Abstract

To provide a slot machine that suppresses an increase in data capacity as much as possible regarding notification of an operation mode.SOLUTION: A navigation background of a killing navigation in a precursory state in which a Bar targeting performance cannot be executed and a Bar matching replay and Bar ready-to-win replay are won during a CZ or an AT is selected from two types (blue background, green background) at the maximum. On the other hand, a navigation background when the Bar matching replay and the Bar ready-to-win replay are won during a specialized zone where the Bar targeting performance can be executed is selected from four types (blue background, green background, red background, gold background). Therefore, an increase in data capacity can be suppressed as much as possible regarding notification of an operation mode compared with the case where the number of types of the navigation mode is made uniform regardless of an advantageous section under control.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11

Description

The present invention comprises a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable,
The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine capable of deriving a display result by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit after the variable display unit is variably displayed, and generating a winning according to the display result.

A slot machine, which is a type of gaming machine, generally includes a variable display unit having a reel having a plurality of types of symbols as identification information drawn on its outer periphery, and a start switch with a specified number of bets set. When the reel starts to rotate, and the stop switch is operated to stop the rotation of the reel, a predetermined symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter a symbol combination is selected on the winning line). A winning combination is generated by deriving a combination of display results or a combination).

There are types of roles such as a small role, a special role, and a replay role. Here, when the display result corresponding to the small combination is derived on the winning line, the number of medals determined for each type of small combination is paid out. If the display result corresponding to the special role is derived on the winning line,
The game state can be shifted to a special game state advantageous to the player, such as a regular bonus or a big bonus. When the display result corresponding to the re-gamer is derived on the winning line, the next game can be played without consuming new medals for setting the bet amount.

As such a slot machine, there has been provided a plurality of types of notification modes such as changing the color of characters and the shape of decoration as a notification mode when notifying the operation mode of a stop switch (for example, Patent Document 1). . In this slot machine, the winning combination and state transition are suggested by the above-described notification mode.

JP 2017-176328 A

Like the slot machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, by providing a plurality of types of notification modes when reporting the operation mode of the stop switch, the game can be interesting,
There is a possibility that the processing related to the notification of the operation mode becomes complicated and the data capacity increases.

The present invention has been devised in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a slot machine that suppresses an increase in data capacity as much as possible with respect to notification of an operation mode.

(1) Provided with a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each capable of being identified,
In the slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) in which a winning result can be generated according to the display result after the variable display portion is variably displayed, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display portion.
Derivation operation means operated to derive the display result (for example, the stop switch 8
L, 8C, 8R)
A pre-determining means (for example, a process of executing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41) for determining a display result that permits derivation;
Derivation control means (for example, processing for executing reel control by the main control unit 41) for performing control for deriving the display result;
Specific information that can specify the operation mode (for example, pressing order) of the derivation operation means (for example,
Navigating information) (for example, processing for executing a navigation effect using the liquid crystal display 51 by the sub-control unit 91).
In the derivation control means, the determination result of the prior determination means is a specific determination result (for example, BAR
In the case of a uniform lip winning or a BAR template winning, when the derivation operation means is operated in a first operation mode (for example, other than the right first stop), a first display result (for example, Lip 1
) And the derivation operation means is in the second operation mode (for example, right first stop).
When the operation is performed, the second display result (for example, symbol combination of BAR matching lip or BAR template) is derived (for example, see FIG. 10),
The notification means includes
When the special condition is not satisfied (for example, when not in the special zone or when the BAR aiming effect is not executed), when the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific determination result, the first operation mode First notification for notifying the specific information that can identify the user (for example, navigation effect (killing navigation) to notify other than the right first stop),
When the special condition is satisfied (for example, when in a special zone, when a BAR aiming effect is executed), when the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific determination result, the first 2nd alerting | reporting (for example, the navigation effect which alert | reports a right 1st stop) which alert | reports the said specific information which can specify 2 operation modes,
Types of notification mode (for example, navigation background mode) of the specific information that can be selected by the notification unit in the first notification (for example, a warning state, killing navigation in CZ or AT)
For example, rather than two types (blue background, green background)), the type of notification mode of the specific information that can be selected by the notification means in the second notification (for example, navigation effect in the specialized zone) (for example, BAR alignment) 4 types (blue background, green background, red background, gold background) and BA at the time of winning the lip
There are more three types (blue background, green background, red background) at the time of winning the R template (see, for example, FIGS. 11C and 11D).

(2) In the slot machine of (1) above,
The notification means selects the notification mode of the specific information according to whether or not it is advantageous for the player when the special condition is satisfied (for example, in the specialization zone) (for example, As shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), the navigation background mode is selected depending on whether there is an extra winning).

(3) In the slot machine of (1) or (2) above,
The derivation control means is configured such that the derivation operation means is operated in a predetermined operation mode (for example, correct answer procedure) when the determination result of the prior determination means is a predetermined determination result (for example, push order bell winning). When a predetermined display result (for example, main character symbol combination) is derived and the derivation operation means is operated in an operation mode (for example, incorrect answer procedure) different from the predetermined operation mode, a non-predetermined display result (for example, a secondary role) Deriving a certain AT role and special symbol combination)
When the predetermined display result is derived, the gaming value given to the player is greater than when the non-predetermined display result is derived (for example, when the main role wins, the secondary role wins or special The number of payouts is larger than when the figure was derived)
When the first display result is derived and when the second display result is derived, the gaming value given to the player does not change (for example, when a BAR uniform lip or a BAR temple is won) (When Lip 1 wins, both will be replays)
The notification means notifies the specific information that can specify the predetermined operation mode when the determination result of the prior determination means is the predetermined determination result in an advantageous state (for example, the main control unit 41 or the sub-control). Bell navigation is executed by the unit 91),
In the advantageous state, the ratio at which the suggestion effect other than the notification of the specific information by the notification unit (for example, the effect of suggesting the extra winning by the navigation background) is executed is that the determination result of the prior determination unit is the predetermined determination result It is higher when the determination result of the pre-determining means is the specific determination result than when it is (for example, the effect of suggesting the winning combination with the navigation background is BAR)
This is executed when the match lip or BAR template is won, but is not executed when the push order bell is won).

(4) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (3) above,
As the specific determination results, there are a first specific determination result (for example, a BAR matching lip winning) and a second specific determination result (for example, a BAR tempered winning),
The derivation control means includes
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result (for example, BAR matching lip winning), when the derivation operation means is operated in the second operation mode, the second
Deriving the first specific display result (for example, the symbol combination of BAR matching lip) as the display result,
When the determination result of the prior determination means is the second specific determination result (for example, BAR temple winning), the second display result is the second display result when the derivation operation means is operated in the second operation mode. Derive specific display results (for example, BAR template combination)
Regardless of whether the determination result of the prior determination means is the first specific determination result or the second specific determination result, the derivation operation means is the first operation mode (for example, other than the right first stop).
When the operation is performed, the common first display result (for example, the symbol combination of Lip 1) is derived (for example, see FIG. 10).

(5) In the slot machine of (4) above,
When the special condition is satisfied (for example, in the special zone), the determination result of the predetermining means is the first specific determination result (for example, BAR matching lip winning). 2 In the notification, the type of notification mode of the specific information that can be selected by the notification unit (for example, four types (blue background, green background, red background, gold background)) is determined by the prior determination unit. Types of notification modes of the specific information (for example, three types (blue background, green background, red) that can be selected by the notification means in the second notification when the second determination result is determined (for example, BAR template winning) (For example, FIG. 11 (c), (
d)).

(6) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (5) above,
The notification means is configured to output the first notification when the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific determination result (for example, BAR matching lip winning or BAR tempo winning) in a normal state (for example, a precursor state or CZ). (E.g. Killing Navi)
The special condition is satisfied (for example, specialization) rather than the type (for example, one type (blue background)) of the notification mode of the specific information that can be selected by the notification unit in the first notification in the normal state. The type of notification mode of the specific information that can be selected by the notification means in the second notification (for example, a navigation effect that notifies the first stop at the right) during the zone) (for example, 4 at the time of BAR matching rep winning There are more types (blue background, green background, red background, gold background) and three types (blue background, green background, red background) at the time of winning the BAR template (see Fig. 11 (c), (d), for example) ).

(7) In the slot machine of any of (1) to (6) above,
The notification means includes a normal state (for example, a precursor state or CZ) and an advantageous state (for example,
In any of (AT), the determination result of the prior determination means is the specific determination result (for example,
The first notification (for example, killing navigation) can be executed when the BAR matching lip winning or the BAR tempering winning)
The type of the specific information that can be selected by the notification unit in the first notification in the normal state (for example, one type (blue background)) by the notification unit in the first notification in the advantageous state. There are more types of notification modes (for example, two types (blue background, green background)) of the specific information that can be selected (see, for example, FIGS. 11C and 11D).

A mode for carrying out a slot machine according to the present invention will be described below based on examples.

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

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

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

As shown in FIG. 1A, the front door 1b has a medal insertion unit 4 into which a game medium (medal) is inserted and a game value within a range of stored game value (credit) according to the game state. A MAXBET switch 6 that is operated when setting a predetermined number of bets, a start switch 7 that is operated when starting a game, and a stop switch 8L that is operated when stopping the rotation of each reel. , 8C, 8R, a production switch 56 used for production, and the like.

The front door 1b is provided with a game display unit 13 for notifying information related to the game. The game auxiliary display 1 displays on the game display unit 13 the number of medals to be paid out, an error code at the time of an error, or operation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R.
2 and an advantageous section lamp 19 for notifying that an advantageous section is described later by turning on the lamp. The operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R include the order of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (operation procedure, pressing order) and the timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (operation timing). included. In the present embodiment, as the information (navigation information described later) corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the numbers and alphabets corresponding to the pressing order are displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 by 7 segments. The advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on when it is in the advantageous section, and is turned off when it is not in the advantageous section.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player sets a specified number of bets by inserting medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid and the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. If medals are inserted with the bet number set, the amount is added as credit.

If the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2
When the R rotates, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner, and when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reels stops, and three symbols are derived as display results in the upper, middle, and lower stages of the fluoroscopic window 3. Is displayed. If a winning combination occurs on the winning line LN when a winning combination is stopped, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player in accordance with the winning combination and added to the credit, or the credit is the upper limit. In the case of reaching medals, medals are paid out from the medal payout exit 9.

In the narrow sense, “game” in the slot machine 1 refers to the period from when the start switch 7 is operated to when all reels are stopped. In addition, since all of the reels are stopped and medals are paid out and the game state is shifted, these incidental processes are also included in the “game” in a broad sense.

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

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

In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the medal payout rate (the ratio between the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets and the total number of medals paid out by winning) changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate changes by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery or the like. The set value consists of 6 levels 1 to 6, for example, 6 is the highest payout rate, 5
As the value decreases in the order of 4, 3, 2, 1, the payout rate decreases. That is, in terms of the payout rate, when the set value is set to 6, the player has the highest advantage, and 5, 4
As the value decreases in the order of 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

[Winner]
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 names of the winning combination or special figure are shown in the name column of FIGS. 3 to 6, and the symbol combination of the winning combination or special figure is shown in the symbol combination column. In the remarks column, operations performed at the time of winning a prize (medal payout, replay grant, transition of game state, etc.) are shown.

The winning combination includes a special combination, a small combination, and a replay combination. A special role is a role with a transition to bonus. A small role is a role that accompanies a medal. A re-playing role (replay) is a role that accompanies the re-playing. 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, AT01 to AT16, Bell 1
, 2 and 1-sheet combination 1-8. Bell 1 and 2 are generically called Bell, AT01-A
T16 is collectively referred to as the AT role, and the 1-sheet roles 1 to 8 are collectively referred to as the 1-sheet role. Among the winning combinations, bonus 1 and bonus 2 are included. Special figures include special figures 1 and 2. The special figure is a losing eye that can be derived when a main character and a sub-role are missed in a game won in the push order bell described later.

When a bonus is won, the bonus is controlled until the end condition is satisfied. The termination conditions include a predetermined number of medals being paid out during the bonus, a predetermined number of games being consumed during the bonus, and a predetermined number of winnings during the bonus. In the present embodiment, the bonus 1 end condition is satisfied when more than 324 medals are paid out during bonus 1. Further, when more than 27 medals are paid out during bonus 2, the termination condition for bonus 2 is satisfied.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, lip 1 to 21 are included in the replaying combination among the winning combinations. As shown in FIG. 6, the lips 9 to 16 are symbol combinations in which 7 is displayed over two upper and lower stages in any reel, and is also referred to as 7 lips. The lip 15 is a symbol combination in which three BAR symbols are displayed on the winning line LN, and is also referred to as a BAR aligned lip. Further, the lip 16 is a symbol combination in which two BAR symbols are displayed on the winning line LN, and is also referred to as a BAR template. In addition, the re-game player is collectively referred to as “replay”.

[Game state]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state. The gaming state includes a state in which the winning probability of replay in the internal lottery is determined, and such a state is also referred to as an RT state. The gaming state includes an inside that can be transferred when a bonus is won and a bonus that can be transferred when a bonus is won. In the present embodiment, RT0 to R are set as the RT state.
T4 is provided.

RT0 and RT1 are the states with the lowest replay winning probability among all the gaming states. RT3 and RT4 have the highest replay winning probability among all the gaming states. RT2 has a higher replay win probability than RT0 and RT1, but RT3 and RT4
The replay winning probability is lower than that. In addition, the special lip becomes a lottery target combination only at RT0. For this reason, it can be said that a special lip is won with high probability at RT0 compared to other RTs. The probability that the special lip is won at RT0 is, for example, 1/5. If you win a special lip in CZ, you will be granted AT rights.

RT0 is controlled after the bonus (bonus 1 or bonus 2) ends. R
When the special figure is displayed at T0, the gaming state shifts to RT1. RT2 in RT1
When the transition lip (lip 3) is displayed, the gaming state transitions to RT2. RT at RT2
When the 3 transition lip (Lip 5) is displayed, the gaming state transitions to RT3. On the other hand, when a special figure or RT1 transition lip (lip 4) is displayed in RT2, the gaming state transitions to RT1. When the RT4 transition lip (lip 8) is displayed in RT3, the gaming state transitions 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. Transition 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. If the derivation of the symbol combination is permitted by the internal lottery, the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination is won.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, bonus 1 and bonus 2 are included in the special lottery object.
Is included. For the role of lottery, the common bell, left correct bell 1-4, middle correct bell 1-4,
And right correct bells 1 to 4 are included. These small roles are subject to internal lottery in any RT state and can be won.

For the re-playing role, there are advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle cherries, advantageous lip, strong cherries, weak cherries, special lip, 7 lip 1-5, BAR uniform lip, BAR tempile, normal lip 1 3, preparation lip 1-6, inrush lip 1-5, RT1 falling lip 1-3, ascending lip 1-3, and RT3 falling lip 1-3. 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. For example, a special lip is a lottery only at RT0 and can be won, but other RTs
In the state, it is not a lottery target.

Note that 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 push order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. Also, preparation lip 1-6, rushing lip 1-5, RT1 falling lip 1-3, rising lip 1-3, R
The T3 falling lip 1 to 3, 7 lip 1 to 5, the BAR aligned lip, and the BAR temporary lip are also referred to as push order lip because the winning combinations differ according to the push order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. Furthermore, these push order bells and push order lips are collectively referred to as push order combinations. Further, as will be described later, the advantageous strong cherry, the advantageous weak cherry, and the middle cherry are won in the advantageous section or in the bonus at the time of winning, and are collectively referred to as an advantageous cherry role. On the other hand, strong cherries and weak cherries
Since neither a favorable section nor a bonus is won, these are collectively referred to as non-advantageous cherry roles. Furthermore, the advantageous cherry role and the non-advantageous cherry role are collectively referred to simply as the cherry role.

Each lottery subject combination described above is assigned a combination 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. For example, in the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 acquires a random number from an integer within a predetermined range (0 to 65535). Each lottery combination is assigned in advance a number of determination values corresponding to the RT state from integers within a predetermined range (0 to 65535).

For example, Bonus 1 is 65435-65535 100 in any RT state.
Number of judgment values is assigned. In addition, bonus 1 has the same allocation of the number of determination values regardless of the set value (no setting difference). On the other hand, in the bonus 2, when the set value is the same, the number of determination values is the same in any RT state, but the number of determination values is allocated according to the set value. Are different (there is a setting difference). Specifically, when the setting value is 1, the allocation of the determination value number is the smallest,
As the set value increases, the allocation of the judgment value increases. When the setting value is 6, the allocation of the determination value number is the largest.

The main control unit 41 adds the number of determination values to the acquired random number in order from the lottery target part having the largest part number. When the addition result overflows (exceeds 65535), the main control part 41 The lottery target role that has been determined is determined to be the winning role.

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. Further, the BAR-equipped lip and the BAR temporary lip include a lip 1 as a common 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 push order shown in FIG. 10, the left first stop is a push order in which the left reel 2L is first stopped, and the middle first stop is a push order in which the middle reel 2C is first stopped. The first right stop is a pressing order in which the right reel 2R is stopped first.

As shown in FIG. 10, the respective pressing orders are the stop switches 8L,
Different combinations win 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. When the push order combination is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the correct answer procedure, the player who has a higher degree of advantage of the player than in the incorrect answer procedure, or the player A role suggesting that the degree of advantage is high is won. The correct answer procedure is not limited to the pressing order but may be an operation timing or a combination of the pressing order and the operation timing.

