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

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

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

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

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

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, among the winning combinations, the re-playing combination includes Lips 1 to 21. In addition, the replay role is generally referred to simply as replay.

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

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

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

In any RT state, when the bonus is won in the game won by the bonus, the bonus state is carried over and the gaming state shifts to the inside, and when the bonus is won in the game won by the game, the gaming state is changed. Transfer to bonus. When a bonus is won in the inside, the gaming state shifts to the bonus.

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

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

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

These re-playing combinations include a combination that is a lottery target and a combination that is not a lottery target, depending on the type of RT state. In the gaming state column shown in FIG. 8, a lottery target combination to be a lottery target is indicated by a circle for each RT type. For example, the direct hit replay is a lottery target only at RT0 and can be won, but is not a lottery target in other RT states. Further, strong cherries and weak cherries are not subject to lottery only at RT0. In addition, 7
Replays 1 to 6 are not lottery targets at RT0 to RT2, but RT3 and R
It is a lottery target at T4.

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

Each of the above-described lottery target roles is assigned a role number. In FIG. 8, the lottery target roles with large assigned number are arranged in order from the top. In the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the lottery target combination having the largest combination number has been won sequentially.

As shown in FIG. 9, each lottery target combination described above includes a combination of a plurality of winning combinations to be a lottery target. For example, in the push order bell, the bell, the AT combination, and the one-sheet combination are subject to lottery, and when winning, all of these combinations are won. With regard to other lottery target roles, a predetermined role is overlapped and becomes a lottery target.

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

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

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

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

When navigation is performed by the main control unit 41, the stop switch 8 is used as navigation information.
Numbers and alphabets corresponding to the operation mode of L, 8C, 8R
Segments are displayed. Notification of navigation information performed by the navigation of the main control unit 41 is also referred to as navigation notification.

When navigation is performed by the sub control unit 91, the stop switch 8L is used as navigation information.
, 8C, 8R are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as numerical images corresponding to the operation modes. The notification of the navigation information performed by the navigation of the sub control unit 91 is also referred to as navigation effect.

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

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

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

In the present embodiment, in the advantageous section, a precursor state, CZ, and two types of AT (AT1,
AT2) and a specialization zone are included. In the present embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous section is won, it is determined by the advantageous section sorting lottery that only the precursor state is either the CZ transition or the AT transition after the precursor state as the type of the advantageous section. The number of games in the advantageous section is determined by lottery.

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

When the bonus is won in the normal section, the control is performed in the standby section in which the control to the advantageous section is on standby until the bonus is won. The standby section is controlled to be an advantageous section when a bonus is won.

When being controlled to the advantageous section, it shifts to the normal section based on the satisfaction of the predetermined end condition. The predetermined end condition includes a condition that is satisfied when a numerical value updated during the advantageous section reaches a specific value regardless of the type of the advantageous section. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 counts the number of digest games in the advantageous section (also referred to as the advantageous section G number). When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, the main control unit 41 initializes all the data related to the advantageous sections, and shifts to the normal section by ending the advantageous sections being executed. In this case, for example, when the advantageous section being executed is CZ, CZ is ended even if the number of CZ games still remains. For example, when the advantageous section being executed is AT, AT ends even if the number of AT games still remains.

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

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

In the advantageous section, a lottery relating to the instruction function is performed. In the lottery pertaining to the instruction function, AT
And a lottery to extend the duration of the AT. While controlled in the standby section, lottery related to the navigation and instruction functions is not performed. When the winning combination with the setting difference is won, the drawing for the instructing function is not performed, but when the winning combination without the setting difference is won, the drawing for the instructing function may be performed. It should be noted that, unlike the transition from the normal section to the advantageous section, regardless of whether or not the winning probability of the internal lottery changes in accordance with the RT state, if it is a combination with no setting difference, Such a lottery can be performed.

The precursor state and CZ are states in which the degree of advantage regarding control to the AT is higher than that in the normal section. A high degree of advantage for control to AT is the right to control AT. A
It includes that a T game can be awarded, that the probability of controlling to the AT (probability of winning in a lottery relating to the indication function) is higher than that in the normal section, and that more AT games are awarded than in the normal section.

The prognostic state is a state in which navigation can not be performed longer than CZ, AT (AT1, AT2), and the specialization zone, and is the least advantageous state among the advantageous sections. In the precursor state, after the effect image by the battle effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 over a plurality of games, the advantageous section continues or shifts to the normal section according to the result of the battle in the final game of the battle effect Is notified.

AT is in a more favorable state than the aura and CZ. For example, the AT guarantees a longer period when navigation can be performed than the aura and CZ. Or
In the AT, the number of times that navigation can be performed is guaranteed more than in the aura and CZ. In this way, the AT can guarantee a longer navigation period than the aura and CZ, so it can, for example, increase the number of games for winning the leading role when the bell is won, and has an advantage over the aura and the CZ. The degree becomes higher.

In the present embodiment, two types of AT, AT1 and AT2 are provided. CZ
Whether to be controlled by AT1 or AT2 may be determined by a lottery relating to the pointing function, or may be selectable by the player at the time of AT winning.

