The sub control unit 91 can perform various controls for performing effects in response to the command transmitted from the main control unit 41.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured to change the payout rate of medals according to the set value.
Specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by using the winning probability corresponding to the setting value in the lottery that affects the player's degree of advantage such as internal lottery. Set value is 1 to 6
The payout rate is the highest, and the payout rate decreases as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 6. That is, when 6 is set as the setting value, the degree of advantage is the highest for the player, and the degree of advantage decreases stepwise as the values become smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the setting key switch 37 and then turn on the slot machine 1. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and setting can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38 Transition to the change state. In the setting change state, when the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when the setting value 6 is further operated, the setting value is set to 1 Return). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (set value)
Is stored in the RAM 41 c of the main control unit 41, and the game is progressed to a state where it can be progressed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the specified number of bets that can be set according to the game state is determined, and the game is performed on the condition that the specified number of bets determined according to the game state is set. It is possible to start the In the present embodiment, the pay line LN is activated when the specified number of bets is set according to the game state.

The pay line is a line set to determine whether a combination of symbols displayed in the see-through window 3 of each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is a combination of pay symbols. In the present embodiment, FIG.
As shown in the drawing, only the payline LN set across the middle of the reel 2L, the middle of the reel 2C, and the middle of the reel 2R, that is, the symbols horizontally arranged in the middle is defined as the payline. Although only one pay line is applied in this embodiment, a plurality of pay lines may be applied.

And in this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the case of this embodiment, the pay line LN is always activated, so in the following, it is activated. When a combination of symbols called a combination is aligned on the winning line LN thus obtained is simply referred to as a winning line), a winning is achieved. The role may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

Further, in the present embodiment, in order to make it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols making up the winning combination is complete in the winning line LN, the invalid lines LM1 to 4 (LM1 are the middle right reel in addition to the winning line LN). LM2 is the line across the middle of each of the left middle right reels, LM3 is the line across each lower middle of the left middle right reel, and LM4 is the lower middle of the left reel, and the middle middle of the middle reel. , And the line over the upper stage of the right reel).
Ineffective lines LM1 to 4 are not determined to be winning by a combination of symbols aligned to these ineffective lines LM1 to IV, and when a combination of symbols constituting a specific winning is aligned on the payline LN, an invalid line A combination of symbols serving as an indicator for any of LM1 to 4 (eg, bell-
The arrangement of the bell-bells makes it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting a specific winning combination is complete on the payline LN.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 or the MAX BET switch 6 is operated to set the number of bets using credits. When the specified number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set, the payline LN (see FIG. 1) becomes effective, and the operation of the start switch 7 is effective, that is,
The game is ready to start. When the medal is inserted exceeding the maximum number among the prescribed numbers corresponding to the gaming state, that amount is added to the credit.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, each reel 2L, 2C, 2
R is rotated, and the symbols of the respective reels 2L, 2C, 2R are continuously varied. Reel 2 L, 2
When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while C, 2R is being rotated, stop control is performed on the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and the rotation of the reels is stopped. The symbol of the reel is derived and displayed on the transparent window 3 as a display result.

In the stop control, the reels 2L, 2C, 2 corresponding to the operation within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds in this embodiment)) from when the operation is performed for each stop switch.
Control to stop the rotation of R is performed. The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated 80 per minute, and 80 (rotation) × 21 (number of symbolized symbols per reel, eg, 21 symbols) = 1680 symbols are varied, so the maximum is determined in advance. Until the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, it is possible to draw in symbols for up to four frames. In other words, in stop control, the symbol displayed when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated, and the symbol from 4 frames ahead to the symbol from the symbol of 5 frames in total (draw-in range) Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2R, 2R.

Thereby, in the stop control, when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for the respective reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the winning combination winning in the internal lottery described later is 4 symbols from the symbol when the stop switch is operated
If it is within the lead-in range to the top, the symbol is drawn onto the pay line LN to stop the rotation of the reel on which the stop switch is operated, while the winning combination won in the internal lottery If the symbol to be configured is not within the drawing range, the symbol constituting the winning combination not winning in the internal lottery does not stop on the winning line LN, so does not constitute any winning combination. It is possible to pull in on the pay line LN and to control to stop the rotation of the reel on which the stop switch is operated.

And one game is ended by stopping all reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and a combination of symbols (hereinafter also referred to as a combination) determined in advance on payline LN is each reel 2L, 2C, 2
When the display is stopped as a display result of R, a winning occurs, and the number of medals determined according to the winning is awarded to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in the present embodiment), the medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, on the pay line LN, when the combination of symbols accompanied by the transition of the gaming state is stopped as the display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, it is shifted to the gaming state according to the combination of symbols .

In the present embodiment, the game is started when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected in a state where the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game is ended when all the reels are stopped. In addition, one unit control (game control) for executing a game starts when all the controls associated with the end of the previous game are completed, and when all the controls associated with the end of the game are completed. finish.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the type of winning combination is determined in accordance with the gaming state, and it is possible to start the next game without requiring a small winning combination with payout of medals and setting of the number of bets. And a special role with a transition to a gaming state (special state) advantageous to the player. In the following, the small part and the re-play part are collectively referred to as a general part. In order to generate a winning of each combination determined in accordance with the gaming state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery and to set a winning flag of the combination. In the internal lottery, before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are derived (specifically, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows winning in each of the above-mentioned combinations).
It is determined using a random number at the time of detection of the start switch 7).

Among the winning flags of each combination, the winning flags of the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are made valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and become invalid in the next game, but the winning flag of the special combination is It is valid until the combination of roles accepted by the flag is complete, and is invalid in the game in which the combination of accepted roles is complete. That is, once the special character's winning flag is won,
For example, even if the combination of the roles accepted by the flag can not be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game.

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, the order of stop operation, operation timing) which is determined in advance, small which is more advantageous than the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode The combination and the re-play combination (hereinafter sometimes referred to as AT target combination) can be won. For example, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode determined in advance, the AT target role is a stop mode that is more advantageous than the stop mode in which the stop operation is stopped when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode In the case where the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode determined in advance, it includes a role or the like in which the rate of stopping of the stop mode which is more advantageous than in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode is high. Further, the advantageous stop mode includes not only the stop mode with the awarding of medals, but also the stop mode with the transition to the advantageous game state, the stop mode in which the transition to the disadvantageous game state is avoided, and the like.