For example, when winning the right correct bells 1 to 4, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the first left stop, the nine-payout bell 1 wins, and when operated in other than the first left stop An AT combination with a single payout wins a prize or a special figure is displayed. The bell that wins according to the push order when the push order bell is won is referred to as the main role, and the AT role is also referred to as the sub role. In this way, when the push order bell is won, the leading role wins when the stop switch is operated in the correct answer procedure, or the secondary role wins when the stop switch is operated in the incorrect answer procedure, or the winning is missed, When the stop switch is operated according to the correct answer procedure, more medals are awarded to the player than when the stop switch is operated according to the incorrect answer procedure. On the other hand, when the push order lip is won, both when the stop switch is operated according to the correct answer procedure and when it is operated according to the incorrect answer procedure, the replay is won and a replay is given. In terms of payout, the advantage is the same for both. As shown in FIG. 10, the pressing order is determined in advance so that different winning combinations are awarded.

When the BAR aligned lip is won, the lip 15 (BAR aligned lip) wins when the stop switch is operated at the first right stop, while the lip 1 is operated when the stop switch is operated at other than the first right stop. Won the prize. If BAR TEMPE is won, Lip 16 (BAR TEMPLE) wins when the stop switch is operated at the first stop on the right, while Lip 1 wins when the stop switch is operated at other than the first stop on the right To do. Like this, B
When the AR matching lip or the BAR temple is won, the BAR symbols are arranged when the stop switch is operated at the first stop on the right, and the player is reminded of some event such as granting a privilege. On the other hand, when the BAR matching lip or BAR template is won, when the stop switch is operated other than the first stop on the right, the player simply recognizes that the lip 1 has won and the replay has been won.

[Navigation]
The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a function of notifying navigation information corresponding to an operation mode (for example, the above-described correct answer procedure) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R that is advantageous to 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.

As shown in the navigation notification column of FIG. 8, when navigation is performed by the main control unit 41, numbers and alphabets corresponding to the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are displayed as navigation assistance indicators as navigation information. 12 is displayed in 7 segments. Notification of navigation information performed by the navigation of the main control unit 41 is also referred to as navigation notification. Here, in the navigation notification column of FIG. 8, 1F is the first left stop, 2F is the first middle stop, 3F is the first right stop, 12 is the left middle right, 13 is the left and right middle, 21 is the middle left and right, 23 Indicates middle right / left, 31 indicates right / left middle, and 32 indicates right middle / left. The combination for which navigation notification is not performed is indicated as unlit in the navigation notification column.

When navigation is performed by the sub-control unit 91, the stop switch 8L is used as navigation information.
, 8C, 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 a navigation effect.

In the navigation effect, a plurality of types of navigation modes are provided. The navigation mode is a type of navigation information notification mode (such as how it looks). In the present embodiment, the color of the numeric image corresponding to the operation mode is selected from a plurality of types. Furthermore, a plurality of types of navigation backgrounds are provided in the navigation effect. The navigation background is a type of navigation information notification mode (such as how it looks). In the present embodiment, the background color of the entire screen when a numeric image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed is of multiple types. It is selected from the inside.

In a game in which the push order bell is won, a navigation effect called so-called small fish navigation is executed. In this navigation effect, for example, objects corresponding to the left, middle, and right (for example,
The image of the enemy character) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 together with a numerical image indicating the pressing order, and an effect is performed so that the player disappears one by one whenever the stop switch is operated by the player. Then, when the stop switch is operated in the order of pressing indicated by the navigation, an effect using a dedicated background image or background color so as to appeal that the main character has won a prize (hereinafter also referred to as a bell prize effect) Is executed. For example, in the bell winning effect, an image that appeals that the enemy character has been defeated is displayed, or the background color becomes yellow so as to evoke the bell winning. In this way, in the game where the pushing order bell is won, the bell winning effect using the dedicated background is executed so as to appeal that the leading role has won, so that the bell winning effect is not disturbed as described above. An effect that changes the navigation background is not executed. On the other hand, the above-described effect that changes the navigation mode is difficult to hinder the bell winning effect, and is therefore executed in the game in which the push order bell is won.

In the game in which the push order lip is won, the bell winning effect is not executed, so that the effect of changing the navigation background described above is executed. For example, in the present embodiment, an effect that changes the navigation background is executed in a game in which a BAR matching lip or a BAR temple is won. Note that the navigation for notifying the pressing order other than the first stop at the right when the BAR matching lip or the BAR template is won is also a navigation for preventing the BAR symbols from being arranged, and is also referred to as a killing navigation.

In this way, in the game in which the push order bell is won, while the effect of changing the navigation mode is executed, the effect of changing the navigation background is not executed, whereas the BAR uniform lip and the BAR tempo are won. In the game, an effect of changing the navigation background is executed.

As shown in the transmission navigation column of FIG. 8, the main control unit 41 transmits, to the sub-control unit 91, a command that can specify navigation information targeted for navigation notification according to the selected lottery object combination. For example, when the left correct answer bell is won, the main control unit 41 displays 1F on the game auxiliary display 12 as a navigation notification, and subclasses type 7 as a command that can specify 1F (that is, the first left stop). It transmits to the control part 91. When receiving the type 7 command, the sub-control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 to display a numerical image corresponding to the first left stop (for example, 123 image). As described above, in the navigation effect on the liquid crystal display 51, the navigation mode changes when the color of the number image changes, or the navigation background changes when the background color changes. However, in the navigation notification on the game auxiliary display 12, only the numbers and alphabets are displayed, and the color does not change.

Here, the main control unit 41 transmits a command of type 0 whose operation mode cannot be specified to the sub control unit 91 when navigation notification is not performed. Even if the sub-control unit 91 receives the type 0 command, the sub-control unit 91 cannot basically specify the operation mode, and thus basically does not execute the navigation effect. However, the sub-control unit 91 may execute a navigation effect even when a command of type 0 is received only when 7 lips are won. That is, when 7 lips are won, the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification, while the sub control unit 91 can execute a 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 is a section where the navigation information cannot 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, navigation is performed at least once, in which a winning (in the present embodiment, a bell that is the leading role) that provides the maximum payout number is generated. Specifically, a navigation for notifying the correct answer procedure is executed when the pushing order bell is won. 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 section transition in FIG.
Bonus 1, advantageous strong cherry, advantageous weak cherry, middle cherry, and advantageous lip are included. In the normal section, when these roles are won by internal lottery, the transition to the advantageous section is 10
Determine 0%. In addition, when these advantageous section transition roles are elected in the advantageous section (AT and specialized zone described later in the case of this embodiment), an AT that can extend the period controlled by the AT.
The addition of is confirmed. In addition, the advantageous section transition combination won in the advantageous section is also referred to as a winning combination.

In the present embodiment, the advantageous section includes a precursor state, CZ1, CZ2, AT, and a specialized zone. CZ1 and CZ2 are also collectively referred to simply as CZ. In this embodiment, when winning the transition to the advantageous section, by advantageous section allocation lottery,
As types of advantageous sections, only the precursor state, CZ1 transition after the precursor state, and C after the precursor state
It is determined as one of Z2 transitions.

Advantageous cherry roles such as advantageous strong cherries, advantageous weak cherries, and middle tiered cherries may be won simultaneously with bonus 1 while being won alone. For this reason, when an advantageous cherry combination is won and a cherry symbol is derived, the player can expect that bonus 1 is won. Furthermore, the advantageous cherry combination is also an advantageous section transition combination. In the present embodiment, when the advantageous cherry role is won, the advantageous section lamp 1 is used in the winning game.
When 9 lights up, the control of the advantageous section is suggested. On the other hand, non-advantageous cherry roles such as strong cherries and weak cherries are not won in either the advantageous area or the bonus, so the advantageous area lamp 19 is not lit in the game won for the non-advantageous cherry part, and control of the advantageous area is not suggested .

In the present embodiment, when an advantageous cherry combination or a non-advantageous cherry combination is won, a continuous effect is executed over a plurality of games (for example, 20 games). In the continuous effect, for example, an effect image in which a friend character and an enemy character develop a battle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the battle is settled in the final game of the continuous effect. In addition, when the winning cherry role is won, since it is controlled to the precursor state for the time being, the continuous effect is executed in the precursor state.

If you win a bonus with an advantageous section at the time of winning an advantageous cherry role, or if you have not won a bonus at the time of winning an advantageous cherry role but have decided to control to CZ after a precursor state, your ally character will be in a battle of continuous performance Wins WIN image is LCD 5
1 and the player is informed of the bonus winning or CZ being controlled. On the other hand, if the bonus is not won when the advantageous cherry role is won, and if it is not decided to control the CZ after the precursor state, the L that causes the ally character to lose in the continuous battle
By displaying the OSE image on the liquid crystal display 51, the player is informed that the bonus has not been won and the advantageous section has ended. In addition, even when the non-advantageous cherry role is won, since the bonus is not won and the advantageous section is not won, the LOSE image that the teammate character is defeated in the continuous effect battle is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Is displayed.

As described above, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment displays the cherry symbol when the advantageous cherry role or the non-advantaged cherry role is won, and controls the bonus and the CZ and AT by the continuous effect. It can be expected for control. When the advantageous cherry combination and the bonus are won simultaneously, the gaming state is subsequently controlled inside, and the control period in the inside matches the execution period of the continuous performance. As a modification, the internal control period may not match the execution period of the continuous effect, for example, the continuous effect may end before the internal control period ends.

In the precursor state, navigation information for winning the leading role at the time of winning the pushing order bell is performed at least once, which indicates that the advantageous section is being controlled. In the result of the continuous performance, when the advantageous section ends as it is and shifts to the normal section, the advantageous section lamp 1 thereafter
When 9 is turned off and 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.

In the case of being controlled to the advantageous section, the process shifts to the normal section based on the fact that a predetermined end condition is satisfied. The predetermined end condition includes a condition that is satisfied when a numerical value updated in the advantageous section reaches a specified 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 (hereinafter also referred to as a limiter), the main control unit 41 initializes all data related to the advantageous sections, and shifts to the normal section by ending the advantageous section 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.

When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, the game state may be controlled to the initial RT state after changing the settings while shifting from the advantageous section to the normal section. 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 section includes 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 that the remaining number of games (advantageous remaining G number) for controlling in advantageous sections such as the number of precursor games, the number of CZ games, the number of AT games, and the number of specialized zone games. When 0 is reached, the normal section is shifted to by ending the advantageous section being executed.

In the present embodiment, the inside of the advantageous section lamp 19 may be controlled during the lighting period. For example, when an advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on and controlled inside. Further, in the period when the advantageous section lamp 19 is already lit, when the winning combination is won, the inside of the advantageous section lamp 19 is controlled while being lit. Further, in a period in which the bonus is controlled by being elected alone, when the advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit while being controlled inside. In these cases, the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off inside. The reason for this is that the bonus is always won during the inside, so the lottery situation is different from that during the non-inside, and the advantageous section is linked to the winning combination in the same way between the different lottery situations. This is to avoid controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the lamp 19.

In consideration of the fact that the continuous production is executed inside, it can be said that the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous production may overlap in the present embodiment. For example, when an advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on and a continuous effect is executed. Further, in the period in which the advantageous section lamp 19 is already lit, if the winning combination of the advantageous cherry is won, the continuous effect is executed while the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit. Further, in the period in which a continuous effect is executed by winning a single bonus or winning a non-cherry role, when the advantageous cherry role is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit while the continuous effect is executed. Also in these cases, the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off during execution of the continuous performance.

That is, in the present embodiment, at least during the period in which the continuous effect is being executed, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit, and after the execution of the continuous effect has ended (if controlled by a bonus, After the control), the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. However, even during the period in which the continuous performance is being executed, the advantageous section lamp 19 is exceptionally turned off when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games.

In the advantageous section, a lottery related to the instruction function is performed. AT for the lottery related to the instruction function
And a lottery for determining whether or not to control to a specialized zone, and a lottery for extending the period of control to the AT. While controlled in the standby section, lottery related to the navigation and instruction functions is not performed.

However, even if it is controlled in the advantageous section, bonus 2 which is not the advantageous section transition combination
During the winning and the bonus 2 is controlled, the lottery related to the navigation and the instruction function is not performed. Also, even if bonus 2 is won during CZ, no AT right is granted. For this reason, even if the bonus 2 is ended, it is not controlled during the ART preparation, and is again controlled by the CZ.

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

The precursor state is a state in which the period during which navigation can be executed is not guaranteed as compared with the CZ, AT, and specialized zone, and is the state with the lowest degree of advantage in the advantageous section. The precursor state is a state that suggests whether the advantageous section continues as it is controlled by CZ or AT, or shifts to the normal section without being controlled by CZ or AT. For example, in the precursor state, after the effect image by the continuous effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 over a plurality of games, the advantageous section continues depending on the result of the battle in the final game of the continuous effect, or in the normal section It will be notified whether it will shift.

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

AT is a precursor state and a state of higher advantage than CZ. For example, in AT, a period during which navigation can be executed is guaranteed longer than a precursor state and CZ. Or
In AT, the number of times that navigation can be executed is guaranteed more than in the precursor state and CZ. In this way, the AT is guaranteed to have a longer navigation period than the precursor state and CZ, so that, for example, it is possible to increase the number of games for winning the leading role when pushing the bell, and it is advantageous over the precursor state and CZ. The degree becomes higher.

The specialized zone can be shifted only from the AT and can extend the period controlled by the AT. As shown in FIG. 7, the state controlled by AT in RT3 is also referred to as ART. A
In RT, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a special zone lottery for determining whether or not to shift to a special zone is executed by the main control unit 41 as a lottery related to the instruction function. In the present embodiment, 7 lips are frequently won during RT3 (for example, a winning probability of 1/2). When 7 lips are won during ART, a special zone lottery is executed, and the right to move to the special zone is granted with a predetermined probability (for example, 5%). When the special zone right is granted during ART, the special zone is first controlled during RT3. While the special zone is being prepared, the special zone has the right but is not yet controlled by the special zone (the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone has not started). During special zone preparation, it shifts from special zone preparation to special zone regardless of whether or not the stop switch is operated according to the navigation information when winning the uplifting lip. Thereby, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the specialization zone starts.

When shifting from the ART to the specialized zone, a start effect that suggests starting the specialized zone is executed, and delay control (also referred to as freeze) is performed to delay the progress of the game over a delay period. For example, the sub-control unit 91 executes the start effect by displaying a character image, a character image, or the like that suggests starting the specialized zone on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, the main control unit 41 performs MAX in the game won by the uplifting lip that is an opportunity to move to the specialized zone, or in the next game of the game (specialized zone start game).
The activation of the operation means related to the progress of the game such as the BET switch 6, the start switch 7, and the stop switch is delayed. Note that the start effect and the freeze are in a common mode when shifting from the ART to the specialized zone regardless of whether or not the stop switch is operated in accordance with the navigation information notified when the uplifting lip is won at RT3. Done.

Here, in a game that has won 7 rips during ART, the navigation information notified by the navigation effect changes depending on whether or not the special zone lottery is won. Specifically, when the main control unit 41 is won in the special zone lottery, the main control unit 41 transmits a command including information to that effect to the sub-control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 10, in the game where 7 lips are won during ART, the sub-control unit 91 displays the navigation information of the left first stop corresponding to lip 1 by the navigation effect when the special zone lottery is not won. When the notification is made and it is recognized based on the command from the main control unit 41 that the special zone lottery is won, the navigation information other than the first left stop corresponding to 7 lips is notified by the navigation effect. Accordingly, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated according to the navigation and the 7-set is displayed, it is possible to notify the player that the special zone right has been granted. The sub-control unit 9
No. 1 won 7 rips because during the special zone preparation and special zone after winning the special zone lottery, the player has been informed that the special zone right has been granted. The navigation information of the left first stop corresponding to Lip 1 in the game is notified by the navigation effect.

During ART, the number of net increase is increased by winning the leading role when winning the push order bell, and falling to RT1 due to display of special figure can be avoided. Also, when winning the promotion lip, it is possible to promote to RT4 by winning the RT4 transition lip while avoiding the fall to RT1 due to the RT1 transition lip winning. Furthermore, as mentioned above, RT3
Is in a state where the replay winning probability is high, and accordingly, it is less likely to lose the internal lottery than RT1 and RT2.

In the special zone, when the winning order is won, the number of net increase is increased by winning the leading role, and the fall to RT1 due to the display of the special figure can be avoided. RT1
It is also possible to avoid falling to RT1 due to winning of the RT1 transition lip when winning the falling lip. Furthermore, as described above, since RT4 has a high replay winning probability, it is less likely to lose the internal lottery than RT1 or RT2. Thus, ART
The AT-controlled state such as the special zone is more advantageous to the player than the RT1 and RT2 in that the net increase can be increased without consuming medals.

In the AT or specialized zone, an AT addition lottery is executed that allows the period controlled by the AT to be extended when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when an advantageous cherry combination is won). In the present embodiment, the probability of winning in the special zone is higher than the probability of winning in the special zone. In the special zone, when winning the BAR match lip or BAR temple, the first stop on the right will be notified as navigation information, and “Aim for BAR” to stop the BAR match on the winning line LN, etc. The BAR aiming effect for displaying the character image is executed. At this time, if the BAR symbol is stopped side by side by the operation of the stop switch by the player, it can be recalled that the player has been given some kind of privilege such as an extra prize. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the navigation background changes depending on whether or not the extra winning is selected, so that when the BAR matching lip or BAR templip is won during the specialization zone, the BAR aiming effect is executed and the navigation background As a result of the change, it is possible to expect a privilege such as winning by adding to the player further by their synergistic effect.