AT1 is an AT whose duration is controlled by the number of games. When control to AT 1 is determined by lottery relating to an instruction function during CZ, a predetermined number of games (for example, a predetermined number of games such as 50 games or a game determined by lottery) is determined as the first AT game number Is granted. Furthermore, the duration of AT1 is extended by the addition of the number of AT games by the additional drawing in the AT1 and in the specialization zone. Note that the number of AT games to be added is also referred to as "the number of G added." In AT1, the number of AT games determined from among the number of AT games of a plurality of types is added. For example, in the present embodiment, the additional G number is given in any of 1 to 200 games. When all undigested remaining AT game numbers (that is, the number of remaining advantage G numbers) are completely consumed, AT1 ends. In AT1, a character effect by a character selected by the player is performed.

AT2 is an AT whose duration is managed in the form of the number of games and the number of sets. The number of AT games corresponding to one set may be determined in advance, or may be determined by lottery when control to AT 2 is determined, and in the present embodiment, the number of AT games of 50 games is one. Is a set. When control to AT 2 is determined by lottery relating to an instruction function during CZ, a predetermined number of sets (for example, a predetermined number of sets such as one set, or a number of sets determined by lottery) is determined as the initial number of sets Is granted. Furthermore, by adding the number of sets (additional G number) by adding lottery during AT2 or specialized zone,
The duration of AT2 is extended. In AT2, the number of AT games corresponding to the number of sets determined from a plurality of types of sets is added. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of additional Gs is given in any one of 1 to 10 sets. When all the remaining AT game numbers corresponding to the number of undigested sets (that is, the advantageous remaining G number) are digested, AT2 ends. In AT2, for example, a battle effect between an ally character and an enemy character is performed in one set of remaining predetermined games (for example, 10 games). In the battle effect, if the number of sets (the number of remaining advantage G) not notified to the player remains, the ally character is finally won, and the next set is shifted to continue the AT 2 while the player is If the number of sets not notified (the number of advantageous remaining G) does not remain, the teammate character is eventually defeated and AT2 ends.

Note that AT1 and AT2 may have the same expected value of the duration of the AT, or one of the ATs may have a higher expected value of the duration.

The specialized zone can be shifted only from the AT and can extend the duration of the AT. As shown in FIG. 7, the state controlled by AT in RT3 is also referred to as ART. In ART, when a predetermined condition is established, a special zone lottery to determine whether or not to shift to a special zone is executed as a lottery relating to the instruction function when the main control unit 41 is selected. To the zone.

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

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

In the AT and the specialization zone, an AT addition lottery is performed, which makes it possible to extend the duration of the AT when a predetermined condition is satisfied. If you win an extra in the extra lottery, the number of AT games will be added.

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

(Common start processing)
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the common start process. The main control unit 41 executes the common start process when the start switch 7 is operated with the number of bets set.
As shown in FIG. 11, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section flag = ON (S10). During the advantageous section flag is data indicating that the advantageous section is in progress.

When the flag of the advantageous section is not ON (NO in S10), the main control section 41 determines whether or not the lottery type 1> 0 (S21). The lottery type 1 is an advantage section transition role (bonus 1
, 2, advantageous data of advantageous strong cherry, advantageous weak cherry, middle stage cherry, advantageous normal replay).

When the lottery type 1> 0 (YES in S21), the main control unit 41 executes an advantageous section winning process (S22), and proceeds to the process of S19. The process of winning the advantageous section is a process of determining the type (CZ, AT1, AT2) of the advantageous section, or determining the number of first games of the advantageous section (the number of CZ games and the number of AT games). Note that the advantageous section middle flag is set to ON in the advantageous section winning process. When the main control unit 41 does not have lottery type 1> 0 (S
21) and the process proceeds to S19.

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

If the bonus is not in effect (NO in S14), the main control unit 41 determines whether it is in the interior (S15). If the main control unit 41 is not inside (NO in S15), the main control unit 41 sets data indicating the main state to the main state next time (S16). The main state is a state controlled by the main control unit 41 and is a state other than the gaming state (RT state). Specifically, the main state includes a normal section, a precursor state, CZ, AT1, AT2, a specialized zone, and an ending state. The main control unit 41 sets one of these states as the main state.

The ending state is a state in which it is determined that the control to the advantageous section is continued until the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games. In the present embodiment, the ending state is controlled on condition that the sum of the value of an ending state counter (to be described later) and the advantageous remaining G number reaches 1000. When controlled to the ending state, the advantageous remaining G number is not subtracted (specifically, in FIG. 13, which will be described later, since it is determined as YES in S40, the process of S43 is not performed), for each game. The advantageous section G number counter is incremented by 1 in the process of S11 of FIG. Therefore, it is determined that control to the advantageous section continues until the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 games. That is, substantially 500 games are given as the number of games in the advantageous section until the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state = ending state (see FIG.
S16a). When the main control unit 41 is in the main state = ending state (S16a
YES), the process proceeds to S19.

If the main control unit 41 is not in the main state = ending state (NO in S16a),
The ending state counter is incremented by 1 (S17a). What is an ending state counter?
It is a counter for determining whether or not to control to the ending state, and is counted in a game that is not in the inside and not yet in the ending state in the advantageous section.

After adding 1 to the ending state counter, the main control unit 41 executes an ending state determination process (S17b), and proceeds to the process of S19. The ending state determination process
This will be described later with reference to FIG.

The main control unit 41 executes start processing of each main state (S19). The start process of each main state will be described later with reference to FIG. Next, the main control unit 41 executes navigation processing (S20). The navigation processing is processing for executing navigation on condition that the flag in the advantageous section = ON. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 ends the common start process.

