Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a plurality of reels having a plurality of symbols drawn on the peripheral surface, and a display window for displaying a part of the symbols drawn on the peripheral surfaces of the plurality of reels, the game value such as a medal by the player A gaming machine (a so-called “pachi-slot”) in which symbols are stopped and displayed on the display window by rotating all reels based on the loading operation and starting operation on the start lever, and stopping each reel based on the stop button operation by the player. )It has been known. Such a gaming machine is a player when a predetermined combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on a predetermined line (hereinafter referred to as “effective line”) among symbols displayed on the display window. A privilege (for example, a medal) is given to.

  In addition, such a gaming machine detects the operation of the start lever by the player, extracts a predetermined random number value based on the detection of the operation of the start lever, and extracts the extracted random number value for each winning combination. The winning combination is determined based on the winning combination determination table in which the lottery value is defined, and reel stop control is performed based on the determined winning combination and the stop button operation by the player. Here, depending on the determined winning combination, it may be permitted to display a plurality of symbol combinations on the active line among predetermined symbol combinations.

  At this time, when “losing” is determined as the winning combination, a combination of symbols that can receive a privilege is not displayed regardless of the operation of the stop button at any timing. In addition, if the stop button is not operated at an appropriate timing, the winning combination will not be displayed on the active line in combination with the winning combination, or if the stop button is operated at any timing, There is a winning combination in which such a combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the active line.

  In other words, if the winning combination is determined as a winning combination that does not stop and display the combination of symbols related to the winning combination unless the stop button is operated at the appropriate timing, the stop operation is performed at the appropriate timing. Since it is necessary to do this, the player is required to have a certain skill regarding the operation of the stop button.

  In addition, in such a gaming machine, in a normal gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player, when a specific state transition condition is satisfied, a gaming state that is advantageous to the player compared to the normal gaming state (hereinafter, referred to as a gaming state) , Referred to as “specific game state”). Here, the “specific game state” means that the probability that a combination of symbols from which medals are paid out (hereinafter referred to as “combination of symbols related to winning”) is displayed on the active line is improved as compared to the normal gaming state. Bonus games ("RB (Regular Bonus)", "BB (Big Bonus)", "CB (Challenge Bonus)", "MB (Middle Bonus)", etc.), and operation of the start lever without any medal insertion operation An example is “RT (replay time)” that improves the probability that a re-game in which a game is started is determined as a winning combination.

  In addition to the gaming state described above, when the specific state transition condition is satisfied in the “normal state” which is disadvantageous to the player, a state advantageous to the player (hereinafter referred to as “normal state”). Control to shift to a “specific state” is performed. Here, the “specific state” means that a combination of symbols related to winning is not displayed unless the stop button is operated in an appropriate operation order (or if the stop button is not operated in an appropriate operation order, the number of medals to be paid out) An example is "AT (Assist Time)" that informs the appropriate stop button operation sequence when a specific winning combination is determined. It is done. Therefore, the player plays the game while desiring to shift to the “specific game state” or the “specific state”.

  Recently, in such gaming machines, there has been known a gaming machine that executes a predetermined alerting notification regarding continuation of the game in accordance with a predetermined condition established by the progress of the game (for example, Patent Document 1). In such a gaming machine, control for executing a warning alert by a display device is performed in accordance with a gaming state and a game result. Thereby, the continuation of the excessive game by a player can be suppressed.

JP 2017-046885 A

  However, when the gaming machine described above continues to play a game, the alerting notification may be canceled. If it does so, the problem that the continuation of the excessive game by a player cannot be suppressed effectively will arise.

  In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can effectively suppress excessive continuation of games by a player.

  In order to solve such a problem, a gaming machine according to the present invention includes a reel control means for performing drive control and stop control of a plurality of reels having a plurality of symbols arranged on the peripheral surface, and a start operation by a player. Based on the start operation detecting means to detect, the winning combination determining means for determining the winning combination based on the detection of the start operation by the start operation detecting means, and the invalidation execution condition being satisfied, An invalidation control means for performing control for invalidating a predetermined operation, and a control for executing a warning effect relating to the continuation of the game of the player when the predetermined operation is invalidated by the invalidation control means And a warning effect execution control means.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the game machine which can suppress effectively the continuation of the excessive game by a player can be provided.