In this embodiment, the BAR matching lip and the BAR temple are not used as a trigger for the lottery, and at the time of winning, the navigation background is changed depending on whether or not the bonus has already been won. Therefore, the player can expect extra benefits such as winning. As a modified example, a BAR matching lip or a BAR tentative may be an opportunity for a lottery to be added, and the navigation background may be changed depending on whether or not the winner is selected by a lottery with these roles.

A state in which CZ has AT rights but is not yet controlled by ART (a state in which subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of AT has not started) is referred to as ART preparation. During the ART preparation in RT2, the RT3 transition lip can be promoted to RT3 by winning the RT3 transition lip while avoiding the fall to RT1 due to the RT1 transition lip winning when winning the entry lip. When promoted to RT3, it is controlled by ART and subtraction of the AT's advantageous remaining G number is started.

As shown in FIG. 8, a special lip can be won only at RT0. The special lip is a lottery trigger for a lottery related to the instruction function. For example, when a special lip is won in CZ during RT0, an AT game is awarded with a probability of 100%. When the AT game is awarded, the game is controlled by ART via the ART preparation. For this reason, the player expects to win a special lip at RT0 after the bonus is over before shifting to RT1 by displaying a special figure.

[Navigation information notification mode]
With reference to FIG. 11, a navigation mode of the navigation information in the navigation effect executed in the slot machine 1 will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining various tables related to a notification mode of navigation information.

First, the navigation mode will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.11 (a) is a figure for demonstrating the navigation mode determination table at the time of pushing order bell winning. In a game in which the push order bell is won, the color of the numeric image corresponding to the operation mode is selected from a plurality of types as the navigation mode. The sub-control unit 91 indicates that the push order bell has been won, the type of advantageous section being controlled,
In addition, the presence / absence of the extra winning is determined based on a command from the main control unit 41. Then, when the push order bell is won, the sub-control unit 91 selects white navigation (in accordance with the type of advantageous section under control and the presence / absence of the extra win based on the navigation mode determination table shown in FIG. The navigation mode is determined by any one of a navigation system in which a numeric image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed in white) and a yellow navigation system (navigation in which the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed in yellow).

As shown to Fig.11 (a), when the push order bell is elected when it is controlled to a precursor state or CZ, the kind of navigation mode is one kind of white navigation. When the push order bell is won when controlled by the AT, there are two types of navigation modes: white navigation and yellow navigation. In addition, A
When the push order bell is won while being controlled by T, the navigation mode differs depending on whether or not the extra winning is performed. For example, when the extra winning is not decided, white navigation is decided, while when the extra winning is won. It is determined as either white navigation or yellow navigation. When the push order bell is won while being controlled in the specialized zone, there are two types of navigation modes: white navigation and yellow navigation. In addition, when the push order bell is won while being controlled in the special zone, the navigation mode differs depending on whether or not the extra win is given. When you are doing it, it will be decided to yellow navigation.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when winning the push order bell, the types of navigation modes that can be selected differ depending on the type of advantageous section being controlled and the presence / absence of extra winning.

Next, the navigation background will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 (b)
These are the figures for demonstrating the navigation when a BAR matching lip or a BAR temper is elected. As shown in FIG. 11 (b), the sub-control unit 91 performs a BAR-equipped lip or BAR.
When the tempei is won, it is determined whether to notify the first right stop by navigation or to notify other than the first right stop (killing navigation) according to the type of advantageous section under control. For example, when it is controlled to a precursor state, CZ, or AT, a notification other than the first stop at the right is given by navigation. On the other hand, when controlled to the specialized zone, the right first stop is notified by navigation.

FIG. 11C is a diagram for explaining a navigation background determination table at the time of BAR matching lip winning. In the game where the BAR matching lip is won, the background color of the entire screen when the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed is selected from a plurality of types as the navigation background. When the BAR matching lip is won, the sub-control unit 91 selects a blue background (entire screen) according to the type of advantageous section under control and the presence / absence of the extra win based on the navigation background determination table shown in FIG. Navigation with a blue background), green background (navigation with a green background on the entire screen)
The navigation background is determined as one of a red background (navigation in which the background of the entire screen is displayed in red) and a gold background (navigation in which the background of the entire screen is displayed in gold).

As shown in FIG. 11C, when the BAR matching lip is won while being controlled by the precursor state or CZ, the navigation background type is one type of blue background. B when controlled by AT
When the AR matching lip is won, there are two types of navigation backgrounds, a blue background and a green background. In addition, if the BAR matching lip is won when controlled by the AT, the navigation background will differ depending on whether or not the extra winning is selected. When it is, it is determined as either a blue background or a green background. If you are elected to a BAR matching lip when controlled by a specialized zone, the navigation background type is a blue background,
There are four types: a green background, a red background, and a gold background. In addition, if the BAR matching lip is won while being controlled by the special zone, the navigation mode differs depending on whether or not the extra winning is selected. For example, when the extra winning is not decided, the blue background is determined. When it is, it is determined as one of a blue background, a green background, a red background, and a gold background.

FIG. 11D is a diagram for explaining a navigation background determination table at the time of winning a BAR template. In the game where the BAR template is won, the background color of the entire screen when the numerical image corresponding to the operation mode is displayed is selected from a plurality of types as the navigation background. When the BAR template is won, the sub-control unit 91, based on the navigation background determination table shown in FIG. 11 (d), depending on the type of advantageous section under control and the presence / absence of extra winning, The navigation background is determined by one of the red background and the red background.

As shown in FIG. 11D, when the BAR alignment template is won while being controlled to the precursor state or CZ, the navigation background type is one type of blue background. When the BAR template is won while being controlled by the AT, there are two types of navigation backgrounds, a blue background and a green background. In addition, when the BAR tempo is won while being controlled by the AT, the navigation background differs depending on whether or not the extra winning is performed. For example, when the extra winning is not decided, the background is determined to be a blue background while the extra winning is won. Sometimes it is determined as either a blue background or a green background. When the BAR template is won while being controlled in the specialized zone, there are three types of navigation backgrounds: a blue background, a green background, and a red background. In addition, if the BAR template is won while being controlled by the special zone, the navigation mode will differ depending on whether or not the extra prize is won. For example, if the bonus is not won, the blue background will be determined. It is determined as one of a blue background, a green background, and a red background.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when winning a BAR matching lip or a BAR template, the types of navigation backgrounds that can be selected differ depending on the type of advantageous section being controlled and the presence / absence of the extra winning.

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

(Common start processing)
FIG. 12 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 bet amount set.
As shown in FIG. 12, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section flag is ON (S10). The advantageous section flag is data indicating that it is in the advantageous section, and is set in the advantageous section winning process shown in FIG.

When the advantageous section flag is not ON (NO in S10), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the lottery type 1> 0 (S21). The lottery type 1 is an advantageous section transition combination (bonus 1
, Advantageous cherries, advantageous weak cherries, middle cherries, advantageous lips) is a data area for storing winning information.

Specifically, as indicated by * in FIGS. 8 and 12, each lottery target role is assigned a role number that can identify the type of each role. The role number is an advantageous section transition role, a role whose judgment value number does not change according to the RT state (a role whose winning probability does not change), a role whose judgment value number changes according to the RT state (a role whose winning probability changes) Large numbers are assigned in this order. On the premise of this rule, large numbers are assigned in the order of special role, small role, and replay role. In the present embodiment, bonus 1 which is an advantageous zone transition combination and special role, advantageous strong cherry, advantageous weak cherry, middle cherries, advantageous lip, and advantageous zone transition which are advantageous zone transition role and re-playing role. A combination number is assigned such as a bonus 2 which is not a combination and a special combination, and a push order bell which is a small combination which is not an advantageous section transition combination but whose number of judgment values does not change depending on the RT state.

The main control unit 41 sets a bit of the lottery type 1 if the winning number won in the internal lottery is a number of 50 or more assigned to the advantageous section transition winning combination. In this way, the main control unit 41 stores only the winning information of the advantageous section transition combination in the lottery type 1. Then, in the process of S21, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section transition combination is won by determining whether or not a bit is set in the data included in the lottery type 1.

As described above, the combination that triggers a bit in the lottery type 1 is limited to the advantageous section transition combination. For this reason, the main control part 41 can determine whether it transfers to an advantageous area only by referring the data contained in the lottery classification 1. FIG. Thereby, the data area used when determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous section can be centrally managed.

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 advantageous section winning process will be described later with reference to FIG. When the main control unit 41 does not have the lottery type 1> 0 (NO in S21)
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 (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
1 determines whether or not the advantageous section G number counter ≧ 1500 (NO in S12), or after the process of S13, whether a bonus is being performed (S14).

When the main control unit 41 is in a bonus (YES in S14), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S19. On the other hand, if the bonus is not in effect (NO in S14), the main control unit 41 determines whether it is in the interior (S15). When the main control unit 41 is in the inside (YE in S15)
S) and the process proceeds to S19.

On the other hand, if it is not inside (NO in S15), the main control unit 41 sets the 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, CZ1, CZ2, ART in preparation, ART,
Specialized zones are being prepared and specialized zones are included. The main control unit 41 sets one of these states as the main state.

The main control unit 41 determines whether bonus 1 or bonus 2 has been won (S1).
7). When the main control unit 41 wins bonus 1 or bonus 2 (Y17 in S17)
S), a return destination setting process is executed (S18), and the process proceeds to S19. The return destination setting process will be described later with reference to FIG. If the main control unit 41 has not won bonus 1 or bonus 2 (NO in S17), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S19.

The main control unit 41 executes a start process for 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 process will be described later with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 ends the common start process.

(Start processing in 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 return wait information = 0 (S41).
The return waiting information is information such as a symbol combination that triggers the start of the next main state set after the end of bonus 1 or bonus 2, and is set in a bonus start common process shown in FIG.

When the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S41), the main control unit 41 sets the main state =
It is determined whether the special zone is being prepared (S42). If the main state is not being prepared for the special zone (NO in S42), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S44. On the other hand, when the main state = specialized zone is being prepared (YES in S42), the main control unit 41 subtracts 1 from the advantageous remaining G counter in the advantageous section under control (S43). For example, when CZ is in progress, 1 is subtracted from the advantageous remaining G number of CZ. Also, if AT is in progress, AT's advantage G
The number is subtracted by 1, and if it is in the special zone, the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is subtracted by one.

As a modified example, in the case where a precursor period of a predetermined number of games is provided before shifting to the special zone during the AT, in addition to the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the AT, the special zone The advantageous remaining G number in the precursor period before shifting to may be subtracted. In other words, in this configuration, the number of games subtracted in S43, such as CZ, in the advantageous section is one (
CZ's advantageous remaining number), and the number of games subtracted in S43, such as AT, is 2
A case of the type (advantageous remaining G number of AT and advantageous remaining G number of precursor period to specialization zone) can be provided.

When the return waiting information is not 0 (NO in S41), or after the process of S43, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the lottery related to the instruction function has been won (S44). For example, when the main control unit 41 is CZ1 or CZ2, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT is won. Further, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the special zone has been won in the case of AT.

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. When the special zone right is granted during the AT, the main control unit 41 sets the next main state during special zone preparation.
On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not win the lottery related to the instruction function (NO in S44)
Then, it is determined 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), it is determined whether or not a continuous production is being performed (S46a). In the present embodiment, since the control period in the interior coincides with the execution period of the continuous effect, the main control unit 41 determines whether it is in the interior or not by determining whether the effect is in the interior. It can be determined whether or not. When the main control unit 41 is performing a continuous production (YES in S46a), the main control unit 41 executes an advantageous section extending process (S46b). The advantageous section extending process is a process of extending the advantageous section until at least the continuous performance ends. For example, the main control unit 41 adds a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) to the advantageous remaining G number in the advantageous section extending process. As a modification, the main control unit 41 executes the advantageous section extending process when the advantageous remaining G number becomes small and stops subtracting the advantageous remaining G number in the process (that is, the advantageous residual of S43). (Skip subtraction of G number counter). By executing such an advantageous section extending process, there is no situation where the advantageous section ends and the advantageous section lamp 19 is extinguished during execution of the continuous performance.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 is not in the continuous production (NO in S46a), the main control unit 41 executes the normal section return time process (S47). The normal section return process will be described later with reference to FIG.
On the other hand, the main control unit 41, for the advantageous section under control, when the advantageous remaining G number is not 0 (S
46, NO), after the process of S45, S46b, or S47, the start process of each main state is terminated.

(Navigation processing)
FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the navigation process. As shown in FIG. 14, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section flag is ON (S51). If the advantageous zone flag is not ON (NO in S51), the main control unit 41 ends the navigation process.

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

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 wins the push order (YES in S52), the main control unit 41 performs navigation control (S53). Here, the main control unit 41 varies the navigation control according to the gaming state and the type of advantageous section provided at that time. Specifically, in the case of RT0 after the bonus, the main control unit 41 notifies the navigation information at the time of the first push order bell winning when the CZ right is granted, and first when the AT right is granted. The navigation information is not notified at the time of winning the push order bell, and the navigation information is notified at the time of winning the subsequent push order bell.

By changing the navigation control in this way, the following game characteristics are obtained. That is, as described above, the special lip that can be won only at RT0 after the bonus is a lottery trigger for the lottery related to the instruction function. If you win a special lip when CZ rights are granted,
Since an AT game is awarded with a probability of 100%, the player expects to win a special lip before switching to RT1 by displaying a special figure at RT0. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the right of CZ is granted at RT0, the navigation information is notified at the time of the first push order bell winning so that the display of the special figure is avoided, and accordingly the gaming state is set to RT0. To maintain. Thereby, when the right of CZ is granted in RT0, the player can be expected to be given the AT game by the special lip winning.

On the other hand, if the AT right is granted in RT0, the control is performed by ART via RT2 in preparation for ART. For this reason, if the replay winning probability is maintained at RT0 for a long period of time, the amount of medals consumed will increase accordingly. Therefore, in the present embodiment, R
When the AT right is granted at T0, the special state is displayed by not displaying the navigation information when the first push order bell is won, and the gaming state is shifted to RT2. Then, after that, the navigation information is notified at the time of pressing the bell to avoid the display of the special figure. As a result, when the AT right is granted at RT0, A
RT can be controlled.

In addition, in the case of a gaming state other than RT0, the main control unit 41 notifies the navigation information at the time of the first push order bell winning even if any right of CZ and AT is granted.
Thereby, it is possible to avoid the display of a special figure at the time of pushing order bell winning, and to suppress the consumption of medals.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the push order bell is won (S54). If the main control unit 41 does not win the push order bell (NO in S54), the main control unit 41 ends the navigation process. On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 wins the push order bell (YES in S54), the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous zone navigation waiting flag = OFF (S55). The advantageous section navigation waiting flag is a winning that allows the maximum payout number to be obtained in the advantageous section (in this embodiment, a bell that is the leading role).
18 is data indicating whether or not the navigation in which the occurrence occurs is executed at least once.
This is set in the advantageous section winning process shown in. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 ends the navigation process.

(Common third release process)
FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the common third separation process. After the rotation of the reel, the main control unit 41 stops the final reel (third stop) by operating the stop switch, and executes the common third release process when the operation of the stop switch is released. As shown in FIG. 15, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a bonus is in progress (S61).

When the main control unit 41 is in the bonus (YES in S61), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S67. On the other hand, if the bonus is not in effect (NO in S61), the main control unit 41 determines whether it is in the interior (S62). When the main control unit 41 is in the inside (YE in S62)
S), the internal medium flag is set (S63), and the process proceeds to S67.

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

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

(Third release processing in each main state)
FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the third separation process in each main state. As shown in FIG. 16, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the navigation ignore flag = ON (S71).
). The navigation ignorance flag is data indicating that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated according to the navigation information although the navigation information is notified by the navigation notification by the main control unit 41, and will be described later. It is set in the display symbol determination process shown in FIG.

When the navigation neglect flag is not ON (NO in S71), the main control unit 41 determines whether the main state under control = ART is being prepared (S72). When the main state = ART preparation is in progress (YES in S72), the main control unit 41 determines whether the RT3 transition lip is displayed (S73). The main control unit 41 displays the RT3 transition lip (S7
3), the process proceeds to S76. On the other hand, when the RT3 transition lip is not displayed (NO in S73), the main control unit 41 ends the third release process in each main state.

When the main state = ART is not being prepared (NO in S72), the main control unit 41 determines whether the main state under control = specialized zone is being prepared (S74). Main control unit 41
If the main state = specialized zone is being prepared (YES in S74), it is determined whether or not the RT4 transition lip has been displayed (S75). When the RT4 transition lip is displayed (YES in S75), the main control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S76. On the other hand, the main control unit 41 has RT
If the 4 transition lip is not displayed (NO in S75), the third release process in each main state is terminated.

On the other hand, when the navigation neglect flag = ON (YES in S71), the main control unit 41 determines that S
The process proceeds to 76. The main control unit 41 sets the next main state (S76). For example, when the current main state is being prepared for ART, the main control unit 41 sets the main state from the next game to ART. Thereby, the subtraction of the AT's advantageous remaining G number is started from the next game. Moreover, the main control part 41 sets the main state from the next game to a special zone, when the present main state is preparing special zone. Thereby, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number in the specialized zone is started from the next game.

