In this embodiment, the section indicator 13b is turned on during the advantageous section from the next game in which the transition to the advantageous section is determined based on the winning of the RBB role or the predetermined small combination, and the advantageous section is ended. The section indicator 13b is turned off when the next game is in the normal section.

  Next, control processing units constituting the slot machine S of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main control processing unit 100 is provided inside the housing 1 and includes a main CPU, a main ROM, and a main RAM. In the main control processing unit 100, the inserted medal sensor 8a for detecting the passage of the medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 8, the start lever 9, each stop button 10 to 12, the main monitor 13, the reel unit 30 (reel 5 to 7) And other devices (not shown) are connected.

  The main CPU executes the program stored in the main ROM based on the fact that the main control processing unit 100 receives the signal from each device connected to the main control processing unit 100 and the signal from the timer counter (not shown). It reads out and executes various processing, and transmits a command to the sub control processing unit 200 according to the result of the processing.

  In the main RAM, a game information storage area 150 for storing information on a game is constructed, and functions as a work area of data at the time of processing of the main CPU. For example, in the slot machine S of this embodiment, a right (hereinafter referred to as a navigation right) for causing the gaming information storage area 150 to execute the navigation function during the advantageous section is stored (stocked) as gaming information. The main monitor control means 108 controls the execution of the navigation function displayed on the main monitor 13 based on this navigation right during the advantageous section. Further, the slot machine S of the present embodiment is configured to execute a navigation right lottery for determining whether or not to grant the navigation right based on the winning of the RBB role (details will be described later) .

  Based on the operation of the start lever activation means 101 which activates the operation of the start lever 9 by inserting the specified number of medals into the main ROM, and the operation of the activated start lever 9 (hereinafter referred to as game start operation). The internal lottery unit 102 determines the winning area associated with the winning combination by one internal lottery from a plurality of types, and the winning flag control unit establishing the winning flag of the winning combination associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery 103, reel control means 104 for controlling the rotation and stop of each of the reels 5 to 7, symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is displayed on the effective line L (hereinafter, it simply says "small winning combination (NML) has won") ) In this case, the medal payout means 105 for paying out a predetermined number of medals associated with the small winning combination in advance, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role is displayed on the effective line L Re-play setting means for setting a re-play enabling the next game to be played without the insertion of a prescribed number of medals if the player is (hereinafter simply referred to as "the re-play combination (REP) has won a prize") 106, a game zone control means 107 for controlling a game zone including an advantageous zone and a normal zone, a main monitor control means 108 for controlling display of the main monitor 13, and a game for controlling a game state which is an operation state of the main control processing unit 100 The effect mode control means 110 which controls the effect mode which is the operating state of the state control means 109 and the sub control processing unit 200 is constructed.

  The sub control processing unit 200 includes a sub CPU, a sub ROM, and a sub RAM, and mainly controls the execution of each effect performed during the game. The sub control processing unit 200 is communicably connected to the main control processing unit 100 in one direction from the main control processing unit 100 to the sub control processing unit 200.

  The sub CPU reads a program stored in the sub ROM based on a command or the like transmitted from the main control processing unit 100 to perform arithmetic processing, and based on the processing, the lamp 14, the pair of speakers 15 and the sub monitor Control the 16th grade effect device. The sub RAM functions as a work area of data at the time of arithmetic processing of the sub CPU.

  In the sub ROM, based on an instruction from the main control processing unit 100, an effect mode transition means 201 for shifting the effect mode among a plurality of effect modes, an effect mode determination means 202 for determining an effect, and the determined effect The effect execution means 203 executed by the effect device such as the sub monitor 16 is constructed. For example, the effect mode transition means 201 causes the effect mode to shift in accordance with the transition of the gaming state by the gaming state control means 109.

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the gaming state is roughly divided into a normal state including a plurality of RTs, an inside of the RBB, an RBB operation, and a CBB operation.

  The winning probability of the small winning combination in each gaming state is set to about 1 / 7.0 in the normal state and in the RBB, and is set to about 1 / 1.1 in the RBB operation. Also, in the CBB operation, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, the winning flags of all the small winnings are established, and the small winnings are won regardless of the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12 as described later. Stop reels 5-7. The RBB operation is ended when the total number of medals paid out in the RBB operation exceeds a predetermined number (216), and the CBB operation is ended when the total number of medals paid out in the CBB operation exceeds the predetermined number (150). In the following description, the game in the RBB operation is referred to as an RBB game, and the game in the CBB operation is referred to as a CBB game.

  The winning probability of the RBB role is set to almost the same probability or the same probability (for example, about 1/3641) in each of the setting values 1 to 6, while the winning probability of the CBB role is the setting values 1 to 6 Are set to different probabilities (e.g., about 1/60 to about 1/50).

  The normal state is configured with non-RT and RT1 to 4, and the winning probability of the replay player is set to about 1/7 in non-RT and RT1 to 3 and about 1/2 in RT4. . Therefore, the RT 4 can execute a game (hereinafter referred to as an RT game) in which the winning probability of the replay role is set relatively higher than that of the other RTs. And, in this RT game, the game can be progressed while suppressing the consumption of medals mainly compared with the game in other RTs, and along with that, the sub monitor 16 over a relatively long period of time to the player You can also show a rendition.

  In this embodiment, when the gaming state is shifted in the order of normal state → CBB operation → normal state by winning the CBB role in the normal state, the CBB role is won so as not to change the winning probability of the replay role. It is configured to maintain the winning probability of the second replay role (so-called through CBB). Further, the symbol combination associated with the CBB combination is a symbol combination that is always displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12 (so-called PB = 1).

  The slot machine S of this embodiment is configured to shift the gaming state from RT 4 to non-RT in the normal state when 2000 games are executed while staying at RT 4. That is, unlike in the case of non-RT and RT1 to RT3, which will be described later, RT4 continues the game even if a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L, and the number of games to be continued is up to 2000 in advance. It is a so-called limited RT set, and is configured to end based on execution of 2000 games.

  Unlike RT4, non-RT and RT1 to RT3 are configured to continue until a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the pay line L regardless of the number of games to be continued. That is, non-RT and RT1 to RT3 are so-called infinite RTs that allow the game to continue while the gaming state is kept until a predetermined symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L, and the symbol combination is the effective line L It is configured to end based on what is displayed on. The RT1 is apparently called a so-called pseudo-general because it is apparently a basic gaming state, and generally stays when the player is seated in front of the slot machine S and starts the game. It is a game state of the general state which there is.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since RT4 is set to a high probability that the winning probability of the replay player is about 1/2 and is a limited RT capable of executing up to 2000 games, it is possible to use other RTs. In comparison, it is possible to execute many games while minimizing consumption of medals. In addition, since the CBB winning is configured to maintain the winning probability of the re-playing combination, the player can repeat the CBB winning by repeating the CBB winning in RT4 that can stay for a maximum of 2000 games. While being able to obtain many medals, it is possible to maintain a high probability of winning a replay player.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the purpose of the game is to achieve the transition to RT4, which is such an advantageous state, at an early stage, and to extend the stay period of RT4, and from RT1 to RT4 in the general state. In order to realize the transition of the game state, it is necessary to shift the gaming state in the order of RT 1 → RT 2 → RT 3 → RT 4.

  Here, in the present embodiment, in order to shift the gaming state from RT1 to RT4, first, in RT1, REP2 having a transition function to RT2, REP6 having a maintenance function of RT1, and other replays. When the player has won the winning combination "A," ".., .., ..)" and the winning combination "A" (see FIG. 3), the stop button 10 to 12 is pressed in a batting order that enables REP2 winning. (Hereafter, it is simply referred to as "stop operation.") Only when it is done, the gaming state is transferred (promoted) from RT1 to RT2, and then, in RT2, to REP4 having a transition function to RT3 and to RT1. Winning "Striking Lip B" (see Fig. 3) in which REP3 with the transition function, REP 6 with the maintenance function for RT2 and the other replay players (α, β, γ) are redundantly associated When R Only when the stop operation enabling P4 winning is performed, the gaming state is transferred (promoted) from RT2 to RT3 and finally, in RT3, the transition to RT2 and REP5 having the transition function to RT4 Winning "Striking Lip C" (see Fig. 3) in which REP2 with functions, REP 6 with maintenance function for RT3 and other replay players (α, β, γ) are redundantly associated When the stop operation for allowing REP 5 winning is performed, the gaming state is shifted (promoted) from RT3 to RT4.

  However, when the navigation right, which is the right to execute the navigation function, is not stored in the game information storage area 150 during the advantageous section, that is, when the navigation function can not be executed, each RT 1 to 3 as described above In each batting order A to C (hereinafter, these will be referred to as RT transition area), and further, when each RT transition area is won, REP2, REP4 and REP5 (hereinafter, these will be referred to as RT promotion rep.) It is extremely difficult to stop operation in a batting order.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the navigation right lottery for determining whether to grant the navigation right is executed based on the winning of the RBB role, and the navigation right is granted when the navigation right lottery is won. It is configured to execute the navigation function during the advantageous section. On the other hand, when the navigation right is not granted without winning the navigation right lottery, the navigation function can not be executed even during the advantageous section. As described above, when the navigation right is granted in the navigation right lottery, the navigation function is made executable, and the winning of each RT promotion lip is assisted.