The main control unit 41 becomes a notification period in which navigation notification can be performed in which the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result, is notified by the lighting mode of the game assistance indicator 12. Control is possible to the assist time (AT). Main control unit 4
1 starts the control of the AT by giving the player the right to be controlled by the AT, and controls the AT. When the AT control is performed, the navigation notification is executed by winning the AT target combination, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8 that are advantageous to the player.
While reporting the operation mode (for example, pushing order, operation timing, etc.) of R using the game assistance indicator 12, the sub-control unit 9 is a command that can specify the operation mode that is advantageous for the player.
By transmitting to 1, the navigation effect of notifying the operation mode using the liquid crystal display 51 or the like is performed.

[About transition and summary of gaming state]
Next, transitions of gaming states (RT1 to RT3 and BB) controlled by the main control unit 41 and an outline of each gaming state will be described based on FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 receives RT 0 to 3 and bonus (BB).
Control to any of the gaming state of). RT0 is shifted by the promotion replay winning at RT1. And in RT0, regardless of the number of games after shifting to RT0, the game state shifts to RT1 due to the falling replays 1 and 2 winning or the stopping of the shifting outcome, or the special part is won The game state ends when the game state shifts to RT3. The payout rate of medals per game is at least 1 by performing the stop operation in the stop order according to the navigation notification
Over 00%.

The RT1 is shifted by the fall replays 1 and 2 winning at RT0 or the stopping of the transition. In addition, the transition is performed by stopping the transition point at RT2.
Then, regardless of the number of games after the transition to RT1, the RT1 is ended by the transition of the gaming state to RT0 from the winning of the promotion replay or the transition of the gaming state to RT3 by the winning of the special part. . The payout rate of medals per game is less than 100% regardless of whether the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification.

RT2 shifts at the end of the bonus (BB). And, RT2 is ended by the fact that the game state shifts to RT1 by stopping the transition and the game state shifts to RT3 by the winning of the special part regardless of the number of games after the shift to RT2. Do. The payout rate of medals per game is 10 regardless of whether or not the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification.
It becomes less than 0%.

The RT3 is shifted by the winning of the special role (BB) at RT0 to RT3. Then, RT3 ends with the special role that has triggered the transition to RT3 being won regardless of the number of games after the transition to RT3 and the gaming state to transition to the bonus (BB). The payout rate of medals per game is less than 100% regardless of whether the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification.

BB shifts by winning of BB at RT3. BB is a gaming state continuously controlled in RB until a predetermined termination condition (in this embodiment, the number of medals paid out exceeds a prescribed number (for example, 316) in the present embodiment) is established. is there. The RB is a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than other gaming states by increasing the probability of winning a small winning combination in the internal lottery, and when the predetermined number of games predetermined in the RB is digested, or When a predetermined type of winning combination (any type is acceptable) has won a predetermined number of times, this is a gaming state which ends earlier. In RB controlled during BB, the winning combination probability of the small winning combination is higher than the condition not controlled by BB (RB) by making the special winning combination and the re-play combination winning combination in the internal lottery out of lottery selection. It is a probability (1 / 1.0), and the payout rate of medals per game exceeds 100%.

Among RT0 to 3 and BB, BB is the highest in the payout rate of medals per game, and is the most advantageous gaming state. Further, among RT0 to RT0, RT0 and RT3 have a higher probability of winning the replay player combination, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and RT2, in that the player is more than RT1 and RT2. It is an advantageous condition for Also, out of RT0 and RT0, RT0
Is advantageous to the player over RT3 in that the payout rate of medals per game is higher than that for RT3.

In the following, when the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are won, the operation mode in which the middle bell can be reliably generated (when the left bells 1 to 4 are won, When the left first stop operation, middle bell 1 to 4 is won, the middle first stop operation, right bell 1 to 4 when won, the right first stop operation may be referred to as the correct touch order. In addition, when the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are won, winnings are generated by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the corresponding correct order.
A middle bell prize) may be called a specific prize.

Next, reel control performed by the main control unit 41 when the above-described push order replay among the lottery target roles is won in the internal lottery will be described based on FIGS. 12 and 13.

The main control unit 41 performs an orderly replay (replays GR1 to 6, replay G) in an internal lottery.
In reel stop control when any of R11 to R13) is won, replay GR1
The stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in an operation mode (in the present embodiment, in the order of operation) predetermined according to the replay GRs 11 to 13, and the winning combination corresponding to the corresponding operation mode is performed. Control is performed to stop the symbol combination on the pay line LN.

As shown in FIG. 12, for example, when the replay GR1 is won in the internal replay, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the left middle, right and left operation order, they are included in the replay GR1. The stop control of the reel is performed so that the symbols constituting the promotion replay among the winning combinations are drawn to the payline LN and stopped, and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R derive a symbol combination of the promotion replay. On the other hand, the replay GR1 is won, and the stop switch 8
When L, 8C, 8R are operated in the order of operation other than left middle right (in the middle, right, left, middle right left, right left middle, right middle left, right middle left, right middle left), among the winning combinations included in the replay GR1 Stop control of the reel is performed to pull in the symbols that make up the middle level replay to the payline LN and make them stop.
The reel stop control is performed so that the symbol combinations of middle-level replay are derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

Further, even if any one of the replays GR2 to 6 among the push replays is won in the internal lottery, the stop switches 8L and 8C are operated in the operation order according to the replays GR2 to 6 similarly to the case where the replay GR1 is won. , 8R operation, has been won Replay GR2
Stop control of the reel is performed so that the symbols constituting the promotion replay among the winning combinations included in ~ 6 are drawn into the payline LN and stopped, and the symbol combination of the promotion replay is reel 2L
, 2C, 2R. On the other hand, one of the replays GR2 to 6 is won, and the replay G
When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in an operating order other than the operating order according to R2-6, the symbols constituting the middle stage replay among the winning combinations included in the replays 2-6 which are won are displayed. Stop control of the reels to pull in and stop the pay line LN,
The reel stop control is performed so that the symbol combinations of middle-level replay are derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won, by performing the stop operation in the operation order according to the type of the winning combination, the promotion replay always wins, while the winning combination By performing the stop operation in an operation order other than the operation order according to the type of, the middle replay is won. Therefore, when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won, the gaming state can be shifted to RT0 or maintained to RT1 without shifting to RT0 depending on whether or not the operation is performed in the operation order according to the type of winning combination. . In the following, when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won, an operation mode in which middle middle replay can be reliably generated (when the replay GR1 is won, the left middle right,
When Replay GR2 is won, right and left; when Replay GR3 is won, Middle and left, Replay GR
When 4 is won, the middle right / left, when the replay GR5 is won, may be called right middle right, and when the replay GR6 is elected, right middle, left) may be referred to as the correct pressing order.