(Game end processing)
FIG. 17 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. 17, first, the main control unit 4
1 executes an advantageous section end determination process (S81). The advantageous section end determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the advantageous section end flag is ON (S8).
2). When the advantageous section end flag = ON (YES in S81), the main control unit 41
All the work pieces are cleared (S83). For example, the main control unit 41 clears the flag related to the advantageous section. For example, the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous section flag = OFF.
To. When the advantageous section end flag is not ON (NO in S81), the main control unit 41
Alternatively, after the process of S83, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section flag is ON (S84).

When the advantageous section flag = ON (YES in S84), the main control unit 41 performs a lighting process of the advantageous section lamp 19 (S85). On the other hand, when the advantageous section flag is not ON (NO in S84), the main control unit 41 performs the extinguishing process of the advantageous section lamp 19 (S86).
. The main control unit 41 ends the game end process after the process of S85 or S86.

(Process when advantageous section is won)
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining an advantageous section winning time process. As shown in FIG. 18, first, the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous zone flag = ON and the advantageous zone navigation wait flag = ON (S101).

Next, the main control unit 41 performs advantageous section allocation lottery (S102). In this process, the main control unit 41 shifts to CZ1 only after the precursor state, transitions to CZ1 after the precursor state, and C after the precursor state.
Either Z2 transition is determined by lottery. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 performs a game number lottery (S103). In this process, the main control unit 41 determines the number of games that have the right to control the advantageous section of the type determined in the process of S102 by lottery (S103).

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

(Return destination setting process)
FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining return destination setting processing. As shown in FIG. 19, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the bonus 2 is won (S121).

When the bonus 2 is won (YES in S121), the main control unit 41 sets the return main state to the main state (S126), and ends the return destination setting process. The return destination main state is the main state at RT0 after the bonus ends. That is, the main control unit 41 sets the main state after the end of bonus 2 to be the same as the current state, regardless of the main state in the game where the bonus 2 is won. Unlike bonus 1 which will be described later, even if bonus 2 is won, the right of AT will not be granted when bonus 2 is won.

On the other hand, when the bonus 2 is not won (NO in S121), that is, when the bonus 1 is won, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the main state is a normal section or a precursor state. (S122).

The main control unit 41 determines that the main state is a normal section or a precursor state (Y in S122).
ES), the return destination main state is set to CZ1 (S123), and the return destination setting process is terminated.
That is, when the main state in the game won for bonus 1 is a normal section or a precursor state, the main control unit 41 grants the right of CZ1 when the bonus 1 is won, and sets the main state after the end of bonus 1 to CZ1. Set.

On the other hand, when the main state is not a normal section or a precursor state (S12)
2), it is determined whether the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (S124). When the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (YES in S124), the main control unit 41
The return destination main state is set during ART preparation (S125), and the return destination setting process is terminated. In other words, when the main state in the bonus 1 winning game is CZ1 or CZ2, the main control unit 41 grants the AT right when the bonus 1 is won, and sets the main state after the bonus 1 is ended during ART preparation. To do.

On the other hand, if the main state is not CZ1 or CZ2 (NO in S124), that is, if the main state is ART preparation, ART, special zone preparation, or special zone, The state is set to the main state (S126). That is, the main control unit 41 determines that the main state in the game where the bonus 1 is won is ART preparation,
If the special zone is being prepared, or if it is a special zone, the main state after the end of bonus 1 is set to be the same as the current state. Thereafter, the main control unit 41 ends the return destination setting process.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the return main state after the bonus ends is set according to the main state in the game where the bonus is won. In bonus 1, a lottery related to the instruction function is performed according to the set type of the return destination main state.
For example, when a lottery opportunity such as an advantage or weak cherry is won during a bonus, if the return main state is CZ1, whether to grant the right to control the AT is determined by lottery, and the return main state If it is ART, it is determined by lottery whether to give the right to control to the specialized zone. In addition, in the lottery related to the instruction function, although the lottery is performed, 100% of the right to control the AT or the specialized zone may be determined. Alternatively, 100% of the right to control the AT or the special zone may be granted by winning the lottery opportunity without performing the lottery itself. On the other hand, during the bonus 2, the lottery related to the instruction function is not performed.

(Bonus start common processing)
FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the bonus start common processing. The main control unit 41 executes the bonus start common process after executing the common third release process in the bonus winning game. As shown in FIG. 20, first, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not return wait information = 0 (S131). When the main control unit 41 is not waiting for return information = 0 (
NO in S131), the bonus start common process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S131), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the next main state is ART (S132). The next main state at this time corresponds to the return destination main state set by the return destination setting process shown in FIG. For example, if the return destination main state = ART in preparation or ART, the next main state = ART. If return destination main state = specialized zone is being prepared or specialized zone, next main state = specialized zone. If the return destination main state = CZ1, the next main state = CZ1. If the next main state is ART (YES in S132), the main control unit 41 sets the return waiting information to wait for RT3 transition lip display (S133), and ends the bonus start common processing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the main state is CZ1 or CZ2 when the bonus 1 is won, the main control unit 41 sets the return main state after the end of bonus 1 to ART.
Set during preparation. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the AT during the bonus 1, but does not subtract the advantageous remaining G number of the AT. Then, at RT0 after the bonus 1 ends, the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification at the time of winning the push bell until the special figure is displayed, and the special figure is displayed and the process proceeds to RT1 to win the entry lip. Sometimes navigation notifications are made. Thereafter, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in accordance with the navigation and the RT3 transition lip is displayed and the gaming state transitions to RT3, subtraction of the AT's advantageous remaining G number is started for the first time.

On the other hand, when the next main state is not ART (NO in S132), the main control unit 41
It is determined whether or not the next main state is a specialized zone (S134). When the next main state is the specialized zone (YES in S134), the main control unit 41 sets return wait information to RT4.
A transition lip display wait is set (S135), and the bonus start common processing is terminated.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the main control unit 41 specializes the return main state after completion of bonus 1 or bonus 2 when the main state is being prepared for special zone when bonus 1 or bonus 2 is won. Set during zone preparation. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the special zone during bonus 1 or bonus 2, but does not subtract the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone. Then, the main control unit 41 does not perform navigation notification at the time of winning the push bell until the special figure is displayed at RT0 after the bonus 1 or bonus 2 ends, and the special figure is displayed and the process proceeds to RT1 to enter the entry lip. Navigation notification will be given when winning. Thereafter, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated according to the navigation and the RT4 transition lip is displayed and the gaming state transitions to RT4, subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number in the specialized zone is started for the first time.

When the next main state is not the specialized zone (NO in S134), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the next main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (S136). If the next main state is not CZ1 or CZ2 (NO in S136), the main control unit 41 sets the advantageous zone navigation wait flag = OFF (S140), and ends the bonus start common processing.

On the other hand, when the next main state is CZ1 or CZ2 (S13)
It is determined whether or not the bonus 2 is won (S137). If bonus 2 has not been won (NO in S137), that is, if bonus 1 has been won, return waiting information is set to a special figure display waiting (S139), and an advantageous zone navigation waiting flag is set to OFF. (S140), the bonus start common processing is terminated.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when the main state is a normal section or a precursor state when the bonus 1 is won, the main control unit 41 sets the return destination main state after the bonus 1 is ended to C
Set to Z1. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls CZ1 during bonus 1, but does not subtract the advantageous remaining G number of CZ1. The main control unit 41 starts subtracting the advantageous remaining G number of CZ1 for the first time when a special figure is displayed and the process proceeds to RT1 at RT0 after the end of bonus 1.

On the other hand, when winning the bonus 2 (YES in S137), the main control unit 41 sets the return waiting information to the end of bonus 2 (S138), sets the advantageous zone navigation waiting flag = OFF (S140), and starts the bonus End common processing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the main control unit 41 sets the main state at the time of winning the bonus 2 as the return main state after the bonus 2 ends. If the main state is CZ1 when the bonus 2 is won, the return main state after the bonus 2 ends is also set to CZ1 (the same applies to CZ2). In this case, at RT0 after the end of bonus 2, CZ
The subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of 1 or CZ2 is started immediately. For this reason, the return waiting information is set to the end of bonus 2, and when the bonus 2 ends and is controlled to CZ1 or CZ2, the return waiting information is set to 0 without waiting for display of a special figure.

Further, regarding the setting of the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF, a bonus 2 winning will be described as an example. For example, when a transition is made from CZ to a bonus, the state of CZ is maintained in the case of bonus 2 winning (the transition is made during ART preparation in the case of bonus 1 winning). In CZ,
The navigation information is notified by the push-bell winning, so that the player receives the maximum number of payouts, and the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF. If the bonus 2 is won, the player receives a bonus 2 payout. As a result, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF, assuming that an advantageous state has occurred as in the case of pushing-bell winning.

As a modification, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is used in a bonus winning game.
The timing is not limited to that set to OFF in S140 after the common third separation process is executed, and may be set to OFF at any timing after this timing until the bonus ends. For example, it may be the timing when the payout ends in the bonus winning game or the timing when the start switch 7 of the next game winning the bonus is operated. However, if the bonus is a combination that is not missed, it may be the timing when the bonus is won. If you move from CZ to Bonus 1,
You may make it return to CZ again.

As described above, the return main state set in S122, S124, and S125 of FIG. 19 starts subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number when the display result set as the return waiting information is derived after the bonus ends. This is a state for shifting to a state.

(Process when returning to normal section)
FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the normal section return processing. As shown in FIG. 21, first, the main control unit 41 sets the main state to the normal section (S151).

[Relationship between continuous production and advantageous section lamp lighting]
With reference to FIG. 25, the lighting of the advantageous section lamp in the case where the execution period of the continuous performance and the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp overlap will be described. FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a timing chart for explaining the relationship between the continuous performance and the lighting of the advantageous section lamp. As shown in FIG. 25, this timing chart includes, in order from the top, a line indicating whether or not an advantageous cherry is won, a line indicating whether or not the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit, and a line indicating whether or not continuous performance is performed, And a line indicating whether or not the bonus is controlled.

First, with reference to FIG. 25A, a case where the continuous effect falls within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp will be described. As shown in FIG. 25A, at the timing t1 (hereinafter, “timing” is omitted), when the advantageous section is won based on the winning of the advantageous cherry role, the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 is started. The advantageous section is controlled according to the number of games given at the time of winning the advantageous section, and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit during the period in which the advantageous section is controlled. For example, if a predecessor state of 20 games and a CZ of 30 games are awarded when an advantageous section is won based on the winning of an advantageous cherry role, the advantageous section is controlled over a total of 50 games. Keeps on. Hereinafter, such a predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 is also referred to as a predetermined lighting period. In this example, the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t5.

After the advantageous cherry combination is won, a continuous effect is executed over a period from t1 to t2 in which a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games) are obtained. At t <b> 2, the player is informed of the fact that the result of continuous production is controlled by CZ.

After that, at t3, when the winning cherry role is won again and the bonus is won, the inside of the next game is controlled. Then, after the winning cherry winning combination is won, a continuous effect is executed over t3 to t4, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). During this time, the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the continuous performance execution period overlap, but in this example, the continuous performance execution period falls within the predetermined lighting period. At t4, the player is informed that the bonus has been won as the final result of the continuous performance, and thereafter the bonus is controlled. The advantageous section lamp 19 is t5 when a predetermined lighting period determined in advance elapses.
Goes off.

Next, with reference to FIG. 25B, a case where the continuous effect does not fall within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp will be described. As shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the advantageous section is won based on the winning of the advantageous cherry combination at t1, the advantageous section lamp 19 starts to be lit. The advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit for a predetermined lighting period in which the advantageous section is controlled. In this example, the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t4.

After the advantageous cherry combination is won, a continuous effect is executed over a period from t1 to t2 in which a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games) are obtained. At t2, as a final result of the continuous performance, for example, the player is notified of the fact that it is controlled to CZ, for example.

After that, at t3, when the winning cherry role is won again and the bonus is won, the inside of the next game is controlled. Then, after the advantageous cherry combination is won, a continuous effect is executed over t3 to t5, which is a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). Here, while the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t4, the execution period of the continuous effect is t
It is 3 to t5, and the execution period of the continuous production does not fall within the predetermined lighting period.

In view of this, the advantageous section extension process shown in FIG. 13 is performed so that the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be turned on at least during the period in which the continuous performance is being executed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the execution of the continuous presentation has ended. The advantageous section is extended to t6. Thereby, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the bonus is controlled after the continuous performance is completed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 25C, a modified example in the case where the continuous effect does not fall within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp will be described. As shown in FIG. 25C, when the advantageous section is won based on the winning of the advantageous cherry role at t1, the advantageous section lamp 19 starts to be lit. The advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit for a predetermined lighting period in which the advantageous section is controlled. In this example, the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t4.

After the advantageous cherry combination is won, a continuous effect is executed over a period from t1 to t2 in which a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games) are obtained. At t2, as a final result of the continuous performance, for example, the player is notified of the fact that it is controlled to CZ, for example.

After that, at t3, when the winning cherry role is won again and the bonus is won, the inside of the next game is controlled. And after an advantageous cherry combination is won, it is scheduled that a continuous production will be performed over t3 to t5 which becomes a predetermined number of games (for example, 20 games). Here, while the predetermined lighting period is a period from t1 to t4, the execution period of the continuous effect is t3 to t5, and the execution period of the continuous effect does not fall within the predetermined lighting period.

Therefore, based on the remaining period of the predetermined lighting period so that the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit at least during the period in which the continuous effect is being executed, and the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the execution of the continuous effect has ended. The execution period of continuous production is shortened. Thereby, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off after the bonus is controlled after the continuous performance is completed. In addition, the content of the continuous effect when shortened may omit a part of the effect when not shortened, or the same content as the effect when not shortened, but shorten the time (for example, fast-forward) ), Or may be changed to an effect with a content different from the effect when not shortened (for example, an effect with a deeper content due to a shorter time).

In this way, at least in the period during which the continuous effect is being executed, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit and after the execution of the continuous effect has ended (when controlled by the bonus, after being controlled by the bonus after the continuous effect) Then, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off.

Note that the advantageous interval is within a predetermined period (for example, 30 games) even after the number of AT games to be controlled by the AT and the number of specialized zone games to be controlled to the specialized zone are exhausted. It may be continuous. Such a period is also referred to as a pull back period. In this pull-back period, for example, the display state of the liquid crystal display 51 displays the background image for the normal section in the same way as the normal section, but the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit because the advantageous section still continues. to continue. In the pullback period, for example, as a lottery related to the instruction function, A
When a T lottery is performed and a win is made in the AT lottery, the number of AT games is given and the ART is controlled again.

In the pull-back period as described above, a rare role such as an advantageous cherry role may be won. In this case, in the pull-back period after the end of ART, a continuous effect is executed in response to the rare role winning. That is, in the pullback period, the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution of the continuous effect overlap. In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even when the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution of the continuous effect overlap in the pullback period, the advantageous section lamp 19 is at least during the execution of the continuous effect. It is designed not to turn off.

For example, when 20 games are continuously produced by rare winning when there are two remaining games in the withdrawal period, the advantageous section continues and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit even after two games have elapsed. Then, after the 20-game continuous effect ends (when controlled by the bonus, after the continuous effect is controlled by the bonus), the advantageous interval ends and the advantageous interval lamp 19 is also turned off.

As described above, even in the pull-back period in which the AT control is executed again, if the lighting of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution of the continuous effect overlap, at least the advantageous period in the period in which the continuous effect is executed. The advantageous section lamp 19 may be turned off after the lamp 19 continues to be lit and after the execution of the continuous effect ends (when controlled by the bonus, after the bonus effect is controlled after the continuous effect).

That is, in this embodiment, the advantageous section lamp 1 is triggered by the fact that the advantageous section is won.
When continuous production is performed while 9 is lit and the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit (
26 (a) to (c), for example, and the same control in the case where the continuous effect is executed while the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit during the pull-back period where the advantageous section is about to end. By this, the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit at least during the period when the continuous performance is being executed,
The advantageous section lamp 19 is extinguished after the execution of the continuous effect ends (when controlled by a bonus, after the bonus effect is controlled after the continuous effect).

[Timing chart when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games during the bonus]
FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating a timing chart for explaining a case where the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus. FIG. 27 shows that the number of advantageous sections G is 15 in the bonus.
It is a figure for demonstrating the result screen about the case where 00 game is reached. First, FIG.
With reference to 6 (a) and FIG. 27 (a), a case where the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the non-bonus will be described.

As shown in FIG. 26A, this timing chart includes, in order from the top, a line indicating the type of game section being controlled, a line indicating the type of background effect being executed, and a line indicating whether or not the freeze is being executed. And a line indicating whether or not the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit.

Prior to t0, the vehicle is controlled to an advantageous section. During the advantageous section, the background effect for the advantageous section is executed and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit. When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games at t0, the advantageous section shifts to the normal section. Accordingly, the background effect for the advantageous section is switched to the background effect for the normal section, and the advantageous section lamp 1
9 goes out.

