Further, the sub-control unit 91 detects an operation on the effect switch 56, and controls the display of an image on the main display unit 51 and the sound output from the speakers 53 and 54 according to the detected operation.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player inserts medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operates the MAXBET switch 6 to set a specified number of bets. As a result, the pay line LN becomes effective, and the operation on the start switch 7 becomes effective, so that the game can be started. The winning line LN is a line for determining whether or not the combination of symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R displayed in the perspective window 3 matches the combination of winning symbols. In the present embodiment, only the pay line LN set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the middle of the reel 2L, the middle of the reel 2C, and the reel 2R, that is, the middle is defined as the pay line. A plurality of pay lines may be provided. In addition, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided to make it easy to recognize that the combination of the symbols constituting the winning is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main control unit 41. The internal lottery is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result combination) that is permitted to be derived. Allowing the derivation of the symbol combination by the internal lottery is also referred to as winning the role corresponding to the symbol combination.

  When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch stops. Thereby, the symbol combination is derived and displayed on the perspective window 3. When the symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped on the winning line LN, a winning corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

  Combinations in which a prize can be generated include a special combination (bonus), a small combination, and a replay combination. The special combination (bonus) is a combination in which the gaming state is controlled to a bonus state in which the probability of winning the small combination is higher than the non-bonus state by winning. The special combination (bonus) includes a first-class special combination such as RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus), and a second-class special combination such as CB (challenge bonus). In the present embodiment, a CB is provided as a special combination. The small role is a role to which a medal is given by winning. The replay role (replay) is a role in which a player can start a next game without consuming a medal owned by the player by winning.

  In order for the winning of each combination determined according to the game state to occur, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the combination. In the internal lottery, the main controller 41 determines whether or not to permit the winning of each of the above-mentioned roles before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7). At the time of detection) using a random number.

  In addition, among the winning flags of each role, the winning flag of the small role and the replaying role are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game, but the winning flag of the special role is The flag is valid until the combination of permitted combinations is completed, and is invalid in a game in which the combination of permitted combinations is completed. That is, once the special role winning flag is won, even if the combination of the roles permitted by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. ing.

  Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, operation order, operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. And a replaying combination (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as an AT target combination) can be won. The AT target combination includes, for example, a combination having a more advantageous stop mode than a stop mode in which when a stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode and a stop operation is performed in another operation mode, the stop mode is stopped. In addition, a role in which when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode that is determined in advance is higher than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed. Further, the advantageous stop mode includes not only a stop mode involving the provision of medals, but also a stop mode involving a transition to an advantageous game state, a stop mode for avoiding a transition to an adverse game state, and the like.

  The main control unit 41 can execute a navigation for notifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result. Specifically, the main control unit 41 can execute a navigation notification for notifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous to the player, based on the internal lottery result by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It can be controlled during an assist time (AT), which is a short notification period.

  When a predetermined lottery condition is established, the main control unit 41 performs an advantageous section lottery to determine whether or not to control to an advantageous section that is controlled to an advantageous state for the player. By winning the lottery, the control of the advantageous section is started from the end of the game in which the lottery condition for performing the advantageous section lottery is satisfied. During the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination (pushing order combination) according to the gaming state, thereby executing the navigation notification, which is advantageous to the player. The operation modes (eg, operation order, operation timing, etc.) of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are notified using the game auxiliary display 12, and a command capable of specifying an operation mode that is advantageous to the player is sub-controlled. By transmitting the operation mode to the unit 91, a navigation effect of notifying the operation mode using the main display unit 51 or the like is executed. Note that, unlike a section state in which navigation can be performed, such as an advantageous section, a state in which navigation cannot be performed is referred to as a normal section.

  The pushing sequence includes a pushing sequence bell in which a bell wins when the operation mode of the player matches an operation mode (hereinafter, also referred to as “correct answer procedure”) corresponding to the winning pressing mode, and an operation of the player. A push order lip in which a replay wins when the mode matches the operation mode corresponding to the winning push sequence is included. Hereinafter, the navigation that can be performed in the game in which the pushing order bell is won is also referred to as a bell navigation.

  By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the correct answer procedure in accordance with the bell navigation, the player can win the winning combination of the medals paid out among the winning combinations included in the pushing order bell. Among the roles included in the push order bell, the role that can be won when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the correct answer procedure is the “main role”, and the stop switch 8L, Combinations that can be won when 8C and 8R are operated are also referred to as “subcombinations”.

  By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the operation mode informed by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, it is possible to reliably win the pushing sequence won by the internal lottery. In the control of the advantageous section, the advantageous section LED 19 is turned on to notify that the control of the advantageous section is being performed.

[Transition of game state]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining transition of the gaming state. As shown in FIG. 3, the gaming state controlled by the main display unit 51 includes non-internal and internal states.

  Inside is a state in which the game can proceed and a payout rate of medals based on a predetermined design value is secured. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, most of the games are to be played inside the player.

  On the other hand, during non-inside, the player does not play a game, or even if a game is played, the time is extremely short. In the non-inside game, when the player wins the CB and loses the winning of the CB, the game state shifts to the inside game from the next game. That is, the inside is in a state in which the winning of the CB is carried over. Once the game state is controlled to be inside, the CB that has been carried over hardly wins, and the probability is extremely low, if any.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, CB is not shown as a gaming state, but if it is supposed to win a CB during non-inside or inside, if it is supposed to win a CB, the game is changed from non-inside or inside to CB State transitions. In this case, the CB generally ends in one game, and the gaming state shifts to the non-internal state again.

  The states in the inside include a non-AT and an AT. The non-AT is a state that is not controlled by the AT. On the other hand, the AT is in a state where the navigation notification and the navigation effect can be executed as described above. In a non-AT, the state is controlled by the AT when an AT lottery described later is won.

  Further, the states in the AT include a first state and a second state. When the state shifts from the non-AT to the AT, first, the state is controlled to a first state during the AT (hereinafter, also referred to as an AT first state). In the first state, the number of games (hereinafter, also referred to as the number of AT games) is fixed. For example, in the present embodiment, the number of AT games in the first state is predetermined to be 30G or 50G.

  In the first state, when the predetermined number of AT games has been exhausted, the state shifts from the first state to the second state (hereinafter, also referred to as an AT second state). In the second state, the number of AT games is undefined. Specifically, in the second state, the ally character battles with the enemy character, and when the ally character wins in the battle, the state shifts to the first state, while the ally character is defeated in the battle. Sometimes the AT ends and the state transitions to a non-AT.

  In order for the ally character to battle with the enemy character in the second state, life is required as the right to perform the battle. In the present embodiment, life can be obtained in the first state, but life cannot be obtained in the second state. That is, the player can acquire life while staying in the first state, and consume the life acquired in the first state in the second state, so that the ally character can battle with the enemy character. In the second state, the battle can be performed for the number of lives owned by the player, and even if the ally character loses to the enemy character in the battle, if the life remains, the ally character battles the enemy character again. Can be. If no life remains when the ally character defeats the enemy character, the AT ends and the state shifts to a non-AT.

  When the ally character defeats the enemy character in the second state and shifts to the first state, life can be obtained again in the first state. For this reason, as long as the life remains, it is also possible to repeatedly transition between the first state and the second state, and during that time, when the pushing order bell is won, bell navigation is performed, and the player By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the bell navigation, the net number of medals can be increased.

  Further, the first state includes a first section and a second section as sections in which the net number of medals is different. The first section is the first half of the first state in which the number of AT games is fixed (for example, 1G to 15G if the first state is 30G). The first section is a section in which bell navigation is performed less frequently than in the second section, and the net number of medals increased is lower than in the second section. For example, the number of net additions per G in the first section is one.

  On the other hand, the second section is the latter half of the first state in which the number of AT games is fixed (for example, 16G to 30G if the first state is 30G). The second section is a section in which bell navigation is performed more frequently than in the first section and the net number of medals is higher than in the first section. For example, the number of net additions per G in the second section is five.

  As described above, in the first section in the first state, the net number of medals increased is lower than in the second section, but instead, the life provision probability is higher than in the second section. Thereby, it is more advantageous for the player to stay in the first section in that life is easily provided, but it is more preferable to stay in the second section in that more medals can be obtained. It is advantageous.

  In the second state, as in the second section, the net increase in the number of medals is high. For example, the number of net additions per G in the second state is five as in the second section in the first state. Therefore, the player can acquire more medals during the battle in the second state.

  In the present embodiment, a BAR lip that wins when the BAR symbols are aligned is provided, and the winning of the BAR lip increases the advantage of the player. Specifically, in the first state, when the BAR lip wins, the life grant is determined, and in the second state, when the BAR lip wins, it is determined that the teammate character wins in the battle.

  In the series of ATs described above, after the number of games staying in the advantageous section (hereinafter also referred to as the number of advantageous G) reaches the predetermined number of games, the game is controlled to the ending state. The ending state is a state in which the control to the advantageous section is determined to be continued until the number of advantageous G reaches the upper limit of 1500 games. In the present embodiment, the ending state is controlled on condition that the number of ED transition Gs counted to shift to the ending state reaches 1400G. When the game is controlled to the ending state, the game in which the navigation is simply performed is repeated without giving the life and performing the battle until the advantageous G number reaches the upper limit of 1500 games. When the number of advantageous G reaches the upper limit of 1500 games, the advantageous section ends and the state shifts to non-AT.

In the name column of FIG. 4, the name of the winning combination is shown, and in the symbol combination column, the combination of the symbols in which the winning combination wins is shown. Further, in the symbol combination column aligned with the invalid line, a symbol combination which is a symbol combination that stops at the invalid line when the winning symbol combination stops at the winning line and which is easily recognized by the player is shown. ing. In the award column, the value awarded at the time of winning (medal payout number, replay award, etc.) is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a CB is provided as a special role. The small role is provided with a middle bell, a lower right bell, upper bells 1 to 8, a lower right watermelon, an upper watermelon, a middle watermelon, a lower cherry, and a single role. As the replaying game, a normal lip, a fake clip, and a BAR lip are provided.

  The middle bell and the downward-sloping bell are the role corresponding to the leading role described above, but the middle-stage bell has a larger number of payouts than the downward-sloping bell. For example, the payout number of the middle bell is eight, while the payout number of the downward bell is three. The upper bells 1 to 8 are the role corresponding to the above-mentioned sub role, and the number of payouts is smaller than that of the middle bell and the lower right bell.

  When a watermelon descending to the right wins, the watermelon symbols are lined down to the right along the invalid line LM3 on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. When the upper watermelon wins, the watermelon symbols are aligned in the upper row along the invalid line LM1 on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. When the middle watermelon wins, the watermelon designs are aligned in the middle along the winning line LN on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R.

