols shows the combination of the winning combination or special drawing. Further, in the remarks column, the operation (at the time of winning a prize, medal payout, re-game award, transition of gaming state, etc.) is shown.

The winning combinations include special roles, small roles, and replay roles. The special role is the role accompanied by the transition to the bonus. The small role is the role accompanied by the awarding of medals. Replay is a role accompanied by the provision of replay. Replay means making it possible to start the next game without consuming gaming value (for example, credit).

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, among the winning combinations, the small ones include AT01 to AT16, bell 1
, 2 and 1 to 8 are included. In addition, Bell 1 and 2 are generically named Bell, AT01-A
The T16 is generically referred to as an AT role, and the 1 sheet role 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as a single sheet role. Bonuses 1 to 3 are included in the special part of the winning combinations. The bonuses 1 to 3 are also collectively referred to as a bonus. Each of the bonuses 1 to 3 has a symbol combination corresponding to each reel 2L, 2C,
Not placed within 5 frames in 2R. For example, for bonus 1, "BAR" of left reel 2L is not arranged within 5 frames in left reel 2L, and middle reel 2C.
"BAR" of the middle reel 2C is not arranged within 5 frames, the right reel 2R
"BAR" is not arranged within 5 frames on the right reel 2R. Therefore, if each stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is not operated with good timing, the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus can not be derived on the pay line LN, and the bonus winning will be missed. The special view includes special views 1 and 2. A special figure is a lost eye that can be derived when a leading role and a side role are dropped in a game that has been won by a push bell described later.

Once a bonus is won, the bonus is controlled until a predetermined ending condition is satisfied according to the type of bonus. The termination conditions include that a predetermined number of medals have been paid out during a bonus, that a predetermined number of games have been consumed during a bonus, and that a predetermined number of winnings have occurred during a bonus. In the present embodiment, in the case of bonus 1 and bonus 2, the bonus end condition is satisfied when more than 324 medals are paid out during the bonus. Further, in the case of the bonus 3, the bonus end condition is satisfied when over 81 medals are paid out during the bonus.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, among the winning combinations, the re-playing combination includes Lips 1 to 21. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the lips 9 to 16 are symbol combinations in which 7 are displayed over two upper and lower tiers in any of the reels, and are also referred to as 7 replay. The lip 17 is a symbol combination in which two cherry symbols are arranged in the lower part, and is also called weak cherry. The lip 18 is a combination of three cherry patterns in the lower part, and is also called strong cherry. In addition, the replay role is generally referred to simply as replay.

[Playing state]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state. The game state includes a state in which a winning probability of replay in an internal lottery is determined, and such state is also referred to as an RT state. Further, the gaming state includes the inside which can be shifted by winning the bonus and the winning of the won bonus, and the bonus which can be shifted by the winning of the bonus. In the present embodiment, RT0 to RT4 are provided as the RT state.

RT0 and RT1 are states in which the probability of winning a replay is the lowest among all the game states. RT3 and RT4 are states in which the probability of winning a replay is the highest among all the game states. RT2 has a higher probability of replay win than RT0 and RT1, but RT3 and RT4
Replay win probability is lower than that.

RT0 is controlled after the bonus is over. When the special view is displayed at RT0, the gaming state shifts to RT1. When the RT2 transition lip (rip 3) is displayed in RT1, the gaming state shifts to RT2. When the RT3 transition lip (rip 5) is displayed in RT2, the gaming state shifts to RT3. On the other hand, the special figure or RT1 transition
When the lip 4) is displayed, the gaming state shifts to RT1. When the RT4 transition lip (rip 8) is displayed in RT3, the gaming state shifts to RT4. On the other hand, when the special view or the RT1 transition lip (rip 4) is displayed in RT3, the gaming state shifts to RT1. When the special view or RT1 transition lip (rip 4) is displayed in RT4, the gaming state shifts to RT1.

In any RT state, when the bonus winning game does not win the bonus, the bonus winning is carried over and the gaming state shifts to the inside, and when the bonus winning game wins the bonus, the gaming state is Transfer to bonus. When the player wins a bonus inside, the gaming state shifts to a bonus.

[Participant for lottery]
FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are diagrams for explaining a lottery target combination. The lottery target role is a role to be a target of the internal lottery performed by the slot machine 1. The internal lottery is a process that is executed by the main control unit 41 to determine symbol combinations that are allowed to be derived. In addition, if derivation | leading-out of a symbol combination is accept | permitted by internal lottery, it will be elected by the role corresponding to the said symbol combination.

As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, bonus 1, bonus 2, bonus 1 + chance (Bonus 1 and chance simultaneously won), bonus 2 + chance (Bonus 2 and chance simultaneously) for the lottery role of the special part.
Includes Bonus 2 and Coincidence of Opportunity), and Bonus 3. The winning combination for the small part includes the chance, the common bell, the left correct bells 1 to 4, the middle correct bells 1 to 4, and the right correct bells 1 to 4. These small roles are subject to internal lottery in any RT state and can be won.

Here, when bonus 1 and bonus 2 are simultaneously won with the chance, the reel control is performed such that the symbol combination corresponding to the chance is derived on the pay line LN prior to the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus 1 and bonus 2 Is done. For this reason, when the bonus 1 or the bonus 2 is simultaneously won with the chance, the chance can be won in preference to the bonus 1 or the bonus 2. In addition, the chance may be won alone. Furthermore, the loser is derived when a winning is missed, whether Bonus 1 or Bonus 2 is won alone, Bonus 1 or Bonus 2 is simultaneously won with the chance, or the chance is won alone. Is common. For this reason, when such a missing eye (also referred to as a common missing eye) is derived, whether bonus 1 or bonus 2 is won alone, bonus 1 or bonus 2 is simultaneously won with the chance, or the chance is alone It is difficult for the player to recognize whether he has won.

For the lottery role of the replay role, advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle level cherries, advantageous normal replays, strong cherries, weak cherries, direct hit replays, 7 replays 1 to 7, normal replays 1 to 3, preparation replays 1 to 1 6, rush Replay 1 to 5, RT1 fall Replay 1 to 3, upswing Replay 1 to 3 and RT 3 fall Replay 1 to 3 are included.

These re-playing roles include a role to be a lottery target and a role not to be a lottery target according to the type of the RT state. In the gaming state column shown in FIG. 8, lottery object roles to be lottery objects are indicated by circles for each type of RT. For example, the direct hit replay is a lottery target only at RT0 and can be won, but is not a lottery target in other RT states. Also, strong cherries and weak cherries are not selected for lottery only at RT0. Furthermore, 7
Replays 1 to 6 are not lottery targets at RT0 to RT2, but RT3 and R
It is a lottery target at T4.

The left correct answer bells 1 to 4, the middle correct answer bells 1 to 4, and the right correct answer bells 1 to 4 are also referred to as push order bells because the winning combinations differ according to the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Also, preparation replays 1 to 6, rush replays 1 to 5, RT1 fall replays 1 to 3, upswing replays 1 to 3, RT3 fall replays 1 to 3, and 7 replays 1 to 7 are stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Because the part to be awarded is different according to the order of pressing, it is also referred to as pressing order lip. Furthermore, these push order bell and push order lip are collectively referred to as push order.

Each of the above-described lottery target roles is assigned a role number. In FIG. 8, the lottery target roles with the highest assigned combination number are arranged in order from the top. In the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not winning has been made in order from the lottery target combination with the highest combination number. For example, in the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 acquires a random number from an integer within a predetermined range (0 to 65535). The number of judgment values according to the RT state is assigned to each lottery target combination from among integers within a predetermined range (0 to 65535) in advance. For example, Bonus 1 is assigned 100 judgment values of 65435 to 65535 in any RT state. The main control unit 41 sequentially adds the judgment value numbers to the acquired random numbers, starting from the lottery target role with the highest combination number, and when the addition result overflows (exceeds 65535), the addition target at that time The winning combination is determined to be the winning combination.

As shown in FIG. 9, each of the lottery target roles described above includes a combination in which a plurality of winning combinations are redundantly targeted. For example, in the push order bell, the bell, the AT part, and the one-piece combination overlap and become a lottery target, and when they are won, all of these combinations are won. Also for other lottery target roles, predetermined roles are overlapped and become lottery targets.

[Reel control at the time of winning the winning order
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning a winning combination. In the pushing order shown in FIG. 10, the left first stop is the pushing order to stop the left reel 2L first, and the middle first stop is the pushing order to stop the middle reel 2C first, The first right stop is a pushing order in which the right reel 2R is stopped first.

As shown in FIG. 10, each pressing order is a stop switch 8L, at the time of winning.
Different roles are won according to the pressing order of 8C and 8R. Specifically, the pressing order corresponding to each of the correct procedure and the incorrect procedure is predetermined for each pressing order. Then, when the winning combination is won, or when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the correct procedure, the player who has a higher degree of advantage of the player than when operated in the incorrect procedure, or the player The part who suggests that the degree of advantage is high is won. The correct procedure is not limited to the pressing order, and may be an operation timing, or may be a combination of the pressing order and the operation timing.

For example, in the case of winning the left correct bells 1 to 4, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated at the left first stop, the bell 1 of 9 payouts is won and is operated at other than the left first stop. The 1-payout AT role wins, or a special map is displayed. In addition, when a push order bell is won, the bell that is won according to the push order is referred to as a leading role, and the AT combination is also referred to as a side part. As shown in FIG. 10, the order of pressing is determined in advance so that the different winning combinations can be won for the other pressing regulars.

[Navi]
The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a function of notifying navigation information corresponding to the operation mode (for example, the above-mentioned correct procedure) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R which is advantageous for the player. The function for such notification is called navigation. The navigation includes navigation performed by the main control unit 41 and navigation performed by the sub control unit 91.

When navigation is performed by the main control unit 41 as shown in the column of the navigation notification of FIG. 8, a number or an alphabet corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are navigation aids as navigation information. Seven segments are displayed at twelve. Notification of navigation information performed by the navigation of the main control unit 41 is also referred to as navigation notification. Here, in the navigation notification column of FIG. 8, 1F is left first stop, 2F is middle first stop, 3F is right first stop, 12 is left middle right, 13 is left and right, 21 is middle left and right, 23 Indicates middle right left, 31 indicates right middle left, and 32 indicates right middle left. The combination in which navigation notification is not performed is indicated as off in the navigation notification column.

When navigation is performed by the sub control unit 91, the stop switch 8L is used as navigation information.
, 8C, and 8R are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The notification of the navigation information performed by the navigation of the sub control unit 91 is also referred to as navigation effect. As shown in the column of transmission navigation in FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 transmits, to the sub control unit 91, a command capable of specifying navigation information to be a target of navigation notification according to the winning lottery target role. For example, when the main control unit 41 wins the left correct bell, the main control unit 41 displays 1F on the game assistance display 12 as navigation notification and subdivides the type 7 as a command that can specify 1F (that is, left first stop). It is transmitted to the control unit 91. When receiving the command of type 7, the sub-control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display a number image (for example, an image of 123) corresponding to the first left stop.

Here, when the navigation control is not performed, the main control unit 41 transmits, to the sub control unit 91, a command of type 0 for which the operation mode can not be specified. Even when the sub control unit 91 receives a command of type 0, the sub control unit 91 can not specify the operation mode, and thus basically does not execute navigation effects. However, even when the sub control unit 91 receives a command of type 0 only when 7 replays are won,
There is a case to perform navigation effects. That is, when 7 replays are won, the main control unit 41
The sub control unit 91 is capable of executing navigation effects while not performing navigation notification.

[Game section]
The main control unit 41 controls a plurality of game sections as a concept of a state different from the gaming state (RT state). The game section includes a normal section, a standby section, and an advantageous section.
The normal section and the advantageous section can be controlled in any RT state. Also, the waiting period may be controlled throughout.

The normal section is a section in which navigation information can not be notified. The advantageous section is a section in which navigation information can be notified, and is a section having a performance related to an instruction function (navigation) for instructing the player the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In the advantageous section, the navigation is performed at least once, in which a winning (a bell in the present embodiment, the main character, the main character) that can obtain the maximum payout number is obtained. Specifically, when the pushing order bell is won, a navigation for notifying a correct procedure is performed. The advantageous section is a section (state) more advantageous to the player than the normal section, in that the navigation is executed at least once in which the winning is obtained so that the maximum payout number can be obtained.

After the setting change, it is controlled to the normal section, and shifts to the advantageous section based on winning of the transition to the advantageous section. The transition to the advantageous section is won when a predetermined condition is established. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 shifts to the advantageous section when it is elected to the advantageous section shift combination in the normal section. As shown in the column of advantageous segment transition in FIG. 8, the part with the setting difference does not become the advantageous segment transition part, but the part without the setting difference can be the advantageous segment transition part. Furthermore, a combination whose winning probability in the internal lottery changes in accordance with the RT state does not become an advantageous interval transition combination, but a combination whose winning probability in the internal lottery does not change in accordance with the RT condition can become an advantageous interval transition combination. In the present embodiment, the advantageous section transition role includes bonuses 1 and 2, advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle cherry, and advantageous normal replay. In the normal section, when these roles are won in the internal lottery, the transition to the advantageous section is determined 100% (hereinafter, also referred to as advantageous section winning).

In the present embodiment, the advantageous section includes a precursor state, CZ1, CZ2, AT, and a specialization zone. In the present embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is won, CZ1 is selected as the type of the advantageous section by the advantageous section sorting lottery, and only after the precursor state.
It is decided either to transition, and after a precursor condition to CZ2 transition. The number of games in the advantageous section is determined by lottery.

When only the admonition state is determined by the advantageous section allocation lottery, the advantageous section lamp 19 is lighted in the determined game, and a predetermined number of games (for example, 5 games) from the next game
The indication effect (for example, battle effect between characters) is performed. In the meanwhile, navigation information for winning the protagonist at the time of winning the push order bell is performed at least once. In the result of the admonition effect, whether the advantageous section ends as it is and shifts to the normal section (for example, LOSE displays as a result of the battle effect) or does it shift to CZ1 or CZ2 and the advantageous section continues (for example, WIN is displayed as a result of the battle effect). When the advantageous section ends, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off in the game (in the game in which LOSE is displayed), and when the advantageous section continues, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit.

When a bonus is won in the normal section, the control is controlled to a standby section in which control to the advantageous section is awaited until the bonus is won. In the standby section, when a bonus is won, it is controlled to an advantageous section.

When being controlled to the advantageous section, it shifts to the normal section based on the satisfaction of the predetermined end condition. The predetermined termination condition includes a condition that is satisfied when the numerical value updated in the advantageous section reaches a specific value regardless of the type of the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 counts the number of digested games in the advantageous section (also referred to as the advantageous section G number). When the number G of the advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games, the main control unit 41 initializes all data related to the advantageous sections, and shifts to the normal section by ending the currently-executed advantageous sections. In this case, for example, if the currently-running advantageous section is CZ, CZ ends even if the number of CZ games still remains. Also, for example, if the currently running advantageous section is AT, AT ends even if the number of AT games still remains.

In addition, when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games, while shifting from the advantageous sections to the normal section, the gaming state may be controlled to the initial RT state after the setting change. For example, if the initial RT state after the setting change is RT1, the gaming state may be controlled to RT1 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games.

Further, the predetermined ending condition includes a condition that can be established before the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games, and a condition that is established when the right to control to the advantageous section is lost.
The right to control to the advantageous segment is the number of precursor games to control to the precursor state, CZ
The number of CZ games to control, the number of AT games to control AT, and the number of specialized zone games to control specialized zones. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines the remaining number of games to be controlled to an advantageous section such as the number of accrual games, the number of CZ games, the number of AT games, and the number of specialized zone games ) Reaches 0,
The transition to the normal section is made by ending the currently running advantageous section.

