  When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 or the number of bets is set using credits. To use the credit, the MAXBET switch 6 may be operated. When a predetermined number of bets set according to the game state is set, the pay line LN (see FIG. 1) becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, that is, the game can be started. Become. When medals are inserted in more than the maximum number among the prescribed numbers corresponding to the gaming state, the medals are added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line that is set to determine whether the combination of the symbols displayed in the perspective windows 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is a combination of the winning symbols. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, only the winning line LN set across the middle row of the reel 2L, the middle section of the reel 2C, and the middle section of the reel 2R, that is, the middle row, is a winning line. Stipulated. In this embodiment, only one winning line is applied, but a plurality of winning lines may be applied.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate, and the symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R change continuously. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the see-through window 3.

  One game is completed by stopping all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and a predetermined combination of symbols (hereinafter, also referred to as a combination) on the winning line is displayed on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. When the game stops, a prize is generated, and a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the prize, and are added to the credit. When the number of credits reaches the upper limit (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid directly from the medal payout port 9 (see FIG. 1). Further, when a combination of symbols accompanied by a transition of the game state is stopped on the winning line as a result of displaying the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the game state is shifted to a game state corresponding to the combination of the symbols.

  In this embodiment, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected in a state where the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and ends when all the reels stop. One unit of control (game control) for executing the game is started when all controls accompanying the end of the previous game are completed, and when all controls accompanying the end of the game are completed. finish.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are rotated and the symbols start to change, one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated. Then, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped, and the symbol is stopped and displayed.

  Hereinafter, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R may be simply referred to as reels unless it is particularly necessary to distinguish them. The reel 2L may be referred to as a left reel, the reel 2C may be referred to as a middle reel, and the reel 2R may be referred to as a right reel. An operation of stopping the reels 2L, 2C, 2R by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R may be referred to as a stop operation.

  As shown in FIG. 2, inside the slot machine 1, a game control board 40 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands according to the progress of the game, and controls a predetermined effect according to the command. An effect control board 90 and the like are provided. The game control board 40 includes a main control unit 41 that performs processing relating to the progress of the game and controls a configuration mounted or connected to the game control board 40. The effect control board 90 includes a sub-control unit 91 that performs a process of performing an effect in response to a command transmitted from the game control board 40 and controls a configuration mounted or connected to the effect control board 90. The main control unit 41 is configured by a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a main CPU 41a, a ROM 41b, and a RAM 41c. The main control unit 41 executes a control program stored in the ROM 41b to perform processing relating to the progress of the game, and directly or indirectly controls each unit of a control circuit mounted on the game control board 40. The sub-control unit 91 is constituted by a one-chip microcomputer and includes a sub-CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, and a RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 executes a control program stored in the ROM 91b to perform processing relating to the progress of the game, and directly or indirectly controls each unit of a control circuit mounted on the game control board 90.

[About AT]
In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 provides an assist time (hereinafter, referred to as an assisting period) in which a navigational notification of notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the player by the lighting mode of the game assistance display 12 can be executed. AT). Further, the main control unit 41 can be controlled to a normal state as a game state other than the AT. The AT becomes controllable when it wins the AT lottery performed in the normal state. AT lottery is won according to the result of internal lottery. In the AT lottery, when the result of the internal lottery becomes a predetermined result, 100% is won and the AT is determined. This state is referred to as establishment of a seven-set flag. The AT lottery can also be won when the player wins a rare role having a lower winning probability than another lottery role by an internal lottery. The AT is controlled when the AT lottery is won, but is controlled to the normal state when the AT ends. The normal state has a higher probability of being controlled than other game states including the AT. Therefore, most games are played in the normal state.

  When controlled by the AT, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the game state, and executes the navigation notification based on the winning number of the selected navigation notification combination. By notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the player and transmitting a push order command capable of specifying the stop order that is advantageous to the player based on the winning number to the sub-control unit 91, the liquid crystal display 51 and the like are displayed. To perform a navigation effect using. The AT ends when a predetermined number of games have been played. In the slot machine 1, most games are played in the normal state, and the ratio controlled to the normal state is the highest among a plurality of states including the AT and the bonus.

[Game flow until controlled by AT]
The game flow up to the control by the AT will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, there are three stages in the normal state, and the game is performed while staying at any one of the stages. The three stages are composed of a mountain stage, a river stage, and a space stage. In any stage, an effect called a cut-in effect can be executed as a promotion effect. The cut-in effect is performed when the start switch 7 is operated after the bet amount is set, that is, when the game is started and before the operation of the stop switch is validated. In the cut-in effect, the specific identification information image (in this example, the image indicating the symbol “7”) related to the specific display result (the display result in which three “7” symbols are aligned on the winning line LN) and the player By displaying an image suggesting the operation (in this example, an image showing the character “Aim at!”) And outputting the voice of the character, the derivation of the specific display result is prompted. Then, when the specific display result is derived (that is, the symbol “7” is aligned on the winning line LN), it is suggested that AT as a privilege is given. When the symbol “7” is aligned on the pay line LN, the AT is controlled from the next game. In the following, in the present embodiment, since the expected degree of derivation of the specific display result is the AT expectation degree, the expected degree of derivation of the specific display result may be referred to as the AT expectation degree. Further, prompting the derivation of the specific display result may be abbreviated to prompting the derivation of “7”. Also, a cut-in effect that prompts the derivation of “7” may be referred to as an effect aiming at “7”.