  When the BAR lip is won, the BAR symbols are lined up rightward along the invalid line LM4 on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. When the prize prize is won, the BAR symbols are aligned right upward along the invalid line LM4 only on the reels 2C and 2R, but the BAR symbols are not stopped on the reel 2L.

[Lots to be drawn]
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining combinations of winning combinations read as lottery targets for each gaming state. In the role number column of FIG. 5, the role number determined for each lottery target role is shown, the name is displayed in the lottery target role column, and the winning combination combination field is included in each lottery target role. In the gaming state column, a circle indicates that the lottery target combination is a lottery target.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a CB is provided as a lottery target combination of special combinations. As lottery targets for small wins, there are provided a normal bell, 6-choice bells 1-6, 3-choice bells 1-3, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, and strong cherry. A normal lip, a special lip, and a special lip are provided as lottery targets for the replaying game.

  In the non-inside, all the roles can be won. However, in the inside, only the CB cannot be won because the winning of the CB has already been carried over.

[Reel control of pushing sequence]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining reel control at the time of winning a push. As shown in FIG. 6, among the pushing sequences, as the pushing sequence bells, 6-choice bells 1 to 6 and 3-choice bells 1 to 3 are provided. In the game in which the push order bell is won during the AT, the bell navigation is executed, and the correct procedure is notified to the player. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in the correct answer procedure according to the bell navigation, the player can win a winning combination that is advantageous for the player.

  For example, in a game in which one of the six-choice bells 1 to 6 is won, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the correct answer procedure, the middle bell, which is the leading role, wins, while the stop switch 8L in the incorrect answer procedure. , 8C, 8R are operated, the upper bell, which is the sub role, wins or loses the winning. In a game in which one of the three choice bells 1 to 3 is won, when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in the correct answer procedure, the right-downward bell, which is the leading role, wins, while the stop switch in the incorrect answer procedure. When 8L, 8C, 8R is operated, the upper row bell, which is the sub role, wins or loses the winning.

  Among the pushing sequences, a special lip and a special lip are provided as the pushing sequence lip. In the game in which the special lip is won, the BAR lip wins when the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L are operated in this order. Hereinafter, operating the stop switch 8R, the stop switch 8C, and the stop switch 8L in this order is also referred to as reverse pressing. On the other hand, in the game in which the special lip is won, the normal lip is won when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated other than in the reverse push. In the game in which the special lip has been won, a reverse push navigation may be performed to prompt the player to push in the reverse direction, and the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R according to the reverse push navigation. , BAR lip.

  In a game in which a special lip is won, a fake clip wins when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated by a reverse push, and a normal lip wins when the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is operated by a non-reverse push. I do.

[Various lottery on benefits]
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining various lottery tables related to benefits. The benefits in the present embodiment include the number of AT games that can be awarded during the non-AT, the life that can be awarded during the first state of the AT, and the one-shot victory in the battle that can be awarded during the second state of the AT.

(AT lottery)
The number of AT games can be given based on an AT lottery executed by the main control unit 41 during non-AT. FIG. 7A shows an AT lottery table referred to in the AT lottery. As shown in FIG. 7A, in the AT lottery, the expected value of the number of AT games per 1G differs depending on whether a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won and a strong watermelon or a strong cherry. .

  Specifically, the probability of the weak watermelon or the weak cherry winning in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the total probability is 1/50. When a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, a 30G AT game number is given with a 30% probability. Therefore, the expected value of the number of AT games per 1G for weak watermelon winning or weak cherry winning is 0.180G.

  On the other hand, the probability that the strong watermelon or the strong cherry will win in the internal lottery is 1/400, and the total probability is 1/200. When the strong watermelon or the strong cherry is won, the number of 30G AT games is given with a probability of 50%, and the number of AT games is given with a probability of 20%. Therefore, regarding the strong watermelon winning or the strong cherry winning, the expected value of the number of AT games per 1G is 0.125G.

(Life lottery)
The life can be given based on the life lottery executed by the main control unit 41 during the AT first state. FIG. 7B shows a life lottery table referred to in the life lottery in the first section in the AT first state. As shown in FIG. 7B, in the life lottery in the first section, a case where a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, a case where a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, and a case where a special lip is won are: The expected life value per 1G is different.

  Specifically, the probability of the weak watermelon or the weak cherry winning in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the total probability is 1/50. When a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, one life is given with a probability of 55%, and two lives are given with a probability of 10%. Accordingly, the expected value of life given per 1 G for the weak watermelon winning or the weak cherry winning is 0.015.

  In addition, the probability that the strong watermelon or the strong cherry will win in the internal lottery is 1/400, and the total probability is 1/200. In addition, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, two lives are given with a probability of 100%. Accordingly, the expected value of life given per 1G is 0.010 for the strong watermelon winning or the strong cherry winning.

  Further, the probability that the special lip will be won by the internal lottery is 1/10. When the special lip is won, one life is given with a probability of 35%, and two lives are given with a probability of 20%. Therefore, regarding the special lip winning, the expected life grant per 1G is 0.075.

  Each expected value in the weak watermelon and weak cherry elections, the strong watermelon and strong cherry elections, and the special lip election is summed up to 0.10. That is, in the first section in the AT first state, 0.1 life is provided to the player per 1G. Then, as shown in the pie chart of FIG. 17B, as the ratio of the role that triggers the life grant, 25% of rare role wins such as weak watermelon win, weak cherry win, or strong watermelon win or strong cherry win are obtained. And the special lip win is 75%.

  As described above, in the first section in the first state of the AT, among the lottery conditions, the special lip election is better than the rare role election such as the weak watermelon election, the weak cherry election, or the strong watermelon election or the strong cherry election. The expected life value per 1G is high.

  Note that, in the first section in the AT first state, when the life is given by the special lip winning, the reverse push navigation is executed in the game in which the special lip is won. For this reason, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the reverse push navigation, the BAR lip wins. That is, in the first section in the AT first state, the player is informed of the provision of life by winning the BAR lip.

  FIG. 7C shows a life lottery table referred to in the life lottery in the second section in the AT first state. As shown in FIG. 7C, in the life lottery in the second section, a case where a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, a case where a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, and a case where a special lip is won are: The expected life value per 1G is different.

  Specifically, the probability of the weak watermelon or the weak cherry winning in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the total probability is 1/50. When a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, one life is given with a probability of 32%. Therefore, the expected value of life given per 1 G for the weak watermelon winning or the weak cherry winning is 0.0064.

  In addition, the probability that the strong watermelon or the strong cherry will win in the internal lottery is 1/400, and the total probability is 1/200. When a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, one life is given with a probability of 60%, and two lives are given with a probability of 31%. Therefore, the expected value of life given per G is 0.0061 for strong watermelon winning or strong cherry winning.

  Further, the probability that the special lip will be won by the internal lottery is 1/10. When a special lip is won, one life is given with a probability of 27.5%, and two lives are given with a probability of 5%. Therefore, regarding the special lip winning, the expected life grant value per 1G is 0.0375 pieces.

  Each expected value in the weak watermelon election, the weak cherry election, the strong watermelon election, the strong cherry election, and the special lip election is 0.05 in total. That is, in the first section in the AT first state, 0.05 life is provided to the player per 1G. Then, as shown in the pie chart of FIG. 17C, as the ratio of the role which is the trigger of the life grant, the rare role election such as the weak watermelon election, the weak cherry election, or the strong watermelon election or the strong cherry election is 25%. And the special lip win is 75%.

  As described above, in the second section in the first state of the AT, among the lottery conditions, the special lip election is better than the rare role election such as the weak watermelon election, the weak cherry election, or the strong watermelon election or the strong cherry election. The expected life value per 1G is high.

  Further, in the AT first state, the expected life value per 1G in the first section is 0.1 while the expected life value per 1G in the second section is 0.05. Individual. Thus, the first section has a higher expected life value per 1 G than the second section.

  In the second section of the AT first state, when a life is given by the special lip winning, the reverse push navigation is executed in the special lip winning game. For this reason, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the reverse push navigation, the BAR lip wins. That is, in the second section in the AT first state, the player is suggested to give life by winning the BAR lip. Further, as described above, the first section has less frequent bell-navigation than the second section, but the first section has a higher expected life value per 1G than the second section. As a result, there is a high frequency of the reverse push navigation for winning the BAR lip for the special lip. For this reason, when some kind of navigation is performed, the probability that the navigation is a navigation for winning the BAR lip for the special lip, that is, the probability that the life is given is higher in the first section than in the second section. Has become.

(Blow victory lottery)
The blow victory in the battle can be given based on the blow victory lottery executed by the main control unit 41 during the AT second state. FIG. 7D shows a one-shot victory lottery table referred to in the one-shot victory lottery in the AT second state. As shown in FIG. 7D, in the one-stroke victory lottery in the second state of the AT, a case where a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, a case where a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, and a case where a special lip is won. And the probability of one-shot victory per 1G differs.

  Specifically, the probability of the weak watermelon or the weak cherry winning in the internal lottery is 1/100, respectively, and the total probability is 1/50. In addition, when a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won, a one-shot victory is given with a probability of 50%. Therefore, the probability of one-shot victory per 1G for weak watermelon winning or weak cherry winning is 1.0%.

  In addition, the probability that the strong watermelon or the strong cherry will win in the internal lottery is 1/400, and the total probability is 1/200. In addition, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry is won, a one-shot victory is given with a 100% probability. Therefore, the probability of one-shot victory per 1G for strong watermelon winning or strong cherry winning is 0.5%.

  Further, the probability that the special lip will be won by the internal lottery is 1/10. When the special lip is won, a one-shot victory is given with a probability of 50%. Therefore, the probability of a one-shot victory per 1G for the special lip election is 5.0%.

  As described above, during the AT second state, among the lottery conditions, the special lip election per 1G is higher than the rare role election such as the weak watermelon election, the weak cherry election, or the strong watermelon election or the strong cherry election. The probability of a single victory is higher.

  In the second state of the AT, if a one-stroke victory is given as a trigger of the special lip, the reverse push navigation is executed in the game in which the special lip is won. For this reason, when the player operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the reverse push navigation, the BAR lip wins. That is, during the AT second state, the player is suggested to be given a one-shot victory by winning the BAR lip.

[Direction lottery during non-AT]
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining various lottery tables relating to effects during non-AT. In the present embodiment, as an effect during non-AT, an effect executed by displaying an image on the main display unit 51 and an effect executed by displaying an image on the sub-display unit 61 are provided. ing. The effects performed on the main display unit 51 include effect displays shown in FIGS. 12 (c) and 14 (c) described later and corresponding displays shown in FIGS. 13 (g) and 15 (g) described later. included. The effect performed on the sub-display unit 61 includes an effect suggestion display shown in FIGS. 12 (b) and 14 (b) described later, and a development suggestion display shown in FIGS. 12 (f) and 14 (f) described later. And are included. Specific aspects of each effect will be described later.