  In the present embodiment, when the gaming state managed by the main control board 300 is a “second RT gaming state” to be described later, “normal replay” with a winning number “01” and “winning number“ 07 ”with“ “Special Replay”, “Common Bell” with winning number “08”, “Watermelon” with winning number “09”, “Weak Cherry” with winning number “10”, “Strong Cherry” with winning number “11” The winning number “12” “chance role”, the winning number “13” “first pushing order bell”, the winning number “14” “second pushing order bell”, and the winning number “15” “3rd push order bell” of winning number “16”, “5th push order bell” of winning number “17”, “red BB” of winning number “18” The winning number “19” “White BB”, the winning number “20” “Black BB”, and the winning number “ “Watermelon + Red BB” of “1”, “Weak Cherry + Red BB” of the winning number “22”, “Strong Cherry + Red BB” of the winning number “23”, “Chance role” of the winning number “24” + Red BB ”,“ watermelon + white BB ”with winning number“ 25 ”,“ weak cherry + white BB ”with winning number“ 26 ”,“ strong cherry + white BB ”with winning number“ 27 ”, The winning number “28” “chance role + white BB”, the winning number “29” “watermelon + black BB”, the winning number “30” “weak cherry + black BB”, and the winning number “31” Lottery values are defined for “strong cherry + black BB” and “chance combination + black BB” of the winning number “32”.

  In the present embodiment, when the gaming state managed by the main control board 300 is a “third RT gaming state” to be described later, the “normal replay” of the winning number “01” and the “No. “Common Bell”, “Watermelon” with winning number “09”, “Weak Cherry” with winning number “10”, “Strong Cherry” with winning number “11”, and “Chance” with winning number “12” The winning number “13” “first pushing order bell”, the winning number “14” “second pushing order bell”, the winning number “15” “third pushing order bell”, and the winning number “ The lottery value is defined for “4th push order bell” of “16” and “5th push order bell” of the winning number “17”.

  In this embodiment, when the game state managed by the main control board 300 is an “RB game state” described later, a “common bell” with a winning number “12” and a “watermelon” with a winning number “13”. ”,“ Weak cherry ”with a winning number“ 14 ”,“ strong cherry ”with a winning number“ 15 ”, and“ chance combination ”with a winning number“ 16 ”.

  “Push order replay A”, “push order replay B”, “push order replay C”, “push order replay D”, and “push order replay E” are collectively referred to as “push order replay”. “Normal replay”, “push order replay”, and “special replay” are collectively referred to as “replay”.

  Further, “first push order bell”, “second push order bell”, “third push order bell”, “fourth push order bell”, and “fifth push order bell” are collectively referred to as “push order bell”. , “Weak cherry” and “strong cherry” are collectively called “cherry”, “common bell” and “push order bell” are collectively called “bell”, “bell” “Watermelon”, “Cherry”, and “Chance” are collectively called “Winner”.

  “Red BB”, “White BB”, and “Black BB” are collectively referred to as “BB”.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the winning probability of “Red BB” is “85/65536” regardless of the set value. Similarly, the winning probability of “White BB” is “85/65536” regardless of the set value. That is, the winning probability of “Red BB” and the winning probability of “White BB” are common to all the set values.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the winning probability of “black BB” varies depending on the set value. Specifically, when the set value is “1”, the winning probability of “Black BB” is “86/65536”, and when the set value is “6”, the winning probability of “Black BB” is , “92/65536”. Thus, in this embodiment, the winning probability of “black BB” is higher when the setting value is “6” than when the setting value is “1”. That is, in this embodiment, the higher the set value, the higher the winning probability of “Black BB”.

(State transition diagram)
Next, a state transition diagram managed by the main control board 300 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of states managed by the main control board 300 are provided. Specifically, in this embodiment, “normal state”, “first carryover state”, “normal first BB state”, “normal second BB state”, “fake precursor state”, “chance precursor state” “ART precursor state”, “ART ready state”, “chance state”, “ART state”, “second carryover state”, “1st BB state during ART”, “2nd BB state during ART”, and “ART addition” A total of “14” states are defined. Therefore, each state managed by the main control board 300 will be specifically described below.

(Normal state)
The “normal state” is a disadvantageous state for the player. Here, in the “normal state”, when “BB” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, and “the combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, the “normal state” ”To“ first carryover state ”. In addition, in the “normal state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “normal state” is changed to the “normal state”. It will shift to the “first BB state”. Further, in the “normal state”, when “the combination of symbols related to the black seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “normal state” is shifted to the “normal second BB state”.