As shown in FIG. 13, for example, when the replay GR 11 is won in the internal-order lottery in the internal lottery and the left first stop operation is performed, the middle replay among the winning combinations included in the replay GR 11 is configured. Stop control of the reels is performed so that the symbols are drawn into the payline LN and stopped, and the symbol combinations of middle-level replay are derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.
On the other hand, when the replay GR11 is won and the first middle stop operation is performed, the replay GR1 is performed.
The stop control of the reel is performed so that the symbols constituting the fall replay 1 among the winning combinations included in 1 are drawn into the pay line LN and stopped, and the symbol combination of the fall replay 1 is reeled 2
Stop control of the reel is performed so that L, 2C, 2R can be led out, and when the first right stop operation is performed, the symbols constituting the fall replay 2 among the winning combinations included in the replay GR11 are the winning line LN The reel stop control is performed so that the reel combination is dropped to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and the reel stop control is performed.

Further, also in the case where either Replay GR12 or Replay GR13 is won in the pushing order Replay in the internal lottery, the Replay GR is the same as when Replay GR11 is won.
11. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the order of operation according to the replay GR13, the symbols constituting the middle replay among the winning combinations included in the replay GR11 being won and the replay GR13 are displayed on the prize line Stop control of the reels is performed so as to pull in the LN and stop, and the symbol combinations of middle-level replay are derived to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.
On the other hand, when any one of the replays GR11 and GR13 is won, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in an operation order other than the operation order according to the replay GR11 and the replay GR13, the elected replays GR11 The reel stop control is performed so that the symbols constituting fall falls Replay 1 or Fall Replay 2 among the winning combinations included in the replay GR 13 are pulled into the pay line LN and stopped, and symbols of the fall falls Replay 1 or Fall Replay 2 The stop control of the reels is performed so that the combination is led to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when any one of the replays GR11 to GR13 is won, the middle rank replay always wins by performing the stop operation in the operation order according to the type of the winning combination. By performing the stop operation in an operation order other than the operation order according to the type of, the fall replay 1 or the fall replay 2 is won. Therefore, when the replays GR11 to 13 are won, the gaming state can be shifted to RT1 or maintained to RT0 without shifting to RT1 depending on whether or not the operation is performed in the operation order according to the type of winning combination. . Below, Replay GR11
An operation mode (in which the middle replay can be reliably generated when ~ 13 are won)
When the replay GR 11 is won, the left first stop operation, when the replay GR 12 is won, the middle first stop operation, when the replay GR 13 is won, may be referred to as the correct touch order.

[About control of AT]
As described above, the main control unit 41 can perform navigation notification to notify the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that are advantageous to the player using the gaming assistance display 12 in the control of the AT. It is. In the present embodiment, among the lottery target roles, a push order bell (left bell,
Middle bell, right bell) and push order Replay (Replay GR1 to 6, Replay GR11 to 13)
Is an AT target combination for which navigation notification is performed under control of the AT, and navigation notification is performed when the AT target combination is won in the internal lottery during control of the AT.

The main control unit 41 controls the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R to be advantageous for the player if the push order bell among the AT target roles is won in the internal lottery during the control of the AT, as the middle stage. Stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R capable of winning a bell
Report the order of operation of

In addition, the main control unit 41 is advantageous for the player when the gaming state is RT1 during the control of the AT, and the replays GR1 to 6 among the push target replays among the AT target roles in the internal lottery. As an operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, an operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R capable of winning a winning combination in which the gaming state is shifted to RT0 by promotion replay, that is, winning is notified. Also, the gaming state is RT0,
In the case where the replays GR 11 to 13 are among the push replays among the AT target roles in the internal lottery, as an operation mode of the stop switches 8 L, 8 C, 8 R which is advantageous for the player,
The middle replay, that is, the operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R capable of winning a winning combination whose gaming state is maintained at RT0 is notified.

Further, the main control unit 41 transmits a command capable of specifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R notified by the navigation notification to the sub control unit 91 in the navigation notification control. The sub-control unit 91 is capable of performing a navigation effect to notify the operation mode notified by the navigation notification based on the command in a discriminable manner using the liquid crystal display 51, the speakers 53, 54, etc. . On the other hand, when the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R notified by the navigation notification about the AT target combination is specified based on the command received from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 Control the production.

In the control of the navigation effect, the stop order advantageous for the player notified by the navigation notification is notified by the display of the navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and the output of the navigation voice from the speakers 53, 54. For example, when notifying the stop order of left middle, right and left, “123” (the left reel is the first
The stop order image showing the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is displayed, indicating that the middle reel is the second stop and the right reel is the third stop). Also, as a navigation voice,
For example, a sound indicating the stop order of the stop switch such as “left middle right!” (The left reel indicates the first stop, the middle reel indicates the second stop, and the right reel indicates the third stop) is output. In addition, when notifying the stop order of making the left reel the first stop, it indicates the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R such as "1-" (indicating that the left reel is the first stop). Display stop order images. Also, as a navigation voice, for example, a voice indicating the stop order of stop switches such as “left!” (Indicating that the left reel is in the first stop) (indicating that the left reel is in the first stop) is output Do. The mode of the navi effect is not limited to such a mode, and may be any mode as long as the player can distinguish according to the winning situation. Further, the navigation effect is not limited to those using the liquid crystal display 51 and the speakers 53 and 54, but may be performed using the effect effect LED 52, the reel LED 55, and the like.