(Direction display lottery)
The effect display can be executed based on an effect display lottery executed by the sub-control unit 91 during non-AT. FIG. 8A shows an effect display lottery table referred to in the effect display lottery during non-AT.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the effect display includes a first effect display in which an image of a snow cloud is displayed, a second effect display in which an image of a thundercloud is displayed, an image of a snow cloud, and a shutter. A third effect display in which the 52 operates and a fourth effect display in which the image of the thundercloud is displayed and the shutter 52 operates are included. In the production display lottery during non-AT, due to different probabilities depending on whether a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won and a strong watermelon or a strong cherry, one of the plurality of production displays is rendered. It is determined.

  Specifically, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry, which has a lower probability of winning in the internal lottery than a weak watermelon or a weak cherry, is won, the third effect display and the fourth effect display in which the shutter 52 operates are displayed on the shutter 52. Is executed with a higher probability than the first effect display or the second effect display in which the function does not operate. For this reason, when the shutter 52 is operated in the effect display, it is more likely that the strong watermelon or the strong cherry has been won, that is, the AT has been won than when the shutter 52 has not been operated. Can be suggested to the player.

(Corresponding display lottery)
The correspondence display can be executed based on the correspondence display lottery executed by the sub control unit 91 during the non-AT. FIG. 8B shows a correspondence display lottery table referred to in the correspondence display lottery during non-AT.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the correspondence display includes a first correspondence display in which a roulette image is displayed and a second correspondence display in which a treasure box image is displayed. In the corresponding display lottery during the non-AT, one of the plurality of types of corresponding displays is displayed depending on the probability that the weak watermelon or the weak cherry is won and the strong watermelon or the strong cherry is won. It is determined.

  Specifically, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry, which has a lower probability of winning in the internal lottery than a weak watermelon or a weak cherry, is won, the second corresponding display is executed with a higher probability than the first corresponding display. Therefore, when the image of the treasure chest is displayed in the corresponding display, it is more likely that the strong watermelon or the strong cherry has been won, that is, the AT has been won than when the image of the roulette is displayed. Is high to the player.

(Direction suggestion display lottery)
The effect suggestion display is a display suggesting an effect display performed on the sub display unit 61, and can be executed based on an effect suggestion display lottery executed by the sub control unit 91 during non-AT. FIG. 8C shows an effect suggestion display lottery table referred to in the effect suggestion display lottery during non-AT.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, the effect suggestion display includes a first effect suggestion display in which a character image of “NEXT” is displayed, a second effect suggestion display in which a character image of “CHANCE” is displayed, A third effect suggestion display in which a character image of “?” Is displayed and a fourth effect suggestion display in which a character image of “!” Is displayed are included. In the production suggestion display lottery during the non-AT, one of the multiple types of production suggestion display is provided due to different probabilities depending on whether a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won and a strong watermelon or a strong cherry. A suggestion is determined.

  Specifically, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry, which has a lower probability of winning in the internal lottery than a weak watermelon or a weak cherry, is won, the third effect suggestion display and the fourth effect suggestion display are replaced with the first effect suggestion display. And the second effect suggestion display is executed with a higher probability. For this reason, when a character image of “?” Or “!” Is displayed in the effect suggestion display, a stronger watermelon or a strong watermelon than a character image of “NEXT” or a character image of “CHANCE” are displayed. It can be suggested to the player that the strong cherry has been won, that is, the possibility that the AT has been won is high.

(Development suggestion display lottery)
The deployment suggestion display can be executed based on a deployment suggestion display lottery executed by the sub control unit 91 during non-AT. FIG. 8D shows a development suggestion display lottery table referred to in the development suggestion display lottery during non-AT.

  As shown in FIG. 8D, in the development suggestion display, a character image indicating that "roulette" or "treasure box" is selected is displayed. In the deployment suggestion display lottery during the non-AT, it is determined whether or not the deployment suggestion display is executed based on different probabilities when the weak watermelon or weak cherry is won and when the strong watermelon or strong cherry is won. You.

  Specifically, when a strong watermelon or a strong cherry has a lower probability of winning in an internal lottery than a weak watermelon or a weak cherry, a deployment suggestion is displayed with a higher probability than when a weak watermelon or a weak cherry is won. Is done. Therefore, when the deployment suggestion display is executed, the strong watermelon or the strong cherry is won, that is, the possibility that the AT is won is higher than when the deployment suggestion display is not performed. Can be suggested to the player.

[Direction lottery during AT]
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining various lottery tables related to the effects during the AT. In the present embodiment, an effect performed by displaying an image on the main display unit 51 is provided as an effect during AT. The effects during the AT include a first effect shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 described later that can be executed during the first state of the AT, and a second effect shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 described later that can be executed during the second state of the AT. Direction and is included. Further, the first effect includes a first fanning effect in which an image of a treasure box is displayed as shown in FIG. 20, and a first confirmed effect in which an image of a heart is displayed as shown in FIG. Further, in the second effect, a second swaying effect in which an image of a sword is displayed as a weapon of an ally character as shown in FIG. 22 and an image of a star-shaped rod as a weapon of an ally character are displayed as shown in FIG. And a second confirmed effect to be performed. Specific aspects of each effect will be described later.

(1st production lottery)
The first effect can be executed based on a first effect lottery executed by the sub control unit 91 during the AT first state. FIG. 9A shows a first effect lottery table referred to in the first effect lottery in the AT first state.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the first effect lottery in the AT first state is executed on condition that a special lip has been won. In addition, in the first production lottery, the probability that the special lip is won and the life is not given by the life lottery is different from the case where the special lip is won and the life is given by the life lottery. Whether or not the effect is to be performed and the type of the first effect to be performed are determined.

  Specifically, in the game in which the special lip has been won, when no life is given, the first fanning effect is executed with a probability of 50%, and the first confirmed effect is not executed. On the other hand, in the game in which the special lip has been won, when life is given, the first fanning effect is executed with a probability of 25%, and the first confirmed effect is executed with a probability of 50%.

  Thereby, when the first fanning effect is executed in the game in which the special lip has been won and the image of the treasure chest is displayed, it is possible to fan the player whether or not the life has been given. On the other hand, when the first confirmed effect is executed in the game in which the special lip has been won and the image of the heart is displayed, it is possible to definitely suggest to the player that life has been given. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 19 to be described later, even if life is given in a game in which a special lip is won, the first effect may not be executed with a probability of 25%, so the first effect is executed. Even if it is not performed, the player can be expected to be given a life.

(2nd production lottery)
The second effect may be executed based on a second effect lottery executed by the sub control unit 91 during the AT second state. FIG. 9B shows a second effect lottery table referred to in the second effect lottery in the AT second state.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the second effect lottery in the AT second state is executed on condition that a special lip has been won. Also, in the second production lottery, there is a different probability between the case where the special lip is won and the blow victory is not given by the blow victory, and the case where the special lip is won and the blow victory is given by the blow victory. This determines whether or not the second effect is to be performed, and the type of the second effect when the second effect is to be executed.

  Specifically, in the game in which the special lip has been won, when the one-shot victory is not given, the second fanning effect is executed with a probability of 50%, and the second confirmed effect is not executed. On the other hand, in the game in which the special lip has been won, when a blow is awarded, the second fanning effect is executed with a probability of 50%, and the second confirmed effect is executed with a probability of 50%.

  Thereby, when the second fanning effect is executed in the game in which the special lip has been won, and the image of the sword is displayed as the weapon of the ally character, it is possible to warn the player whether or not a one-shot victory has been given. On the other hand, when the second finalization effect is executed in the game in which the special lip has been won and the image of the star-shaped rod is displayed as the weapon of the ally character, it definitely indicates to the player that the blow victory is given. be able to.

[Navigation processing]
Next, a navigation process performed by the main control unit 41 will be described. The main control unit 41 can execute the navigation by executing the navigation processing. Here, in the present embodiment, the navigation point is used to determine whether or not to execute the navigation. As for the navigation point, the added navigation point is added when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and if the added navigation point is less than a specific value (100 pt in the present embodiment), the navigation is executed, and the navigation point is specified. If the value is more than the value, the navigation is not executed.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the added navigation point table. As shown in FIG. 10, different addition navi points are set according to the payout state during the AT. More specifically, an additional navigation point of 50 pt is set in the first section of the first state, 10 pt in the second section of the first state, 10 pt in the second state, and 70 pt in the ending state.

  The additional navigation point is the same and the smallest in the second section and the second state in the first state, and then the first section in the first state is the smallest and the ending state is the largest. As a result, the second section in the first state and the second state have the same highest frequency of execution of the bell navigation, and then the first section in the first state has the highest frequency and the ending state has the lowest. I have.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a navigation process performed by the main control unit 41. As shown in FIG. 11, the main control unit 41 first executes an internal lottery (S2). The main control unit 41 executes a process for changing the game state by setting a flag according to the game state (S4). The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the current section state is an advantageous section (S6). When the current section state is not an advantageous section (NO in S6), the main control unit 41 shifts to processing in a normal section (S8). Thereafter, the main control unit 41 ends the navigation processing.

  On the other hand, when the current section state is an advantageous section (YES in S6), the main control unit 41 adds 1 to the number of advantageous Gs (S10), and also adds 1 to the number of ED transition Gs (S12). The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the current payout state is different from the next payout state (S14). That is, the main control unit 41 determines whether the current state is different from the previous state. When the current ball-out state is different from the next ball-out state, that is, when the current state is different from the previous state (YES in S14), the main controller 41 initializes the navigation point to 0 (S14). S16).

  On the other hand, the main control unit 41 determines whether the current ball-out state is the same as the next ball-out state, that is, if the current state is the same as the previous state (NO in S14), or after S16, the current ball-out state. The state is set to be the same as the next payout state (S18).

  The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the payout state = AT and the ED flag is ON (S20). The ED flag is a flag indicating an ending state. When the payout state = AT and the ED flag is ON (YES in S20), the main control unit 41 sets an ED addition navigation point (S22). As a result, during the ending, 10 pt is added as the ending state addition point shown in FIG.

  The main control unit 41 determines whether or not the six-choice bell has been won (S24). When the 6-choice bell is won (YES in S24), the main control unit 41 adds an additional navi point corresponding to the payout state as shown in FIG. 10 to the navi point (S26). The main display unit 51 determines whether or not the navigation point is 100 or more (S28). When the navigation point is 100 or more (YES in S28), the main control unit 41 subtracts 100 pt from the navigation point (S30).