  Further, in the “normal state”, when the lottery for the fake sign state transition is won, the “normal state” is shifted to the “fake sign state”. In the “normal state”, when the lottery for shifting to the ART preparation state is won, the “normal state” is shifted to the “ART precursor state”. In the “normal state”, when the chance state shift lottery is won, the “normal state” shifts to the “chance precursor state”.

  In the “normal state”, a “normal period” is set. Here, in the present embodiment, apart from the state managed by the main control board 300, a “normal period”, a “standby period”, and an “advantage period” are provided.

(Normal period)
The “normal period” is a period that is disadvantageous for the player and refers to a period during which the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified.

(Waiting period)
The “standby period” is a period in which, in the “normal period”, when it is determined to shift to the “advantage period”, it is awaited to shift to the “advantage period”. Specifically, in the present embodiment, in the game in which “Red BB” or “White BB” is determined as the winning combination, when it is determined to shift to the “advantage period”, the “normal period” Will shift to the “standby period”. In the “standby period”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “advantage period” from the “standby period” Will be transferred to. In the “standby period”, the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified as in the “normal period”.

(Advantageous period)
The “favorable period” is a period advantageous to the player as compared to the “normal period”, and the operation sequence of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is at least “1” times. This refers to the period of notification. Specifically, in this embodiment, when “push order bell” is determined as a winning combination in the “advantage period”, “combination of symbols related to correct bell” is displayed on the active line. The operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is notified.

  Here, in this embodiment, the “push order bell” is applied as a winning combination in which the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is notified at least “1” times. This is because the winning combination having the largest number of payout medals out of the winning combinations that can be won according to the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 of the player.

  For example, in addition to “push order bell”, a “push order” that allows winning according to the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is separately provided. When “combination of” is displayed on the active line, it is assumed that “3” medals are paid out. In this case, “push order” is won as the winning combination, and the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 for displaying “a combination of symbols related to the push order” on the active line are displayed. No matter how many times the operation order is notified, if “push order bell” is determined as a winning combination, “combination of correct bells” is displayed on the active line at least “1” times. The operation order of the left stop button 11, middle stop button 12, and right stop button 13 for doing so will be notified.

  In addition, when the “combination of watermelon symbols” that can be won regardless of the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 by the player is displayed on the active line, It is assumed that a lot of medals are paid out as compared to the case where the “combination of symbols related to” is displayed on the active line. Even in this case, no matter how many times it is notified that “watermelon” is determined as the winning combination, if “push order bell” is determined as the winning combination after that, at least “1” times, The operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 for displaying “a combination of symbols related to the correct answer bell” on the active line will be notified.

  Although specifically described later, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of games that can be played in the “advantage period” is “1500” games. When the “1500” game is played after the “advantage period” is entered, even if the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified. The “advantageous period” ends, and the process proceeds to the “normal period”. As a result, the states managed by the main control board 300 are “first advantageous BB state”, “fake precursor state”, “chance precursor state”, “ART precursor state”, and “ART ready state”. , "Chance state", "ART state", "second carryover state", "1st BB state during ART", "2nd BB state during ART", "ART added state" When a game of “1500” game is played without notifying the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 for displaying “combination of” on the active line, To “normal state”.

  Although specifically described later, in this embodiment, the “advantage period” is a period during which the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is notified at least “1” times. However, when shifting to the “RB gaming state”, the operation sequence of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified, and the transition to the “normal period” may occur. is there. For example, after shifting to the “fake precursor state”, before “push order bell” is determined as the winning combination, “BB” is determined as the winning combination, and it is not determined to shift to the “advantageous period” , “The combination of symbols related to BB” is displayed on the active line, the operation sequence of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified, and the “normal period” Will be transferred to. This means that even if the “advantage period” ends without notification of the operation sequence of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13, This is because a predetermined number of medals are awarded, so that it is possible to prevent the “advantageous period” from ending without giving a profit to the player.

(First carryover state)
“First carryover state” is when “BB” is determined as a winning combination in “normal state” or “fake precursor state” and “combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line. It is a state to be migrated. Here, in the “first carryover state”, when “a combination of symbols related to red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, “first carryover state” ”To“ Normal 1 BB state ”, and when“ Combination of Black Seven BB symbols ”is displayed on the active line,“ First carryover state ”to“ Normal 2 BB state ” Will be transferred to.