In this example, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out in the advantageous section. In the game in which the advantageous section has ended, freezing is executed and the result of the game in the advantageous section is notified. For example, as shown in FIG. 27A, in the result notification, the liquid crystal display 5
1 shows the result screen. In the result screen, a region 51a indicating the character of the result, a region 51b indicating the number of medals paid out in the advantageous section, and a region 51c indicating the number of digested games in the advantageous section are included as templates. The number of advantageous section G is 1 during non-bonus.
In the result screen when 500 games are reached, the area 51a, the area 51b, and the area 5
An image is displayed on all of 1c. For example, the text image “RESULT” is displayed in the area 51a, the text image “1700” is displayed in the area 51b, and “1” is displayed in the area 51c.
A character image of “500 games” is displayed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 26B and FIG. 27B, a case where the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games in the bonus 1 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 26 (b), this timing chart includes, in order from the top, a line indicating the type of game section being controlled, a line indicating the type of background effect being executed, and a line indicating whether or not the bonus is controlled. And a line indicating whether or not the freeze is performed, a line indicating whether or not the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit, and a line indicating whether or not the bonus lamp 60 is lit.

Prior to t2, it is controlled to be an advantageous section. During the advantageous section, the background effect for the advantageous section is executed and the advantageous section lamp 19 continues to be lit. When the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games at t2, the advantageous section shifts to the normal section. Accordingly, the background effect for the advantageous section is switched to the background effect for the normal section, and the advantageous section lamp 1
9 goes out. The operation of the background effect and the advantageous section lamp 19 in FIG. 26B is the same as the operation of the background effect and the advantageous section lamp 19 in FIG.

On the other hand, the freeze and result notification in FIG. 26B operate differently from the freeze and result notification in FIG. This will be described below.

It is assumed that the bonus is won at t1 in the advantageous section and the bonus is controlled until t3 thereafter. The bonus lamp 60 is lit for the period from t1 to t3 during the bonus.

Here, it is assumed that 1700 medals are paid out in the advantageous section. Also, during the bonus, 325 medals are paid out, of which t after the advantageous section ends
Assume that 174 medals are paid out at 2 to t3. In this case, the total value of medals paid out during the advantageous section and during the bonus is 1874. Furthermore, it is assumed that a bonus is given over 20 games from t2 to t3.

In the example of FIG. 26 (b), unlike the example of FIG. 26 (a), freezing and result notification are not performed at t2 when the advantageous section ends, but are performed at t3 when the bonus ends. Specifically, in a game in which the bonus has ended, freezing is executed, and a total value obtained by adding the number of medals paid out only during the bonus to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section is notified by the result notification. Informed. In the result screen when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus, while images are displayed in the areas 51a and 51b, the area 51c
Does not display an image. For example, as shown in FIG. 27B, the region 51a has “RE
A character image “SULT” is displayed, and a character image “1874” is displayed in the area 51b. On the other hand, the area 51c is not used, and no character image is displayed in the area. Thus, unlike the example of FIG. 26A, the number of digested games in the advantageous section (150
The character image indicating 0G) is not displayed, and further, the character image indicating the total number of games (1520G) controlled in either the advantageous section or the bonus is not displayed.

Thus, the bonus is controlled during the advantageous section, and the advantageous section G number is 1 in the bonus.
Depending on whether or not 500 games have been reached, the result notification and freeze control are different. In the present embodiment, the case where the bonus 1 is won is described. However, the same applies to the case where the bonus 2 is won.

[Timing chart when bonus is won during ART]
Next, a case where a bonus is won during ART will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 29 shows the AR
It is a figure which shows the timing chart for demonstrating the case where a bonus is won during T. FIG. In the present embodiment, a case where bonus 1 is won will be described.

FIG. 29A is a diagram showing a case where a bonus is won at t1 in the limiter arrival unconfirmed state (also referred to as a first situation) as the first state. FIG. 29B is a diagram illustrating a case where a bonus is won at t1 in the limiter arrival confirmed state (also referred to as a second situation) as the second state. (A) in FIG. 29 (A) and (C) in FIG. 29 (B) show controlled states. (A) in FIG. 29 (A) and (D) in FIG. 29 (B). ) Indicates an effect screen (screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51).

Here, the limiter arrival unconfirmed state is a state in which it is not determined that the advantageous section G number will reach the limiter (1500 games). In the limiter arrival unconfirmed state, for example, the value of the number of advantageous sections G is 1000 games (the advantageous sections have been used for 1000 games), and it is confirmed that the remaining 200 games are controlled to the advantageous sections. State. In other words, when the value of the advantageous section G number is 1000 games, it is determined that the advantageous section game is controlled over 1200, and the number of games in the advantageous section reaches the limiter (1500 games). It is in a state where it is not decided to do.

On the other hand, the limiter arrival confirmation state is a state in which it is determined that the advantageous section G number has reached the limiter (1500 games). For example, in the limiter arrival confirmation state, the value of the advantageous section G number counter is 1000 games (the advantageous sections are consumed by 1000 games)
This is a state in which it is determined that the advantageous section is controlled over the remaining 500 games. In other words, the limiter arrival confirmed state is a state in which it is determined that the advantageous section game is controlled over 1500 at the time when the value of the advantageous section G number counter is 1000 games (the limiter reaching confirmation is confirmed. State).

First, FIG. 29A will be described. As shown at t1, etc., a navigation effect is executed during ART. Also assume that a bonus is won at t1 during ART. As a result of the bonus winning, the gaming state transitions to the inside of the bonus. Further, the navigation effect is not executed within the bonus in the present embodiment. If a bonus is won during ART, this ART will be temporarily suspended.

Then, in the game started at t2 (bonus winning game), it is assumed that a combination of bonus symbols (in FIG. 29, bonus outcome) is derived based on the bonus winning.
t3 is the timing at which this bonus outcome is derived.

At t3, the start freeze is executed. Freeze is a state in which the progress of the game is delayed. For example, a freeze is a state in which a game progress operation from a player is not accepted (or delayed). The start freeze is a freeze indicating that the bonus game is started. The start freeze is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Along with the execution of the start freeze, a bonus start effect is executed. The bonus start effect is an effect indicating that the bonus game is started. In the example of FIG. 29, the characters “bonus start!” Are displayed.

The bonus game (bonus state) is started from t4 when the start freeze is finished.
During the bonus, a bonus medium effect (not shown) for notifying that the bonus is being performed is executed. The bonus medium effect is an effect in which, for example, a character with a premium feeling is displayed.

Further, it is assumed that the winning combination is won at t5 during the bonus game. here,
It is assumed that the player has been elected and won by the extra winning role but has not yet reached the limiter. Here, “limiter arrival unconfirmed” means the number of games that is obtained by adding the number of AT games given by the extra winning and the value of the advantageous section G number counter when the AT extra winning is won (hereinafter referred to as AT extra winning) It is said that the number of hour addition games) does not reach 1500. For example, when the value of the advantageous section G counter is 1100 games, and 200 AT games are added and won, the number of additional games at the time of AT addition is 1300 games.
1500 games are not reached. Therefore, in this case, the limiter arrival is uncertain.

On the other hand, “limiter arrival confirmation” means that the number of added games at the time of winning the AT is 1500 or more. For example, if the value of the advantageous section G number counter is 1450 games and 100 AT games are won, the number of additional games at the time of AT winning is 1550
Since it is a game, 1500 games are reached. Therefore, in this case, the limiter arrival is confirmed.

In addition, when the extra winning is selected but the limiter arrival has not been determined, the extra freeze is executed. The extra freeze is a freeze indicating that the number of AT games has been added. The extra freeze is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Along with the execution of the extra freeze, the extra effect is executed. The extra effect is an effect indicating that the number of AT games has been added. In the example of FIG. 29, the characters “Add AT!” Are displayed.

After that, at t8, it is assumed that a bonus final game that is the final game in bonus is started. t9 is the timing at which this bonus final game ends.

At t9, the end freeze is executed. The end freeze is a freeze indicating that the bonus game is ended. The end freeze is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Further, a bonus end effect is executed simultaneously with the execution of the end freeze. The bonus end effect is an effect indicating that the bonus game is ended. In the example of FIG.
This is an effect of notifying the number of medals awarded during the bonus. In the example of FIG. 29, “TOTA
L325 sheets! "Is displayed.

When the lever-on operation is executed at t10 when the ending freeze is finished, the interrupted AT game is resumed.

Next, FIG. 29B showing the limiter arrival confirmed state (second state) will be described.
In the limiter arrival confirmation state, the ending effect is executed. This ending production is
This is an effect indicating that the period of the advantageous section has been confirmed to reach the limiter. Thereby, it is possible to make the player recognize that the period of the advantageous section has been determined to reach the limiter.

Next, the start timing (start condition) of the ending effect will be described. When an extra lottery is executed in an extra lottery executed in a state where the number of games in the advantageous segment has not yet reached the limiter (first state), the number of games in the advantageous segment reaches the limiter by the extra lottery. Suppose that this is a confirmed state (second state). In this case, the ending effect is started with the winning game (game in which the number of games in the advantageous section is determined to reach the limiter). In addition, the ending effect may be started after a predetermined number of games have been consumed from the winning game. The predetermined number of games may be a predetermined number of games or may be a number of games determined by random number lottery. FIG. 29 (B)
In the example, the ending effect is started from t1, but the ending effect may be started at a timing earlier than t1.

In addition, when another effect is executed during execution of the ending effect, the other effect may be executed together with the ending effect. In the example of FIG. 29B, an example is shown in which a navigation effect is also executed in addition to an ending effect. Moreover, this ending effect is continued until the number of advantageous section digest games reaches the limiter. Moreover, the ending effect of this embodiment is a winning run effect in which a screen on which a character is running is displayed.

Then, in the game started at t2 (bonus winning game), it is assumed that a combination of bonus symbols (in FIG. 29, bonus outcome) is derived based on the bonus winning.
t3 is the timing at which this bonus outcome is derived.

Here, when the control to the bonus state is started during the limiter arrival confirmation state, the start freeze is not executed. In addition, the bonus start effect is not executed when the start freeze is not executed. Then, the bonus game (bonus state) is started from the game (t4) next to the game from which the bonus outcome is derived.

Further, it is assumed that an extra lottery role is won at t4 during the bonus game. Here, even if an extra lottery is performed by an extra lottery executed in the extra lottery winning, the AT game number is not added because the limiter arrival is confirmed. As the number of AT games is not increased, neither the additional freeze nor the additional effect is executed. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the bonus lottery combination is won in the bonus controlled during the second state, the bonus lottery is executed. With such a configuration, when the extra lottery combination is won, the extra lottery is executed regardless of whether it is in the first state or the second state.
Therefore, it is possible to share the processing for the extra lottery in the first state and in the second state.

As a modified example, in the bonus controlled during the second state, even if the extra lottery wins, the extra lottery may not be executed. If it is the structure of such a modification, the process which performs an addition lottery can be reduced.

After that, at t5, it is assumed that a bonus final game that is a final game in bonus is started. t6 is the timing at which this bonus final game ends. Here, at t6 when the bonus final game ends, the end freeze is not executed. In addition, the bonus end effect is not executed when the end freeze is not executed. In the present embodiment, the case where the bonus 1 is won is described. However, the same applies to the case where the bonus 2 is won. However, if bonus 2 is won, no extra lottery will be performed.

In the present embodiment, the bonus state can be controlled in either the limiter arrival unconfirmed state (first state) or the limiter arrival confirmed state (second state). In addition, FIG.
As shown in (A), the start freeze can be executed when the control to the bonus state is started during the first state. By executing the start freeze, the player can clearly recognize that the control to the bonus state has been started.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29B, when the control to the bonus state is started during the second state, this start freeze is not executed. The reason for this will be described. In the second state, since the ending effect is being executed, the player recognizes that the limiter arrival has been confirmed. In this way, under the situation where the player recognizes that the limiter has been reached, if the start freeze is executed, the progress of the game is unnecessarily delayed, I feel annoyed. Therefore, in this embodiment, in the second state, when the control to the bonus state is started, the start freeze is not executed. This can prevent the player from feeling bothersome. Further, since the start freeze is not executed and the progress of the game is not delayed, it is possible to smoothly shift from the bonus internal state to the bonus state.

[Timing chart when bonus 2 is won during CZ2]
In the above-described slot machine, the advantageous zone navigation waiting flag is set to OFF based on the bonus being controlled during the advantageous zone.

In this embodiment, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = ON when controlled to the advantageous section.
(S13), and in accordance with the fact that the bonus section navigation wait flag = OFF is set by the push order bell winning that becomes the notification target of the navigation information in the advantageous section (S55), in addition to the bonus 2 being controlled. However, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF (S140).
I did it. Then, when the advantageous section end condition is satisfied, if the advantageous section navigation waiting flag = OFF is set, the advantageous section is ended, and the advantageous section navigation waiting flag =
When it is not set to OFF, the advantageous section is not terminated until the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF.

In this way, the advantageous section can be terminated based on the fact that conditions advantageous to the player, such as notification of navigation information by pushing order bell winning and control to bonus 2, are established. Thereby, the alerting | reporting of navigation information can be managed appropriately in an advantageous area.

Hereinafter, the case where the bonus is won during the advantageous section and the case where the bonus is not won will be specifically described as examples.

As described above, the bonus in the present embodiment includes bonus 1 and bonus 2.
Bonus 1 wins Bonus 1 regardless of the set value (no setting difference)
It is. On the other hand, the bonus 2 is a bonus (there is a setting difference) that is won with a probability corresponding to the set value.

Since bonus 1 is an advantageous section transition combination, in this embodiment, the AT right is granted by winning bonus 1 in CZ2. As a result, after the bonus 1 is over, the program shifts to ART. Further, in bonus 1 where there is no setting difference, a lottery relating to navigation and an instruction function is performed.

On the other hand, since bonus 2 is not an advantageous section transition combination, even if bonus 2 is won during CZ2, no AT right is granted. For this reason, CZ2 again after bonus 2
Will be controlled. In addition, in the bonus 2 where there is a setting difference, the lottery related to the navigation and the instruction function is not performed.

As described above, CZ2 is in a state where the degree of advantage regarding control to the AT is higher than that in the normal section. In addition to this, if the control is again performed by CZ2 after bonus 2 ends, R
By controlling to T0, the degree of advantage regarding control to AT is further increased.

Specifically, at RT0 after the end of bonus 2, a special lip is a winning combination. The special lip is won with a high probability (for example, 1/5). When the bonus is controlled during the CZ and the special lip is won during the CZ after the bonus 2 ends, the AT right is granted. As a result, the ART is controlled after the ART is being prepared.

As described above, when the right of CZ2 is granted at RT0, the navigation information is notified at the time of the first push order bell winning, thereby avoiding the display of the special figure, and the game state is maintained at RT0 accordingly. As a result, when the bonus 2 is controlled from CZ2, the possibility of winning the special lip winning in CZ2 after the bonus 2 ends increases. In this way, bonus 2
In CZ2 after ending, the probability that the right of AT is granted by the special lip winning is higher than CZ2 before being controlled by bonus 2.

Here, the flow from the control of CZ2 to the end of CZ2 will be described as follows. First, when an advantageous section transition combination is won in the normal section, the next game is controlled to the advantageous section. When the control to the advantageous section is determined, it is determined to shift to CZ2 after the sign state, for example, by the advantageous section distribution lottery, and the number of CZ games is determined by the game number lottery. Further, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to ON.

When the number of CZ games is exhausted after being controlled by CZ2, if the advantageous zone navigation wait flag is set to OFF by pushing order bell winning, the advantageous zone ends. On the other hand, when the number of CZ games is exhausted, the advantageous section is not terminated when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is not set to OFF. In this case, thereafter, the advantageous section ends in a game in which the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF by pushing order bell winning.

Further, when bonus 2 is won during CZ2 and the bonus 2 is won, the CZ game number counter stops. In other words, while the bonus 2 is controlled, the number of CZ games is not counted. When bonus 2 ends and is controlled again to CZ2, the CZ game number counter resumes counting. And the advantageous section continues until the number of CZ games is consumed.

Hereinafter, a specific description will be given using a timing chart with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31. FIG. FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating a timing chart for explaining a case where bonus 2 is not won during CZ2. First, with reference to FIG. 30 (A), a case will be described in which when the bonus 2 is not won during CZ2, the push order bell is won until the number of CZ games of CZ2 is completely exhausted.

As shown in FIG. 30A, this timing chart includes, in order from the top, a line indicating whether or not a winning combination has been won, a line indicating an advantageous section navigation waiting flag setting (ON / OFF), and C
A line indicating whether or not Z2 is in progress, a line indicating whether or not bonus 2 is in progress, and ART
And a line indicating whether or not it is inside. The same applies to the timing charts of FIG. 30B and FIG.

Prior to t2, control is performed in the normal section. If an advantageous section transition combination is won at t1, the next game is shifted from the normal section to the advantageous section at t2. Along with this, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to ON, and the precursor state is controlled.

In this example, it is assumed that it is determined to shift to CZ2 after the sign state in the advantageous section sorting lottery. Further, it is assumed that the number of CZ games is determined to be 20 games by game number lottery.

After a precursor effect for a predetermined number of games, the process proceeds to CZ2 at t3. When shifting to CZ2, counting of the number of CZ games is started. At t4, if you win the push order bell,
The advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF. And the count of the number of CZ games is 20
When the game is reached, the end condition of the advantageous section is established. In the example of FIG.
Because the push order bell is won during CZ2, 20 games have been completed under the control of CZ2.
In C6, CZ2 ends. As a result, the advantageous section ends and the normal section is controlled.

Next, with reference to FIG. 30 (B), a case will be described in which when the bonus 2 is not won during CZ2, the push order bell is not won until the number of CZ games of CZ2 is completely exhausted.