In the advantageous section, a lottery relating to the instruction function is performed. In the lottery pertaining to the instruction function, AT
And a lottery for determining whether or not to control, and a lottery for extending a period of time to be controlled by the AT.
While being controlled to the standby section, the lottery concerning the navigation and the instruction function is not performed. When the winning combination with the setting difference is won, the drawing for the instructing function is not performed, but when the winning combination without the setting difference is won, the drawing for the instructing function may be performed. It should be noted that, unlike the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section, regardless of whether or not the winning probability of the internal lottery changes depending on the RT state,
If the combination does not have a setting difference, a lottery relating to the instruction function can be performed.

The precursor states and CZ1 and CZ2 are states in which the degree of advantage regarding control to the AT is higher than that in the normal section. A high degree of advantage regarding control to AT means that the AT game, which is the right to control the AT, may be granted, and the probability of controlling the AT (probability of winning in the lottery related to the indication function) is higher than that of the normal section. It includes high, and AT games being awarded more than in the normal section.

The prognostic state is a state in which a period in which navigation can be performed is not guaranteed compared to the CZ1, CZ2, AT, and the specialization zone, and is the state of least advantage among the advantageous sections. The precursor state is C
Controlled by Z1, CZ2 or AT, the advantage section continues as it is, or CZ1, CZ
It is a state which suggests whether it shifts to a usual section without being controlled by 2 or AT. For example,
In the precursor state, after the effect image by the battle effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 over a plurality of games, the advantageous section continues or shifts to the normal section according to the result of the battle in the final game of the battle effect Is reported.

CZ2 is in a state in which the degree of advantage is higher than CZ1. For example, CZ2 has a higher degree of advantage for control to AT than CZ1. The high degree of advantage for control to AT includes that the probability of control to AT is higher than CZ1, that AT games are given more than CZ1, and the like.

AT is in a state of prognostic state and a higher degree of advantage than CZ1 and CZ2. For example, in the AT, the period in which navigation can be performed is guaranteed longer than the precursor state and CZ1 and CZ2. Alternatively, in the AT, the number of times navigation can be performed is guaranteed more than in the precursor state and CZ1 and CZ2. Thus, since the AT is guaranteed to have a longer navigation period than the aura and CZ1 and CZ2, for example, it is possible to increase the number of games for winning the leading role when the bell is won, and the aura and CZ1, CZ1, The advantage is higher than CZ2.

The specialization zone can be shifted only from the AT, and can extend the period controlled by the AT. As shown in FIG. 7, the state controlled by AT in RT3 is also referred to as ART. A
In RT, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the main control unit 41 executes a specialization zone lottery that determines whether or not to shift to the specialization zone as a lottery relating to the instruction function. In the present embodiment, 7 replays are frequently (for example, 1/2 winning probability) won during RT3. When 7 replays are won during the ART, the special zone lottery is executed, and the right of transition to the special zone is granted with a predetermined probability (for example, 10%). When the right of the specialization zone is granted in the ART, it is controlled first during the specialization zone preparation in RT3. During preparation of the specialization zone, it is in a state of having the right of the specialization zone but not yet controlled by the specialization zone (a state in which the subtraction of the number of remaining advantageous G in the specialization zone has not started). During preparation of the special zone, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8N are selected according to the navigation information when winning the upward replay.
Transition from special zone preparation to special zone regardless of whether 8R is operated or not. Thereby, the subtraction of the number G of remaining advantages in the specialization zone starts.

When transitioning from the ART to the specialization zone, a start effect indicating the start of the specialization zone is executed, and delay control (also referred to as freeze) is performed to delay the progress of the game over the delay period. For example, the sub control unit 91 performs the start effect by displaying a character image or a character image that suggests starting of the specialization zone on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the main control unit 41 performs the transition to the specialization zone in the game in which the ascending replay is won, or in the next game of the game (starting game of the specialization zone),
The activation of the operation to the operation means related to the progress of the game such as the MAX BET switch 6, the start switch 7 and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is delayed. In addition, the start effect and the freeze are when transitioning from ART to the specialization zone regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified when winning in the upswing replay in RT3. In a common manner.

Here, in the game in which 7 replays are won during the ART, the navigation information notified by the navigation effect changes between when the special zone lottery is won and when the special zone lottery is not won. Specifically, when the main control unit 41 is won by the special zone lottery,
A command including information to that effect is transmitted to the sub control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 10, in a game in which 7 replays are won during ART, when the sub control unit 91 does not win in the special zone lottery, the navigation information of the left first stop corresponding to the lip 1 is navigated by the navigation effect When notification is made and it is recognized that the special zone lottery has been won based on a command from the main control unit 41, navigation information other than the left first stop corresponding to 7 replay is notified by the navigation effect. As a result, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation and seven sets are displayed, it is possible to notify the player that the right of the specialization zone has been granted. Also,
The sub-control unit 91 has already notified the player that the right of the specialization zone has been granted during the preparation of the specialization zone or after the specialization zone is selected after winning the specialization zone lottery, so 7 replays In the game won, the navigation information of the first left stop corresponding to the lip 1 is notified by the navigation effect.

During ART, when the winning order bell is won, the net increase number is increased by the winning of the leading role, and it is possible to avoid the fall to RT1 due to the display of the special figure. In addition, it is possible to promote to RT4 by winning the RT4 transition ripple while avoiding a fall to the RT1 due to the winning of the RT1 transition ripple when winning the ascending replay. Furthermore, as mentioned above, R
Since T3 is in a state in which the probability of winning a replay is high, it is less likely to be lost in the internal lottery than RT1 or RT2.

In the specialization zone, when the player wins the push order bell, the net increase number is increased by the winning of the leading role, and it is possible to avoid the fall to RT1 due to the display of the special figure. Also, RT1
It is also possible to avoid the fall to RT1 due to the winning of the RT1 transition lip when winning the fall fall replay. Furthermore, as described above, since RT4 is in a state in which the probability of winning a replay is high, it is less likely to be lost in the internal lottery than RT1 or RT2 accordingly. Thus, A
The state controlled by the AT, such as the RT and the specialization zone, is advantageous to the player over RT1 and RT2 in that the net increase can be increased without consuming medals.

In the AT and the specialization zone, an AT addition lottery is executed which can extend the time period controlled by the AT when a predetermined condition is satisfied. If you win an extra in the extra lottery, the number of AT games will be added.

A state with AT rights in CZ1 and CZ2 but not yet controlled by ART (A
The state in which the subtraction of the T number of remaining G is not started) is referred to as ART preparation. A at RT2
In preparation for RT, when winning in inrush replay RT by RT1 transition lip prize
It can be promoted to RT3 by winning the RT3 transition lip while avoiding a fall to 1. When promoted to RT3, under the control of the ART, subtraction of the number of G remaining in AT is started.

As shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to win a direct hit replay only at RT0. The direct hit replay is a lottery trigger of a lottery relating to the instruction function. For example, CZ1 in RT0
, CZ 2 and an AT game is awarded with 100% probability. When an AT game is given, it is controlled by ART via ART preparing. Therefore, the player is expected to win a direct hit replay before the transition to RT1 by the display of the special view at RT0 after the end of the bonus.

[Various lottery]
Various lottery performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

First, with reference to FIG. 11, a lottery relating to winning of a combination other than a bonus will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the lottery regarding the winning of the part other than the bonus.

FIG. 11A shows a table 1 for the advantageous section sorting lottery used in the advantageous section sorting lottery during the normal section. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the advantageous section sorting lottery is executed when one of the advantageous section transition roles, advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle-level cherries, and advantageous normal replay is won. As described above, the advantageous strong cherries, the advantageous weak cherries, the middle row cherries, and the advantageous normal replays are a part without setting difference, and a part that the winning probability of the internal lottery does not change according to the RT status. In the advantageous section sorting lottery, as the type of the advantageous section based on the lottery probability predetermined for each winning combination,
Only the precursor condition is determined as either CZ1 transition after the precursor condition or CZ2 transition after the precursor condition.

FIG. 11B shows the AT lottery table 2 used in the AT lottery in CZ1. As shown in FIG. 11 (b), the AT lottery in CZ1 is executed when one of the advantageous strong cherries, the advantageous weak cherries, the middle row cherries, the advantageous normal replays, the strong cherries, the weak cherries and the direct replays is won. Be done. As described above, the strong cherries, the weak cherries, and the direct hit replays are a part without a setting difference, and a part with which the winning probability of the internal lottery changes according to the RT state. In the AT lottery in CZ1, the presence or absence of AT winning is determined based on the lottery probability predetermined for each winning combination. In addition, the part where the winning probability of the internal lottery changes according to the RT state (strong cherry, weak cherry, direct hit replay) is the part that the winning probability of the internal drawing does not change according to the RT state (favorable cherry, advantageous weak cherry , Middle stage cherries, advantageous normal replay (at the same time or higher) AT winning will be elected.

FIG. 11C shows the AT lottery table 3 used in the AT lottery in CZ2. As shown in FIG. 11 (c), the AT lottery in CZ2 is executed when one of the advantageous strong cherries, the advantageous weak cherries, the middle row cherries, the advantageous normal replays, the strong cherries, the weak cherries, and the direct replays is won. Be done. In the AT lottery in CZ2, the presence or absence of AT winning is determined based on the lottery probability predetermined for each winning combination. In addition, the part (strong cherry, weak cherry, direct hit replay) where the winning probability of the internal lottery changes according to the RT state is R
Part that does not change the winning probability of the internal lottery according to the T state (Available cherries, Favorable cherries,
The AT wins with the same probability as or higher than middle stage cherries, advantageous normal replays). Furthermore, in CZ2, when it is the same lottery opportunity (winning combination), the AT is elected with the same probability as or higher than in CZ1.

When the AT is won, the number of AT games to be awarded may be determined by lottery, or the number of AT games to be granted may be determined in advance. At this time, when AT is won during CZ2, it is preferable that the expected value of the number of AT games to be awarded is higher than when AT is won during CZ1.

FIG. 11 (d) shows a table 4 for additional lottery used in the additional lottery during AT. As shown in FIG. 11 (d), the additional drawing in AT includes advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle tier cherries, advantageous normal replays, strong cherries, weak cherries, and 7 replays 1 to 1
Executed when one of 7 is won. Note that 7 Replays 1 to 7 are roles with no setting difference, and roles for changing the winning probability of the internal lottery according to the RT state. In the addition lottery during AT, one AT game number is determined from a plurality of types of AT game numbers including 0 game, based on a lottery probability predetermined for each winning combination. In addition, the part (the strong cherry, weak cherry, 7 replay 1 to 7) where the winning probability of the internal lottery changes according to the RT state, RT
The expected value of the number of AT games to be given is higher than that of the player who does not change the winning probability of the internal lottery according to the state (favorable cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle cherries, advantageous normal replay).

FIG. 11 (e) shows an additional drawing table 5 used in the additional drawing in the specialization zone. As shown in FIG. 11 (e), the additional drawing in the specialization zone is advantageous strong cherry,
Favorable weak cherries, middle cherries, advantageous normal replays, strong cherries, weak cherries, and 7
It is executed when one of the replays 1 to 7 is won. In the additional drawing in the specialization zone, one AT game number is determined from a plurality of types of AT game numbers including 0 game, based on a drawing probability predetermined for each winning combination. In addition, the part that the winning probability of the internal lottery changes according to the RT state (strong cherry, weak cherry, 7 replay 1 to 7) is the part that the winning probability of the internal lottery does not change according to the RT state (favorable cherry, The expected value of the number of AT games to be granted is higher than that of advantageous weak cherry, middle cherry, advantageous normal replay). Furthermore, in the specialization zone, the expected value of the number of AT games to be awarded is higher than that during AT when the same lottery opportunity (winning combination) is given.

FIG. 11 (f) shows a specialized zone lottery table 6 used in the specialized zone lottery during AT. As shown in FIG. 11 (f), when the specialization zone lottery wins any of the advantageous strong cherries, the advantageous weak cherries, the middle row cherries, the advantageous normal replays, the strong cherries, the weak cherries, and the 7 replays 1 to 7 To be executed. In the special zone lottery, it is determined whether or not to control to the special zone based on the lottery probability predetermined for each winning combination.
Note that the winning probability of the internal lottery changes according to the RT status (strong cherry, weak cherry, 7
Replays 1 to 7) have the same probability as or higher than the probability that the winning probability of the internal lottery does not change according to the RT status (Available cherries, Favorable cherries, Middle cherries, Favorable normal replays) To be elected. When the specialization zone is won, the number of specialization zone games to be granted may be determined by lottery, or the number of specialization zone games to be granted may be determined in advance.

Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the process and lottery related to the bonus winning will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the process and lottery related to the winning of a bonus.

FIG. 12 (a) shows a list of common processing relating to the bonus winning. In the present embodiment, as shown in the column of setting difference in FIG. 8, a bonus without setting difference and a bonus with setting difference are provided. Specifically, bonus 1 and bonus 2 play a role with no difference in setting when winning alone. That is, the bonus 1 of the part number 56 and the bonus 2 of the part number 55 are the parts without the setting difference. On the other hand, when the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 are simultaneously won with the chance, they play the role of setting difference. In other words, the bonus 1 + chance of the role number 50 and the bonus 2 + chance of the role number 49 are the roles with the setting difference. In addition, bonus 3 is a part to win a single winning, but it becomes a part with a set difference only with it. In other words, part number 50
Bonus 3 is a part with a set difference.

Of the number of judgment values assigned to Bonus 1 + chance and Bonus 2 + chance,
A determination value number which does not change according to the set value and a determination value number which changes according to the set value are provided. For example, when a judgment value of 0 to 150 is assigned to bonus 1 + chance, the number of 100 judgment values of 0 to 100 among them is not changed according to the set value, and the remaining 101
The maximum of 50 judgment value numbers of ̃150 may be changed according to the set value. Furthermore, 0 to 100
The number of judgment values of 100 is the number of judgment values assigned to bonus 1 and is 101 to 1.
The 50 maximum of 50 judgment values may be the judgment numbers assigned to the chance. That is, in this case, the bonus 1 is a role with no setting difference, and by simultaneously winning a chance with a role with a setting difference to the bonus 1, a role with a setting difference as a bonus 1 + chance as one role. It may be Note that, since the bonus 3 is a winning combination, the number of determination values of the bonus 3 changes in accordance with the set value.

In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, processing (hereinafter also referred to as common processing) relating to a common instruction function among a plurality of types of bonus is executed according to the following rules.

In the bonus with no setting difference, processing relating to the instruction function may be executed at the start of the bonus (for example, at the bonus winning), during the bonus, and at the end of the bonus. In the bonus with the setting difference, in principle, the processing relating to the instruction function should not be executed at the bonus start, during the bonus, and at the end of the bonus. However, even in the case of a bonus with a setting difference, the common processing may be performed at the start of the bonus or at the end of the bonus as long as the processing (common processing) relates to the instruction function common to the bonus without setting difference. The common processing includes processing relating to the provision of benefits in advantageous sections, such as AT lottery, additional lottery, or specialized zone lottery. In addition, in AT lottery which is a common process, addition lottery, and specialization zone lottery, a common lottery table (a table in which the winning probability of benefit grant is common and a table in which the value of benefit granted is common) is used It must be done. Further, in the present embodiment, the ceiling G number counter is updated in each game in CZ, and the ceiling G number counter has a predetermined value (
For example, every time it reaches 100), a ceiling lottery on whether to shift to AT is executed. The common process includes a process of clearing the ceiling G number counter.