In the process of S14, the main control unit 41 determines that a bonus is being given (YES in S14).
), End common start processing. Further, in the process of S15, the main control unit 41
If it is inside (YES in S15), the common start process is ended. In this way, during the bonus or inside, since the processing of S17a and S19 are skipped and not executed, the ending state counter may be added, or S4 in FIG. 13 described later.
The advantage residual G number counter is not decremented by three. On the other hand, the number G of advantageous sections is added in the process of S11 prior to the processes of S14 and S15. For this reason, the number of advantageous sections G is added both in the bonus and in the interior as long as it is in the advantageous section.

(Ending judgment process)
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the ending state determination process. As shown in FIG. 12, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G is 1000 or more (S251). If the ending state counter + advantageous remaining G number ≧ 1000 is not satisfied (NO in S251), the main control unit 41 ends the ending state determination process. On the other hand, the main control unit 41 sets the ending state counter + the remaining advantage G
If the number is greater than or equal to 1000 (YES in S251), the main state is set to the ending state next time (S252), and the ending state determination process is ended.

(Start process of each main state)
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining start processing in each main state. As shown in FIG. 13, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state = the normal section or the ending state (S40). When the main state is the normal section or the ending state (YES in S40), the main control unit 41 ends the start process of each main state. As described above, when the main state is the ending state, none of the processes included in the start process of each main state is executed. For this reason, when the main state is the ending state, the advantageous remaining G number counter as described below is not subtracted (the process of S43).

On the other hand, when the main state is not the normal section or the main state is not the ending state (NO in S40), the main control unit 41 decrements the advantageous remaining G counter in the advantageous section under control by 1 (S43). For example, if it is in CZ, 1 is subtracted from the number of remaining G of CZ. Further, when the vehicle is in the AT, 1 is subtracted from the advantageous remaining G number of the AT.

The main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is an addition of the number G of advantageous residuals (S43a). In other words, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not there is an additional number of AT games due to a lottery or the like related to the instruction function. When the main control unit 41 adds the number G of remaining advantages (S 43 a
(YES in step S43b), the addition value is added to the advantageous residual G number. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 executes an ending state determination process (S43c), and shifts to the process of S44.

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

When the main control unit 41 wins the lottery related to the instruction function (YES in S44), the main control unit 41 sets the next main state (S45). For example, when the AT right is granted during CZ, the main control unit 41 sets the next main state during AT preparation. In addition, the main control unit 41
If the special zone right is granted during AT, the next main state is set during special zone preparation. On the other hand, when the lottery related to the instruction function is not won (NO in S44), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous remaining G number = 0 for the advantageous section being controlled (S46).
.

The main control unit 41 determines that the advantageous remaining G number = 0 for the advantageous section under control (S46).
Yes), the normal section return time process is executed (S47). The normal section return process is shown in FIG.
Will be described later with reference to FIG. On the other hand, the main control unit 41 ends the start process of each main state when the advantageous remaining section under control is not equal to the remaining G number = 0 (NO in S46) or after the processes of S45 and S47.

(Process when returning to normal section)
FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the normal section return process. As shown in FIG. 14, first, the main control unit 41 sets the main state to a normal section (S151).

Next, the main control unit 41 executes advantageous interval end determination processing (S152). The advantageous section end determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. After that, the main control unit 41 ends the normal section return process.

(Determining section end judgment processing)
FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the advantageous section end determination process. As shown in FIG. 15, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether the next main state is a normal section and the number of remaining advantages G is 0 (S171). In the process of S171, the main control unit 41
It is determined whether or not all the remaining residual G numbers such as CZ, AT, and the specialization zone are zero.
In addition, in the case where a precursor period of the predetermined number of games is provided before the transition to the specialization zone, it is also determined whether the number G of advantageous remaining G in the precursor period is zero.

When the next main state is a normal section and the number of remaining available G is not 0 (NO in S171), the main control section 41 ends the advantageous section end determination process. On the other hand, the main control unit 41
When the next main state is a normal section and the number of remaining advantage G is 0 (YES in S171)
It is determined whether the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF (S172). The advantageous section navigation wait flag is data indicating whether or not the navigation in which the winning combination (in the present embodiment, the main character, the bell) occurs is performed at least once during the advantageous section. .

The main control unit 41 does not hold the advantageous section navigation wait flag = OFF (NO in S172)
Then, the advantageous section end determination process is ended. On the other hand, when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF (YES in S172), the main control section 41 sets the advantageous section end flag = ON (S)
173). After that, the main control unit 41 ends the advantageous section end determination process.

(Game end processing)
FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the game end process. The main control unit 41 executes a game end process when one game is ended. As shown in FIG. 16, first, the main control unit 4
1 executes an advantageous section end determination process (S81).

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

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

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

As described above, the main control unit 41 controls the progress of the game by executing the various processes shown in FIGS.

[Display of G number added at AT1]
An example of the display of the number of additional Gs in the AT 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17A is a diagram for explaining an example of the display of the number of added G in the case where the ending is not determined by the addition at AT 1.

As shown in FIG. 17A, the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 in AT1 includes an area 51a located at the upper left of the screen, an area 51b located at the upper right of the screen, and an area located at the upper center of the screen. 51c, an area 51d located at the center of the screen, and an area 51e located at the lower part of the screen. The area 51a shows the total number of medals paid out during ART, and the area 51b
Shows the number of remaining games in the advantageous section (the number of remaining G), and the region 51c shows the character image of the English "LAST" as a character indicating that the number in the region 51b is the number of remaining G. Then, various effect images such as characters are shown in the area 51d, and navigation information is shown in the area 51e.