As shown in FIG. 30B, the control is performed in the normal section before t2. t1
If the winning combination for winning an advantageous section is won, the normal section is shifted to the advantageous section at t2, which is the next game. Hereinafter, description of portions similar to those in FIG.

In the example of FIG. 30 (B), unlike FIG. 30 (A), after the control of CZ2 until the count of the number of CZ games reaches 20 games and the end condition of the advantageous section is satisfied,
Assume that the push order bell was not won. In this case, control to CZ2 is continued. And
Assume that the tapping bell is won at t5 when the count of the number of CZ2 games is 28 games. By pressing the push order bell, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF. And control to CZ2 is complete | finished by the game from which the advantageous area navigation waiting flag = OFF. As a result, the control to the advantageous section is completed, and the normal game is controlled from the next game t6.

FIG. 31 is a diagram showing a timing chart for explaining a case where bonus 2 is won in CZ2. First, with reference to FIG. 31A, a case where a special lip is not won in CZ2 after the end of bonus 2 when bonus 2 is won during CZ2 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 31A, the control is performed in the normal section before t2. t1
If the winning combination for winning an advantageous section is won, the normal section is shifted to the advantageous section at t2, which is the next game. Along with this, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to ON, and the precursor state is controlled.

In this example, it is assumed that it is determined to shift to CZ2 after the sign state in the advantageous section sorting lottery. Further, it is assumed that the number of CZ games is determined to be 20 games by game number lottery.

After a precursor effect for a predetermined number of games, the process proceeds to CZ2 at t3. When shifting to CZ2, counting of the number of CZ games is started. Assume that bonus 2 is won at t4. Even if the bonus 2 is won, the control to the CZ2 is continued until the bonus 2 is controlled by winning.

Assume that bonus 2 is won in the eighth game after being controlled by CZ2. At this time, after the operation of stopping the last reel of the game that won the bonus 2, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF. Then, the control for CZ2 in the game ends, and the counter for the number of CZ2 games stops at 8. However, since the count of the number of CZ games, which is the CZ2 end condition, has not reached 20 games, after the bonus 2 ends, the control is again made to CZ2.

At t6, which is the next game after the bonus 2 win, the bonus 2 is controlled. Thereafter, when the bonus 2 end condition (more than 27 medals are paid out) is established, bonus 2 ends. When bonus 2 ends, control is again made to CZ2 at t7. At this time, C
Since the counter (8 games) before the control of bonus 2 is taken over as the counter for the number of Z games, the number of CZ games is started from the ninth game at t7.

In addition, when the bonus 2 ends, the gaming state is controlled to RT0. That is, FIG.
In the example of A), after bonus 2 ends, it is controlled to CZ2 and to RT0. As described above, the special lip becomes a lottery target role by controlling to RT0. The special lip is won with high probability, and the right of AT is granted by winning the special lip. This increases the possibility of being controlled by ART.

In this example, it is assumed that the special lip is not won until the count of the number of CZ games reaches 20 games. At t8 when the count of CZ games reached 20 games,
The end condition of the advantageous section is established. In the example of FIG. 31 (A), CZ2 ends because the advantageous zone navigation wait flag has already been set to OFF by bonus 2 winning. When CZ2 ends, the advantageous section ends and control is made to the normal section.

When it is controlled in the normal section, the navigation information is not notified at the time of winning the push order bell.
For this reason, it becomes easy to display a special figure by an incorrect answer procedure. Since the control to RT0 is completed by displaying the special figure, the special lip is excluded from the lottery target combination.

Next, referring to FIG. 31 (B), in the case where bonus 2 is won during CZ2,
A case where a special lip is won in CZ2 after bonus 2 ends will be described.

As shown in FIG. 31B, the control is performed in the normal section before t2. t1
If the winning combination for winning an advantageous section is won, the normal section is shifted to the advantageous section at t2, which is the next game. Hereinafter, description of the same portions as those in FIG.

In the example of FIG. 31 (B), as in the example of FIG. 31 (A), it is assumed that bonus 2 is won during CZ2, and control is again made to CZ2 and RT0 at t7 after bonus 2 ends.

Assume that a special lip is won at t8 (16th game) before the end condition of CZ2 is satisfied (before the number of CZ games reaches 20 games). AT right is granted by special lip winning. As a result, at t9 which is the next game, the control to CZ2 is completed and the ART is being prepared. Then, after the ART is being prepared, it is controlled to ART at t10.

As shown in FIG. 30A, when the number of CZ games is exhausted in CZ2 (t6), when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set OFF by pushing order bell winning (t4)
) End the advantageous section (t6)), and as shown in FIG. 30B, when the number of CZ games is consumed in CZ2 (t4), the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF. When there is not, the advantageous section is not terminated (t4)), and as shown at t4 in FIG. 30A, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by the push order bell winning which is the notification target of the navigation information. In addition, as shown at t6 in FIG. 31 (A), the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is also set to OFF based on the fact that the bonus 2 is controlled. In this way, the advantageous section can be ended based on the fact that conditions advantageous to the player such as notification of navigation information by pushing order bell winning and control to bonus 2 are established. Thereby, the alerting | reporting of navigation information can be managed appropriately in an advantageous area.

Since the bonus 2 is a role having a setting difference, it is suggested that the more frequently the bonus 2 is controlled, the more advantageous setting values are set for the advantaged person. This allows the player to pay attention to how much the bonus 2 is controlled.

When the bonus 2 is controlled during CZ2, the advantage in the advantageous section does not become higher than before the bonus 2 is controlled by giving the right of AT. Thus, since the AT right is not granted in addition to the bonus 2 right, it is possible to prevent the player from being excessively advantageous.

As shown in FIG. 31 (A), after bonus 2 controlled during CZ2 ends (t7),
The advantageous section is continued until the number of CZ games is consumed (t8). Thereby, a player can be made to pay attention to the period until the end condition (digestion of the number of CZ games) set initially is satisfied.

As shown in FIG. 31 (B), when the right of AT is granted by special lip winning in the advantageous section (t8), it is controlled to ART (t10), and as shown in FIG. 31 (B), bonus 2 In the advantageous section (t7 to t9) after the end of, the probability that the AT right is granted by the special lip winning is higher than the advantageous section (t3 to t6) before the bonus 2 is controlled. Thereby, a player can be made to pay attention in the period after the bonus 2 is completed.

As described above, the slot machine according to the present embodiment is configured as follows.
That is, as shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, when the advantageous section transition combination is won and controlled to the advantageous section, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to ON, and as shown in FIG. C
When the number of CZ games is exhausted during Z2 (t6), if the advantageous zone navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by pushing order bell winning (t4), the advantageous zone is terminated (t6).
), As shown in FIG. 30B, when the number of CZ games is consumed in CZ2 (t4), if the advantageous zone navigation waiting flag is not set to OFF, the advantageous zone is not terminated (t4). As shown at t4 in FIG. 30 (A), in addition to the fact that the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF by the push order bell winning which is the notification target of the navigation information, t in FIG. 31 (A).
As shown in FIG. 6, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to O even when the bonus 2 is controlled.
Set to FF.

Moreover, when the bonus 2 is controlled during CZ2, the right of AT is given, etc.
The advantage in the advantageous section is not higher than before the bonus 2 is controlled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 31A, after the bonus 2 controlled during CZ2 ends (t7), the advantageous interval is continued until the number of CZ games is consumed (t8).

As shown in FIG. 31 (B), when the right of AT is granted by special replay winning in the advantageous section (t8), it is controlled to ART (t10), and as shown in FIG. 31 (B), bonus 2 In the advantageous section (t7 to t9) after the end of the game, there is a higher probability that the AT right will be granted by the special replay win than the advantageous section (t3 to t6) before the bonus 2 is controlled.

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

(1-1) As shown in FIG. 11 (a), with regard to the navigation mode of the bell navigation executed at the time of pushing order bell winning, the warning state and the navigation mode in CZ are one type (white navigation), There are two types of navigation modes in AT and specialized zones (white navigation and yellow navigation). In this way, the game can be interesting because there are a plurality of navigation modes. In addition, the number of navigation modes is reduced in advantageous sections that are not selected as an advance state or CZ, while the number of navigation modes is increased in advantageous sections such as AT and specialized zones. In addition, by changing the number of navigation mode types according to the type of advantageous section being controlled, the operation mode is uniform compared to the case where the number of navigation mode types is uniformly the same regardless of the advantageous section being controlled. The increase in data capacity can be suppressed as much as possible.

(1-2) As shown in FIG. 11A, the navigation mode (white navigation) that can be selected in the precursor state or CZ is changed to the navigation mode (white navigation, yellow navigation) that can be selected in the AT or specialized zone. included. As described above, since the navigation mode (white navigation) that can be selected in common in the precursor state, the CZ, the AT, and the specialized zone is provided, it is possible to suppress the increase in data capacity as much as possible regarding the notification of the operation mode. it can.

(1-3) In the present embodiment, the navigation mode is selected in the AT or the specialized zone depending on whether or not an extra winning is made. Thereby, the player can be expected to win an extra win by suggesting whether or not the player has won an extra win according to the navigation mode when the bell navigation is executed. For example, in the present embodiment, white navigation is selected with a probability of 100% when the extra winning is not performed during AT, and white navigation or yellow navigation is selected by lottery when the additional winning is achieved. The For this reason, when yellow navigation is selected during AT, it is possible to make the player expect more winnings than when white navigation is selected. In addition, in the special zone, when the extra winning is not selected, the white navigation is selected with a probability of 100%, and when the extra winning is selected, the yellow navigation is selected with a probability of 100%. For this reason,
When yellow navigation is selected in the specialization zone, the player can be notified of the winning combination.

(1-4) In the present embodiment, in the navigation effect using the liquid crystal display 51,
While the navigation mode changes, in the navigation notification on the game auxiliary display 12, only the numbers and alphabets are displayed and the color does not change. Thereby, the game auxiliary indicator 12
In the navigation notification in, navigation information will not be difficult to understand due to changes in navigation mode,
If the player operates the stop switch according to the navigation notification, the player can avoid operating the stop switch by an operation procedure different from the navigation information as much as possible.

(2-1) In the present embodiment, a sign state or C state where the BAR aiming effect cannot be executed.
When a BAR matching lip or BAR templip is won during Z or AT, a kill navigation to notify other than the right first stop is executed. On the other hand, when the BAR matching lip or the BAR templip is won during the specialized zone where the BAR aiming effect can be executed, the navigation for informing the first right stop is executed together with the BAR aiming effect. In addition, there are at least two types of navigation backgrounds for killing navigation (blue background, green background) when the BAR aiming lip or BAR templip is won during the aura state, CZ, or AT when the BAR aiming effect cannot be executed. It is selected from the inside. On the other hand, B
The navigation background when the BAR matching lip or BAR template is won in the special zone where the AR aiming effect can be executed is selected from four types (blue background, green background, red background, gold background). In this way, the game can be interesting because there are a plurality of types of navigation backgrounds. Further, the number of types of navigation background is reduced in the advantageous section where the BAR aiming effect cannot be executed, while the number of types of navigation background is increased in the advantageous section where the BAR aiming effect such as the specialized zone can be executed. In addition, by changing the number of navigation mode types according to the type of advantageous section being controlled, the operation mode is uniform compared to the case where the number of navigation mode types is uniformly the same regardless of the advantageous section being controlled. The increase in data capacity can be suppressed as much as possible.

(2-2) In the present embodiment, the navigation background is selected in the specialized zone according to whether or not the extra winning is made. Thereby, it is possible to make the player expect the extra winning by suggesting whether or not the extra winning is made according to the navigation background when the navigation is executed.
For example, in the present embodiment, a blue background is selected with a probability of 100% in the specialization zone when the bonus is not won, and when the bonus is won, a blue background, a green background, A navigation background is selected from the red background and the gold background. For this reason, when a blue background, a green background, a red background, or a gold background is selected in the specialized zone, it is possible to cause the player to expect an extra win more than when a white background is selected. Therefore, the player can be focused on the navigation background.

(2-3) In the present embodiment, in the game in which the push order bell is won, the bonus winning suggestion that changes the navigation background is not executed, but the BAR matching lip or the BAR temple is won. In the game, an extra winning suggestion effect that changes the navigation background is executed. The reason for this is that, as described above, in a game in which the push order bell is won, a bell winning effect using a dedicated background is executed so as to appeal that the leading role has won. This is because it is not hindered by changes in the background.
In addition, if a BAR matching lip or BAR temple is won, it will only be replayed as a profit to the player regardless of which push order is operated, but if a push order bell is won This is because the net increase cannot be increased if the stop switch is not operated in the correct answer procedure, so that the medal dropout is not hindered by the change of the navigation background. In this way, when an effect that appeals that the leading role has won is executed, or when the advantage / disadvantage changes according to the pressing order, the effect that changes the navigation background is not executed Thus, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged as much as possible without impairing the player's attention to the navigation.

(2-4) In this embodiment, both when the BAR matching lip is won and when the BAR temple is won, both are common when the stop switch is operated except for the first stop on the right. Lip 1 wins the winning role. Thereby, since the symbol combination derived when killing navigation is executed without executing the BAR aiming effect can be made common to a plurality of roles, an increase in data capacity can be suppressed as much as possible.

(2-5) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), there are three types (blue background, green background, red background) when winning the BAR template in the specialized zone. On the other hand, the background effect is selected from among the four types (blue background, green background, red background, gold background) when the BAR matching lip is selected. In this way, it is possible to appropriately set the type from which the background effect can be selected according to the winning combination. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), when the BAR matching lip is won, by providing a gold background that cannot be selected when the BAR tempo lip is won, the navigation mode varies depending on the winning combination. Can improve the interest of the game. further,
By making the navigation background a gold background, the player can recognize that the BAR is aligned. In addition, when it is configured to win on the condition that the BAR matching lip is won,
Since the navigation background becomes a gold background, the player can be expected to win the winning prize.

(2-6) In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), there is only one type (blue background) of navigational backgrounds for killing navigation executed in the warning state or CZ. Against
There are three types of navigation backgrounds (blue background, green background, and red background) or four types (blue background, green background, red background, and gold background) that are executed in the specialized zone together with the BAR aiming effect. . In this way, it is possible to appropriately set the type in which the background effect can be selected in accordance with the situation (state) in which the BAR matching lip or the BAR template is won. In addition, FIG.
As shown in d), in the special zone where there is a possibility of winning extra, by providing more navigation backgrounds than the sign state where no extra winning is given or CZ, if the navigation background becomes other than the blue background, the extra winning The player can also be expected.

(2-7) In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d), there is only one type (blue background) of navigator navigation for killing navigation executed in the warning state or CZ. Against
There are two types of navigation backgrounds (blue background and green background) of killing navigation executed in AT. In this way, it is possible to appropriately set the type in which the background effect can be selected in accordance with the situation (state) in which the BAR matching lip or the BAR template is won. In addition, FIG.
, (D) As shown in (d), in ATs that may win extra, by providing more navigation backgrounds than the sign state that won no extra wins or CZ, if the navigation background becomes other than the blue background, extra wins The player can also be expected.

(3-1) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), when the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on by winning the advantageous cherry role at t1, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on. The lighting period of the section lamp 19 and the continuous performance execution period overlap, but t2
Then, the advantageous section lamp 19 is extinguished at t5 after the continuous performance ends. That is, if the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 overlaps with the execution period of the continuous effect, the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off during the period in which the continuous effect is executed unless the bonus is won. In addition, when a bonus is won by winning the advantageous cherry role at t3 during the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 and the execution period of the continuous production overlap, but t4 The advantageous section lamp 19 at t5 after the continuous production is finished and the bonus is controlled.
Goes off. That is, when the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 overlaps with the execution period of the continuous effect, if the bonus is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off until the continuous effect ends together with the inside. Thereby, since the advantageous section lamp 19 is not turned off at least until the continuous performance ends, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for being controlled by CZ or AT after the precursor state as much as possible.

(3-2) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when an advantageous cherry combination is won, a bonus is won together with an advantageous interval. For this reason, when an advantageous cherry combination is won, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned on and a continuous effect is executed. As a result, when the winning cherry role is won and the cherry symbol is derived, the player can expect control over CZ and AT, and can also expect control over bonus. In particular, in the present embodiment, when the advantageous cherry combination is won, a continuous effect is executed, so that the player can expect control over CZ and AT and control over bonus.

(3-3) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), when the advantageous section lamp 19 is elected at t3 in the period when the advantageous section lamp 19 is already lit, the advantageous section lamp 19 is Continuous production is executed while the lamp is lit. Thus, the advantageous section lamp 19 has already been obtained.
Even when the continuous production starts during the period when is turned on, the advantageous section lamp 19 is not extinguished until the continuous production ends, so that the player's expectation can be maintained as much as possible.

(3-4) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25B, when the continuous effect does not fit in the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 determined in advance, the continuous effect period falls. The lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 is extended by extending the advantageous section. This
Even if the continuous effect does not fit in the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 is extended so that the continuous effect period can be accommodated, thereby executing the continuous effect within the lighting period. A period can be secured.

(3-5) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25C, when the continuous effect does not fall within the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 determined in advance, the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19 is set. The period of continuous production is shortened so that it can be accommodated. As a result, even if the continuous effect does not fit in the predetermined lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, the continuous effect period is shortened so as to be within the lighting period of the advantageous section lamp 19, so that it continues within the lighting period. The production can be ended.