As shown in FIG. 12A, for the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 having no setting difference, when the winning is made during the normal section, the advantageous section winning and the advantageous section sorting lottery are executed as common processing. FIG. 12B shows a table 7 for advantageous section sorting lottery used in the advantageous section sorting lottery during the normal section. As shown in FIG. 12 (b), in the advantageous section sorting lottery, based on a predetermined lottery probability, the type of the advantageous section is determined to be either CZ1 transition after the precursor state or CZ2 transition after the precursor state. Be done. In this example, it is not determined only in the precursor state. That is, when one of the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 with no setting difference is won during the normal section, the CZ1 and CZ2 are controlled with a probability of 100%.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), CZ for bonus 1 and bonus 2 with no setting difference
When the player wins in 1, an AT lottery is executed as a common process. FIG. 12 (c) shows CZ1.
The table 8 for AT lottery used in the AT lottery inside is shown. As shown in FIG. 12C, in the AT lottery in CZ1, the presence or absence of AT winning is determined based on a predetermined lottery probability.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), CZ for bonus 1 and bonus 2 with no setting difference
When one of the bonuses is won during 2), the AT lottery is executed as a common process. FIG. 12D shows an AT lottery table 9 used in the AT lottery in CZ2. As shown in FIG. 12D, in the AT lottery in CZ2, the presence or absence of AT winning is determined based on a predetermined lottery probability. Furthermore, in CZ2, AT winning is performed with a higher probability than in CZ1.

When the AT is won, the number of AT games to be awarded may be determined by lottery, or the number of AT games to be granted may be determined in advance. At this time, when AT is won during CZ2, it is preferable that the expected value of the number of AT games to be awarded is higher than when AT is won during CZ1.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when any bonus is won during AT for bonus 1 and bonus 2 with no setting difference, and bonus 1 + chance, bonus 2 + chance and bonus 3 with setting difference. At the start of the bonus, an additional lottery is executed as a common process. FIG. 12 (e) shows a top lottery table 10 used in the top lottery during AT. As shown in FIG. 12 (e), in the AT additional lottery, one AT is selected from a plurality of AT game numbers including 0 game based on a predetermined lottery probability.
The number of games is determined. In this example, the game is not determined to be 0 game. That is, when any bonus is won during AT, the number of AT games is added with a probability of 100%.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), any bonus is won during the specialization zone for bonus 1 and bonus 2 without setting difference, and bonus 1 + chance, bonus 2 + chance and bonus 3 with setting difference. If it is determined, a bonus lottery is executed as a common process at the start of the bonus. FIG. 12 (f) shows an additional drawing table 11 used in the additional drawing in the specialization zone. As shown in FIG. 12 (f), in the additional drawing in the specialization zone, one AT game number is determined from a plurality of AT game numbers including 0 game based on a predetermined drawing probability. . In this example, the game is not determined to be 0 game. That is, when any bonus is won in the specialization zone, the number of AT games is added with a probability of 100%. Furthermore, in the specialization zone, AT given more than during AT
Expected number of games is high.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when any of the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 with no setting difference is won during the advantageous section, an addition lottery is executed as a common process during the bonus. In the bonus drawing during the bonus, it is determined whether or not the number of AT games is to be added when the winning combination (for example, the bell) is won during the bonus.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when any bonus is won during AT for bonus 1 and bonus 2 with no setting difference, and bonus 1 + chance, bonus 2 + chance and bonus 3 with setting difference. At the end of the bonus, a special zone lottery is executed as a common process. FIGS. 12 (g) and 12 (h) show the special zone lottery tables 12 and 13 used in the special zone lottery during AT. Here, bonus 1 and bonus 1
The special zone lottery table 12 shown in FIG. 12 (g) is also used as the + chance. Further, the special zone drawing table 13 shown in FIG. 12 (h) is used for the bonus 2, the bonus 2 + chance and the bonus 3. As shown in FIGS. 12 (g) and 12 (h), in the specialization zone lottery, whether or not to control to the specialization zone is determined based on a predetermined lottery probability. When you win any of Bonus 2, Bonus 2 + Chance, and Bonus 3 you will win the specialization zone with a higher probability than when you win any of Bonus 1 and Bonus 1 + Chance. . When the specialization zone is won, the number of specialization zone games to be granted may be determined by lottery, or the number of specialization zone games to be granted may be determined in advance.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), any bonus was won during the regular section for bonus 1 and bonus 2 with no setting difference, and bonus 1 + chance, bonus 2 + chance and bonus 3 with setting difference. In this case, the ceiling G number counter is cleared as a common process at the end of the bonus. That is, regardless of whether it is a bonus with no setting difference or a bonus with a setting difference, the ceiling G number counter is cleared as a common process when any bonus ends.

As described above, in the bonus with no setting difference, processing relating to the instruction function is executed at the bonus start, during the bonus, and at the end of the bonus. On the other hand, in the bonus with setting difference, if the processing (common processing) related to the same instruction function as the bonus without setting difference, the common processing is executed at the start of the bonus or at the end of the bonus. It should be noted that while the processing relating to the instruction function is executed during the bonus without setting difference, while the processing relating to the instruction function is not executed during the bonus with setting difference, the effect during the bonus without setting difference, If different from the effect in the bonus with the setting difference, the player can easily understand during the bonus whether the bonus is won with the role without the setting difference or the bonus with the role with the setting difference. For example, a bonus with no setting difference may be referred to as a special bonus, and a bonus with a setting difference may be referred to as a normal bonus, and an effect in a bonus without setting difference may be more flashy than an effect in a bonus with setting difference.

[Various processing]
Various processes mainly executed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 27.

(Common start processing)
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the common start process. The main control unit 41 executes the common start process when the start switch 7 is operated with the number of bets set.
As shown in FIG. 13, first, the main control section 41 determines whether or not the in-advantage zone flag = ON (S10). The in-advantage-zone flag is data indicating that the advantageous interval is in progress, and is set in an advantageous-interval winning process shown in FIG. 19 described later.

When the flag of the advantageous section is not ON (NO in S10), the main control section 41 determines whether or not the lottery type 1> 0 (S21). The lottery type 1 is an advantage section transition role (bonus 1
, 2, advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle row cherries, advantageous normal replays) is a data area in which winning information is stored.

Specifically, as shown by * marks in FIG. 8 and FIG. 13, to each lottery target role, a role number capable of identifying the type of each role is assigned. The combination number is an advantageous section transition combination, a combination where the number of determination values does not change according to the RT state (a combination where the winning probability does not change), or a combination where the number of determination values changes according to the RT status (a combination of winning probability changes) In the order of, large numbers are assigned. In addition, on the premise of this rule, a large number is assigned in the order of special role, minor role, and re-play role. In the present embodiment, Bonus 1 and 2 which is an advantageous section transition part and a special part, advantageous strong cherries and advantageous weak cherries which are an advantageous section transition part and a replay part,
Part numbers are assigned, such as bonus 1 + chance, bonus 2 + chance, bonus 3 which is a special part that is not a transition part of the middle section cherry, advantageous normal replay, or advantageous interval but the number of judgment values does not change according to the RT status. .

The main control unit 41 sets a bit of lottery type 1 if the combination number elected in the internal lottery is the number 51 or more allocated to the advantageous section transition combination. In this manner, the main control unit 41 stores only the winning information of the advantageous section shift combination in the lottery type 1. Then, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section transition winning combination has been won by determining whether or not a bit is set in the data included in the lottery type 1 in the process of S21.

As described above, the role serving as the trigger for setting the bit in the lottery type 1 is limited to the advantageous section transition role. For this reason, the main control unit 41 can determine whether to shift to the advantageous section only by referring to the data included in the lottery type 1. As a result, it is possible to centrally manage the data area used when deciding whether to shift to the advantageous section.

When the lottery type 1> 0 (YES in S21), the main control unit 41 executes an advantageous section winning time process (S22), and shifts to the process of S19. The process of winning the advantageous section will be described later with reference to FIG. If the main control unit 41 is not lottery type 1> 0 (NO in S21)
, Shift to the process of S19.

When the flag in the advantageous section = ON (YES in S10), the main control section 41 adds 1 to the advantageous section G number counter (S11). Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section G number counter 1500 1500 (S12). When the advantageous section G number counter 1500 1500 (YES in S12), the main control section 41 sets the advantageous section end flag to ON (
S13). The advantageous section end flag is data indicating the end of the advantageous section. Main control unit 4
If 1 is not the advantageous section G number counter 1500 1500 (NO in S12), or after the process of S13, it is determined whether or not a bonus is in progress (S14).

When the bonus is not in progress (NO in S14), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the bonus is in progress (S15). When the main control unit 41 is not inside (NO in S15), the data indicating the main state is set to the main state next time (S16). The main state is a state controlled by the main control unit 41, and is a state other than the gaming state (RT state). Specifically, the main state includes a normal section, a precursor state, CZ1, CZ2, ART preparation in progress, ART, specialization zone preparation in progress, specialization zone, and ending state. The main control unit 41 sets one of these states as the main state.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not lottery type 1 = bonus 1 or bonus 2 (S17). If the lottery type 1 = bonus 1 or bonus 2 (YES in S17), that is, if the bonus 1 or bonus 2 is won, the main control unit 41 executes the return destination setting process (S18), and the process of S19. Migrate to The return destination setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

The main control unit 41 adds 1 to the ending state counter (S17a) when the lottery type 1 is not the bonus (NO in S17). The ending state counter is a counter for determining whether or not to control to the ending state, and is counted in a game which is not inside and is not yet in the ending state during the advantageous section. The ending state is
It is determined that the control to the advantageous section is continued until the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games. In the present embodiment, it is controlled to be in the ending state on condition that the sum value of the value of the ending state counter and the number of advantageous remaining G has reached 1000. When being controlled to the ending state, the subtraction of the advantageous residual G number is not performed (specifically, FIG. 14 described later).
In S40, the process of S43 is not performed because it is determined YES), and the advantageous section G number counter is incremented by 1 in the process of S11 of FIG. 13 performed for each game. Therefore, it is determined that control to the advantageous section continues until the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 games. That is, substantially 500 games are given as the number of games in the advantageous section until the advantageous section G reaches 1,500.

After adding 1 to the ending state counter, the main control unit 41 executes an ending state determination process (S17 b), and shifts to the process of S19. The ending state determination process is
This will be described later with reference to FIG.

The main control unit 41 executes start processing of each main state (S19). The start process of each main state will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, the main control unit 41 executes navigation processing (S20). The navigation processing will be described later with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 ends the common start process.

In the process of S14, when the main control unit 41 is in a bonus (YES in S14)
), End common start processing. Further, in the process of S15, the main control unit 41
If it is inside (YES in S15), the common start process is ended. As described above, since the process of S17a and the process of S19 are skipped and not executed during the bonus or inside, the ending state counter is also added, as described later with reference to FIG.
The advantage residual G number counter is not decremented by three. On the other hand, the number G of advantageous sections is added in the process of S11 prior to the processes of S14 and S15. For this reason, the number G of advantageous sections is added during any of the bonus sections and in the inside of the bonus.

(Start process of each main state)
FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining start processing of each main state. As shown in FIG. 14, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state = the normal section or the ending state (S40). When the main state = the normal section or the ending state (YES in S40), the main control unit 41 ends the start processing of each main state. As described above, when the main state is the ending state, any process included in the start process of each main state is not executed. Therefore, when the main state is the ending state, the subtraction of the advantage remaining G number counter (processing of S43) as described below is not performed.

On the other hand, when the main state = the normal section or the main state = the ending state is not (NO in S40), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not return waiting information = 0 (S41).
The return wait information is information of symbol combination that triggers the start of the next main state set after the end of the bonus, and is set in the bonus start common process shown in FIG. 21 described later.

If the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S41), the main control unit 41 sets the main state =
It is determined whether a specialization zone is being prepared (S42). When the main state = specialized zone preparation is in progress (YES in S42), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S43a. on the other hand,
When the main state = specialized zone preparation is not in progress (NO in S42), the main control unit 41 subtracts one from the advantage remaining G number counter in the advantageous section under control (S43). For example, if it is in CZ, 1 is subtracted from the number of remaining G of CZ. Further, when AT is in progress, the advantageous G number of AT is subtracted by 1, and when it is in the specialization zone, the advantageous G number of specialization zone is decremented by 1.

Note that, as a modification, in the case where a warning period of a predetermined number of games is provided before shifting to the specialization zone in the AT, the specialization zone is added in addition to the subtraction of the AT's advantageous remaining G number. You may subtract the advantage residual G number of the precursor period before transfering to. That is, when configured in this way, one kind of number of games to be subtracted in S43, such as CZ, among the advantageous sections
If it is CZ's remaining advantage G number), the kind of number of games to be subtracted in S43 is 2 like AT.
There may be provided cases where there is a type (the number of advantageous G of AT and the number of advantageous G of the precursor period to the specialization zone).

If the return waiting information is not 0 (NO in S41), or after the process of S43, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is an addition of the number G of advantageous residuals (S43a). That is, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is an increase in the number of AT games due to a winning by a lottery relating to an instruction function including a ceiling lottery. When the main control unit 41 adds the number G of remaining advantages (S43
(a) (YES in a) adds the addition value to the number G of remaining advantages (S 43 b) After that, the main control unit 41
Executes the ending state determination process (S43c), and proceeds to the process of S44.

On the other hand, when there is no addition of the number G of advantageous residuals (NO in S43a), or after the process of S43c, the main control unit 41 determines whether the main state has been promoted by lottery relating to the instruction function (S44) . For example, in the case of CZ1 or CZ2, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT is won. Furthermore, in the case of the AT, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the specialization zone has been won.

When the main control unit 41 has won the lottery relating to the instruction function (YES in S44), the main control unit 41 sets the main state next time (S45). For example, when the right of AT is granted during CZ, the main control unit 41 sets the next main state during AT preparation. Also, the main control unit 41
If the special zone right is granted during AT, the next main state is set during special zone preparation. On the other hand, when the main control section 41 does not win the lottery relating to the instruction function (NO in S44), the main control section 41 determines whether or not the number G of advantages G is 0 for the advantageous section under control (S46)
.

When the main control unit 41 determines that the number of remaining advantageous G = 0 for the advantageous section under control (S46)
Yes), the normal section return time process is executed (S47). The normal section return process is shown in FIG.
It mentions later, referring to. On the other hand, the main control unit 41 ends the start processing of each main state when the number of remaining advantageous Gs is not 0 for the advantageous section under control (NO in S46) or after the processing of S45 and S47.

(Navi processing)
FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the navigation processing. As shown in FIG. 15, first, the main control section 41 determines whether or not the in-advantage zone flag = ON (S51). When the flag of the advantageous section is not ON (NO in S51), the main control section 41 ends the navigation processing.

On the other hand, when the main control section 41 is in the advantageous section flag = ON (YES in S51),
It is determined whether or not the winning combination has been won (S52). When the main control unit 41 does not win the winning combination (NO in S52), the main control unit 41 ends the navigation processing.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 has won the winning order (YES in S52), navigation control is performed (S53). Here, the main control unit 41 makes navigation control different according to the gaming state and the type of the advantageous section provided at that time. Specifically, in the case of RT0 after a bonus, the main control unit 41 notifies navigation information at the time of the first push order bell winning when the CZ right is granted, and the first when the AT right is granted The navigation information is notified when the subsequent push bell is selected without notifying the navigation information when the push bell is won.

By making navigation control different in this way, the following game characteristics are obtained. That is, as described above, the direct hit replay that can be won only at RT0 after the bonus is the lottery trigger role of the lottery relating to the instruction function. If the player wins a direct replay when the CZ right is granted, the AT game is awarded with a probability of 100%, so the player can replay the direct replay before moving to RT1 by displaying a special view at RT0. Expect to be elected. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the right of CZ is granted at RT0, the display of the special view is avoided by notifying the navigation information at the time of the first push order bell winning, and the gaming state is RT0 by that amount. Keep it on. As a result, when the right of CZ is granted at RT0, it is possible for the player to expect the AT game to be awarded by the direct hit replay winning.

On the other hand, when the right of AT is granted in RT0, it is controlled by ART via RT2 which is in preparation for ART. For this reason, if the replay winning probability RT0 is low for a long time, the amount of medal consumption increases accordingly. Therefore, in the present embodiment, R is
When the AT right is granted at T0, the special view is displayed by not notifying the navigation information at the time of the first push order bell, and the gaming state is shifted to RT2. Then, after that, by displaying the navigation information at the time of the push order bell winning, the display of the special view is avoided. Thus, when the right of AT is granted at RT0, the amount of medal consumption can be reduced while A
It can be controlled by RT.