  And in this embodiment, the transition opportunity to the advantageous section which becomes the premise for executing the navigation function is realized by winning the role of RBB or “bells 1 to 4” (see FIG. 3). The advantageous section to shift based on the winning is arbitrarily continued. Although the details will be described later, the continuation period of the advantageous section (hereinafter referred to as the first advantageous section) to shift based on the winning of the bell 1 to 4 is the next one of the games won to the bell 1 to 4 Only during the game of. In addition, the duration of the advantageous section (hereinafter referred to as the second advantageous section), which shifts based on the winning of the RBB role, goes to non-RT in the normal state after the RBB operation ends, when the navigation right lottery is won. After the transition, the operation is continued until the transition to RT 4 is made, and when the navigation right lottery is not won, the operation is continued until the RBB operation is finished. However, if the navi-right lottery is won, although the second advantageous section continues until the transition to RT4 is realized as described above, the upper limit of the number of games in the second advantageous section (advantage section) is 1500. The second advantageous section ends based on the fact that the game has been executed and 1500 games have been executed. When the navigation right lottery is won, the game section is shifted to the normal section based on the shift to RT4. In the following, since bells 1 to 4 are associated with NML 2 to 5 that pays out one medal, as described later, bells 1 to 4 will be appropriately referred to as one roll. .

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment configured as described above, in order to realize the transition to RT4, it is first necessary to wait for the RBB role to be won by internal lottery in a normal state and to win the navigation right lottery is there. Then, when the navigation right lottery is won, after the RBB operation is completed, during the second advantageous section which continues until it shifts to RT4, the above single sheet winning is won in the non-RT in the normal state, A blank symbol combination is displayed on the effective line L (hereinafter referred to as a single-sheet blank display), and the non-RT to RT1 transition is made. Furthermore, when winning in each RT transition area (strikeout letters A to C) in each RT 1 to 3 in the second advantageous section, the batting order according to the navigation function executed by the sub monitor 16 or the like (first specific operation In the embodiment, by performing the stop operation, each RT promotion rep (REP2, REP4, REP5) is made to win, and the transition from RT1 to RT4 is realized. In addition, the blank symbol combination of one winning combination is a predetermined symbol combination different from the symbol combination associated with the one winning combination, and prevents the winning combination of one winning combination and shifts the gaming state to RT1. It has a function.

  In the effect mode, as shown in FIG. 5, a normal mode, which is a mode in which the player generally sits in front of the slot machine S and starts playing, and an RBB mode in which the RBB game is performed, as shown in FIG. The RT4 transition preparation mode in which a game is prepared as a preparation for transition to RT4, the RT4 mode in which an RT game is performed, and the CBB mode in which a CBB game is performed are roughly classified. The RT4 transition preparation mode is the 0th mode, the first mode, the second mode and the third mode respectively corresponding to non-RT and RT1 to RT3 in which the game section is in the second advantageous section by winning the navigation right lottery. It has a mode. The RT4 mode has an RT4 normal mode corresponding to RT4 in which the game section is in the normal section, and an RT4 advantage mode corresponding to RT4 in which the game section is in the first advantageous section.

  In this embodiment, in order to shift from the normal mode in the general state to the RT4 mode which is the rendering mode corresponding to the advantageous state RT4, first, in the RBB mode corresponding to the RBB operation, It is necessary to win the navigation right lottery. Then, after the end of the RBB mode, transition to the RT4 mode is made via the RT4 transition preparation mode.

  At this time, in the RT4 transition preparation mode, first, in the 0th mode corresponding to non-RT, the game state is changed from non-RT to RT1 by winning a winning combination and displaying blanks of the single combination. The transition is made, and in accordance with this transition, the effect mode is shifted to the first mode corresponding to RT1. Then, after the transition to the first mode, the stop state is performed in the batting order according to the navigation function at the time of winning each RT transition area (strikeouts A to C) in each of the RTs 1 to 3 as described above. The transition from RT1 to RT2 to RT3 to RT4 is made, and in accordance with these transitions, the second mode corresponding to RT2 to the third mode corresponding to RT3 to the RT4 mode corresponding to RT4 .

  In the RT4 mode, in the RT4 normal mode, transition to the RT4 advantage mode is made based on the winning of the one-sheet combination, and when one game is ended in the RT4 advantage mode, transition to the RT4 normal mode is made again.

  In this embodiment, the navigation right lottery performed based on the winning of the RBB role in the RT4 normal mode (hereinafter referred to as the first navigation rights lottery) and the winning of the RBB role performed in the RT4 advantageous mode are executed. The winning probability is different in the case of the navi right lottery (hereinafter referred to as the second navi right lottery). Specifically, the winning probability of the second navigation right lottery is set to be higher than the winning probability of the first navigation right lottery. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the second navigation right lottery is set to 80%, and the winning probability of the first navigation right lottery is set to 50%.

  In addition to the above configuration, the winning probability of the navi right lottery (hereinafter referred to as the third navi right lottery) executed based on the winning of the RBB role in the normal mode corresponding to non-RT and RT1 to 3 is 1) It may be set lower than the winning probability of the navigation right lottery. For example, the winning probability of the third navigation right lottery may be set to 20%. By doing this, it is possible to execute the navigation right lottery in which three different winning probabilities are set, so it is possible to increase the variation of the game.

  Further, in addition to the above configuration, all the winning probabilities of the first to third navigation right lottery may be set to be the same. In this way, since it is possible to execute the navigation right lottery in which only one type of winning probability is set, it is possible to reduce the burden on the developer and to provide a simple and easy-to-understand game. In addition, the winning probability of the navigation right lottery is not limited to the above value, and can be changed as appropriate.

  The slot machine S of the present embodiment is configured to be able to display a notification image for notifying of the winning result of the navigation right lottery in the RBB mode on the sub monitor 16. Specifically, when the navigation right lottery is won, in the final game in the RBB mode, for example, by displaying a notification image including a sentence such as "Navi right lottery!" Informing the player that the navigation right lottery has been won. On the other hand, when the navigation right lottery is not won, in the final game of the RBB mode, for example, by displaying a notification image including a sentence such as "Don't win the navigation right lottery!" Informing the player that the navigation right lottery has not been won. By doing this, it is possible to clearly show the player the result of the navi-rights lottery, so that the player sees the notification image and is at a glance.

  When winning the CBB role in the RT4 mode, the gaming state is shifted to the CBB operation, and along with this transition, the effect mode is shifted to the CBB mode corresponding to the CBB operation. Then, after the CBB operation is completed, the gaming state is shifted to RT4, and in accordance with this shift, the effect mode is shifted to the RT4 mode.

  Next, referring back to FIG. 2, each means constructed in the main ROM of the main control processing unit 100 will be described.

  The start lever activation means 101 activates the operation of the start lever 9 by inserting a specified number of medals in the normal state, the inside of the RBB, the RBB operation and the CBB operation.

  The internal lottery means 102 acquires random numbers for internal lottery at the timing when the game start operation of the activated start lever 9 is performed, and a plurality of the random numbers are obtained based on the acquired random numbers and the type of the current gaming state. Determine one winning area from among the types of winning areas. The winning area will be described in detail later.

  The winning flag control means 103 sets all the winning flags of the small winnings to ON at the start of each game in the CBB game, regardless of the result of the internal lottery, when the gaming state is staying in the CBB operation. The winning flag is set to OFF before the start of the next game so as not to carry over to the next game. In addition, when the gaming state is not staying in the CBB operation, the winning flag control means 103 is the winning flag set based on the internal lottery in the current game (set to ON) is the winning of the small part or the re-playing part If it is a flag, it is set to OFF before the start of the next game so that these winning flags are not carried over to the next game. Further, when the winning flag established (set to ON) based on the internal lottery in the current game is the winning flag relating to the RBB, the winning flag control means 103 determines that the symbol combination corresponding to the RBB is The flag is carried over until it is displayed on the valid line L.

  The reel control means 104 starts the rotation of each of the reels 5 to 7 based on the game start operation, accelerates the rotation of the reels until each of the reels 5 to 7 becomes steady rotation (about 80 rotations / minute), and each reel When the steady rotation is reached, the rotation speed is maintained and the operation of all the stop buttons 10 to 12 is enabled.

  Further, the reel control unit 104 stops the rotation of the corresponding reels 5 to 7 in accordance with the operation mode of the activated stop button 10 to 12 in accordance with the type of the game state. Specifically, in the normal state, RBB internal and RBB operation, the rotation of the reels 5 to 7 corresponding to the stop button 10 to 12 pressed is stopped within 190 ms from the stop operation of each stop button 10 to 12 Let At this time, if the reels 5 to 7 include up to four symbols (4 frames) from the pressing timing of the corresponding stop button 10 to 12 (including the symbols displayed on the effective line L at the pressing timing of the stop button 10 to 12) It can be rotated by 5 frames).

  On the other hand, in CBB operation, the rotation of the left reel 5 among the respective reels 5 to 7 corresponds to the rotation of the other reels 6 and 7 within 75 ms from the time of the stop operation of the left stop button 10. Stop within 190 ms from the stop operation of the right stop button 11, 12 respectively. At this time, the reel 5 is a maximum of one symbol (one frame) from the pressing timing of the corresponding left stop button 10 (two frames including the symbol displayed on the effective line L at the pressing timing of the stop button 10) The reels 6 and 7 can be displayed, and the reels 6 and 7 are displayed on the effective line L at the timing of pressing the stop buttons 11 and 12 for 4 symbols (4 frames) at the maximum from the pressing timing of the corresponding middle or right stop buttons 11 and 12 Including the design, it can be rotated by 5 frames). That is, in the normal state, in the RBB, in the RBB operation, the maximum number of sliding symbols for each of the reels 5 to 7 is four, and in the CBB operation, the maximum number of sliding symbols for the reel 5 is one, and the maximum sliding of the reels 6, 7 The number of frames is four.

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment, the reel 5 is stopped within 75 ms from the stop operation of the left stop button 10 in the CBB operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Alternatively, the reel 6 or 7 may be stopped within 75 ms from the stop operation of the corresponding stop button 11, 12.