  In the normal state, when the seven flags are established, the AT may be controlled through the execution of a cut-in effect that prompts the derivation of “7”. It should be noted that the cut-in effect may be executed even when the seven matching flags are not established, or the cut-in effect may not be executed even when the seven matching flags are established. Further, in the normal state, when the rare combination is won by the internal lottery and the AT lottery is won, the AT may be controlled through a continuous effect over a plurality of games. The continuous production has success and failure as a result of the production, and becomes successful when controlled by the AT. In addition, even if the player wins the rare role and wins the AT lottery, the AT may be controlled without performing the continuous production, and the cut-in production may be performed when the player wins the rare role and wins the AT lottery. It may be executed and controlled by the AT. Further, there is a case where a continuous effect is executed with seven sets of flags established.

  In any of the mountain stage, the river stage, and the space stage, a cut-in effect A in which the character A appears, a cut-in effect B in which the character B appears, and a cut-in effect C in which the character C appears can be executed. In FIG. 6, as described later, the execution ratio of the cut-in effect is the same in each stage.

  Also, only the character A appears on the mountain stage, the characters A and B appear on the river stage, and the characters A, B, and C appear on the space stage.

  In addition, when the AT lottery is won under the control of the AT, when the seven-match flag is established, the number of games in the AT is added as it is, and in the AT winning by the rare role winning, the AT is performed via a continuous effect. May be added.

[Timer interrupt processing (sub)]
Next, a timer interrupt process (sub) executed by the sub control unit 91 at an interval of 1.12 ms based on the count value of the internal clock will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the timer interrupt processing (sub), the sub control unit first saves the register in use to the stack area (Sp1). Next, a power failure determination process is performed (Sp2). In the power failure determination process, it is determined whether a voltage drop signal has been input from the power interruption detection circuit.If the voltage drop signal has been input, whether the voltage reduction signal has been input in the previous power failure determination process. If a voltage drop signal is also input in the previous power failure determination process, it is determined that a power failure has occurred, and a power interruption flag indicating that fact is set.

  After the power failure determination process in step Sp2, it is determined whether or not the power failure flag is set (Sp3). If the power failure flag is set, the process proceeds to the power failure process (sub). In the power interruption process (sub), the backup flag used in the start process (sub) is set after the backup data is created, and the checksum is calculated by calculating the exclusive OR of the backup data.

  If the power interruption flag is not set, a command analysis process is executed (Sp4). In the command analysis processing, it is determined whether or not a command is stored in the command buffer. If the command is stored in the command buffer, the command is acquired from the command buffer. Then, a process corresponding to the acquired command is executed.

  In Sp5, the sub-control unit 91 performs a stage selection process (Sp5). In the stage selection process, when the bet amount is set and the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, the sub-control unit 91 determines which of the three stages to control by lottery. The stage is not shifted when it is determined to be the same stage as the staying stage, and is shifted when it is determined to be different from the staying stage.

  In Sp6, the sub control unit 91 executes a continuous effect execution process (Sp6). In the continuous effect execution process, the sub-control unit 91 determines by lottery whether or not to execute a continuous effect when the game is started by setting the bet amount and operating the start switch 7. When it is determined that the continuous effect is to be executed, the execution of the continuous effect is started from the game. Then, it is shown whether the continuous production was successful or failed in the final game of the continuous production. If successful, it is notified that the AT lottery has been won. If it has failed, it is notified that the AT lottery has not been won.

  In Sp7, the sub-control unit 91 executes an expectation degree suggestion effect execution process (Sp7). In the expectation degree suggestion effect execution process, when the bet amount is set during the execution of the continuous effect and the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, the result of the continuous effect is successful or failed. It is determined by lottery whether or not to execute an effect indicating a degree of expectation that suggests the fact. In the present embodiment, the expected degree suggestion effect is a cut-in effect performed when the start switch 7 is operated after the bet amount is set, that is, when the game is started and before the operation of the stop switch is activated. You. Specifically, cut-in effects a to c are executed as expected degree suggestion effects. Then, in the cut-in effects A to C, the corresponding character appears to prompt derivation of “7”. In the cut-in effects a to c, the corresponding character appears in the same manner as the cut-in effects A to C. 7 is not prompted. Specifically, the character A appears in the cut-in effect a, the character B appears in the cut-in effect b, and the character C appears in the cut-in effect c. In the expectation effect suggestion effect execution process, when it is determined that the expectation effect effect is to be executed, the cut-in effect to be executed is selected from the cut-in effects a to c. Hereinafter, the cut-in effects a to c may be referred to as cut-in effects when a continuous effect occurs.