Further, in the case of a gaming state other than RT0, the main control unit 41 notifies the navigation information at the time of the first push order bell winning, regardless of whether the right of CZ or AT is granted.
Thereby, it is possible to avoid the display of the special figure when the push order bell is won, and the consumption of medals can be suppressed.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the pushing order bell has been won (S54). When the main control unit 41 has not won the push order bell (NO in S54), the main control unit 41 ends the navigation processing. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 has won the pushing order bell (YES in S54), the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF (S55). The advantageous section navigation wait flag is a winning combination in which the maximum number of payouts can be obtained during the advantageous section (in the present embodiment, the bell that is the main player)
19 is data indicating whether or not the navigation in which the event occurs is performed at least once, and will be described later with reference to FIG.
It is set in the advantageous section winning process shown in FIG. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the navigation processing.

(Common third release process)
FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the common third separation process. After rotation of the reels, the main control unit 41 stops the third reel by the operation of the stop switch (third stop), and executes the common third separation processing when the operation of the stop switch is released. As shown in FIG. 16, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a bonus is being made (S61).

If a bonus is being made (YES in S61), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S67. On the other hand, when the bonus is not in progress (NO in S61), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the bonus is in progress (S62). If the main control unit 41 is inside (Y in S62
S) Set an internal flag (S63), and shift to processing of S67.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not inside (NO in S62), the flag of the advantageous section =
It is determined whether it is ON (S64). The main control unit 41 sets the flag in the advantageous section = ON.
If not (NO in S64), the process proceeds to S67. On the other hand, main control section 41 executes display symbol determination processing (S64: YES) when the flag in the advantageous section is ON (YES in S64).
65). The display symbol determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Thereafter, the main control unit 41 executes return waiting determination processing (S66). The return wait determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. The main control unit 41 executes the third separation process of each main state (S67). The third separation processing of each main state will be described later with reference to FIG. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the common third separation process.

(3rd release process of each main state)
FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the third separation processing in each main state. As shown in FIG. 17, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state = the normal section or the main state = the ending state (S70). If the main control unit 41 determines that the main state = the normal section or the main state = the ending state (YES in S70), the third control state of each main state is obtained.
End the release process. As described above, when the main state is in the ending state, any process included in the third separation process of each main state is not executed.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not the main state = the normal section or the main state = the ending state (NO in S70), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the navigation ignore flag = ON (S71).
). The navigation ignore flag is data indicating that the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are not operated according to the navigation information despite the navigation information notified by the main control unit 41 by navigation notification, and will be described later. It is set in the display symbol determination process shown in FIG.

If the navigation ignore flag is not ON (NO in S71), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state in control = ART preparation is in progress (S72). When the main state = ART preparation is in progress (YES in S72), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not an RT3 transition message is displayed (S73). When the main control unit 41 displays the RT3 transition message (S7)
3) and the process proceeds to S76. On the other hand, when the transition to RT3 is not displayed (NO in S73), the main control unit 41 ends the third separation processing of each main state.

If the main state = ART preparation is not in progress (NO in S72), the main control unit 41 determines whether main state in control = specialization zone preparation in progress (S74). Main control unit 41
If the main state = specialized zone preparation is in progress (YES in S74), it is determined whether the RT4 migration message is displayed (S75). When the RT4 transition message is displayed (YES in S75), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S76. On the other hand, the main control unit 41 is an RT.
When the fourth transition message is not displayed (NO in S75), the third separation process of each main state is ended.

On the other hand, when the navigation ignore flag = ON (YES in S71), the main control unit 41 performs S
Transfer to processing of 76. The main control unit 41 sets the main state next time (S76). For example, when the current main state is in preparation for ART, the main control unit 41 sets the main state from the next game to ART. Thereby, the subtraction of the AT remaining G number is started from the next game. In addition, when the current main state is in preparation for the specialization zone, the main control unit 41 sets the main state from the next game as the specialization zone. Thereby, from the next game, subtraction of the number G of remaining advantages in the specialization zone is started.

(Game end processing)
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the game end process. The main control unit 41 executes a game end process when one game is ended. First, as shown in FIG. 18, the main control unit 4
1 executes an advantageous section end determination process (S81). The advantageous section end determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section end flag = ON (S8).
2). When the advantageous section end flag = ON (YES in S82), the main control section 41
Clear all the popped ball work (S83). In this process, the main control unit 41 clears the flag related to the advantageous section. For example, the main control unit 41 sets the flag during the advantageous section = O.
Make it an FF. When the advantageous section end flag is not ON (NO in S82).
) Or after the processing of S83, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section flag is ON (S84).
).

When the in-advantage-zone flag = ON (YES in S84), the main control unit 41 executes lighting processing of the advantageous-zone lamp 19 (S85). Specifically, the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous zone lamp data for controlling the lighting or extinguishing of the advantageous zone lamp 19 to ON. By setting the advantageous section lamp data to ON, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on.

On the other hand, when the in-advantage-zone flag is not ON (NO in S84), the main control unit 41 executes a process of turning off the advantageous-zone lamp 19 (S86). Specifically, the main control unit 41
Set the advantageous section ramp data to OFF. By setting the advantageous section lamp data to OFF, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. The main control unit 41 performs the process of S85 or S8.
After the processing of 6, the game end processing ends.

(Process when winning the advantageous section)
FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining an advantageous interval winning process. As shown in FIG. 19, first, the main control section 41 sets the in-advantage zone flag = ON, and sets the advantageous section navigation wait flag = ON (S101).

Next, the main control unit 41 performs an advantageous section sorting lottery (S102). In this process, the main control unit 41 performs only the precursor state, CZ1 transition after the precursor state, and C after the precursor state.
One of the Z2 transitions is determined by lottery. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 performs a game number lottery (S103). In this process, the main control unit 41 randomly determines the number of games to be controlled to the advantageous section of the type determined in the process of S102 (S103).

Next, the main control unit 41 sets the next main state to an advantageous section of the type determined in the process of S102 (S104). Thereby, the next game is controlled to the advantageous section of the type determined in the process of S102. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section winning process.

(Return destination setting process)
FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining return destination setting processing. As shown in FIG. 20, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether the main state is a normal section or a precursor state (S1).
21).

When the main state is a normal section or a precursor state (Y in S121)
(ES), the return destination main state is set to CZ1 (S122), and the return destination setting process is ended.
The return destination main state is the main state at RT0 after the end of the bonus. That is, when the main state in the game in which the bonus 1 or the bonus 2 is won is the normal section or the prognostic state, the main control unit 41 grants the right of CZ1 triggered by the bonus winning, and the main state after the bonus ends Set to

On the other hand, when the main state is not a normal section or a precursor state (S12)
It is determined whether the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (S123). If the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (YES in S123), the main control unit 41
The return destination main state is set during ART preparation (S124), and the return destination setting process is ended. That is, when the main state in the game in which the bonus 1 or the bonus 2 is won is CZ1 or CZ2, the main control unit 41 grants the right of AT at the opportunity of the bonus winning, and the main state after the bonus is in preparation for ART. Set to

On the other hand, when the main state is not CZ1 or CZ2 (NO in S123), that is, the main state is ART preparation, ART, specialization zone preparation, specialization zone, etc.
Or if it is in the ending state, the return destination main state is set to the main state (S12
5). That is, when the main state in the game winning the bonus 1 or bonus 2 is ART preparation, ART, specialization zone preparation, specialization zone, or ending state, the main control unit 41 determines the main state after the bonus ends. Set to the same as the current state. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the return destination setting process.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the return destination main state after the end of the bonus is set according to the main state in the bonus winning game. Then, during the bonus, a lottery relating to the instruction function is performed according to the type of the set return destination main state. For example, when winning a lottery trigger role such as advantageous weak cherry during a bonus, if the return destination main state is CZ1, it is determined whether or not to grant the right to control to AT by return, the return destination main state If is an ART, it is randomly determined whether to grant the right to control the specialized zone. In the lottery relating to the instruction function, although the lottery is performed, 100% of the right to control the AT or the specialization zone may be determined. Alternatively, 100% of the right to control the AT or the special zone may be granted by winning the lottery trigger without performing the lottery itself.

(Bonus start common processing)
FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the bonus start common process. The main control unit 41 executes the bonus start common process after executing the common third release process in the bonus winning game. As shown in FIG. 21, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not return waiting information = 0 (S131). If the main control unit 41 does not have return waiting information = 0 (
The bonus start common process is ended (NO in S131).

On the other hand, when the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S131), the main control unit 41 determines whether the next main state is CZ1 (S132). The next main state at this time corresponds to the return destination main state set by the return destination setting process shown in FIG. For example, if the return destination main state = CZ1, the next main state = CZ1. If the return main state = ART preparation in progress or ART, the next main state = ART. If the return destination main state = specialization zone in preparation or specialization zone, next main state = specialization zone. If the return destination main state = ending state, the next main state = ending state. If the main control unit 41 next time the main state is CZ1 (YES in S132)
The return waiting information is set to the special view display waiting (S133), and the bonus start common processing is ended.

For example, as shown in FIG. 20, when the main state is a normal section or a warning state when the bonus is won, as shown in FIG. 20, the return main state after the end of the bonus is CZ1.
Set to In this case, the main control unit 41 controls CZ1 during a bonus, but does not subtract the number of remaining G of CZ1. Then, the main control unit 41 sets the R after the bonus ends.
Only at T0, the special figure is displayed and subtraction of the CZ1 residual G number starts only when it shifts to RT1.

On the other hand, when the next main state is not CZ1 (NO in S132), the main control unit 41
It is determined whether the next main state is ART (S134). When the next main state is ART (YES in S134), the main control unit 41 sets return waiting information to RT3 shift display display wait (S135), and ends the bonus start common processing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 20, when the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 when the bonus is won, as shown in FIG. 20, the main control portion 41 sets a return main state after the end of the bonus during ART preparation. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the AT during the bonus, but does not subtract the AT's remaining G number. Then, the main control unit 41 performs RT after the bonus ends.
In 0, the navigation notification is not performed when the push order bell is won until the special view is displayed, and the special view is displayed and the navigation is notified when the inset replay is selected after shifting to RT1. After that, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated according to the navigation and the RT3 transition message is displayed and the game state shifts to RT3, the subtraction of the AT's remaining advantage G number is started for the first time.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not ART next time (S134: NO),
It is determined whether the next main state is a specialization zone (S136). When the next main state is the specialization zone (YES in S136), the main control unit 41 RT4 the return waiting information
The transition ripple display is set to await (S137), and the bonus start common processing is ended.

For example, as shown in FIG. 20, when the main state is in preparation for the specialization zone when the bonus is won, the main control unit 41 sets a return main state after completion of the bonus during the specialization zone preparation. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the specialization zone during the bonus, but does not subtract the number G of remaining advantages of the specialization zone. Then, the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification at the time of winning the push order bell until the special figure is displayed in RT0 after the end of the bonus, and the special figure is displayed and the process shifts to RT1 and the inrush replay is won. We will notify you of the navigation. After that, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated according to the navigation and the RT4 transition message is displayed and the game state shifts to RT4, the subtraction of the number G of advantages remaining G of the specialization zone is started for the first time. Thus, in the return destination main state set in S122, S124, and S125 of FIG. 20, the subtraction of the advantage remaining G number is started when the display result set as return waiting information is derived after the end of the bonus. State to shift to the

Next, the main control unit 41 sets return waiting information = 0 (S199), and ends the display symbol determination process.

When the navigation ignore flag is set to ON, as described above, YES is determined in S71 of FIG. 17, and the main state is updated next time. When return waiting information is set to 0, as described above, YES is determined in S41 of FIG. In addition, since the main condition is set to the specialization zone next time when the navigation neglect flag is set to ON during preparation of the specialization zone, the number of the advantageous sections G is determined in S43 because S42 of FIG. 14 is determined as NO. Will be subtracted.

(Return wait judgment processing)
FIG. 25 is a diagram for explaining a return waiting determination process. First, as shown in FIG.
The main control unit 41 determines whether or not return waiting information = 0 (S221). If the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S221), the main control unit 41 ends the return waiting determination process.

On the other hand, when the return waiting information = 0 is not satisfied (NO in S221), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the return waiting information = special map display waiting (S222). The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the special view is displayed (S223) when the return waiting information = the special view display waiting (YES in S222). If the main control unit 41 does not display the special view (N in S223
O), the return waiting determination process is ended.

On the other hand, when the special view is displayed (YES in S223), the main control unit 41 sets return waiting information = 0 (S228), and ends the return waiting determination process.

If the return waiting information = the special map display waiting (NO in S222), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the return waiting information = RT3 shift display waiting is in progress (S224). When the main control unit 41 waits for return waiting information = RT3 transition ripple display (YES in S224), R
It is determined whether a T3 transition message has been displayed (S225). The main control unit 41 controls the RT3.

(Ending judgment processing)
FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining the ending state determination process. As shown in FIG. 26, first, the main control section 41 determines whether or not the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G is 1000 or more (S251). The main control unit 41 ends the ending state determination process if the ending state counter + the number of remaining available Gs ≧ 1000 (NO in S251). On the other hand, the main control unit 41 sets the ending state counter + the remaining advantage G
If the number is greater than or equal to 1000 (YES in S251), the main state is set to the ending state next time (S252), and the ending state determination process is ended.

(Setting change process)
FIG. 27 is a diagram for describing setting change processing. The main control unit 41 executes setting change processing when the setting key switch is set to ON while the power of the slot machine 1 is OFF and the power of the slot machine 1 is switched from OFF to ON. As shown in FIG. 27, first, the main control unit 41 transmits, to the sub control unit 91, a setting start command capable of specifying transition to the setting change state (S271). After that, the main control unit 4
The state 1 is shifted to the setting change state (S272).

Next, the main control unit 41 executes an initialization process (S273). Specifically, the main control unit 41 clears RT information capable of specifying the RT state under control, bonus information capable of specifying that the bonus is controlled, and the like. The main control unit 41 reads the current setting value from the RAM 41c, and displays the read setting value as a display value on a setting value display (not shown) (S274).

The main control unit 41 determines whether the setting switch has been operated by the store clerk (S2
75). When the setting switch is operated within the predetermined period (YES in S275), the main control unit 41 updates the display value by 1 (S276), and displays the updated display value on the setting value display ((S276)
S274).

On the other hand, when the setting switch has not been operated within the predetermined period (S2)
It is determined whether the start switch 7 has been operated (S277). When the start switch 7 is not operated within the predetermined period (N in S277)
O), return to the processing of S275.

On the other hand, when the start switch 7 is operated within the predetermined period (S2
YES at 77), the display value displayed on the setting value display is stored as a setting value in the RAM 41c (S278).

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether the setting key switch is in the OFF state (see FIG.
S279). When the setting key switch 37 is not in the OFF state (S2
The process of S279 is performed again (NO in 79).

On the other hand, when the setting key switch 37 is in the OFF state (S279)
YES), the process for turning off the advantageous section lamp 19 is executed (S280). Specifically, the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous section lamp data to OFF, thereby the advantageous section lamp 19
Turn off the light. The turn-off process of the advantageous zone lamp 19 executed in S280 is the same as the turn-off process (S86) of the advantageous zone lamp 19 in the game end process shown in FIG.

Next, the main control unit 41 transmits a setting end command capable of specifying that the setting change state is ended to the sub control unit 91 (S281). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 ends the setting change state (S282), and ends the setting change process.

As described above, the main control unit 41 controls the progress of the game by executing the various processes illustrated in FIG. 13 to FIG.

[Timing chart when the number of advantageous section G reaches 1500 games]
The timing of various processes when the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1500 games will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 to 31.

