However, in a conventional gaming table, there is room for improvement in a notification method when a game is performed with a non-recommended bet number (for example, one) in an advantageous gaming state.
An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming table having a feature in a notification method.

  A game console according to the present invention is a game console including operation means, and control means for shifting to any one of a normal state and an advantageous state, wherein operation information of the operation means can be notified. The advantageous state is a state that is more advantageous than the normal state with respect to the notification of the operation information, and includes a specific counter related to the advantageous state. Each time a game is played in the advantageous state, the advantage state is determined. Is configured to be able to update the count value of the counter, and when a certain end condition is satisfied, the state is shifted from the advantageous state to the normal state. This is a condition that is satisfied when the value becomes the first specific value, the first game in which the betting number of the game medium is the first number, and the first game in which the betting number of the game medium is the second number. The second game can be executed. The second number is a number different from the first number, and in the advantageous state, the first game is more advantageous to the player than the second game. In the advantageous state, it is configured to be able to shift to the first advantageous game state, and it is configured to be able to execute a certain effect related to the end of the first advantageous game state, and in the advantageous state, When only the game is performed, it is configured to shift to the first advantageous game state and the certain effect may be executed, and only the second game is performed in the advantageous state. Is performed, the certain effect is executed without shifting to the first advantageous gaming state.

The slot machine of the present embodiment has a predetermined number of game media inserted therein, and a plurality of reels each provided with a plurality of types of symbols start rotating by receiving a predetermined rotation start instruction operation. Based on the reception of the rotation start instruction operation, it is determined by lottery whether the internal winning of a plurality of types of wins, and the plurality of reels individually stop rotation by receiving a predetermined rotation stop instruction operation, If the conditions determined by the combination based on the result of the lottery and the symbol combination when the plurality of reels are stopped match the predetermined payout condition, the game medium is paid out if it does not match, and the game medium is ended if it does not match. It is a game console that advances a series of games that end without payout.

<Overall configuration>
First, the overall configuration of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the slot machine 100 as viewed from the front side (player side).

  A slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 is equivalent to an example of a game console of the present invention, and includes a main body 101, and a front door 102 attached to the front of the main body 101 and capable of opening and closing with respect to the main body 101. . Inside the center of the main body 101, three reels (left reel 110, middle reel 111, right reel 112) in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface (not shown) are housed, and rotate inside the slot machine 100. It is configured to be able to. These reels 110 to 112 are driven to rotate by a driving device such as a stepping motor.

  In the present embodiment, each symbol is printed on a band-shaped member at an appropriate interval at an appropriate number, and the band-shaped member is affixed to a predetermined circular cylindrical frame material to constitute each of the reels 110 to 112. When viewed from the player, three symbols on the reels 110 to 112 are displayed in a vertical direction from the symbol display window 113, so that a total of nine symbols can be seen. By rotating each of the reels 110 to 112, the combination of symbols seen by the player changes. That is, each of the reels 110 to 112 functions as a display device that variably displays a combination of a plurality of types of symbols. In addition, as such a display device, an electronic image display device such as a liquid crystal display device can be employed in addition to the reel. Further, in the present embodiment, three reels are provided inside the center of the slot machine 100, but the number of reels and the installation positions of the reels are not limited thereto.

  On the back of each of the reels 110 to 112, a backlight (not shown) for illuminating each symbol displayed in the symbol display window 113 is arranged. It is desirable that the backlight be shielded for each symbol so that the individual symbols can be evenly illuminated. An optical sensor (index sensor; not shown) including a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit is provided in the vicinity of each of the reels 110 to 112 inside the slot machine 100. The light projecting unit of this optical sensor is provided. A light-shielding piece having a fixed length provided on the reel passes between the light-receiving section and the light-receiving section. Based on the detection result of this sensor, the position of the symbol on the reel in the rotation direction is determined, and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped so that the target symbol is displayed on the winning line. The pay line display lamp 120 is a lamp that indicates the activated pay line 114.

  The notification lamp 123 informs the player that, for example, a specific winning combination (specifically, a special combination (bonus)) has been internally won in a later-described winning combination internal lottery, or that a bonus game is being performed. It is a lamp to inform. The notification lamp 123 of the present embodiment is lit up after the bonus notification for notifying the bonus determination, until the bonus game ends. The notification lamp 123 may be turned on before the bonus notification (at the time of the bonus or immediately before the bonus notification). The game medal insertion possible lamp 124 is a lamp for notifying that a player can insert a game medal. The re-game lamp 122 informs the player that the current game can be re-gamed (there is no need to insert medals) when the player has won a re-game which is one of the winning combinations in the previous game. It is a lamp. The reel panel lamp 128 is an effect lamp.

  The bet buttons 130 to 132 are buttons for inserting a predetermined number of medals (referred to as credits) electronically stored in the slot machine 100. In the present embodiment, each time the bet button 130 is pressed, a maximum of three sheets are inserted one by one, two sheets are inserted when the bet button 131 is pressed, and three sheets are inserted when the bet button 132 is pressed. It has become so. Hereinafter, the bet button 132 is also referred to as a MAX (max) bet button. The game medal insertion lamp 129 turns on a number of lamps according to the number of inserted medals, and, when a specified number of medals have been inserted, notifies that the game can be started. The lamp 121 lights up.

  The medal insertion slot 141 is an insertion slot for a player to insert medals when starting a game. In other words, medals can be inserted electronically using the bet buttons 130 to 132, or actual medals can be inserted (insertion operation) from the medal insertion slot 141, and insertion means both. is there.

  The stored number display 125 is a display for displaying the number of medals electronically stored in the slot machine 100. The game information display 126 is a display for numerically displaying various kinds of internal information (for example, the number of medals paid out during a bonus game). The payout amount indicator 127 is a display for displaying the number of medals to be paid out to the player as a result of winning some winning combination. In the present embodiment, the stored number display 125, the game information display 126, and the payout number display 127 are configured by 7-segment (SEG) displays. Note that the payout number display 127 according to the present embodiment also functions as an operation navigation execution device that notifies information about a stop operation (for example, the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop buttons 137 to 139).

  The start lever 135 is a lever-type switch for starting rotation of the reels 110 to 112. That is, when a desired number of medals is inserted into the medal insertion slot 141 or the start lever 135 is operated by operating the bet buttons 130 to 132, the reels 110 to 112 start rotating. An operation on the start lever 135 is referred to as a game start operation.

  The stop button unit 136 is provided with stop buttons 137 to 139. The stop buttons 137 to 139 are button-type push switches for individually stopping the reels 110 to 112 whose rotation has been started by the operation of the start lever 135, and are provided in association with the respective reels 110 to 112. . More specifically, the left reel 110 can be stopped by operating the left stop button 137, the middle reel 111 can be stopped by operating the middle stop button 138, and the right stop button 139 can be stopped. By operating, the right reel 112 can be stopped.

  Hereinafter, the operation on the stop buttons 137 to 139 is referred to as a stop operation, the first stop operation is referred to as a first stop operation, the next stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the last stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation. The reel to be operated may be referred to as a first stop reel, the reel to be subjected to a second stop operation may be referred to as a second stop reel, and the reel to be subjected to a third stop operation may be referred to as a third stop reel.

  Further, the order in which the stop buttons 137 to 139 for stopping all the rotating reels 110 to 112 are stopped is referred to as an operation order or a pressing order. The operation sequence in which the first stop reel is set to the left reel 110 as a stop operation is referred to as “forward push operation sequence” or simply “forward push”, and the operation sequence in which the first stop reel is the stop operation as the right reel 112 is referred to as “operation sequence”. This is referred to as "reverse push operation sequence" or simply "reverse push." Note that a light emitter may be provided inside each of the stop buttons 137 to 139. When the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be operated, the light emitter can be turned on to notify the player.

  The high navigation state lamp 190 is a lamp that is turned on when the AT-based game state of the main control unit 300 is in a high navigation state described later.

<Type of winning combinations>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7A is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations (including the winning combinations), the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the operation or payout of each winning combination in the three-bet game. (B) is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations (including operating combinations), the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the operation or payout of each winning combination in the two-page betting game.

  The winning combination of the slot machine 100 includes a special combination (special combination 1, special combination 2), a general combination (re-gaming combination 1 to re-combination 13 and small combination 1 to small combination 5). Note that the types of winning combinations are not limited to these combinations, and may be arbitrarily adopted.

  Of the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the special combination 1 and the special combination 2 are combinations that shift to a special game state in which a predetermined profit is given to the player. In addition, the re-gaming combination 1 to the re-gaming combination 13 are combinations that enable re-gaming without inserting new medals. These winning combinations may be referred to as “operators”. Further, the “winning” in the present embodiment includes a case where a symbol combination of an actor without a medal payout (without a medal payout) is displayed on the activated line. The winning of the special combination 2 and the replaying combinations 1 to 13 is included.

  The special combination 1 and the special combination 2 are combinations (operating combinations) that shift to a special game state upon winning. In this example, the special combination 1 is a combination that can be won only in a three-stake game, and the special combination 2 is a combination that can be won only in a two-stake game. It should be noted that no medal is paid out for winning the role itself. In the corresponding symbol combination, the special combination 1 (BB1) is “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 2”, and the special combination 2 (BB2) is “BAR-BAR-Seven 1”.

  When the special combination 1 or special combination 2 is internally won, the special combination internal winning flag corresponding to the internally won combination is set to ON (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). If the flag is set to ON by internal winning of the special combination 1, the main control unit 300 shifts the gaming state to a special internal winning state of the special combination 1 (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT2). In addition, when the flag is set to ON by the internal winning of the special combination 2, the main control unit 300 shifts the gaming state to the internal winning state of the special combination 2 (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT3). .

  This flag is kept on until the internally won combination is won, and the internally won combination is easily won in the next and subsequent games. That is, even if a special combination 1 or a special combination 2 does not win the special combination in the game, the special combination will be internally won in the next and subsequent games, and a symbol combination corresponding to the special combination (for example, special When the role 1 is internally won, the symbol combination of "Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 2 (BB1)" is in a state in which it is easy to win. The special role 1 internal winning state (RT2) and the special role 2 internal winning state (RT3) will be described later.

  The main control unit 300 shifts the gaming state to a special gaming state (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT4) based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 or the special combination 2. Further, in this special game state, when a predetermined number of coins are paid out (110 in this example, winning in BB1 is 110, and winning in BB2 is 55), a re-game low probability state (hereinafter, this state is referred to as RT1). There is). The special game state (RT4) and the re-game low probability state (RT1) will be described later.

  The “re-gaming role (re-gaming role 1 to re-gaming role 13)” is a prize-winning role (operating role) capable of performing a game without a medal (game medium) being inserted in the next game by winning. No medals will be paid out. In addition, the corresponding symbol combination is “replay-replay-replay” for replay 1 (normal replay), “seven 1-seven 1-seven 1” for replay 2 (production replay 1), and replay 3 (Direction replay 2) is as shown in FIG. 5, such as "Seven 1-Seven 2-Seven 1".

  "Small win (small win 1 to small win 5)" is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and the corresponding symbol combination is "ANY-Cherry-ANY" for small win 1 (Cherry), The role 2 (watermelon 1) is "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" or the like, as shown in FIG. Also, the corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG. In the case of “ANY-Cherry-ANY”, the symbol on the middle reel 111 may be “Cherry”, and the symbols on the left reel 110 and the right reel 112 may be any symbols.

<Reel stop control>
Next, an outline of stop control of the reels 110 to 112 will be described. The reel stop control is performed by selecting one of a plurality of predetermined reel stop control data based on a predetermined condition (for example, a result of an internal lottery process of a winning combination described later), and stopping the selected reel stop. This is performed based on the control data.

  In the present embodiment, so-called pull-in control (frame slip control) is performed. The pull-in control means that the stop positions of the reels 110 to 112 are shifted within a certain number of frames (the number of symbols) (a maximum of four frames in this case) after the player operates each of the stop buttons 137 to 139. Refers to control. The reel stop data is stored in the ROM 306 of the main controller 300. Each reel stop data includes an allowance control that allows a predetermined combination of winning combinations to be displayed on the winning line, and a prohibition control that does not display any combination of winning combinations on the winning line. , Are roughly divided into

  Examples of the permissible control are performed, for example, when a certain winning combination is internally won, or when a special combination is internally won (flag is being carried over), and the player operates each of the stop buttons 137 to 139. Is controlled so that the symbol combinations of winning combinations are displayed together within the range of the number of frames even if the number of frames is poor. However, since it is only "permissible", the symbol combinations may not be aligned depending on the timing of operating each of the stop buttons 137 to 139.

  For example, when a small winning combination 2 (watermelon 1) is internally won, the watermelon symbol is arranged beyond four frames, and if the timing of operating the stop buttons 137 to 139 is not appropriate, the watermelon symbol is a winning line. Do not stop at

  However, depending on the arrangement of the symbols on the reels 110 to 112 and the number of drawn frames, there may be a case where 100% are aligned. For example, since the arrangement interval of the replay symbols corresponding to the replaying game 1 (normal replay) is a maximum of four frames, if the replaying game 1 is internally won, a 100% prize will be won regardless of the timing.

  On the other hand, an example in which the prohibition control is performed is, for example, a case where the internal lottery result is lost and the special winning is not being internally won (flag is being carried over), and the timing at which the player operates each of the stop buttons 137 to 139 Even if the number of frames is good, control is performed so that the symbol combinations of the winning combinations are not displayed together within the range of the number of frames.

<Type of game state>
Next, the type and transition of the gaming state of the slot machine 100 will be described. FIG. 6A is a transition diagram of a game state of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100.

  The main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 is roughly divided into a special role 1 internal winning state (RT2) in the replay low probability state (RT1), a high replay probability state, and a special role 2 internal winning in the replay high probability state. There is a state (RT3) and a special game state (RT4). In the present embodiment, the game state roughly divided into the four is referred to as an RT-based game state. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 300 also controls a state related to a so-called AT (assist time) (hereinafter, referred to as an AT-based game state), and according to the AT-based game state determined by the main control unit 300, The first sub-control unit 400 sets a game state. The game state of the AT system will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Note that the replay low probability state (RT1) is a state in which the probability that the condition device related to the replay is operating does not change (default state), a special role 1 internal winning state (RT2), a special role 2 internal winning state (RT3) and the special game state (RT4) are also states in which the probability that the condition device related to the replaying game will operate fluctuates from the default state.

<Lottery table>
FIG. 7A is a diagram showing a lottery table used in the internal lottery process of the winning combination. The horizontal axis represents each game state (game state of the RT system), and the vertical axis represents the lottery value of each winning combination.

  The internal winning probability of a winning combination in each game state described below is calculated based on random data obtained from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306 by obtaining numerical data corresponding to the range of the random drawing data associated with each winning combination at the time of the internal random drawing. It is determined by a value obtained by dividing by numerical data (for example, 65535) in a numerical value range. For example, in the replay low probability state (RT1), the lottery value of the small win 2 is 512, and the winning probability of the small win 1 is 512/65536 × 100 ≒ 0.8%. The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each character range and loss are associated with each numerical range.

  The random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery is determined to be a value corresponding to the lottery data corresponding to which combination, and the internal lottery combination is determined. This lottery data is provided with settings 1 to 6 in which the winning probabilities of at least one role are different, and a game store attendant or the like can arbitrarily select and set any one of the set values. Note that the internal winning probability shown in this figure is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this probability.

  Hereinafter, the gaming state of the RT system of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

<Re-game low probability state (RT1)>
The re-game low probability state is a game state in which the internal winning probability of the re-game is the lowest (unfavorable to the player) among other game states (for example, game states excluding the special game state), and is referred to as a normal game state. There is also. In the replay low probability state, a winning combination to be internally won is randomly selected with reference to a lottery table in a row of “RT1” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. 7A.

  The winning combinations that are internally won in the re-game low probability state include special combination 1 (conditional device No. 1, only 3-gaming game), special combination 2 (not shown, 2-gaming game only), re-gaming combination 1 ( Conditioning device No. 2), replaying roles 2, 4 to 10 (conditioning device No. 3), replaying roles 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 to 13 (conditioning device No. 4), small role 1 to small There is role 5 (conditioning device Nos. 5 to 9). If the winning combination is not won, the game is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. In addition, the case where the symbol combination related to the winning is not stopped in the winning line may be referred to as “losing”. In addition, the fact that the player did not win the winning combination may be expressed as “the winner has been lost”.

  Here, the “re-gaming roles 2, 4 to 10” are re-gaming roles 2, re-gaming roles 4, re-gaming roles 5, re-gaming roles 6, re-gaming roles 7, re-gaming roles 8, and re-gaming roles 9. , And the replaying player 10 are internally won at the same time. In this case, it is determined which combination of symbols is displayed according to the player's operation sequence. More specifically, when the stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct operation sequence that is a predetermined operation sequence (in this example, when the stop operation is performed by pressing the key in the reverse direction), the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination 2 is changed. It is displayed on the winning line, otherwise, in accordance with the stop operation timing of each of the reels 110 to 112, the replaying role 4, the replaying role 5, the replaying role 6, the replaying role 7, the replaying role A symbol combination corresponding to any of the 8, 8, 9 and 10, is displayed on the winning line. It should be noted that a winning combination determined by the operation order, such as the “re-playing combinations 2, 4 to 10”, may be referred to as a “pushing combination”.

  Also, “re-games 3, 4, 6, 8, 10-13” are re-games 3, re-games 4, re-games 6, re-games 8, re-games 10, and re-games 11 , Re-gaming role 12, and re-gaming role 13 are simultaneously internally won. In this case, it is determined which combination of symbols is displayed according to the player's operation sequence. More specifically, when the stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct operation order that is a predetermined operation order (in this example, when the stop operation is performed by the reverse push), the symbol combination corresponding to the replaying combination 3 is changed. It is displayed on the winning line, and in other cases, the re-gaming role 4, the re-gaming role 6, the re-gaming role 8, the re-gaming role 10, the re-gaming role in accordance with the stop operation timing of each of the reels 110 to 112. A symbol combination corresponding to any one of 11, the re-game combination 12, and the re-game combination 13 is displayed on the winning line.

  When "Small win 4" is internally won, it is determined whether or not a symbol combination corresponding to Small win 4 (bell) is displayed on the winning line according to the operation order of the player (FIG. 7 ( a) See remarks). More specifically, when a stop operation is performed in accordance with a correct operation order, which is a predetermined operation order, “Bell-Bell-Bell” is displayed on the pay line, and 11 medals are paid out ( Bell prize). On the other hand, if the stop operation is not performed in the correct answer operation order, "bell-bell-bell" is not displayed on the pay line (losing).

  Note that “Small win 4” is composed of “Small win 4a” and “Small win 4b”, and when “Small win 4a” is internally won, “Bell-Bell-Bell” is performed according to the player's operation order. Is displayed on the winning line, while “Bell-Bell-Bell” is displayed on the winning line regardless of the operation order when “Small role 4b” is internally won. You may comprise so that it may be.

  Here, the operation sequence of the correct answer of “Small win 4” will be described in detail with reference to FIG. "Small role 4" is exactly six of "Small role 4LCR", "Small role 4LRC", "Small role 4CLR", "Small role 4CRL", "Small role 4RLC", and "Small role 4RCL" The operation order of the correct answer is assigned to each of the subdivided "small wins 4". The range of the lottery data associated with each of the six subdivided "small wins 4" is the same.

  For example, when "Small win 4" is internally won for "Small win 4 LCR", the first stop reel is the left reel 110, the second stop reel is the middle reel 111, and the third stop reel is the right reel 112. The stop operation is a correct operation, and the other stop operations are incorrect operations. In the case where “Small win 4” is internally won as “Small win 4 CRL”, the first stop reel is the middle reel 111, the second stop reel is the right reel 112, and the third stop reel is the left reel 110. The stop operation is the correct operation.

  FIG. 6A shows that, when the special combination 1 is internally won (when the condition (A) is satisfied), a transition is made to a special combination 1 internal winning state (RT2) described later. When the special combination 2 is internally won (when the condition (B) is satisfied), the state shifts to a special combination 2 internal winning state (RT3) described later.

<Special role 1 internal winning state (RT2), special role 2 internal winning state (RT3)>
The special role internal winning state (RT2) and the special role 2 internal winning state (RT3) (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “special role internal winning state”) are the replay low probability state (RT1). ) Is a gaming state in which the internal winning probability of the replaying role is higher than that of the special winning combination, and the internal winning flag corresponding to the special role 1 or the special role 2 is set to ON. By doing so, it is a gaming state in which a symbol combination corresponding to the special combination corresponding to this flag can be displayed.

  In the special role 1 internal winning state (RT2), a winning combination to be internally won is drawn by referring to the lottery table in the column of “RT2” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. In RT3), a winning combination to be internally won is randomly selected with reference to a lottery table in a row of "RT3" on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. 7A. Winning roles that are internally won in the special role internal winning state include replaying role 1, replaying roles 2, 4 to 10, replaying roles 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 to 13, and small role 1 to small role 4. There is. If the winning combination is not won, the game is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. Further, in FIG. 6 (a), when the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is displayed in the special combination internal winning state (when the condition (C) is satisfied), a special game described later is performed. A transition to the state (RT4) is shown.