As described above, in the navigation notification and the navigation effect, when any one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won in RT1, the stop order in which the promotion replay is won is identifiably alerted, and any one of the replays GR11 to 13 is won in RT0. When it is done, the stop order in which middle stage replay wins is notified in a distinguishable manner, and when the push order bell is won in both RT1 and RT0, the game state and the play order are notified in a distinguishable manner. A stop order that is advantageous to the player is notified in an identifiable manner according to the type of winning combination. Therefore, the player intentionally performs an R operation by performing the stop operation in the stop order according to the navigation notification and the navigation effect.
It is possible to win the promotion replay at T1 and shift to RT0, to be able to win the middle bell, to be able to win middle replay at RT0 and maintain RT0, to avoid the fall replay, to win the middle bell. It is possible to avoid the stop of the transition appearance, to win the middle bell at RT2, and to avoid the stop of the transition appearance.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether to control to the AT by internal lottery.
Then, when the main control unit 41 wins the AT by the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 goes through the precursory period and AT
Control. After starting control of AT, the state until it transfers to RT0 is also called a preparation state. The main control unit 41 executes navigation notification when the AT target combination is won in the preparation state.
Under the present circumstances, in RT1 the navigation notification is targeted when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won, and the navigation notification of the stop order for winning the promotion replays when the replays GR1 to 6 are won is notified by the navigation notification. Make promotion play a prize by performing operation R
It is possible to shift from T1 to RT0. In addition, after transitioning to the preparation state, the stop order for winning the middle bell is notified when the push order bell is won, so eight medals can be reliably acquired by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. It becomes possible.

The main control unit 41 ends the preparation state when the promotion replay is won in RT1 and shifts to RT0. Along with this, the main control unit 41 sets the predetermined game number as the AT remaining game number allocated to the RAM 91 c, and starts counting the AT remaining game number. Even after transitioning to RT0, the stop order for winning the middle bell at the time of winning the push order bell is notified, so that eight medals can be reliably acquired by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order As well as being possible, it is possible to avoid stopping the transition and stop transitioning to RT1. Further, after transitioning to RT0, since the stop order for winning middle replay is notified when the replays GR11 to 13 are won, the fall replay is avoided by performing the stop operation in accordance with the informed stop order It can avoid moving to RT1.

In addition, after the start of AT, the number of remaining games is decremented by 1 each time one game is consumed, and when the number of remaining games becomes 0, the control of AT is ended. Since the navigation notification is not executed along with this, avoiding the stop of the transition appearance when the push order bell is won, Replay GR1
It becomes impossible to avoid the fall replay replay winning at the time of winning of 1 to 13, and the control of a series of ATs is ended by shifting to RT1 by stopping the transition appearance or the fall replay win. In addition, after the start of the AT, if the addition of the remaining game number of AT is won in the internal lottery before the remaining game number becomes 0, the number of winning games is added to the remaining game number of AT.

If the special combination is won before the number of remaining games reaches 0 after the start of the AT, the AT is interrupted at the end of RT0, and the counting of the number of AT games is also interrupted accordingly. If the special part is won during AT and the AT is interrupted, then, after the winning special part is won, control is made to the corresponding bonus, and the transition outcome is stopped at RT2 transitioning after the bonus ends, and RT1
At the point of transition to, the control of the AT is resumed, and the count of the number of remaining AT games is resumed by transitioning to RT0 after passing through the preparation state.

Further, the main control unit 41 is configured to notify the stop order in which the middle bell wins by navigation notification when the push order bell during AT is won, and performs the stop operation ignoring the informed stop order. In this case, the upper bell may be won and RT0 may be maintained, but there may be a case where the transition outcome is stopped and the transition to RT1 occurs. In addition, when the replays GR11 to 13 are won, if a stop operation is performed ignoring the notified halt order, the fall fall replay will be won and it will shift to RT1. If the AT shifts from RT0 to RT1 during AT, the AT continues, and the number of remaining AT games is decremented by 1 each time one game is consumed, as in the preparation state, RT
A notification will be given by navigation notification of the stopping order for winning the promotion replays when the replays 1 to 6 in 1 are won, and by performing the stopping operation according to the notified stopping order, winning promotion promotion and making a transition from RT1 to RT0 It is possible.

[About control of the effect performed by the sub control unit]
Next, the execution mode of the effect which the sub control part 91 performs is demonstrated based on FIGS. 14-17.

The sub control unit 91 can be controlled to perform effects in a rendering mode according to the game state specified based on various commands received from the main control unit 41, the control state related to the AT, etc. As effects according to the control state and the like regarding AT and AT, for example, it is possible to perform normal effects (refer to FIG. 14), effects during ART preparation (refer to FIG. 15), and effects during ART (refer to FIG. 16).

The normal effect is an effect that is mainly executed when the control state of the main control unit 41 regarding the AT is not the control of the AT, and when the control of the AT is not performed, It is executed whether the gaming state on the main control unit 41 side is any one of RT1, RT2 and RT3. As shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b), in the normal effect, mainly a predetermined character image A (in the present embodiment, an image where the character A walks) and a predetermined background image A (in the present embodiment, the cityscape Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the main control unit 41 suggests that the control state related to the AT is controlled to the normal state.

The ART preparation effect is an effect executed when the control state of the main control unit 41 regarding the AT is the above-described preparation state, and when the control state of the AT is the preparation state, the main control unit 41 side is It is executed whether the gaming state in the game is RT1 or RT2. As shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), in the ART preparation process, a predetermined character image B is displayed.
(In the present embodiment, an image that the character A flies) and a predetermined background image B (in the present embodiment,
The main control unit 41 controls the AT by causing the liquid crystal display 51 to display an aerial image) and a character image (in the present embodiment, a character image of "about preparing for ART" in this embodiment). It indicates that the control state related to is being controlled to the preparation state.

During ART, an effect is an effect that is executed when the control state related to the AT in the main control unit 41 is ART (a state in which the AT is controlled and the gaming state is controlled to RT0),
Once ART is started, as long as control of AT is continued, the gaming state is RT0, R
It is executed regardless of which gaming state of T1 or RT2. As shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, in ART during rendering, a predetermined character image C (in the present embodiment, an image on which the character A flies) and a predetermined background image C (in the present embodiment, in space) Image), information about AT (AT
A character image that suggests the number of remaining games of and the total number of medals paid out during AT
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls the control state related to the AT to ART by causing the liquid crystal display 51 to display the “remaining 125 G”, “120 sheets GET”, and “128 sheets GET” character images). It is meant to indicate that it is being done.