In this example, it is assumed that the value of the ending state counter being counted by the main control unit 41 is 400, and the number of unabsorbed advantage residual G is 200. In other words,
The total value of the ending status counter currently counted and the number of remaining advantage G is 60
Assume a case of zero.

In this state, a case where the number of additional Gs is notified when the third stop operation is performed will be described.
As shown in (b) of FIG. 17 (A), when the number of added G is 10 games, the combined value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantage G is 600 at present, so 10 for the number of remaining advantage G
Even if the game is added, the total value does not reach 1000, and the condition for controlling to the ending state is not satisfied. In this case, in the region 51f at the center of the screen in the liquid crystal display 51,
An oval icon with a letter indicating the added G number “+ 10G” as it is is displayed in such a manner that the player can recognize the added G number.

As shown in (c) of FIG. 17 (A), even when the additional G number is 100 games, the total value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number is 600 at the present time. Even if 100 games are added, the total value does not reach 1000, and the condition for controlling the ending state is not satisfied. Also in this case, in the area 51f at the center of the screen in the liquid crystal display 51, the player adds "G" of the number G of "+1" in a manner that allows the player to recognize the number of G.
An oval icon is displayed with a letter indicating "00G" as it is.

As shown in FIG. 17 (A), when the ending is not yet determined by the addition,
In a mode that allows the player to recognize the additional G number, an icon with a letter indicating the additional G number as it is is displayed.

FIG. 17B is a diagram for explaining an example of the display of the number of added G in the case where the ending is determined by the addition at AT 1.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 17 (B), the value of the ending state counter is 7 in this example.
It is assumed that the value is 00 and the undigested advantage residual G number is 200. That is, it is assumed that the total value of the ending state counter counted up to now and the advantageous remaining G number is 900.

In this state, a case where the number of additional Gs is notified when the third stop operation is performed will be described.
As shown in (b) of FIG. 17 (B), when the number of added G is 100 games or more, the sum of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantage G is 900 at present, so By adding 100 games or more, the total value reaches 1000, which satisfies the condition for controlling to the ending state. In this case, in the area 51f at the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, an oval icon with a character indicating "+ ???? G" is displayed in a mode in which the player can not recognize the additional G number. Is done.

As described above, the ending state is a state where it is determined that the control to the advantageous section is continued until the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games, and the sum value of the value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number is The number of AT games for 500 games is uniformly awarded on condition that the number has reached 1000. For this reason, when the ending is confirmed by adding, regardless of the size of the added G, the advantageous section is guaranteed until the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games, but on the other hand, the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games. After reaching, the advantageous section ends and shifts to the normal section. That is, even if a player has a sum of the ending state counter value and the advantageous remaining G number slightly exceeding 1000 due to the addition, the sum of the ending state counter value and the advantageous remaining G number is 1000 due to the addition. Even players who greatly exceeded
Uniformly, the limit of the advantageous section is 1500 games.

If the ending is confirmed by the addition, as shown in FIG. 17A, the player can recognize the added G number and displays an icon with the character indicating the added G number as it is. A player whose combined value of the value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number greatly exceeds 1000 due to the addition may recognize that an additional G number that cannot be digested has occurred and may be dissatisfied. Therefore, in this embodiment, FIG.
) When the ending is confirmed by adding, as shown in the figure, an icon with a letter in which the added G number is unclear is displayed in a manner in which the player cannot recognize the added G number. . Specifically, such as “+ ?????? G”, the addition is reported so as to recall a 4-digit number that does not apply to any of the 1 to 200 games that can be added and cannot recognize the number of digits. Is done.

[Directing when ending is confirmed at AT1]
An example of the effect at the time of ending determination in AT 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 18. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect in the case where the ending is confirmed by the addition in AT1.

As shown in FIG. 18 (a), in the screen 51 of the liquid crystal display 51, "900" is shown as the total number of medals paid out during ART in the area 51a at the upper left of the screen. “200 G” is shown as the number of advantageous residual G in FIG.
As a letter indicating that "200 G" in the area 51b is the remaining G number, the English "LA"
The character image of “ST” is shown, the character image selected by the player is shown in the area 51d at the center of the screen, and the navigation information is shown in the area 51e at the bottom of the screen. Further, in this example, it is assumed that the value of the ending state counter is 700 and the undigested advantage residual G number is 200. That is, it is assumed that the total value of the ending state counter counted up to now and the advantageous remaining G number is 900.

As shown in FIG. 18B, when the number of AT games of 100 or more is added, the total value of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantage G reaches 1000. In this case, when the third stop operation is performed, as described in FIG.
In an area 51f in the center of the screen in 1, an icon with a letter “+ ?????? G” attached thereto is displayed in a manner in which the player cannot recognize the added G number.

As shown in FIG. 18C, thereafter, an icon with a letter indicating “PUSH” prompting the operation of the effect switch 56 is displayed in the area 51 g at the center of the screen.

As shown in FIG. 18D, when the effect switch 56 is operated, an icon with a character indicating "+600" is displayed in the area 51h at the center of the screen. That is, among the total number (600 games or more) of the number of games added by the player (100 games or more) and the number of games added as a privilege when reaching the ending (500 games or more), the advantageous section G The number of digestible AT games is informed before the number reaches 1500 games. For example,
When the number of games added by the player is 200 games, the total value of the 500 games added as a bonus is 700 games, but the total value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number is already 900. Of the 700 games of the combined addition value,
Only 600 games that can be consumed are announced by the time the number reaches 1500 games. Thus, as the number of games added by the player himself increases, the number of games that cannot be digested increases, but as shown in FIG. 18B, the number of games added by the player himself. Is "+
? ? ? ? As indicated by the letter “G”, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing how many indigestible games are. Further, even if there is an additional G number that has already been given but has not yet been notified, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing how much it is. When the effect switch 56 is operated, freeze may be performed to delay the start operation for starting the next game or activation of the BET operation, or the entire screen becomes dark for a predetermined period. A so-called blackout effect may be performed.