<Special gaming state (RT4)>
The special game state (RT4) is a game state most advantageous to the player among all the game states. In the special game state, a winning combination to be internally won is randomly selected with reference to a lottery table in a row of “RT4” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. 7A. In the special game state, the winning combination that is internally won is only the small combination 5. If the winning combination is not won, the winning combination is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed.

  FIG. 6A shows that in the special game state (RT4), when the specified number is paid out (when the condition (D) is satisfied), the state shifts to the re-game low probability state (RT1). ing. Specifically, when the game shifts to the special game state based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1, when the payout of more than 110 medals is performed, the re-game low probability state (RT1) Move to Further, when the game shifts to the special game state based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 2, when the payout of more than 55 medals is performed, the game shifts to the re-game low probability state (RT1). .

  In the present embodiment, the special game state ends when a predetermined number of payouts are executed. For example, the special game state ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times ( The game may end when a prize has been won (for example, eight times) or when a predetermined number of games (for example, six times) have been played. That is, the condition (D) shown in FIG. 6A is not limited to this example.

<Transition of AT game state>
Next, with reference to FIG. 6B, an AT-based game state will be described. FIG. 6B is a transition diagram of an AT-based gaming state of the main controller 300 of the slot machine 100.

  As shown in the figure, the AT-type gaming state is roughly divided into a low navigation state and a high navigation state. The low navigation state is a state in which the probability that the operation navigation is executed is low, and is also referred to as a normal mode. The high navigation state is a state in which the operation navigation is more likely to be executed than the low navigation state, and is also called an AT mode. Here, the operation navigator is internally won for the pushing order (in this example, replaying roles 2, 4 to 10, replaying roles 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 to 13, or small role 4). In this case, it refers to an effect that notifies the correct operation sequence. That is, the operation navigation refers to an effect of notifying the contents of the stop operation for acquiring the medals, the contents of the stop operation for shifting to the advantageous game state, or maintaining the advantageous game state.

  Here, the operation navigation will be described with reference to FIGS. 7B and 8. In the present embodiment, the operation navigation is executed using the payout number display 127 and the effect image display device 157. FIG. 7B is a view for explaining the correct answer operation sequence of the pushing sequence of the slot machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 associates the display data with the lighting mode of the payout number display 127. FIG.

  For example, the display data 01 is data indicating a stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the left reel 110, the display data 02 is data indicating a stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the middle reel 111, and the display data 03 is set. , Data indicating a stop operation in which the first stop reel is set to the right reel 112.

  Therefore, in the AT mode, in the case where “re-gaming combination 2, 4 to 10” or “re-gaming combination 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 to 13” is internally won, the first stop reel is set to the right reel 112. Since the stop operation is correct, the display data 03 indicating that the first stop operation is on the right is selected, the lighting mode corresponding to the display data 03 is displayed on the payout number display 127, and the effect image display is performed. On the device 157, an image indicating that the first stop reel is the right reel 112 (for example, a character “−1”) is displayed.

  The display data 04 is data indicating a stop operation in which the first stop reel is the left reel 110, the second stop reel is the middle reel 111, and the third stop reel is the right reel 112. The display data 05 is the first stop reel. Is a left reel 110, the second stop reel is a right reel 112, and the third stop reel is a middle reel 111. Data indicating a stop operation, and display data 06, the first stop reel is a middle reel 111, and the second stop reel is a The data indicating the stop operation of setting the left reel 110, the third stop reel to the right reel 112, and the display data 07 are as follows: the first stop reel is the middle reel 111, the second stop reel is the right reel 112, and the third stop reel is the left reel. The display data 08 indicating the stop operation with the reel 110 as the first reel is the right reel 112, the second stop reel is the left reel 110, and the third reel is the third reel. The data indicating the stop operation of setting the stop reel to the middle reel 112 and the display data 09 include the stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the right reel 112, setting the second stop reel to the middle reel 111, and setting the third stop reel to the left reel 110. It is data that suggests.

  Therefore, when the small win 4CLR of “small win 4” is internally won in the AT mode, the first stop reel is the middle reel 111, the second stop reel is the left reel 110, and the third stop reel is the right reel 112. Since the stop operation is correct, display data 06 indicating that the first stop operation is middle, the second stop operation is left, and the third stop operation is right is selected, and the payout number display 127 displays the display data 06. And the effect image display device 157 suggests that the first stop reel is the middle reel 111, the second stop reel is the left reel 110, and the third stop reel is the right reel 112. (For example, the character “213”) is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, it is configured to be able to determine whether the internal winning combination is the replaying combination or the small combination 4 based on the lighting mode of the payout number indicator 127. However, for example, the stop operation of the correct answer of the small combination 4 may be set to three choices like the replay combination, and the small combination 4 may be notified using the display data 01 to 03. In this case, the internal winning combination cannot be determined only by the lighting mode. Further, the stop operation of the correct answer of the re-gaming combination may be set to six choices like the small combination 4, and the re-gaming combination may be notified using the display data 04 to 09. Also in this case, the internal winning combination cannot be determined only by the lighting mode.

  In the present embodiment, the low navigation state is a state where the execution probability of the operation navigation is low, and the high navigation state is a state where the execution probability of the operation navigation is higher than the low navigation state. Is not executed, and the high navigation state may be the state in which the operation navigation is executed. When a stop operation is performed in accordance with the operation content of the operation navigation, an advantageous result is provided to the player, and thus the high navigation state is a gaming state more advantageous to the player than the low navigation state. Here, the advantage is, specifically, the total number of game media paid out by the gaming table with respect to the total number of game media used by the player as a bet amount when playing the game for a predetermined period. A ratio, a so-called payout rate (payout rate).

  In the present embodiment, when a certain condition is satisfied in the low navigation state (for example, when a winning combination other than the loss is won), the state shifts to the normal state of the high navigation state. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), for example, the state shifts in the order of the fixed notification state → the AT1 state → the judge state, and shifts from the judge state to the normal game state or the AT2 state via the retraction state. There are a route and a route for directly shifting from the judge state to the AT2 state. In this embodiment, when the transition to the AT state (AT1 state, AT2 state) is determined, a predetermined number (for example, 50 games) of the number of games in the AT mode (hereinafter referred to as the number of AT games) is given. As will be described later in detail, when a certain condition is satisfied in the high navigation state, the state shifts to the LMT (limit) state.

<State transition of AT system>
FIG. 6 (b) is a diagram illustrating an effect state in each of the AT-based game states. As shown in FIG. 6B, each game state of the AT system is further subdivided and managed, and this is called an effect state. Specifically, the effect state in the low navigation state is a normal state, and the effect state in the high navigation state includes a normal state, a confirmation notification state, a judge state, a retraction state, an AT1, a AT2 state, and an LMT (limit) state. . The AT1, AT2, and LMT (limit) states are states in which the number of payouts increases in principle.

  Here, the limit state means, in principle, the remaining 20 games or less in the high navigation state, that is, an effect state from the 981th game to the 1000th game in the high navigation state (from the 981th game to the 1000th game in the high navigation state). May not be in the limit state, but this case will be described later). In the present embodiment, when the remaining high-navigation state is 20 games or less, an ending effect (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as an “ED effect”) indicating the end of the high-navigation state is executed.

<Direction table>
Next, an effect table provided in the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 9A illustrates an image of the effect table provided in the first sub control unit 400. The storage means (for example, the ROM 406 and the RAM 408 shown in FIG. 3) of the first sub-control unit 400 stores an effect table provided for each effect state.

  In the command processing of the first sub-controller main processing described later (step S3604), the first sub-controller 400 produces effect information (for example, an effect state, a high navigation state counter, and the like) included in the command received from the main controller 300. An effect state counter or the like is acquired, and in the subsequent effect control process (step S3605), an effect corresponding to the effect state counter and the like is performed with reference to an effect table corresponding to the effect state and the like. For example, when the current effect state is the AT1 state, processing such as reading effect data for executing the later-described AT1 effect from the ROM 406 with reference to the effect table (AT1 state effect table) corresponding to the AT1 state is performed. When the effect data needs to be updated, effect data update processing is performed.

  If the current effect state is the judge state, processing such as reading effect data for executing a judge effect described later from the ROM 406 with reference to an effect table (judgment state effect table) corresponding to the judge state is performed. When the effect data needs to be updated, effect data update processing is performed.

  FIG. 9B is a diagram illustrating an example of a judge state effect table. When the effect state included in the command received from the main control unit 300 is the judge state, the first sub control unit 400 refers to, for example, a judge state effect table as illustrated in FIG. Judge effects corresponding to points and effect state counters are performed.

  Specifically, when effect control is performed according to the judge state effect table shown in FIG. 9B and (1), when the point is 1, the enemy character is changed from A → A → A → B (the expected degree is A A judge effect of changing in the order of <B) is performed, and when the point is 2, a judge effect of changing the enemy character in the order of A → A → B → B is performed. When effect control is performed according to the judge state effect table shown in FIGS. 9B and 9B, when the effect state counter value is N (the number of remaining games in the judge state is N), the effect state is changed to D1. Judgment effect is performed in the order of −1 → D2-1 → D3-1 →... When the value of the effect state counter is N−1 (the number of remaining games in the judge state is N−1), the effect mode is changed. A judge effect of changing in the order of D1-2 → D2-2 → D3-2 →.

  When the current effect state is the LMT state, processing such as reading effect data for executing an LMT effect described later from the ROM 406 with reference to an effect table (LMT state effect table) corresponding to the LMT state is performed. When the effect data needs to be updated, effect data update processing is performed.

  FIG. 9C shows an example of the LMT state effect table. When the effect state included in the command received from the main control unit 300 is the LMT state, the first sub-control unit 400 refers to the LMT state effect table as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not a corresponding opportunity (a production start condition, an end condition, and the like) has arrived, and when an opportunity has come, an effect corresponding to the counter is performed.

  Specifically, when effect control is performed according to the LMT state effect table shown in FIG. 9C and (1), the value of the effect state counter is 1 (the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 1), and the start lever 135 is set. When a press operation (rebar-on) is received, a lottery table for setting suggestion effect A shown in FIGS. 9C and 2B is used to select from among a plurality of types of effects A1 to A3 according to the current setting value. Then, a process is performed such as selecting a predetermined effect, reading effect data for executing the effect from the ROM 406, and executing setting suggestion effect A (for example, displaying a character image).

  Further, when the value of the effect state counter is 0 (the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 0) and the third stop operation is received, the lottery table for the setting suggestion effect B shown in FIGS. From among a plurality of types of effects B1 to B10, a predetermined effect is selected in accordance with the current setting value, and effects such as reading effect data for executing the effect from the ROM 406 are performed. (For example, the background image of the end screen).

  In addition, as will be described in detail later, in the case of performing a control for continuously displaying a specific scene (not displaying a subsequent scene) in an interlocking effect at the time of a two-betting game, the main controller 300 performs an effect state. Since the value of the counter is not updated, the first sub-control unit 400 continuously displays the scene corresponding to the same value of the effect state counter. Note that a method of controlling to display a specific scene continuously (not to display the subsequent scene) in the linked effect is not limited to this example. For example, the main control unit 300 may control the first sub-control unit 400 You may be comprised so that the command for displaying the following scene in an effect may not be transmitted.

  Note that the production mode, type, determination method, and the like of the setting suggestion production are not limited to this example. For example, as shown in FIG. 9D, according to the current production state counter (the number of remaining games in the LMT state). Thus, the execution probability of the setting suggestion effect may be changed. For example, when the effect state counter (the number of remaining games in the LMT state) is larger, the execution probability of the setting suggestion effect may be higher when the effect state counter is larger than when the effect state counter (the number of remaining games in the LMT state) is lower.

<Operation of slot machine>
Based on the above features, the processing of the main control unit 300, the first sub-control unit 400, and the second sub-control unit 500 will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<Main control unit main processing>
First, a main control unit main process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control section main processing.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs a start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which the start signal has been input is reset-started by a reset interrupt, and executes the main control unit main processing shown in FIG. 10 according to a control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

  When the power is turned on, first, various initial settings are performed in step S101. In this initial setting, setting of a stack initial value to a stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of inhibition of interrupt, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, permission of operation to the WDT 314, and initial setting Set values, etc.

  In step S102, a bet amount setting / start operation accepting process (described in detail later) is executed. Here, the presence / absence of insertion of a medal is checked, and preparation for transmission of an insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted is performed. In the case where the player wins the re-game combination in the previous game, the process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that the player does not need to insert medals. Further, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated, and if the start lever 135 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S103.

  In step S103, the number of inserted medals is determined, and a pay line determination process is performed to determine an effective pay line.

  In step S104, a random number generated by the random number generation circuit 316 is obtained, and a winning combination internal lottery process is performed. In the winning combination internal lottery process, a winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read in accordance with the current gaming state, an internal lottery is performed by using this table and the obtained random number value, and the result of the internal lottery is shown. The preparation for transmitting the internal lottery command to the first sub control unit 400 is performed. As a result of the internal lottery, when one of the winning combinations (including the operating combination) is internally won, the flag of the winning combination is turned on.

  In step S105, reel stop data selection processing for selecting reel stop data is performed based on the internal lottery result of the winning combination internal lottery processing. The reel stop data is stored in the ROM 306 of the main controller 300. In step S105, preparation is made to transmit a reel stop data command including information on the selected reel stop data to the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S106, effect control processing A (to be described in detail later) relating to control of the AT-based gaming state is executed based on the start lever operation. In step S107, the effect processing is executed. In this effect processing, control of a freeze effect is performed.

  Here, the freeze effect is an effect that makes the originally intended effect seem to have been interrupted on the way, an effect that makes the slot machine seem to have stopped responding, and the like. Furthermore, for light emission, for example, the stop of the change of the lighting mode is called freeze, for sound output, for example, the same sound is continuously output forever is called freeze, and for operation, for example, the operation is performed in the middle. Stopping may be referred to as a freeze.

  In step S108, a reel rotation start process is executed to start rotation of all the reels 110 to 112.

  In step S109, a reel stop control process is performed. In the reel stop control processing, stop buttons 137 to 139 can be received. When any one of the stop buttons is pressed, a stop table of reel stop data is set to stop the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button. With reference to this, any one of the reels 110 to 112 is stopped according to the number of drawn frames set in the stop table. When all the reels 110 to 112 stop, the process proceeds to step S110. In step S109, a stop button accepting command for the stop buttons 137 to 139 that have been stopped for each stop operation (specifically, a stop button accepting 1 command for the first stop operation, a second stop operation , A stop button reception 2 command for the third stop operation, and a stop button reception 3 command for the third stop operation) are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Stop command for the stop position of the first stop reel (specifically, a reel stop 1 command for the first stop reel, a reel stop 2 command for the second stop operation, and a reel stop command for the third stop operation). 3) to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S110, a winning determination process for performing a winning determination is performed. In this winning determination process, when a symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line 114, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. For example, if "Bell-Bell-Bell" is aligned on the activated prize line, it is determined that a small part 3 (Bell) has been won. In this step S110, preparations are made to transmit a winning determination command indicating the result of the winning determination to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S111, a medal giving process is performed. In the medal awarding process, if any winning combination with payout has been won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out according to the number of winning lines.

  In step S112, a game state control process is performed. In the game state control processing, processing relating to transition of each game state of the RT system is performed, and the game state is transitioned when the start condition or the end condition is satisfied. In addition, preparations are made for transmitting a game state command including information indicating the current game state of the RT system.

  In step S113, an effect control process B (to be described in detail later) relating to control of the gaming state of the AT system is executed. In step S114, a high navigation state end process (to be described in detail later) relating to the end of the high navigation state is executed.

  Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, the process returns to step S102 to repeat the above-described processing, whereby the game proceeds. The various commands prepared in the above steps are transmitted in a command setting transmission process (step S2006 in FIG. 11) of a main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

<Main controller timer interrupt processing>
Next, the main control unit timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt processing.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (once about every 2 ms in the present embodiment), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by the timer interrupt signal. The process starts at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S2001, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In the timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step S2002, the WDT 314 is periodically (once) so that the count value of the WDT 314 does not exceed the initial set value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) and a WDT interrupt does not occur (in order not to detect a processing abnormality). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once about every 2 ms which is the cycle of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S2003, an input port state update process is performed. In this input port state update processing, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input ports of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and the detection signals are partitioned in the RAM 308 for each of the various sensors 318. It is stored in the provided signal state storage area.

  In step S2004, various game processes are executed, and a process according to the interrupt status is executed. In step S2005, a timer update process is performed. More specifically, various timers are updated in units of time.

  In step S2006, a command setting transmission process is performed, and various commands prepared for transmission are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the effect control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300, based on the command type included in the received output schedule information, and the command type is included in the output schedule information. The effect control contents can be determined based on the information of the command data.

  In step S2007, an external output signal setting process is performed. In the external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step S2008, a device monitoring process is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, in step S2003, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area are read, and the presence or absence of an error relating to a medal insertion abnormality and a medal payout abnormality is monitored. (Not shown) Error processing is executed. Further, the medal selector 170 (a medal blocker in which a solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 339, and various seven-segment (SEG) indicators are set according to the current gaming state.

  In step S2009, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. If the low-voltage signal is on (when the power-off is detected), the process proceeds to step S2011. If the low-voltage signal is off (the power-off is not detected), the process proceeds to step S2010.

  In step S2010, various processes for ending the timer interrupt end process are performed. In the timer interrupt end processing, the values of the registers temporarily saved in step S2001 are set in the original registers. Thereafter, the process returns to the main control unit main process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S2011, a specific variable and a stack pointer for returning to the state at the time of power failure when power is restored are saved as return data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power failure processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. Then, the process returns to the main control unit main process shown in FIG.

<Process of First Sub Control Unit>
Next, the processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 12B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 12C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, the main processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the power is turned on, first, an initialization process is executed in step S3001. In this initialization process, initialization of input / output ports, initialization of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In this processing, an area for storing internal winning information that is information indicating a result of an internal winning and an area for storing RT update information that is information indicating a gaming state are provided in the RAM 408, respectively.

  In step S3002, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S3003. In step S3003, 0 is substituted for the timer variable. In step S3004, command processing, which is processing corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300, is executed.

  In step S3005, effect control processing is performed. Here, the effect preparation is performed in accordance with the effect reservation information in the effect reservation area provided in the RAM 408. This preparation includes, for example, performing processing such as reading out the effect data from the ROM 406, and performing update processing of the effect data when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S3006, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S3005. For example, if the effect data read in step S3005 includes a command to the sound source IC 418, the command is output to the sound source IC 418. In step S3007, a lamp control process is performed based on the processing result of step S3005. For example, when the effect data read in step S3005 includes a command to various lamps 420, the command is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S3008, a shutter control process is performed based on the processing result of step S3005. For example, if the effect data read in step S3005 includes a command to the shutter 163, the command is output to the drive circuit 424. In step S3009, an information output process for setting to transmit a command to the second sub-control unit 500 based on the processing result in step S3005 is performed. For example, if the effect data read in step S3005 includes a command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500, a setting for outputting this control command is performed, and the process returns to step S3002.

  Next, the command reception interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S3101 of the command reception interrupt processing, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  Next, the first sub-controller timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-controller 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in the present embodiment). Execute in the cycle of

  In step S3201, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S3002 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 12A, and the original value is stored in the timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S3002, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S3202, transmission of the command to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step S3009, updating of the effect random number value, and the like are performed.

<Process of Second Sub-Control Unit>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 13B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 13C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 13D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S4001 in FIG. 13A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, first, an initialization process is executed in step S4001. In this initialization processing, input / output port initialization, storage area initialization processing in the RAM 508, storage area initialization processing in the VRAM 536, and the like are performed.

  In step S4002, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S4003. In step S4003, 0 is substituted for the timer variable. In step S4004, command processing is performed. In the command processing, the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S4005, effect control processing is performed. More specifically, if there is a new command in step S4004, processing corresponding to this command is performed. For example, a process of reading effect data for performing image control on a background image from the ROM 506 is executed. In addition, it also includes a process of reading other effect data from the ROM 506, and performing an effect data update process when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S4006, image control processing (to be described in detail later) is performed based on the processing result of step S4005. For example, if there is an image control command in the effect data read in step S4005, image control corresponding to this command is performed. For example, image control relating to a display image (notification image, background image) is executed. When this image control process ends, the process returns to the step S4002.

  Next, the command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub-control unit 500 detects a strobe signal output from the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S4101 of the command reception interrupt processing, the command output by the first sub control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, the second sub-controller timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-controller 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once every 2 ms in the present embodiment). Execute in the cycle of

  In step S4201, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S4002 in the second sub-controller main processing shown in FIG. 13A, and the original value is stored in the timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S4002, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S4202, update processing of the effect random number is performed.

  Next, the image control process in step S4006 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of the image control process.