  Further, the reel control means 104 controls the number of sheets 5-7 to control the reels 5-7 to preferentially display the symbol combination corresponding to the combination with the largest number of medals paid out according to the establishment state of the winning flag. , Number priority control to control the reels 5 to 7 to display symbol combinations corresponding to the combination with the largest number of symbol combinations on the effective line L with priority, corresponding to the re-play role and the small combination rather than the RBB combination The reels 5 to 7 are controlled to display symbol combinations on the effective line L so as to preferentially display symbol combinations on the effective line L, and to display symbol combinations corresponding to small winnings rather than replay players in the CBB operation. Based on priority control, logic operation to search for the design with the highest pull-in priority, and / or reference to the stop control table (not shown) stored in advance in the main ROM The symbol with the highest priority is drawn to be displayed on the effective line L among the symbol combinations related to the winning flag that has been established, and corresponds to the winning symbol that relates to the winning flags other than the established winning flag Kicking is performed so that the attached symbol combination is not displayed on the effective line L, and the reels 5 to 7 corresponding to the respective stop buttons 10 to 12 are stopped. In the slot machine S of this embodiment, in the CBB operation, regardless of the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12, as will be described later, a small combination (NML 1, 8, 9) pays out nine medals. Control is performed so that the corresponding symbol combination is always displayed on the effective line L.

  The medal payout means 105 pays out a predetermined number of medals previously associated with the small winning combination when the small winning combination is won.

  The re-game setting unit 106 sets a re-game that allows the next game to be performed without the insertion of the specified number of medals when the re-play combination is won.

  The game area control means 107 controls transition determination to an advantageous area or a normal area and controls the duration of these game areas.

  Specifically, as shown in the normal mode or the RT4 mode of FIG. 5, the game section control means 107 determines the transition to the first advantageous section based on the winning of one sheet during the normal section, and The first advantage section is started from the next game that has won the one-piece combination, and the first advantage section is continued until one game corresponding to the next game is ended. Then, the game section control means 107 determines the transition to the normal section based on the end of the first advantageous section, and starts the normal section from the next game after the first advantageous section is ended, to play one sheet or Continue the normal section until winning the role of RBB.

  Further, the game section control means 107 determines the transition to the second advantageous section based on the winning of the RBB role, and continues the second advantageous section according to the result of the navigation right lottery based on the winning of the RBB role. To control. Specifically, as shown in the RBB mode or the RT4 transition preparation mode of FIG. 5, when the game section control means 107 wins the navigation right lottery, the second advantage section from the next game won by the RBB role. And continue the second advantageous section until it shifts to RT4 in the RT4 mode. Then, as shown in the RT4 mode of FIG. 5, the game section control means 107 determines the transition to the normal section on the basis of the transition from RT3 to RT4 in the second advantageous section, and during the second advantageous section The normal section is started from the next game after RT3 is finished, and the normal section is continued until the single-piece role or the RBB role is won. In the present embodiment, as described above, when the game section is shifted from the second advantageous section to the normal section, the navigation right is initialized, that is, the effects of the main monitor 13, the sub monitor 16, etc. are discarded. The navigation function can not be performed on the device.

  As described above, the slot machine S of the present embodiment is advantageous because the gaming section is shifted from the second advantageous section to the normal section based on the transition from RT3 to RT4 in the second advantageous section. The RT4 is in the normal section except when the single-piece winning is selected, and basically the navigation function is not executed. In this regard, the slot machine S of the present embodiment is different from the conventional slot machine provided with an advantageous gaming state in which the navigation function is executed during the advantageous section to obtain many medals. Further, in the present embodiment, since the game section always becomes the normal section whenever the transition from RT3 to RT4 is realized, the continuation of the advantageous section over a long period can be avoided. If the winning combination is won during the second advantageous section, the gaming section control means 107 does not determine the transition to the first advantageous section based on the winning of the one winning combination. That is, regardless of the winning of the single-piece winning combination during the second advantageous section, the game section control means 107 continues the second advantageous section until the gaming state shifts to RT4.

  On the other hand, as shown in the normal mode or the RBB mode of FIG. 5, when the game section control means 107 does not win the navi-right lottery, the second advantage section starts from the next game won by the RBB role. And the second advantageous section continues until the RBB operation is finished. Then, the game section control means 107 determines the shift to the normal section based on the shift to the non-RT after the completion of the RBB operation, and starts the normal section from the next game after the RBB operation in the second advantageous section is finished. The normal section is continued until the player gets a single-piece or an RBB.

  When the navigation right is granted at RT1 in the advantageous section, the main monitor control means 108, when winning a batting order rep A, wins a correct batting order enabling a winning of REP2 having a transition function to RT2. A number identifying the indication information signal to be indicated is displayed on the main monitor 13, and the sub monitor 16 is informed of the correct batting order enabling the winning of the REP 2 to correspond to this process.

  In addition, when the navigation right is granted at RT2 in the advantageous section, the main monitor control means 108 corrects the winning of the REP 4 having a transition function to the RT3 when winning the batting rep B. A number identifying an instruction information signal indicating batting order is displayed on the main monitor 13, and the sub monitor 16 is informed of the correct batting order enabling the winning of the REP 4 so as to correspond to this process.

  In addition, when the navigation right is granted at RT3 in the advantageous section, the main monitor control means 108 corrects the winning of REP5 having a transition function to RT4 when winning a batting dip C. A number identifying an instruction information signal indicating batting order is displayed on the main monitor 13, and the sub monitor 16 is informed of the correct batting order enabling the winning of the REP 5 so as to correspond to this process.

  Furthermore, the main monitor control means 108 controls the section display 13b to be always lit during RBB operation based on winning of the RBB, and according to the result of the navigation right lottery, after the RBB operation is finished, the lighting mode is different. The section indicator 13b is controlled. That is, when the main monitor control means 108 has won the navigation right lottery, the section indicator 13b is kept on and the system moves to RT4 even after the RBB operation is finished, even if it shifts to non-RT in the normal state. Turn off for the first time based on. On the other hand, if the navigation right lottery is not won, the main monitor control means 108 extinguishes the section indicator 13b when transitioning to non-RT after the completion of the RBB operation. Therefore, when it moves to non-RT after the completion of the RBB operation, it can be grasped whether or not the navigation right lottery is won depending on whether or not the section indicator 13b is lit.

  The gaming state control means 109 controls the transition of the gaming state between the normal state, the inside of the RBB, the RBB operation and the CBB operation. The winning area and the winning combination associated with the winning area will be described below with reference to FIG. Note that the batting order shown in FIG. 3 is the operating order of the stop buttons 10 to 12, and the “batting order 1” is the order of the left stop button 10 → middle stop button 11 → right stop button 12, The batting order 2 is in the order of left → right → middle, the batting order 3 is in the order of middle → left → right, and the batting order 4 is in the order of middle → right → left, the batting order “5” is the order of right → left → middle, and “strike order 6” is the order of right → middle → left.

  "No winning" (No. 0) in which no winning combination is associated with a plurality of types of winning areas to be subjected to the internal lottery, "Replaying winning combination" (Nos. No.), “small part” (Nos. 11 to 20) associated with a small part, and “Bonus” (Nos. 21 and 22) associated with a bonus part.

  The above-mentioned winning area "re-playing combination" shown in FIG. 3 is different from the normal rep (No. 1) to which REP 1 corresponding to the next game is to be re-played and the re-play different according to the operation order of the stop buttons 10-12. It includes a batting lip (No. 2 to 10) that can be won with a part.

  The batting lip is composed of batting lips A to C. The batting order rep A is a target of the internal lottery at RT1, and includes a plurality of batting order reps A1 to A3. Each of these batting reps A1 to A3 has REP2 having a function to shift (promotion) the gaming state to RT2, REP6 having a function to maintain the gaming state at RT1, and other re-play roles (α, shown in FIG. β, γ) are associated with each other. That is, the batting rep A is composed of a plurality of batting reps A1 to A3 in which a plurality of types of winning combinations including the above-mentioned REP2, the above-mentioned REP 6 and other replay roles are won in duplicate.

  The batting lip B is a target of the internal lottery at RT2 and includes a plurality of batting lip B1 to B3. These batting notes B1 to B3 respectively have the function of transferring (promotion) the gaming state to RT3, REP3 having the function of shifting (falling) the gaming state to RT1, and the function of maintaining the gaming state at RT2 The REP 6 and the other player (α, β, γ) are associated with each other. That is, the batting rep B is composed of a plurality of batting reps B1 to B3 in which a plurality of types of roles having the above-mentioned REP4, the above-mentioned REP3, the above-mentioned REP6 and other replay roles are won in duplicate. There is.

  The batting sequence C is a target of the internal lottery at RT3 and includes a plurality of batting sequences C1 to C3 (a plurality of first winning areas). These batting notes C1 to C3 respectively have a function to shift (promotion) the gaming state to RT4, a function to transit (fall) the gaming state to RT2, and a function to maintain the gaming state at RT3. The REP 6 and the other player (α, β, γ) are associated with each other. That is, the batting rep C is composed of a plurality of batting reps C1 to C3 in which a plurality of types of roles having the above-mentioned REP5, the above-mentioned REP2, the above-mentioned REP6 and other replay roles are won in duplicate. There is.