As shown in FIG. 18 (e), after that, a character indicating “Ending Entry !!” is displayed in the area 51i in the center of the screen to notify that the ending state is entered. When being controlled to the ending state, in the area 51b at the upper right of the screen, from "200 G" indicating the number of advantageous residual G,
The display is changed to "800 G" as a result of the added 600 games being informed. Furthermore, in the region 51c adjacent to the left of the region 51b, an English “LAST” character image is displayed as a character indicating that the number in the region 51b is an advantageous remaining G number. Thereby, the player reads the information shown in the area 51b and the information shown in the area 51c together,
It can be read as “LAST 800G”, and it can be recognized that the remaining advantageous section is the remaining 800 games.

As shown in FIG. 18F, after that, an image indicating the ending state is displayed in the area 51j at the center of the screen. For example, in the ending state at AT1, FIG.
As shown to (a), the character image which was selected by the player and used for the effect in AT1 is displayed, and also the image which a confetti dances is displayed. Thus, A
In the ending state at T1, the character used in the effect at AT1 is taken over as it is, and the effect by the same character is performed.

Then, in the area 51b and the area 51c, "LAST 800G" indicating the number G of advantageous residual is displayed as in FIG. 18 (e). The advantage remaining G numbers shown in the area 51 b and the area 51 c are decremented by 1 each time the game of AT 1 in the ending state is digested,
When it eventually becomes 0, the advantageous section ends.

As shown in FIG. 18 (g), when a predetermined time period has elapsed from the state shown in FIG. 18 (f), a congratulatory letter is displayed in the area 51c to congratulate the user in the ending state. For example, in the ending state at AT1, the English cong
"atulations" is displayed in the area 51c. Then, when the predetermined period elapses again from the state shown in FIG. 18 (g), the state returns to the state shown in FIG. 18 (f). In the ending state, the state shown in FIG. 18 (f) and the state shown in FIG. 18 (g) are alternately switched at predetermined intervals. In the ending state in AT1, such a screen state is continued, and no special effect is provided even when a bonus is won or a rare character such as cherry is won. When navigation is performed, navigation information is notified.

In this way, when controlled to the ending state in which it is determined that the advantageous section will continue in AT1, “Cong” is set as finalized information that can specify that the advantageous section has been controlled.
”ratulations” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and “LAST” is displayed as remaining number information that can identify the advantageous remaining G number until the advantageous section G number reaches 1500.
"And" 800G "are displayed.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 18 (f) and 18 (g), “LAST” and “C
The indication "ongratulations" alternates at predetermined time intervals. On the other hand, in the area 51b, the number G of advantage remaining continues to be displayed.

[Display of G number added at AT2]
An example of the display of the number G of additional Gs on the AT 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19A is a view for explaining an example of the display of the number of added G in the case where the ending is not determined by the addition at AT 2.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 19 (A), the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 at AT2 has an AT
Similar to the screen of the liquid crystal display 51 in 1, the area 51a located at the upper left of the screen, the area 51b located at the upper right of the screen, the area 51c located at the upper center of the screen, the area 51d located at the center of the screen, and the screen And a region 51e located at the bottom. In the area 51a, the total number of medals paid out during the ART is shown, in the area 51b, the number of digest games in the advantageous section (advantageous section G number) is shown as the set number, and in the area 51c, the area 51 A character image of "TOTAL" in English is shown as a character indicating that the number in 51b is the total number of digested games in the advantageous section, various effect images such as a character are shown in the area 51d, and an area 51e is shown. Is
Navigation information is shown.

In this example, it is assumed that an AT of 400 games corresponding to 8 sets has already been controlled, and it is assumed that there are 4 sets of undivided advantage remaining G numbers. That is, it is assumed that the sum of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G is 600. In this example, since it is assumed that neither the bonus nor the inside is controlled, the area 51
The advantageous section G number (400 G) corresponding to the set number (8 sets) shown in b matches the value (400) of the ending state counter.

In this state, a case where the number of additional Gs is notified when the third stop operation is performed will be described.
As shown in (b) of FIG. 19 (A), when the number of sets to be added is one set, the sum of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G is 600 at present, so the remaining advantage G is
Even if 50 games corresponding to one set are added to the number, the sum does not reach 1000 and does not satisfy the condition to be controlled to the ending state. In this case, in the area 51f in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, a rectangular icon with a letter indicating “+ 1set” as the set number added in a manner that allows the player to recognize the added G number is displayed. Is done.

As shown in (c) of FIG. 19A, even when the number of sets to be added is two, the sum of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantages G is 600 at present, so the remaining advantage is Even if 100 games corresponding to 2 sets are added to the G number, the sum does not reach 1000, and the condition to be controlled to the ending state is not satisfied. Also in this case, in the area 51f in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display 51, a rectangular icon with a letter indicating the set number “+ 2set” as it is added in such a manner that the player can recognize the added G number. Is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 19A, when the ending is not determined by the addition,
In such a manner that the player can recognize the additional G number, an icon with a letter indicating the number of sets to be added is displayed.