  In step S4301, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the drawing area of the display area A and the display area B of the VRAM 536. Thereby, one frame image stored in the display area not specified as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (the transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (the transfer destination address of the VRAM 536), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 534 based on the position information table and the like, and then sets the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 534 transfers image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536 based on an instruction set in the attribute register. After that, the VDP 534 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S4302, it is determined whether or not the transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 534 has been input. If the transfer end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S4303; otherwise, the transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

  In step S4303, parameters are set based on the rendering scenario configuration table, attribute data, and the like. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 536 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 536 in step S4301, the CPU 504 obtains information on the image data constituting the display image (the coordinate axes and the image size of the VRAM 536). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), transmittance, etc.) to the VDP 534. The VDP 534 performs parameter setting according to the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S4304, a drawing instruction is issued. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 534 to start drawing an image. The VDP 534 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer according to an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S4305, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal has been input from the VDP 534 based on the image drawing end. If the generation end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S5306; otherwise, the generation end interrupt signal has been input. Wait for is entered.

  In step S4306, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

<Betting number setting / start operation acceptance processing>
Next, the bet amount setting / start operation accepting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14A is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the bet amount setting / start operation accepting process in step S102 of FIG.

  In step S201, in a state in which medals can be inserted before the start lever operation, a high navigation state update process (to be described in detail later) relating to a transition from the low navigation state to the high navigation state and updating of the high navigation state is executed.

  In step S202, other bet amount setting / start operation acceptance processing is executed. That is, the number of bets is set, and it is determined whether the start lever 135 has been operated.

<High navigation state update processing>
Next, the high navigation state update processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14B is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the high navigation state update processing in step S201 of FIG. 14A.

  In step S301, it is determined whether or not the high navigation state counter> 0. If the high-navigation state counter> 0, the process proceeds to step S302; otherwise, the high-navigation state update process ends. In step S302, the value of the high navigation state counter is decremented by one.

  In step S303, it is determined whether or not the high navigation state flag is off. The high navigation state flag is a flag indicating whether or not the gaming state of the AT system is in the high navigation state. When it is on, it indicates the high navigation state, and when it is off, it indicates the low navigation state. If the high navigation state flag is off, the process proceeds to step S304; otherwise, the high navigation state update processing ends.

  In step S304, the high navigation state flag is turned on. In the present embodiment, an initial value (1000 in this example) is set in the high navigation state counter in a game in which the transition from the low navigation state to the high navigation state is determined (see step S703 in FIG. 16B described later). When the start lever of the next game is operated, the state shifts to the high navigation state. When the high navigation state flag is turned on, the high navigation state lamp 190 starts lighting.

<Effect state control processing A>
Next, the effect state control processing A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15A is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the effect state control processing A in step S106 in FIG.

  In step S401, each game common process (described in detail later) is executed. In step S402, it is determined whether the processing prohibition flag is off. The processing prohibition flag is a flag indicating whether or not to execute processing related to the high navigation state in the high navigation state. When the processing prohibition flag is off, the game is capable of executing the processing related to the high navigation state. When the processing prohibition flag is on, it indicates that the game does not execute the processing related to the high navigation state. If the process prohibition flag is off, the process proceeds to step S403; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S406 if the process prohibition flag is on.

  In step S403, it is determined whether or not the high navigation state flag is off. If the high navigation state flag is off, the process proceeds to step S404. If the high navigation state flag is not off, that is, on, the process proceeds to step S405.

  In step S404, since the vehicle is in the low navigation state, low navigation state processing A (described in detail later) is executed. In step S405, since the vehicle is in the high navigation state, the high navigation state processing A (described in detail later) is executed. In step S406, other effect state control processing A is executed.

  In the effect state control processing A of the present embodiment, a processing prohibition flag is provided, and only when the processing prohibition flag is off, the low navigation state processing A or the high navigation state processing A is executed. You may. In this case, the low navigation state processing A or the high navigation state processing A is always executed in the effect state control processing A.

<Every game common processing>
Next, the common game processing for each game will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15B is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of each game common process in step S401 of FIG. 15A.

  In step S501, it is determined whether a condition for executing the high navigation state related process is satisfied. Here, the condition for executing the high navigation state-related processing is that the game is a recommended number game (in this example, a three-bet game). It should be noted that the recommended number game is not limited to the three game, and the recommended number game may be different for each state of the slot machine. As a result of the determination in step S501, if the condition for executing the high-navigation state-related processing is satisfied (for example, the game is a three-bet game), the process proceeds to step S502; If the game is a two-page bet game), the process proceeds to step S503.

  In step S502, the processing prohibition flag is turned off. In step S503, the processing prohibition flag is turned on. In step S504, other common game processing is executed.

<Low navigation state processing A>
Next, the common game processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16A is a flowchart showing the detailed flow of the low navigation state process A in step S404 of FIG. 15A.

  In step S601, a high navigation state transition process (to be described in detail later) for determining whether to transition to the high navigation state is executed. In step S602, other low navigation state processing A is executed.

<High navigation state transition processing>
Next, the high navigation state transition processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16B is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the high navigation state transition process in step S601 of FIG. 16A.

  In step S701, high navigation state transition determination is performed. In the high navigation state transition determination, when the high navigation state transition condition is satisfied (in this example, when a winning combination other than the losing is won in the winning combination internal lottery process), it is determined that the transition condition is satisfied. It is decided to shift from the game to the high navigation state.

  In step S702, it is determined whether or not the transition to the high navigation state has been determined. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S703; otherwise, the high navigation state transition processing ends.

  In step S703, an initial value (1000 in this example) is set in the high navigation state counter. It is needless to say that the initial value of the high navigation state counter is not limited to 1000, but may be 1500, for example. In step S705, other high navigation state transition processing is executed. Here, the number of games of various games to be executed after shifting to the high navigation state is set, for example, and an initial value (700 in this example) is set as the value of the ceiling counter.

  In step S701, in the high-navigation state transition determination, the transition to the high-navigation state is determined when a winning combination other than the loss is won. However, the high-navigation transition condition is not limited to this. The transition to the high navigation state may be determined based on the result of the lottery used, or the lottery is performed using the lottery value provided for each winning combination, and the transition to the high navigation state is performed based on the result of the lottery. May be determined.

<High navigation state processing A>
Next, the high navigation state processing A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the high navigation state process A in step S405 in FIG.
In step S801, a high navigation state common process (described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S802, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a normal state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S803, and if not, the process proceeds to step S804. In step S803, normal state processing A (described in detail later) is executed. As will be described in detail later, in the normal state processing A, for example, a counter for the number of games in the effect state (a precursor state) is subtracted. In addition, effect setting according to the result of the winning combination internal lottery process is performed for the game.

  In step S804, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a confirmed notification state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S805, and if not, the process proceeds to step S806. In step S805, a fixed notification state process A (to be described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S806, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT1 state. If so, the process proceeds to step S807; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S808. In step S807, AT1 state processing A (described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S808, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a judge state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S809, and if not, the process proceeds to step S810. In step S809, judge state processing A (details will be described later) is executed.

  In step S810, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT2 state. If so, the process proceeds to step S811. If not, the process proceeds to step S812. In step S811, judge state processing A (described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S812, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the withdrawal state. If this is the case, the process proceeds to step S813, and if not, the process proceeds to step S814. In step S813, retraction state processing A (described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S814, an instruction information setting process (to be described in detail later) relating to the setting of the instruction information is executed.

<High navigation state common processing A>
Next, the high navigation state common process A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the high navigation state common process A in step S801 in FIG.

  In step S901, it is determined whether or not the effect state counter> 0. If the effect state counter> 0, the process proceeds to step S902; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S903. In step S902, the value of the effect state counter is decremented by one. Here, the effect state counter is a counter for managing the transition of the effect state. When the number of games in each production state is determined by lottery or a table, the value of the production state counter may be set to a value obtained from a lottery result or a table, or the state may be shifted to a high navigation state. At this time, the number of games in a part or all of the effect states may be determined collectively.

  In step S903, it is determined whether or not the current effect state is the LMT state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S904. If not, the process proceeds to step S909.

  In step S904, it is determined whether or not the value of the high navigation state counter is equal to or less than the LMT transition value A (19 in this example). If so, the process proceeds to step S906; Proceed to step S905. In this example, since the LMT state is 20G, the LMT transition value A is set to 19 (= 20G-1G), but may be another numerical value.

  In step S905, it is determined whether or not the value of the difference number counter is equal to or smaller than the LMT shift value B (1840 in this example). If the value is applicable, the process proceeds to step S906; Proceed to S909. In this example, the configuration is such that the high navigation state is ended when the maximum payout number in the LMT state is 20G, the maximum payout number in the 3-betting game is 11 (the maximum increase number is 8), and the difference number exceeds 2000. Therefore, the LMT shift value B is set to 1840 (= 2000 sheets−8 sheets × 20 G), but may be another numerical value.

  In step S906, the LMT initial value (19 in this example) is set in the effect state counter. In the next step S907, freeze information (various information for executing the freeze effect) is set. In step S908, after the LMT state is set as the effect state, the process proceeds to step S909. Thereby, the effect state shifts from the game to the LMT state. In this example, in order to shift from the game to the LMT state, the LMT initial value is set to 19 (= 20G-1G), but another numerical value may be used.

  In step S909, after performing other high navigation state common processing A, the high navigation state common processing A ends.

<Normal state processing A>
Next, the normal state processing A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the normal state processing A in step S803 in FIG.

  In step S1001, it is determined whether or not ceiling counter> 0. If ceiling counter> 0, the process proceeds to step S1002; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1003. In step S1002, the value of the ceiling counter is decremented by one. Here, the ceiling counter is a counter for managing the number of games to the ceiling. In the present embodiment, an initial value (700 in this example) is set in the ceiling counter in step S705 of the high navigation state transition processing described with reference to FIG. You may.

  In step S1003, it is determined whether the AT1 winning flag is off or on. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S1004, and if it is on, the process proceeds to step S1011. In step S1004, it is determined whether or not the ceiling counter is 0, and if it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1007, and if not, the process proceeds to step 1005. In step S1005, an AT1 transfer lottery is performed. Here, the AT1 transfer lottery is a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to the AT1 state. In this example, the success or failure is determined based on a result of an internal lottery process of a winning combination, a random number value, or the like. Note that the content of the AT1 shift lottery is not limited to this example. For example, whether to win or not may be determined in consideration of the value of the high navigation state counter or the like, or a point may be determined based on the result of the internal lottery process of the winning combination. May be given, and the determination may be made based on the points.

  In step S1006, it is determined whether or not the player has won the AT1 transfer lottery in step S1005. If the player has won, the process proceeds to step S1007, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1016. In step S1007, an AT1 type lottery is performed. Here, the AT1 type lottery is a lottery for determining the type of the AT1 state, and in this example, the type is determined to be either “high” or “low” based on a random number value or the like. Note that the content of the AT1 type lottery is not limited to this example. For example, “high” is selected as the AT1 type in the lottery in the case of winning the AT1 shift lottery than in the lottery in the case of reaching the ceiling. A configuration that is easy (or difficult to select) may be adopted.

  In step S1008, the result of the AT1 type lottery in step S1007 is set to the AT1 type, and in the next step S1009, the number of games is determined by lottery, and the number of games is set in the effect state counter. In step S1010, after turning on the AT1 winning flag, the process proceeds to step S1016.

  In step S1011, it is determined whether the AT1 type is “low”. If it is, the process proceeds to step S1012, and if not, the process proceeds to step 1014. In step S1012, a promotion counter addition lottery is performed. Here, the promotion counter addition lottery is a lottery for determining a numerical value to be added to the promotion counter, and in this example, the numerical value is determined based on a random number value or the like. In step S1013, the numerical value (lottery result value) determined in the promotion counter addition lottery in step S1012 is added to the promotion counter, and then the process proceeds to step S1016.

  In step S1014, a judge mode lottery is performed. Here, the judge mode lottery is a lottery for determining any one of a plurality of judge modes (in this example, three types of “normal”, “high accuracy”, and “heaven”). In this example, the judge mode is determined based on a random number value or the like. In step S1015, after the lottery result of the judge mode lottery in step S1014 is set to the judge mode, the process proceeds to step S1016. In step S1106, after performing other normal state processing A, the normal state processing A ends.

<Fixed notification state processing A>
Next, the confirmation notification state process A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the confirmation notification state process A of step S805 in FIG.

  In step S1101, it is determined whether the AT1 type is “low”. If the AT1 type is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1102; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 1107. In step S1102, a promotion counter addition lottery is performed. As described above, the promotion counter addition lottery is a lottery for determining a numerical value to be added to the promotion counter, and in this example, the numerical value is determined based on a random number value or the like. In step S1103, the numerical value (lottery result value) determined in the promotion counter addition lottery in step S1102 is added to the promotion counter, and the process proceeds to step S1104.

  In step S1104, it is determined whether or not the value of the promotion counter is equal to or greater than the ceiling value (for example, 700). If the value is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1105, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1109. In step S1105, "high" is set for the AT1 type, and in the next step S1106, "high accuracy" is set for the judge mode, and the flow advances to step S1109.

  In step S1107, a judge mode lottery is performed. As described above, the judge mode lottery is a lottery for determining one of a plurality of judge modes (in this example, three types of “normal”, “high accuracy”, and “heaven”). In this example, the judge mode is determined based on a random number value or the like. In step S1108, the lottery result of the judge mode lottery in step S1107 is set to the judge mode, and the process proceeds to step S1109. In step S1109, after performing other finalized notification state processing A, the finalized notification state processing A ends.

<AT1 state processing A>
Next, the AT1 state processing A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the AT1 state processing A in step S807 of FIG.

  In step S1201, a judge mode lottery is performed. As described above, the judge mode lottery is a lottery for determining one of a plurality of judge modes (in this example, three types of “normal”, “high accuracy”, and “heaven”). In this example, the judge mode is determined based on a random number value or the like. In step S1202, the lottery result of the judge mode lottery in step S1201 is set to the judge mode, and the process proceeds to step S1203. In step S1203, after performing other AT1 state processing A, the AT1 state processing A ends.

<Judge state processing A>
Next, the judge state process A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the judge state process A in step S809 in FIG.

  In step S1301, it is determined whether or not the cancellation counter> 0. If the release counter is greater than 0, the process proceeds to step S1302; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1304. In step S1302, the value of the cancellation counter is decremented by one. Here, the release counter is a counter for managing the number of games until the judge mode is released. In the present embodiment, the lottery value is set to the cancellation counter in step S2104 of the AT1 state process B described later, but may be another numerical value. In step S1303, it is determined whether or not the cancellation counter = 0. If the release counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S1306; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1304.

  In step S1304, a cancellation lottery according to the judge mode is performed. In the next step S1305, if the cancellation lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S1306, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1307. . Here, the cancellation lottery is a lottery that determines whether or not to shift to the AT2 state. In this example, if the judge mode is heaven and the lottery is released, the heaven in the judge mode is continued without shifting to the AT2 state. If the judge mode is in heaven and a specific rare role (in this example, small role 2 or small role 3) is internally won, the AT2 has a 100% probability regardless of the result of the cancellation lottery. Transition to the state. The content of the cancellation lottery is not limited to this example, and may be, for example, a lottery for determining whether or not to shift to a certain specialization zone.

  In step S1306, after the determined state is set to the judge state, the process proceeds to step S1307. In this example, in step S1303, when it is determined that the cancellation counter is 0 (when the heaven in the judge mode ends), the AT2 state is set to the judge state in step S1306. That is, in this example, when the heaven in the judge mode ends, the state shifts to the AT2 state with a probability of 100%. In steps S1304 to S1305, when the judge mode is heaven and the lottery is released, the heaven in the judge mode is set to the judge state. Also, in steps S1304 to S1305, if the judge mode is heaven and a specific rare combination (in this example, small combination 2 or small combination 3) is internally won, regardless of the result of the cancellation lottery, In step S1306, the AT2 state is set to the judge state.

  In step S1307, after performing other judge state processing A, the AT1 state processing A ends.

<AT2 state processing A>
Next, the AT2 state processing A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the AT2 state process A in step S811 of FIG.

  In step S1401, an AT number addition lottery is performed. Here, the AT number addition lottery is a lottery for determining the number of games to be added (added) to the number of AT games. In step S1402, a lottery result value (number of additional games) of the AT number addition lottery is added to the effect state counter.

  In step S1403, a judge mode lottery is performed. As described above, the judge mode lottery is a lottery for determining one of a plurality of judge modes (in this example, three types of “normal”, “high accuracy”, and “heaven”). In this example, the judge mode is determined based on a random number value or the like. In step S1403, the lottery result of the judge mode lottery in step S1401 is set to the judge mode, and the process proceeds to step S1404. In step S1404, after performing other AT2 state processing A, the AT2 state processing A ends.

<Retraction state processing A>
Next, the retraction state processing A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the retraction state processing A in step S813 of FIG.

  In step S1501, a pull-back lottery is performed. In step SS1502, it is determined whether or not the pull-out lottery has been won. If the win has been won, the process proceeds to step S1503. If not, the process proceeds to step S1504. In step S1503, the determined state is set as the retraction state. In this example, the lottery result of the retraction lottery in step S1501 is set to the retraction state. In step S1504, after performing other withdrawal state processing A, the withdrawal state processing A ends.

<Instruction information setting process>
Next, the instruction information setting process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing details of the flow of the instruction information setting process in step S814 of FIG.

  In step S1601, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a state in which instruction information can be notified. Here, the indication information notification enabled state indicates the AT1, AT2, and LMT states in this example. If the effect state is the instruction information informing state, the process proceeds to step S1602; otherwise, the instruction information setting process ends.

  In step S1602, it is determined whether or not an internal winning has been achieved for the pushing combination in the winning combination internal lottery process. In this example, the pushing order means an internal win of “small win 4” in the condition apparatus. If the internal winning has been achieved for the pushing order, the process proceeds to step S1603; otherwise, the instruction information setting process ends.

  In step S1603, the pressing order of the correct answer is set in the information (instruction information) related to the notification content of the instruction information notification. As a result, the operation navigation using the payout number display 127 is executed (see FIG. 8). Although not shown, in step S1603, other operation navigation information setting processing is executed. For example, a preparation is made to transmit an operation navigation command including instruction information indicating the order of pressing the correct answer to the first sub-control unit 400. As a result, the operation navigation using the effect image display device 157 is executed by the first sub control unit 400.

  In the confirmation notification state of the present example, the medals continue to decrease until the small win corresponding to the AT1 type wins. Therefore, it is ensured that the payout ratio is less than 1 and, for example, the push-down play is performed. When the internal winning is performed, the operation navigation is executed only for a specific type of pressing order (for example, when the internal winning is performed for the small role 4, any one of the small role 4LCR,..., The small role 4RCL or The operation navigation may be executed for a plurality of times, or the operation navigation may be executed once in three times (for example, if the player cannot win three times in the pressing order, the next pressing order may be executed). The pressing order navigation may be executed when the role is internally won).

<Production state control processing B>
Next, the effect state control processing B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the effect state control processing B in step S113 in FIG.

  In step S1701, it is determined whether the processing prohibition flag is off. If the processing prohibition flag is off, the process proceeds to step S1702; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1705. In step S1702, it is determined whether the high navigation state flag is off. If the high navigation state flag is off, the process proceeds to step S1703. If the high navigation state flag is not off, that is, if the high navigation state flag is on, the process proceeds to step S1704.

  In step S1703, since it is in the low navigation state, the low navigation state processing B is executed. Although illustration is omitted, in the low navigation state processing B, when the transition to the high navigation state is determined, processing for setting an effect state based on information on each effect state is performed.

  On the other hand, in step S1704, since the vehicle is in the high navigation state, high navigation state processing B (described in detail later) is executed. In step S1705, after performing the other effect state control processing B, the effect state control processing B ends.

<High navigation state processing B>
Next, the high navigation state processing B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the high navigation state process B in step S1704 of FIG.

  In step S1801, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a normal state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1802, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1803. In step S1802, normal state processing B (to be described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S1803, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a confirmed notification state. If the state is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1804, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1805. In step S1804, a confirmation notification state process B (to be described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S1805, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT1 state. If so, the process proceeds to step S1806; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1807. In step S1806, an AT1 status process B (to be described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S1807, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a judge state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1808, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1809. In step S1808, a judge state process B (to be described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S1809, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT2 state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1810, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1811. In step S1812, AT2 state processing B (described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S1811, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the withdrawal state. If this is the case, the process proceeds to step S1812, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1813. In step S1812, a retraction state process B (to be described in detail later) is executed.

  In step S1813, after performing the LMT state processing B (to be described in detail later), the high navigation state processing B ends.

<Normal state processing B>
Next, the normal state process B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the normal state processing B in step S1802 in FIG.

  In step S1901, it is determined whether or not the effect state counter is 0 (whether or not the normal state has ended). If the effect state counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S1902; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1903. In step S1902, the process proceeds to step S1903 after setting the final notification state to the effect state. As a result, in the next game, the effect state shifts from the normal state to the confirmation notification state, and an effect (for example, a bonus confirmation display) according to the confirmation notification state is started. In step S1903, after performing other normal state processing B, the normal state processing B ends.

<Fixed notification state processing B>
Next, the confirmation notification state process B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the fixed notification state process B in step S1804 of FIG.