The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment displays an image that the character A walks with the background image A (cityscape) in the normal effect, and an image in which the character A flies with the background image B (air) in the ART preparation effect. Is displayed, and in ART during rendering, by displaying the image that character A flies with background image C (space), there is a series of relationships when rendering during ART is performed after rendering during ART preparation from ART. It is designed to perform along the flow. Specifically, the character A, which has been walking in the city, flies away, travels through the air, and reaches the outer space to start an ART. Then, in the ART during the production, the presentation related to the AT such as the navigation presentation is performed along the theme related to the space.

Then, after the in-ART presentation is started, the number of remaining AT games becomes 0, and the AT control is interrupted by winning the special part during the period until the AT control is ended or during the ART. The presentation during ART is continued for a period of If the control of the AT is interrupted by winning of the special part during ART, control of the AT is started when the control of the BB transferred by the winning of the special part is ended. And again, after preparing for ART, AR
When the transition to T is made, and after the end of BB, when the state of preparation for ART is controlled again, the above-mentioned ART in-provisional effect is performed again, and then, when transitioning to ART, A
The production during RT is to be resumed.

In addition, during the execution of the ART during the execution, when the AT target combination is elected, an operation mode that is advantageous for the player according to the AT combination that was won (for example, the order of operation to win the middle bell when the push bell is won) The navigation effect is suggested that suggests the operation order of winning middle replay at the time of winning the push replay. As shown in FIG. 16A, in the navi effect, for example, when the right bell is selected among the pushing order bells, the pushing order image showing the operation order for winning the middle bell, ie, the first right stop operation (in the present embodiment) , And "3" corresponding to the left reel, "3" corresponding to the middle reel, and "3" corresponding to the right reel are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and a voice indicating the first right stop operation (this In the embodiment, by outputting the sound of “right!” From the speakers 53 and 54,
The operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the right first stop operation is urged.

The sub-control unit 91, for example, as a prize effect for notifying that a predetermined combination has been won, when it is specified that a predetermined execution condition to be described later is satisfied, based on a command received from the main control unit 41. , Normal winning a prize (see FIG. 14 (b)) or specific winning a prize (FIG. 16 (b
) Can be performed.

In the normal winning effect, the symbol combination of a predetermined winning combination, for example, the symbol combination of the middle bell is the payline L when the control state regarding the AT is a normal state (a state where the control of AT is not performed)
It stops at N and is executed when a winning occurs, and notifies that the predetermined combination has won. Figure 1
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), in the normal winning effect, for example, the pushing order bell is won in the internal lottery,
When the stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order, the symbol combination of the middle bell is stopped on the pay line LN, and when the middle bell is won, the LED of the portion corresponding to the pay line LN in the reel LED 55 (LEDs that can illuminate the middle of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R from the back side)
Is controlled to blink to notify the winning of the middle bell. In addition, when the middle bell is to be won, the control is made to output a predetermined normal winning sound (in the present embodiment, the sound of the bell) from the speakers 53 and 54, whereby the middle bell is to be won. Inform.

Although not particularly illustrated, in the control of the normal winning effect, the reel L according to the winning combination that has won even when a win other than the middle bell occurs when the control state related to the AT is the normal state.
By controlling the ED 55 to blink and controlling the normal winning sound to be output from the speakers 53 and 54, it is possible to notify of the winning.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the control of the normal winning effect, the occurrence of the winning is notified by controlling to blink the reel LED 55 when the predetermined winning combination is hit, but the occurrence of the winning is normally reported. In the control of the prize effect, it is possible to be visible from the player side at predetermined positions such as the LED or the case 1a of the slot machine 1 and the front door 1b etc. visible from the player side provided around the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. When a predetermined winning combination occurs, the light emitting means such as LEDs provided has a luminescent color according to the type of the winning combination (for example, yellow for small winning combination, blue for re-playing combination, etc.) It may be configured to notify the occurrence of a winning by controlling to turn on at.

In the special winning effect, when the control state regarding the AT is ART, the symbol combination of the middle bell is stopped at the payline LN by the stop operation being performed in the pushing order notified by the navigation effect when the pushing order bell is won. Then, it is executed when the middle bell is won, and notifies that the middle bell is hit. As shown in FIG. 16 (b), in the specific winning effect, the push order bell is won in the internal lottery, and the stop operation is performed in the correct push order, and the symbol combination of the middle bell is stopped at the pay line LN. When the middle bell is to be awarded, the specific winning image (in the present embodiment, the background image A for the normal effect (cityscape) or the background image B for the ART preparation in progress is less relevant) To control the liquid crystal display 51 to display the image of the character A and the character image of “GET” having an item (star) highly related to the background image C (space) in the ART. It is suggested that the middle bell's winnings have occurred because the stop operation was performed in the correct order in the correct order. In addition, when the middle bell is to be won, the speaker 5 may use a specific winning sound (in the present embodiment, a voice of “GET ̃!”) Different from the above-mentioned normal winning sound.
By controlling the output from 3 and 54, the middle bell is notified of winning.

In the specific winning presentation, as the specific winning image, the background image A for normal production and the background image B for ART in preparation are low in relativity but the item having high relevance to the background image C in ART for presentation (
The image including the image of the character A having a star) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and compared with the degree of relevancy with the normal rendition and the ART preparation in progress, the relevancy with the rendition during the ART The degree is high. Also, in the specific winning a prize, sound corresponding to the character image (“GET ̃!”) Displayed in the specific winning image is output from the speakers 53 and 54 as the specific winning sound, and the stop operation is performed in the correct pressing order. Also by suggesting that the middle bell has been awarded by being performed, the degree of relevancy with ART during production is increased compared to the degree of relevancy with the normal rendition and the ART in preparation. It has become.

As shown in FIG. 17, the main control unit 41 is a non-AT not controlled by the AT, and a state in which the gaming state is controlled to any one of RT0, RT1 and RT2, and a preparation state of ART, And, it is possible to control in a state of controlling to RT2, in a state of preparing for ART, and in a state of controlling to RT1, in a state of ART and controlling to RT0,
It is possible to perform a regular winning effect or a specific winning effect as the winning effect.