  On the other hand, when the navigation point is less than 100 (NO in S28), the main control unit 41 acquires the role number corresponding to the six-choice bell shown in FIG. 5 and notifies the navigation based on the role number. An instruction number (information for navigating) corresponding to the operation mode is specified, and the instruction number is stored in a predetermined storage area (S32). Thus, in the game in which the 6-choice bell is won, the navigation is executed with a 100% probability.

  On the other hand, when the six-choice bell has not been won (NO in S24), or after S32 or S32, the ball-out state is in the second section, and whether the three-choice bell has been won. Is determined (S34). When the ball is in the second section and the three-choice bell is won (YES in S34), the main display section 51 acquires the hand number corresponding to the three-choice bell shown in FIG. An instruction number (information for navigating) corresponding to the operation mode notified by the navigation based on the number is specified, and the instruction number is stored in a predetermined storage area (S36). As a result, when the payout state is the second section, in the game in which the three-choice bell is won, the navigation is executed with a 100% probability. In other words, when the payout state is the first section, the navigation is not performed even if the three-choice bell is won.

  On the other hand, the main control unit 41 determines that the ball is not in the second section or the three-choice bell has not been won (NO in S34), or after S34 or S36, the life lottery has been won or the one-stroke victory lottery has been won. It is determined whether or not a winning has been achieved and a special lip has been won (S38).

  When the main control unit 41 wins the life lottery or the one-stroke victory lottery and wins the special lip (YES in S38), the instruction number (information for navigating) corresponding to the operation mode notified by the navigation. That is, the instruction number corresponding to the reverse pressing is stored in a predetermined storage area (S40).

  On the other hand, the main control unit 41 proceeds to the processing of each payout state when the life lottery or the one-stroke victory lottery has not been won or the special lip has not been won (NO in S38), or after S40. The process proceeds (S42). Then, the main display unit 51 ends the navigation processing.

[Direction during non-AT]
The effect during non-AT will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Flow of production during non-AT)
FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 are diagrams for explaining the flow of the effect during non-AT. FIGS. 14 and 15 are diagrams for explaining an example of an effect during non-AT.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, in the previous game, background display is performed on the main display unit 51. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, an initial display is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, an image in which a balloon is flying in the sky is displayed on the main display unit 51 as a background display. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, four types of options such as "NEXT", "CHANCE", "?", And "!" Are displayed as an initial display.

  Thereafter, when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, an internal lottery is performed. At this time, it is assumed that the player wins a role such as a weak watermelon or a weak cherry, or a strong watermelon or a strong cherry, which triggers an AT lottery. In other words, in this game, the effect is to inspire the player as to whether or not an AT lottery has been won. Here, an example in which the strong watermelon is won is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the background display continues on the main display unit 51. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, an effect suggestion display indicating an effect display to be performed later on the main display unit 51 is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 14B, an image in which the balloon is flying in the sky is displayed on the main display unit 51 without changing the display mode. On the other hand, in the sub-display section 61, “!” Is selected from the options of “NEXT”, “CHANCE”, “?”, And “!” And is lit and displayed. The effect suggestion display in this example corresponds to the fourth effect suggestion display shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the first stop operation is performed, the main display unit 51 displays any one of a plurality of types of effect displays as the display suggested by the effect suggestion display. Display is performed. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the effect suggestion display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 14C, an image of a thundercloud is displayed on the main display unit 51. Further, the shutter 52 operates. The effect display in this example corresponds to the fourth effect display shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, the lighting display of "!" Is continued.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12D, when the second stop operation is performed, the effect display continues on the main display unit 51. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the effect suggestion display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 14D, the image of the thundercloud is displayed on the main display unit 51 without changing the display mode. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, the lighting display of "!" Is continued.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12E, when a third stop operation (in this example, pressing of the stop switch 8R) is performed, the result display is displayed on the main display unit 51 as a display subsequent to the effect display. Will be On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the effect suggestion display continues. For example, as shown in FIG. 14E, in the main display unit 51, an image of “!” Is displayed in the same manner as the effect suggestion display performed in the sub display unit 61, and the watermelon winning is selected. The image of the watermelon design suggesting is displayed. Further, the shutter 52 operates. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, the lighting display of "!" Is continued.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12 (f), when the third stop and release (in this example, the operation of releasing the press of the stop switch 8R) is performed, the result display is continued on the main display unit 51. On the other hand, on the sub-display unit 61, a development suggestion display for suggesting the development of the effect in the next game is performed. Note that, as shown in FIG. 8D, the development suggestion display may not be performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 14F, in the main display unit 51, the image of “!” Is displayed and the image of the watermelon pattern is displayed without changing the display mode. On the other hand, on the sub-display unit 61, a character image is displayed to inform the user of the selection of “roulette” or “treasure box”.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13 (g), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the sub-display unit 61 displays a plurality of options indicated by the development suggestion display in the previous game. Is displayed to select one of the options. In addition, when the development suggestion display is not performed in the previous game, the display mode is the initial display. On the other hand, in the main display unit 51, a corresponding display corresponding to the option selected in the selection display performed on the sub display unit 61 is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 15G, the image of “treasure box” is lit on the sub display unit 61. On the other hand, on the main display unit 51, an image of the treasure box is displayed so as to correspond to the selection display for selecting “treasure box” performed on the sub display unit 61. Note that the corresponding display in this example corresponds to the second corresponding display shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13H, when the first stop operation is performed, the corresponding display continues on the main display unit 51, but the display mode changes. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, the selection display is continued. For example, as shown in FIG. 15H, an image in which the treasure chest is slightly opened is displayed on the main display unit 51. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the image of the “treasure box” is lit and displayed without changing the display mode.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13 (i), when the second stop operation is performed, the corresponding display is continued on the main display unit 51. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, the selection display is continued. For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (i), an image in which the treasure box is slightly opened is displayed on the main display unit 51 without changing the display mode. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the image of the “treasure box” is lit and displayed without changing the display mode.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13 (j), when the third stop operation is performed, the privilege display presence / absence display indicating the result of whether or not the number of AT games as the privilege is provided on the main display unit 51. Is performed. On the other hand, in the sub display unit 61, the selection display is continued. For example, as shown in FIG. 15 (j), in the main display unit 51, a treasure chest is opened, and an image in which a cloud image with the letters “GET” appears is displayed. This suggests that the number of AT games is given. When the number of AT games is not provided, an image in which nothing appears from the treasure box is displayed on the main display unit 51 in the display of presence / absence of benefit. An image (for example, “30G” or “50G”) indicating the number of AT games to be provided may be displayed. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the image of the “treasure box” is lit and displayed without changing the display mode.

  As described above, in the effect during non-AT, the effect performed on the main display unit 51 and the effect performed on the sub-display unit 61 are linked with each other to indicate the result of the AT lottery. The attraction of the game can be improved by linking the produced effects.

(Difference in the degree of advantage depending on the presence or absence of the expansion suggestion)
FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining a difference in the degree of advantage depending on the presence or absence of a development suggestion display. FIGS. 16 (a1), (b1), and (c1) show examples in which a weak watermelon has been won during non-AT and no deployment suggestion display is performed. FIGS. 16 (a2), (b2), and (c2) show examples in which a strong watermelon is won during non-AT and a deployment suggestion display is performed.

  First, an example in which the corresponding display is performed without performing the development suggestion display will be described. As shown in FIG. 16 (a1), when the third stop operation is performed in the game in which the weak watermelon has been won to derive the symbol combination of the watermelon descending right, the result is displayed on the main display unit 51, and the sub display is displayed. On the display unit 61, an effect suggestion display is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16 (b1), even if the third stop / release is performed, the production mode continues in both the main display unit 51 and the sub display unit 61. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16 (c1), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the expansion suggestion display is not performed on the sub display unit 61 in the previous game, and the main display unit 51 does not perform the expansion suggestion display. A corresponding display is performed.

  Next, an example will be described in which the correspondence display is performed after the development suggestion display is performed. As shown in FIG. 16 (a2), when the third stop operation is performed in the game in which the strong watermelon has been won and the symbol combination of the middle watermelon is derived, the result display is performed on the main display unit 51 and the sub display is performed. In the section 61, an effect suggestion display is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16 (b2), when the third stop and release is performed, the rendering mode is continued on the main display unit 51, while the expansion suggestion display is performed on the sub display unit 61. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16 (c2), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the corresponding display corresponding to the development suggestion display performed on the sub-display unit 61 in the previous game becomes the main display. This is performed on the display unit 51.

  As described above, the development suggestion no pattern in which the corresponding display is performed on the main display unit 51 without performing the development suggestion display on the sub display unit 61, and the main display unit 51 after the development suggestion display is performed on the sub display unit 61. , There is a development suggestion pattern in which a corresponding display is performed, and the development suggestion pattern is a pattern having a higher degree of advantage with respect to the grant of the privilege than the development suggestion no pattern. For example, as shown in FIG. 8D, in the present embodiment, in the case of a strong watermelon winning with a high probability of winning in the AT lottery, a weak probability of winning in the AT lottery is lower than in the strong watermelon winning. With a higher probability than in the case of winning the watermelon, it is easy to become a development suggestion pattern. For this reason, the player can be made to pay attention to either the development suggestion no pattern or the development suggestion pattern, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(Differences in advantage due to different display patterns)
FIG. 17 is a diagram for describing a difference in advantage due to a difference in effect display pattern. Note that the flow from FIG. 17 (a) to FIG. 17 (b1) is a case where the weak watermelon is won during non-AT, and after the specific effect suggestion display is performed, the first effect display is performed as the effect display. Here is an example of such a case. The flow from FIG. 17 (a) to FIG. 17 (b2) is a case where the strong watermelon is won during non-AT, and after the specific effect suggestion display is performed, the second effect display is performed as the effect display. Here is an example of the case.

  First, an example in which the first effect display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 17A, when a start operation is performed, a background display is performed on the main display unit 51, while a fourth effect suggestion display is performed on the sub-display unit 61. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17 (b1), when the first stop operation is performed, a watermelon symbol is derived to the upper stage of the left reel 2L as a part of the symbol combination corresponding to the weak watermelon. In the main display section 51, a first effect display is performed. For example, the main display unit 51 displays an image of a snow cloud. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

  Next, an example in which the second effect display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 17A, when a start operation is performed, a background display is performed on the main display unit 51, while a fourth effect suggestion display is performed on the sub-display unit 61. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17 (b2), when the first stop operation is performed, a watermelon symbol is derived to the middle stage of the left reel 2L as a part of the symbol combination corresponding to the strong watermelon. In the main display section 51, a second effect display is performed. For example, on the main display unit 51, an image of a thundercloud is displayed. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

  As described above, the case where the first effect display is performed on the main display unit 51 after the specific effect suggestion display (the fourth effect suggestion display in this example) is performed on the sub display unit 61 is the same as the case where the first effect display is performed on the sub display unit 61. After the specific effect suggestion display (in this example, the fourth effect suggestion display) is performed, the second effect display may be performed on the main display unit 51. In the case where the second effect display is performed, the first effect display may be performed. The advantage regarding the grant of the privilege is higher than the case where the display is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the present embodiment, in the case of a strong watermelon winning with a high probability of winning in the AT lottery, a weak probability of winning in the AT lottery is lower than in the strong watermelon winning. The second effect display is more easily performed with a higher probability than in the case of winning the watermelon. For this reason, the player can be made to pay attention to which of the first effect display and the second effect display is performed after one effect suggestion display is performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(Differences in the degree of advantage due to differences in the production suggestion pattern)
FIG. 18 is a diagram for describing a difference in the degree of advantage due to a difference in the pattern of the presentation suggestion display. FIGS. 18 (a1) and (b1) show an example in which a weak watermelon is won during non-AT and a specific effect display is performed after the first effect suggestion display is performed as the effect suggestion display. 18 (a2) and (b2) show an example in which a strong watermelon is won during non-AT and a specific effect display is performed after the second effect suggestion display is performed as the effect suggestion display. Show.