  In step S2001, it is determined whether the confirmation notification flag is off or on. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S2002, and if it is on, the process proceeds to step S2003. In step S2002, after the confirmation notification flag is turned on, the process proceeds to step S2006. In step S2003, it is determined whether or not the result is an internal winning result of the AT1 type.

  Specifically, in this example, when the AT1 type is low, it is determined whether or not the internal winning result is “re-gaming combination 2, 4 to 10” of the condition device No. 3, and the AT1 type is If the result is high, it is determined whether or not the internal winning result is “re-game combination 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 to 13” of the condition device No. 4. If the result of the determination is true, the process proceeds to step S2004; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2006.

  In step S2004, the AT1 initial value (20 in this example) is set in the effect state counter. In the next step S2005, the effect state is set to the AT1 state, and then the process proceeds to step S2006. As a result, in the next game, the effect state shifts from the confirmed notification state to the AT1 state, and an effect (for example, operation navigation) according to the AT1 state is started. In the present embodiment, an initial value (20 in this example) is set in the effect state counter in step S2004, but another value may be used. In step S2006, after performing other determined notification state processing B, the determined notification state processing B ends.

<AT1 state processing B>
Next, the AT1 state processing B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the AT1 state process B in step S1806 in FIG.

  In step S2101, it is determined whether or not the effect state counter is 0 (whether or not the AT1 state has ended). If the effect state counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S2102; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2106. In step S2102, a judge initial value (10 in this example) is set in the effect state counter. In the present embodiment, an initial value (10 in this example) is set in the effect state counter in step S2102, but may be another numerical value. Therefore, for example, the initial value may be changed according to the production state immediately before the judge state, or the initial value may be determined by lottery.

  In step S2103, it is determined whether or not the judge mode is heaven. If the judge mode is applicable, the process proceeds to step S2104. If not, the process proceeds to step S2105. In step S2104, the lottery value (the number of games) determined by lottery is set in the cancellation counter, and then the process proceeds to step 2105. Although the content of the lottery in step S2104 is not particularly limited, in this example, a smaller value is selected as the set value is higher, a smaller value is selected when there is stock in the heaven mode, and the value of the high navigation state counter is smaller. The configuration is such that a smaller numerical value is selected.

  In step S2105, the process proceeds to step S2106 after setting the judge state to the effect state. As a result, in the next game, the effect state shifts from the AT1 state to the judge state, and an effect according to the judge state is started. In step S2106, after performing other AT1 state processing B, the AT1 state processing B ends.

<Judge state processing B>
Next, the judge state process B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the judge state process B in step S1808 of FIG.

  In step S2201, it is determined whether or not the judge state is determined (whether or not the judge has succeeded). If the judgment is made, the process proceeds to step S2202; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2205. In step S2202, an AT twice initial number lottery is performed. This AT2 number initial number lottery is a lottery for determining the number of games in the AT2 state. In this example, one of the numerical values of 30, 50, 55, 66, and 100 is selected by lottery. Note that, as an exception, when the setting value is setting 5, 55 is selected regardless of the lottery, and when the setting value is setting 6, 66 is selected regardless of the lottery.

  In step S2203, the lottery value (the number of games) of the AT2 initial number lottery is set in the effect state counter, and the process proceeds to step S2204. In step S2204, after setting the AT2 state to the effect state, the process proceeds to step S2208. Thereby, in the next game, the effect state shifts from the judge state to the AT2 state, and the effect according to the AT2 state is started.

  In step S2205, it is determined whether or not the effect state counter is 0 (whether or not the judge state has ended). If so, the process proceeds to step S2206; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2208. In step S2206, a retraction initial value (1 in this example) is set in the effect state counter, and in the next step S2207, the effect state is set to the retraction state. Thereby, in the next game, the effect state shifts from the AT2 state to the withdrawal state, and the effect according to the withdrawal state is started.

  In the present embodiment, the return initial value (1 in this example) is set in the effect state counter in step S2206, but may be another numerical value. Therefore, for example, it may be a fixed value other than 1 or 1 + α (variable value). In step S2208, after performing the other judgment state processing B, the judgment state processing B ends.

<AT2 state processing B>
Next, the AT2 state processing B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the AT2 state process B in step S1810 in FIG.

  In step S2301, it is determined whether or not the effect state counter is 0 (whether or not the AT2 state has ended). If the effect state counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S2302; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2306. In step S2302, a judge initial value (10 in this example) is set in the effect state counter. In the present embodiment, the initial value (10 in this example) is set in the effect state counter in step S2302, but may be another numerical value. Therefore, for example, the initial value may be changed according to the production state immediately before the judge state, or the initial value may be determined by lottery.

  In step S2303, it is determined whether or not the judge mode is heaven. If it is, the process proceeds to step S2304. If not, the process proceeds to step S2305. In step S2304, the lottery value (the number of games) determined by lottery is set in the cancellation counter, and the process proceeds to step 2305. Although the content of the lottery in step S2304 is not particularly limited, in this example, a smaller value is selected as the set value is higher, a smaller value is selected when there is stock in the heaven mode, and the value of the high navigation state counter is smaller. The configuration is such that a smaller numerical value is selected.

  In step S2305, the process proceeds to step S2306 after setting the judge state to the effect state. Thereby, in the next game, the effect state shifts from the AT2 state to the judge state, and the effect according to the judge state is started. In step S2306, after performing other AT2 state processing B, the AT2 state processing B ends.

<Retraction state processing B>
Next, the retraction state processing B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the retraction state process B in step S1812 of FIG.

  In step S2401, it is determined whether or not the withdrawal state is determined (whether or not to withdraw). If it is true, the process proceeds to step S2402. If not, the process proceeds to step S2405. In step S2402, the initial number of times of AT is determined by lottery. This AT2 number initial number lottery is a lottery for determining the number of games in the AT2 state. In this example, one of the numerical values of 30, 50, 55, 66, and 100 is selected by lottery. Note that, as an exception, when the setting value is setting 5, 55 is selected regardless of the lottery, and when the setting value is setting 6, 66 is selected regardless of the lottery.

  In step S2404, the process goes to step S2407 after setting the AT2 state to the effect state. Thereby, in the next game, the effect state shifts from the retraction state to the AT2 state, and the effect according to the AT2 state is started. In the present embodiment, in the initial hit (the transition from the low navigation state to the first AT state after the transition from the high navigation state to the first AT state), the effect state is transitioned to AT1, whereas in the judge state or the retraction state. The effect state is shifted to AT2 which is more advantageous to the player than AT1.

  In step S2405, it is determined whether or not the effect state counter is 0 (whether or not the retraction state has been completed). If so, the process proceeds to step S2406; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2407. In step S2406, the high navigation state end standby flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to step S2407. In step S2407, after performing other withdrawal state processing B, the withdrawal state processing B ends.

<LMT state processing B>
Next, the LMT state processing B will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the LMT state processing B in step S1813 in FIG.

  In step S2501, it is determined whether or not the effect state counter is 0 (whether or not the LMT state has ended). If the effect state counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S2502; otherwise, the LMT state process B ends. In step S2502, the high navigation state end standby flag is set to ON, and the process proceeds to step S2503. In step S2503, after performing other LMT state processing B, the LMT state processing B ends.

<High navigation state end processing>
Next, the high navigation state end processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the high-navigation state end processing in step S114 in FIG.

  In step S2601, it is determined whether the high navigation state flag is on. If the high-navigation state flag is on, the process proceeds to step S2602; otherwise, the high-navigation state end processing ends. In step S2602, it is determined whether the high-navigation state end standby flag is on. If the high-navigation-state end standby flag is on, the process proceeds to step S2603; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2604.

  In step S2603, the high navigation state end standby flag is turned off. After the processing in step S2603, the process proceeds to step S2606.

  In step S2604, it is determined whether the value of the high navigation state counter is 0. This corresponds to the case where the value of the high-navigation state counter may become 0 before the high-navigation state end standby flag is turned on when there is a game with the processing prohibition flag on. It is. If the value of the high navigation state counter is 0, the process proceeds to step S2606; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2605.

  In step S2605, it is determined whether or not the difference number counter> the high-navigation-state end maximum value. If so, the process proceeds to step S2606. If not, the high-navigation state end processing ends. This is because if there is a game in which the processing prohibition flag is on, the condition of the difference number counter> the high navigation state end maximum value may be satisfied before the high navigation state end standby flag is turned on. It corresponds to the case.

  In step S2606, the high navigation state flag is turned off. As a result, the lit high navigation state lamp 190 is turned off. In step S2607, after executing other high navigation state end processing, the high navigation state end processing is ended. In other high-navigation state end processing, for example, processing for setting the AT-related gaming state to a low-navigation state (normal mode), initializing various flags and counters used for transition control of the high-navigation state, and the like are performed. Do.

<Normal state processing A (Modification 1)>
Next, a normal state process A according to the first modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 36 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 19 and is a flowchart showing the flow of the normal state process A according to the first modification in detail. Note that the same processing as the normal state processing A described with reference to FIG. 19 is denoted by the same reference numeral in the figure, and description thereof is omitted.

  The normal state processing A according to Modification 1 is obtained by deleting the processing of steps S1012 to S1013 and adding the processing of steps S1021 to S1025 to the normal state processing A described with reference to FIG.

  Step S1021 is a process that is executed when it is determined in step S1004 that the ceiling counter is 0. In this example, in step S1021, a process of setting the ceiling arrival flag to ON is executed.

  Step S1022 is a process executed when it is determined that the AT1 type is “low”. In this example, in step S1022, it is determined whether the ceiling arrival flag is off or on, and In this case, the process proceeds to step S1023; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1016. In step S1023, it is determined whether or not the ceiling counter is 0. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1024, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1016.

  In step S1024, "high" is set for the AT1 type. In the next step S1025, the judge mode is set to "high accuracy", and then the process proceeds to step S1106.

  In the normal state processing A described with reference to FIG. 19, the AT1 type is set to “low” or “high” when the ceiling arrives in the normal state, and after shifting to the finalized notification state, the AT1 type is changed from “low” to “high”. ". On the other hand, in the normal state processing A according to the first modification, the state is managed only by the ceiling counter without using the promotion counter, and when the ceiling counter becomes 0, the AT1 type is set to “low”. And promoted to "high", and the judge mode is set accurately.

<Normal state processing A (Modification 2)>
Next, a normal state process A according to Modification 2 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 37 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 19 and is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the normal state process A according to the second modification. Note that the same processes as those in the normal state process A described with reference to FIG. 19 and the normal state process A (Modification 1) described with reference to FIG. 36 are denoted by the same reference numerals in the figure, and description thereof is omitted. I do.

  The normal state process A according to Modification 2 is different from the normal state process A described with reference to FIG. 19 in that the processes in steps S1012 to S1013 are deleted, and the processes in steps S1021 to S1025 and the processes in steps S1031 to S1032 are performed. Is added.

  Step S1031 is a process that is executed when it is determined in step S1022 that the ceiling arrival flag is on. In this example, after executing the promotion counter addition lottery in step S1031, in the next step S1032 After adding the numerical value (lottery result value) determined by the promotion counter addition lottery to the promotion counter, the process proceeds to step S1016.

  In the normal state processing A according to the first modification, the state is managed only by the ceiling counter without using the promotion counter, and when the ceiling counter becomes 0, the AT1 type is changed from “low” to “high”. It was configured to be promoted and to set the judge mode accurately. On the other hand, in the normal state processing A according to the second modification, when the ceiling counter becomes 0, the AT1 type is promoted from “low” to “high”, and the judge mode is set accurately. However, the state is managed using a promotion counter, and if the value of the promotion counter is equal to or higher than the ceiling value, the AT1 type is promoted from "low" to "high". I have.

<Fixed Notification State Processing A (Modification 1)>
Next, a fixed notification state process A according to the first modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 38 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 20, and is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the fixed notification state process A according to the first modification. Note that the same processes as those in the fixed notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20 are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawing, and description thereof is omitted.

  The finalized notification state process A according to the first modification is obtained by deleting the processes of steps S1102 to S1104 and adding the processes of steps S1121 to S1125 to the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. .

  In step S1120, it is determined whether or not ceiling counter> 0. If ceiling counter> 0, the process proceeds to step S1121, otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1101. In step S1121, the value of the ceiling counter is decremented by one.

  Step S1123 is a process executed when the AT1 type is determined to be “low” in step S1101. In this example, in step S1123, it is determined whether the ceiling arrival flag is off or on, and In this case, the process proceeds to step S1124; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1109. In step S1124, it is determined whether or not the ceiling counter is 0. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1125, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1109. In step S1125, the process proceeds to step S1105 after setting the ceiling flag to ON.

  In the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20, after transitioning to the finalized notification state, the AT1 type is promoted from "low" to "high". On the other hand, in the finalized notification state process A according to the first modification, the state is managed only by the ceiling counter without using the promotion counter, and when the ceiling counter becomes 0 in the finalized notification state, the AT1 The type is promoted from "low" to "high", and the judge mode is set accurately.

<Fixed Notification State Processing A (Modification 2)>
Next, the fixed notification state process A according to the second modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 39 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 20, and is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the fixed notification state process A according to the second modification. Note that the same processes as those in the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20 and the finalized notification state process A (Modified Example 2) described with reference to FIG. Is omitted.

  The finalized notification state process A according to the second modification differs from the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20 in that the processes of steps S1102 to S1104 are deleted, and the processes of steps S1121 to S1125 and step S1131 are performed. S1133 is added.

  Step S1131 is processing executed when it is determined in step S1101 that the AT1 type is “low”. In this example, after executing the promotion counter addition lottery in step S1131, the next step S1132 is performed. In, after the numerical value (lottery result value) determined by the promotion counter addition lottery is added to the promotion counter, the process proceeds to step S1133. In step S1133, it is determined whether or not the value of the promotion counter is equal to or larger than the ceiling value. If the value is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1105, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1123.

  In the finalized notification state process A according to the first modification, the state is managed only by the ceiling counter without using the promotion counter, and when the ceiling counter becomes 0 in the finalized notification state, the AT1 type is set to “low”. From "high" to "high". On the other hand, in the finalized notification state process A according to the second modified example, the AT1 type is promoted from “low” to “high” when the ceiling counter becomes 0 in the finalized notification state. Further, the state is managed using the promotion counter, and when the value of the promotion counter is equal to or higher than the ceiling value, the AT1 type is promoted from “low” to “high”, while the value of the promotion counter is less than the ceiling value. Is configured to promote the AT1 type from “low” to “high” when the ceiling counter is 0.

<Fixed Notification State Processing A and Fixed Notification State Processing B (Modification 3)>
Next, a fixed notification state process A and a fixed notification state process B according to Modification 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 40 and 41. FIG. 40 is a view corresponding to FIG. 20 and is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the finalized notification state process A according to the third modification. FIG. 41 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 29, and is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the confirmation notification state process B according to the third modification. Note that the same processes as those in the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20 and the finalized notification state process B described with reference to FIG. 29 are denoted by the same reference numerals in the figure, and description thereof is omitted.

  The finalized notification state process A according to the third modification illustrated in FIG. 40 is obtained by adding the process of step S1140 to the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. Step S1140 is processing executed when it is determined in step S1104 that the promotion counter is equal to or higher than the ceiling value. In step S1140, the process proceeds to step S1109 after setting the promotion flag to ON.

  The finalized notification state process B according to the third modification illustrated in FIG. 41 is obtained by adding the processes of steps S2010 to S2012 to the finalized notification state process B described with reference to FIG. Step S2010 is a process executed when it is determined in step S2001 that the finalized notification flag is on. In step S2010, it is determined whether the promotion flag is on or off. The process proceeds to step S2003 if it is off.

  In step S2011, it is determined whether the promotion notification is off or on. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S2012, and if it is on, the process proceeds to step S2003. In step S2012, after the promotion notification is turned on, the process proceeds to step S2006.

  In the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20 and the finalized notification state process B described with reference to FIG. 29, if the AT1 type is “low”, the promotion counter is not added. It was configured so that the internal winning of No. 4 did not occur at the same time. On the other hand, in the finalized notification state processing A and the finalized notification state processing B according to the third modification, the promotion of the AT1 type and the internal winning of the condition device No. 4 can be simultaneously generated. It is configured not to shift to the state. With such a configuration, the operation navigation and the promotion effect at the time of the AT1 type promotion can be prevented from being executed at the same time, so that only the promotion effect can be shown firmly to the player, and the interest of the player can be enhanced. May be able to.

  Note that when the normal state processing A according to the first modification described with reference to FIG. 36 or the normal state processing A according to the second modification described with reference to FIG. 37 is applied, the AT1 type promotion in the ceiling reaching game is performed. And the internal winning of the condition device No. 4 may occur at the same time. In this case, as in the third modification, the promotion flag is used to prevent the game that has occurred at the same time from shifting to the AT1 state. I just need.

<Modification of First Embodiment>
Next, a slot machine according to a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, in order to avoid redundant description, only a configuration different from the game console according to the first embodiment will be described in principle. Reference numerals shown in FIGS. 42 to 51 are used only in principle for describing the modified example of the first embodiment. Even when duplicated numerals are shown in other drawings, the first embodiment will be described. In the description of the modified example, the reference numerals shown in FIGS.

<Type of winning combinations>
First, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 42 is a diagram showing types of winning combinations (including operating combinations), symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and operation or payout of each winning combination.

  The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include a special combination (special combination 1) and a general combination (re-gaming combination 1 to re-gaming combination 3 and small combination 1 to small combination 3). Note that the types of winning combinations are not limited to these combinations, and may be arbitrarily adopted.

  Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the special combination 1 is a combination that shifts to a special game state in which a predetermined profit is given to the player. In addition, the re-gaming combinations 1 to 3 are combinations that enable re-gaming without inserting new medals. These winning combinations may be referred to as “operators”. The “winning” in the present embodiment also includes a case where a symbol combination of an actor without a medal payout (without a medal payout) is displayed on the activated line. The winning of the re-gaming combinations 1 to 3 is included.

  The special combination 1 is a combination (operating combination) that shifts to a special game state by winning. It should be noted that no medal is paid out for winning the role itself. The corresponding symbol combination is “BAR-BAR-BAR”.

  When the special combination 1 is internally won, a special combination internal winning flag corresponding to the internally won combination is set to ON (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When the flag is set to ON by the internal winning of the special combination 1, the main control unit 300 shifts the gaming state to a special internal winning state (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT2).

  This flag is kept on until the internally won combination is won, and the internally won combination is easily won in the next and subsequent games. That is, even if the special role 1 is not internally won in the game that has been internally won, the special role is internally won in the next and subsequent games, and the symbol combination corresponding to the special role (in this example, “BAR- BAR-BAR "symbol combination), and the state is easy to win. The special role internal winning state (RT3) will be described later.

  The main controller 300 shifts the gaming state to a special gaming state (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT4) based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1. Further, in this special game state, when a predetermined number (300 in this example) is paid out, the game is shifted to a re-game low probability state (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT1). The special game state (RT3) and the re-game low probability state (RT1) will be described later.

  The “re-gaming role (re-gaming role 1 to re-gaming role 3)” is a prize-winning role (operating role) capable of performing a game without inserting a medal (game medium) in a next game by winning. No medals will be paid out. In addition, the corresponding symbol combination is such that the replaying role 1 is “replay-replay-replay (normal replay)”, the replaying role 2 is “bell-replay-replay (promotion replay)”, and the replaying role 3 is “replay-replay. Replay-bell (falling replay 2) ".

  “Small win (small win 1 to small win 3)” is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and the corresponding symbol combination is “ANY-Cherry-ANY” in small win 1 and 2 in small win. The “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon (watermelon 1)” and the small role 3 are “bell-bell-bell (bell)”. The corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG. In the case of “ANY-Cherry-ANY”, the symbol on the middle reel 111 may be “Cherry”, and the symbols on the left reel 110 and the right reel 112 may be any symbols. In addition, when the small win 2 (watermelon 1) is internally won, since the watermelon symbols are arranged beyond four frames, if the timing for operating the stop buttons 137 to 139 is not appropriate, the watermelon symbols will be a winning line. Do not stop at

<Type of game state>
Next, the types and transitions of the gaming state of the slot machine according to the modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 43 (a) is a transition diagram of a game state of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine according to the modification of the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The main control unit 300 of the slot machine according to the modification of the first embodiment of the present invention is roughly classified into a low replay probability state (RT1), a high replay probability state (RT4), and a special role internal winning state (RT2). , And a special game state (RT3). In the present embodiment, the game state roughly divided into the four is referred to as an RT-based game state. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 300 also controls a state related to a so-called AT (assist time) (hereinafter, referred to as an AT-based game state), and according to the AT-based game state determined by the main control unit 300, The first sub-control unit 400 sets a game state. The game state of the AT system will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Note that the low replay probability state (RT1) is a state in which the probability that the condition device related to the replay combination is not fluctuating (default state), a high replay probability state (RT4), a special combination internal winning state (RT2) ) And the special game state (RT3) are also states in which the probability that the condition device relating to the replaying combination will operate varies from the default state.