And it is a non-AT not controlled by AT, and the gaming state is RT0, RT1, RT2
In the state of being controlled to any of the above, when the push order bell is won in the internal lottery and the middle bell wins, the regular winning effect is executed but the specific winning effect is not executed. In addition, a state of preparation for ART and a state of controlling to RT2, and a state of preparation for ART, and RT
In the state where it is controlled to 1, when the push order bell is won in the internal lottery and the middle bell is won, neither the normal winning effect nor the specific winning effect is executed. Also, it is ART and RT0
In the state where it controls to, when the order bell is won in the internal lottery and the middle bell wins,
Although a normal winning a prize is not performed, a specific winning a prize is performed.

Further, as the control related to the specific winning effect, the main control unit 41 performs the stop operation in the pressing order notified by the navigation effect after the control state regarding the AT is ART and the winning order bell is won. Therefore, even if the middle bell symbol combination is stopped on the pay line LN and the middle bell winning combination occurs, the period from when the pushing bell is won to when the middle bell symbol combination stops After the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped and the power supply is resumed, when a middle bell prize is generated, control is performed so as not to execute the specific prize effect. Thereby, when the power supply to the slot machine 1 is resumed, the sub control unit 91 specifies the control state of the effect before the stop of the power supply, and executes the specific winning game effect according to the control state. Since it is not necessary to perform processing to determine whether or not
It is possible to reduce the processing load of the control of the effects related to the AT in 1.

[Flow of control of gaming state and control state related to AT by main control unit and control of effect by sub control unit]
Next, the control of the gaming state and the control state regarding the AT performed by the main control unit and the flow of control of the effects performed by the sub control unit will be described based on FIGS. 18 and 19.

As shown in FIG. 18, the main control unit 41 mainly controls the gaming state to RT1 when controlling the control state related to the AT to the non-AT.

On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 is controlled to the non-AT and RT1 on the main control unit 41 side, the sub control unit 91 controls the effect mode to the normal effect. Then, when the push order bell is won in the internal lottery, the stop operation is performed in the correct push order, and the middle bell is won, the normal prize effect is executed.

Then, when the main control unit 41 controls the non-AT and the RT1, when the right to be controlled by the AT is won in the AT lottery, the control of the AT is started and the control state regarding the AT is ART. Transition to the ready state of

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 sets the ART preparation state and RT on the main control unit 41 side.
If it is controlled to 1, then the rendering mode is controlled to be in preparation for ART preparation. Then, when the pushing order bell is won in the internal lottery and the stop operation is performed in the correct pushing order and the middle bell is won, neither the normal winning effect nor the specific winning effect is executed.

Thereafter, when the main control unit 41 controls the preparation state of the ART and the RT1, the replays GR1 to GR6 are won in the internal lottery, and the stop replay is performed in the correct order and the promotion replay is won In addition to shifting the gaming state to RT0, the control state regarding AT is A
Migrate to RT.

On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 is controlled to ART and RT0 on the side of the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 controls the rendering mode to ART during rendering. Then, when the push order bell is won in the internal lottery, the stop operation is performed in the correct push order, and the middle bell is won, the specific winning prize effect is executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, when controlling the gaming state to BB, the main control unit 41 controls the control state relating to AT to non-AT.

On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 is controlled to BB on the side of the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 controls the rendering mode to be during BB during the BB. Then, when a small winning combination occurs during BB, a normal winning effect is performed to notify that a small winning combination has occurred. In addition, when a small winning combination occurs in BB, it may be configured to perform a winning effect which is performed only when a small winning combination occurs in BB in a mode different from the normal winning effect and the specific winning effect.

Then, when the right to be controlled by AT during AT lottery is won during the BB, the main control unit 41 establishes the ending condition of the BB and ends the control of the BB, whereby the gaming state is displayed. Shift to RT2 and start control of AT to control the control state of AT
Transition to the preparation state of T. In addition, the main control unit 41 has won a special part during ART,
Even when RT is interrupted and control of BB is performed, when ending control of the BB, the gaming state is shifted to RT2 and control of AT is restarted, and control state regarding AT is prepared for ART. Transition to the state.

On the other hand, the sub control unit 91 sets the ART preparation state and RT on the main control unit 41 side.
When being controlled to 2, it controls the production feature to production during ART preparation. Then, when the pushing order bell is won in the internal lottery and the stopping operation is performed in the correct pushing order and the middle bell is won, control is performed so as not to execute the regular winning effect and the specific winning effect.

After that, when the main control unit 41 controls the preparation state of the ART and the RT2 and the push order bell is won in the internal lottery, the main control unit 41 does not execute the navigation notification and thus the push order other than the correct push order. A stop operation is performed to urge the transition outcome to be derived. Then, the game state is shifted to RT1 by deriving the transition outcome. In addition, when it controls to the preparation state and RT2 of ART, pushing order bell is won by internal lottery, the stop operation is performed by correct pushing order and the symbol combination of middle bell is derived, The medals of the prescribed payout number will be paid out with the bell's winning, but the gaming state will be maintained at RT2 and transition to the gaming state RT1, RT0 unless a transition score is derived at the time of the winning order bell. Therefore, the preparation state of ART will be continued.

On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 receives the push order bell in the internal lottery and the stop operation is performed in the correct push order and the middle bell wins, the normal prize effect and the specific win effect are not executed. Control. Further, after the gaming state has been shifted to RT1 on the main control unit 41 side, the effect mode which was being performed when it is RT2 is continued, and control is performed so that ART-in-provision effect is also continued in RT2. Thereby, when the control state regarding AT is controlled to the preparation state of ART on the main control unit 41 side, and the gaming states are RT1 and RT2, a common ART preparation effect is performed by the sub control unit 91. It is supposed to be

Thereafter, when the main control unit 41 controls the preparation state of the ART and the RT1, the replays GR1 to GR6 are won in the internal lottery, and the stop replay is performed in the correct order and the promotion replay is won In addition to shifting the gaming state to RT0, the control state regarding AT is A
Migrate to RT.