  In the “first carryover state”, it is a “normal period” or a “standby period”. Specifically, in “normal state” and “fake precursor state”, “red BB” or “white BB” is determined as a winning combination, and it is determined to shift to “advantage period”. When the “combination of symbols” is not displayed on the active line, the “waiting period” is set. In this case, the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified. On the other hand, in a game in which “red BB” or “white BB” is determined as a winning combination in “normal state” or “fake precursor state”, it is not determined to shift to “advantage period” When the “combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, the “normal period” is set. In addition, when “black BB” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later and the state shifts to the “first carryover state”, the “normal period” is entered. Even in this case, the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified.

(Normally 1st BB state)
The “normal first BB state” is an advantageous state for the player as compared to the “normal state”. In the “normal state”, the “fake precursor state”, and the “first carryover state”, the “red seven This is a state in which transition is made when the “combination of symbols related to BB” or “combination of symbols related to white seven BB” is displayed on the active line. Here, in the “normal first BB state”, when “200” medals are paid out, the “normal first BB state” ends. At this time, if the ART ready state winning flag, which will be described later, is ON, the state shifts from the “normal 1st BB state” to the “ART ready state”, and if the ART ready state winning flag is OFF. , The “normal state first BB state” is shifted to the “normal state”.

  In the “normal first BB state”, a “normal period” or an “advantageous period” is set. Specifically, when the “first carryover state”, which is the “standby period”, is shifted to the “normal first BB state”, the “advantage period” is shifted to. On the other hand, when the “first carryover state” that is the “normal period” is shifted to the “normal first BB state”, the “normal period” remains.

(Normal second BB state)
The “normal second BB state” is an advantageous state for the player as compared to the “normal state”. In the “normal state”, the “fake precursor state”, and the “first carryover state”, “black seven This is a state to be transferred when the “combination of symbols related to BB” is displayed on the active line. Here, in the “normal second BB state”, when “36” medals have been paid out, the “normal second BB state” ends. At this time, the “normal state second BB state” is shifted to the “normal state”. In the “normal second BB state”, the “normal period” is set.

(Fake precursor state)
In the “normal fake state”, in the “normal state”, as a winning role, “watermelon” with a winning number “13”, “weak cherry” with a winning number “14”, “strong cherry” with a winning number “15”, or Whether or not to shift to the “chance state” without winning the lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the “ART ready state” when the “chance role” of the winning number “16” is determined This is a state that is shifted when the lottery is not won, and is a state in which it is expected that the state has shifted to a “predictive state” or “ART ready state”. Here, in the “fake precursor state”, when “BB” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, and “the combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, The “predictor state” will shift to the “first carryover state”. In addition, in the “fake precursor state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “fake precursor state” is changed to “ It will shift to the “first BB state at the normal time”. In addition, in the “fake precursor state”, when “the combination of the symbols related to the black seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “fake precursor state” is shifted to the “normal second BB state”. .

  In addition, in the “fake precursor state”, when the winning lottery is won, the “fake precursor state” is shifted to the “normal state”. In the “fake precursor state”, when the ART preparation state transition lottery is won, the “fake precursor state” is shifted to the “ART precursor state”. In addition, when the chance state transition lottery is won in the “fake precursor state”, the “fake precursor state” transitions to the “chance precursor state”.

  Here, in the “fake precursor state”, it is an “advantageous period”. For this reason, in the present embodiment, when “push order bell” is determined as the winning combination in the “fake precursor state”, “the combination of symbols related to the correct bell” is activated at least “1” times. The operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 that can be displayed above is notified. And in this embodiment, after the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 capable of displaying the “combination of symbols related to the correct answer bell” on the active line is notified, A falling lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the “normal state” is performed.

  The condition for shifting from the “fake precursor state” to the “normal state” can be set as appropriate. For example, it may be applied that a predetermined number of games have been played.

(Predicting chance)
The “chance predictor state” is a state that is shifted when a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the “chance state” is won in the “normal state”. Here, when “BB” is determined as a winning combination in the “pre-chance state”, and the “combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, the “chance” The “predictor state” will shift to the “second carryover state”. In addition, in the “chance predictor state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “chance predictor state” to “ The state shifts to the “1st BB state during ART”. In addition, in the “chance precursor state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the black seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “chance precursor state” is shifted to the “second BB state during ART”. . Further, in the “chance precursor state”, when the value of the chance precursor state game number counter is “0”, the “chance precursor state” is shifted to the “chance state”.