<Lottery table>
FIG. 44 (a) is a diagram showing a lottery table used in the internal lottery process of the winning combination. The horizontal axis represents each game state (game state of the RT system), and the vertical axis represents the lottery value of each winning combination.

  The internal winning probability of a winning combination in each game state described below is calculated based on random data obtained from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306 by obtaining numerical data corresponding to the range of the random drawing data associated with each winning combination at the time of the internal random drawing. It is determined by a value obtained by dividing by numerical data (for example, 65535) in a numerical value range. For example, in the replay low probability state (RT1), the lottery value of the small win 2 is 512, and the winning probability of the small win 1 is 512/65536 × 100 ≒ 0.8%. The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each character range and loss are associated with each numerical range.

  The random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery is determined to be a value corresponding to the lottery data corresponding to which combination, and the internal lottery combination is determined. This lottery data is provided with settings 1 to 6 in which the winning probabilities of at least one role are different, and a game store attendant or the like can arbitrarily select and set any one of the set values. Note that the internal winning probability shown in this figure is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this probability.

  Hereinafter, the gaming state of the RT system of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

<Re-game low probability state (RT1)>
The re-game low probability state is a game state in which the internal winning probability of the re-game is the lowest (unfavorable to the player) among other game states (for example, game states excluding the special game state), and is referred to as a normal game state. There is also. In the re-game low probability state, the winning combination to be internally won is randomly selected with reference to the lottery table in the row of “RT1” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG.

  The winning combinations that are internally won in the re-game low probability state include special role 1, special role 1 + small role 1, special role 1 + small role 2, re-game role 1, re-game role 1 + re-game role 2, small role 1, There are a small role 2, a small role 3a, and a small role 3b. If the winning combination is not won, the game is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed. In addition, the case where the symbol combination related to the winning is not stopped in the winning line may be referred to as “losing”. In addition, the fact that the player did not win the winning combination may be expressed as “the winner has been lost”.

  Here, “special combination 1 + small combination 1” indicates that special combination 1 and small combination 1 have been internally won at the same time. Similarly, “special combination 1 + small combination 2” indicates that special combination 1 and small combination 2 have been internally won at the same time. In these cases, it is determined whether the symbol combination corresponding to any of the winning combinations is displayed according to the operation of the player. More specifically, as long as it is not possible to win any of the internally won combinations on any of the winning lines, the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning line are stopped.

  Further, “re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 2” indicates that re-gaming role 1 and re-gaming role 2 have been internally won at the same time. In this case, it is determined which combination of symbols is displayed according to the player's operation sequence. More specifically, when the stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct operation order that is a predetermined operation order, a symbol combination (promotion replay) corresponding to the replaying combination 2 is displayed on the winning line (see FIG. a) In the remarks column, see the correct answer in the pushing order), otherwise, the symbol combination (normal replay) corresponding to the replaying game 1 is displayed on the winning line (FIG. 44 (a) in the remarks column) , Push order incorrect answer).

  Combinations in which the winning combination is determined by the operation order, such as “re-combination 1 + re-combination 2”, may be referred to as “push-combination”.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 44 (b), the operation sequence of the correct answer of “re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 2” will be described in detail. FIG. 44 (b) is a diagram illustrating the correct answer operation sequence of the pushing sequence of the present embodiment.

  The “re-game part 1 + re-game part 2” is precisely set to be subdivided into three “re-game part 2L”, “re-game part 2C”, and “re-game part 2R”, A different correct answer operation order is assigned to each of the subdivided “re-games 1 + re-games 2”. Note that the range of the lottery data associated with each of the three subdivided “re-games 1 + re-games 2” is the same.

  For example, in a case where “re-gaming role 2L” of “re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 2” is internally won, a stop operation using the first stop reel as the left reel 110 is a correct operation, and other operations are not performed. The stop operation is an incorrect operation. In the case where “re-gaming role 2C” of “re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 2” is internally won, the stop operation with the first stop reel as the middle reel 111 is the correct operation, and The stop operation is an incorrect operation. In the case where the “re-gaming role 2R” of the “re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 2” is internally won, the stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the right reel 112 is the correct operation. The stop operation is an incorrect operation.

  Up to this point, “replay combination 1 + replay combination 2” in FIG. 44 (a) has been described, but “small role 3a” also has a different winning combination according to the player's operation order.

  When "Small win 3a" is internally won, it is determined whether or not a symbol combination corresponding to Small win 3 (bell) is displayed on the winning line in accordance with the operation order of the player (FIG. 44 ( a) See remarks). More specifically, when a stop operation is performed in accordance with a correct operation order, which is a predetermined operation order, “Bell-Bell-Bell” is displayed on the pay line, and 11 medals are paid out ( Bell prize). On the other hand, if the stop operation is not performed in the correct answer operation order, "bell-bell-bell" is not displayed on the pay line (losing).

  On the other hand, when the internal winning of the "small win 3b" is achieved, "Bell-Bell-Bell" is displayed on the winning line regardless of the operation order, and 11 medals are paid out. (See the remarks column in FIG. 44 (a)).

  Here, the operation sequence of the correct answer of “small win 3a” will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  "Small win 3a" is exactly six of "small win 3LCR", "small win 3LRC", "small win 3CLR", "small win 3CRL", "small win 3RLC" and "small win 3RCL" It is set so as to be subdivided, and a different correct operation order is assigned to each of the subdivided "small wins 3a". Note that the range of the lottery data associated with each of the six subdivided "small wins 3a" is the same.

  For example, when the internal winning of “Small win 3LCR” of “Small win 3a” is internally won, the first stop reel is the left reel 110, the second stop reel is the middle reel 111, and the third stop reel is the right reel 112. The stop operation is a correct operation, and the other stop operations are incorrect operations. In the case where “Small Winner 3CRL” among the “Small Winners 3a” is internally won, the first stop reel is the middle reel 111, the second stop reel is the right reel 112, and the third stop reel is the left reel 110. The stop operation is the correct operation. It should be noted that “Small win 3a” and “Small win 3b” described above are the same in the gaming state described below.

  In FIG. 43 (a), when the condition (A) is satisfied in the low replay probability state (RT1), that is, when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination 2 is displayed on the payline (replay) In the case of winning the role 2), it is shown that the game shifts to a replay high probability state (RT2) described later. Further, FIG. 11 shows that when the condition (C) is satisfied, that is, when the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is internally won, the state shifts to a special combination internal winning state (RT3) described later. ing. Further, when the condition (D) is satisfied, that is, when the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is displayed on the activated line (when the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is won), It is shown that a transition is made to a special game state (RT4) described later.

  In the present embodiment, the small role 3a as the pushing sequence is a single role. However, the small role 3a may be an overlapping role to be won simultaneously with other small roles. When the first to third stop operations are performed in accordance with the operation sequence of the correct answer, the point of winning the small combination 3 is the same.

  For example, if "Small win 3 + Small win A + Small win B" is set and (1) the correct answer stop operation (the order of correct answer operation) is performed, the symbol combination corresponding to the small win 3 is displayed on the activated line. When the (2) incorrect stop operation is performed (the first stop operation is correct), the symbol combination corresponding to the small role A is displayed on the activated line, and (3) the incorrect stop operation is performed. When the first stop operation is incorrect (the first stop operation is incorrect) and the stop operation is performed within the pull-in range of the symbol of the small combination B, the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination B is displayed on the activated line, (4) If the stop operation of the incorrect answer is performed (the first stop operation is incorrect) and the stop operation is performed outside the drawing range of the symbol of the small part B, the spilled eyes will be on the activated line. It may be displayed.

  When “Small win 3 + Small win X” is set, (1) when the stop operation of the correct answer (the stop operation from the first stop operation to the third stop operation is correct) corresponds to the small win 3 The symbol combination to be performed is displayed on the activated line, and (2) the incorrect stop operation is performed (the first stop operation is correct, the second stop operation is incorrect, or the first stop operation is incorrect, the second stop is performed) If the operation is correct) and the third stop operation is performed within the pull-in range of the symbol of small win X, the symbol combination corresponding to small win X is displayed on the activated line, and (3) the stop operation of incorrect answer Is performed (the first stop operation is correct, the second stop operation is incorrect, or the first stop operation is incorrect, and the second stop operation is correct), and the third stop is performed outside the drawing range of the symbol of the small role X. When an operation is performed, the spilled eye may be displayed on the activated line. In the third stop operation, a small prize X may be won with the aim of the small prize X. Here, the correct answer of the stop operation means that the operation order is correct, and / or the operation timing is suitable (operation within the pull-in range of the symbol corresponding to the predetermined small winning combination).

  Also, in addition to the above-mentioned “Small win 3 + Small win X”, “Small win 3 + Small win Y” is set. (1) When the stop operation of the correct answer is performed, the symbol combination corresponding to the small win 3 is changed. Displayed on the activated line, (2) when the operation of stopping the incorrect answer is performed and the third stop operation is performed within the pull-in range of the symbol of small win X, the symbol combination corresponding to small win Y is (3) When the incorrect stop operation is performed and the third stop operation is performed outside the drawing range of the symbol of the small part Y, the spilled line is displayed on the active line. You may make it. In this case, in the third stop operation in the stop operation of the incorrect answer, it is not known whether the role to be targeted is the small role X or the small role Y, and therefore, it is possible to prevent the small portion winning from being shot at the third stop operation. There are cases.

<Replay high probability state (RT4)>
The re-game high probability state (RT4) is a game state in which the internal winning probability of the re-game combination is higher than the re-game low probability state (RT1). In the re-game high probability state (RT4), a winning combination to be internally won is randomly selected with reference to a lottery table in a row of “RT4” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG.

  The winning combinations that are internally won in the replay high probability state (RT4) include special role 1, special role 1 + small role 1, special role 1 + small role 2, replay role 1, replay role 1 + replay role 3, small There are a role 1, a small role 2, a small role 3a, and a small role 3b. If the winning combination is not won, the game is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed.

  Here, the “re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 3” indicates that the re-gaming role 1 and the re-gaming role 3 are internally won at the same time. In this case, it is determined which combination of symbols is displayed according to the player's operation sequence. More specifically, when the stop operation is performed in accordance with the correct operation order, which is a predetermined operation order, a symbol combination (normal replay) corresponding to the replaying combination 1 is displayed on the winning line (see FIG. a) In the remarks column, see the correct answer in the pushing order), otherwise, the symbol combination (fall replay) corresponding to the replaying game 3 is displayed on the winning line (FIG. 44 (a) in the remarks column). , Push order incorrect answer). That is, “re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 3” is also the pushing sequence.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 44 (b), the operation sequence of the correct answer of “re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 3” will be described in detail.

  To be more precise, as shown in FIG. 44 (b), there are three “re-games 1 + re-games 3”, “re-games 3L”, “re-games 3C”, and “re-games 3R”. , And a different correct operation order is assigned to each of the subdivided “re-game 1 + re-game 3”. Note that the range of the lottery data associated with each of the three subdivided “re-games 1 + re-games 3” is the same.

  For example, in the case where the “re-gaming role 3 + L” among the “re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 3” is internally won, the stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the left reel 110 is a correct operation, and the other operation is not performed. The stop operation is an incorrect operation. In the case where “replaying game 3C” among “replaying game 1 + replaying game 3” is internally won, the operation of stopping the first stop reel as the middle reel 111 is the correct operation. The stop operation is an incorrect operation. In the case where the “replaying game 3R” among the “replaying game 1 + replaying game 3” is internally won, the stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the right reel 112 is the correct operation. The stop operation is an incorrect operation.

  In the present embodiment, when an internal winning is performed in the pushing order (re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 2, re-gaming role 1 + re-gaming role 3, small role 3a), a unique combination is performed based on the subdivided internal winning combination. In this case, the correct answer operation order is determined, that is, the correct answer operation order is determined by one lottery process. However, in the case of adopting a configuration in which the pushing sequence is not subdivided, in the internal lottery process of the winning combination, after the internal winning in the pushing sequence, the lottery process for determining the operation sequence of the correct answer is further executed to execute the correct answer operation. The order may be determined.

  In FIG. 43 (a), when the condition (B) is satisfied in the replay high probability state (RT4), that is, when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination 3 is displayed on the activated line (replay) In the case of winning the role 3, it is shown that the game shifts to the re-game low probability state (RT1) described above. Further, FIG. 11 shows that when the condition (C) is satisfied, that is, when the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is internally won, the state shifts to a special combination internal winning state (RT2) described later. Further, when the condition (D) is satisfied, that is, when the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is displayed on the activated line (when the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is won). , A transition to a special game state (RT3) described later.

<Special role internal winning status (RT2)>
The special role internal winning state (RT2) is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to the special role 1 or the special role 2 is set to ON, and when the player performs a stop operation at a predetermined timing, the flag is set to this flag. This is a gaming state in which a symbol combination corresponding to a corresponding special combination can be displayed. In the special role internal winning state, a winning combination to be internally won is selected by lot referring to the lottery table in the row of “RT2” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. The winning combinations that are internally won in the special role internal winning state include a replaying role 1, a small role 1, a small role 2, a small role 3a, and a small role 3b. If the winning combination is not won, the game is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed.

  Further, in FIG. 44 (a), when the condition (D) is satisfied in the special combination internal winning state (RT2), that is, when the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 or the special combination 2 is displayed, It is shown that a transition is made to a special game state (RT4) described later.

<Special gaming state (RT3)>
The special game state (RT3) is a game state most advantageous to the player among all the game states. In the special game state, a winning combination to be internally won is randomly selected with reference to a lottery table in a row of “RT3” on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. The winning combination that is internally won in the special game state is only the small combination 3b. If the winning combination is not won, the winning combination is lost, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not displayed.

  FIG. 44 (a) shows that, in the special game state (RT3), when the condition (E) is satisfied, that is, when the specified number is paid out, the state shifts to the re-game low probability state (RT1). Have been. Specifically, when the game shifts to the special game state based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1, if the payout of more than 275 medals is performed, the re-game low probability state (RT1 ).

  In the present embodiment, the special game state ends when a predetermined number of payouts are executed. For example, the special game state ends when a predetermined combination (for example, a single bonus) is won, or a predetermined number of times ( The game may end when a prize has been won (for example, eight times) or when a predetermined number of games (for example, six times) have been played.

<Transition of AT game state>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 43 (b) and 43 (c), an AT-based game state will be described. FIGS. 43 (b) and 43 (c) are transition diagrams of an AT-based gaming state of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine according to the modification of the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 43 (a), the game state of the AT system is roughly divided into a low navigation state and a high navigation state. The low navigation state is a state in which the probability that the operation navigation is executed is low, and is also referred to as a normal mode.

  The high navigation state is a state in which the operation navigation is more likely to be executed than the low navigation state, and includes an AT mode and a chance mode. Here, the operation navigation means a pressing order (specifically, a replaying game 1 + replaying game 2, replaying game 1 + replaying game 3, small play 3a) when the internal winning is performed. The effect that informs. That is, the operation navigation refers to an effect of notifying the contents of the stop operation for acquiring the medals, the contents of the stop operation for shifting to the advantageous game state, or maintaining the advantageous game state.

  Here, the operation navigation will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the operation navigation is executed using the payout number display 127 and the effect image display device 157. FIG. 44 (b) shows display data indicating the correct answer operation sequence of the pressing order of the present embodiment, and FIG. 45 is a diagram in which the display data and the lighting mode of the payout number display 127 are associated with each other.

  For example, the display data 01 is data indicating a stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the left reel 110, the display data 02 is data indicating a stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the middle reel 111, and the display data 03 is set. , Data indicating a stop operation in which the first stop reel is set to the right reel 112.

  Therefore, in the AT mode, when the replaying game 2L of “replaying game 1 + replaying game 2” is internally won, since the stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the left reel 110 is correct, the first stop operation is performed on the left. Is displayed, the lighting mode corresponding to the display data 01 is displayed on the number-of-payouts display 127 (see FIG. 45 (a)), and the effect image display device 157 displays Then, an image (for example, the character “1-−”) indicating that the first stop reel is the left reel 110 is displayed (not shown).

  The display data 04 is data indicating a stop operation in which the first stop reel is the left reel 110, the second stop reel is the middle reel 111, and the third stop reel is the right reel 112. The display data 05 is the first stop reel. Is a left reel 110, the second stop reel is a right reel 112, and the third stop reel is a middle reel 111. Data indicating a stop operation, and display data 06, the first stop reel is a middle reel 111, and the second stop reel is a The data indicating the stop operation of setting the left reel 110, the third stop reel to the right reel 112, and the display data 07 are as follows: the first stop reel is the middle reel 111, the second stop reel is the right reel 112, and the third stop reel is the left reel. The display data 08 indicating the stop operation with the reel 110 as the first reel is the right reel 112, the second stop reel is the left reel 110, and the third reel is the third reel. The data indicating the stop operation of setting the stop reel to the middle reel 112 and the display data 09 include the stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the right reel 112, setting the second stop reel to the middle reel 111, and setting the third stop reel to the left reel 110. It is data that suggests.

  Therefore, when the small win 3CLR of “small win 3a” is internally won in the AT mode, the first stop reel is the middle reel 111, the second stop reel is the left reel 110, and the third stop reel is the right reel 112. Since the stop operation is correct, display data 06 indicating that the first stop operation is middle, the second stop operation is left, and the third stop operation is right is selected, and the payout number display 127 displays the display data 06. (See FIG. 45 (b)), and the effect image display device 157 displays the first stop reel as the middle reel 111, the second stop reel as the left reel 110, and the third stop reel. An image indicating that the reel 112 is the right reel 112 (for example, the character “213”) is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, it is configured to be able to determine whether the internal winning combination is the replaying combination or the small combination 3a based on the lighting mode of the number-of-payouts display 127. However, for example, the operation of stopping the correct answer of the small winning combination 3a may be set to three options like the replaying combination, and the small winning combination 3a may be configured to be notified using the display data 01 to 03. In this case, the internal winning combination cannot be determined only by the lighting mode. Further, the stop operation of the correct answer of the re-game combination may be set to six choices like the small combination 3a, and the re-game combination may be notified using the display data 04 to 09. Also in this case, the internal winning combination cannot be determined only by the lighting mode.

  In the present embodiment, the low navigation state is a state where the execution probability of the operation navigation is low, and the high navigation state is a state where the execution probability of the operation navigation is higher than the low navigation state. Is not executed, and the high navigation state may be the state in which the operation navigation is executed. When a stop operation is performed in accordance with the operation content of the operation navigation, an advantageous result is provided to the player, and thus the high navigation state is a gaming state more advantageous to the player than the low navigation state. Here, the advantage is, specifically, the total number of game media paid out by the gaming table with respect to the total number of game media used by the player as a bet amount when playing the game for a predetermined period. A ratio, a so-called payout rate (payout rate).

<State transition of AT system>
FIG. 43 (b) is a diagram showing an effect state in each of the AT-based game states. As shown in FIG. 43 (b), each game state of the AT system is further subdivided and managed, and this is called an effect state. Specifically, the production state of the low navigation state is a normal state, and the production state of the high navigation state is a normal state, a fixed notification state, a judge state, a retraction state, a BB state, an AT1, a AT2 state, an LMT (limit) state. Have. The effect state of the high navigation state according to the modification of the first embodiment is the same as the effect state described with reference to FIG. 6C except that the BB state is added, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

<Effect state control processing A>
Next, the rendering state control processing A in step S121 in FIG. 46 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 47A is a flowchart showing a flow of the effect state control process A according to the modification of the first embodiment, and is a diagram corresponding to the effect state control process A according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. It is.

  The effect state control process A according to the modification of the first embodiment is the same process as the effect state control process A according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. The description is omitted.

<Every game common processing>
Next, the game common processing of step S401 in FIG. 47A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 47 (b) is a flowchart showing the flow of the per-game common process according to the modification of the first embodiment, and is a diagram corresponding to the per-game common process according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 15 (b). .

  In the per-game common process according to the modified example of Embodiment 1, the content of Step S501 of the per-game common process according to Embodiment 1 described with reference to FIG. 15B is changed to the content of Step S521. Specifically, in step S521, it is determined whether or not a condition for executing the high navigation state related processing is satisfied. Here, the condition for executing the high-navigation state-related processing is that the gaming state is either during the internal winning of the bonus or during the operation of the bonus with a setting difference. Note that the condition is not limited to the operation of the bonus having a setting difference, but may be the operation of all bonuses. If the result of the determination in step S521 is that the conditions for executing the high navigation state-related processing are satisfied, the flow proceeds to step S502; otherwise, the flow proceeds to step S503.

<High navigation state processing A>
Next, the high navigation state processing A of step S405 in FIG. 47A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing a flow of the high navigation state processing A according to the modification of the first embodiment, and corresponds to the high navigation state processing A according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the high navigation state processing A according to the modification of the first embodiment, the processing in steps S821 and S822 is added to the high navigation state processing A according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. Specifically, in step S821, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the BB state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S822, and if not, the process proceeds to step S804. In step S822, BB state process A is executed. In the BB state process A, processes related to the BB game are performed.