FIG. 19B is a diagram for describing an example of the display of the number of added G in the case where the ending is determined by the addition at AT 2.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 19B, in this example, 70 corresponding to 14 sets have already been
It is assumed that it is controlled by the AT of 0 game, and it is assumed that there are 4 sets of undivided advantage remaining G numbers. That is, the sum of the ending state counter and the number of remaining advantage G is 900.
Assuming that Further, in this example, since it is assumed that neither the bonus nor the inside is controlled, the advantageous section G number (700G) corresponding to the number of sets (14 sets) indicated in the area 51b, and the ending state counter The value of (700) matches.

In this state, a case where the number of additional Gs is notified when the third stop operation is performed will be described.
As shown in (b) of FIG. 17B, when the number of sets to be added is two or more,
Since the total value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number is 900 at the present time, 100 or more games corresponding to two or more sets are added to the advantageous remaining G number, so that the total value becomes 100
It reaches 0 and satisfies the condition to be controlled to the ending state. In this case, in the area 51f at the center of the screen in the liquid crystal display 51, the player can not recognize the number of the top G in the “+ ???
A rectangular icon with a letter indicating “set” is displayed.

Here, if the ending is confirmed by the addition, as shown in FIG. 19 (A), a character is added that indicates the number of sets to be added in a manner that allows the player to recognize the additional G number. When the icon is displayed, a player whose sum of the value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number greatly exceeds 1000 due to the addition recognizes that the additional G number that cannot be digested has occurred, and is dissatisfied. There is a fear. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19B, when the ending is determined by adding,
An icon with a letter that obscures the number of sets to be added is displayed in such a manner that the player can not recognize the number of additional Gs. Specifically, such as “+ ??? set”, the addition is reported so as to recall a 3-digit number that does not fall into any of the 1 to 10 sets that can be added and the number of digits cannot be recognized. The

[Directing when ending is confirmed at AT2]
An example of the effect at the time of ending determination in AT 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining an example of an effect in the case where the ending is confirmed by adding in AT2.

As shown in FIG. 20A, in the screen 51 of the liquid crystal display 51, "900" is shown as the total number of medals paid out during ART in the area 51a at the upper left of the screen, and the area 51b at the upper right of the screen Shows “14set” as the set number corresponding to the advantageous section G number, and the area 51c at the upper center of the screen indicates that “14set” in the area 51b is the total number of digested games in the advantageous section. A character image of "TOTAL" in English is shown as a character, an image of a battle effect between a teammate character and an enemy character is shown in an area 51d at the center of the screen, and navigation information is shown in an area 51e at the bottom of the screen. . Further, in this example, it is assumed that the AT of 700 games corresponding to 14 sets has already been controlled, and it is assumed that the number of unsaved advantage remaining G's is 4 sets. That is, it is assumed that the total value of the ending state counter counted up to now and the advantageous remaining G number is 900.

As shown in FIG. 20B, when the number of AT games of 100 games or more corresponding to 2 sets or more is added, the total value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number reaches 1000. In this case, when the third stop operation is performed, as described in (b) of FIG. 19 (B), in the area 51f at the center of the screen in the liquid crystal display 51, the player adds G
An icon with a letter indicating "+ ??? set" is displayed in a manner in which the number can not be recognized.

As shown in FIG. 20 (c), an icon with a letter “PUSH” prompting the operation of the effect switch 56 is then displayed in the area 51 g in the center of the screen.

As shown in FIG. 20D, when the effect switch 56 is operated, an icon with a letter “+ 16set” is displayed in the area 51h in the center of the screen. That is, the total value (16 sets) of the four sets already granted, the number of sets (2 sets or more) which the player has added on their own, and the number of sets (10 sets) added as a benefit when reaching the ending. The number of sets that can be digested before the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games is notified. For example, when the number of games added by the player by himself is five sets, the combined value of 4 sets already granted and 10 sets added as a benefit is 19 sets, but the ending state counter Since the total value with the advantageous residual G number is 900 (14 sets), the advantageous section G number is 1,500 games (30 games out of 19 sets of the additional total value.
Only 16 sets that can be digested before reaching the set) are reported. As described above, the larger the number of sets the player has added by himself, the more the number of undigestible sets exist. However, as shown in FIG. 19B, the number of sets the player adds by himself "+ ??? set
As shown by the character indicating “,” it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing how many undigestible sets are. Further, even if there is an additional G number that has already been given but has not yet been notified, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing how much it is. When the effect switch 56 is operated, freeze may be performed to delay the start operation for starting the next game or activation of the BET operation, or the entire screen becomes dark for a predetermined period. A so-called blackout effect may be performed.

As shown in FIG. 20 (e), after that, a character indicating “Ending Entry !!” is displayed in the area 51i in the center of the screen to notify that the ending state is entered. When controlled to the ending state, the area 51b in the upper right of the screen is a value obtained by converting 16 sets corresponding to the advantageous remaining G number from “14set” indicating the number of sets corresponding to the advantageous interval G number to “number of games”. The display changes to "800G". Furthermore, in the region 51c adjacent to the left of the region 51b, a Japanese “remaining” character image is displayed as a character indicating that the number in the region 51b is an advantageous remaining G number. Thus, the player can read “800G remaining” by reading the information shown in the area 51b and the information shown in the area 51c together, and confirm that the advantageous section is the remaining 800 games. It can be recognized.