  Here, the “advantageous period” is used in the “predictive state”. For this reason, when “push order bell” is determined as a winning combination by the internal lottery process described later in “predicting chance”, at least “1” times, “combination of symbols related to correct bell” The operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 that can be displayed on the effective line is notified.

(ART precursor state)
The “ART precursor state” is a state that is shifted when a lottery for whether to shift to the “ART ready state” is won in the “normal state” or the “fake precursor state”. Here, in the “ART precursor state”, when “BB” is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, and “the combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, “ART” The “predictor state” will shift to the “second carryover state”. In the “ART precursor state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “art precursor state” to “ The state shifts to the “1st BB state during ART”. Further, in the “ART precursor state”, when “the combination of the symbols related to the black seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the state shifts from the “ART precursor state” to the “second BB state during ART”. . Further, in the “ART precursor state”, when the value of the ART precursor state game number counter becomes “0”, the state shifts from the “ART precursor state” to the “ART ready state”.

  Here, the “art precursor state” is an “advantageous period”. For this reason, when “push order bell” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later in “ART precursor state”, at least “1” times, “the combination of symbols related to the correct answer bell” The operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 that can be displayed on the effective line is notified.

(ART ready state)
The “ART ready state” is a state that is more advantageous to the player than the “normal state”, and is a state that is shifted to before the “ART state”. Here, in the “ART ready state”, when “BB” is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, and “the combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, “ART” From the “prepared state” to the “second carryover state”. In addition, in the “ART ready state”, when “a combination of symbols related to Red Seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to White Seven BB” is displayed on the active line, “ART ready state” is changed to “ The state shifts to the “1st BB state during ART”. Further, in the “ART ready state”, when “the combination of symbols related to the black seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the state shifts from the “ART ready state” to the “second BB state during ART”. .

  In “ART ready state”, when “push order replay” is determined by an internal lottery process to be described later and “combination of symbols related to transition replay” is displayed on the active line, or “ART ready state” In the game that has transitioned to ”, if the game is staying in the“ second RT gaming state ”and the ART added state winning flag is OFF, the transition from“ ART ready state ”to“ ART state ” It becomes. In “ART ready state”, when “push order replay” is determined by an internal lottery process to be described later and “combination of symbols related to transition replay” is displayed on the active line, or “ART ready state” In the game that has transitioned to "", if the game is staying in the "2nd RT gaming state" and the ART added state winning flag is ON, the state shifts from "ART ready state" to "ART added state". It will be.

  Here, the “ART ready state” is an “advantageous period”. For this reason, in the “ART ready state”, when “push order bell” is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery process to be described later, “a combination of symbols related to the correct bell” is displayed on the active line. The operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 that can be used is notified. In addition, in the “ART ready state”, if “push order replay” is determined as the winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, “combination of symbols related to transition replay” may be displayed on the active line. The possible operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 will be notified.

(Chance state)
The “chance state” is a state that is more easily shifted to the “ART ready state” than the “normal state” or the “fake precursor state”. Here, in the “chance state”, when “BB” is determined as a winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, and “the combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, the “chance state” ”To“ second carryover state ”. In the “chance state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “chance state” is changed from the “chance state” to “ It will shift to the “first BB state”. Further, in the “chance state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the black seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “chance state” is shifted to the “second BB state during ART”.

  In the “chance state”, when the value of the chance state game number counter is “0”, the “chance state” is shifted to the “normal state”. If it is determined in the “chance state” to shift to the “ART ready state”, the “chance state” is shifted to the “ART ready state”.

  Here, in the “chance state”, it is an “advantageous period”. For this reason, in the “chance state”, when “push order bell” is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery process to be described later, “a combination of symbols related to the correct bell” may be displayed on the active line. The possible operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 will be notified.

(ART state)
The “ART state” is an advantageous state for the player as compared to the “normal state”. When the “push order bell” is determined as the winning combination by the internal lottery process described later, This is a state in which the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 capable of displaying the “combination of symbols” is displayed on the active line. Here, in the “ART state”, when “BB” is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, and “the combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line, the “ART state” ”To“ second carryover state ”. In addition, in the “ART state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “art state” is changed from “ART state” to “ It will shift to the “first BB state”. In addition, in the “ART state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the black seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the state shifts from the “ART state” to the “second BB state during ART”.