<Direction processing>
Next, the rendering process in step S122 in FIG. 46 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 49 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the effect processing according to the modification of the first embodiment.

  In step S2101, it is determined whether or not the value of the high navigation state counter is equal to or less than the LMT transition value A (19 in this example). If so, the process proceeds to step S2103; Proceed to step S2102. In this example, since the LMT state is 20G, the LMT transition value A is set to 19 (= 20G-1G), but may be another numerical value.

  In step S2102, it is determined whether or not the value of the difference number counter is equal to or smaller than the LMT shift value B (1840 in this example). If so, the process proceeds to step S2103; The process proceeds to S2104. In this example, the configuration is such that the high navigation state is ended when the maximum payout number in the LMT state is 20G, the maximum payout number in the 3-betting game is 11 (the maximum increase number is 8), and the difference number exceeds 2000. Therefore, the LMT shift value B is set to 1840 (= 2000 sheets−8 sheets × 20 G), but may be another numerical value.

  In step S2103, freeze information is set, and in the next step S2104, the effect processing is ended after executing other effect processing.

  In the first embodiment, the freezing state is set when the effect state is the LMT state in the high navigation state common processing A. However, in the modification of the first embodiment, the effect state is the LMT state. Regardless of whether or not the condition is satisfied, the freeze state is set when the condition of step S2101 or step S2102 is satisfied.

FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing a flow of the effect state control process B according to the modification of the first embodiment, and is a diagram corresponding to the effect state control process B according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  Steps S1701 to S1704 of the effect state control process B according to the modification of the first embodiment are the same as the effect state control process B according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. In addition, the description is omitted. In step S1721, after performing other effect state control processing B, effect state control processing B ends. In other effect state control processing B, for example, when the high navigation state end condition is satisfied in the BB state and the state is shifted from the high navigation state to the low navigation state, processing for shifting the effect state from the BB state to the normal state is performed. .

<High navigation state processing B>
Next, the high navigation state process B in step S1705 of FIG. 50 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing a flow of the high navigation state processing B according to the modification of the first embodiment, and corresponds to the high navigation state processing B according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the high navigation state processing B according to the modification of the first embodiment, the processing in steps S1821 and S1822 is added to the high navigation state processing B according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. Specifically, in step S1821, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the BB state. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1822, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1804. In step S1822, BB state processing B is performed. In the BB state processing B, processing for returning the effect state to the state immediately before the BB state after the BB state ends is performed.

<Specific examples of various effects, various displays, etc.>
Next, specific examples of various effects, various displays, and the like executed by the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 52 to 78 are timing charts each showing a flow of the effect, and show the effect form of the effect to be executed in association with the timing chart.

  Here, the item of “low / high navigation state” in each figure indicates an AT-based gaming state (in this example, a high navigation state or a low navigation state), and the item of “staging state” in each figure is , An effect state (in this example, a normal state, a fixed notification state, a judge state, a pullback state, an AT1, an AT2 state, or an LMT (limit) state) in each of the AT-related game states. Also, the item of “high navigation state counter” in each figure shows the number of remaining games in the high navigation state, and the item of “production state counter” in each figure shows the number of remaining games in each production state. ing. The item “BET” in each drawing indicates the number of bets (BET numbers) of game media in each game.

<Specific example of counter update display>
First, a specific example of the update display of the counter will be described with reference to FIGS. 52 to 54 are timing charts showing the flow of the effect, respectively, and show the effect form of the effect to be executed in association with the timing chart.

<Specific example of counter update display / 3 betting game only>
FIG. 52 shows that, in the high navigation state, when the effect state shifts in the order of the AT2 state → the judgment state → the LMT state (limit state), and then shifts to the normal state of the low navigation state, only the three-sheet betting game is performed. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a counter update display at the time.

  The game R28 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 28, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 2, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R28, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed, an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state (an effect state counter) is executed. Is displayed, the display including the image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the display including the character “LAST 2G”) is executed. .

  Note that the condition for starting the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is not limited to the case where the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received, and for example, until the third stop operation is received. After displaying “LAST 3G” and receiving the third stop operation, the display of “LAST 2G” may be started. In addition, the effect form of the AT2 effect is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a series of effects performed over a plurality of games, or an effect completed in one game. The display mode of the number of remaining games (count value of the production state counter) in the AT2 state is not limited to this example. For example, the number of remaining games (count value of the production state counter) in the AT2 state is represented by the number of icons and the like. May be indicated by

  The following game R27 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 27, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 1, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R27, while performing the AT2 effect and the operation navigation similarly to the game R28, a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state (in this example, Display of an image including the characters “LAST 1G”).

  The following game R26 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 26, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 0, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R26, an AT2 effect is performed and the operation navigation is executed in the same manner as the games R28 to R27, and a display including an image indicating the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is displayed. In the example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 0G” is executed.

  In addition, in the game R26, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect image display device 157 is used as the final game in the AT2 state. , An AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state is displayed, and the result display 1 (for example, the display of the number of game media obtained) in the AT2 state is executed, while the remaining game number in the AT2 state ( The display including the image indicating the effect state counter value (in this example, the display including the image of “LAST 0G”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. The conditions for starting the AT2 end screen and the result display are not limited to the case where the third stop operation is received, and the effect form of the AT2 end screen and the display contents of the result display are not particularly limited.

  The following game R25 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 25, the number of remaining games in the judge state shifted from the AT2 state is 9, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R25, the effect state is changed from the AT2 state to the judge state using the effect image display device 157 until a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, until a pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted (immediately after a BET, etc.)). Since the transition to the state has started, the judge effect corresponding to the start of the judge state is started, and since the number of remaining games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 10, the number of games (effect state counter (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 10G”).

  After that, in the game R25, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is determined to be the judge state using the effect image display device 157. Since the judge effect corresponding to the judge state is executed, and the remaining game number in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 9, the image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 9G”). Note that the flow of the effects of the game R24 to the game R20 is almost the same, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The game R19 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 19, the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the judge state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R19, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is changed from the judge state to the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the transition has been made, an ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the LMT operation is performed. Since the total number of games in the state is 20, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20, the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (effect state counter) Is displayed (in this example, an image including the characters “20/20”) is displayed. Note that the filling of the operation navigation indicates that the stop operation has not been performed yet at the same timing.

  After that, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R19 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed and the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 19, the LMT state (In this example, display of an image including the characters "remaining 19/20") including an image indicating the total number of games in and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the LMT state. I have. Note that the flow of the effects of the game R18 to the game R1 is almost the same, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 0, and is a game in which a three-bet game is performed. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is 0. A display including an image indicating the total number of games in the state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (display of an image including the characters “0/20” in this example) is executed. ing.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the LMT state by using the effect image display device 157. While displaying the ED effect end screen (end effect) corresponding to the end of the LMT state, the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, the display of the number of game media obtained or the number of games in the AT2 state) is performed. Then, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (the count value of the effect state counter) in the LMT state (display of the image including the character “0/20” in this example) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. ing. The conditions for starting the ED effect end screen and the result display are not limited to the case where the third stop operation is received, and the effect mode and the display contents of the result display of the ED effect end screen are not particularly limited.

<Specific example of counter update display / 3-gaming game and 2-gaming game>
FIG. 53 shows a case where the effect state shifts from the AT2 state to the judge state to the LMT state (limit state) in the high navigation state, and then to the normal state of the low navigation state. It is a figure showing an example of the update display of the counter when playing both games. Note that the effects and displays that are the same as those in “Specific example of counter update display / three-page betting game only” described with reference to FIG. 52 will be appropriately omitted (the same applies to the following embodiments).

  The game R28 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 28, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 2, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R28, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed, an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state (an effect state counter) is executed. Is displayed, the display including the image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the display including the character “LAST 2G”) is executed. .

  The following game R27 is a game in which the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is 27, and is a game in which two bets are played in the AT2 state. In this game R27, the number of remaining games (counter value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state remains at 2 since a two-bet game has been played in the AT2 state.

  For this reason, in the game R27, the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157 when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted). Therefore, while the AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is being executed, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is not updated. Further, since the two-stake betting game is performed in the AT2 state, even when the internal winning is performed in the pushing sequence, the operation navigation indicating the stop operation is not executed. Note that, in this example, an example has been described in which the AT2 effect is executed even when the two-bet game is performed in the AT2 state, but the AT2 effect is executed over a plurality of games. In the case where the game is composed of two scenes, when a game of two bets is played in the AT2 state, the scene of the AT2 effect may not be updated in the game.

  The game R1 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 1, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the judge state is 2, in which a two-bet game is performed. In this game R1, the remaining number of games (counter value of the effect state counter) in the LMT state remains at 2 since the two-bet game has been played in the LMT state.

  For this reason, in the game R1, the effect state is the LMT2 state using the effect image display device 157 when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted). Therefore, while the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the LMT state is not executed. Further, since the two-stake betting game is performed in the LMT state, even when the internal winning is performed in the pushing sequence, the operation navigation indicating the stop operation is not executed. In this example, an example in which the ED effect is executed even when the two-stake betting game is performed in the LMT state has been described. However, the ED effect is executed over a plurality of games. When the LMT state is set, the scene of the ED effect may not be updated in the game when the two betting game is performed in the LMT state.

  In this example, after the first display (in this example, the display of the image including the character “LAST 2G”) is displayed in the advantageous state (AT2 state in this example), the first game (in this example, When the execution of the (three-betting game) is started, the specific count value (in this example, the high navigation state counter) is updated and the second display is performed in the first game (three-betting game). (In this example, display of an image including characters of “LAST 1G”) is configured to be displayable.

  On the other hand, in the advantageous state (AT2 state), after the first display (display of an image including the letters “LAST 2G”) is displayed, the execution of the second game (in this example, the two-bet game) starts. In this case, the specific count value (high navigation state counter) is updated, and the second display (display of an image including the characters “LAST 1G”) is displayed in the second game (two-betting game). It is configured not to be displayed.

  For this reason, it is possible to notify that the player has performed a game (second game) disadvantageous to the player in a manner that is not embarrassing for the player. In addition, since the counter relating to the advantageous state is updated, it is possible to ensure fairness between the player who is correctly playing the first game and the player who is playing the second game.

<Specific example of counter update display / When no judge effect is performed>
FIG. 54 (a) is a diagram showing an example of the updated display of the counter when the judge effect is not performed by the double betting game.

  The game R27 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 27, and is a game in which two bets are played in the AT2 state. In this game R27, the number of remaining games (counter value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state remains at 2 since a two-bet game has been played in the AT2 state.

  For this reason, in the game R27, the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157 when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted). Therefore, while the AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is being executed, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is not updated. Further, since the two-stake betting game is performed in the AT2 state, even when the internal winning is performed in the pushing sequence, the operation navigation indicating the stop operation is not executed.

  In this example, since two betting games are played over the period from the game R27 to the game R18, the number of remaining games (counter value of the production state counter) in the AT2 state is not updated and remains at 2. However, since the three-game betting game has been performed in the subsequent game R17, the effect state has shifted to the LMT state without shifting from the AT2 state to the judge state. Therefore, the judge effect corresponding to the judge state is not executed. Further, in this example, since the state has shifted from the AT2 state to the LMT state, the display of the AT2 end screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state is not executed.

  The game R17 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 17, the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the AT2 state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R17, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is changed from the AT2 state to the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the transition has been made, the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed. .

  On the other hand, although the number of games in the high navigation state (count value of the high navigation state counter) is 17, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20. Therefore, a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including the characters “20/20”) Display).

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 2, and a game in which three bets are played. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. , An ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state.

  On the other hand, the number of games in the high navigation state (count value of the high navigation state counter) is 0, but the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 2 Therefore, a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the count value of the staging state counter) (in this example, an image including the characters “remaining 2/20”) Display).

  After that, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the effect state Although the count value of the counter is 2 but the final game in the high navigation state, the ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state is displayed, and the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, a game medium) While displaying the number of acquired games, the number of games in the AT2 state, and the like, while displaying an image indicating the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, “remaining 2/20”). Display of images containing the characters ")" and the display of the operation navigation.

  In this example, in the game after the transition to the LMT state, the player plays a bet game of three, but in the AT2 state immediately before the bet game, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state (the effect state counter). Of the game in the high navigation state (the count value of the high navigation state counter) is not consumed. As a result, the shift to the LMT state in the high navigation state is delayed, and the game shifts to the normal state in the low navigation state without being able to complete a part of the game in the LMT state.

<Specific example of counter update display / Judge production and ED production not performed>
FIG. 54B is a diagram showing an example of an updated display of the counter when the judge effect and the ED effect are not performed by the two-page betting game.

  The game R27 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 27, and is a game in which two bets are played in the AT2 state. In this game R27, the number of remaining games (counter value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state remains at 2 since a two-bet game has been played in the AT2 state.

  For this reason, in the game R27, the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157 when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted). Therefore, while the AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is being executed, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is not updated. Further, since the two-stake betting game is performed in the AT2 state, even when the internal winning is performed in the pushing sequence, the operation navigation indicating the stop operation is not executed.

  In this example, since two betting games are performed over the period from the game R27 to the game R0, the remaining number of games (counter value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is not updated and remains at 2. The effect state shifts from the high navigation state to the low navigation state without shifting from the AT2 state to the judge state or the LMT state. Therefore, the judge effect corresponding to the judge state and the ED effect corresponding to the LMT state are not executed. Further, in this example, since the AT2 state has shifted to the low navigation state, the display of the AT2 end screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state and the display of the judge end screen corresponding to the end of the judge state are not executed.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high-navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 2, and a two-bet game is performed. In the game R0, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the number of remaining games in the AT2 state (the effect state counter) is displayed using the effect image display device 157. Is 2), which is the final game in the high-navigation state, so that the ED effect ending screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state is not displayed although the game has not shifted to the LMT state, and the high-navigation state is displayed. (For example, the display of the number of game media obtained, the number of games in the AT2 state, etc.), while the AT2 effect has been completed.

  In this example, since two bets are played over the period from the game R27 to the game R0, the remaining number of games (count value of the production state counter) in the AT2 state is not exhausted, and the high navigation state is performed. Only the number of remaining games in (the count value of the high navigation state counter) has been consumed. As a result, the transition to the judge state or the LMT state in the high navigation state is not performed, and the game shifts to the normal state in the low navigation state without being able to complete all the games in the LMT state (20 games in this example). I have.

<Examples of ED production, freeze production, and setting suggestion production>
Next, specific examples of the ED effect, the freeze effect, and the setting suggestion effect will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 55 to 58 are timing charts showing the flow of the effects, respectively, and show the effect modes of the effects to be executed in association with the timing charts.

<Examples of ED production, freeze production, and setting suggestion production / 3 betting games only>
FIG. 55 shows the ED when only the three-bet gaming is performed when the effect state shifts from the judge state to the LMT state (limit state) in the order of the high navigation state and then shifts to the normal state of the low navigation state. It is a figure showing an example of an effect and a freeze effect.

  The game R19 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 19, the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the judge state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In this game R19, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, a press operation of the start lever 135 is received), the freeze effect is started, and at the same time, the effect state is displayed using the effect image display device 157. Has shifted from the judge state to the LMT state, the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and the operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” Display), and the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20, so that the total number of games in the LMT state and the remaining number in the LMT state Including an image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, including the characters of “20/20”) Running the display) of the image.

  After that, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R19 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed and the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 19, the LMT state (In this example, display of an image including the characters "remaining 19/20") including an image indicating the total number of games in and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the LMT state. I have. Note that the flow of the effects of the subsequent games R18 to R2 is substantially the same, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The game R1 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 1, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 1, in which a three-bet game is performed. In the game R1, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. , An ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 1. A display including an image indicating the total number of games in the state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including characters of “1/20”) is executed. ing. Further, in the game R1, a setting suggestion effect (a setting value can be guessed) using the effect image display device 157, which indicates a setting value (setting 1 to setting 6) indicated by reference sign A or “suggestion A” in the figure. Directing). The effect mode of the setting suggestion effect is not particularly limited, but in this example, the setting suggestion effect is executed so as to overlap a part of the ED effect.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 0, and is a game in which a three-bet game is performed. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is 0. A display including an image indicating the total number of games in the state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (display of an image including the characters “0/20” in this example) is executed. ing.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the LMT state by using the effect image display device 157. While displaying the ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state, the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, display of the number of game media acquired, the number of games in the AT2 state, etc.) is performed, while the LMT state is displayed. In this example, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in the present example, the display of the image including the characters “0/20”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. Further, in the game R0, the effect image display device 157 is used to execute a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by a symbol B or “suggestion B” in the figure, which indicates a setting value. . The effect of the setting suggestion effect is not particularly limited, but in this example, the setting suggestion effect is executed in a part of the background display. Further, the execution timing of the setting suggestion effect is not particularly limited, and the suggestion A and the suggestion B may be simultaneously performed in the final game in the LMT state.

<Specific examples of ED production, freeze production, and setting suggestion production / 3-gaming game and 2-gaming game>
FIG. 56 (a) shows a case where the effect state shifts from the judge state to the LMT state (limit state) in the order of the high navigation state, and then shifts to the normal state of the low navigation state, where three betting games and two betting are performed. It is a figure showing an example of ED production and freeze production at the time of playing a game.

  The game R19 is a game in which the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is 19, and a game in which two bets are played in the judge state. In this game R19, the number of remaining games in the judge state (counter value of the effect state counter) is not updated, and remains at 4, since two bets are played in the judge state.

  Therefore, in the game R19, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is the judge state using the effect image display device 157. Therefore, while the judge effect corresponding to the judge state is executed, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is not updated. In the game R19, the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 19, which satisfies the condition of transition from the judge state to the LMT state (the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is less than 20G), but it is a two-bet game. Therefore, the ED production and the freeze production are not performed.

  Note that, in this example, an example in which the judge effect is executed even when the two betting game is performed in the judge state has been described, but a plurality of relevant judge effects are executed over a plurality of games. In the case where a two-bet game is performed in the judge state, the judge effect scene may not be updated in the game.

  The following game R18 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 18, the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the judge state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R18, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the freeze effect is started, and at the same time, the effect state is displayed using the effect image display device 157. Has shifted from the judge state to the LMT state, the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and the operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” Display).

  On the other hand, although the number of games in the high navigation state (count value of the high navigation state counter) is 18, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20. Therefore, a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including the characters “20/20”) Display).

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R18 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157, Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is 19, so that the high navigation is performed. The number of games in the state (the count value of the high navigation state counter) is 18, but a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the remaining number of games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (book) In the example, display of an image including the character of “19/20” is executed. The flow of the effects of the subsequent games R17 to R1 is almost the same, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 1, in which a three-bet game is performed. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. , An ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state.

  On the other hand, the number of games in the high navigation state (count value of the high navigation state counter) is 0, but the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 1. Therefore, a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the remaining number of games in the LMT state (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including the characters “1/20” remaining) Display). Further, in the game R0, using the effect image display device 157, a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by reference sign A or “suggestion A” in the figure, which indicates the setting value, is executed. . The effect mode of the setting suggestion effect is not particularly limited, but in this example, the setting suggestion effect is executed so as to overlap a part of the ED effect.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the LMT state by using the effect image display device 157. While displaying the ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state, the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, display of the number of game media acquired, the number of games in the AT2 state, etc.) is performed, while the LMT state is displayed. In this example, the display including the image indicating the remaining number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the display of the image including the character of “1/20”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. Further, in the game R0, the effect image display device 157 is used to execute a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by a symbol B or “suggestion B” in the figure, which indicates a setting value. . The effect of the setting suggestion effect is not particularly limited, but in this example, the setting suggestion effect is executed in a part of the background display. Further, the display timing of the ED effect end screen is not limited to this example, and the display may be started when another condition is satisfied, such as when a pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received.

  In the present example, execution of a specific effect (in this example, ED effect) can be started in an advantageous state (in this example, the LMT state), and a certain requirement is satisfied at the time of starting the execution of the game. In this case (in this example, when the number of remaining games in the high navigation state becomes 20G), if the game is the first game (in this example, a three-bet game), a specific count value In the example, the high navigation state counter is updated so that execution of a specific effect (ED effect) can be started in the first game (three-betting game).

  On the other hand, when a certain requirement is satisfied when the execution of the game is started (when the number of remaining games in the high navigation state has reached 20 G), the game is a second game (in this example, a two-bet game). In this case, the specific count value (high navigation state counter) is updated so that the execution of the specific effect (ED effect) is not started in the second game (three-betting game). For this reason, it is possible to notify that the player has performed a game (second game) disadvantageous to the player in a manner that is not embarrassing for the player. In addition, since the counter relating to the advantageous state is updated, it is possible to ensure fairness between the player who is correctly playing the first game and the player who is playing the second game.

  In this example, the execution of a certain freeze effect can be started in the advantageous state (in this example, the LMT state), and when a certain requirement is satisfied at the start of the execution of the game (in this example, the high In the case where the number of remaining games in the navigation state becomes 20G, if the game is the first game (in this example, a three-bet game), a specific count value (in this example, the high navigation state counter) ) Is updated so that execution of a certain freeze effect can be started in the first game (three-betting game).