(4-1) As shown in FIG. 20, when the next main state is the specialized zone, S135
Is set to wait for return = RT4 transition lip display wait. In this situation, AR
When the uphill lip is won at RT3 during T, the navigation information for winning the RT4 transition lip is notified by the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 24, when the RT4 transition lip is displayed according to the navigation information (
YES in S227), return waiting information = 0 (S230). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, when the RT1 transition lip is displayed instead of the RT4 transition lip due to not following the navigation information (S
NO in 195), return waiting information = 0 (S199). As described above, when the upturn lip is won during ART, return waiting information = 0 regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, and the return is performed as shown in FIG. Waiting information =
When it becomes 0 (YES in S41), the subtraction of the number of games in the specialized zone starts (S43). On the other hand, when 7 rips are won at RT3 during ART, navigation information for winning Lip 1 is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91, but the stop switches 8L and 8C are in accordance with the navigation information. , 8R does not start, the subtraction of the number of games in the specialized zone does not start.

The flow of the game according to the above-described process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
It is a figure for demonstrating the flow of the game in special zone preparation. As shown in FIG. 28A, a special zone lottery is performed when 7 lips are won during ART (AT + RT3). When the special zone lottery is won, a navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91 is performed. At this time,
The navigation information prompting the middle stop corresponding to 7 lips is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, navigation notification by the main control unit 41 using the game auxiliary display 12 is not performed.

As shown in FIG. 28B, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, 7 lips are displayed. Thus, the player is notified that the special zone has been won. As shown in FIG. 28 (C), when the next game is entered, the process proceeds to the special zone preparation while maintaining RT3.

Here, first, the case where the upturn lip is won in the game after the example shown in FIG. 28C will be described. As shown in FIG. 28 (D1), when the upturn lip is won, the navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91 is performed and the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 is performed. In this example, the navigation information that prompts the middle first stop is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the navigation information (2F) that prompts the middle first stop is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 in seven segments.

When the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated according to the navigation information after the example shown in FIG. 28 (D1), as shown in FIG. 28 (E1a), a freeze is performed and a start effect is performed. In this example, a character image suggesting that the specialized zone is started by the start effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, in the upper right of the liquid crystal display 51, there is an advantageous residual G of the special zone.
The number (30G remaining in this example) is also displayed. Stop switch 8L, 8C according to the navigation information
, 8R are operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (F1a), the gaming state is controlled to RT4 from the next game by displaying the RT4 transition lip. On the liquid crystal display 51, a character image indicating that it is in the special zone is displayed, and the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is subtracted (29G in this example). That is, subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the specialization zone starts.

After the example shown in FIG. 28 (D1), the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are not followed according to the navigation information.
Is operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (E1b), the stop switch 8 is operated according to the navigation information.
In the same manner as when L, 8C, and 8R are operated, freezing is performed and a start effect is performed. In this example, a character image suggesting that the specialized zone is started by the start effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In the upper right of the liquid crystal display 51, there is an advantageous remaining G number (
In this example, the remaining 30G) is also displayed. Stop switch 8L, 8C, without following the navigation information
Since 8R is operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (F1b), the gaming state is controlled to RT1 from the next game by displaying the RT1 transition lip. On the liquid crystal display 51, a character image indicating that it is in the special zone is displayed, and the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone is subtracted (29G in this example). That is, subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the specialization zone starts.

Next, the case where 7 lips are won in the game after the example shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 28 (D2), when 7 lips are won, a navigation effect is performed by the sub-control unit 91. At this time, the navigation information that prompts the first left stop corresponding to Lip 1 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.
Is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 28 (A), the navigation information prompting the middle stop corresponding to 7 lips is notified to indicate that the special zone is won, but in the example shown in FIG. 28 (D2), Since there is no need to display 7 lips without meaning because the special zone has already been won, navigation information that prompts the first left stop corresponding to lip 1 is notified. On the other hand, game auxiliary display 1
Navigation notification by the main control unit 41 using 2 is not performed.

After the example shown in FIG. 28 (D2), when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, as shown in FIG. 28 (E2a), the freeze zone and the start effect are not performed, and the specialized zone Being prepared is maintained. Further, the liquid crystal display 51 does not display the advantageous remaining G number of the specialized zone. As shown in FIG. 28 (F2a), even when the game is shifted to the next game, the gaming state remains maintained at RT3 and the special zone is still being prepared. That means
The subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the specialization zone is not started.

After the example shown in FIG. 28 (D2), the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are not followed according to the navigation information.
Is operated, as shown in FIG. 28 (E2b), the stop switch 8 is operated according to the navigation information.
As in the case where L, 8C, and 8R are operated, the special zone preparation is maintained without any freeze or start effect. Further, the liquid crystal display 51 does not display the advantageous remaining G number of the specialized zone. As shown in FIG. 28 (F2b), even if the next game is entered, the gaming state is R
T3 remains maintained and the specialization zone is being prepared. That is, the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the specialization zone is not started.

As in the example described above, during the special zone preparation, when the uplift lip that is the target of the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 is won, the stop switches 8L and 8L according to the navigation information.
Regardless of whether or not C and 8R are operated, the process shifts to the special zone and starts subtracting the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone. On the other hand, during special zone preparation, when 7 lips that are not the subject of navigation notification by the main control unit 41 are won, stop switches 8L and 8C according to the navigation information.
, 8R is not shifted to the specialized zone regardless of whether or not it is operated, and the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the specialized zone is not started.

Here, in order to start the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number of the special zone in S43 of FIG. 13, it is a condition that the return waiting information = 0 and the main state = the special zone is not being prepared. In order for return wait information = 0, return wait information = 0 must be set in S199 of FIG. 23, but as a condition, NO in S191. However, since navigation notification is not performed when 7 lips are won, YES is determined in S191. For this reason, when winning 7 lips, return waiting information = 0 does not occur. Further, in order to prevent the main state from being prepared for the special zone, the special zone must be set from the special zone preparation in the next main state setting in S76 of FIG. I have to become. However, in order to turn the navigation ignore flag = ON in S198 of FIG. 23, it is still necessary to NO in S191, and when 7 replies are won, navigation notification is not performed, so YES is determined in S191. For this reason, when winning 7 lips, the navigation ignore flag is not turned ON. Further, in order to prevent the main state from being prepared for the special zone, the special zone must be set from the special zone preparation by the next main state setting in S76 of FIG. Transition lip must be displayed. However, when the 7th lip is won, neither the RT3 transition lip nor the RT4 transition lip is displayed, so the next main state is not the specialized zone.

As described above, in a situation where navigation information is notified by both the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub control unit 91, the game in the specialized zone regardless of whether or not the navigation information is followed. Since the subtraction of the number starts, when navigation information is notified by either navigation notification or navigation effect, it is not necessary to follow the navigation information, so that the transition to RT4 that is a specialized zone is avoided. However, it is possible to prevent a player from trying to increase the net increase by extending the period of transition from ART to the specialized zone. On the other hand, in a situation where the navigation information is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91, there is no risk of shifting to RT4 which is a specialized zone. By not starting the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone regardless of whether or not
It is possible to prevent the player from being dissatisfied as much as possible.

It is not limited to the case where the next main state is the specialized zone. For example, if the next main state is ART, return waiting information = RT3 transition lip display waiting is set in S133.
In such a situation, if you win the rush lip in RT2 that is preparing for ART,
The navigation information for winning the RT3 transition lip is notified by the navigation notification by the main control unit 41 and the navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91. As shown in FIG. 24, when the RT3 transition lip is displayed according to the navigation information (YES in S225), the return waiting information = 0 (S2).
30). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, when RT1 transition lip instead of RT3 transition lip is displayed because the navigation information is not followed (NO in S193), return waiting information = 0 (S199).
). Thus, when the entry lip is won during ART, return waiting information = 0 regardless of whether the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information, and as shown in FIG. When information = 0 (YES in S41), subtraction of the number of ART games starts (S43).

(4-2) When the uplifting lip is won at RT3 which is in the ART, when the navigation information is followed, the RT4 transition lip is won and the gaming state is shifted to RT4, whereas the navigation information is followed. If not, the RT1 transition lip is won and the gaming state transitions to RT1. Thus, when the navigation information is notified by either the navigation notification or the navigation effect, the navigation state is intentionally not followed, so that the transition to the RT1 that is the specialized zone is avoided and the gaming state is shifted to the RT1. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a player from trying to increase the net increase by extending the period for shifting from the ART to the specialized zone as much as possible.

(4-3) Return waiting information = In a situation where waiting for special figure display is set, if the push order bell is won during ART, the navigation information for winning the leading bell is the navigation by the main control unit 41. The notification and the navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91 are notified. As shown in FIG. 23, when the bell is displayed according to the navigation information when winning the push order bell (
If YES in S197, the process of S199 is skipped and the return wait information = 0 is not set, and if a special figure is displayed without following the navigation information (NO in S197), the return wait information = 0 (S19).
9). Further, as shown in FIG. 23, when the RT1 falling lip is won and Lip 1 or Lip 2 is displayed according to the navigation information (YES in S194), the process of S199 is skipped and the return waiting information = 0. If the RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation information (S1
94, NO), return waiting information = 0 (S199). As shown in FIG. 13, when return waiting information = 0 (NO in S41), subtraction of the number of games in the specialized zone starts (S43).
In this way, the push order bell or RT1 that does not trigger the start of the specialized zone during ART
Even when winning the transition fall lip, stop switches 8L, 8 are not followed according to the navigation information.
Since the subtraction of the number of games in the special zone starts when C and 8R are operated, the player is prompted to follow the navigation information when the navigation information is notified by both the navigation notification and the navigation effect. Can do.

(4-4) As shown in FIG. 10, when winning 7 lips, navigation information for winning Lip 1 is notified when the special zone is not won, whereas in the special zone When winning, navigation information for winning 7 lips is informed. If 7 lips wins, a special zone win is suggested to the player. In this way, 7 lips are used to suggest winning of the specialized zone, so that the interest of the game can be improved using 7 lips.

(4-5) During ART, regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified when the upturn lip is won, the special zone is prepared and the special zone is changed. When transitioning, the start effect is executed in a common manner. Thereby, the player is not dissatisfied because the start effect differs depending on whether or not the navigation effect is followed.

(4-6) During ART, regardless of whether or not the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified when the upturn lip is won, the special zone is being prepared and the special zone is being changed. When migrating, freezing occurs in a common manner. As a result, the player will not be dissatisfied because the freeze is different depending on whether or not the navigation effect is followed.

(4-7) When the upturn lip is won, whether the gaming state is promoted to RT4 or falls to RT1 changes according to the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. On the other hand, when 7 lips are won, the gaming state does not change regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In this way, in the case of winning 7 lips where the degree of advantage for the player does not change regardless of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the navigation information is notified only by the navigation effect by the sub-control unit 91, and The subtraction of the number of games in the specialized zone can be prevented from starting regardless of whether or not the navigation information is followed.

(5-1) As shown in FIG. 8, the weak cherry that is a common display result is obtained when the winning and weak cherry that is an advantageous section transition combination is won and when the weak cherry that is not the advantageous section transition combination is won. Can be displayed. In RT1, both an advantageous weak cherry and a weak cherry can be won, whereas in RT0, an advantageous weak cherry can be won while a weak cherry cannot be won. Thereby, when a weak cherry is displayed at RT0, winning of an advantageous weak cherry is confirmed, and the transition to the advantageous section is confirmed, so that the interest of the game can be improved with respect to the transition of the advantageous section.

(5-2) As shown in FIG. 7, in RT0 which shifts after the bonus is over, it continues until a special figure is displayed at the time of winning the push order bell. As shown in FIG. 8, at RT0, a special lip not won at RT1 is won. Since the special lip is a lottery trigger for the lottery related to the instruction function, for example, when the special lip is won in CZ during RT0, the right of AT is given with a probability of 100%. Thereby, in RT0 which transfers after completion | finish of a bonus, a player can be made to pay attention to whether RT0 can be continued without displaying a special figure.

(5-3) If the winning cherry is won at RT0, the AT addition is confirmed. For this reason, even if it is RT0 which is a game state after a bonus is complete | finished, it can prevent as much as possible giving a player the regret for the completion of a bonus.

(5-4) At RT0 after the bonus ends, the bonus section is initially controlled to the advantageous section, but after that, when the advantageous section ends, the normal section is controlled. Even in this case, if winning and cherries are won in the normal section, the transition to the advantageous section is confirmed, so that it is possible to prevent the player from feeling sorry for being controlled in the normal section as much as possible. Can do.

(6-1) As shown in FIG. 18, in the advantageous section winning time process, in S101, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to ON, and then, as shown in FIG. YES in S54), and in S54, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF. As described above, the processing when the advantageous section navigation waiting flag related to navigation is shifted to the advantageous section is O.
When the push order bell that is set to N and waits for navigation is selected, the advantageous section navigation waiting flag is set to OFF to indicate that navigation has been performed. It can be carried out.

(6-2) As shown in FIG. 12, a flag is set in the lottery type 1 bit regardless of which of the advantage weak cherry and the advantage strong cherry that are advantageous zone transition combinations. Then, based on the flag set in the lottery type 1, the presence / absence of an advantageous section transition winning is determined. Specifically, if any bit is set in the data included in the lottery type 1, it is determined that the winning combination is uniformly won, and further, it is decided to move to the advantageous section uniformly. Is done. As described above, the flag for storing the winning result in the internal lottery and the flag used for the advantageous section shift lottery are shared, and only by referring to one data included in the lottery type 1 is the advantageous section transition combination. It is possible to decide whether or not to win and whether or not to shift to an advantageous section. Thus, for example, when the internal lottery is individually determined for each role using the individually assigned winning numbers in the internal lottery, and further, whether or not the advantageous section shift lottery is individually specified. In comparison, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of data, and navigation information notification management can be suitably performed.

(6-3) As an advantageous section that is more advantageous than the normal section, a sign that suggests whether the advantageous section continues as it is controlled by CZ1 or CZ2, or whether it shifts to the normal section without being controlled by CZ1 or CZ2. A state is provided. As a result, it is possible to indicate to the player whether the advantageous section continues or shifts to the normal section in a precursor state that is more advantageous than the normal section, so that the advantageous section continues to the player in an advantageous state. Can be expected.

(6-4) As shown in FIG. 18, in the advantageous section winning process, the advantageous section flag is set to ON in S101. In this way, whether or not the vehicle is in the advantageous zone can be suitably managed by setting the flag in the advantageous zone.

(6-5) As shown in FIG. 17, in the game end process, when the advantageous section flag is set (YES in S84), the advantageous section lamp 19 is lit in S85. Thereby, if it is an advantageous area when a game is complete | finished, the advantageous area lamp 19 can be lighted reliably.

(7-1) As shown in FIG. 12, in the common start process, the number of advantageous sections G is 150.
When the game reaches 0 (YES in S12), the advantageous section end flag is set to ON in S13. Further, as shown in FIG. 22, in the advantageous section end determination process, when the advantageous remaining G number reaches 0 (YES in S171), the advantageous section end flag is set to ON in S173. Thus, the timing of the end of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games is different from the timing of the end of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous remaining G reaches 0. The end process can be made more reliable, and the advantageous section can be suitably ended.

(7-2) As shown in FIG. 12, in the common start process, regardless of whether or not the navigation information is notified, the advantageous section end flag is set to ON in S13. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22, in the advantageous section end determination process, navigation is performed and the advantageous section navigation waiting flag =
When it is OFF (YES in S172), the advantageous section end flag = ON in S173
Set to In this way, in the advantageous section end determination process, even if the advantageous remaining G number reaches zero, the advantageous section end flag is not set to ON when navigation is not being performed. There is no processing to finish.

(7-3) As shown in FIG. 22, in the advantageous section end determination process, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section end flag is set to ON by determining whether or not the advantageous remaining G number has reached 0 in S171. Determine whether. Further, in this process, it is determined whether or not the advantageous section end flag is set to ON by determining whether or not all the advantageous remaining G numbers such as the precursor state, CZ, AT, and specialized zone have reached 0. judge. As a result, it is possible to distinguish the termination process from the termination process of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, so that the slot machine can be easily designed.

(7-4) In the game end process of FIG. 17, regardless of whether the advantageous section end determination process = ON is set in either the common start process shown in FIG. 12 or the advantageous section end determination process shown in FIG. When it is determined that the advantageous section end determination process is ON (YES in S82),
In S83, all the work pieces are cleared, and the advantageous section flag = OFF is set. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off in S86. In this way, after all the work pieces are cleared and the advantageous section flag is set to OFF, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off. can do.

(7-5) The advantageous section end determination process shown in FIG. 22 is included in the normal section return processing shown in FIG. 21, and this normal section return processing is executed in any main state in the advantageous section. Is done. As a result, in a plurality of main states, the processing related to the end of the advantageous section using the advantageous remaining G number can be made common, so that the processing burden related to the end of the advantageous section can be reduced.

(7-6) The common start process shown in FIG. 12 is executed in any main state in the advantageous section. As a result, in a plurality of main states, the processing related to the end of the advantageous section using the number of advantageous sections G can be made common, so that the processing burden related to the end of the advantageous section can be reduced.

(8-1) As shown in FIG. 19, the return main state after the bonus ends is set according to the main state at the time of winning the bonus. During the bonus, a lottery related to the instruction function is performed according to the return main state. As described above, when a bonus is won, settings relating to the lottery in the bonus can be performed, and the lottery process in the bonus can be suitably executed. Thereby, it is possible to suitably execute the process when the bonus is won.