  In Sp8, the sub-control unit 91 executes a promotion effect execution process (Sp8). In the promotion effect execution process, the sub-control unit 91 cuts-in effect to urge the derivation of “7” as the promotion effect when the bet amount is set and the start switch 7 is operated to start the game, that is, “7”. It is determined by lottery whether or not the effect is aimed at, and when it is determined that the effect is aimed at "7", the effect aimed at "7" to be executed is selected from the cut-in effects A to C. If it is determined that the effect is to be executed aiming at “7”, the effect is executed aiming at “7” before the operation of the stop switch is validated.

  In Sp9, the sub-control unit 91 executes an effect sound output process (Sp9). In the effect sound output process, the sub-control unit 91 outputs an effect sound when the stop switch is operated or when the symbol “7” is aligned on the pay line LN.

[Stage selection rate]
In the stage selection process of Sp5, a lottery for selecting a stage is performed so that the stage stay rate in the normal state (that is, the stage selection rate) has a probability as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the stay rate of the mountain stage is the highest (“high” in the figure), then the stay rate of the river stage is high (“medium” in the figure), and the stay rate of the space stage is the lowest (FIG. 5). Medium "low"). As described above, only the character A appears on the mountain stage, the characters A and B appear on the river stage, and the characters A, B, and C appear on the space stage. In the normal state, the appearance ratio of the character A is the highest, then the appearance ratio of the character B is high, and the appearance ratio of the character C is the lowest in the normal state.

  On the other hand, the mountain stage has the lowest AT expectation (the probability of being controlled by the AT) (“low” in the figure), and has the lowest advantage regarding AT assignment. The river stage has a higher AT expectation (probability of being controlled by the AT) than the mountain stage, and has a higher degree of AT-related advantage than the mountain stage ("medium" in the figure). The space stage has a higher AT expectation (probability of being controlled by the AT) than the river stage, and has a higher degree of advantage in providing the AT than the river stage ("high" in the figure).

[Selection rate of production suggesting expectations]
In the expectation degree suggestion effect execution process of Sp7, the lottery for selecting the cut-in effects a to c is performed so that the probability as illustrated in FIG. 6 is obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, in the cut-in effects a to c at the time of occurrence of the continuous effect, when the continuous effect is successful, the cut-in effect a is 30%, the cut-in effect b is 60%, and the cut-in effect c is Is set to 10%, and cut-in effects a to c are selected. Further, when the continuous production fails, the cut-in productions a to a are selected such that the cut-in production a becomes 30%, the cut-in production b becomes 60%, and the cut-in production c becomes 10% when the continuous production succeeds. You.

[Selection rate of promotion effect]
In the promotion effect execution process of Sp8, a lottery for selecting the cut-in effects A to C is performed so that the probability as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, in the effect aiming at “7”, when the symbol “7” is derived, the cut-in effect A is 30%, the cut-in effect B is 60%, and the cut-in effect C Is set to 10%, and cut-in effects A to C are selected. When the symbol “7” is not derived, the cut-in effect is selected such that the cut-in effect A is 80%, the cut-in effect B is 20%, and the cut-in effect C is 0%.

  In addition, even if the cut-in effect is executed for two games in a row, any one of the cut-in effects A to C is selected with the probability of FIG. The cut-in effect B has a lower design expectation degree (ie, AT expectation degree) of the display result in which the symbol “7” stops on the winning line LN than the cut-in effect B, and the cut-in effect B is cut more than the cut-in effect B. The rule that the in-effect A has a lower expected degree of derivation remains unchanged.

[Examples of promotion effects]
Next, a specific example of the promotion effect (effect aiming at “7”) will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12. FIGS. 7 and 8 show a specific example in which a cut-in effect A occurs at the mountain stage as an effect aiming at “7”. FIGS. 9 and 10 show a cut-in effect B as an effect aiming at “7” at the river stage. 11 and 12 show specific examples when a cut-in effect C is generated as an effect aiming at “7” in the space stage.