On the other hand, when the sub control unit 91 is controlled to ART and RT0 on the side of the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 controls the rendering mode to ART during rendering. Then, when the push order bell is won in the internal lottery, the stop operation is performed in the correct push order, and the middle bell is won, the specific winning prize effect is executed.

As described above, when the control state regarding AT is non-AT and the gaming state is BB, sub-control unit 91 performs the AT when the control state regarding AT is non-AT and the gaming state is RT1. The control state regarding is the preparation state of ART, the gaming state is RT1 or RT
When it is 2, the specific winning prize effect is not executed. On the other hand, when the control state relating to the AT is ART and the gaming state is RT0, the specific winning a prize is performed.

In addition, the sub control unit 91 has a non-AT control state regarding AT and a gaming state of BB.
In the case where the control state regarding the AT is non-AT and the gaming state is RT1, the normal winning a prize is executed. On the other hand, when the control state regarding AT is the preparation state of ART and the gaming state is RT1 or RT2, the normal winning effect is not executed when the control state regarding AT is ART and the gaming state is RT0. It has become.

Further, in the sub-control unit 91, the main control unit 41 side is in a state where the control state regarding AT is the preparation state of ART and is controlled to the gaming state RT2, and the control state regarding AT is A.
In the preparation state of RT and in the state controlled by the gaming state RT1, the common AR
The process when the sub control unit 91 performs the effect, since the effect mode is controlled to the effect during T preparation, and the control for causing the effect to be performed in the effect mode according to each state is not performed. It is possible to reduce the load.

[About the effect]
As a conventional slot machine, there is a slot machine which is controlled to a plurality of states, and a winning player who wins on the condition that the pressing order is correct in any state can be won.

In the slot machine having such a configuration, although the pushing order may be won in any state, the effects for each state at the time of winning the pushing order are not considered at all.

On the other hand, the slot machine 1 of this embodiment is in the ART preparation state as the first state,
The symbol combination of the middle bell is derived from the main control unit 41 that can be controlled to the control state related to a plurality of ATs including ART as the second state transitioning via the first state, and the reels 2L, 2C, 2R The symbol combination of the middle bell is a symbol combination that can be derived both in the first state and in the second state, and the sub control portion 91 While the symbol combination in the middle bell is derived in the second state ART, the specific winning effect is executed, while the symbol combination in the middle bell is derived in the preparation state of the first state ART. It is the composition which does not execute the specific winning a prize production.

According to this configuration, the symbol combination of the middle bell can be derived even during the preparation state of the first state ART and also during the second state of transition through the first state, and the second state During ART, which is a symbol combination of middle bell is derived, while specific prize effect is executed, during the preparation state of ART which is the first state, even if the symbol combination of middle bell is derived, specific prize effect Does not execute, so it is clearly recognized whether the current gaming state is the first state or the second state depending on whether or not the specific winning combination is executed when the middle bell symbol combination is derived. It can be done.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment can execute the specific winning effect when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived from the main control unit 41 which performs stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R and the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Sub-control unit 91, and the sub-control unit 91 is in the second state.
In particular, the special winning effect is executed when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived, but the special winning effect is not executed even if the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived during the preparation state of the ART which is the first state In the configuration, the main control unit 41 determines that the internal lottery determination result is a push order bell (left bell, middle bell, right bell), and an operation mode (left first stop operation, middle 1 st corresponding to the push order bell). When the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated by the stop operation (first right stop operation), control is made to derive the symbol combination of the middle bell to the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and the operation mode corresponding to the pushing order bell When the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in an operation mode other than the symbol combination of the middle bell symbol combination (the symbol combination or transition appearance of the winning upper bell) is reel 2L 2C, a configuration which performs control of derived 2R.

According to this configuration, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the operation mode corresponding to the pushing order bell, the determination result of the internal lottery becomes the pushing order bell, and the sub winning combination is displayed by the sub control unit 91. Whether it is executed or not can clearly recognize whether the current gaming state is in the preparation state of the first state ART or in the second state ART.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can be controlled to control states relating to a plurality of ATs including a preparation state of ART as a first state and an ART as a second state transitioning via the first state. , The reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and the main control unit 41 that performs stop control of the reels 2, the first state is a predetermined state, the control state related to the AT is the preparation state of ART, and the gaming state is RT2 and the specific state As the control state regarding the AT is the preparation state of ART and the gaming state is the state of RT1, the main control section 41 becomes the pushing order bell (left bell, middle bell, right bell) as the determination result of the internal lottery Other than the middle bell symbol combination when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the pushing order bell which has been won in the internal lottery As a display result, control is performed so that the transition outcome can be derived, and the transition outcome is derived in the state where the ART is in a predetermined state and the gaming state is RT2, so that the ART of the particular state is The configuration is such that control is made to the ART that is the second state by controlling to be in the preparation state and the gaming state is RT1 and the transition condition is satisfied by the promotion replay winning in the specific state, and the sub control The part 91 executes the specific winning effect when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the second state ART, while the symbol combination of the middle bell is in the first state of the ART preparation state. Even if it is derived, the specific winning prize is not executed.

According to this configuration, in the preparation state of ART which is the predetermined state among the first states, and in the state where the gaming state is RT2, when the derivation of the pushing order bell is permitted in the internal lottery, the middle bell is AR that is a specific state by deriving the transition score without deriving the symbol combination of
It is possible to shift to a state of being in the preparation state of T and having a gaming state of RT1 and thereby to shift to the second state ART, but even if the middle bell symbol combination is derived in a predetermined state Since the specific winning effect is not executed, the symbol combination of the middle bell should be derived which is not transferred to the specific state which can be shifted to the second state which is advantageous for the player in the predetermined state. It is possible to prevent misunderstanding.

The main control unit 41 of the slot machine 1 of this embodiment operates the operation corresponding to the pushing order bell which is won when the determination result of the internal lottery is the pushing order bell (left bell, middle bell, right bell). It is possible to perform navigation notification that can identify the mode (left first stop operation, middle first stop operation, right first stop operation), it is a preparation state of ART as a predetermined state, and the gaming state is RT2 In a certain state, the operation mode corresponding to the pushing order bell which has been won at the time of winning the pushing order bell is not notified, but in the state of preparation of ART as a specific state and the gaming state is RT1, It is the structure which alert | reports the operation aspect corresponding to the pushing order bell currently elected at the time of the election of a back bell.