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when one of the batting order reps A1 to A3 is won in RT1 in the normal state, the batting order of “REP2 (RT2 promotion)” shown in FIG. When the stop operation is performed in the batting order A1 in the batting order 1, 2), the REP 2 is made to win, and the gaming state is shifted (promoted) from RT 1 to RT 2 by the winning of the REP 2. In addition, when the stop operation is performed in a batting order of "REP 6 (maintaining RT1)" (for example, batting order 3 to 6 in batting order A1) shown in FIG. Maintain at RT1. That is, when REP2 is made to win based on winning in winning sequence A by RT1, the gaming state is shifted from RT1 to RT2, while when REP6 is made to win, the gaming state is from RT1 to RT2 Do not migrate to

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4, when one of the batting order reps B1 to B3 is won in RT2 in the normal state, the batting order of “REP 4 (promotion of RT3)” shown in FIG. When the stop operation is performed in 2), the REP 4 is made to win, and the game state is shifted (promoted) from RT 2 to RT 3 by the win of this REP 4. In addition, when the stop operation is performed in the batting order of “REP3 (RT1 falling)” (for example, batting order 3 and 4 in batting order B1) shown in FIG. Transfer from RT2 to RT1 (fall). In addition, when the stop operation is performed in a batting order of "REP 6 (maintaining RT2)" (for example, batting order 5 and 6 in batting order B1) shown in FIG. Maintain at RT2. That is, when REP4 is made to win based on winning in the batting rep B in RT2, the gaming state is shifted from RT2 to RT3, while when REP3 or REP6 is made to win, the gaming state is RT2 Do not shift from RT3 to RT3.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when one of the batting reps C1 to C3 is won in RT3 in the normal state, the batting order of “REP 5 (promotion of RT4)” shown in FIG. When the stop operation is performed in 2), the REP 5 is made to win, and the game state is shifted (promoted) from RT 3 to RT 4 by the winning of this REP 5. In addition, when the stop operation is performed in a batting order of “REP2 (RT2 falling)” (for example, batting order 3 and 4 in batting order C1) shown in FIG. Transition from RT3 to RT2. In addition, when the stop operation is performed in a batting order of "REP 6 (maintaining RT3)" (for example, batting order 5 and 6 in batting order C1) shown in FIG. Maintain at RT3. That is, when the REP 5 is made to win based on winning in the batting rep C by RT3, the gaming state is shifted from RT 3 to RT 4 while when the REP 2 or REP 6 is made to win, the gaming state is RT 3 Do not shift from RT4 to RT4.

  In this way, the winning reps A to C receive RT promotion reps (REP2, REP4, and REP5) at the time of winning in each of the RTs 1 to 3, and so on from RT1 to RT2, RT2 to RT3 and RT3 to RT4 and so on. It is a winning area that makes it possible to shift the RT in order.

  The above-mentioned winning area "small winning combination" shown in FIG. 3 includes bells (numbers 11 to 18), watermelon (number 19) and cherry (number 20) (a plurality of types of second winning areas). The bell includes a common bell (No. 11), bells 1 to 4 (12 to 15) (area of transition to the advantageous section shown in FIG. 3), and a batting bell A (16 to 18). .

  Bells 1-4 are subject to internal lottery with non-RT, RT1-4, RBB internal and CBB operation. In the slot machine S of this embodiment, the winning probability of the bells 1 to 4 is set to about 1 / 1.0 in each of the setting values 1 to 6 in any of the RTs. NMLs 2 to 5 each capable of paying out one medal are individually associated with the bells 1 to 4, respectively. When one of the bells 1 to 4 is won, the NMLs 2 to 5 are made to win according to the timing of the stop operation of the stop buttons 10 to 12 and one medal is paid out by the winning of the NMLs 2 to 5 . At this time, when the NMLs 2 to 5 do not win, the medals are not paid out without causing any small part to win.

  In addition, in the said structure, although NML2-5 which is a 1-piece combination is each independently matched with the bells 1-4, it is not restricted to this structure. For example, each of the bells 1 to 4 may be associated with a plurality of small winning combinations so as to overlap. In this case, a small combination capable of paying out the same number of medals may be adopted as the plurality of small combinations, or a small combination capable of delivering different numbers of medals may be adopted. For example, in the case of adopting a small combination that can pay out all the same number of medals, small combinations (not shown) that can pay out three medals may be redundantly associated with the bells 1 to 4 respectively. If a small combination that can pay out different numbers of medals is adopted, a small combination (not shown) that can pay out one medal and a small combination (not shown) that can pay out nine medals is a bell 1 to 4 may be redundantly associated. Further, in the above configuration, when any of the bells 1 to 4 is won, the NMLs 2 to 5 are awarded according to the timing of the stop operation of the stop buttons 10 to 12, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. When one of 1 to 4 is won, the NML 2 to 5 may always be made to win.

  In the present embodiment, the winning of the bells 1 to 4 is a trigger for determining the transition to the first advantageous section. The duration of the first advantageous section is only during the next one game of the game winning the bell 1 to 4 as described above, and thereafter the gaming section shifts to the normal section, so the bell 1 to 1 As the number of times of winning 4 is increased, the regular section and the advantageous section will be moved back and forth more frequently. In particular, when one of the bells 1 to 4 is elected frequently at RT 4, switching to the advantageous section or the regular section is frequently performed, so that the advantageous section does not continue for a long period at RT 4 .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the slot machine S of this embodiment example wins any of the bells 1 to 4 by non-RT and RT1 to RT3, the slot machine S displays a blank display of one winning combination. Is configured to shift the gaming state to RT1. That is, when the blank display of one sheet is made non-RT, the gaming state is promoted from non-RT to RT1, while when the one-sheet blank display is made by RT2 or RT3, the gaming state is set. Fall from RT2 or RT3 to RT1. Therefore, in order to realize the transition to RT4, which is an advantageous state, the bells 1 to 4 are won by non-RT, and a blank display of one sheet is made to shift to RT1 (promotion), and RT2 or RT2 or Even if Bells 1 to 4 are won at RT3, it is important to make a blank display of the one-piece combination so as not to shift (fall) to RT1. In addition, since RT4 is a limited RT, the game state is not shifted to RT1 when the player 1 is given a blank display when winning to Bells 1 to 4 in RT4, and the game state is RT4. Keep it on.

  The batting order bell A is a target of the internal lottery in all gaming states, and includes a plurality of batting order bells (a plurality of kinds of second specified winning areas) A1 to A3. In these batting bells A1 to A3, NML 6 pays out nine medals by winning, NML 7 pays out one medal by winning, and other small part (δ, ε, 示 す shown in FIG. 3) correspond to each other. It is attached. That is, the batting bell A is configured by a plurality of batting bells A1 to A3 in which a plurality of types of roles having the above-described NML 6, the above-described NML 7 and other small roles are won in duplicate.

  Regarding the relationship between the payout mode of medals and the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12 at the time of winning the batting bell A, the batting order of “NML 6 (9 sheets)” shown in FIG. In 2), when the stop button 10 to 12 is operated to stop, the NML 6 is made a prize, and nine medals are paid out by the winning of the NML 6 and the order of "NML 7 (1 sheet or 0 sheets)" shown in FIG. When the stop operation is performed in the batting order bell A1 and the batting order is 3 to 6), the NML 6 is not awarded, and the NML 7 is awarded according to the timing of the halting operation. At this time, when the NML 7 does not win a prize, it does not pay any medals without causing any small part to win.

  The slot machine S of the present embodiment has the navigation function as the main monitor 13 when any of the batting bells A1 to A3 is won in a state where the navigation right is granted in any gaming state except RT4. And the lamp 14, the pair of speakers 15 and the sub monitor 16 (predetermined device) are not executed. That is, in this embodiment, even if the player wins any of a plurality of bats A1 to A3 in any game state except RT4, the navigation function according to the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12 causes the NML 6 It does not notify you of the correct batting order that allows you to win a prize. Therefore, normally, if it is highly probable that the player operates the stop buttons 10 to 12 in the bat order 1 (so-called bat order), the bat order bell A1 of the bat order bells A1 to A3 in any game state. If the player wins the game, as shown in FIG. 3, while the possibility of stopping the stop buttons 10 to 12 in the correct sequence to enable winning of the NML 6 is high, the batting order bell A2 or the batting order bell A3 In the case of winning, there is a high possibility that the stop operation of the stop buttons 10 to 12 will be performed in a batting order in which the NML 6 win is denied.

  Further, in the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the pair of speakers (notification means) 15 is configured to be able to execute a predetermined effect when any of the batting bells A1 to A3 is won in any of the gaming states. It is done. Specifically, the pair of speakers 15 differs depending on whether or not the NML 6 (first small winning combination) paying out nine medals based on the operation of the stop buttons 10 to 12 when winning the batting bell A is won or not It is comprised so that the sound of an aspect may be alert | reported. In this case, based on the winning of the batting order bell A in any of the gaming states, the effect command transmission unit 110b of the main control processing unit 100 described later uses the effect execution unit 203 of the sub control processing unit (notification unit) 200. The effect command including information on the sound output from the pair of speakers 15 is transmitted. Then, the effect execution unit 203 controls the pair of speakers 15 so that sounds of different modes are output from the pair of speakers 15 according to whether or not the NML 6 has won based on the received effect command.

  That is, when NML 6 wins based on the fact that the stop operation is performed in the “NML 6 (9 sheets)” batting order (the second specific operation mode) shown in FIG. The speaker 15 outputs a sound (specific sound) notifying the player that the NML 6 has won a prize. On the other hand, when the batting order bell A is won, one medal is obtained based on the fact that the stop operation is performed in the batting order “NML 7 (1 sheet or 0 sheets)” shown in FIG. 3 (operation mode different from the second specific operation mode). Even if NML 7 (second small winning combination) paying out has won, even if none of NML 6 and NML 7 winning combination wins, the pair of speakers 15 does not output sound.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, as described above, the pair of speakers 15 is configured not to output sound despite the winning of the single-player NML 7 and the operation of the start lever 9 is validated. We do not purposely notify NML 7 winning that can pay out one medal smaller than the number of medals to be inserted (prescribed number). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the annoyance felt by the player at the time of winning the NML 7 without emphasizing that the NML 7 has won the prize.

  In the present embodiment, when not only the pair of speakers 15 but also the lamp 14 and the sub monitor 16 win a batting bell A in any of the gaming states, the player according to the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12 The effects of different aspects may be executable.