(When non-bonus, non-internal, and ending state the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1,500 games)
FIG. 28 (a) shows that during the non-bonus, the non-internal and the ending state, the number G of advantageous sections is 1
It is a figure which shows the timing chart at the time of reaching 500 games. As shown in FIG. 28A, in this timing chart, in order from the top, a line indicating the type of gaming section under control, a line indicating the presence / absence of lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19, and background rendering in progress A line indicating the type, a line indicating the presence or absence of bonus winning, a line indicating the presence or absence of notification of bonus hit and bonus winning, a line indicating the presence or absence of inside and bonus, and a line indicating the presence or absence of freeze including. These lines shown in the timing chart are common to FIGS. 28 (b), 31 (c) and 31 (d) described later.

Before the timing t1, it is controlled to the advantageous section. During the advantageous section, background rendering for the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light. When a bonus is won at timing t1 in the non-ending state, timing t2
From time t2 to timing t3, notification of bonus hit and bonus win is performed.
For example, an image of battle effects between characters is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a character image of "WIN" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a result of battle effects. In this example,
Although the notification of the bonus win and the bonus win are notified over a plurality of games, the bonus win may be completed in the game.

In the bonus winning game, when the bonus winning is missed, the gaming state is controlled from the next game to the inside. If a symbol combination of bonus can be derived inside, a bonus winning will occur. In this example, the bonus is won at timing t4, and thereafter, the gaming state is controlled to bonus until timing t5. During the bonus, the bonus lamp 60 is turned on.

Thereafter, when the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G reaches 1000 at timing t6, which is the non-ending state, the main state is controlled to the ending state.

FIG. 29A is a diagram for explaining an example of the ending state. As shown in FIG. 29A, in the ending state, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an ending screen. On the ending screen, area 5 showing the current number of medals paid out during the advantageous section
An area 51e indicating the number of remaining games until the end of the advantageous section, and an area 51f indicating navigation information are included as templates. Further, the center of the ending screen includes an area 51g for displaying an effect image indicating that the camera is in the ending state. For example, in a region 51g at the center of the ending screen, an image in which a confetti dances is displayed. In the ending state, the screen state as shown in FIG. 29 (a) is continued, and no effect is performed on the screen even when a bonus is won or a rare role such as cherry is won. Note that navigation information is notified by performing navigation only in the advantageous section.

Here, with reference to FIG. 30, an example of effects when the main state is controlled to the ending state when the sum value of the value of the ending state counter and the number of advantageous remaining G reaches 1000 will be described. FIG. 30 is a diagram for describing an example of effects when entering from an ART in a normal state to an ART in an ending state.

As shown in FIG. 30A, in the ART in the normal state, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 is
An area 51d indicating the current number of medals paid out during the advantageous section, an area 51e indicating the number of remaining games until the advantageous section ends, and an area 51f indicating navigation information are included as templates. Further, an area 51g for displaying an effect image indicating that the ART is in a normal state is included in the center of the screen. In the ART in the normal state, the advantageous residual G number is indicated in the area 51e. In this example, since the remaining number of AT games assigned is 300 games, a character image of "300 G" is displayed in the area 51e as the number G of advantageous residuals. The number displayed in the area 51 e in the normal state ART is the number G of advantageous remaining G, and therefore, it is not subtracted during the inside or the bonus. In this example, the value of the ending state counter is 690 at this point.
Since it is counted up, the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantage G is 990.

Here, it is assumed that there is an addition of 10 games in the addition lottery during AT. Figure 30 (
When the third stop operation is performed on the stop switch in the state a), as shown in FIG. 30 (b), an image (image “+10”) suggesting the addition of 10 games is displayed in the area 51g. Ru.

And as shown in FIG.30 (c), the character image of "310 G" is displayed on the area | region 51e as a number G of advantageous remaining G after 10 games are added. By adding the number of AT games, the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantage G reaches 1000. At this time, an image (image of “PUSH”) prompting the operation of the effect switch 56 is displayed in the area 51 g.

When the effect switch 56 is operated in the state of FIG. 30 (c), an effect indicating that the end state is entered is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 30 (d), a freeze is performed to delay activation of the start operation or BET operation to start the next game, and an image indicating that the end state is entered (in this example, An image of “ending rush” and a character image are displayed in the area 51g. Note that the effect that suggests entering into the ending state is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 30D, and so-called blackout effect may be performed in which the entire screen is darkened for a predetermined period.

When entering the ending state, the advantage remaining G number counter is not decremented and 1500
The advantageous section G number counter is incremented by one each time the game starts until it reaches. For this reason, the number of AT games is substantially added to 500 games. As shown in FIG. 30E, an image (image of “+500”) indicating that the number of AT games has been increased by 500 is displayed in the area 51g.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 30F, an image (image in which a confetti dances) indicating that the camera is in the ending state is displayed in the area 51g. Furthermore, the character image of "810 G" after 500 games have been added as the advantageous remaining G number is displayed in the area 51e. The number displayed in the area 51e in the ART in the ending state is 1500 G for the advantageous section G number counter.
Since it is the number of remaining games until reaching, the game is subtracted each time it starts. That is, in the ending state, the number displayed in the area 51e is always subtracted each time the game starts until the advantageous section G number counter reaches 1500 G, and it is assumed that the inside or the bonus state is reached. There is no change in the effect screen.

Referring back to FIG. 28A, when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1,500 games at timing t7 in the ending state, the advantageous sections shift to the normal sections. Accordingly, the background rendering for the advantageous section is switched to the background rendering for the normal section, and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off.

Also, in this example, the number G of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games in non-bonus, non-inner, and ending states. In this case, the freeze is executed at timing t7 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games, and the result screen indicating the notification of the result of the game during the advantageous sections is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Here, FIG. 29B is a view for explaining the result screen when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 games in the non-bonus, the non-inner, and the ending states. In this example, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out in the advantageous section. Figure 29 (b)
As shown in the figure, on the result screen, there are an area 51a showing the result characters, an area 51b showing the final number of medals paid out during the advantageous section, and an area 51c showing the number of digested games in the advantageous section. , Included as a template. In the result screen when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games during non-bonus, images are displayed in all of the area 51a, the area 51b, and the area 51c. For example, the character image of "RESULT" is displayed in the area 51a, the character image of "1700 sheets" is displayed in the area 51b, and the character image of "1500 game" is displayed in the area 51c.

Thus, during the non-bonus, the non-internal, and the ending state, the number G of advantageous sections is 150.
When 0 game is reached, the result screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that timing.

(When in the bonus and in the ending state the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1500 games)
FIG. 28 (b) is a diagram showing a timing chart when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 in the bonus state and in the ending state.

Before the timing t11, it is controlled to the advantageous section. During the advantageous section, background rendering for the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light.
When the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G reaches 1000 at timing t11 in the non-ending state, the main state is controlled to the ending state. The ending screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the ending state is
It is as having shown in Drawing 29 (a).

In this example, a bonus is won at timing t12 in the ending state.
However, since the game is already controlled to the ending state, the round of the bonus winning and notification of the bonus winning are not performed, and the screen of the ending state shown in FIG. 29A is maintained.

In the bonus winning game, when the winning of the bonus is missed, the gaming state is controlled internally from the timing t13 of the next game. If a symbol combination of bonus can be derived inside, a bonus winning will occur. In this example, since the bonus is won at timing t14, the gaming state is thereafter controlled to bonus until timing t16. Note that in the ending state, since the notification of the bonus winning and the bonus winning is not performed, there is a possibility that the player can not recognize that the bonus has been won. Therefore, for example, in the ending state, the internal state is for a predetermined period (for example, 10).
When the game is over, a bonus may be notified, or the type of bonus being won or the symbol combination thereof may be notified.

Here, when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1500 games at timing t15 during bonus,
Transfer from the advantageous section to the normal section. However, since the ending state is already controlled, the screen in the ending state shown in FIG. 29A is maintained without switching to background effect for the normal section. However, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off.

Further, in this example, the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 games during the bonus and in the ending state. In this case, the freeze is not executed at the timing t15 when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games, and the result screen is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. After waiting for timing t16 when the bonus ends, the freeze is executed and the result screen is displayed.

Here, FIG. 29 (c) shows that the number of advantageous sections G is 1,500 in the bonus state and in the ending state.
It is a figure for demonstrating the result screen at the time of reaching a game. In this example, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out in the advantageous section and 174 medals are paid out at timings t15 to t16 in the bonus after the advantageous section ends. Furthermore, at timing timing t15 to t16, it is assumed that a bonus is performed over 20 games. As shown in FIG. 29C, in the result screen, "RESULT" is displayed in the area 51a.
The character image of “1874” is displayed in the area 51 b. On the other hand, the area 51c used in FIG. 29 (b) is not used, and no character image is displayed in that area.

As described above, when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games in the bonus and in the ending state, the result screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the timing when the bonus ends.
Further, the result screen in this case is different from the example shown in FIG. 28A, and a character image indicating the number of digested games (1500 games) in the advantageous section is not displayed, and either the advantageous section or the bonus is displayed. A character image indicating the number of combined games (1520 games) controlled by is also not displayed.

(When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games in the inside and in the ending state)
FIG. 31C is a diagram showing a timing chart in the case where the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1,500 games in the inside and in the ending state.

Before the timing t21, it is controlled to the advantageous section. During the advantageous section, background rendering for the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light.
When the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G reaches 1000 at timing t21 in the non-ending state, the main state is controlled to the ending state. The ending screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in the ending state is
It is as having shown in Drawing 29 (a).

In this example, a bonus is won at timing t22 in the ending state.
However, since the game is already controlled to the ending state, the round of the bonus winning and notification of the bonus winning are not performed, and the screen of the ending state shown in FIG. 29A is maintained.

In the bonus winning game, when the bonus winning is missed, the gaming state is controlled internally from timing t23 when the next game is to be played. If a symbol combination of bonus can be derived inside, a bonus winning will occur. In this example, since the bonus is won at timing t25, thereafter, the gaming state is controlled to bonus until timing t26. In addition, when the state in the inside in the ending state has passed for a predetermined period (for example, 10 games), it is possible to notify bonus winning or to notify the type of bonus being won and the symbol combination thereof.

Here, when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1,500 games at timing t24 in the inside, the transition from the advantageous sections to the normal sections is made. However, since the ending state is already controlled, the screen in the ending state shown in FIG. 29A is maintained without switching to background effect for the normal section. However, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. In addition, the number of advantageous sections G is 1 inside
If it is after reaching 500 games, even in the ending state, it may be notified of a bonus winning, or may be notified of the type of bonus being won and its symbol combination.

Moreover, in this example, the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1,500 games in the inside and in the ending state. In this case, freezing is not executed at timing t24 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, and the result screen is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. After waiting for timing t26 when the bonus ends, the freeze is executed and the result screen is displayed. In this case, the result screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is the same as that shown in FIG. 29C, and a character image of “RESULT” is displayed in the area 51a, and an area 51b is displayed during the advantageous section. A character image is displayed showing a total value of the number of medals paid out and the number of medals paid out after the end of the advantageous section until the bonus is ended. On the other hand, the region 51c used in FIG. 29 (b) is not used.
No text image is displayed in that area.

As described above, when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games in the internal state and in the ending state, the result screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the timing when the bonus ends. Moreover, the result screen in this case is different from the example shown in FIG.
A character image indicating 1500 games is not displayed, and further, a character image indicating the number of combined games controlled to be in any of the advantageous section and the bonus is not displayed.

(When the number of G sections has reached 1500 games in the internal and non-ending state)
FIG. 31D is a diagram showing a timing chart in the case where the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1,500 games in the inside and in the non-ending state.

Before the timing t31, it is controlled to the advantageous section. During the advantageous section, background rendering for the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light.
When a bonus is won at timing t31, which is a non-ending state, notification of a bonus winning round and bonus winning is performed from timing t32 to timing t33.

In the bonus winning game, when the bonus winning is missed, the gaming state is controlled from the next game to the inside. If a symbol combination of bonus can be derived inside, a bonus winning will occur. In this example, since the bonus is won at timing t35, the gaming state is thereafter controlled to bonus until timing t36.

Here, as described above, the number of advantageous residual G is not subtracted during the inside. For this reason, there is a possibility that there is a player who attempts to control the ending state by accumulating the value of the ending state counter by intentionally extending the state inside. In addition, when a predetermined period (for example, 10 games) has passed in the ending state and the type of bonus being won and the symbol combination thereof are notified, the player avoids the bonus winning. It will be done too.

However, in the present embodiment, the ending state counter is not added inside. Furthermore, the number G of advantageous sections is added also during the inside. For this reason, if the gaming state is controlled inside during the non-ending state and the inside state is deliberately extended, the advantageous section G during the inside despite the non-ending state. The number will reach 1500 games. Also in the example shown in FIG. 31 (d), the number G of advantageous sections G has reached 1,500 games at timing t34, which is the inside and in the non-ending state.

When the number G of the advantageous sections reaches 1,500 games in the inside and in the non-ending state, the transition from the advantageous sections to the normal section is made and the background rendering for the advantageous sections is switched to the background rendering for the normal sections. Furthermore, the advantageous zone lamp 19 is turned off. Furthermore, when the number G of advantageous sections in the internal state and in the non-ending state reaches 1,500 games, freeze is executed at timing t 34 when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1500 games, and the result screen is the liquid crystal display 51
Is displayed on. The result screen in this case is the same as the example shown in FIG. 28A, and a character image of "RESULT" is displayed in the area 51a, and a character indicating the number of medals paid out in the advantageous section in the area 51b. An image is displayed, and a character image indicating the number of digested games in the advantageous section is displayed in the area 51c.

As described above, when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games in the inside and in the non-ending state, the result screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that timing.

Further, as described above, when the player wins by winning a bonus with no setting difference, processing relating to an instruction function such as an additional lottery may be performed during the bonus. However, Fig. 31 (d
In the case of the example shown in), the number G of the advantageous section G has already reached 1,500 games before being controlled to the bonus, and the background effect for the normal section is switched. Therefore, in this case, even when the player wins a bonus with no setting difference, it is treated as a bonus with a setting difference, and processing relating to an instruction function such as an additional lottery during the bonus is not executed. For example, since a bonus game with no setting difference is normally played, the effect during the bonus is the effect for the special bonus, but in the example shown in FIG. 31 (d), the effect during the bonus is normally It becomes an effect for a bonus, and a process relating to an instruction function such as an additional lottery is not executed during the bonus.

[Main effect]
Next, main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described.

(1-1) As shown in FIG. 11, advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle cherries, and advantageous normal replays are provided as an advantageous interval transition role that triggers a transition from a normal interval to an advantageous interval. The role of is also a trigger role of the additional drawing in AT and in the specialization zone. Although not an advantageous section transition part, strong cherries, weak cherries, and 7 Replays 1 to 7 are provided as a part that is a trigger of an additional drawing in the AT or in the specialization zone. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11 (d) and 11 (e), strong cherry winning, weak cherry winning, and 7 are performed.
When Replays 1 to 7 are won, the expected value of the number of AT games to be awarded in the additional lottery is higher than when Ret. As described above, since the expected value of the AT game number in the advantageous section varies depending on the type of winning combination, the AT game number can be suitably assigned according to the type of winning combination, and the interest of the game is improved. be able to. Furthermore, since the part that has not been used for any bonus drawing in the normal section is used for the additional drawing of the number of AT games in the advantageous section, it also serves as a motivation to aim for control to the advantageous section. Can be built.