[Mountain stage cut-in effect A]
As shown in FIG. 7A, on the mountain stage, a normal background 60 with a mountain as a background and a character A are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 so as to be superimposed on the normal background 60. It is assumed that the game is started in this state. The arrow in the figure indicates that the reel is rotating.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when the game is started, a cut-in background 61 for a cut-in effect is displayed so as to be superimposed on the normal background 60. The cut-in background 61 is displayed so as to cross the center of the screen. Even when the cut-in background 61 is displayed, a part of the normal background 60 remains displayed behind the cut-in background 61. Further, a flash image 62 and a character A as if the light flickers are displayed on the cut-in background 61. Thereby, it waits for a predetermined period until the execution of the cut-in effect is started.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, the character 63 "Aim for 7!" Is displayed so as to be superimposed on the character B to urge the symbol "7" to be derived at the position where the flash image 62 was displayed. Is done. In addition, voices “Aim for 7!” Are output as voices of the character A from the speakers 53 and 54. The character 63 "Aim for 7 !!" is subjected to blur processing. In other words, effect processing is performed. As a result, an image in which the outline of the character 63 is blurred is displayed. In the display of "7" in the character 63, a color similar to the color having the highest occupancy among the colors used for the symbol "7" is used. Further, the edge of “7” in the character 63 and the edge of “7” in the design are different from each other. Specifically, the symbol “7” of the symbol is provided with a black edge, but “7” in the character 63 is not provided with such an edge. In the display of “Aim!” In the character 63, blur processing is performed using the same color as the color used for the display of “7”. However, a blur process using a color different from the display of “7” (for example, “7” is red, and “Aim!” Is blue) may be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 7D, it is assumed that “7” is derived when the first left stop operation is performed and the first left stop is performed. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change.

  Thereafter, when the player has won the AT lottery, the process branches to FIGS. 8E to 8F. When the player has not won the AT lottery, the player branches to FIG. 8G when the player has won the AT lottery. 8 to (H).

  As shown in FIG. 8 (E), it is assumed that the middle first stop operation is performed when the AT lottery is won and “7” is derived when the middle first stop is performed. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change. However, from the speakers 53 and 54, a voice of "reach !!" that can specify that two "7" s are present is output as the voice of the character A. In addition, the voice of “Reach!” That can specify that two “7” s are aligned is output with a probability of 50% when an AT lottery is won. Then, since the sound is not output when the AT lottery is not won, it is prevented that the player recognizes that the AT is won by the sound. Note that the example in the drawing shows an example in which a voice “reach!” Is output.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (F), it is assumed that “7” is derived when the first right stop operation is performed and the first right stop is performed. As a result, a display result in which “7” is aligned on the pay line LN is derived, and it is possible to specify that the display is controlled by the AT. Therefore, “AT determined !!” is displayed on the cut-in background 61 of the liquid crystal display 51, and the voice of “AT determined!” Is output from the speakers 53 and 54 in the voice of the character A.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (G), it is assumed that “7” is derived when the middle first stop operation is performed and the middle first stop is performed when the AT lottery is not won. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change. Further, even if two “7” s are aligned, no sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (F), when the AT lottery is not won, even if the first right stop operation is performed and the first right stop is performed, “7” does not stop on the pay line LN. Then, the liquid crystal display 51 returns the cut-in background 61 to the normal background 60.

[River stage cut-in effect B]
As shown in FIG. 9A, at the river stage, a normal background 64 with a river as a background, and characters A and B are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 so as to be superimposed on the normal background 64. It is assumed that the game is started in this state. The arrow in the figure indicates that the reel is rotating.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the game is started, a cut-in background 65 for a cut-in effect is displayed so as to be superimposed on the normal background 64. The cut-in background 65 is displayed so as to cross the center of the screen. Even when the cut-in background 65 is displayed, a part of the normal background 64 remains displayed behind the cut-in background 65. Further, a flash image 66 and a character B as if the light flickers are displayed on the cut-in background 65. Thereby, it waits for a predetermined period until the execution of the cut-in effect is started.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (C), the character 67 "Aim for 7!" Is displayed so as to be superimposed on the character A to urge the symbol "7" to be derived at the position where the flash image 66 was displayed. Is done. Note that the character 67 has the same display as the character 63 (see FIG. 7C), and is displayed at a position common to (same as) the character 63. In addition, a voice saying “Please aim for 7!” Is output from the speakers 53 and 54 as a voice of the character B. The character 67 "Aim for 7!" Is subjected to blur processing. In other words, effect processing is performed. Thus, an image in which the outline of the character 67 is blurred is displayed. In the display of “7” in the character 67, a color similar to the color with the highest occupancy among the colors used for the symbol “7” is used. The edge of “7” in the character 67 and the symbol “7” of the design are different from each other. Specifically, the symbol “7” of the symbol is provided with a black edge, but “7” in the character 67 is not provided with such an edge. In the display of "Aim!" In the character 67, blur processing is performed using the same color as the color used for the display of "7". However, a blur process using a color different from the display of “7” (for example, “7” is red, and “Aim!” Is blue) may be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 9D, it is assumed that “7” is derived when the first left stop operation is performed and the first left stop is performed. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change.

  Thereafter, when the player has won the AT lottery, the process branches to FIGS. 10E to 10F. When the player has not won the AT lottery, FIG. FIG. 10 (H).