  For example, when NML 6 wins based on the fact that the stop operation is performed with the batting order of “NML 6 (9 sheets)” shown in FIG. If the NML 7 wins, or if any of the NML 7 wins based on the fact that the stop operation was performed in the batting order of “NML 7 (1 sheet or 0 sheets)” shown in FIG. If the small part does not win either, it may not be lit.

  The sub monitor 16 receives nine medals if the NML 6 wins based on the fact that the stop operation is performed with the batting order of “NML 6 (nine sheets)” shown in FIG. 3 when the batting order bell A is won. While displaying an image (for example, an image including the number “9”) indicating acquisition, based on the fact that the stop operation has been performed in the batting order of “NML 7 (1 sheet or 0 sheets)” shown in FIG. 3 The image as described above may not be displayed when the NML 7 wins or when none of the small winning combinations wins.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the batting bell A is won in any of the gaming states, the stop buttons 10 to 12 are operated to stop in the batting order (the batting order of "NML 6 (9 sheets)" shown in FIG. 3). By changing the effect mode between the case where the stop button 10 to 12 is stopped and the stop operation in the incorrect answering order different from the correct order (“NML 7 (1 sheet or 0 sheets)” shown in FIG. 3). It can be suggested to the player whether or not the stop buttons 10 to 12 have been stopped in the correct batting order.

  The main monitor 13 is configured to perform different display depending on the operation mode of the player's stop buttons 10 to 12 when the batting order bell A is won in any of the gaming states. Specifically, when the NML 6 wins based on the fact that the main monitor 13 has performed the stop operation in the batting order of “NML 6 (9 sheets)” shown in FIG. It is configured to indicate that nine medals have been acquired by displaying a light of "." On the other hand, when the NML 6 does not win based on the fact that the stop operation is performed in the order of “NML 7 (1 sheet or 0 sheets)” shown in FIG. 3, the main monitor 13 displays the above display. It is configured not to do. In this case, when the NML 7 wins and one medal is paid out, the main monitor 13 causes the payout display 13a to turn on the number "1", and none of the small part wins, and the medal is displayed. When the money is not paid out, the payout display 13a displays a display of lighting the number "0".

  The common bell is the target of the internal lottery in the entire game state, and the NML 1 capable of paying out nine medals is independently associated. When the common bell is won, the NML 1 is awarded regardless of the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12, and nine medals are paid out by the winning of the NML 1.

  Watermelons and cherries are also subject to internal lottery in the entire game state, like the common bell, and NML 8 and NML 9 capable of paying out nine medals are individually associated with each other. Even when the watermelon or cherry is won, NML 8 or NML 9 is awarded regardless of the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12, and nine medals are paid out by the prize of NML 8 or NML 9.

  In the above configuration, the common bell, the watermelon, and the cherry are individually associated with NMLs 1, 8 and 9, which are nine-piece cards, respectively, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as in the case of the above-described bells 1 to 4, the common bell, the watermelon and the cherry may be respectively associated with a plurality of small part combinations so as to overlap each other. Alternatively, a small combination that can pay out all the same number of medals may be adopted, or a small combination that can pay out different numbers of medals from each other may be adopted. Further, in the above configuration, when the common bell, watermelon or cherry is won, the NML 1, 8, 9 is made to win regardless of the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. When the bell, watermelon or cherry is won, the NMLs 1, 8 and 9 may be made to win according to the timing of the stop operation of the stop buttons 10 to 12.

  The winning area “bonus” shown in FIG. 3 includes a CBB associated with the CBB role and an RBB associated with the RBB role. The RBB (the advantageous section transition area shown in FIG. 3) is a target of the internal lottery for non-RT and RT1 to RT4, and the RBB role is associated. When the player wins the RBB, the symbol combination corresponding to the role of RBB is displayed on the effective line L based on the operation of the stop buttons 10 to 12 in the specific operation mode. The RBB operation is ended based on the fact that a predetermined number (216) of medals have been paid out, and thereafter, the gaming state shifts to non-RT in the normal state.

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment, the winning of the RBB role mainly has the following first to third functions. The first function is a function serving as a trigger for determining the transition to the second advantageous section. In this embodiment, when the navigation right is stored in the game information storage area 150, the navigation function is executed even if each RT transition area (strikeout letters A to C) is won in each of the RTs 1 to 3. In the first place, it is a precondition that it is during the advantageous section. Therefore, this first function is an important function for achieving the precondition for executing the navigation function.

  The second function is a function serving as an opportunity to execute the navigation right lottery. The slot machine S of this embodiment is configured to execute the navi-right lottery based on the winning of the RBB role, and if the navi-right lottery is not won and the navi-right is not granted, the slot machine S is in the advantageous section. Even if there is, you can not execute the navigation function. Therefore, this second function is an important function to determine whether or not the navigation function can be performed, with the transition to the advantageous section by the first function being a necessary requirement.

  The third function is a function serving as an opportunity to end RT4 which is an advantageous state in which the winning probability of the replay role is high. The third function is disadvantageous to the player as compared to the first function and the second function. Therefore, as a player, in RT4, it is preferable to advance a game with a high probability of winning a replay player while maintaining RT4 without winning the role of RBB as much as possible. However, even if the player is elected to the RBB in RT4 and ends the RT4, it is possible to shift to RT4 again if the navigation right lottery executed based on the selection of the RBB is elected.

  That is, if the player wins the role of RBB in RT4, RT4 is temporarily ended, but the game section is shifted to the second advantageous section, and if the navi-right lottery is won and the navi-right is granted, this second The advantageous section can be continued until transitioning to RT4 again. Then, if RTs 1 to 3 in this second advantageous section win each RT transition area (strikeouts A to C), the navigation function can be executed, and the stop operation is performed in the batting order according to the navigation function. As a result, it is possible to easily reproduce the transition to RT4. That is, in this example of the embodiment, if the user is elected to the RBB role at RT 4 and is elected to the navigation right lottery, it is possible to repeatedly circulate the RT in the normal state through the RBB operation.

  Thus, the RBB has the first to third functions, and is an important winning area that affects the directionality of the game. Therefore, the winning of the role of RBB influences the whereabouts of the game.

  CBB is a target of internal lottery in non-RT and RT1 to RT4, and a CBB role is associated. If the CBB combination is won, the symbol combination corresponding to the CBB combination is always displayed on the effective line L regardless of the operation mode of the stop buttons 10 to 12. The slot machine S of this embodiment can pay out nine medals by ensuring that any of NML1, NML8 and NML9 respectively associated with the common bell, watermelon and cherries are won during CBB operation. It is configured. The CBB operation ends based on the fact that a predetermined number (150) of medals have been paid out, and thereafter, the gaming state shifts to the gaming state before the CBB operation shift.

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 6, the start lever 9 is activated (S2) by inserting a specified number of medals (S1), and the game of the start lever 9 is played In the start operation (S3), an internal lottery is performed (S4), and a winning flag corresponding to the combination associated with the winning area determined by the internal lottery is set to ON (S5). On the other hand, based on the game start operation of the start lever 9, the reels 5 to 7 are simultaneously rotated on condition that a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) has elapsed from the rotation start time of each reel 5 to 7 in the previous game. Start operation (S6), activate all stop buttons 10 to 12 after all reels reach steady rotation (S7), and stop the corresponding reels based on the operation of each stop button 10 to 12 (S8). Next, a game result determination process is performed to determine whether or not the symbol combination associated with the winning combination determined by the internal lottery determined in step S4 is displayed on the activated line L and is won (S9). According to the result judgment process, the medal payout process by the small winning combination (S10), the replay setting process by the replaying role combination (S11), the symbol combination relating to the RBB combination or the CBB combination is displayed on the effective line L A game state transition process (S12) is performed, and a win flag control process (S13) for controlling ON / OFF of the win flag according to the result of the game result determination process is performed to end one game. Although the detailed description is omitted, the effect mode control means 110 is, for example, elected to the role of RBB based on the game start operation of the start lever 9 and the stop operation of the stop buttons 10 to 12 and corresponds to the RBB role. The transition of the effect mode is determined by displaying the symbol combination on the effective line L or the like, and an effect command including information of the determined effect mode is transmitted to the sub control processing unit 200. Then, when the sub control processing unit 200 receives the rendering command, the rendering mode transition unit 201 switches the display of the sub monitor 16 based on the information of the rendering mode included in the command, and thus the rendering mode is set. It is configured to migrate.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the effect mode control means 110 for controlling the effect mode includes effect mode transition determining means 110a for determining transition of the effect mode, and information including the information on the type of effect mode and information on the batting order of the stop button. The effect command transmitting means 110b for transmitting commands and the like to the sub control processing unit 200, the navigation right lottery means (giving decision means) 110c for executing the navigation right lottery, and the navigation right management means 110d for managing the navigation right doing.

  The effect mode transition determining means 110a determines the transition of the effect mode based on the establishment of the predetermined condition. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the effect mode transition determining means 110a determines the transition to the RBB mode based on having won the role of RBB in the normal mode or the RT4 mode, as well as in the navigation right lottery If the player wins, the transition to the RT4 transition preparation mode is decided, and if the navigation right lottery is not won, the transition to the normal mode is decided. In the RT4 transition preparation mode, even when winning the RBB role, the game transitions to the RBB mode based on the winning of the RBB role, but after the end of the RBB mode, the gaming section still continues as the second advantageous section. , And the navigation right remains stored in the game information storage area 150. Therefore, in this case, regardless of the result of the navigation right lottery based on the winning of the RBB, after the RBB mode ends, the transition to the RT4 transition preparation mode (0th mode) is made again.