(1-2) As shown in FIG. 8, strong cherries, weak cherries, and 7 Replays 1 to 7 are roles that win or do not win according to the RT state. As a result, the player can be made to pay attention to the type of RT state, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(1-3) As shown in FIG. 8, seven replays 1 to 7 are RT0, RT1, and RT2.
, And can be won at RT3 and RT4, and can be controlled to an advantageous segment at all of RT0 to RT4. As described above, whether to win 7 replays 1 to 7 differs depending on which RT state is controlled in the advantageous section, and accordingly, the number of AT games provided in the additional lottery in the advantageous section Since the expectation values are different, the player can be made to pay attention to the type of the RT state, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(2-1) As a special part whose winning probability does not differ according to the set value, as shown in FIG.
Bonus 1 and bonus 2 are provided, and bonus 1 + chance winning, bonus 2 + chance winning, and bonus 3 win are provided as a special combination in which the winning probability varies according to the set value. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), even when the bonus is won in any combination, the additional lottery is executed at the start of the bonus, and the ceiling G number counter is cleared at the end of the bonus. As described above, even when the bonus is won in any of the roles, the common processing is executed at the start of the bonus or at the end of the bonus, so that the interest of the game can be improved. Furthermore, when any one of Bonus 1 + Chance, Bonus 2 + Chance, and Bonus 3 is won, the bonus drawing is not executed during the bonus, while the bonus is won if either Bonus 1 or Bonus 2 is won. An additional lottery may be run. As a result, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether it is a bonus having a setting difference or a bonus having no setting difference, and the interest of the game can be improved.

In addition, when the common lost eye is derived, it is difficult for the player to recognize whether the bonus 1 is won alone or the bonus 1 is simultaneously won with the chance. Similarly, when a common lost eye is derived, it is difficult for the player to recognize whether the bonus 2 is won alone or whether the bonus 2 is simultaneously won with the chance. For this reason, if a common losing point is derived and then the bonus is controlled, whether it is a single winning of the bonus 1 or 2 without a setting difference, or a bonus 1 or 2 with a setting difference or a simultaneous winning of a chance, It is difficult for the player to recognize. In addition, at the start of the bonus, the winning lottery is executed using the common winning lottery table 10 as a common process, regardless of which bonus is won. Therefore, the game is progressed while making the player predict whether it is a bonus with no setting difference in which the bonus lottery can be executed during the bonus or a bonus with a setting difference in which the bonus lottery is not executed during the bonus. To improve the interest of the game.

(3-1) As shown in FIG. 12A, when one of the bonus 1 and the bonus 1+ chance is won, the special zone lottery is executed using the special zone lottery table 12. When one of the bonus 2, bonus 2 + chance, and bonus 3 is won, the special zone lottery is executed using the special zone lottery table 13. As described above, since the common process is executed for each type of bonus that has been won, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(3-2) As shown in FIG. 8, as a special part in which the winning probability does not differ according to the set value,
Bonus 1 and bonus 2 are provided, and bonus 1 + chance, bonus 2 + chance, and bonus 3 win are provided as special roles having different win probabilities according to the set value, and bonus 3 wins the lottery target role, It is a bonus 3 single winner. in this way,
A plurality of special roles are provided in which the winning probability does not differ according to the set value, and a plurality of special roles in which the winning probability varies according to the set value are provided. Since the player is also provided with a single winning combination, the game can be diversified and the interest of the game can be improved.

(3-3) As shown in FIG. 12A, the addition lottery is performed as the common process at the start of the bonus, and the special zone lottery is performed as the common process at the end of the bonus. As a result, the execution timing is different between the additional lottery and the special zone lottery, so that different processes can be prevented from being mixedly executed.

(4-1) As shown in FIG. 28 (a), when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1,500 games at timing t7 of the non-internal and ending state in the advantageous sections, the result screen is displayed along with the execution of freeze at timing t7. Is displayed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 31 (c),
The number G of advantageous sections is 15 at internal timing in the advantageous section and at timing t24 of the ending state
When the 00 game is reached, the result screen is displayed together with the execution of the freeze at timing t26 when the bonus ends. In this way, when bonus winning is carried over in the advantageous section, even if the advantageous section G number updated in the advantageous section reaches 1500 games, execution of freeze and display of the result screen are performed at that timing. The freeze is performed and the result screen is displayed when the bonus ends. This makes it possible to prevent the player from stopping the game by executing the freeze and displaying the result screen despite the bonus winning being carried over in the advantageous section. In this manner, it is possible to provide a slot machine which is improved with respect to the execution of freeze performed based on the update of the number G of advantageous sections and the display of the result screen.

(4-2) As shown in FIGS. 28 (a) and 31 (c), regardless of whether or not the number of advantageous sections G has reached 1,500 games within the advantageous sections, the number of advantageous sections G is 1,500. At the timing when the game is reached, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. Thereby, lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 19 which suggests that control of the advantageous section is being performed can be performed appropriately.

(4-3) As shown in FIG. 28 (a) and FIG. 31 (c), the number of advantageous sections G is 1,500.
When the game is reached, the results screen is displayed along with the execution of the freeze. As described above, by displaying the result screen with the execution of the freeze, it is easy for the player to recognize that the number of advantageous sections G has reached 1500 games.

(4-4) As shown at timing t2 in FIG. 28 (a), when the bonus is won in the non-ending state, the bonus beat and the bonus notification are performed,
As shown at timings t23 to t25 in FIG. 31 (c), when the bonus is won in the ending state, no bonus sound and no bonus notification are given. Also, FIG.
As shown at timings t21 to t26 in (c), in the ending state, the background does not change even if the bonus winning is made, and the ending screen shown in FIG. 29 (a) continues to be displayed.
As described above, since it is determined that control to the advantageous section is continued when being controlled to the ending state, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not to be controlled to the ending state,
The interest of the game can be improved.

(4-5) As shown in timing t23 to t26 in FIG. 31C, in the ending state, the background effect corresponding to the ending state continues to be executed until the bonus ends after the bonus is won. The ending screen shown in a) continues to be displayed. This makes it possible for the player to play without discomfort.

(5-1) As shown in FIG. 28 (a), when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1,500 games at timing t7 of the non-internal and ending state in the advantageous sections, the result screen is displayed along with the execution of freeze at timing t7. As shown in FIG. 31 (d), when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1500 games at timing t33 inside and in the non-ending state in the advantageous sections, the result screen is displayed with the execution of freeze at timing t33. Ru. Thereby, regardless of whether or not bonus winning is carried over in the advantageous section,
It is possible to properly execute the freeze execution and the display of the result screen. In this manner, it is possible to provide a slot machine which is improved with respect to the execution of freeze performed based on the update of the number G of advantageous sections and the display of the result screen.

(5-2) As shown in FIGS. 28 (a) and 31 (d), regardless of whether or not the number of advantageous sections G has reached 1,500 games in the advantageous sections, the number of advantageous sections G is 1,500. At the timing when the game is reached, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. Thereby, lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 19 which suggests that control of the advantageous section is being performed can be performed appropriately.

(5-3) As shown in FIG. 28 (a) and FIG. 31 (d), the number of advantageous sections G is 1,500.
When the game is reached, the results screen is displayed along with the execution of the freeze. As described above, by displaying the result screen with the execution of the freeze, it is easy for the player to recognize that the number of advantageous sections G has reached 1500 games.

(5-4) As shown in FIG. 4, since the corresponding symbol combinations are not arranged within 5 frames in each reel, the bonuses 1 to 3 may miss a prize even if they are won. As described above, in the inside carrying over the bonus winning, the bonus winning can not be made unless the stop switch is operated at an appropriate timing. However, even if it is difficult to get a bonus prize, the condition inside is continued for a long time,
As shown in FIG. 31 (d), when the number G of the advantage sections reaches 1,500 games, the result screen is displayed together with the execution of the freeze, so the player is informed that the number G of the advantage sections G has reached 1,500 games. Easy to recognize.

(5-5) As shown in FIG. 31 (d), in the inside where the bonus winning is carried over, the number of remaining advantage G is not subtracted. In this case, there is a possibility that there is a player who attempts to control the ending state by accumulating the value of the ending state counter by intentionally extending the state inside. However, in the present embodiment, since the ending state counter is not added in the inside, it is possible to prevent the capture of the game by intentionally extending the state in the inside.

(5-6) As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when one of the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 having no difference in setting is won, an additional lottery may be performed during the bonus. On the other hand, if one of the bonus 1+ chance, the bonus 2+ chance, and the bonus 3 with a set difference is won, the additional lottery is not executed during the bonus. Here, as shown in FIG. 31 (d), in the internal and non-ending state in which Bonus 1 and Bonus 2 with no setting difference are won, the advantageous section G number counter reaches 1500 games and the freeze is executed. When the result screen is displayed, it is treated as a bonus with a setting difference during the subsequent bonus, and the additional drawing is not executed during the bonus. Thus, in the case of the player who tried to control to the ending state by intentionally extending the state inside, even if winning with a bonus with no setting difference and winning, it is treated as a bonus with a setting difference Thus, such a player can be prevented from becoming advantageous.

(6-1) In the setting change process shown in FIG. 27, when the setting value is changed and the setting key switch is turned off and the setting value is determined, the advantageous section lamp extinguishing process is executed in S280. . Further, this advantageous section lamp extinguishing process is the same as the advantageous section lamp extinguishing process of S86 in the game ending process shown in FIG. As described above, during the control to the setting change state, the same advantageous section lamp extinguishing process as that at the end of the game is executed, so that the suggestion of the advantageous section can be reliably ended.

(7-1) As shown in FIG. 21, if the next main state is the specialization zone, S137
Waiting for return = RT4 transition rep display waiting is set. In such a situation, AR
When the ascending replay is won in RT3 during T, navigation information for winning an RT4 transition ripple is notified by the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 25, when the RT4 migration message is displayed according to the navigation information (YES in S227), return waiting information = 0 is obtained (S228). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 24, when the RT1 transition ripple is displayed instead of the RT4 transition ripple by not following the navigation information (NO in S195), return waiting information = 0 is obtained (S199). Thus, when the player is elected to perform the upswing replay in the ART, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the navigation information
Regardless of whether or not is operated, return waiting information = 0, and as shown in FIG. 14, when return waiting information = 0 (YES at S41), subtraction of the number of games in the specialized zone starts (S4
3). On the other hand, if 7 replays are won in RT3 which is in ART, Lip 1
The navigation information for winning a prize is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information,
The subtraction of the number of games in the specialized zone does not start.

The flow of the game according to the above-described processing will be described with reference to FIG. Figure 32
It is a figure for demonstrating the flow of the game in preparation of a specialization zone. As shown in FIG. 32A, when 7 replays are won during ART (AT + RT3), a special zone lottery is performed. When the special zone lottery is won, the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91 is performed. At this time, navigation information prompting the first stop during the 7 replay is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, the navigation control by the main control unit 41 using the gaming assistance display 12 is not performed.

As shown in FIG. 32B, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in accordance with the navigation information, 7 replays are displayed. As a result, the player is notified that the special zone has been won. As shown in FIG. 32 (C), when the game is shifted to the next game, it transitions to preparation of the specialization zone while keeping RT3.

Here, first, the case of winning the ascending replay in the game after the example shown in FIG. 32C will be described. As shown in FIG. 32 (D1), when the player wins the upswing replay, navigation by the sub control unit 91 is performed, and navigation notification by the main control unit 41 is performed. In this example, while the navigation information for prompting the middle first stop is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, seven segments of navigation information (2F) for prompting the middle first stop are displayed on the game assistance display 12.

After the example shown in FIG. 32 (D1), when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, as shown in FIG. 32 (E1a), the freeze is performed and the start effect is performed. In this example, a character image indicating that the specialization zone is to be started by the start effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, in the upper right of the liquid crystal display 51, the remaining advantage G of the specialization zone
The number (the remaining 30 games in this example) is also displayed. Stop switch 8L according to the navigation information,
Since 8C and 8R are operated, as shown in FIG. 32 (F1a), the game state is controlled to RT4 from the next game by the display of the RT4 transition message. The liquid crystal display 51 displays a character image indicating that it is in the specialization zone, and the number G of advantageous residual G in the specialization zone is subtracted (see FIG.
In this example the remaining 29 games). That is, subtraction of the number G of remaining advantages in the specialization zone starts.

After the example shown in FIG. 32 (D1), the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R do not follow the navigation information.
Is operated, as shown in FIG. 32 (E1 b), according to the navigation information, the stop switch 8
As with L, 8C, 8R, the freeze is performed and the start effect is performed. In this example, a character image indicating that the specialization zone is to be started by the start effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, in the upper right of the liquid crystal display 51, the remaining number G of the specialization zone (
In this example, the remaining 30 games are also displayed. Stop switch 8L, 8 without following navigation information
Since C and 8R are operated, as shown in FIG. 32 (F1 b), the game state is controlled to RT1 from the next game by the display of the RT1 transition message. While the character image which shows that it is in a specialization zone is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the number G of advantageous remaining G of a specialization zone is subtracted (in this example, the remaining 29 games). That is, subtraction of the number G of remaining advantages in the specialization zone starts.

Next, the case where 7 replays are won in the game after the example shown in FIG. 32 (C) will be described. As shown in FIG. 32 (D2), when 7 Replay is won, the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91 is performed. At this time, navigation information prompting the left first stop corresponding to the lip 1 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In the example shown in FIG. 32 (A), in order to suggest that the specialization zone has been won, navigation information prompting the first stop during 7 replays has been notified, but FIG. 32 (D2
In the example shown in), there is no need to display 7 replays meaninglessly because there are already won in the specialization zone, so navigation information prompting the left first stop corresponding to the lip 1 is notified. on the other hand,
Navigation notification by the main control unit 41 using the gaming assistance display 12 is not performed.

After the example shown in FIG. 32 (D2), when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, as shown in FIG. 32 (E2a), neither the freeze nor the start effect is performed, and the specialization zone is performed. Preparation is maintained. In addition, in the liquid crystal display 51, the number G of advantageous remaining G in the specialization zone is not displayed either. As shown in FIG. 32 (F2a), even when the game is shifted to the next game, the gaming state is maintained at RT3, and the special zone preparation is maintained. In other words,
The subtraction of the number of remaining G in the specialization zone does not start.

After the example shown in FIG. 32 (D2), the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R do not follow the navigation information.
Is operated, as shown in FIG. 32 (E2b), according to the navigation information stop switch 8
As in the case where L, 8C, 8R are operated, the special zone preparation is maintained while neither freezing nor start effect is performed. In addition, in the liquid crystal display 51, the number G of advantageous remaining G in the specialization zone is not displayed either. As shown in FIG. 32 (F2b), the game state is R even if the game is shifted to the next game.
T3 is maintained, and special zone preparation is maintained. That is, the subtraction of the number G of remaining advantages in the specialization zone does not start.

As in the above-described example, when the special zone is being prepared, if the main control unit 41 wins the upswing replay that is the target of the navigation notification, the stop switch 8L is performed according to the navigation information.
, 8C, 8R are operated regardless of whether they are operated or not
The subtraction of numbers starts. On the other hand, during special zone preparation, when 7 replays not targeted for navigational notification by the main control unit 41 are won, the stop switch 8 is performed according to the navigational information.
It does not shift to the specialization zone regardless of whether L, 8C, 8R are operated, and does not start subtraction of the number G of remaining advantages of the specialization zone.

Here, in order to start the subtraction of the number of remaining G in the specialization zone in S43 of FIG. 14, it is a condition that return waiting information = 0 and main state = specialization zone not being prepared. In order to be return waiting information = 0, the return waiting information must be 0 in S199 of FIG. 24. However, it is necessary to be NO in S191 as the condition. However, when 7 Replays are won, the navigation notification is not performed, so the determination is YES in S191. For this reason, when 7 replays are won, return waiting information = 0 does not occur. In addition, in order not to be in preparation of the main state = specialized zone, the specialization zone must be set from the specialization zone preparation in the next main state setting in S76 of FIG. It must be However, in order to set the navigation neglected flag = ON in S198 of FIG. 24, it is also required to be NO in S191, and when 7 replay is won, navigation notification is not performed, so YES is determined in S191. For this reason, when 7 replays are won, the navigation neglect flag does not become ON. In addition, in order not to be in preparation of the main state = specialized zone, the special zone must be set from specializing zone preparation in the next main state setting in S76 of FIG.
T4 transition lip should be displayed. However, when winning 7 replays, RT
(3) Since neither the transition lip nor the RT4 transition lip is displayed, the next main state will not be the specialized zone.