  On the other hand, when a certain requirement is satisfied when the execution of the game is started (when the number of remaining games in the high navigation state has reached 20 G), the game is a second game (in this example, a two-bet game). In this case, the specific count value (high navigation state counter) is updated so that the execution of a certain freeze effect is not started in the second game (three-betting game). For this reason, it is possible to notify that the player has performed a game (second game) disadvantageous to the player in a manner that is not embarrassing for the player. In addition, since the counter relating to the advantageous state is updated, it is possible to ensure fairness between the player who is correctly playing the first game and the player who is playing the second game.

  In this example, the game after the transition to the LMT state is a three-betting game, but the two-betting game is performed in the immediately preceding judge state. The remaining game number (the count value of the high navigation state counter) in the high navigation state is consumed without the count value of the state counter being exhausted. As a result, the shift to the LMT state in the high navigation state is delayed, and the game shifts to the normal state in the low navigation state without being able to complete a part of the game in the LMT state.

  FIG. 56 (b) is a diagram showing a modification of the setting suggestion effect described with reference to FIG. 56 (a). In the present example, in the game R19, the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 19, and in the game R18, the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is 18, and the conditions for shifting from the judge state to the LMT state are respectively provided. (The remaining number of games in the high navigation state is less than 20G), but the ED effect and the freeze effect are not executed because the game is a two-stake betting game.

  Further, since two betting games are performed in the game R19 and the game R18 in the judge state, the number of remaining games in the judge state (the count value of the staging state counter) is not exhausted, and high navigation is performed. Only the remaining number of games in the state (the count value of the high navigation state counter) is consumed, and the number of games in the LMT state is 18. For this reason, the setting suggestion effect (suggestion A) executed in response to the nineteenth game in the LMT state is not executed, but the ED effect of the final game in the high navigation state (the LMT state when shifting to the LMT state). Only the setting suggestion effect (suggestion B) executed when the end screen is displayed is executed.

<Examples of ED production, freeze production, and setting suggestion production / 2 betting games only>
FIG. 57 is a diagram illustrating an example of the setting suggestion effect when the two-swing betting game is continued in the judge state of the high navigation state.

  The games R25 to R19 are games in which the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is 25 to 19, and are games in which two bets are played in the judge state. In the period from game R25 to game R19, since two betting games are performed in the judge state, the number of remaining games (counter value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is not updated and remains nine.

  For this reason, in the game R25 to the game R19, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is judged using the effect image display device 157. Since the state is the state, while the judge effect corresponding to the judge state is executed, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is not updated. In the game R19, the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 19, which satisfies the condition of transition from the judge state to the LMT state (the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is less than 20G), but it is a two-bet game. Therefore, the ED production and the freeze production are not performed.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 9, and a two-bet game is performed. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the judge state using the effect image display device 157. , A judge effect corresponding to the judge state is being performed.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the LMT state by using the effect image display device 157. While displaying the ED production end screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state and executing the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, the display of the number of game media acquired or the number of games in the AT2 state), the judge state In this example, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the image including the character “LAST 9G”) and the display of the judge effect are deleted. Further, in the game R0, the effect image display device 157 is used to execute a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by a symbol B or “suggestion B” in the figure, which indicates a setting value. .

  In this example, since the two betting game is continued in the judge state, the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is not consumed from the remaining nine games, and the remaining number in the high navigation state is not consumed. Only the number of games (count value of the high navigation state counter) is consumed. As a result, the game is not shifted to the LMT state in the high navigation state, and the game is shifted to the normal state in the low navigation state without being able to complete all the games in the LMT state.

  Further, since the game has not shifted to the LMT state, the setting suggestion effect (suggestion A) executed at the 19th game in the LMT state is not executed. Only the setting suggestion effect (suggestion B) executed when the display of the ED effect end screen of the last game in the (LMT state) is executed is executed.

<Specific examples of ED production, freeze production, and setting suggestion production / Modifications of freeze production>
FIGS. 58A and 58B are diagrams showing an example of a modification of the freeze effect. In this example, another freeze effect different from the freeze effect performed simultaneously with the ED effect (hereinafter, may be referred to as “second freeze effect”) is configured to be executable.

  FIG. 58 (a) is a diagram showing an example of the second freeze effect in a case where a three-page betting game is performed. The game R327 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 327, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 31, and a three-bet game is performed. In this game R327, an effect for managing the number of games until the game in which the second freeze effect is started is triggered by the fact that a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the start condition of the linked effect is satisfied). Start counting by the start counter.

  The game R325 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 325, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 229, and a game in which three bets are played. In the game R327, when a certain condition is satisfied (in the present example, a three-betting game is started, and the effect start counter that has started counting in the game R327 reaches a certain value), The linked effect performed over the game R327 to the game R326 is terminated (or interrupted), and the second freeze effect is started without executing the ED effect.

  In this example, since the 200G AT was added in the game R325, an image including the number of added games of the AT is displayed (in this example, "+ 200G !!") after the end of the second freeze effect. (Display of an image including the character of “)”, and when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect state is changed using the effect image display device 157. Since the state is the AT2 state, an AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed, and the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is 229. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 229G”).

  On the other hand, FIG. 58 (b) is a diagram showing an example of a second freeze effect in a case where a double bet game is performed in the middle of the AT2 state. The game R325 of the present example is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 325 and a two-bet game is performed. In the game R325, since the two-bet game has been performed in the AT2 state, the remaining game number (counter value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is not updated and remains at 30.

  For this reason, in the game R325, the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157 when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted). Therefore, while the AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is being executed, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is not updated.

  The following game R324 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 324 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 229, in which a three-bet game is performed. In this game R324, when a certain condition is satisfied (in the present example, the three-betting game is started, and the effect start counter that has started counting in the game R327 reaches a certain value), The linked effect performed over the game R327 to the game R325 is ended (or interrupted), and the second freeze effect is started without executing the ED effect. The flow of the effect after the second freeze effect is the same as the flow of the effect of the game R325 in FIG.

<Specific example of ED production in non-AT state>
Next, a specific example of the ED effect in the non-AT state will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 59 to FIG. 60 are timing charts each showing a flow of the effect, and show the effect form of the effect to be executed in association with the timing chart.

  FIG. 59 is a diagram illustrating an example of the ED effect in a case where a three-stake betting game is performed. The game R550 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 550, the number of remaining games in the AT1 state which has shifted from the normal state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R550, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT1 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT1 effect corresponding to the AT1 state is executed, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the remaining number of games in the AT1 state (effect state counter) Since the count value of the game is 19, display including an image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 19G”) is executed. .

  The game R50 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 50, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state shifted from the AT1 state is 24, in which a three-bet game is performed. In the game R50, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed, an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state (an effect state counter) is executed. Is displayed, the display including the image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the display including the character “LAST 24G”) is executed. .

  The game R19 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 19, the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the AT2 state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R19, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is changed from the AT2 state to the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the transition has been made, an ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the LMT operation is performed. Since the total number of games in the state is 20, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20, the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (effect state counter) Is displayed (in this example, an image including the characters “20/20”) is displayed.

  The game R1 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 1, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 1, in which a three-bet game is performed. In the game R1, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. , An ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 1. A display including an image indicating the total number of games in the state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including characters of “1/20”) is executed. ing. Further, in the game R1, a setting suggestion effect (an effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicating a setting value, which is indicated by reference sign A or “suggestion A” in the figure, is executed using the effect image display device 157. .

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 0, and is a game in which a three-bet game is performed. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is 0. A display including an image indicating the total number of games in the state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (display of an image including the characters “0/20” in this example) is executed. ing.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the LMT state by using the effect image display device 157. While displaying the ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state, the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, display of the number of game media acquired, the number of games in the AT2 state, etc.) is performed, while the LMT state is displayed. In this example, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in the present example, the display of the image including the characters “0/20”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. Further, in the game R0, the effect image display device 157 is used to execute a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by a symbol B or “suggestion B” in the figure, which indicates a setting value. .

  FIG. 60A is a diagram illustrating an example of the ED effect in a case where the game shifts to the LMT state after performing the two-stake betting game in the normal state. The game R900 to the game R18 are games in the normal state in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 900 to 18, and are games in which a two-bet game is performed. In games R19 to R18, the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is 19 to 18, which satisfies the condition of transition from the judge state to the LMT state (the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is less than 20G), but two bets are placed. Since it is a game, the ED effect and the freeze effect are not executed.

  The following game R17 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 17, the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the normal state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In this game R17, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the ED effect is started, and at the same time, the effect state is displayed using the effect image display device 157. Has transitioned from the normal state to the LMT state, the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and the operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” Display).

  On the other hand, although the number of games in the high navigation state (count value of the high navigation state counter) is 17, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20. Therefore, a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including the characters “20/20”) Display).

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R17 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157, Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is 19, so that the high navigation is performed. The number of games in the state (the count value of the high navigation state counter) is 17, but a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (book) In the example, display of an image including the character of “19/20” is executed. Note that the flow of the effects of the subsequent games R16 to R1 is substantially the same, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 2, and a game in which three bets are played. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. , An ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state.

  On the other hand, the number of games in the high navigation state (count value of the high navigation state counter) is 0, but the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 2 Therefore, a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the count value of the staging state counter) (in this example, an image including the characters “remaining 2/20”) Display).

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the LMT state by using the effect image display device 157. The display of the ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state (end effect relating to the end of the AT2 state (= high navigation state)) is executed, and the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, display of the number of acquired game media, While displaying the number of games in the AT2 state, the display including the image indicating the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the LMT state (in this example, the image including the characters “remaining 2/20”) Display) and the operation navigation display are deleted. Further, in the game R0, the effect image display device 157 is used to execute a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by a symbol B or “suggestion B” in the figure, which indicates a setting value. .

  In the present example, in the advantageous state (in this example, the high navigation state), it is possible to shift to the first advantageous game state (in this example, the AT2 state (= high navigation state)), and the first advantageous game is provided. An end effect (display of an ED effect end screen in this example) relating to the end of the state (AT2 state (= high navigation state)) is configured to be executable, and the first game (the high navigation state) is executed in the advantageous state (high navigation state). In the present example, when only three betting games are performed, the game proceeds to the first advantageous gaming state (AT2 state) and the end effect may be executed. When only the second game (in this example, the two betting game) is performed in the (high navigation state), the end effect is executed without shifting to the first advantageous game state (AT2 state). It is configured to:

  For this reason, it is possible to notify that the player has performed a game (second game) disadvantageous to the player in a manner that is not embarrassing for the player. In addition, since the counter relating to the advantageous state is updated, it is possible to ensure fairness between the player who is correctly playing the first game and the player who is playing the second game. In addition, it is possible to ensure the fairness of the player by notifying that the advantageous state has ended for the game in which the second game is being played. In addition, by giving the player the impression of losing the number of games in an advantageous game state, it is possible to carefully select the number of bets on the game medium in a subsequent game.

  In this example, the state transitions from the normal state to the LMT state without transitioning to a state other than the LMT state (such as the AT1 state or the AT2 state). The production is running.

  FIG. 60 (b) is a diagram showing an example of the ED effect in the case where the two-page bet game is continued in the normal state.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the normal state is 0, and a game in which two bets are played. In the game R0, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the normal state using the effect image display device 157. , A normal effect corresponding to the normal state is being executed.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R0 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the final game is in the high navigation state using the effect image display device 157. While displaying the ED production end screen corresponding to the end of the high navigation state and executing the result display 2 in the high navigation state (for example, display of the number of acquired game media, etc.), the display of the normal production is performed. I am erasing. Further, in the game R0, the effect image display device 157 is used to execute a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by a symbol B or “suggestion B” in the figure, which indicates a setting value. .

  In this example, in the high navigation state, the state transitions to the low navigation state without transitioning to a state other than the normal state (such as the AT1 state or the AT2 state). However, the ED effect and the setting suggestion effect are executed.

<Specific example of ED production during BB internal election>
Next, a specific example of the ED effect during the BB internal winning is described with reference to FIG. FIG. 61 is a timing chart showing the flow of the effect, and shows the effect form of the effect to be executed in association with the timing chart.

  FIG. 61A is a diagram illustrating an example of the ED effect performed after the BB game. In order to avoid redundant description, only effects different from the effects described with reference to FIG. 59 will be described.

  The game R580 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 580 and the BB is internally won in the normal state. In the game R580, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, a bet operation is received), the effect state is set to the normal state using the effect image display device 157, and the state is changed to the normal state. In addition to executing the corresponding normal effect, a BB finalizing effect (in this example, displaying an image including the character "bonus finalizing!") Indicating the internal winning of the BB is executed.

  After that, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R580 (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the stop image-related stop operation is suggested using the effect image display device 157. An operation navigation (in this example, a navigation suggesting that a symbol combination "Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1" corresponding to BB (bonus combination) is aimed at) is executed.

  The following game R579 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 579 and a BB is won in the normal state. In the game R579, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the symbol combination “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1” corresponding to BB is stopped and displayed on the winning line), the effect image display is performed. By using the device 157, a BB effect for notifying the start of the BB game is started.

  FIG. 61 (b) is a diagram illustrating an example of the ED effect performed during the BB internal winning. In addition, in order to avoid redundant description, only effects that are different from the effects described with reference to FIG. 61B will be described.

  The game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the BB is being internally won. In this game R0, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the final image is in the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. The display of the ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the state (end effect relating to the end of the AT2 state (= high navi state)) is executed, and the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, display of the number of acquired game media). Running.

  Further, in this game R0, using the effect image display device 157, the operation navigation (in this example, the symbol combination “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1” corresponding to BB (bonus role)) suggesting a stop operation related to BB winning. ) Is continued, and a setting suggestion effect (an effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by reference sign B or “suggestion B” in the figure is performed. .

  In this example, it is configured to be able to shift to a certain advantageous gaming state (a certain gaming state) (in this example, the AT2 state) in an advantageous state (in this example, a high navigation state). The end effect (end effect) (display of the ED effect end screen) in the present example is configured to be executable, and in an advantageous state (high navigation state), the game shifts to a certain gaming state (AT2 state) and ends. (Display of ED production end screen) is configured to be able to start, and when a game is played in the advantageous state (high navigating state) and the internal winning of a special role, the advantageous state ( In the high navigation state), execution of the end effect (display of the ED effect end screen) can be started without shifting to a certain gaming state (AT2 state).

  For this reason, even if the advantageous state is over without the symbols related to the special role being arranged, by making the player feel like having shifted to a certain advantageous gaming state, the player's disappointment and impatience can be reduced. It becomes possible. In addition, since the counter relating to the advantageous state is updated, it is possible to ensure fairness between the player who is correctly playing the first game and the player who is playing the second game.

<Example of linked production>
Next, a specific example of the linked effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 62 to 63 are timing charts each showing a flow of the effect, and show the effect of the effect to be executed in association with the timing chart. FIG. 64 is a diagram showing an example of the linked effect in chronological order.

<Specific example of linked production / When linked production proceeds normally>
FIG. 62 (a) is a diagram showing the flow of an effect when the linked effect proceeds normally.
Here, the linked effect is an effect composed of a plurality of scenes having relevance (story) and executed over a plurality of games. Although the production mode of the linked production is not particularly limited, the linked production (normal pattern) of this example is, as shown in FIG. 64A, a scene of “enemy selection” indicated by reference numeral N and an “enemy decision” indicated by reference numeral N + 1. , A confrontation scene, an “enemy attack” scene indicated by reference numeral N + 2, a “friend attack” scene indicated by reference numeral N + 3 → a “victory (or defeat)” scene indicated by reference numeral N + 4, and the like.

  Returning to FIG. 62, the game R90 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 90 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 9, and a three-bet game is performed. In this game R90, a scene of “enemy selection” is executed as one scene of the linked effect. Although illustration is omitted, in the subsequent period of the game R89 to the game R85, one scene of an interlocking effect is executed in each game since the three-betting game is performed, and the interlocking effect proceeds normally.

  The subsequent games R86 to R83 are games in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 86 to 83 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 5-2, in which a three-bet game is performed. During the period from the game R86 to the game R83, as the continuation of the linked effect, a scene of “enemy decision, confrontation” → a scene of “enemy attack” → a scene of “ally attack” → a scene of “victory” is executed in this order. The linked production has been executed until the last scene.

<Specific example of linked production / When linked production does not normally proceed>
FIG. 62 (b) is a diagram showing a flow of the effect when the linked effect does not normally proceed.
The games R86 to R85 are games in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 86 to 85 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 5 to 4, and in which a three-bet game is performed. During the period from the game R86 to the game R85, as the linked effect, a scene of “enemy determination and confrontation” → a scene of “enemy attack” is executed in this order, and the linked effect proceeds normally.

  The following game R84 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 84, and two bets are played in the judge state. In this game R84, the number of remaining games in the judge state (counter value of the effect state counter) is not updated and remains at 4 since two bets are played in the judge state.

  For this reason, in the game R84, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the judge state using the effect image display device 157. For this reason, while performing the judge effect corresponding to the judge state, a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state (in this example, including the characters “LAST 4G”) Display) has not been updated. Further, since the two-game bet game is performed during the linked effect in the judge state, the scene of the "enemy attack" executed in the immediately preceding game R85 is executed again without proceeding with the linked effect scene. Therefore, in this example, the same scene of the “enemy attack” is repeatedly executed in both the game R85 and the game R84, and the linked effect does not normally proceed. However, in the subsequent game R83 to game R82, a three-bet game was performed, and during the period of the game R83 to game R82, the scene of “ally attack” → the scene of “win” Are executed in this order, and the linked effect is executed up to the last scene.

  In this example, a certain effect (first effect) (in this example, a judge effect) is configured to be executable over a plurality of games, and the first effect (judge effect) is a first scene. The production of the first scene (the scene of "enemy attack"), including the production of the scene of "enemy attack" in this example and the production of the second scene (the scene of "enemy attack" in this example) If the execution of the first game (in this example, three-betting game) is started after the game in which the game has been performed, the second scene (“friend”) in the first game (three-betting game) The execution of the performance of the “attack” scene) can be started, and after the game in which the production of the first scene (the “enemy attack” scene) is performed, the second game (in this example, two cards) When the execution of the betting game is started, the second scene (“friend attack”) in the second game (double betting game) is started. Execution of the effect of the scene) is configured so as not to start.

  For this reason, it is possible to notify that the player has performed a game (second game) disadvantageous to the player in a manner that is not embarrassing for the player.

FIG. 63 (a) is a diagram showing a flow of the effect when the ED effect is started without the linked effect proceeding normally.
The games R86 to R85 are games in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 86 to 85 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 5 to 4, and in which a three-bet game is performed. During the period from the game R86 to the game R85, as the linked effect, a scene of “enemy determination and confrontation” → a scene of “enemy attack” is executed in this order, and the linked effect proceeds normally.

  The following games R84 to R18 are games in which the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is 84 to 18, and two bets are played in the judge state. In the period from game R84 to game R18, since two betting games are performed in the judge state, the number of remaining games (counter value of the effect state counter) in the judge state remains at 4 without being updated.

  For this reason, in the game R84 to the game R18, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is judged using the effect image display device 157. Since the state is the state, while performing the judge effect corresponding to the judge state, a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state (in this example, “LAST 4G”). Not include text). Further, since the two-betting game was performed during the linked production in the judge state, the scene of the linked production is not advanced and the scene of the “enemy attack” executed in the immediately preceding game R85 is continuously executed. . Therefore, in the present example, the same “enemy attack” scene is repeatedly executed during the period from the game R85 to the game R18, and the linked effect does not normally proceed.

  The following game R17 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 17, the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the judge state is 19, and a three-bet game is performed. In this game R17, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the ED effect is started, and at the same time, the effect state is displayed using the effect image display device 157. Has shifted from the judge state to the LMT state, the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and the operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” Display).

  On the other hand, although the number of games in the high navigation state (count value of the high navigation state counter) is 17, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20. Therefore, a display including an image indicating the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including the characters “20/20”) Display).

  In this example, the same “enemy attack” scene was repeatedly executed during the period from game R85 to game R18, and the linked effect did not normally proceed. It has been started, and the linked effect has not been executed until the last scene (in this example, the “victory” or “defeat” scene of the linked effect that functions as a notice of a subsequent game).

  FIG. 63 (b) is a diagram showing an example of the linked effect in the case where the two-swing betting game is continued in the judge state.

  The games R86 to R85 are games in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 86 to 85 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 5 to 4, and in which a three-bet game is performed. During the period from the game R86 to the game R85, as the linked effect, a scene of “enemy determination and confrontation” → a scene of “enemy attack” is executed in this order, and the linked effect proceeds normally.

  The subsequent games R84 to R1 are games in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 84 to 1 and two bets are played in the judge state. In the period from the game R84 to the game R1, since the two betting games are performed in the judge state, the number of remaining games in the judge state (counter value of the effect state counter) is not updated and remains at four.

  For this reason, in the game R84 to the game R1, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is judged using the effect image display device 157. Since the state is the state, while performing the judge effect corresponding to the judge state, a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state (in this example, “LAST 4G”). Not include text).