  First, an example in which the first effect suggestion display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 18 (a1), when the start operation is performed, the background display is performed on the main display unit 51, while the first effect suggestion display is performed on the sub display unit 61. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18 (b1), when the first stop operation is performed, a watermelon symbol is derived to the upper stage of the left reel 2L as a part of the symbol combination corresponding to the weak watermelon. In the main display section 51, a fourth effect display is performed. For example, the main display unit 51 displays an image of a snow cloud. Further, the shutter 52 operates. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

  Next, an example in which the second effect suggestion display is performed will be described. As shown in FIG. 18A2, when the start operation is performed, the background display is performed on the main display unit 51, while the second effect suggestion display is performed on the sub display unit 61. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18 (b2), when the first stop operation is performed, the watermelon symbol is derived to the middle stage of the left reel 2L as a part of the symbol combination corresponding to the strong watermelon. In the main display section 51, a fourth effect display is performed. For example, on the main display unit 51, an image of a thundercloud is displayed. Further, the shutter 52 operates. On the other hand, in the sub-display unit 61, the effect suggestion display continues.

  As described above, the specific effect display (the fourth effect display in this example) is performed on the main display unit 51 after the first effect suggestion display is performed on the sub-display unit 61, and the second effect display is performed on the sub-display unit 61. After the effect suggestion display is performed, a specific effect display (fourth effect display in this example) may be performed on the main display unit 51 in the same manner. When the second effect suggestion display is performed, the first effect suggestion may be performed. The advantage regarding the grant of the privilege is higher than the case where the display is performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, in the present embodiment, in the case of a strong watermelon winning with a high probability of winning in the AT lottery, a weak probability of winning in the AT lottery is lower than in the strong watermelon winning. The second effect suggestion display is more likely to be performed with a higher probability than in the case of winning the watermelon. For this reason, when the same specific effect display is performed after the different effect suggestion displays are performed, the player is asked whether the effect is via the first effect suggestion display or the second effect suggestion display. Attention can be paid, and the interest of the game can be improved.

[Direction during AT]
The effect during the AT will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Example of the case where there is no first effect during the first state during AT)
FIG. 19 is a diagram for describing an example of an effect when the first effect is not executed in the first state during the AT. FIGS. 19A to 19E show examples in which a special lip is won and a life is given in the AT first state. FIGS. 19 (a) to (e2) show an example of a case where the pushing order bell is won in the AT first state.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the AT first state, in the display area of the main display unit 51, a remaining G number area 51a indicating the number of remaining games in the AT first state, and a life indicating the number of currently owned lives. The number area 51b is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, an effect image corresponding to the AT first state is displayed on the main display unit 51. For example, in this example, an effect image indicating that the character is flying in space is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, a navigation image (in this example, “3”, “2”, “1”) prompting a reverse push is provided as a navigation effect. Is displayed on the main display unit 51. When the special lip is won and the life is given, such a reverse push navigation is performed. Also, when the 6-choice bell 6 among the pressing order bells is won, such reverse push navigation is performed. Therefore, even if the reverse push navigation is performed, the player is asked whether the special lip has been won and the life has been granted, or whether the push order bell has been won. It has become unrecognizable.

  As shown in FIGS. 19 (c1) and (d1), when the special lip is won and the life is given, the first stop operation is performed, and then, when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is changed. Derived. The effect of the main display unit 51 and the sub display unit 61 does not change.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (e1), when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbols are aligned upward and the BAR lip is won. Further, on the main display unit 51, an effect image in which the character catches a heart corresponding to life and a character image of "life GET" are displayed. This series of effects corresponds to a case where the first effect shown in FIG. 9A is not performed.

  As described above, there is a pattern in which the first press is not performed while the reverse push navigation corresponding to the special lip winning is performed. In such a case, the life is suddenly reduced when the third stop operation is performed. Is provided to the player. Thereby, a surprising game can be provided to the player.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 19 (c2) and (d2), when the pressing order bell is won, a first stop operation is performed, and then, when a second stop operation is performed, a bell symbol is derived. The effect of the main display unit 51 and the sub display unit 61 does not change.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (e2), when the third stop operation is performed, the bell symbols are aligned in the middle row, and the middle bell wins. The effect of the main display unit 51 and the sub display unit 61 does not change.

  As described above, even if the special lip is won and the life is given, or even if the push order bell is simply won, there is a pattern in which the reverse push navigation is performed. The player can pay attention to the effect when performing the stop operation.

(Example of the case where the first fanning effect was performed during the first state during AT)
FIG. 20 is a diagram for describing an example of an effect when the first fanning effect is executed in the first state during the AT. 20 (a) to (e1) show an example of a case where a special lip is won and a life is given in the AT first state. 20 (a) to (e2) show an example of a case where a fake clip is won in the AT first state.

  As shown in FIG. 20A, an effect image corresponding to the AT first state is displayed on the main display unit 51. For example, in this example, an effect image indicating that the character is flying in space is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, a navigation image ("3", "2", "1" in this example) prompting a reverse push as a navigation effect. Is displayed on the main display unit 51. When the special lip is won and the life is given, such a reverse push navigation is performed. In addition, such a reverse-push navigation may be performed even when a fake clip is won. For this reason, even if the reverse push navigation is performed, the player cannot recognize whether the special lip has been won and the life has been given, or whether the fake clip has just been won. It has become.

  Further, in the main display section 51, the image of the treasure box is displayed in a large size. As shown in FIG. 9A, when the special lip is won and the life is given, the first fanning effect in which the image of the treasure box is displayed may be performed. In addition, even when the fake clip is won, such a treasure chest image similar to the first fanning effect may be displayed as a so-called gassing effect. Therefore, even if the image of the treasure chest is displayed, the player cannot recognize whether the special lip has been won and the life has been granted, or whether the fake lip has simply been won. It has become.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 20C, when the first stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and an image in which the treasure box is reduced is displayed on the main display unit 51. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 20D, when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived in the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and an image in which the treasure box is slightly opened on the main display unit 51 is displayed. As described above, even when the special lip is won and the life is given, or when the fake lip is won, the BAR symbols are aligned to the right and the effect on the main display unit 51 is the same. For this reason, the player cannot recognize whether the special lip has been won and the life has been given, or whether the fake clip has just been won.

  When the special lip has been won and the life has been granted, as shown in FIG. 20 (e1), when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, so that it rises to the right. There are BAR patterns. Further, on the main display section 51, an effect image in which a heart corresponding to life appears from the treasure chest and a character image of "LIFE GET" are displayed.

  On the other hand, when the fake clip is won, as shown in FIG. 20 (e2), when the third stop operation is performed, the replay symbol is derived at the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and the BAR symbols do not line up to the right. Further, on the main display unit 51, an effect image indicating that the treasure chest is empty is displayed. In this case, no life is given.

  Thus, even if the special lip is won and the life is given, or if the fake lip is won, a common effect is performed and the common effect is performed until the third stop operation is performed. Is performed, the player can pay attention to the effect when the third stop operation is performed last.

(Example of when the first confirmed effect is performed during the first state during AT)
FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of an effect in the case where the first confirmed effect is executed in the first state during the AT. FIG. 21 shows an example in which the special lip is won and the life is given in the AT first state.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, an effect image corresponding to the AT first state is displayed on the main display unit 51. For example, in this example, an effect image indicating that the character is flying in space is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, a navigation image ("3", "2", "1" in this example) prompting a reverse push as a navigation effect. Is displayed on the main display unit 51.

  Further, on the main display unit 51, an image of a heart corresponding to life is displayed in a large size. As shown in FIG. 9A, the first confirmed effect in which such a heart image is displayed may be performed only when the special lip is won and the life is given. Thereby, it is possible to definitely suggest to the player that the life is given.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 21C, when the first stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and an image in which the heart is reduced is displayed on the main display unit 51. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 21D, when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived in the middle of the middle reel 2C, and an image in which the heart is further reduced is displayed on the main display unit 51.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 21E, when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbols are derived to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, so that the BAR symbols are aligned to the right ascending. Further, on the main display unit 51, an effect image in which the character catches the heart is displayed.

  As described above, when the special lip is won and the life is given, an effect for determining that the life is given may be performed. People can enjoy joy.

(Example of the case where the second fanning effect was performed during the second state during AT)
FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining an example of the effect in the case where the second fanning effect is executed in the second state during the AT. 20 (a) to (e1) show an example in which the special lip is won and the one-shot victory is given in the AT second state. 20 (a) to (e2) show an example of a case where a fake clip is won in the AT first state.

  As shown in FIG. 22A, an effect image indicating that an ally character has been defeated by an enemy character in a battle performed in a certain game is displayed on the main display unit 51. In addition, the main display unit 51 displays a life count area 51b indicating the number of lives currently owned and an HP area 51c indicating the physical strength (HP) of the enemy character. At this point, you have two lives.

  In a battle, if all the enemy characters 'HPs are eliminated, the ally character wins. On the other hand, if the ally character is defeated before all the enemy characters' HPs are exhausted, the ally character is defeated. In a battle, an ally character attacks or an enemy character attacks according to the result of the internal lottery. For example, an ally character attacks when a small role such as a normal bell is won, and an enemy character attacks when a normal game such as a lip is won. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, only when the special lip is won, a one-shot victory is achieved, all HP of the enemy character is lost, and the ally character wins.