As described above, in a situation where navigation information is notified by both navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, the game of the specialization zone is performed regardless of whether or not the navigation information is followed. Since subtraction of the number starts, when navigation information is notified by any of navigation information and navigation effects, dare not to follow navigation information to avoid transitioning to RT4, which is a specialized zone, for a while However, by extending the period of transition from ART to the specialization zone, it is possible to prevent the capture of the player who is trying to increase the net increase number. On the other hand, in a situation where navigation information is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, there is no possibility that transition to RT4 serving as a specialization zone is avoided. By not starting subtraction of the number of games in the specialization zone regardless of whether or not
It is possible to prevent the player from being dissatisfied as much as possible.

The next main state is not limited to the specialization zone. For example, when the next main state is ART, return waiting information = RT3 transition rep display waiting is set in S135.
In such a situation, when the in-play replay is won in RT2 in preparation for ART, navigation information for winning the RT3 transition rep is notified by navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and navigation effect by the sub control unit 91 . As shown in FIG. 25, when the RT3 transition message is displayed according to the navigation information (YES in S225), return waiting information = 0 (0
S228). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 24, when the RT1 transition ripple is displayed instead of the RT3 transition ripple by not following the navigation information (NO in S193), return waiting information = 0 (S1).
99). As described above, when the inrush replay is won during ART, return waiting information = 0, regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, and as shown in FIG. When the information = 0 (YES in S41), subtraction of the number of ART games starts (S43).

(7-2) When the player wins the upswing replay in RT3 during ART, the transition to RT4 is won when the navigation information is followed, and the gaming state shifts to RT4, whereas the navigation information is followed. If not, the RT1 transition lip is won and the gaming state shifts to RT1. As a result, when navigation information is notified by any of the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the transition to RT4, which is a specialized zone, is avoided by not following the navigation information.
By shifting the game state to 1 and thereby extending the period of transition from ART to the specialization zone, it is possible to prevent the capture of the player trying to increase the net increase number.

(7-3) In the situation where return waiting information = special view display waiting, when the pushing order bell is won during ART, the navigation information for winning the bell which is the protagonist is the navigation by the main control unit 41 The notification and the navigation by the sub control unit 91 are notified. As shown in FIG. 24, when the bell is displayed according to the navigation information when the pushing order bell is won (
If the special view is displayed without skipping the processing of S199 and the return waiting information = 0 and not following the navigation information (S197: YES), the return waiting information = 0 (S19).
9). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24, when the lip 1 or the lip 2 is displayed according to the navigation information when winning in the RT1 fall replay (YES in S194), the processing of S199 is skipped and return wait information = 0. If the RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation information (
S194 returns no, and return wait information = 0 (S199). As shown in FIG. 14, when return waiting information = 0 (NO at S41), subtraction of the number of games in the specialized zone starts (S43).
). In this way, push order bell or R that does not trigger the start of the specialization zone during ART
Even when the T1 transition fall replay is won, subtraction of the number of games in the specialization zone starts when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, so navigation notification and navigation effect When the navigation information is notified by any of them, the player can be urged to follow the navigation information.

(7-4) As shown in FIG. 10, when 7 replays are won, when the specialization zone is not elected, the navigation information for winning the lip 1 is notified, while the specialization zone is displayed. When winning, 7 navigation information for winning a replay is notified. And
When the replay is won, the special zone zone winning is suggested to the player. As described above, 7 Replay is used to indicate the winning of the specialization zone, so 7 Replay can be used to improve the interest of the game.

(7-5) Regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified when winning the ascending replay, during the ART, the specialization zone starts to the specialization zone When transitioning, the start effect is performed in a common manner. As a result, the player is not dissatisfied because the start effect differs depending on whether or not the navigation effect is followed.

(7-6) Regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified when winning the ascending replay, during the ART, the specialization zone starts to the specialization zone When transitioning, freezing occurs in a common manner. By this,
The fact that the freeze is different depending on whether or not the navigation effect is followed does not cause the player to be dissatisfied.

(7-7) When the player wins the upswing replay, whether the gaming state is promoted to RT4 or falls to RT1 changes according to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. on the other hand,
When the player wins 7 replay, the gaming state does not change regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Thus, in the case of winning 7 replays in which the degree of advantage for the player does not change regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the sub control unit 9
The navigation information is notified only by the navi effect by 1, and it is possible not to start the subtraction of the number of games in the specialization zone regardless of whether or not the navigation information is followed.

(8-1) As shown in FIG. 8, weak cherries, which are common display results, are selected when winning an advantageous weak cherry serving as an advantageous segment transition role and winning weak cherry that is not an advantageous segment transition role. It can be displayed. And while it is possible to win both the advantageous weak cherries and the weak cherries at RT1, the advantageous weak cherries can be won at RT0 while the weak cherries can not be won. Thereby, when weak cherries are displayed at RT0, the winning of the advantageous weak cherries is determined, and the transition to the advantageous section is determined, so that it is possible to improve the interest of the game regarding the transition of the advantageous section.

(8-2) As shown in FIG. 7, in RT0 which shifts after the end of the bonus, it continues until the special figure is displayed at the time of winning bell order. As shown in FIG. 8, in RT0, a direct hit replay that is not won in RT1 is won. Since the direct hit replay is a lottery trigger for a drawing relating to the instruction function, for example, when the direct hit replay is won in CZ1 and CZ2 during RT0, the AT right is granted with a probability of 100%. This allows the player to pay attention to whether or not RT0 can be continued without displaying a special figure in RT0 transitioning after the end of the bonus.

(8-3) When winning an advantageous weak cherry at RT0, the addition of AT is determined. For this reason, even in the case of RT0 which is a gaming state after the end of the bonus, it is possible to prevent the player from giving a feeling of regret for the end of the bonus as much as possible.

(8-4) At RT0 after the end of the bonus, the bonus election is initially controlled to the advantageous section, but when the advantageous section is terminated thereafter, it is controlled to the normal section. Even in this case, when the player is elected to be advantageous weak cherries in the normal section, the transition to the advantageous section is determined, so that the player is prevented as much as possible from giving a sense of regret due to the control to the normal section. Can.

(9-1) As shown in FIG. 19, in the process of winning the advantageous section, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to ON in S101, and then, as shown in FIG. In step S54, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF. Thus, in the process when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag for navigation shifts to the advantageous section, O
Since the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF so as to indicate that navigation has been set when N is selected and the push order bell targeted for navigation wait is won, management of navigation information notification is preferably performed. It can be carried out.

(9-2) As shown in FIG. 13, the flag of the lottery type 1 is set when any of the advantageous weak cherries and the advantageous strong cherries, which are the advantageous section transition roles, is won. Then, based on the flag set in the lottery type 1, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section transition winning is won. Specifically, if any bit is set in the data included in the lottery type 1, it is uniformly determined that the advantageous section transition combination winning combination is determined, and it is further determined that the transition to the advantageous section is uniformly performed. Be done. As described above, the flag storing the winning result in the internal lottery and the flag used to determine the transition to the advantageous section are made common, and it is possible to compare the advantageous section only by referring to the one data included in the lottery type 1. It can be determined whether or not the transition role has been won, and whether or not to shift to the advantageous segment. Therefore, for example, using the individually assigned winning numbers in the internal lottery, it is individually specified for each winning combination whether or not to win the internal lottery, and it is further compared with the case where it is individually specified whether or not to shift to the advantageous section. It is not necessary to provide a plurality of data, and management of notification of navigation information can be suitably performed.

(9-3) A precursor that indicates whether CZ1 or CZ2 is controlled as the advantageous section more advantageous than the normal section and the advantageous section continues as it is or transitions to the normal section without being controlled by CZ1 or CZ2 A state is provided. As a result, since it is possible to indicate to the player whether the advantageous section continues or shifts to the normal section in a precursor state that is more advantageous than the normal section, the advantageous section continues to the player in an advantageous state. Can be expected for things.

(9-4) As shown in FIG. 19, in the process of winning the advantageous section, the flag of the advantageous section is set to ON in S101. In this way, by setting the flag during the advantageous section, it is possible to preferably manage whether or not the advantageous section is within.

(9-5) As shown in FIG. 18, in the game ending process, when the flag during the advantageous section is set (YES in S84), the advantageous section lamp 19 is lighted in S85. In this way, the advantageous section lamp 19 can be reliably turned on if it is an advantageous section when the game is over.

(10-1) As shown in FIG. 13, in the common start process, the number of advantageous sections G is 15
When the 00 game is reached (YES in S12), the advantageous section end flag is set to ON in S13. Further, as shown in FIG. 23, in the advantageous section end determination process, the number of advantageous residual G is 0.
Is reached (YES in S171), the advantageous section end flag is set to ON in S173. As described above, the timing of the end processing of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games is different from the timing of the end processing of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous residual G reaches 0. The end process of can be made more reliable, and the advantageous section can be ended preferably.

(10-2) As shown in FIG. 13, in the common start process, the advantageous section end flag = ON is set in S13 regardless of whether or not the navigation information is notified. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, in the advantageous section end determination processing, when navigation is performed and the advantageous section navi wait flag = OFF (YES in S172), the advantageous section end flag = O in S173.
It is set to N. As described above, in the advantageous section end determination process, even if the advantageous remaining G number reaches 0, the advantageous section end flag is not set to ON when navigation is not performed, and thus the advantageous section is not navigated. There is no termination process.

(10-3) As shown in FIG. 23, in the advantageous section end determination process, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section end flag is set to ON by determining whether or not the advantageous remaining G number has reached 0 in S171. Determine if Further, in this process, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section end flag is set to ON by determining whether or not all the advantageous residual G numbers such as the precursor state, CZ, AT, and the specialization zone have reached 0. judge. As a result, since the end process can be distinguished from the end process of the advantageous section when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1,500 games, the slot machine can be designed easily.

(10-4) In the game end process of FIG. 18, regardless of whether the advantageous section end determination process is set to ON in the common start process shown in FIG. 13 or the advantageous section end determination process shown in FIG. When it is determined that the advantageous section end determination process = ON (YES in S82)
, And S83, all the balls are cleared, and the flag of the advantageous section is set to OFF. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off at S86. As described above, since the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after all the dispensed balls work are cleared and the advantageous section flag is set to OFF, it is informed that the advantageous section is not more reliably by turning off the advantageous section lamp 19 can do.

(10-5) The advantageous section end determination processing shown in FIG. 23 is included in the normal section return processing shown in FIG. 22, and this normal section return processing is executed in any main state in the advantageous section. Be done. This makes it possible to commonize the processing relating to the end of the advantageous section using the number G of advantageous residuals in a plurality of main states, so that the processing load relating to the end of the advantageous section can be reduced.

(10-6) The common start process shown in FIG. 13 is executed in any main state in the advantageous section. Thus, in the plurality of main states, processing relating to the end of the advantageous section using the number of advantageous sections G can be made common, so that the processing load relating to the end of the advantageous section can be reduced.

(11-1) As shown in FIG. 20, the return main state after the end of the bonus is set according to the main state when the bonus is won. Then, during the bonus, a lottery relating to the instruction function is performed according to the return destination main state. As described above, when a bonus is won, settings relating to the lottery during the bonus can be made, and the lottery process during the bonus can be suitably performed. Thereby, the processing when the bonus is won can be suitably executed.

(11-2) As shown in FIG. 20, when the main state is a normal section or a precursor state, the return destination main state is set to CZ1, and when the main state is CZ1 or CZ2, the return destination main state is set during ART preparation. Be done. As described above, even if the main state when the bonus is won is different, the common return destination main state is set, so that the processing load on setting the return destination main state can be reduced.

(12-1) As shown in FIG. 21, in the bonus start common process, return waiting information is set in accordance with the next main state. The return waiting information is information of a symbol combination serving as an opportunity to start the state set in the main state next time. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, when the return waiting information = 0 is not satisfied (NO in S41), the processing of S43 is skipped and the number of advantageous residual G is not subtracted. As described above, after the end of the bonus, as long as the return waiting information set at the start of the bonus is set, the number G of advantageous remaining G in the next main state is not subtracted. It is possible to prevent the decrease in the interest of the game as much as possible. And the process regarding subtraction of the number G of advantageous remaining after the end of a bonus can be performed suitably.

(12-2) In the process of S43 shown in FIG. 14, the number of advantageous G of CZ, the number of advantageous G of AT, or the number of advantageous G of the specialization zone are subtracted, but after the bonus ends, As long as return waiting information set at the start of the bonus is set, the number of remaining advantage G is not subtracted. As a result, it is possible to prevent, as much as possible, the decrease in the interest of the game with regard to the subtraction of the number of remaining interest G after the end of the bonus.

(12-3) As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 21, when the main state = CZ1 next time, the special view which is a display result for the gaming state to shift to RT1 is set as return waiting information, and the next main state = When it is a specialization zone, an RT4 transition message, which is a display result for transitioning the gaming state to RT4, is set as return waiting information. As described above, since different return waiting information is set in accordance with the type of the main state next time, processing relating to the subtraction of the number G of remaining interest after the end of the bonus can be suitably executed.

(12-4) As shown in FIG. 25, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified by the navigation notification of the main control unit 41, return waiting information = 0 is set in S228. Ru. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 24, even when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information notified by the navigation notification of the main control unit 41, return waiting information = 0 is set in S199. Be done. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, when return waiting information = 0 (YES in S41), subtraction of the number G of remaining advantages starts (S43).
Thus, not only when following the navigation information, but also when not following the navigation information
Since the subtraction of the number starts, by not following the navigation information, it is possible to prevent the capture of the player who tries to increase the net increase number by extending the period controlled to the advantageous state.

(12-5) The common start process shown in FIG. 13 is executed every game regardless of whether or not a bonus is being played. Then, in the common start process, the advantageous section G number counter is incremented by one in S11. This makes it possible to prevent, as much as possible, excessive exaggeration of the game being played during the bonus.

(13-1) As shown in FIG. 7, there are provided a plurality of types of RT states having mutually different replay winning probabilities, and can be controlled to an advantageous section in any RT state. Also, the common start process shown in FIG. 13 is executed every game in any RT state, and S11
The advantageous section G number counter is incremented by one. In addition, the start process of each main state shown in FIG. 14 is executed every game in any RT state, and the return wait state = 0 (
At S41, the advantage remaining G number counter is decremented by one at S43. As described above, in any of the RT states, since the advantageous section G number counter is updated in the advantageous section, it is possible to prevent as much as possible from excessively enhancing the game's prosperity in the advantageous section. Furthermore, in any of the RT states, since the advantage remaining G number counter is updated in the advantageous section, it is possible to prevent the exulsivity of the game in the advantageous section from being excessively enhanced as much as possible. As described above, by improving the end of the advantageous section, it is possible to prevent the exulsivity of the game in the advantageous section from being excessively enhanced as much as possible.

(13-2) As shown in FIG. 7, in RT3 which is an advantageous RT, when the RT1 transitional message is displayed without following the navigation when the ascending replay is won, it shifts to RT1 which is the disadvantage RT. Thereby, for the player who operated the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the navigation,
It can give a benefit.

(13-3) As shown in FIG. 25, when the return waiting information is set to any of the special view display waiting, the RT3 transition ripple display waiting, and the RT4 transition ripple display waiting, and these display results are not derived, S228. Since the process of is skipped, return wait information is not set to 0. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, as long as the return waiting information = 0, the process of S43 is skipped and the number G of advantages is not subtracted. When displayed, the special view, the RT3 transition reply, and the RT4 transition rep set as recovery waiting information are promoted from RT0 to another RT state. That is, at RT0 after the end of the bonus, the number of remaining advantage G is not subtracted, and the RT
After promoting from 0 to another RT state, subtraction of the number of available Gs starts. As described above, unlike RT1, which is controlled by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R without following the navigation like RT0, in RT0 which is always controlled after the end of the bonus, the number of advantageous G is Is not subtracted, it is possible to prevent the player from being unduly disadvantageous as much as possible.