  Further, the effect mode transition determining means 110a determines the transition to the first mode based on the blank display of one sheet in the 0th mode of the RT4 transition preparation mode, and the batting order lip in the first mode A transition to the second mode is determined based on the fact that the stop operation is performed in a batting order enabling REP2 winning when A is won. Further, the effect mode transition determining means 110a determines the transition to the third mode based on the fact that the stop operation has been performed in the batting order enabling REP4 winning at the time of winning the batting rep B in the second mode, The transition to the RT4 mode is determined based on the fact that the stop operation is performed in a batting order enabling REP 5 winning at the time of winning of batting lip C in the third mode.

  Further, the effect mode transition determining means 110a determines the transition to the RT4 advantage mode based on the winning of the one-sheet combination in the RT4 normal mode in the RT4 mode, and the RT4 advantage mode following the game for which the determination is made. The transition to the RT4 normal mode is determined based on the end of one game of. In the normal mode, the game section is shifted to the first advantageous section based on the winning of the one-piece combination, but the effect mode transition determining means 110a keeps the effect mode in the normal mode.

  Furthermore, the effect mode transition determining means 110a determines transition to the CBB mode based on the winning of the CBB role in the RT4 mode.

  In the case where the effect command transmission means 110 b is won in each RT transition area (strikeouts A to C) in each of the RTs 1 to 3 when the navigation right is stored in the gaming information storage area 150 during the advantageous section, An effect command or the like including information on the batting order of the stop buttons 10 to 12 is transmitted to the sub control processing unit 200. The effect executing unit 203 of the sub control processing unit 200 causes the sub monitor 16 to execute a navigation function that suggests a batting order of the stop buttons 10 to 12 included in the received effect command.

  In addition, the rendering command transmission unit 110b transmits, to the sub control processing unit 200, a rendering command including information on the type of the rendering mode determined based on the rendering mode transition determining unit 110a determining the transition of the rendering mode. . The sub control processing unit 200 shifts the effect mode in accordance with the information of the effect mode included in the received effect command.

  The navi-rights lottery means 110c executes navi-rights lottery to determine whether or not to grant the navi-right at the start of the game based on the winning of the RBB in the internal lottery. When the navigation right lottery is won, it is determined to give the navigation right and the navigation function can be executed during the advantageous section. In this case, the game section control means 107 shifts the game section from the normal section to the second advantageous section, and continues the second advantageous section until the gaming state shifts to RT4 based on the selection of the navigation right lottery. . On the other hand, when the navigation right lottery is not won, it is determined that the navigation right is not given, and the navigation function can not be executed during the advantageous section. In this case, the game section control means 107 shifts the game section from the normal section to the second advantageous section, and continues the second advantageous section until the RBB operation ends based on the failure to win the navigation right lottery. . As described above, the duration of the second advantageous section changes depending on whether or not the navigation right lottery is won, and whether or not to execute the navigation function in RT1 to RT3 is determined. Will be different.

  The navigation right management means 110d stores the navigation right in the game information storage area 150 of the main control processing unit 100 each time the assignment of the navigation right is determined in the navigation right lottery. In addition, the navigation right management means 110d is stored in the game information storage area 150 based on the fact that the stop operation is performed in a batting order enabling REP 5 winning when the batting rep C is won in RT3 in the second advantageous section. Initialize the navigation rights that had been. That is, based on the fact that the gaming state is shifted from RT3 to RT4 by the gaming state control means 109 during the second advantageous section, the navigation right management means 110d discards the navigation right and does not execute the navigation function with the sub monitor 16 or the like. To be possible. Therefore, in the example of the present embodiment, the navigation right is destroyed each time when the transition from RT3 to RT4 in the second advantageous section is made. Therefore, for example, in the case where a plurality of navigation rights are stored in the game information storage area 150 and in the case where one navigation right is stored, there is substantially no difference in the game, and a simple game in this respect Has become feasible.

  Next, a specific example of the transition of the gaming state, the transition of the effect mode, the transition of the gaming section, and the lighting mode of the section indicator 13b will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b).

  First, a specific example shown in FIG. 7A will be described. This specific example is an example in the case of winning the role of RBB in RT1 of the normal mode and not winning the navigation right lottery. When the player is seated in front of the slot machine S and starts the game, the game section is in the normal section, the game state is at RT1, and the effect mode is in the normal mode. Do.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, first, in RT1 in the normal mode at the start of the game, since the game section is in the normal section, the section indicator 13b is turned off. I won the RBB role in RT1 in this normal mode, and based on this RBB role, I decided to shift from the normal section to the second advantageous segment and executed the navigation right lottery, but did not win the navigation right lottery The However, at this stage, the player can not yet recognize the winning result of the navigation right lottery. In addition, by winning the role of RBB in RT1 in this normal mode, it is elected in one game, and while keeping the effect mode in the normal mode, the game section is shifted to the first advantageous section, and the section indicator 13b Was turned on only during the next game in which the player was elected to the one-piece role.

  Also, based on the winning of the RBB role, the gaming state is shifted to the RBB operation, and with this shift, the effect mode is shifted to the RBB mode. Since the game section is in the second advantageous section during the RBB in the RBB mode, the section indicator 13b is turned on. The player will acquire many medals in the RBB operation while expecting to win the navigation right lottery.

  The number of medals paid out exceeded the predetermined number (216) due to the RBB operation. Here, in the final game of the RBB operation, the notification image of the winning result of the navigation right lottery was displayed on the sub monitor 16. That is, in the case of FIG. 7A, the sub monitor 16 notifies the player that the navigation right lottery has not been won. After watching the notification image, the player regains his mind and continues the game.

  Based on the termination of the RBB operation, the game mode is switched from the RBB operation to the non-RT state of the normal state, and the effect mode is transitioned to the normal mode along with this transition. In the non-RT in the normal mode, the game section is in the normal section, so the section indicator 13b is turned off.

  In the non-RT in the normal mode, the player was elected to play a single-player role, and by displaying a blank display for the one-player role, the gaming state was shifted to RT1 while the effect mode remained in the normal mode. As a result, the player returns to RT1 in the normal state again and waits for the player to win the navigation right lottery based on the winning of the RBB role and the winning of the RBB role.

  Next, a specific example shown in FIG. 7B will be described. This specific example is an example in the case of winning the role of RBB in RT1 in the normal mode and winning the navigation right lottery. In the following, it is the same as FIG. 7 (a) except that the navigation rights drawing is not successful until it shifts from RT1 in the normal mode to non-RT in the RT4 transition preparation mode via the RBB operation in the RBB mode. The description is appropriately omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the player is elected to the RBB in RT1 in the normal mode, and it is decided to shift the gaming section to the second advantageous section based on the election to the RBB, and is elected to the navigation right lottery The navigation right is stored in the game information storage area 150. After that, the RBB game is executed in the RBB operation, and the player is notified by the sub monitor 16 that the navigation right lottery has been won in the final game of the RBB operation. With this notification, the player recognizes that the navigation right lottery has been won, and starts to look forward to transition to RT4 which is delighted and advantageous.

  Unlike the specific example shown in FIG. 7A, since the navigation right lottery was won this time, the gaming zone is made to be the second advantageous zone continuing until it shifts to RT 4 based on the completion of the RBB operation, and the gaming state is The transition from the RBB operation to the non-RT in the normal state was made, and with this transition, the effect mode was made to transition to the 0th mode of the RT4 transition preparation mode. In the non-RT in the 0th mode, since the game section is in the second advantageous section, the section indicator 13b is still lit.

  The game state is shifted from non-RT to RT1 by giving a blank display of the one-piece combination based on winning the one-piece combination in the non-RT of the 0th mode, and with this transition, the effect is produced The mode was shifted to the first mode of RT4 transition preparation mode. Even in RT1 in the first mode, since the game section is in the second advantageous section, the section indicator 13b is still kept lit.

  As described above, in the state where the navigation right is stored in the gaming information storage area 150 in the second advantageous section, after transitioning to RT1, each RT transition area (striking ripples A to C) in each RT1 to RT3. Based on winning, the navigation function is executed to suggest the batting order for the player to sequentially transition the gaming state such as RT1 to RT2, RT2 to RT3 and RT3 to RT4, etc. to realize transition to RT4. I did.

  Specifically, first, in RT1 in the first mode, batting order reps A1 to A3 associated with REP2 having a transition function to RT2 are targets of internal lottery, and when batting order rep A1 is won , The navigation function was performed by the sub monitor 16 and the like. In this navigation function, a batting order (striking order 1 and 2 in FIG. 3) that enables winning of REP 2 is displayed on the sub monitor 16 and the like. Then, the stop operation is performed in a batting order suggested by the navi function, and the REP 2 is made a prize, the gaming state is shifted from RT 1 to RT 2 by the winning of this REP 2 and, with this shift, the effect mode is It shifted to 2 mode. Even in RT2 in the second mode, since the game section is in the second advantageous section, the section indicator 13b is still lit. The player can smoothly proceed with the game according to the navigation function, and the expectation of transition to RT4 has been increased.

  Next, in RT2 in the second mode, the batting reps B1 to B3 associated with the REP 4 having the transition function to RT3 are the targets of the internal lottery, and when the batting rep B2 is won, the navi function is It was displayed on the sub monitor 16 grade. In this navigation function, a batting order (striking order 3 and 4 in FIG. 3) that enables winning of REP 4 is displayed on the sub monitor 16 and the like. Then, the stop operation is performed with the batting action suggested by the navi function, and the REP 4 is made to win, the gaming state is shifted from RT 2 to RT 3 by the winning of this REP 4 and, with this shift, the effect mode is It shifted to 3 modes. Even in RT3 of the third mode, since the game section is in the second advantageous section, the section indicator 13b is still kept lit. The player was able to proceed with the game smoothly again according to the navigation function, and the expectation of transition to RT4 was further increased.