According to this configuration, when the predetermined state is the ART preparation state, and the gaming state is RT2, the operation mode corresponding to the pushing order bell is not notified, and the internal lottery is selected. The operation in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the forward bell is prompted, and the transition outcome is derived as much as possible, and a transition is made to a state of ART preparation as a specific state and a gaming state of RT1. In the specific state where it is not necessary to derive the transition part while making it easy, the operation combination corresponding to the pushing order bell which has been won by the internal lottery is notified by the navigation notification, and the symbol combination of the middle bell is made Can be derived reliably.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment controls effects by a plurality of main control units 41 that can be controlled to a plurality of gaming states including a first state and a second state transitioning via the first state. A sub control unit 91 is provided, the first state is a preparation state of ART as a predetermined state, and the gaming state is R
The sub control unit 91 is configured to be able to execute a common ART in-provision effect in a predetermined state and a specific state, including the state of T2 and the preparation state of ART as a specific state and the gaming state is RT1. It is.

According to this configuration, the predetermined state is the preparation state of ART, and the gaming state is the state of RT2 and the specific state is the preparation state of ART, and the state of the gaming state is RT1. By executing the common ART preparation in preparation, it is not necessary to perform the rendition according to each state, so that the processing load when the sub control unit 91 performs rendition can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 of the slot machine 1 sets the ART in the preparation state as the first state, the ART as the second state, and the third state in which the transition is made via the first state.
It is controllable to the control state regarding a plurality of AT including non-AT which is not controlled by T, and the sub control unit 91 is a specific winning when the middle bell symbol combination is derived in the second state ART. While the effect is executed, the special winning effect is not executed even if the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the preparation state of ART which is the first state, and the sub-control unit 91 is in the third state. During the non-AT, while the normal winning a prize effect of notifying the winning is executed by the occurrence of the general winning combination, the middle bell during the preparation state of the ART which is the first state and in the ART which is the second state. When the symbol combination of is derived, the normal winning effect is not performed. That is, the sub control unit 91 determines that the winning combination is achieved when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the first state. Although a configuration in which also usually winning director does not run specific winning director,
The sub control unit 91 may be configured to be able to execute a normal prize effect as a prize effect when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the first state, or when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the first state The special winning effect of the effect mode different from the normal winning effect and the specific winning effect may be executed.

In such a configuration, it is clearly determined whether the current gaming state is the first state or the second state depending on whether or not the specific winning prize effect is executed when the middle bell symbol combination is derived. While being able to recognize, even when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the first state, a normal winning effect or a special winning effect different from the specific winning effect is executed, so the first

It may be a configuration that can be executed, or, as shown in the second modification in FIG. 20, in a state of preparation of ART as a predetermined state of the first states and in a state where the gaming state is RT2, as a prize effect In the state of preparation of the ART as a specific state and the gaming state is RT1 while the normal winning effect is not executed, the normal winning effect is executed as a winning effect when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived. It may be a possible configuration. Even in such a configuration, the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the second state while the specific control of the middle bell is not performed when the sub control unit 91 derives the symbol combination of the middle bell in the first state. When the specific winning effect is executed as the winning effect, as in the configuration of the present embodiment, it is currently determined whether the specific winning effect is executed when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived. It is possible to clearly recognize whether the gaming state of the game is the first state or the second state, and also when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the first state, the normal winning prize is executed Thus, the player can be made aware that the middle bell symbol combination has been derived in the first state.

In addition, for example, as shown in the third modification in FIG. 20, among the first states, the sub control unit 91 is configured to be able to execute special winning effects when a symbol combination of middle bell is derived in the first state. Of the predetermined state (the state of preparation of the ART and the state of the game being RT2)
And in any state of the specific state (the state of ART preparation and the state of the game being RT1), even when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived, the special prize effect can be executed as a prize effect Good, as shown in the fourth modification in FIG. 20, in a predetermined state in the first state, the special winning effect is not executed as a winning effect, while in the specific state, the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived The special winning effect may be executed as a winning effect when it is determined. Even in such a configuration, the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the second state while the specific control of the middle bell is not performed when the sub control unit 91 derives the symbol combination of the middle bell in the first state. When the specific winning effect is executed as the winning effect, as in the configuration of the present embodiment, it is currently determined whether the specific winning effect is executed when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived. It is possible to clearly recognize whether the gaming state of the game is the first state or the second state, and also in the first state, when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived, the special prize effect is executed. Thus, the player can be made aware that the middle bell symbol combination has been derived in the first state.

Further, for example, as shown in the fifth modification of FIG. 20, the sub control unit 91 can execute either the normal winning effect or the special winning effect when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the first state. In the first state, in the predetermined state, when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived, it is possible to execute the normal prize effect as a prize effect, while in the specific state,
When the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived, the special winning effect may be executed as the winning effect. Even in such a configuration, the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the second state while the specific control of the middle bell is not performed when the sub control unit 91 derives the symbol combination of the middle bell in the first state. When the specific winning effect is executed as the winning effect, as in the configuration of the present embodiment, it is currently determined whether the specific winning effect is executed when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived. It is possible to clearly recognize whether the gaming state of the game is the first state or the second state, and also when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the first state, a normal prize effect or a special prize Since the effect is executed, the player can be made to recognize that the symbol combination of the middle bell has been derived in the first state.

Further, for example, as shown in the sixth modification of FIG. 20, the sub control unit 91 is configured to be able to execute the special winning effect when the middle control symbol combination is derived in the first state. Special prize effect 1 and special prize effect 2 of different effect modes can be executed as the special prize effect, and in a predetermined state in the first state, the special prize as a prize effect when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived While the effect 1 may be executed, in the specific state, the special winning effect 2 may be executed as the effect when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived. Even in such a configuration, the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived in the second state while the specific control of the middle bell is not performed when the sub control unit 91 derives the symbol combination of the middle bell in the first state. When the specific winning effect is executed as the winning effect, as in the configuration of the present embodiment, it is currently determined whether the specific winning effect is executed when the symbol combination of the middle bell is derived. Game state is the first state or the second state,