  As shown in FIG. 10 (E), it is assumed that the middle first stop operation is performed when the AT lottery is won and “7” is derived when the middle first stop is performed. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change. However, from the speakers 53 and 54, a voice of “reach !!” that can specify that two “7” s are aligned is output as the voice of the character B. In addition, the voice of “Reach!” That can specify that two “7” s are aligned is output with a probability of 50% when an AT lottery is won. Since the sound is not output when the AT lottery is not won, it is prevented that the player recognizes that the AT is won by the sound. Note that the example in the drawing shows an example in which a voice “reach!” Is output.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (F), it is assumed that “7” is derived when the right first stop operation is performed and the right first stop is performed. As a result, a display result in which “7” is aligned on the pay line LN is derived, and it is possible to specify that the display is controlled by the AT. Therefore, “AT determined !!” is displayed on the cut-in background 65 of the liquid crystal display 51, and the voice of “AT determined!” Is output from the speakers 53 and 54 in the voice of the character B.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (G), it is assumed that “7” is derived when the middle first stop operation is performed and the middle first stop is performed when the AT lottery is not won. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change. Further, even if two “7” s are aligned, no sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (F), when the AT lottery is not won, even if the first right stop operation is performed and the first right stop is performed, “7” does not stop on the pay line LN. Then, the liquid crystal display 51 returns the cut-in background 65 to the normal background 64.

[Space stage cut-in effect C]
As shown in FIG. 11A, on the space stage, a normal background 68 with the universe as a background, and characters A, B, and C are displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 so as to be superimposed on the normal background 68. . It is assumed that the game is started in this state. The arrow in the figure indicates that the reel is rotating.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, when the game is started, a cut-in background 69 for a cut-in effect is displayed so as to be superimposed on the normal background 68. The cut-in background 69 is displayed so as to cross the center of the screen. Even when the cut-in background 69 is displayed, a part of the normal background 68 remains displayed behind the cut-in background 69. Further, a flash image 70 and a character C as if the light flickers are displayed on the cut-in background 69. Thereby, it waits for a predetermined period until the execution of the cut-in effect is started.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (C), a character 71 “Aim for 7!” Prompting to derive the symbol “7” at the position where the flash image 70 was displayed is displayed so as to be superimposed on the character C. Is done. Note that the character 71 is displayed in the same manner as the character 63 (see FIG. 7C), and is displayed at a position common (same) as the character 63. In addition, voices “Aim for 7!” Are output as voices of the character C from the speakers 53 and 54. It should be noted that blur processing is applied to the character 71 "Aim for 7 !!". In other words, effect processing is performed. Thus, an image in which the outline of the character 71 is blurred is displayed. In the display of “7” in the character 71, a color similar to the color with the highest occupancy among the colors used for the symbol “7” is used. Also, the edge of “7” in the character 71 and the symbol “7” in the design are different from each other. Specifically, the symbol “7” of the symbol is provided with a black edge, but “7” in the character 71 is not provided with such an edge. In the display of “Aim !!” in the character 71, blur processing is performed using the same color as the color used for the display of “7”. However, a blur process using a color different from the display of “7” (for example, “7” is red, and “Aim!” Is blue) may be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 11D, it is assumed that “7” is derived when the first left stop operation is performed and the first left stop is performed. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, when the cut-in effect C occurs on the space stage, it is determined that “7” is derived, that is, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. Does not branch the flow of the effect, and proceeds to FIGS. 12 (E) to 12 (F).

  As shown in FIG. 12E, it is assumed that “7” is derived when the middle first stop operation is performed and the middle first stop is performed. At this time, the image on the liquid crystal display 51 does not change. However, from the speakers 53 and 54, a voice of "reach !!" that can specify that two "7" s are present is output as the voice of the character C. In addition, the voice of “Reach!” That can specify that two “7” s are aligned is output with a probability of 50% when an AT lottery is won. Since the sound is not output when the AT lottery is not won, it is prevented that the player recognizes that the AT is won by the sound. Note that the example in the drawing shows an example in which a voice “reach!” Is output.

  As shown in FIG. 12F, it is assumed that “7” is derived when the right first stop operation is performed and the right first stop is performed. As a result, a display result in which “7” is aligned on the pay line LN is derived, and it is possible to specify that the display is controlled by the AT. Therefore, “AT determined !!” is displayed on the cut-in background 69 of the liquid crystal display 51, and a voice “AT determined!” Is output from the speakers 53 and 54 in the voice of the character C.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 to 12, the stay ratio of the stage is the highest in the mountain stage, the second highest in the river stage, and the lowest in the space stage. Then, only the character A appears on the mountain stage, the characters A and B appear on the river stage, and the characters A, B, and C appear on the space stage. Therefore, in the normal state, the appearance ratio of the character A is the highest, then the appearance ratio of the character B is high, and the appearance ratio of the character C is the lowest. On the other hand, the mountain stage has the lowest AT expectation, the river stage has a higher AT expectation than the mountain stage, and the space stage has a higher AT expectation than the river stage. Therefore, the character A is frequently seen, while the characters B and C are not seen as much as the character A. For this reason, it is assumed that the cut-in effect B and the cut-in effect C, in which the characters B and C appear less frequently than the character A, have a higher advantage than the cut-in effect A in which the character A that frequently appears appears. It can improve the interest of the game.