  Finally, in RT3 in the third mode, the batting reps C1 to C3 to which the REP5 having the transition function to RT4 is associated are subject to the internal lottery, and when the batting rep C3 is won, the navi function is selected. It was displayed on the sub monitor 16 grade. In this navigation function, a batting order (striking order 5, 6 in FIG. 3) that enables winning of REP 5 is displayed on the sub monitor 16 or the like. Then, the stop operation is performed with the batting action suggested by the navi function, and the REP 5 is made to win, and the game state is shifted from RT 3 to RT 4 by the winning of this REP 5 and, with this shift, the effect mode is RT 4 It shifted to the mode. Further, based on the transition of the gaming state from RT3 to RT4, the navigation right stored in the gaming information storage area 150 is initialized, and the gaming section is switched from the second advantageous section to the normal section to obtain a second advantageous I tried not to let the section last for a long time. Thus, the player has been able to achieve the transition to RT4, which is the purpose of the game in the slot machine S of this embodiment.

  In RT4 in RT4 mode, I played an RT game and advanced the game while suppressing the consumption of medals. Note that a specific example of this RT game will be described later using FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b). At RT 4, based on the winning of the RBB role, the transition to the second advantageous section is determined again, and the navigation right lottery is won, and the navigation right is stored again in the game information storage area 150. Also, based on the winning of the RBB role, the gaming state is shifted to the RBB operation, and with this shift, the effect mode is shifted to the RBB mode. As a result, the RBB game is executed again by the RBB operation, and after the RBB operation ends, transition to the non-RT in the normal state is performed, and along with this transition, the effect mode is transitioned to the 0th mode of the RT4 transition preparation mode.

  After the presentation mode returns to RT4 transition preparation mode non-RT again and this non-RT causes blank display of the one sheet combination based on the winning of the one sheet combination and shifts to RT1, similarly to the above, The navigation function is executed again based on the winning of each RT transition area in RT1 to RT3, the RT promotion reps (REP2, REP4, REP5) are made to win, and transition to RT4 as RT1 RT2 RT3 RT4 and so on Was realized. Thus, in this specific example (b), even after the end of RT4, the transition of the gaming state is repeated as RT4 → RBB operation → non-RT → RT1 → RT2 → RT3 → RT4 → RBB operation →. I looped it. In this loop, since the gaming section is switched from the second advantageous section to the normal section every time the gaming state shifts from RT3 to RT4, the second advantageous section is ended in a predetermined period. Thus, even if RT4 ends once based on the winning of the RBB role in RT4, after that, the above loop repeatedly transfers to RT4 many times, and the player can acquire many medals this time. Very satisfied with the game of.

  Next, a specific example of the RT game in the RT 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b).

  First, a specific example shown in FIG. 8A will be described. This specific example is an example in the case where the player has won the role of RBB in the RT4 normal mode and has won the navigation right lottery after executing the CBB game in the RT game.

  At the beginning of the transition from RT3 to RT4, since the game section is switched from the second advantageous section to the normal section, the effect mode is shifted to the RT4 normal mode, and the section indicator 13b is turned off. In RT4 corresponding to this RT4 mode, since the game section is a normal section, the navigation function can not be executed, but a maximum of 2000 games can be executed while maintaining a high probability of winning the replay player combination. It is possible to obtain many medals by winning multiple CBB roles.

  In RT4 in the RT4 normal mode, based on the winning of the CBB role, the gaming state is shifted to the CBB operation, and along with this shift, the effect mode is shifted to the CBB mode. In the CBB operation of the CBB mode, since the game section is in the normal section, the section indicator 13b is still turned off. The player has acquired many medals until the number of medals paid out exceeds a predetermined number (150) while maintaining the winning probability of the replay player combination at a high probability. In particular, in FIG. 8A, although the CBB role is won once as an example, in RT game with RT4, the number of winning CBB roles is large within the range of up to 2000 games. Certainly, it is possible to repeat the transition between RT4 and CBB activation as in RT4 → CBB activation → RT4 → CBB activation → ..., and this makes it possible to maintain a large number of replay player winning probabilities while maintaining a high probability. It is possible to earn medals.

  In addition, every time you win the CBB role by RT4 in this RT4 normal mode, every time you win the one-piece role, while shifting the production mode to the RT4 advantage mode, the game section is based on the winning of the one-piece role The transition to the first advantageous section lasting only during the game of the turn was made, and the section indicator 13b was turned on again during the one game, and then turned off again. In other words, in the RT4 mode, every time one player wins the winning combination, the RT4 normal mode and the RT4 advantageous mode are repeatedly exchanged. That is, in the slot machine S of this embodiment, in the RT4 mode, the normal section and the advantageous section are reciprocated based on the winning of the one-piece winning combination having a winning probability of about 1/10. The advantageous section also does not continue for a long time. Therefore, even when the number of games in the advantageous section is limited to, for example, 1,500, it is possible to play a game without worrying about the limitation.

  Based on the fact that the number of medals paid out exceeds the predetermined number (150) in the CBB operation, the gaming state is shifted to RT4, and with this shift, the effect mode is shifted to RT4 normal mode. In RT4 in the RT4 normal mode, since the game section is in the normal section, the section indicator 13b is still turned off.

  In RT4 in RT4 normal mode, he was elected to the role of RBB. Here, based on the winning of the RBB role, the navigation right lottery having a 50% winning probability is executed, and the navigation right lottery is won. Also, based on the winning of the RBB role, the gaming state is shifted to the RBB operation, and with this shift, the effect mode is shifted to the RBB mode. In the RBB operation of the RBB mode, since the game section is in the second advantageous section, the section indicator 13b is turned on. Although illustration is omitted, after transitioning to RT4 transition preparation mode of FIG. 7 (b) based on the completion of RBB operation, transition to RT4 is realized in the same manner as FIG. 7 (b). I did.

  Next, a specific example shown in FIG. 8B will be described. This specific example is an example in the case of winning the role of RBB in the RT4 advantageous mode and winning the navigation right lottery after executing the CBB game in the RT game. In addition, since it transfers to RT4 of RT4 normal mode again from RT4 of RT4 normal mode via CBB operation | movement in the following, since it is the same as the example of the said FIG. 8 (a), the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  At RT4 in the RT4 normal mode, which was shifted after the CBB operation ended, the shift to the first advantageous section was determined based on the winning of the one-sheet winning combination. Then, based on the end of the game in which the winning combination of 1 sheet is won, the effect mode is shifted to the RT4 advantageous mode, and the section display 13b is turned on. Further, during the first advantageous section, the player is elected to the RBB role, and based on the election to the RBB role, the navigation right lottery having a winning probability of 80% is executed, and the navigation right lottery is won. As described above, in the RT4 mode, based on having won the role of RBB in the RT4 advantageous mode, rather than the navigation right lottery (first navigation right lottery) executed based on the winning of the role of the RBB in the RT4 normal mode. By setting the winning probability higher for the navigation rights lottery (second navigation rights lottery) to be executed, the degree of expectation for the winning of the navigation rights lottery changes according to which game section is staying at RT 4 It can be done. In addition, since it is the same as the specific example of Fig.8 (a) after winning an RBB role, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As described above, in the slot machine S of this embodiment, REP5 (requirement of transition from RT3 (first state) to RT4 (second state), which is an advantageous state, is made in plural types of winning areas. Several types of batting reps C1 to C3 in which a plurality of types of roles including two or more types of roles including a first replay player combination and REP2 or REP6 (second replay player combination) that do not trigger transition from RT3 to RT4 are won in duplicate. The reel control means 104 includes a plurality of types of first winning areas) and a bell, a watermelon or a cherry (a plurality of types of second winning areas) to which NMLs 1 to 9 (small players) are associated. In the batting order (the first specific operation mode according to the type of the first winning area) in which the stop buttons 10 to 12 enable winning of the REP 5 when any of plural types of batting reps C1 to C3 is won at RT3. operation Operation to stop the plurality of reels 5 to 7 to win the REP 5 based on the operation and the stop buttons 10 to 12 can win the REP 2 or REP 6 (operation mode different from the first specific operation mode) Stop a plurality of reels 5 to 7 to make REP 2 or REP 6 a prize based on being done, and when a bell, watermelon or cherry is won in any of a plurality of types of states, a stop button 10 to 12 The plurality of reels 5 to 7 are stopped to enable winning of the NMLs 1 to 9 based on the operation of the.

  In addition, the gaming state control means (state transition means) 109 makes the transition from RT3 to RT4 based on the winning of REP5 in RT3, while RT4 from RT3 based on the winning of REP2 or REP6 in RT3. Not to shift to When the main monitor control means (instruction function execution means) 108 wins the bell, watermelon or cherry in a state where the navigation right is given in any state of a plurality of types of states except RT4, the sub monitor A batting order that enables a REP 5 to be won if any of a plurality of batting reps C1 to C3 are won in a state where the navigation right (instruction right) is granted in RT3 without the navigation function being performed on 16th, etc. The navigation function (instruction function) pertaining to is executed by the sub monitor 16 etc. (predetermined device), and the navigation right is discarded based on the transition from RT3 to RT4 and the navigation function can not be executed by the sub monitor 16 etc. in RT4. .

  That is, according to the slot machine S of this embodiment, when the bell, watermelon or cherry is won in a state where the navigation right is granted in any state except RT4, the operation of the stop button 10 to 12 is performed. If the sub monitor 16 or the like does not execute the navigation function according to the aspect, and if any of a plurality of batting reps C1 to C3 is won in a state where the navigation right is granted in RT3, a winning of REP 5 is possible The sub monitor 16 or the like executes the navigation function according to the batting order. Then, the player can easily realize the transition from RT3 to RT4 by winning the REP 5 based on the stop button 10 to 12 being stopped and operated in a batting order that enables the REP 5 to be won. Also, since the navigation right is destroyed based on the transition to RT4, any navigation function can not be performed by the sub monitor 16 or the like in RT4, but RT4 is more advantageous than RT3. There is. Therefore, even if the navigation function is not executed, it is difficult to reduce the player's willingness to play the game.