As shown in FIG. 20F, an image indicating that the camera is in the ending state is then displayed in an area 51j at the center of the screen. For example, in the ending state at AT1, FIG.
As shown to (a), the image of the friendly character and enemy character which were used by the battle production is displayed, and also the image which a confetti dances is displayed. In this way, in the ending state in AT2, the character that appeared in the battle effect used in the effect in AT2 is taken over as it is, and the effect by the same character is performed.

Then, in the area 51b and the area 51c, "remaining 800 G" indicating the number G of advantageous remaining is displayed as in FIG. 20 (e). The advantageous remaining G number shown in the area 51b and the area 51c is decremented by 1 every time the game of AT2 in the ending state is digested, and when it eventually becomes 0, the advantageous period ends.

As shown in FIG. 20 (g), when a predetermined period elapses from the state shown in FIG. 20 (f), a congratulatory character congratulating that it is controlled to the ending state is displayed in the area 51c. For example, in the ending state at AT2, Japanese congratulations are displayed in the area 51c as a congratulatory letter. Then, when the predetermined period elapses again from the state shown in FIG. 20 (g), the state returns to the state shown in FIG. 20 (f). In the ending state, FIG.
In the state shown in and the state shown in FIG. 20 (g), they are alternately switched every predetermined period. In the ending state at AT2, such a screen state is continued, and even if a bonus is won or a rare role such as cherry is won, no special effect is performed. When navigation is performed, navigation information is notified.

Thus, when the AT2 is controlled to the ending state where continuation of the advantageous section is determined, a congratulatory letter “Congratulations” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as definite information that can specify that the ending state is controlled. At the same time, the "remaining" and "800 G" are displayed as the remaining number information that can specify the number G of advantageous gains until the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1500.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 20F and 20G, the display of “remaining” and “congratulations” in the region 51c are alternately switched every predetermined period. On the other hand, in the area 51b,
The advantageous remaining G number continues to be displayed.

Further, in the case of AT2 shown in FIG. 20, characters indicating the number of blessings and remaining G are displayed in Japanese, while in the case of AT1 shown in FIG.
Numbers are displayed in English.

[Timing chart when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games]
The timings of various processes when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22.

(Non-bonus, non-inside, and when the number of advantageous sections reaches 1500 games in the ending state)
FIG. 21 (a) shows that the number of advantageous sections G is 1 in a non-bonus, non-internal, and ending state.
It is a figure which shows the timing chart at the time of reaching 500 games. As shown in FIG. 21A, in this timing chart, in order from the top, a line indicating the type of gaming section under control, a line indicating the presence / absence of lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19, and a line indicating the state of effect , A line indicating the presence or absence of bonus winning, a line indicating the presence or absence of notification of bonus hit and bonus winning, a line indicating the presence or absence of the inside and the bonus, and a line indicating the presence or absence of freeze. These lines shown in the timing chart are shown in FIG.
The same applies to b) and FIGS. 22 (c) and 22 (d).

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

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

Thereafter, when the total value of the value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number reaches 1000 at timing t6 in the non-ending state, the main state is controlled to the ending state. In the ending state, as shown in FIGS. 18 (f), (g) and FIGS. 20 (f), (g), a blessing character congratulating that the ending state is controlled and an advantageous remaining G number are obtained. It continues to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

When the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 games at timing t7 of the ending state, the advantageous section is shifted to the normal section. Accordingly, the background rendering for the advantageous section is switched to the background rendering for the normal section, and the display of the blessing letter and the number G of remaining advantage ends. The advantageous remaining G number may be displayed as “0”, for example, but in this embodiment, no characters or numbers are displayed in the region 51b. Further, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off.

Also, in this example, the number G of advantageous sections G reaches 1,500 games in non-bonus, non-inner, and ending states. In this case, the freeze is executed at the timing t7 when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games, and a result screen indicating the game result notification in the advantageous section is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Here, FIG. 23A is a diagram for explaining a result screen when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games in a non-bonus, non-inside, and ending state. In this example, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out in the advantageous section. Figure 23 (a)
As shown in the figure, on the result screen, there are an area 51n indicating the result character, an area 51p indicating the final number of medals paid out during the advantageous section, and an area 51q indicating the number of digested games within the advantageous section. , Included as a template. In the result screen when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games during non-bonus, images are displayed in all of the area 51 n, the area 51 p, and the area 51 q. For example, a character image “RESULT” is displayed in the region 51n, a character image “1700” is displayed in the region 51p, and a character image “1500 games” is displayed in the region 51q.

In this way, the number of advantageous sections G is 150 in the non-bonus, non-internal, and ending states.
When 0 game is reached, the result screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at that timing.

(When in the bonus and in the ending state the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1500 games)
FIG. 21 (b) is a diagram showing a timing chart when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 in the bonus state and in the ending state.

Before the timing t11, it is controlled to the advantageous section. During the advantageous section, background rendering for the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light.
When the total value of the value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number reaches 1000 at timing t11 in the non-ending state, the main state is controlled to the ending state. In the ending state, the congratulatory character and the advantageous remaining G number are continuously displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In this example, a bonus is won at timing t12 in the ending state.
However, since it is already controlled to the ending state, the notification of the bonus winning and the bonus winning is not performed, and the screen of the ending state shown in FIG. 18 (f), (g) or FIG. 20 (f), (g) Is maintained.