  As shown in FIG. 22B, when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the next battle is started by consuming one life. At this time, a navigation image (numerical images of “3”, “2”, and “1” in this example) that prompts a reverse push is displayed on the main display unit 51 as a navigation effect. When the special lip is won and one blow victory is given, such a reverse push navigation is performed. In addition, such a reverse-push navigation may be performed even when a fake clip is won. For this reason, even if the reverse navigation is performed, the player recognizes whether the special lip has been won and the blow victory has been given, or whether the fake lip has just been won. I cannot do it. Further, the main display unit 51 displays an image in which the ally character and the enemy character face each other. The ally character is equipped with a sword as a weapon.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 22C, when the first stop operation is performed, a BAR symbol is derived on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and the ally character holding the sword fights the enemy character in the main display unit 51. Is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 22D, when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived to the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the effect mode continues in the main display unit 51.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, when the special lip is won and the blow victory is given, an image indicating that such an ally character is fighting an enemy character with a sword is displayed. In some cases, a second fanning effect is performed. In addition, even when the fake clip is won, an image indicating that such an ally character is fighting an enemy character with a sword, similar to the second fanning effect, may be displayed as a so-called gassing effect. For this reason, even if an image indicating that the ally character is fighting with the enemy character with a sword is displayed, whether special lip has been won and one-shot victory has been given, or simply fake lip has been won The player cannot recognize whether or not the player is playing.

  In the case where the special lip is won and the blow victory is given, as shown in FIG. 22 (e1), when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and the right is obtained. BAR patterns are aligned on the rise. Further, on the main display unit 51, an effect image in which an ally character swings a sword to attack an enemy character and a character image of “WIN” are displayed. Further, in the HP area 51c, the HP of the enemy character has completely disappeared.

  Thereafter, since the ally character has won the battle, the state shifts from the second state to the first state again, and the life is accumulated again in the first state.

  On the other hand, when the fake clip is won, as shown in FIG. 22 (e2), when the third stop operation is performed, the replay symbol is derived at the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and the BAR symbol does not line up to the right. Further, on the main display unit 51, an effect image in which the ally character is attacked by the enemy character is displayed. In this case, since the enemy character does not fall down, the game shifts to the next game in the second state. Then, the game in the second state continues until the life is exhausted.

  In this way, even if the special lip is won and the blow victory is given, or if the fake lip is won, a common effect is performed until the third stop operation is performed, and Since the common navigation is performed, the player can pay attention to the effect when the third stop operation is performed last.

(Example of when the second confirmed effect is performed during the second state during AT)
FIG. 23 is a diagram for describing an example of an effect when the second confirmed effect is executed in the second state during the AT. FIG. 23 shows an example in which the special lip is won and the one-shot victory is given in the second state of the AT.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, the main display unit 51 displays an effect image indicating that an ally character has been defeated by an enemy character in a battle performed in a certain game. In addition, the main display unit 51 displays a life count area 51b indicating the number of lives currently owned and an HP area 51c indicating the physical strength (HP) of the enemy character. At this point, you have two lives.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (b), when a start operation for starting the next game is performed, the next battle starts by consuming one life. At this time, a navigation image (numerical images of “3”, “2”, and “1” in this example) that prompts a reverse push is displayed on the main display unit 51 as a navigation effect. Further, the main display unit 51 displays an image in which the ally character and the enemy character face each other. The ally character is equipped with a star rod as a weapon.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 23C, when the first stop operation is performed, a BAR symbol is derived on the upper stage of the right reel 2R, and the ally character having the star-shaped rod in the main display unit 51 becomes the enemy character. The image of fighting is displayed. As shown in FIG. 9 (b), only when the special lip has been won and the one-shot victory has been given, the second confirmed effect in which the image of the ally character having such a star-shaped rod is displayed. May be done. Thereby, it is possible to definitely suggest to the player that the blow victory is given.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 23 (d), when the second stop operation is performed, the BAR symbol is derived to the middle stage of the middle reel 2C, and the effect mode continues on the main display unit 51.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 23 (e), when the third stop operation is performed, the BAR symbols are derived to the lower stage of the left reel 2L, so that the BAR symbols are aligned upward to the right. Further, on the main display section 51, an effect image in which the ally character attacks the enemy character by a special technique using the star-shaped rod and a character image of “WIN” are displayed. Further, in the HP area 51c, the HP of the enemy character has completely disappeared.

  Thereafter, since the ally character has won the battle, the state shifts from the second state to the first state again, and the life is accumulated again in the first state.

  As described above, when the special lip is won and the blow victory is given, a performance may be performed to determine that the blow victory is provided. , So that the player can enjoy the joy.

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

(1-1) A gaming machine (eg, a slot machine 1, a pachinko gaming machine) for performing a game,
A first display area for displaying an image (for example, main display unit 51);
A second display area (for example, a sub-display unit 61) for displaying an image,
An effect suggestion display indicating an effect display performed in the first display area is performed in the second display area (for example, a display mode of the sub-display unit 61 illustrated in FIGS. 12B and 14B).

The development suggestion pattern has a higher advantage in providing a benefit than the non-development suggestion pattern (for example, when the deployment suggestion display is performed, the AT lottery is performed more than when the development suggestion display is not performed). The probability of winning is high).

  Specifically, a development suggestion no pattern in which the corresponding display is performed on the main display unit 51 without performing the development suggestion display on the sub display unit 61, and a main display unit after the development suggestion display is performed on the sub display unit 61 There is a development suggestion pattern in which a corresponding display is performed at 51, and the development suggestion pattern is a pattern having a higher probability of winning in the AT lottery than the development suggestion no pattern. Thereby, the player can be made to pay attention to either the development suggestion no pattern or the development suggestion pattern, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(1-8) In the gaming machine of (1-7),
In the case of the pattern with development suggestion, the corresponding display is performed in the first display area in the next game, and in the case of the pattern without development suggestion, the corresponding display in the first game area in the next game. (For example, the display mode of the main display unit 51 and the sub-display unit 61 shown in FIG. 16),
In the case of the development suggestion pattern, the advantage regarding the provision of the privilege is higher than in the case of the development suggestion non-pattern (for example, when the development suggestion display is performed, compared to when the development suggestion display is not performed). , The probability of winning in the AT lottery is high).

  Specifically, a development suggestion no pattern in which the corresponding display is performed on the main display unit 51 without performing the development suggestion display on the sub display unit 61, and a main display unit after the development suggestion display is performed on the sub display unit 61 There is a development suggestion pattern in which the corresponding display is performed at 51, and the development suggestion pattern has a higher probability of winning in the AT lottery than the development suggestion no pattern. Thereby, the player can be made to pay attention to either the development suggestion no pattern or the development suggestion pattern, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(1-9) In the gaming machine of (1-1) to (1-8),
When a first effect display of the effect display is performed in the first display area after a specific effect suggestion display of the effect suggestion display is performed in the second display area (see, for example, FIG. ), (B1) patterns, and the second effect display of the effect display is performed in the first display area after the specific effect suggestion display is performed in the second display area (for example, 17 (a) and 17 (b2)), the advantage regarding the grant of the privilege is different (for example, when the second effect display is performed, compared to when the first effect display is performed). The probability of winning in the AT lottery is high.)

  Specifically, the first effect display is performed on the main display unit 51 after the specific effect suggestion display (the fourth effect suggestion display in this example) is performed on the sub-display unit 61, and the first effect display is performed on the sub-display unit 61. Similarly, after a specific effect suggestion display (fourth effect suggestion display in this example) is performed, the second effect display may be performed on the main display unit 51, and when the second effect display is performed, the first effect display may be performed. The probability of winning in the AT lottery is higher than in the case where the effect display is performed. This allows the player to pay attention to which of the first effect display and the second effect display is performed after the one effect suggestion display is performed, and the interest of the game can be improved.

(1-10) In the gaming machine of (1-1) to (1-9),
In the case where a specific effect display of the effect display is performed in the first display area after the first effect suggestion display of the effect suggestion display is performed in the second display area (see, for example, FIG. ), (B1) patterns) and the specific effect display is performed in the first display area after the second effect suggestion display of the effect suggestion displays is performed in the second display area ( For example, in the patterns shown in FIGS. 18 (a2) and (b2), the advantages relating to the giving of the privilege are different (for example, when the second effect suggestion display is performed, the first effect suggestion display is performed). Than in the AT lottery).

  More specifically, a specific effect display (fourth effect display in this example) is performed on the main display unit 51 after the first effect suggestion display is performed on the sub display unit 61, and a second effect display is performed on the sub display unit 61. After the second effect suggestion display is performed, a specific effect display (fourth effect display in this example) may be performed on the main display unit 51 in the same manner. When the second effect suggestion display is performed, the first effect is displayed. The probability of winning in the AT lottery is higher than when the suggestion display is performed. Thereby, when the same specific effect display is performed after the different effect suggestion displays are performed, the player is notified about which of the first effect suggestion display and the second effect suggestion display the effect has passed. Attention can be paid, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  The techniques described in (1-1) to (1-10) above may be applied to a so-called pachinko game machine. For example, in a pachinko game machine, a jackpot, a probability fluctuation state in which the probability of occurrence of a jackpot is higher than usual, and the time from the rotation of the symbol to the stop is reduced or the lottery is performed in a short time, or The privilege is exemplified to be controlled to a state that is advantageous to the player, such as a state in which a prize is supported at the starting opening by opening an ordinary electric accessory (such as an electric tulip) (a so-called electric tue support). be able to. Also, the higher the probability of winning in these states, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Alternatively, it can be said that the higher the expected value of the awarded game ball is, the higher the advantage of the privilege is. Furthermore, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, the above-described effect display may be performed in one or more variable displays executed when the hold for performing the variable display of the symbol is exhausted. The above-described effect display may be performed when a pre-reading notice for a hold scheduled to be consumed later indicates a bonus such as a big hit.

(2-1) a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each of which can be identified,
After variably displaying the variable display unit, the variable display unit stops displaying the variable display to derive a display result, and a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) capable of generating a prize according to the display result includes:
State control means (for example, by the main control unit 41) for controlling to one of a plurality of types of states including a first state (for example, the first state shown in FIG. 3) and a second state (the second state shown in FIG. 3). State control process)
In the first state, a right (for example, life) that can be consumed in the second state can be granted based on the specific display result being derived (for example, a BAR lip has won in the first state) Sometimes life is granted),
In the second state, the state is controlled again from the second state to the first state based on the derived specific display result (for example, when the BAR lip wins in the second state, the state changes to the first state). And the state is controlled again),
In the first state, a first effect that suggests derivation of the specific display result (for example, a first stir effect shown in FIG. 20 and a first confirmed effect shown in FIG. 21) is executed,
In the second state, a second effect that suggests derivation of the specific display result (for example, a second fanning effect shown in FIG. 22 and a second finalizing effect shown in FIG. 23) is executed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 20 to 23, by acquiring life in the first state during the AT and consuming the acquired life, the ally character and the enemy character are obtained in the second state of the AT. And if the enemy character is defeated, it is possible to shift to the first state again. In the first state, the life is given when the BAR design is completed and the BAR design is completed, and in the second state, when the BAR design is completed and the BAR design is completed, the ally is provided when the BAR design is completed. The character wins the battle. Further, in the first state, it is suggested that a BAR lip is won by executing the first fanning effect or the first confirmed effect, and in the second state, the second fanning effect or the second finalized effect is executed. It is suggested that the player wins the BAR lip. As described above, in both the first state and the second state, it is important for the player to win the BAR lip, and the player may pay attention to whether or not to win the BAR lip. it can. Furthermore, since the effect which suggests winning of a BAR lip is performed so as to correspond to each of the first state and the second state, the interest of the game can be improved. Thereby, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by providing a game rich in the game property.