  Further, according to the slot machine S of this embodiment, the RT4 is in an advantageous gaming state in which the winning probability of the replay player is higher than that of the RTs 1 to 3 and the RT4 can be transferred only from the RT3. On the other hand, RTs 1 to 3 can be mutually transferred by, for example, blank display of one sheet. Further, based on the transition of the gaming state to such RT4, the game section is shifted to the normal section, and in the case of RT4, the case of staying in the first advantageous section continuing only during one game is excluded. Control to stay on the regular section. Therefore, unlike the conventional gaming machines equipped with AT gaming (so-called ART gaming) in which the winning probability of the replay player during the advantageous section is set to high probability, in the present embodiment, RT4 Then, it is possible to execute an advantageous game without making the game section a normal section and executing the navigation function.

  In addition, unlike RT1 to RT3, RT4 is limited RT in order to prevent transition to RT1 (falling) even when the player is elected to the one-sheet role in the RT4 and the blank display of the one-sheet role is performed. It is configured to be Specifically, the number of games that can be continued in RT4 is preset to a maximum of 2000 times, and RT4 is configured to end based on execution of 2000 times of games. Also, in RT4, based on the transition of the gaming state to the RT4, the game section becomes a normal section, and the winning probability is set to approximately 1 / 10.0 based on the winning of one winning combination. Since the regular section and the advantageous section are frequently exchanged, the advantageous section does not continue for a long time at RT4. Therefore, even when the number of games in the advantageous section is restricted to, for example, 1,500, it is possible to play the game without worrying about this restriction. It is possible.

  Further, according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment, the CBB operation is configured such that the RTs staying during and after the CBB operation become the same RT before transition to the CBB operation. If the player wins the CBB at RT4, the gaming state control means 109 shifts from RT4 to CBB operation, maintains RT4 in the CBB operation, and transitions to RT4 again after CBB gaming at CBB operation ends. . Therefore, in RT4, it is possible to execute a game with a high probability of winning a replay player, and it is possible to obtain many medals in a CBB game in CBB operation, and stay at RT4 again after the CBB operation ends. RT game can be executed. Therefore, since RT game in RT 4 and CBB game in CBB operation can be repeatedly performed, it is possible to advance the game while suppressing consumption of medals in RT 4 and to acquire many medals in CBB operation. Can.

  Further, in the slot machine of this embodiment, since the CBB winning probability is set to a different probability (for example, about 1/60 to about 1/50) in each of setting values 1 to 6, setting is made. By changing the value between 1 and 6 and appropriately adjusting the CBB winning probability within a predetermined range, it is possible to change the transition probability from the normal state to the CBB operation. As a result, the payout rate of the slot machine S can be varied variously to further improve the playability. In particular, as the setting value of the slot machine S is closer to 6, the probability of winning the CBB role can be increased, so the possibility of achieving a large amount of medal acquisition by the CBB game becomes high, making the player a game. It can attract you.

  Furthermore, according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment, when winning the navigation right lottery executed based on the winning of the RBB role, the gaming section is shifted to the second advantageous section which continues until it shifts to RT4. In this second advantageous section, if RT1 wins batting order Rep A, the navigation function suggests a batting order that enables the winning of REP2 having the transition (promotion) function from RT1 to RT2, and the batting order in RT2 In the case of winning the REP B, the navigation function suggests a batting order enabling REP 4 having a transition (promotion) function from RT 2 to RT 3 with the navigation function, and in the case of winning the batting REP C by RT 3 from RT 3 The navigation function suggests the batting order that enables REP 5 having a transition (promotion) function to RT 4 to be awarded. By doing this, it is possible to avoid the batting in which the RT maintains or falls in each of the RTs 1 to 3 and urge the player to perform the stop operation in the batting in which the RT is promoted. As a result, the player performs the stop operation in a batting order according to the navigation function, thereby easily winning REP1 when winning a batting rep A in RT1, REP4 when batting a rep bat B in RT2, and winning REP5 when batting a rep C in RT3. It can be done. As a result, it is possible to easily shift to RT4 without spending many games in RT1 to RT3.

  In addition, it is possible to shift the game section from the normal section to the second advantageous section again based on the winning of the RBB role at RT 4 once shifted, and also win the navigation right lottery executed based on the winning of the RBB role. For example, in the same manner as described above, it is possible to easily realize the transition to RT4 again after the end of the RBB operation without requiring a large number of games. That is, as long as the slot machine S of this embodiment has won the navigation right lottery even after the RT game is finished based on the winning of the RBB role in RT4, as described above, the slot machine S is in the second advantageous section. By performing the stop operation in a batting order in accordance with the navigation function, it is possible to play a game that repeats the transition to RT4 such as RT4 → RBB operation → non-RT → RT1 to 3 → RT4 → RBB operation →.

  Further, according to the slot machine S of the present embodiment, when any of a plurality of batting bells (a plurality of second specific winning areas) A1 to A3 are won in any of the gaming states, the stop button 10 When the NML 6 wins by being operated in the correct answer batting order (the second specific operation mode) which allows the NML 6 to achieve the NML 6 win, the pair of speakers 15 announces that the NML 6 has won (specific sound Output). On the other hand, even if the NML 7 wins because the stop button 10 to 12 is stopped in the incorrect answering order (operation mode different from the second specific operation mode) enabling the NML 7 to win, any small winning combination Even if the player does not win a prize, the pair of speakers 15 does not output sound.

  According to this configuration, in a configuration in which the navigation function is not executed when the batting bell A is won, the player is notified that the NML 6 paying out the nine medals, which is the maximum medal payout number, is won when the batting bell A is won. As a result, the player can understand that nine medals can be obtained by this notification. Therefore, since it is possible to grasp the game result when winning the batting bell A, it is possible to easily understand the game situation. In addition, since the sound is output or not output depending on whether or not the operation is performed with the correct batting order when the batting bell A is won, it is difficult to produce a monotonous effect, and it is possible to make the player hard to get bored with the game.

  In the present embodiment, the first specific operation mode and the second specific operation mode are the operation modes of the stop buttons 10 to 12 that are advantageous for the player, and for example, the first specific operation mode is a batting order lip It corresponds to the correct batting order when winning A to C. In this embodiment, the first specific operation which is a batting order according to the navigation function when each RT transition area (strikeout letters A to C) is won in a state where the navigation right is given in each RT 1 to 3 in the advantageous section. By performing the stop operation of the stop button 10 to 12 in the form, that is, the correct sequence, the winning of each RT promotion rep (REP2, REP4, REP5) is made possible, and the transition from RT1 to RT4 is easily realized to play a game Can lead to an advantageous situation for

  In addition, the slot machine S of the present embodiment example, when the navigation right is stored in the gaming information storage area 150 during the advantageous section, the main monitor is selected only when the RT transition area (strikeouts A to C) is won. It is comprised so that a navigation function may be performed to rendering devices, such as 13 and a sub monitor 16. As shown in FIG. That is, in the present embodiment, the winning combination that is the trigger for executing the navigation function does not include the small winning combination. Therefore, when the navigation right is stored in the gaming information storage area 150 during the advantageous section, the navigation function is not executed based on the winning of the small winning combination. In particular, in the present embodiment, unlike the gaming machine on which the conventional AT game is implemented, for example, even if the batting order bell A is won in any gaming state in the advantageous section with the navigation right granted, the navigation is It does not execute the function. Therefore, when the game section is in the advantageous section, it is bound to the end condition that the advantageous section can not be ended unless the navigation function for the winning according to the maximum payout number of medals is executed at least once. Therefore, the continuation of the advantageous section can be determined arbitrarily, and a gaming machine with a high degree of freedom can be provided.

  In the above configuration, the batting area A is provided with the batting bell A, and the navigation function is not executed when the batting bell A is won in any gaming state in a state where the navigation right is granted, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the batting bell A itself may not be provided in the winning area. Also in this case, the continuation of the advantageous section can be determined arbitrarily without being bound by the above-mentioned end condition, and a gaming machine with a high degree of freedom can be provided.

  In the slot machine S of this embodiment, in the CBB operation, all the winning flags of the small winnings are set to ON at the start of each game in the CBB, and a symbol combination corresponding to the small winnings rather than the re-playing winnings. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the winning probability of the small winning combination in the CBB operation may be set to 1 / 1.0. By doing this, as in the slot machine of the first embodiment, since it is always possible to win a small role in the CBB game in the CBB operation, it is possible to obtain many medals in the CBB operation.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the navigation function is not executed in the RT4 which is advantageous to the player, even if the batting order is not in accordance with the navigation function, the stop operation is performed by so-called forward pressing to perform RT gaming. It can be done. Therefore, it is possible to perform the stop operation of the stop button 10 to 12 which is relatively easy for the player of the forward push, so that the game can be smoothly advanced. In addition, since there is no possibility of occurrence of a penalty based on the order of depression of the stop buttons 10 to 12 by the player at the time of executing the navigation function, a slot machine easy for the player can be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the game section control means 107 determines the transition to the second advantageous section based on the winning of the RBB role, and wins the navigation rights lottery based on the winning of the RBB position, and the navigation rights lottery The navigation function can be executed when each RT 1 to 3 is won in each of the RTs 1 to 3 with the navigation right granted by the means 110c, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the game zone control means 107 is not provided. The configuration may be adopted. In this case, no game section (normal section, advantageous section) is provided, and the navigation function can be executed under predetermined conditions. That is, by winning the navigation right lottery executed based on the winning of the RBB role, in the state where the navigation right is granted by the navigation right lottery means 110c, when winning in the batting order A to C in each RT 1 to 3 The navigation function can be performed. Even if such a configuration is adopted, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.