In the game where the bonus is won, when the bonus winning is missed, the gaming state is controlled to be internal from the timing t13 when the next game is to be performed. If a bonus symbol combination can be derived in the interior, a bonus winning will occur. In this example, since the bonus is won at timing t14, the gaming state is thereafter controlled to bonus until timing t16. Note that in the ending state, no bonus wins or bonus winning notifications are made, and there is a possibility that the player cannot recognize that the bonus has been won. For this reason, for example, the internal state in the ending state is maintained for a predetermined period (for example, 10
When the game has elapsed, you may be notified of the bonus winning, or you may be notified of the type of winning bonus and its symbol combination.

Here, when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games at timing t15 during the bonus,
Shift from advantageous section to normal section. However, since the ending state has already been controlled, the background effect for the normal section is not switched, and FIGS. 18 (f), (g), FIG. 20 (f),
The screen in the ending state shown in (g) is maintained. However, the display of the congratulatory letter and the number of remaining advantage G ends and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off.

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

Here, FIG. 23 (b) shows that in the bonus state and in the ending state, the number of advantageous sections G is 1,500.
It is a figure for demonstrating the result screen at the time of reaching a game. In this example, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out in the advantageous section and 174 medals are paid out at timings t15 to t16 in the bonus after the advantageous section ends. Furthermore, at timing timing t15 to t16, it is assumed that a bonus is performed over 20 games. As shown in FIG. 23 (b), in the result screen, "RESULT" is displayed in the area 51n.
"Is displayed, and" 1874 "character images are displayed in the area 51p. On the other hand, the area 51 q used in FIG. 23A is not used, and no character image is displayed in the area.

As described above, when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus and in the ending state, the result screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the timing when the bonus ends.
Further, unlike the example of FIG. 23A, in the result screen in this case, a character image indicating the number of digested games (1500 games) in the advantageous section is not displayed, and either the advantageous section or the bonus is displayed. A character image indicating the number of combined games (1520 games) controlled by is also not displayed.

(When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games inside and in the ending state)
FIG. 22C is a diagram showing a timing chart in the case where the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1,500 games in the inside and in the ending state.

Before the timing t21, it is controlled to an advantageous section. During the advantageous section, background rendering for the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light.
When the sum of the value of the ending state counter and the advantageous remaining G number reaches 1000 at timing t21 in the non-ending state, the main state is controlled to the ending state. In the ending state, the congratulatory letter and the number G of remaining advantage continue to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

In this example, a bonus is won at timing t22 in the ending state.
However, since it is already controlled to the ending state, the notification of the bonus winning and the bonus winning is not performed, and the screen of the ending state shown in FIG. 18 (f), (g) or FIG. 20 (f), (g) Is maintained.

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

Here, when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1,500 games at timing t24 in the inside, the transition from the advantageous sections to the normal sections is made. However, since the ending state has already been controlled, the background effect for the normal section is not switched, and FIGS. 18 (f) and (g) and FIGS. 20 (f) and (g)
The screen in the ending state indicated by) is maintained. However, the display of the congratulatory letter and the number of remaining advantage G ends and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. Note that the number of advantageous sections G is 15 inside.
After reaching 00 game, even if the game is in the ending state, the bonus winning may be notified, or the type of the winning bonus and its symbol combination may be notified.

Moreover, in this example, the number G of advantageous sections has reached 1,500 games in the inside and in the ending state. In this case, the freeze is not executed at the timing t24 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, and the result screen is not displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. After waiting for timing t26 when the bonus ends, the freeze is executed and the result screen is displayed. In this case, the result screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 is the same as that shown in FIG. 23 (b), and a character image of "RESULT" is displayed in the area 51n. A character image indicating the total value of the number of medals paid out and the number of medals paid out from the end of the advantageous section to the end of the bonus is displayed. On the other hand, region 51q used in FIG. 23A is not used.
No character image is displayed in the area.

As described above, when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1500 games in the internal state and in the ending state, the result screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 at the timing when the bonus ends. In addition, the result screen in this case is different from the example of FIG.
The character image indicating 1500 games) is not displayed, and further, the character image indicating the total number of games controlled in either the advantageous section or the bonus is not displayed.

(When the number of G sections has reached 1500 games in the internal and non-ending state)
FIG. 22 (d) is a diagram showing a timing chart when the number G of the advantageous section G reaches 1,500 in the internal state and in the non-ending state.

Before the timing t31, it is controlled to an advantageous section. During the advantageous section, background rendering for the advantageous section is performed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to light.
When the bonus is won at the timing t31 in the non-ending state, the bonus winning and the bonus winning are notified from the timing t32 to the timing t33.

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

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

However, in this embodiment, the ending state counter is not added inside. Further, the advantageous section G number is also added inside. For this reason, if the gaming state is controlled inside during the non-ending state and the inside state is deliberately extended, the advantageous section G during the inside despite the non-ending state. The number will reach 1500 games. Also in the example shown in FIG. 22 (d), the number G of advantageous sections G has reached 1,500 games at timing t34 in which the inside is in the non-ending state.

When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 in the inside and non-ending state, the advantageous section is changed to the normal section, and the background effect for the advantageous section is switched to the background effect for the normal section. Further, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. Furthermore, when the number G of advantageous sections in the internal state and in the non-ending state reaches 1,500 games, freeze is executed at timing t 34 when the number G of advantageous sections reaches 1500 games, and the result screen is the liquid crystal display 51
Is displayed. The result screen in this case is the same as the example shown in FIG. 22A, and a character image of "RESULT" is displayed in the area 51n, and a character indicating the number of medals paid out in the advantageous section in the area 51p.