  In the present embodiment, a unique effect (background effect) is executed in each stage as an effect other than the cut-in effect. In the background effect, only the character A appears on the mountain stage, and the characters A and B appear on the river stage, but the appearance ratio of the character B is lower than that of the character A (for example, 9: 1). In this example, characters A, B, and C appear, but character B has a lower appearance ratio than character A, and character C has a lower appearance ratio than character B (for example, 7: 2: 1). With such a configuration, the appearance rate of the characters A to C is changed in addition to the change in the stay rate of the stage. Note that, for example, the appearance rate of the characters A to C in the background effect can be set as appropriate such that the character C related to the cut-in effect C with a high degree of AT expectation does not appear as a premier character in the background effect.

[Production sound processing]
Next, the effect sound processing executed by the sub-control unit 91 in the timer interrupt processing (sub) will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the effect sound output processing, the sub-control unit 91 first determines whether or not the first stop operation has been performed based on a command from the main control unit 41 (Se1).

  When the first stop operation is performed, it is determined whether or not the symbol “7” stops on the pay line LN (Se2). If “7” does not stop, the process ends. When "7" stops, stop sounds that can specify that "7" has stopped on the pay line LN are output from the speakers 53 and 54 (Se3). The output of the stop sound ends in a certain period.

  When the first stop operation has not been performed, it is determined whether or not the second stop operation has been performed (Se4). When the second stop operation is performed, it is determined whether a display result in which two “7” s are aligned on the winning line is derived (“7” tempai in the figure) (Se5). If "7" is not exceeded, the process ends. When "7" is overwhelmed, stop sounds that can specify that "7" has stopped on the payline LN are output from the speakers 53 and 54 (Se6). The output of the stop sound ends in a certain period.

  When the second stop operation has not been performed, it is determined whether the third stop operation has been performed (Se7). If the third stop operation has not been performed, the process ends. When the third stop operation is performed, it is determined whether or not a display result in which three “7” s are aligned on the winning line is derived (in the figure, “7s” are aligned) (Se8). If not, the process ends. When "7" is completed, it is determined whether the stop switch related to the third stop operation is released (Se9). When the stop switch related to the third stop operation is not released, that is, when the state where the stop switch is pressed is maintained, a stop sound that can specify that “7” has stopped on the pay line LN is output to the speaker. Output is continued from 53 and 54 (Se10). At this time, unlike Se3 and Se6, the stop sound is continuously output as long as the stop switch is pressed even after a certain period of time. When the stop switch related to the third stop operation is released, that is, when the state in which the stop switch is pressed is released, the winning sound that can specify that “7” is aligned on the winning line LN is output to the speaker 53. , 54 and the reel LEDs that illuminate the reels 2L, 2C, 2R from the back are blinked (Se11).

[Specific example when producing sound effects]
A specific example when the effect sound is output will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14A, when the game is started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R start rotating, and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is enabled. When the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is activated, the internal LED is turned on. In the figure, the state where the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are shaded indicates the state where the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are depressed and the internal LEDs are turned off.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, when the first stop operation is performed by the stop switch 8L and the symbol “7” is derived, it is specified that the symbol “7” is derived from the speakers 53 and 54. A possible “7” stop sound is output as a special effect. Specifically, a sound “Bisi” is output. At this time, the output of the stop sound of "7" ends even if the stop switch 8L is released even if the stop switch 8L is kept pressed.

  As shown in FIG. 14C, when the second stop operation is performed by the stop switch 8C and the symbol “7” is derived, the speakers 53 and 54 output a stop sound of “7”. Specifically, a sound “Bisi” is output. At this time, the output of the stop sound of "7" ends even if the stop switch 8L is released even if the stop switch 8C is kept pressed.

  As shown in FIG. 14D, when the third stop operation is performed by the stop switch 8R and the symbol “7” is derived, the speakers 53 and 54 output a stop sound of “7”. Specifically, a sound “Bisi” is output, but if the stop switch 8R is kept pressed, the output of the stop sound “7” continues without ending. Specifically, the sound "Bishi ~~" is continuously output.

  As shown in FIG. 14E, when the depression of the stop switch 8R is released, a winning sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54 because "7" is aligned on the winning line LN. Specifically, a special effect is executed by outputting a sound of “Jan” and blinking a reel LED that illuminates the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R from the back.