(13-4) Precursor states, CZ1, CZ2, AT, and specialized zones, etc.
Several types of advantageous sections are provided. RT3 no matter in which advantageous section it is controlled
And when the special view or RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation in RT4 or RT4, the gaming state shifts to RT1. This makes it possible to simplify the processing relating to the transition of the gaming state as much as possible.

(14-1) As shown in FIG. 28 (a), when the bonus is not in progress, the advantageous section G is
At the timing t7 when the number reaches 1500 games, the result notification and the freezing are performed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 28 (b), at timing t15 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games during bonus, result notification and freeze are not performed, and then result notification and freeze at timing t16 when the bonus ends. Is done. In the result notification performed at timing t7 shown in FIG. 28 (a), the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section and the number of digested games in the advantageous section are notified as shown in FIG. 29 (b). On the other hand, in the result notification performed at timing t16 shown in FIG. 28 (b), the number of medals paid out only during the bonus is added to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section as shown in FIG. 29 (c). The calculated sum value is notified by result notification. Thus, when the bonus is not in progress, the number G of advantageous sections is 15
Not only when the 00 game is reached, but also when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games in the bonus, the result notification can be appropriately performed. As described above, the result notification can be appropriately performed by improving the processing when the advantageous section ends.

(14-2) As shown in FIG. 28 (b), the number G of the advantageous section G is 150 during the bonus.
At timing t15 when the 0 game is reached, the result notification and the freeze are not performed, and thereafter,
At the timing t16 when the bonus ends, the result notification and the freezing are performed. Thus, not only when the bonus section G has reached 1500 games but not during bonusing,
Even when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 during the bonus, it is possible to appropriately notify the result when the bonus is over.

(14-3) As shown in FIG. 28, freezing is performed together with the result notification. This makes it easy for the player to recognize that the number of advantageous sections G has reached 1500 games.

(14-4) As shown in FIG. 29 (b), the number G of advantageous sections G is 150 during the bonus.
When the game reaches 0, the sum value obtained by adding the number of medals paid out only during the bonus to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section is notified by the result notification. Thereby, the player can be made to grasp the pure number of medals paid out during the advantageous section and during the bonus.

(14-5) As shown in FIG. 28 (b), the number of digested games is not notified in the result notification. Thus, for example, by displaying the total number of controlled games (1520 games) controlled during the advantageous section or during the bonus, it is determined that the player is controlled to the advantageous section over the number of games exceeding 1500 games. There is nothing to mislead.

(14-6) As shown in FIG. 28 (b), the number G of the advantageous section G is 150 during the bonus.
When the 0 game is reached, the advantage zone lamp 19 is turned off at that time, while the bonus lamp 60 is kept on. As a result, while the bonus lamp 60 is lit, the player can recognize that a bonus is being made, while the advantageous section lamp 19 can recognize that the advantageous section has ended.

(15-1) As shown in FIG. 15, in RT0 after the end of the bonus, when the CZ right is granted, the navigation is performed at the first push order bell, while the AT right is granted. If it is the first push order Bell is not performed at the time of winning the bell. Thus, RT
The control relating to the notification of navigation information when the right of CZ is granted at 0 is different from the control relating to the notification of navigation information when the right of AT is granted at RT0. In this way, by varying the control relating to the notification of the navigation information according to the type of the advantageous section to which the right is granted, it becomes possible to design various games according to the type of the advantageous section, and management of the notification of the navigation information Can be suitably performed.

(15-2) As shown in FIG. 15, in RT0 after the end of the bonus, when the right of CZ is granted, navigation is performed at the first push order bell, while the right of AT is granted. If it is the first push order Bell is not performed at the time of winning the bell. As described above, since the presence or absence of notification of the navigation information differs depending on the type of the advantageous section to which the right is given, the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the navigation information is notified.

(15-3) If the AT right is granted, the gaming state changes from RT0 to RT1 if a special figure is displayed without the leading role being displayed because navigation is not performed at the first push order bell win. Transition. As a result, when AT's right is granted, it is prioritized to promote from RT0 first, so it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantageous as much as possible.

(15-4) As shown in FIG. 15, in the gaming state other than RT0, CZ and AT
The navigation is performed when the first push order bell is won, regardless of which of the rights is granted. Thereby, in the gaming state other than RT0, the presence or absence of the notification of the navigation information does not differ according to the type of the advantageous section to which the right is granted, so it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantageous as much as possible. .

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although the main embodiment in this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible. Hereinafter, modified examples of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About added lottery]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 (d) and 11 (e), when it is not the advantageous section transition part, the strong cherry, the weak cherry, and the 7 replay 1 to 7 are won The expected value of the number of AT games to be awarded in the additional lottery is higher than that of the advantageous strength cherry winning, the advantageous weak cherry winning, the middle stage cherry winning, and the advantageous normal replay winning, but limited thereto Absent. For example, when the advantageous section transition part, advantageous strong cherry winning, advantageous weak cherry elected, middle stage cherry elected, and advantageous normal replay winning, it is not the advantageous section moving part, strong cherry elected, weak cherry elected, and 7 replay 1 The expected value of the number of AT games to be awarded in the additional lottery may be higher than that in the case of winning ̃7. Even in this manner, since the expected value of AT game number in the advantageous section varies depending on the type of winning combination, the number of AT games can be suitably assigned according to the type of winning combination, and the fun of gaming can be increased. It can be improved.

[About the internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 8, strong cherries, weak cherries, and 7 replays 1 to 7 were won or not according to the RT state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, while strong cherries, weak cherries, and 7 replays 1 to 7 may win in all RT states, but may have different winning probabilities depending on types of RT states. For example, 7 Replays 1-7
While winning in all RT states, RT3 and RT4 may be more likely to win than RT0, RT1 and RT2. In this way, RT3 controlled by ART and RT4 controlled by the specialized zone are more effective than RT0, RT1 and RT2,
Since the winning probability of 7 replays 1 to 7 that trigger the extra lottery increases, the player can be expected to perform the extra lottery in RT3 and RT4.

[Common processing]
In the present embodiment, the bonus winning time is illustrated as the bonus start time which is the timing at which the common process is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the common processing may be executed when the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the third stop in which all reels finally stop in the bonus winning game is released. In addition, the common process may be performed when the start switch 7 is operated in a game in which the bonus starts, or when the bet number setting operation for setting the bet number is performed.

In the present embodiment, when any one of Bonus 1 and Bonus 1+ chance is won, the special zone lottery is executed using the special zone lottery table 12, and bonus 2, bonus 2 + chance, and bonus 3 are performed. When one of the above is won, the special zone lottery is executed using the special zone lottery table 13, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if the bonus is won in any of the roles, the special zone lottery may be executed using the common special zone lottery table. Furthermore, the special zone lottery may not be executed only when the bonus 3 is won. In this way, since the specialized zone lottery is not executed only when the bonus 3 single winning with the setting difference is made, it is possible to make it difficult to make the game difference according to the setting value.

In the present embodiment, although the additional drawing is performed using the additional drawing table 10 when any of the winning combinations is won, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, bonus 1
And, when one of the bonus 1 + chances is won and when any of the bonus 2, bonus 2 + chances and bonus 3 is won, the additional lottery may be executed using different additional lottery tables.

In the present embodiment, the addition lottery is executed as a common process at the start of the bonus, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an addition lottery may be executed as a common process at the end of the bonus. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the special zone lottery is executed as a common process at the end of the bonus, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a special zone lottery may be executed as a common process at the start of a bonus.

In the present embodiment, the winning lottery is performed during the bonus when one of the bonus 1 and the bonus 2 which is a combination having no setting difference is won, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if one of Bonus 1 and Bonus 2 is won, a special zone lottery may be performed during the bonus.

In the present embodiment, the addition lottery and the special zone lottery are exemplified as the common process when any bonus is won, but the AT lottery in CZ is applied as the common process when any bonus is won. You may FIG. 33 is a diagram for explaining common processing related to winning of a bonus according to a modification.

As shown in FIG. 33 (a), when a bonus 1 and a bonus 2 with no setting difference, a bonus 1 + chance with a setting difference, a bonus 2 + chance, and a bonus 3 bonus are won in CZ1 as shown in FIG. At the start or end of the bonus, an AT lottery using the AT lottery table 14 may be executed as a common process. Furthermore, FIG. 33 (b)
In the AT lottery using the AT lottery table 14 in CZ1, as shown in FIG.
You may win AT with a probability of%.

Also, as shown in FIG. 33 (a), when one of the bonus 1 and bonus 2 without setting difference, the bonus 1 + chance with setting difference, the bonus 2 + chance, and the bonus 3 is won in CZ 2 Alternatively, an AT lottery using the AT lottery table 15 may be executed as a common process at the start or end of the bonus. Furthermore, FIG.
As shown in (c), in the AT lottery using the AT lottery table 15 in CZ2,
The AT may be won with a probability of 100%.

As described above, the AT lottery may be executed at the start or end of the bonus even when any of the bonus with no setting difference and the bonus with the setting difference is won in CZ1 or CZ2. And in the said AT lottery, the right for controlling to AT with 100% probability may be granted. Note that the AT lottery need not necessarily be executed. In other words, C
Even when a bonus with no setting difference or a bonus with a setting difference is won during Z1 or CZ2, the right to control the AT at the start or end of the bonus may be provided. It should be noted that the CZ is not limited to the one to which the AT is necessarily given the right to control.
The probability of winning AT may be different between 1 and CZ2.

[On turn off of the advantageous section lamp]
In the present embodiment, as shown in S280 of FIG. 27, the advantageous section lamp extinguishing process is executed during the setting change state, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the advantageous section lamp extinguishing process may be executed after the setting change process shown in FIG. 27 is completed. In this way, after the control to the setting change state is finished, the same advantageous section lamp turn-off process as when the game is finished is executed, so it is possible to reliably end the suggestion that it is an advantageous section. .

In addition, in the initialization process of S273 of the setting change process shown in FIG. 27, the flag during the advantageous section is set to OFF, and thereafter, when the setting change process ends and returns to the normal game possible state, periodically. The advantageous section ramp data may be set to OFF when it is determined that the advantageous section flag is OFF by the interruption processing. In this way, after the control to the setting change state is finished, it is possible to surely end the suggestion that the section is the advantageous section by the interrupt processing. Moreover, in this case, if the advantageous section lamp data = ON before the setting change processing is performed, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit during the execution of the setting change processing. As a result, it is possible to confirm the execution of the suggestion of the advantageous section before being controlled to the setting change state even during control to the setting change state. In the example in which the advantageous section lamp data is set to OFF in the interrupt processing as described above, in the initialization processing of S273, the advantageous section lamp data is set to OFF in addition to setting to the flag during the advantageous section = OFF. It may be set. In this way, after the control to the setting change state is finished, it is possible to surely end the suggestion that the section is the advantageous section by the interrupt processing.

[About the number of outstanding residual G's]
In the present embodiment, in any of the RT states, in the advantageous section, both the advantageous section G number counter and the advantageous remaining G number counter are updated. But,
The present invention is not limited to this, and with regard to the advantage remaining G number counter, the RT state to be updated and RT not to be updated
A state may be provided. Specifically, in an adverse RT state in which the probability of winning a replay is low, the G-counter is not updated while in the advantageous RT state in which the probability of playing a replay is higher than in the adverse RT state, the G-counter is updated. It may be done.

In this way, in any of the RT states, in the advantageous section, the advantageous section G number counter is updated, and further, in the advantageous RT state in which the probability of winning a replay is high
Since the number counter is updated, it is possible to prevent the game's exulsivity in the advantageous section from being excessively enhanced as much as possible, while the advantage remaining G number counter is updated in the disadvantageous RT state where the probability of winning the replay is low. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from becoming unduly disadvantageous as much as possible.

[About result notification]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG.
At timing t15 when the number has reached 1500 games, result notification and freeze are not performed, and then result notification and freeze are performed at timing t16 when the bonus ends. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and result notification and freeze may be performed at the timing when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games during the bonus (the timing t15 in the example shown in FIG. 28B).

In this way, not only when the bonus segment G reaches 1500 games but also when the bonus segment G number reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the result notification is made during the bonus. It can be done properly.

In addition, when the result notification and the freeze are performed at the timing when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the background effect is performed in the advantageous background in the period until the result notification is performed, and the result notification is performed. During the period after the background rendering may be performed in the background normally.

In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the game is still controlled to the game area in the period after the game area G reaches 1,500 games.

[About transition of gaming state]
In the present embodiment, when the player wins the upswing replay in RT3, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, the RT1 transitioning lip is won and the gaming state falls to RT1. Met. However, the present invention is not limited to this, in the case of winning the upswing replay in RT3, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, Lip 1 wins and the gaming state is maintained in RT3. It may be

In the present embodiment, when the in-play replay is won in RT2, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, the RT1 transition ripple is won and the gaming state falls in RT1. there were. However, the present invention is not limited to this, in the case where the winning replay is won in RT2, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information, Lip 1 wins and the gaming state is maintained in RT2. It may be.

[About return destination main state settings]
In the present embodiment, the return destination main state after the end of the bonus is set according to the main state when the bonus is won, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the return main state after the end of the bonus may be set according to the RT state at the time of winning the bonus. Then, during the bonus, a lottery relating to the instruction function may be performed according to the type of return destination main state set according to the RT state.

[About navigation processing]
In this embodiment, in RT0 after the end of the bonus, when the CZ right is granted, navigation is performed when the first push order bell is won, whereas when the AT right is granted, the navigation is performed. The navigation was not performed at the time of the first push order bell winning. However, the present invention is not limited to this, even if the right of CZ is granted or the right of AT is granted at RT0, navigation is performed at the first winning order bell winning, but the second pressing order bell winning In some cases, navigation may be performed when the CZ right is granted, whereas when AT's right is granted, navigation may not be performed until the special view is displayed.

In addition, when the right of AT is granted in RT0, the navigation may not be performed until the special figure is displayed when the push order bell is won.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, when the push order bell is won, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF regardless of whether or not the special view is displayed. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the right of AT is granted in RT0, the advantageous section navigation wait flag may be set to OFF on the condition that the push bell is won and the leading role is displayed. In addition, if the right of AT is granted in RT0, even if the push bell is won and the main character is displayed, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = O until the special view is displayed.
It may be set as FF. Then, on the condition that the special view is displayed, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag may be set to OFF.

[About the state after the bonus]
In the present embodiment, RT0 after the end of the bonus 1 or 2 is always controlled to the advantageous section. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and RT0 after the end of the bonus 1 or 2 may be controlled to the normal section. For example, in the process of FIG. 20, in the case where the main state at the time of winning the bonus = the normal section, the return destination main state may be set to the normal section. In this case, as a transition trigger of the advantageous section, an AT transition that grants the right to directly shift to the AT from the normal section without passing through the CZ may be provided. Then, as described above, when a direct hit replay that can be won only at RT0 is won, a lottery relating to the instruction function is performed, and A
The right of T may be granted. In this way, when the right of CZ is granted at RT0 after the end of the bonus and the normal zone is shifted to CZ, the player wins the AT before moving to RT1 by the display of the special figure at RT0. Expect. On the other hand, when the right of AT is granted by winning the AT transition combination at RT0 after the end of the bonus, and the transition from the normal section to AT occurs, the player quickly gets out of RT0 with low replay probability and is controlled by ART. expect.

Therefore, in this modification, when it is the advantageous section where the right of CZ is granted in RT0, displaying the special view is avoided by notifying the navigation information at the time of winning bell order, and the gaming state is maintained at RT0. On the other hand, when it is an advantageous section in which the right of AT is granted in RT0, a special figure is displayed by not notifying navigation information at the time of pushing order bell, and the gaming state is RT0.
You may migrate from In this way, when the right of CZ is granted in RT0, the player can be expected to win the direct replay by maintaining RT0. On the other hand, when the right of AT is granted in RT0, the player can be expected to be controlled by ART by shifting the gaming state from RT0 to RT3.