(2-2) In the slot machine of (2-1),
Deriving operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive a display result;
Notification means (for example, navigation processing by the main control unit 41 and the sub-control unit 91) for performing operation mode notification (for example, navigation) for notifying the operation mode (for example, operation sequence, operation timing) of the derivation operation means. Further comprising
In a specific game (for example, a special lip winning game) from which the specific display result is derived, the operation mode notification is performed,
The operation mode notified by the operation mode notification is common to the specific game in which the first effect is executed and the specific game in which the second effect is executed (for example, in FIGS. 20 to 23). As shown, in the first state, the game in which the first fanning effect and the first confirmed effect are executed, and in the second state, the game in which the second fanning effect and the second confirmed effect are executed, both of which have the reverse push navigation. Is done).

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, a game in which the first fanning effect or the first confirmed effect is executed in the first state, and a second fanning effect or the second confirmed effect is executed in the second state. In the game to be played, the navigation of the reverse push is performed. Thereby, it is possible to more easily attract the player's attention to the stir-up effect and the fixed effect that indicate the BAR lip winning, which are performed so as to correspond to each of the first state and the second state.

(2-3) In the slot machine of (2-2),
In the specific game in the first state, a pattern in which the first effect is executed (for example, a first fanning effect shown in FIG. 20 or a pattern in which a first confirmed effect is performed in FIG. 21) and the first effect Is not executed (for example, a pattern in which the first effect shown in FIG. 19 is not executed).
In the specific game in the second state, while there is a pattern in which the second effect is performed (for example, a pattern in which a second swaying effect shown in FIG. 22 or a second fixed effect in FIG. 23 is performed), There is no pattern in which the first effect is not executed (for example, see FIG. 9).

  Specifically, in the first state, the first effect may not be executed even when the life is provided, while in the second state, the second effect is always performed when the one-shot victory is provided. Be executed. Thus, in the first state, a life may be given without executing the first effect, so that a surprising game can be provided. In the second state, the second effect other than the navigation is provided. Can attract the attention of the player.

(2-4) In the slot machine of (2-1) to (2-3),
A start operation means operated to start the game,
The first effect is an effect that is executed when the start operation means is operated. The first effect is executed only when the specific display result is derived. A first fanning effect executed regardless of whether it is derived or not is included (for example, a first fanning effect shown in FIG. 20 or a first definite effect in FIG. 21, see FIG. 9A),
The second effect is an effect that is executed when the start operation unit is operated, and a second finalized effect that is executed only when the specific display result is derived, and the specific display result is A second fanning effect executed regardless of whether or not it is derived is included (for example, a second fanning effect shown in FIG. 22 or a second finalized effect in FIG. 23, see FIG. 9B).

  Specifically, in the first state, one of the first confirmed effect in which the BAR lip is won at the time of the start operation and the first fanning effect in which the BAR lip does not win is executed. In the second state, One of a second confirmed effect in which it is determined that the BAR lip will win at the start operation and a second fanning effect in which the BAR lip does not win are executed. In this manner, in each of the first state and the second state, a variety of effects can be provided to the player.

(2-5) In the slot machine of (2-1) to (2-4),
The condition for granting the right in the first state includes a condition (for example, a special lip winning) that is satisfied based on the derivation of the specific display result,
The condition that is satisfied based on the derivation of the specific display result has a higher probability that the right is granted in the first state than other conditions (for example, see FIGS. 7B and 7C).
Conditions for controlling the state again from the second state to the first state include conditions that are satisfied based on the derivation of the specific display result (for example, special lip winning),
The condition that is satisfied based on the derivation of the specific display result has a higher probability that the state is controlled again from the second state to the first state than other conditions (see, for example, FIG. 7D).

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, in the life lottery performed during the first state of the AT, among the lottery conditions, the weak watermelon, the weak cherry, the strong watermelon, The special lip election has a higher expected life grant per 1G than the rare role election such as the strong cherry election. As shown in FIG. 7 (d), in the one-stroke victory lottery performed during the second state of the AT, among the lottery conditions, rare roles such as weak watermelon and weak cherry, or strong watermelon and strong cherry are won. The special lip election has a higher probability of winning one blow per 1G than the election. Accordingly, in both the first state and the second state, the special lip winning is a main condition for the opportunity of the award of the privilege, so that the player pays attention to whether or not to win the BAR lip. Can be collected.

(2-6) In the slot machine of (2-1) to (2-5),
A plurality of variable display units,
The first effect is an effect that indicates the grant of the right by changing each time the variable display of each of the plurality of variable display units is stopped (for example, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, One effect changes for each of the first stop operation, the second stop operation, and the third stop operation),
The second effect is an effect that is less likely to change each time the variable display of each of the plurality of variable display units is stopped than the first effect (for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 22 and 23, The second effect changes for each of the first stop operation and the third stop operation, but does not change for the second stop operation.)

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, the first effect executed in the first state of the AT changes every time a stop operation is performed. Can be done. On the other hand, the second effect performed in the AT second state does not change every time the stop operation is performed, and the effect does not change for the second stop operation. Thereby, by reducing the sway until the result of the effect is finally suggested by performing the third stop operation, it is possible to make it easier for the player to pay attention to the result of the final effect. .

(2-7) In the slot machine of (2-1) to (2-6),
In the first state, the first section in which the expected value of the net increase in the gaming value in one game is the first value (for example, about one net / G), and the first section in which the net increase in the gaming value in one game is obtained. A second section in which the expected value is a second value higher than the first value (for example, a net increase of about 5 sheets / G),
The right can be granted in both the first section and the second section (for example, as shown in FIG. 7, both the first section and the second section can be won by the life lottery) .

  Specifically, in the first state of the AT, a first section and a second section are provided as sections in which the net number of medals per game is different from each other, and in both the first section and the second section. Life can be won by lottery, and life may be given. Thereby, in both the first section and the second section, the player can pay attention to the fact that the life is given by winning the BAR rip.

(2-8) In the slot machine of (2-7),
In the first section, the expected value of the right grant in one game is higher than in the second section (as shown in FIG. 7, in the AT first state, the net number of medals per 1G is lower. The first section is easier to win in the life lottery than the second section having a higher net number of medals per 1 G).

  Specifically, in the AT first state, the first section in which the net number of medals per 1G is lower wins in the life lottery than the second section in which the net number of medals per 1G is higher. easy. Thereby, in the game in the first section, the player can be more focused on the life being provided.

(2-9) In the slot machine of (2-7),
Deriving operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result;
Notification means (for example, navigation processing by the main control unit 41 and the sub-control unit 91) for performing operation mode notification (for example, navigation) for notifying the operation mode (for example, operation sequence, operation timing) of the derivation operation means. Further comprising
In a specific game from which the specific display result is derived, the operation mode notification is performed (for example, in a game in which a special lip has been won, a reverse push navigation for winning a BAR lip is performed),
The first section has a higher probability that the specific display result will be derived when the operation mode notification is performed than the second section (for example, the first section has some navigation than the second section). Is high, the probability of winning the BAR lip is high).

  More specifically, in the first section, the bell navigation is performed less frequently than in the second section, while the first section has a higher expected life grant per 1 G than the second section. Since there is a high frequency of performing reverse push navigation for winning a BAR lip for a special lip, when any kind of navigation is performed, the probability that the navigation is a navigation for winning a BAR lip for the special lip Is higher in the first section than in the second section. In this way, by making the BAR lip winning ratio different between the first section and the second section when the navigation occurs, the interest in the game can be improved.

(3-1) a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each of which can be identified,
After variably displaying the variable display unit, the variable display unit stops displaying the variable display to derive a display result, and a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1) capable of generating a prize according to the display result includes:
Predetermination means for determining a display result allowing derivation (for example, a process of executing an internal lottery by the main control unit 41);
Deriving operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result;
Notification means (for example, navigation processing by the main control unit 41 and the sub-control unit 91) for performing operation mode notification (for example, navigation) for notifying the operation mode (for example, operation sequence, operation timing) of the derivation operation means. ,
State control for controlling to one of a plurality of states including a first state (for example, a first section shown in FIG. 3) and a second state (for example, a second section shown in FIG. 3) in which the operation mode notification is performed. Means (for example, processing for controlling a state by the main control unit 41),
The determination result of the pre-determination means includes a specific determination result (for example, six-choice bell winning) that allows the derivation of a specific grant display result (for example, a middle bell) accompanied with a game value (for example, a medal). Included,
In the game in the first state, when the determination result of the preliminary determination means becomes the specific determination result, a notification point (for example, a navigation point) at the start of the game and a first value (for example, 50 pt) Based on the above, an operation (for example, addition) is performed (for example, the process of S26 in FIG. 11),
In the game in the second state, when the determination result of the preliminary determination means becomes the specific determination result, a notification point (for example, a navigation point) at the start of the game is different from the first value. An operation (for example, addition) is performed based on the binary value (for example, 10 pt) (for example, the process of S26 in FIG. 11),
When the result of the calculation is a predetermined result (for example, NO in S28 of FIG. 11, navigation point <100), an operation mode notification corresponding to the specific determination result is performed (for example, the process of S32 in FIG. 11). On the other hand, when the result of the calculation is not the predetermined result (for example, YES in S28 of FIG. 11, navigation point ≧ 100), the operation mode notification corresponding to the specific determination result is not performed (for example, , Processing of S30 in FIG. 11).

  Specifically, in the game that has won the 6-choice bell, 50 pt is added in the first state to the navigation point at the start of the game (the navigation point inherited from the previous game), and in the first state, 10 pt is added. If the addition result is less than 100, navigation is performed, while if the addition result is 100 or more, navigation is not performed. In this way, by adding different addition points for each state, the occurrence frequency of the navigation can be made different, so that the game can easily proceed as designed in consideration of the net increase.

  Further, if it is determined by lottery whether or not to execute the navigation, the navigation may not be performed even in the game that has won the 6-choice bell for the first time when controlled by the AT. In the case where it is determined whether or not to execute the navigation by adding the addition points as in the embodiment, by setting the addition points to less than 100 pt, the six-choice bell can be set for the first time when controlled by the AT. In the won game, navigation can always be performed. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the navigation is not performed for a long time despite being controlled by the AT, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling dissatisfied.