  At this time, the special effect may be changed to another mode, for example, by notifying that a privilege such as AT is given as the special effect. Also, an example is described in which a stop sound is output that can specify that the symbol “7” has been derived as a special effect, but a special effect such as blinking a reel LED when the symbol “7” is derived is provided. May be changed to a different mode.

[Modifications that develop cut-in effects]
Next, a modified example in which the cut-in effect is developed will be described. In the above-described embodiment, an example in which one type of cut-in effect is executed in one game has been described. However, in this modified example, one type of cut-in effect is executed in one game, and a plurality of types (in this example, (2 types) cut-in effects may be executed step by step. The expected degree of derivation of the symbol “7”, that is, the provision probability of the AT, which is a privilege, differs between when one type of cut-in effect is executed and when a plurality of types of cut-in effects are executed. In this modification, when the cut-in effect by the character A (hereinafter, referred to as cut-in effect A) evolves to the cut-in effect by the character B (hereinafter, cut-in effect B), only the cut-in effect B is performed. There are times when it is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the cut-in effect A changes from the cut-in effect A to the cut-in effect B by operating the start switch 7, the symbol “7” is displayed more than when the cut-in effect B is executed by operating the start switch 7. Is expected to be derived. That is, when the cut-in effect A changes from the cut-in effect A to the cut-in effect B by operating the start switch 7, the AT expectation is higher than when the cut-in effect B is executed by operating the start switch 7.

[About a specific example where cut-in production develops]
Next, a specific example of a modification in which the cut-in effect is developed will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 16 illustrates an example in which only the cut-in effect B is executed.

  It is assumed that the game is started in a state where the normal background 80 is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. The arrow in the figure indicates that the reel is rotating.

  As shown in FIG. 16B, when the game is started by operating the start switch 7 after setting the bet amount, a cut-in background 81 for a cut-in effect is displayed so as to be superimposed on the normal background 80. The cut-in background 81 is displayed so as to cross the center of the screen. Even when the cut-in background 81 is displayed, a part of the normal background 80 remains displayed. Then, when a predetermined period has elapsed after the cut-in background 81 is displayed, the cut-in effect B is started, and the character B is displayed on the cut-in background 81 and urges to derive the symbol “7”. The character 82 "Aim for 7!" Is displayed to be superimposed on the character B. In addition, a voice “Aim for 7!” Is output as the voice of the character B from the speakers 53 and 54. After that, the operation of the stop switch is validated.

  Next, an example in which the cut-in effect A changes to the cut-in effect B will be described with reference to FIG.

  It is assumed that the game is started in a state where the normal background 80 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. The arrow in the figure indicates that the reel is rotating.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, when the game is started by operating the start switch 7 after setting the bet amount, a cut-in background 81 for a cut-in effect is displayed so as to be superimposed on the normal background 80. The cut-in background 81 is displayed so as to cross the center of the screen. Even when the cut-in background 81 is displayed, a part of the normal background 80 remains displayed. Then, when a predetermined period elapses after the cut-in background 81 is displayed, the cut-in effect A is started, and the character A is displayed on the cut-in background 81 and urges to derive the symbol “7”. The character 82 "Aim for 7!" Is displayed to be superimposed on the character A. In addition, a voice of “Aim for 7!” Is output as the voice of the character A from the speakers 53 and 54. Then, the cut-in effect A ends, the cut-in effect B starts, the character B is displayed on the cut-in background 81, and "Aim for 7!" Which prompts the user to derive the symbol "7"! Is displayed so as to be superimposed on the character B. In addition, a voice “Aim for 7!” Is output as the voice of the character B from the speakers 53 and 54. After that, the operation of the stop switch is validated.

  In the present modification, an example is described in which the cut-in effect develops from the operation of the start switch 7 to the activation of the operation of the stop switch, but when the first stop operation or the second stop operation is performed. The cut-in effect may be developed at a timing different from that of the present modification, such as by developing the cut-in effect.

[Effects of the present embodiment]
Next, effects of the present embodiment will be described.

(1) In the present embodiment, the cut-in effect B related to the character B has a higher degree of advantage regarding the AT assignment than the cut-in effect A related to the character A. In the normal state, the appearance rate of the character A is higher than that of the character B (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 5 and 6B).
Therefore, since the appearance rate of the character A is higher than that of the character B, the character A is frequently seen while the character B is not seen as much as the character A. Therefore, it is possible to imagine that the cut-in effect related to the character B has a higher degree of advantage than the cut-in effect related to the character A, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(2) In the present embodiment, the image of “7” on the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed so as to be superimposed on the corresponding characters A to C (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 11).
Therefore, since the characters A to C and the display of the image “7” on the liquid crystal display 51 are superimposed, it is possible to easily recognize both displays.

(3) In the present embodiment, the cut-in effect C related to the character C has a higher degree of advantage than the cut-in effect B related to the character B, and the cut-in effect B related to the character B is the cut-in effect B related to the character A. The advantage is higher than in-effect A. In the normal state, the appearance rate of the character A is higher than that of the character B, and the appearance rate of the character B is higher than that of the character C (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 5 and 6B).
Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved.