(8-2) As shown in FIG. 19, when the main state is a normal section or a precursor state, the return destination main state is set to CZ1, and when the main state is CZ1 or CZ2, the return destination main state is set during ART preparation. Is done. Thus, even if the main state when the bonus is won is different, the common return destination main state is set, so that the processing burden related to the setting of the return destination main state can be reduced.

(9-1) As shown in FIG. 20, in the bonus start common processing, return waiting information is set according to the next main state. The return waiting information is symbol combination information that triggers the start of the state set in the next main state. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the return wait information is not 0 (NO in S41), the process of S43 is skipped and the advantageous remaining G number is not subtracted. Thus, after the bonus is over, as long as the return waiting information set at the start of the bonus is set, the advantageous remaining G number in the next main state is not subtracted.
It is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being reduced as much as possible with respect to the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number after the bonus ends. And the process regarding the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number after the end of the bonus can be suitably executed.

(9-2) In the process of S43 shown in FIG. 13, the advantageous remaining G number of CZ and the advantageous remaining G number of AT,
Alternatively, the advantageous remaining G number in the specialized zone is subtracted. However, after the bonus ends, as long as the return waiting information set at the start of the bonus is set, these advantageous remaining G numbers are not subtracted. Thereby, it can prevent as much as possible that the interest of a game will fall regarding the subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number after the end of a bonus.

(9-3) As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 20, when the next main state = CZ1, a special figure, which is a display result for the gaming state to transition to RT1, is set as return waiting information.
When the next main state = specialized zone, RT4 transition lip, which is a display result for transitioning the gaming state to RT4, is set as return waiting information. In this way, different return waiting information is set according to the type of the main state next time, so that the advantageous residual G after the bonus ends
The processing related to the subtraction of numbers can be suitably executed.

(9-4) As shown in FIG. 24, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated according to the navigation information notified by the navigation notification of the main control unit 41, the return waiting information is set to 0 in S230. The On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated without following the navigation information notified by the navigation notification of the main control unit 41, the return waiting information is set to 0 in S199. Is done. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the return waiting information = 0 (YES in S41), subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number starts (S43). In this way, subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number starts not only when the navigation information is followed, but also when the navigation information is not followed, so that it is controlled to be in an advantageous state by not following the navigation information. By extending the period, it is possible to prevent a player from trying to increase the number of net increase.

(9-5) The common start process shown in FIG.
Every game is executed. In this common start process, the advantageous section G number counter is incremented by 1 in S11. Thereby, it can prevent as much as possible that the gambling nature of the game in a bonus is raised too much.

(10-1) As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of types of RT states having different replay winning probabilities are provided, and in any RT state, control can be performed in an advantageous section. The common start process shown in FIG. 12 is executed every game in any RT state, and S11
Then, the advantageous section G number counter is incremented by one. Further, the start process of each main state shown in FIG. 13 is executed every game in any RT state, and when the return waiting state = 0 (
In S41, YES, the advantageous remaining G counter is decremented by 1 in S43. As described above, in any RT state, the advantageous section G number counter is updated in the advantageous section, so that it is possible to prevent the gambling of the game in the advantageous section from being excessively increased as much as possible. Further, in any RT state, the advantageous remaining G number counter is updated in the advantageous section, so that it is possible to prevent the gambling of the game in the advantageous section from being excessively increased as much as possible. In this way, by improving the end of the advantageous section, it is possible to prevent as much as possible from excessively increasing the gambling of the game in the advantageous section.

(10-2) As shown in FIG. 7, in RT3 which is an advantageous RT, when the RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation at the time of an uplifting lip, the transition is made to RT1 which is a disadvantageous RT. Thereby, a benefit can be given to the player who operated the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the navigation.

(10-3) As shown in FIG. 24, the return wait information is set to any one of special drawing display wait, RT3 transition lip display wait, and RT4 transition lip display wait, and when these display results are not derived, S230 Since the process is skipped, return waiting information = 0 is not set. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, as long as the return wait information = 0, the process of S43 is skipped and the advantageous remaining G number is not subtracted. When the special chart, RT3 transition lip, and RT4 transition lip set as the return waiting information are displayed, they are promoted from RT0 to another RT state. In other words, at RT0 after the bonus ends, the advantageous remaining G number is not subtracted and the RT
Subtraction of the advantageous remaining G number starts after promotion from 0 to another RT state. In this way, unlike RT1, which is controlled by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R without following the navigation as in RT0, in RT0 that is always controlled after the bonus ends, the advantageous remaining G number Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged excessively.

(10-4) A plurality of types of advantageous sections are provided such as a precursor state, CZ, AT, and specialized zone. Regardless of which advantageous section is controlled, if a special drawing or RT1 transition lip is displayed without following the navigation in RT3 or RT4, the gaming state transitions to RT1. Thereby, the process regarding the transition of the gaming state can be simplified as much as possible.

(11-1) As shown in FIG. 26 (a), when the bonus is not in effect, the advantageous section G
Result notification and freeze are performed at t0 when the number reaches 1500 games. On the other hand, FIG.
As shown in b), the result notification and freeze are not performed at t2 when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games in the bonus, and then the result notification and freeze are performed at t3 when the bonus ends. In the result notification performed at t0 shown in FIG. 26A, FIG.
As shown, the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section and the number of digest games during the advantageous section are notified. On the other hand, in the result notification performed at t3 shown in FIG. 26B, as shown in FIG. 27B, the number of medals paid out only during the bonus is added to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section. The combined value is notified by the result notification. Thus, not only when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games when the bonus is not in effect, but also when the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the result notification can be appropriately performed. . As described above, the result notification can be appropriately performed by improving the processing when the advantageous section ends.

(11-2) As shown in FIG. 26B, the number of advantageous sections G is 150 in the bonus.
The result notification and freeze are not performed at t2 when the game reaches 0 game, and then the result notification and freeze are performed at t3 when the bonus ends. In this way, not only when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games when the bonus is not in effect, but also when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the result is notified when the bonus ends. Can be performed appropriately.

(11-3) As shown in FIG. 26, freezing is performed together with result notification. This makes it easier for the player to recognize that the number of advantageous sections G has reached 1500 games.

(11-4) As shown in FIG. 27B, the number of advantageous sections G is 150 in the bonus.
When the game reaches 0 game, a total value obtained by adding the number of medals paid out only during the bonus to the number of medals paid out during the advantageous section is notified by the result notification. Thereby, it is possible to make the player know the pure medal number paid out during the advantageous section and during the bonus.

(11-5) As shown in FIG. 26B, the number of digest games is not notified in the result notification. Thus, for example, by displaying the total number of games (1520G) controlled in either the advantageous section or the bonus, it is indicated to the player that the advantageous section has been controlled over the number of games exceeding 1500 games. There is no misunderstanding.

(11-6) As shown in FIG. 26 (b), the advantageous section G number is 150 in the bonus.
When 0 game is reached, the advantageous section lamp 19 is turned off at that time, while the bonus lamp 60 is kept on. Accordingly, the player can recognize that the bonus is being performed by turning on the bonus lamp 60, while being able to recognize that the advantageous section has ended by turning on the advantageous section lamp 19.

(12-1) As shown in FIG. 14, at RT0 after the bonus ends, when the right of CZ is granted, navigation is performed at the time of winning the first push order bell, whereas the right of AT is granted If it is, navigation will not be performed at the time of winning the first push order bell. Thus, RT
The control related to the notification of the navigation information when the CZ right is granted at 0 is different from the control related to the notification of the navigation information when the AT right is granted at RT0. This makes it possible to design various games according to the types of advantageous sections by changing the control related to the notification of navigation information according to the types of advantageous sections to which the right is granted, and manage the notification of navigation information. Can be suitably performed.

(12-2) As shown in FIG. 14, at RT0 after the bonus ends, when CZ rights are granted, navigation is performed at the time of winning the first push order bell, whereas AT rights are granted If it is, navigation will not be performed at the time of winning the first push order bell. Thus, since the presence or absence of the notification of the navigation information differs depending on the type of the advantageous section to which the right is granted, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the navigation information is notified.

(12-3) When the AT right is granted, the game state is changed from RT0 to RT1 when a special figure is displayed without displaying the leading role because no navigation is performed at the time of winning the first push order bell. Transition. As a result, when the AT right is granted, the promotion from RT0 is prioritized first, so that it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged as much as possible.

(12-4) As shown in FIG. 14, in gaming states other than RT0, CZ and AT
No matter which of these rights is granted, navigation is performed at the time of the first push order bell winning. Thereby, in the gaming state other than RT0, since the presence or absence of the notification of the navigation information does not differ depending on the type of the advantageous section to which the right is granted, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged as much as possible. .

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

[Specific status]
In the present embodiment, the AT and the specialized zone are applied as an “advantageous state” that is more advantageous than the normal section, and the precursor state is designated as the “specific state” that can be controlled before being controlled by the AT or the specialized zone. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after all the AT games and specialized zone games have been consumed, A
The pull back period during which the T lottery can be performed may be applied to the “specific state”. And there may be more types of navigation modes in ATs and specialized zones than types of navigation modes in such a pullback period. In addition, the predetermine state or the preparation state that is determined to be controlled from the CZ to the AT (for example, the state in which the number of AT games is assigned) and waiting to be controlled by the ART by the promotion of RT is referred to as the “specific state”. May be applied. And there may be more types of navigation modes in AT and specialized zones than types of navigation modes in such a prepared state.

[About navigation mode]
In the present embodiment, there are at most two navigation modes, white navigation and yellow navigation, but this is not a limitation. For example, you may provide three or more types of navigation modes, such as adding red navigation in addition to white navigation and yellow navigation. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a common navigation mode (white navigation) is provided between the precursor state, CZ, AT, and specialized zone, but a common navigation mode is not provided in both. May be. In any case, rather than the precursor state or CZ,
ATs and specialized zones need only have more types of navigation.

[About navigation]
In this embodiment, when winning a BAR matching lip or a BAR tempo lip in the special zone, the first right stop is notified by the navigation regardless of whether or not it is an extra winning. Absent. For example, if you win a BAR-matched lip or a BAR temple in the special zone, the right first stop will be notified by the navigation when you are on the top and the right first stop will be notified by the killing navigation if you are not on the top May be. In this case, when the first stop on the right is notified, the extra winning is confirmed.

[About symbol combinations]
In the present embodiment, the symbol combinations derived when killing navigation is executed may be different depending on whether the winning BAR matching lip is won or winning the BAR template.

[Regarding the update of advantageous remaining G number]
In the present embodiment, both the advantageous interval G number counter and the advantageous remaining G number counter are updated in the advantageous interval in any RT state. But,
Not limited to this, with respect to the advantageous remaining G counter, the RT state to be updated and the RT not to be updated
A state may be provided. Specifically, the advantageous remaining G number counter is not updated in the disadvantaged RT state where the replay winning probability is low, while the advantageous remaining G number counter is updated in the advantageous RT state where the replay winning probability is higher than the disadvantaged RT state. May be.

In this way, in any RT state, the advantageous interval G counter is updated in the advantageous interval, and further, in the advantageous RT state where the replay winning probability is high, the advantageous remaining G
Since the number counter is updated, it is possible to prevent the gambling of the game in the advantageous section from being excessively increased as much as possible, while the advantageous remaining G number counter is updated in the disadvantaged RT state where the replay winning probability is low. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged excessively.

[About result notification]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26B, the advantageous section G is included in the bonus.
At t2 when the number reaches 1500 games, the result notification and freeze are not performed, and then the result notification and freeze are performed at t3 when the bonus ends. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the timing when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games during the bonus (FIG. 2).
In the example shown in 6 (b), the result notification and freeze may be performed at t2).

In this way, not only when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games when the bonus is not in effect, but also when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the result notification is made during the bonus. Can be done appropriately.

Also, when the result notification and freeze are performed at the timing when the advantageous section G number reaches 1500 games during the bonus, the background effect is performed with the advantageous background and the result notification is performed until the result notification is performed. In the subsequent period, the background effect may be performed with the normal background.

In this way, in the period after the number of advantageous sections G reaches 1500 games, the player will not misunderstand that it is still controlled to the advantageous section.

[About game state transition]
In the present embodiment, when the upturn lip is won at RT3, the RT1 transition lip is won and R is selected when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information.
The gaming state fell at T1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the uplifting lip is won at RT3, the lip 1 is won and the gaming state is maintained at RT3 when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information. It may be.

In this embodiment, when the entry lip is won at RT2, the RT1 transition lip is won and R is received when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information.
The gaming state fell at T1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the entry lip is won at RT2, the lip 1 is won and the gaming state is maintained at RT2 when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated without following the navigation information. There may be.

[Return destination main status settings]
In the present embodiment, the return destination main state after the bonus ends is set according to the main state at the time of winning the bonus, but this is not restrictive. For example, the return main state after the bonus may be set according to the RT state at the time of winning the bonus. During the bonus, a lottery related to the instruction function may be performed according to the type of the return destination main state set according to the RT state.

[About navigation processing]
In this embodiment, in RT0 after the bonus ends, if CZ right is granted, navigation is performed at the time of the first push order bell winning, whereas AT right is granted Navigation was not performed when the first push order bell was won. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In RT0, the navigation is performed at the time of the first push order bell winning whether the CZ right is granted or the AT right is given. In some cases, navigation is performed when the right of CZ is granted, whereas navigation is not performed until the special figure is displayed when the right of AT is granted.

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

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, when the push order bell is won, regardless of whether or not a special figure is displayed, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the right of AT is granted at RT0, the advantageous section navigation wait flag may be set to OFF on the condition that the push-bell wins and the leading role is displayed. In addition, if the right of AT is granted at RT0, even if the push order bell is won and the leading role is displayed, the advantageous section navigation wait flag = O until the special figure is displayed.
It may remain set to FF. Then, on the condition that the special figure is displayed, the advantageous section navigation wait flag may be set to OFF.

[About state after bonus]
In the present embodiment, RT0 after the bonus ends is always controlled to the advantageous section. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and RT0 after the bonus ends may be controlled to the normal section. For example, in the process of FIG. 19, when the main state at the time of winning the bonus is the normal section, the return main state may be set to the normal section. In this case, an AT transition combination that grants the right to transition directly from the normal section to the AT without passing through the CZ may be provided as an opportunity section transition trigger. Then, as described above, when a special lip that can be won only at RT0 is won, a lottery related to the instruction function may be performed to grant AT rights. In this way, if the right to CZ is granted at RT0 after the bonus ends and the player moves to CZ from the normal section, the player must win the AT at RT0 before moving to RT1 by displaying a special figure. Expect. On the other hand, if the AT right is granted by winning the AT transition role at RT0 after the bonus ends and the player moves from the normal section to the AT,
We expect to quickly get out of RT0 with a low replay probability and be controlled by ART.

Therefore, in this modified example, in the case of an advantageous section to which the right of CZ is granted at RT0, navigation information is notified at the time of pushing order bell winning so that the display of the special figure is avoided and the gaming state is maintained at RT0. On the other hand, if it is an advantageous section to which the AT right is granted at RT0, the special state is displayed by not displaying the navigation information at the time of winning the push order bell, and the gaming state is set to RT0.
You may migrate from In this way, when the CZ right is granted at RT0, the player can expect to win the special lip by maintaining RT0. On the other hand, when the AT right is granted at RT0, the player can expect to be controlled by ART by shifting the gaming state from RT0 to RT3.

[About CZ and bonus]
In the present embodiment, when winning the transition to the advantageous section, the advantageous section allocation lottery determines only the precursor state, CZ1 transition after the precursor state, and CZ2 transition after the precursor state. However, it may be determined to be either CZ1 transition or CZ2 transition without shifting to the precursor state.

The main control unit 41 determines the number of games such as the number of CZ games by lottery (S103). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a fixed number of games may be given.
For example, when it is decided to shift to CZ, 20 games may always be given as the number of CZ games.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the special lip can be won only at RT0. But,
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to win a special lip at all RTs, and at RT0, the probability of winning a special lip may be higher than other RTs. In this way, the player can expect to win a special lip at RT0 after the bonus ends.

In addition, the winning probability of the special lip is set high (for example, 1/5), but not limited to this, the player can expect to win the special lip at RT0 after the bonus ends. Any value can be used. Further, when a special lip is won at RT0, the process may be shifted directly to RT3 (ART).

In the case of RT0 after the bonus, the main control unit 41 notifies the navigation information when the first push order bell is won when the CZ right is granted. However, not limited to this,
In the case of RT0 after the bonus, during CZ, the navigation information may be always notified when the pushing order bell is won. In this way, the navigation information is always notified during CZ during the push order bell win, so that the display of the special figure can be avoided, and the gaming state can be maintained at RT0 during CZ. Thereby, the player can expect that the right of AT is granted by the special lip winning.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 31A, when bonus 2 is won during CZ2, the advantageous section navigation wait flag is set to OFF in the game won in bonus 2, and after being controlled to CZ2 again, When the number of games reaches the number of CZ games (20 games) (
The control of CZ2 is terminated when the termination condition of CZ2 is satisfied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be as follows. For example, the CZ end condition is not limited to reaching the number of CZ games, but may be either when the push order is won or when the bonus ends. In this way, if the bonus is not won during the CZ, the CZ ends in the game in which the pushing order bell is won during the CZ. If a bonus is won during the CZ, the CZ ends in the bonus end game.

Note that various configurations, various processes, timings of various processes, and the like in the above-described embodiments and modifications may be combined as appropriate.

The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