(3-2) In the slot machine of (3-1),
In the game in the first state, when the determination result of the pre-determination means becomes the specific determination result, an operation of adding the first value to a notification point at the start of the game is performed (for example, FIG. 11 processing of S26),
In the game in the second state, when the determination result of the preliminary determination means becomes the specific determination result, an operation of adding the second value to a notification point at the start of the game is performed (for example, FIG. 11 processing of S26),
When the notification point corresponding to the result of the calculation is less than the specific value (for example, NO in S28 of FIG. 11, navigation point <100), the operation mode notification corresponding to the specific determination result is performed (for example, On the other hand, when the notification point corresponding to the result of the calculation is equal to or more than the specific value (for example, YES in S28 of FIG. 11, navigation point ≧ 100), the operation mode notification is performed. Not performed (for example, the process of S30 in FIG. 11).

  Specifically, in the game that has won the 6-choice bell, 50 pt is added in the first state to the navigation point at the start of the game (the navigation point inherited from the previous game), and in the first state, 10 pt is added. If the addition result is less than 100, navigation is performed, while if the addition result is 100 or more, navigation is not performed. In this way, by adding different addition points for each state, the occurrence frequency of the navigation can be made different, so that the game can easily proceed as designed in consideration of the net increase.

(3-3) In the slot machine of (3-2),
When the notification point corresponding to the result of the calculation is less than the specific value (for example, NO in S28 of FIG. 11, navigation point <100), the determination result number corresponding to the specific determination result is acquired and acquired. The instruction number based on the determined result number is stored in a predetermined storage area to be used in the operation mode notification (for example, the process of S32 in FIG. 11).

  Specifically, in a game in which a 6-choice bell has been won, a case where a result of adding a predetermined addition point to a navigation point at the start of the game (a navigation point inherited from the previous game) is less than 100 pt. , A role number corresponding to the six-choice bell is acquired, and an instruction number (information for navigating) corresponding to an operation mode to be notified by the navigation is specified based on the role number, and the instruction number is specified. It is stored in a predetermined storage area. Thus, since the instruction number is determined based on the role number, it is possible to ensure the certainty of the operation mode notified by the navigation.

(3-4) In the slot machine of (3-2),
When the notification point corresponding to the calculation result is equal to or more than the specific value, an operation of subtracting the specific value (for example, 100 pt) from the notification point is performed (for example, the process of S30 in FIG. 11). In this case, the instruction number is not stored in the predetermined storage area.

  Specifically, in the game in which the 6-choice bell has been won, the result of adding a predetermined addition point to the navigation point at the start of the game (the navigation point inherited from the previous game) is 100 pt or more. , 100 pt is subtracted, and no navigation is performed. As a result, the navigation points can be arranged for the navigation processing after the next game, and the efficiency of the navigation processing can be increased.

(3-5) In the slot machine of (3-1) to (3-4),
The determination result of the pre-determination means includes a predetermined grant display result different from the specific grant display result (for example, a symbol combination of a downward-sloping bell) as a grant display result accompanied by the addition of a game value (for example, a small role winning). ) Is allowed to be derived (for example, three-choice bell win),
The predetermined determination result is a determination result having a lower degree of advantage than the specific determination result (for example, the payout number of the role corresponding to the leading role is less than the six-choice bell winning),
In the first state, the operation mode notification is not performed when the determination result of the pre-determination unit becomes the predetermined determination result, while the determination result of the pre-determination unit is the predetermined determination in the second state. When the result is obtained, the operation mode notification is always performed (for example, the processing of S34 and S36 in FIG. 11).

  Specifically, at the time of the election of a three-choice bell in which the number of medals paid out is smaller than that of the middle bell which is the main character at the time of the six-choice bell election, the navigation is performed on the condition that the second section is selected. Done. As a result, in the second section, navigation is performed at the time of winning a three-choice bell which is not performed in the first section. Therefore, the net increase in the number of medals in the second section can be higher than that in the first section.

(3-6) In the slot machine of (3-1) to (3-5),
When it is determined that the state of the game is different from the state of the previous game, a process of initializing the notification point is performed (for example, S16 in FIG. 11).

  Specifically, when the current state is different from the previous state, the navigation point is initialized to 0. As a result, the navigation point in the previous ball-out state is not carried over, so that when the ball-out state is switched, the inconvenience that navigating does not occur due to the election of the 6-choice bell is minimized. Can be.

(3-7) In the slot machine of (3-1) to (3-6),
When a specific condition that is satisfied before the end condition of the notification state in which the operation mode notification can be executed is satisfied (for example, the number of advantageous G reaches the upper limit of 1500 games) (for example, the 1400G), the state is controlled to a specific state (for example, an ending state) until the end condition is satisfied,
In the specific state, the expected value of the net increase in the gaming value in one game is lower than that in the second state (for example, the added navigation stock is set to 70 pt higher in the ending state than in the other AT states). Thus, the frequency of execution of the bell navigation is lower than in other AT states).

  Specifically, the added navigation point is the same and the smallest in the second section and the second state in the first state, and then the first section in the first state is the smallest and the ending state is the largest. Therefore, as the execution frequency of the bell navigation, the second section in the first state and the second state are the same and the highest, and then the first section in the first state is the highest and the ending state is the lowest. I have. Thus, in the ending state in which the advantageous section is determined to be completed when the number of advantageous G reaches the upper limit of 1500 games, the net number of medals can be reduced as compared with other AT states, and the ending state can be reduced. It does not give too much advantage.

[Modification]
The main embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

In the present embodiment, the shutter 52 has been exemplified as the movable portion, but the movable portion may be another member. For example, the movable unit may be a display unit provided near the main display unit 51 (for example, on the side or above) and capable of displaying an image. Alternatively, the movable section may be a lighting section that can be turned on and off such as an LED lamp provided near (for example, on the side or above) the main display section 51.

(About rights)
In the present embodiment, the life is exemplified as the right, but the right may be another type. For example, the right may be a friend of an ally character participating in a battle performed in the AT second state. In other words, a group of fellow characters may be gathered in the AT first state, and then a battle with the enemy character may be performed while consuming the fellow characters in the second AT state. In addition, the right may increase the abilities (physical strength, attack power, defensive power, etc.) of the ally character in the battle (second state), or may be a weapon or item used in the battle.

  In the present embodiment, the right (life in the present embodiment) cannot be acquired in the AT second state, but the right may be acquired in the AT second state. Also, in the AT second state, a lottery for determining whether to grant the right may be performed.

(About ending state)
In the present embodiment, the advantageous section is managed by the number of games, such as the end of the advantageous section when the number of advantageous G reaches 1500 games. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the advantageous section may end when the net number of medals in the advantageous section reaches the upper limit number (for example, 3000). In this case, for example, the ending state may be controlled when the net number of medals in the advantageous section reaches a predetermined number (for example, 2800).

(About calculation of navigation point)
In the present embodiment, the addition of the added navigation point to the current navigation point is used to determine whether or not the added navigation point reaches a specific value (100 pt in this embodiment). However, it is not limited to this. For example, the operation for the navigation point is not limited to addition, but may be other operations (subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.). In addition, navigation may be performed when the calculated navigation point has reached a value less than the specific value, but may not be performed when the calculated navigation point has a value equal to or more than the specific value.

(About production during AT)
In the present embodiment, during the AT first state, the first fluttering effect is performed at the time of the start operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first fanning effect may be performed at the time of the first stop operation or the second stop operation. In addition, when the presence or absence of the life is notified at the time of the third stop / release, the first fanning effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. In other words, the first fanning effect may be performed at any timing until the presence or absence of the right is finally notified.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT first state, the first confirmed effect is performed at the time of the start operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first confirmed effect may be performed at the time of the first stop operation or the second stop operation. In addition, when it is suggested whether or not the life is given at the time of the third stop / release, the first confirmed effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. That is, the first confirmed effect may be performed at any timing until the presence or absence of the right is finally suggested.

  In the present embodiment, in the second state of the AT, the second fanning effect is performed at the time of the first stop operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second fanning effect may be performed at the time of the start operation or the second stop operation. In addition, when the result of the battle is suggested at the time of the third stop release, the second fanning effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. That is, the second fueling effect may be performed at any timing until the result indicating whether the control is finally controlled to the first state is suggested.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT second state, the second confirmed effect is performed at the time of the first stop operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second confirmed effect may be performed at the time of the start operation or the second stop operation. Further, when the result of the battle is suggested at the time of the third stop release, the second confirmed effect may be performed at the time of the third stop operation. That is, the second confirmed effect may be performed at any timing until the result indicating whether the control is finally controlled to the first state is suggested.

  In the present embodiment, in the AT second state, the second fanning effect and the second confirmed effect change at the time of the first stop operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the case of the second stop operation, the second fanning effect and the second finalization effect do not change from the start operation effect even in the first stop operation, but change in the third stop operation. There may be.

(About benefits)
In the present embodiment, the number of AT games that can be given during non-AT is exemplified as a privilege, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of a slot machine, the special benefits include a first-class special character such as RB (regular bonus) and BB (big bonus), a second-class special character such as CB (challenge bonus), and a player. AT (Assist Time) for notifying the operation mode (pressing order, operation timing) of the stop switch in order to generate an advantageous prize, CZ (Chance Zone) in which the probability that the state is controlled by the AT is higher than usual, and An example of a right to control to a state advantageous to the player, such as an advantageous section including an AT and a CZ, can be exemplified. When the privilege is RB, BB, or CB, the higher the probability of winning these bonuses, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Alternatively, it can be said that the higher the expected value of the medal to be awarded, the higher the bonus is, the higher the advantage of the privilege is. When the privilege is AT or CZ, it can be said that the higher the probability of winning in these advantageous sections is, the higher the advantage of the privilege is. Alternatively, it can be said that the higher the win is in the advantageous section in which the expected value of the medal to be given is higher, the higher the advantage of the privilege is.

  In the case of pachinko gaming machines, as bonuses, a jackpot, a probability fluctuation state in which the probability of occurrence of a jackpot is higher than usual, and the time from the rotation of the symbol to the stoppage is reduced or the lottery is performed in a short time. The right to control the player to a state that is advantageous to the player, such as a time reduction state in which a prize is provided in the starting opening by opening a normal electric accessory (such as an electric tulip) (so-called electric tuple support). Can be exemplified. Also, the higher the probability of winning in these states, the higher the advantage of the privilege. Alternatively, it can be said that the higher the expected value of the awarded game ball is, the higher the advantage of the privilege is.

  Note that various configurations, various processes, timings of various processes, and the like in the above-described embodiment and modifications can be appropriately combined.