(4) In the present embodiment, in each of the games when the cut-in effect is executed for two consecutive games, the cut-in effect associated with the character B is performed more than when the cut-in effect associated with the character A is executed. When it is executed, the degree of expected derivation of “7” is higher.
Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved.

(5) In the present embodiment, in the normal state, there are a plurality of stages including a mountain stage and a river stage. The river stage is a stage having a higher advantage than the mountain stage, and the character A appears on the mountain stage. The character B appears on the river stage, and the stay stage in the normal state is more on the mountain stage than on the river stage (in this example, the portion shown in FIG. 5).
Therefore, since the character B appears at the river stage having a higher degree of advantage than the mountain stage, the player feels that the cut-in effect related to the character B has a higher advantage than the cut-in effect related to the character A. Can be done.

(6) In the present embodiment, the result of the effect by the continuous effect is more successful when the cut-in effect b in the expected effect suggestion effect is executed than when the cut-in effect a in the expected effect effect is executed. The probability is high (in this example, the portion shown in FIG. 6A).
Therefore, it is possible to make the player expect the execution of the expected degree suggestion effect B.

(7) In the present embodiment, in a game in which a cut-in effect is executed and three “7” are derived, the stop switch is operated on a plurality of reels until three “7” are derived. It is possible to execute a specific effect related to the character corresponding to the cut-in effect (in this example, the output of a voice “reach!”) (In this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 11).
Therefore, by executing the specific effect even in the process of operating the stop switch for a plurality of reels, it is possible to suitably show the effect to the player.

(8) In the present embodiment, the cut-in effect B may be started by operating the start switch 7 or may evolve from the cut-in effect A (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 16 and 17). ).
Therefore, even if the cut-in effect A is executed, the player can be expected to execute the cut-in effect B.

(9) In the present embodiment, when the cut-in effect A changes to the cut-in effect B, the degree of expectation of deriving the symbol “7” is higher than when the cut-in effect B is executed by operating the start switch 7. (In this example, the part shown in FIG. 16).
Therefore, by providing an effect pattern with higher expectation, the interest of the game can be improved.

(10) In the present embodiment, in both the cut-in effect A and the cut-in effect B, after performing the flash display using the area where the image of “7” is displayed before displaying the image of “7” The image of “7” is displayed (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 11).
Therefore, the image of “7” can be noticed.

(11) In the present embodiment, the cut-in effect is an effect in which “7” is displayed after the corresponding character is displayed, and the flash display is performed at a timing when the display of the character corresponding to the cut-in effect is started. The process is started (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 11).
Therefore, the display of the image of “7” can be suitably displayed.

(12) In the present embodiment, the cut-in effect is an effect prompting the derivation of “7” by displaying an image of “7”, a display suggesting the action of the player, and voice of the character. When the display suggesting the action of the player is performed in the effect A, the content indicated by the display is output by the voice of the character A, and the display suggesting the operation of the player is performed in the cut-in effect B. In this case, the content different from the content indicated by the display is output by the voice of the character B (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 9 and 11).
Therefore, the display and the sound match in the cut-in effect A, but the display and the sound do not match in the cut-in effect B, so that the player can feel uncomfortable.

(13) In the present embodiment, the sound output by the character B in the cut-in effect B is common to a part of the sound output by the character A in the cut-in effect A (“target” in this example). In the example, portions shown in FIGS. 9 and 11).
Therefore, a part of the sound is common and the other part is not common.

(14) In the present embodiment, the blur processing is performed on the display of the image of “7” and the display suggesting the action of the player (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 11).
Therefore, the display of the image “7” and the display suggesting the operation can be easily recognized.

(15) In the present embodiment, the edge of the image of “7” displayed in the cut-in effect is different from the symbol “7” arranged on the reel (in this example, FIGS. 7, 9, and 11). Part shown).
Therefore, it is possible to clearly distinguish the display in the effect from the actual display, and the contents of the game can be easily understood.

(16) In the present embodiment, the image “7” displayed in the cut-in effect A and the image “7” displayed in the cut-in effect B are displayed at a common position (in this example, FIG. 7, the part shown in FIG. 9).
Therefore, by displaying the image of “7” at the common position in the cut-in effect A and the cut-in effect B, the player can easily understand which symbol should be stopped.

(17) In the present embodiment, in the cut-in effect A, an image “7” is displayed when a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the cut-in effect A, and in the cut-in effect B, the cut-in effect B When a predetermined period has elapsed from the start, the image of “7” is displayed (in this example, the portions shown in FIGS. 7 and 9).
Therefore, since the timing at which the image “7” is displayed is the same, it is possible to make it easier for the player to know which symbol should be stopped.