  Further, in the “ART state”, when “special replay” is determined as the winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, the state shifts from the “ART state” to the “ART added state”. Further, in the “ART state”, when the value of the ART state game number counter becomes “0”, or when the advantageous period game number counter value becomes “0”, the “ART state” changes from “ART state” to “ It will shift to “normal state”.

  Here, the “ART state” is an “advantageous period”. For this reason, in the “ART state”, when “push order bell” is determined as the winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, “a combination of symbols related to the correct bell” may be displayed on the active line. The possible operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 will be notified.

(Second carryover state)
In the “second carryover state”, the “chance precursor state”, “ART precursor state”, “ART ready state”, “chance state”, “ART state”, and “ART added state” are determined by an internal lottery process described later. This is a state in which “BB” is determined as the winning combination, and the transition is made when “the combination of symbols related to BB” is not displayed on the active line. Here, in the “second carryover state”, when “a combination of symbols related to the red seven BB” or “a combination of symbols related to the white seven BB” is displayed on the active line, the “second carryover state” ”To“ 1st BB state during ART ”, and when“ Combination of symbols related to Black Seven BB ”is displayed on the active line,“ 2nd carryover state ”to“ 2nd BB state during ART ” Will be transferred to.

  Here, the “second carryover state” is a “normal period” or an “advantageous period”. Specifically, in the “second carryover state”, when the value of the advantageous period game number counter, which will be described later, is not “0”, the “advantage period” is set. In this case, when “push order bell” is determined as a winning combination by an internal lottery process described later, a left stop button 11 that can display “a combination of symbols related to the correct answer bell”, middle stop The operation order of the button 12 and the right stop button 13 will be notified. On the other hand, in the “second carryover state”, when the value of the advantageous period game number counter, which will be described later, is “0”, the “normal period” is set. In this case, the operation order of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is not notified.

(1st BB state during ART)
The “first BB state during ART” is “chance precursor state”, “ART precursor state”, “ART ready state”, “chance state”, “ART state”, “ART added state”, or “second carryover state”. , The state is shifted to when the “combination of symbols related to red seven BB” or “combination of symbols related to white seven BB” is displayed on the active line. Here, in the “first BB state during ART”, when more than “200” medals are paid out, the “first BB state during ART” ends. At this time, if the value of the advantageous period game number counter, which will be described later, is not “0”, the state shifts from the “first BB state during ART” to the “ART ready state”. On the other hand, when the value of the advantageous period game number counter, which will be described later, is “0” at the end of the “first BB state during ART”, the state shifts from the “first BB state during ART” to the “normal state”. Become.

(Other timings for displaying the warning image 600)
Next, another timing for displaying the warning image 600 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 70A, when the number of games displayed as the ART state remaining game number display image 605 is equal to the value of the ART state game number counter, the ART state remaining game number display image is displayed. When the number of games displayed in 605 becomes “0”, an image notifying that the “ART state” has ended is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. At this time, the warning image 600 is also displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 70B, when the number of games displayed as the ART state remaining game number display image 605 is less than the value of the ART state game number counter, the ART state remaining game number display is displayed. When the number of games displayed on the image 605 becomes “0”, an image notifying that the “ART state” has ended is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. At this time, the warning image 600 is not displayed on the liquid crystal display device.

  Then, after an image for informing that the “ART state” has ended is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31, an image for informing that the “ART state” continues at a specific timing is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 31. Accordingly, the value of the ART state game number counter is displayed by the ART state remaining game number display image 605.

  Here, the specific timing can be set as appropriate. For example, the timing at which any one of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 may be operated, or all of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are operated. It may be the timing.

  Alternatively, the timing at which the operation of the MAXBET button 8 is detected after all of the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are operated, or the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12 may be detected. The timing at which a medal is inserted into the medal slot 6 after all of the right stop buttons 13 are operated may be used.

  Alternatively, the timing may be the timing at which the start lever 10 is operated after the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are all operated and the operation of the MAXBET button 8 is detected. The timing at which the start lever 10 is operated after any one of the button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 is operated and a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 6 may be used.