  Further, since the two-betting game was performed during the linked production in the judge state, the scene of the linked production is not advanced and the scene of the “enemy attack” executed in the immediately preceding game R85 is continuously executed. . Therefore, in the present example, during the period of the game R85 to the game R1, as shown in FIG. 64 (B), the same “enemy attack” scene is executed repeatedly, and the linked effect does not normally proceed. For this reason, the player can easily notice that the two-player bet game has been performed by observing the progress of the linked effect.

  The following game R0 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 0 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 4, and a two-bet game is performed. In the game R0, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, a pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the final game in the high navigation state is performed using the effect image display device 157. , An ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the high navigation state is displayed, and the result display 2 (for example, the display of the number of game media acquired) in the high navigation state is executed, while the judge effect is displayed. Has been erased. Further, in the game R0, the effect image display device 157 is used to execute a setting suggestion effect (effect capable of estimating the setting value) indicated by a symbol B or “suggestion B” in the figure, which indicates a setting value. .

  In this example, the same “enemy attack” scene is repeatedly executed during the period of the game R85 to the game R1, and the linked effect does not normally proceed. Therefore, the high navigation state ends in the game R0 and the ED effect is performed. Has been started, and the linked effect has not been executed up to the last scene (in this example, the "victory" or "defeat" scene of the linked effect that functions as a notice of a subsequent game). For this reason, the player can easily notice that the two-player bet game has been performed by observing the progress of the linked effect.

  FIGS. 64 (B) to 64 (D) are diagrams showing modified examples of the linked effect. The linked effect according to the present invention is not limited to the linked effect described with reference to FIG. 64 (A). For example, as indicated by reference numeral N in FIG. 64 (B), the “enemy selection” scene and the “enemy determination” The scene of "confrontation" may be composed of one scene.

  As shown in FIG. 64 (C), a scene of “enemy attack and ally attack” is newly added, and as shown by reference numeral N + 1 in FIG. 64 (C), a scene of “enemy attack and ally attack” And the scene of "enemy attack" and the scene of "enemy attack and ally attack" and the scene of "ally attack" as shown by the symbol N + 2 in FIG. You may.

  Further, after executing the scene of “enemy attack and ally attack” composed of one scene as shown by reference numeral N + 1 in FIG. 64 (D), one scene as shown by reference numeral N + 2 in FIG. 64 (D) May be executed.

  Further, depending on the type of the linked effect shown in FIGS. 64 (A) to 64 (D), the contents of the privilege given to the player may be changed or the degree of expectation may be changed. In addition, even when a two-betting game is performed, all scenes may be executed without fail in a certain aspect of the linked effect. (Or the last scene suggesting a judge result (eg, a “win” or “defeat” scene)) may not be played.

<Specific example of specific display>
Next, a specific example of the specific display will be described with reference to FIGS. 65 to 67. FIG. 65 to FIG. 66 are timing charts each showing a flow of the effect, and show the effect form of the effect to be executed in association with the timing chart. FIG. 67 is a diagram showing an example of the specific display in chronological order.

<Specific example of specific display / Three-game bet at judge transition>
FIG. 65 (a) is a diagram showing an example of the flow of an effect when a three-betting game is performed when the effect state shifts from the AT2 state to the judge state in the high navigation state.

  The game R82 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 82, the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 1, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R82, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state (for example, an effect indicated by reference numeral d1 in FIG. 67 (A), in which the character of the palace is running), and an operation navigation (in this example, “2 -1-3 ”is displayed, and since the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is 1, an image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is included. Display (in this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 1G”) is performed.

  In the game R82, the effect image display device 157 is used to display the number of game media acquired in the high navigation state (in the example indicated by the symbol d1 in FIG. 67 (A), the characters “GET 1320” are included). Display), and when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), it is suggested that the third stop operation is received using the effect image display device 157. (For example, an effect of darkening the entire screen, which is indicated by reference numeral d1 ′ in FIG. 67A).

  The following game R81 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high-navigation state is 81 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 0, and a game in which three bets are played. In the game R81, an AT2 effect is performed and the operation navigation is executed in the same manner as the game R82, while a display including an image indicating the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state (in this example, Display of an image including the characters “LAST 0G”).

  In addition, in the game R81, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , The display of the AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state (for example, a background image including the character of “end” indicated by reference numeral d2 in FIG. 67 (A)), and displaying the result 1 in the AT2 state. For example, an image showing the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state while executing the display of the number of game media acquired in the high navigation state (indicated by d2 in FIG. 67A). In this example, the display including the display (the display of the image including the characters “LAST 0G”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. In this example, the example in which the display of the AT2 end effect screen is performed in the final game in the AT2 state has been described. However, the display may be performed at another timing (for example, after shifting to the judge state).

  The following game R80 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 80, the number of remaining games in the judge state shifted from the AT2 state is 9, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R80, the effect state is changed from the AT2 state to the judge state by using the effect image display device 157 until a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, until a press operation of the start lever 135 is accepted (immediately after BET, etc.)). Since the transition to the state has started, the judge effect corresponding to the start of the judge state is started, and since the number of remaining games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 10, the number of games (effect state counter (In this example, display of an image including the character “defeat within 10 G”) is performed.

  After that, in the game R80, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is determined to be the judge state using the effect image display device 157. Since the judge effect corresponding to the judge state is executed, and the remaining game number in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 9, the image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 9G”).

  Here, an example of a judge effect performed in the game R80 will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, when a press operation of the start lever 135 is received, a judge effect start screen indicated by reference sign d3 is displayed, and when a first stop operation is received in the game, a judge effect (interlocking effect effect) indicated by reference sign d4 is displayed. Is performed, which is a scene of “enemy selection”, which is one scene of the game, and a third stop operation is received in the game. (A scene of “enemy selection”, which is one scene of the linked performance, a performance indicating that the enemy has been selected), and a certain time has elapsed since the third stop operation was received in the game Then, a judge effect indicated by reference sign d4 '' (a scene indicating “enemy selection”, which is one scene of the interlocking effect, indicating that the enemy has been determined) is executed.

<Specific example of specific display / Two betting game at judge transition>
FIG. 65 (b) is a diagram showing an example of the flow of an effect when a two-bet game is performed when the effect state changes from the AT2 state to the judge state in the high navigation state. Note that the flow of the effects of the game R82 to the game R81 and the game R79 is substantially the same as the effect described with reference to FIG.

  The game R80 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 80, and a two-bet game is performed. In this game R80, since two betting games were performed in the judge state, a display including an image indicating the judge effect corresponding to the judge state and the number of remaining games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. Without performing the operation, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the specific display (in this example, a black-colored display) is performed using the effect image display device 157. Display including only the background image).

  Here, the “specific display (specific display)” refers to a display that is not related to the advantageous state, for example, a display (for example, displayed at the end of the first advantageous gaming state (for example, the AT2 state)). A display different from any of the AT2 end screen display) and a certain display (for example, a judge effect) corresponding to the second advantageous game state (for example, a judge state) corresponds to the display. The display mode of the specific display is not particularly limited. For example, the specific display is an image display including a certain character (in this example, a character “preparing for production”) indicated by reference numeral d5. Or a display composed of a certain pattern, figure, or the like.

  In this example, in the judge state, a three-betting game is performed after a two-betting game is performed. However, if the two-betting game is continued, certain conditions are also satisfied in the two-betting game. When the establishment is achieved (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the specific display is displayed using the effect image display device 157. In this case, the display of the AT2 end screen may be executed until a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, until an operation of pressing the start lever 135 is received). With such a configuration, even when the specific display is displayed, the player can know the end of the AT2 state, and can improve the convenience of the player.

<Specific Example of Specific Display / Modified Example of Three-Betting Game at Judge Transition>
FIG. 66 (a) is a diagram showing a modification of the flow of the effect when a three-betting game is performed when the effect state shifts from the AT2 state to the judge state in the high navigation state.

  The game R81 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 81 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 0, and a game in which three bets are played. In the game R81, as in the game R82, an AT2 effect (for example, an effect indicated by a symbol d1 in FIG. 67 (A), in which a character of the lord is running) is performed, and the operation navigation is executed. A display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) (display of an image including the characters “LAST 0G” in this example) is executed.

  In the game R81, the effect image display device 157 is used to display the number of game media acquired in the high navigation state (in the example indicated by the symbol d1 in FIG. 67A, the characters “GET 1320” are included). Display), and when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect image display device 157 is used to trigger the final game in the AT2 state. While displaying an AT2 end effect screen (for example, a background image including a character of “end” indicated by reference numeral d2 in FIG. 67A) corresponding to the end of the AT2 state, the result display 1 in the AT2 state is displayed. Not running.

  The following game R80 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 80, the number of remaining games in the judge state shifted from the AT2 state is 9, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R80, the result display 1 in the AT2 state (for example, the display of the number of game media acquired in the high navigation state, the display including the characters of “GET 1328”, indicated by reference numeral d2 in FIG. 67A) is executed. doing.

<Specific Example of Specific Display / Modification of Two-Betting Game at Judge Transition>
FIG. 66 (b) is a diagram showing a modification of the flow of production when a two-bet game is performed when the production state shifts from the AT2 state to the judge state in the high navigation state. The flow of the effect of the game R81 is substantially the same as the effect described with reference to FIG.

  The game R80 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 80, and a two-bet game is performed. In this game R80, since two betting games were performed in the judge state, a display including an image indicating the judge effect corresponding to the judge state and the number of remaining games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. Without performing the operation, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the specific display (in this example, a black-colored display) is performed using the effect image display device 157. Display including only the background image).

  Further, in the game R81, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the result display 1 in the AT2 state (for example, as indicated by reference numeral d2 in FIG. 67B). As shown in the figure, the display of the number of game media acquired in the high-navigation state, that is, the display including the characters "GET 1326 (1328-2) because losing was won by hanging two)".

  In the present example, in the advantageous state (in this example, the high navigation state), it is possible to shift to the first advantageous game state (in this example, the AT2 state) and the second advantageous game state (in this example, the judge state). The first advantageous game state (AT2 state) is more advantageous for the player than the second advantageous game state (judge state), and the first advantageous game state (AT2 state) is provided. After the game is over, the game can be shifted to the second advantageous game state (judgment state), and the display means (the effect image display device 157 in this example) displays the first display (AT2 end screen in this example). ), A second display (in this example, a judge effect), and a third display (in this example, a specific display (display including only a blackened background image)). The display indicates the end of the first advantageous gaming state (AT2 state). The second display is a certain display corresponding to the second advantageous game state (judgment state), and the third display is a specific display not related to the advantageous state (high navigation state). When the execution of the first game (in this example, a three-stake betting game) is started after the first display is displayed, a specific count value (in this example, the high navigation state) Counter is updated so that the second display can be displayed in the first game, and after the first display is displayed, execution of the second game (in this example, a two-stake betting game) Is started, the specific count value (in this example, the high navigation state counter) is updated, and the third display can be displayed in the game.

  For this reason, it is possible to notify that the player has performed a game (second game) disadvantageous to the player in a manner that is not embarrassing for the player. Since the counter relating to the advantageous state is updated, it is possible to ensure fairness between the player who is correctly playing the first game and the player who is playing the second game. In addition, a game in the next game state can be enjoyed comfortably while the first game is being correctly performed.

  FIGS. 67 (A) to 67 (D) are diagrams showing specific examples of the flow of the effect including the specific display. In the above-described embodiment, the effects shown in FIGS. (A) and (B) are mainly applied. However, the linked effects according to the present invention are not limited to these effects. For example, the effects shown in FIGS. As indicated by reference numeral d6 in FIG. (D), instead of displaying the number of game media acquired in the high navigation state, the number of game media acquired in a certain effect state (AT2 state in this example) is displayed. Is also good.

<Specific examples of updating the ceiling counter and promotion counter>
Next, a specific example of updating the ceiling counter and the promotion counter will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 68 to 74 are timing charts each showing a flow of the effect, and show the effect form of the effect to be executed in association with the timing chart.

  Here, the item of “ceiling counter” in each figure indicates the number of remaining games until the game reaches the ceiling. In each figure, “promotion counter”, “AT1 type”, “judgment mode”, and “confirmation notification flag” indicate variables, flags, etc. (internal information of the slot machine) in the above-described various flowcharts, respectively. The item of “condition device” in each drawing is the No. of the condition device in FIG. (Number).

<Specific example of updating the ceiling counter and the promotion counter / When reaching the ceiling by playing three bets>
FIG. 68 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the effect when the three games are played in the high navigation state and the ceiling is reached, and the effect state transitions in the order of the normal state, the fixed notification state, and the AT1 state.

  The game R300 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 300, the number of remaining games in the normal state is 4, and a three-bet game is performed. In this game R300, since the ceiling counter after the subtraction has reached a certain value (0 in this example), it is determined that the ceiling has been reached, and as a normal effect, a sign effect indicating that the state shifts to the AT1 state. Has begun. Further, in the normal state processing A described with reference to FIG. 19, since the ceiling counter after the subtraction has reached a certain value (0 in this example), the AT1 type lottery is performed, and the AT1 winning flag is turned on. It is ready to be set and the effect state is shifted to the AT1 state. Although not shown, in the subsequent period of the game R299 to the game R297, the precursor effect is continued as a normal effect.

  The following game R296 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 296, and the number of remaining games in the normal state is 0, and a three-bet game is performed. In this game R296, since the effect state counter has become 0 in the normal state (since the normal state has ended), preparations are made to shift the effect state from the normal state to the confirmation notification state, and the normal effect , An indication effect indicating that a transition to the AT1 state is being performed.

  The following game R295 is a game in which the remaining number of games in the high navigation state is 295, and the game is in the final notification state immediately after the transition from the normal state, and in which a three-player betting game is performed. In this game R295, as a normal effect, a bonus confirmation display (in this example, a display including the character “bonus confirmation!”) For notifying the transition to the AT1 state (in this example, a pseudo bonus) is executed. In this game R295, in the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20, since the AT1 type is low, the promotion counter addition lottery is performed, and a determination as to whether to promote the AT1 type is made. After that, in the confirmation notification state process B described with reference to FIG. 29, a process of setting the confirmation notification flag from off to on is performed.

  The following game R294 is the second game in the confirmed notification state in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 294, and is a game in which a three-bet game is performed. In this game R294, a bonus confirmation display (in this example, a display including the character “bonus confirmation!”) Is continued as a normal effect. In the game R294, in the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20, since the AT1 type is low, the promotion counter addition lottery is performed, and a determination as to whether to promote the AT1 type is made. After that, a display relating to the promotion lottery of the AT1 type (promotion lottery display) is performed.

  Further, in this game R294, in the finalization notification state process B described with reference to FIG. 29, since the finalization notification flag is on, the condition device has the internal winning result of the AT1 type (in this example, No. 3 or No. 3). No. 4). In this example, the condition device is No. Since it was 5, the production state is maintained in the confirmed notification state.

  The following game R293 is the third game in the confirmed notification state in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 293, and is a game in which three betting games are performed. In this game R293, the bonus confirmation display (display including the character “bonus confirmation!” In this example) is continued as a normal effect. Further, in this game R293, in the finalized notification state process A described with reference to FIG. 20, since the AT1 type is low, the promotion counter addition lottery is performed, and a determination as to whether to promote the AT1 type is made. Is going.

  Further, in this game R293, in the finalization notification state process B described with reference to FIG. 29, since the finalization notification flag is on, the condition device has an internal winning result (No. 3 or No. 3 in this example) related to the AT1 type. No. 4). In this example, the condition device is No. 3 and the operation navigation (in this example, the navigation prompting the reverse push operation aiming at the symbol of Seven 1 or Seven 2) is executed, and the preparation for shifting the production state from the fixed notification state to the AT1 state is made. Is going.

  The following game R292 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 292, the number of remaining games in the AT1 state shifted from the final notification state is 20, and a three-bet game is performed. In the game R292, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the BET operation is performed), the effect state is the AT1 state using the effect image display device 157. Is performed, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the remaining number of games in the AT1 state (the effect state counter before subtraction) is executed. Is displayed, the display including the image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the display of the image including the character “20G”) is executed.

<Specific example of updating the ceiling counter and the promotion counter / In case of not reaching the ceiling in a two-betting game>
FIG. 69 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the production in the case where the two betting game is performed in the high navigation state, the ceiling state is not reached, and the production state is maintained in the normal state.

  In this example, since the two-gaming game is continued in the game after the ceiling counter reaches 699, the ceiling counter is not subtracted. Therefore, in the normal state processing A described with reference to FIG. 19, the ceiling counter after the subtraction is not determined to be a certain value (0 in this example), and the effect state shifts to the AT1 state. Not even. Also, in the two-bet game, the effect state counter in the normal state is not updated, so that in the normal state processing B described with reference to FIG. 28, it is not determined that the effect state counter has become 0. However, the production state does not become the final announcement state.

  That is, in this example, a certain second counter (in this example, a ceiling counter) different from the first counter (in this example, the high navigation state counter) relating to the advantageous state (in this example, the high navigation state). Is configured to be able to update a certain count value of the second counter (ceiling counter) every time a game is played in the advantageous state (high navigation state), and the certain count value is set to the second certain value. When the value becomes 0 (in this example), it is configured to shift to a specific advantageous state (AT1 state in this example) which is advantageous to the player. In the case where one game (in this example, a game of three bets) is performed, both of a specific count value (a value of a high navigation state counter) and a certain count value (a value of a ceiling counter) are counted. The value is configured to be updatable, In the case where the second game (in this example, the double betting game) is performed in the navigation state), the specific count value (the value of the high navigation state counter) and a certain count value (the value of the ceiling counter) are determined. Only the specific count value (the value of the high navigation state counter) is configured to be updatable.

  For this reason, since the counter relating to the advantageous state is updated, it is possible to ensure fairness between the player who is playing the first game correctly and the player who is playing the second game. Also, by preferentially treating a player who has correctly played the first game, it can be expected that a player who has not correctly played the game will be corrected.

<Specific example of updating the ceiling counter and the promotion counter / When reaching the ceiling with a 3-betting game and a 2-betting game>
FIG. 70 shows an example of the flow of the production in the case where the three-player game and the two-player bet game are performed in the high navigation state and the ceiling is reached, and the production state shifts in the order of the normal state, the confirmation notification state, and the AT1 state. FIG.

  In this example, since two betting games are performed in a plurality of games after the ceiling counter reaches 699, the period of the two betting games (in this example, the game from the next game after the game R999 to the game In the period of 100 games up to R899), the ceiling counter is not decremented. For this reason, in the game after the game R898, the three-betting game is performed and the ceiling counter is decremented. However, the effect example described with reference to FIG. The number of games required to reach the ceiling is 100 games behind, and the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 200, and the game reaches the ceiling. Note that the flow of the effect in the case of transition from the normal state to the confirmed notification state to the AT1 state is the same as in the other embodiments, and therefore, the description thereof will be omitted.

<Updating of the ceiling counter and the promotion counter / When shifting to the LMT state without reaching the ceiling>
FIG. 71 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of an effect in a case where a three-player game and a two-player bet game are performed in the high navigation state, and the game shifts to the LMT state without reaching the ceiling.

  In this example, since two betting games are performed in a plurality of games after the ceiling counter reaches 699, the period of the two betting games (in this example, the game from the next game after the game R999 to the game In the period up to the game before R20), the ceiling counter is not decremented. For this reason, in the subsequent game after the game R19, a three-bet game is performed. However, compared to the effect example described with reference to FIG. 68 (the number of remaining games in the high navigation state reaches 300 on the ceiling), The number of games before reaching the ceiling is delayed, and the game has shifted to the LMT state without reaching the ceiling (the ceiling counter does not become 0). Note that the flow of the effect in the case of transition from the normal state to the LMT state is the same as in the other embodiments, and a description thereof will be omitted.

<Specific example of updating the ceiling counter and the promotion counter / When shifting to the low navigation state without reaching the ceiling>
FIG. 72 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the effect when a three-player game and a two-player bet game are performed in the high navigation state, and the game shifts to the low navigation state without reaching the ceiling.

  In this example, since two betting games are performed in a plurality of games after the ceiling counter reaches 699, the period of the two betting games (in this example, the game from the next game after the game R999 to the game In the period up to R0), the ceiling counter is not decremented. For this reason, the number of games required to reach the ceiling is delayed as compared to the effect example described with reference to FIG. 68 (the number of remaining games in the high navigation state reaches 300 at the ceiling), and the game does not reach the ceiling. (The ceiling counter does not become 0), the high navigation state ends with the normal state, and the state shifts to the low navigation state.

  The flow of the effect in the case of transition from the normal state of the high navigation state to the normal state of the low navigation state is the same as that of the other embodiments, and a description thereof will be omitted, but using FIG. 60 (b). As described above, in this example, in the high navigation state, the state transitions to the low navigation state without transitioning to a state other than the normal state (such as the AT1 state or the AT2 state). However, the ED effect and the setting suggestion effect are executed. ing.

<Specific example of updating the ceiling counter and promotion counter / If the promotion counter is not updated>
FIG. 73 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the effect in the case where the three-player game and the two-player bet game are performed in the finalized notification state of the high navigation state and the promotion counter is not updated.

  In this example, since the two-bet game is performed in a plurality of games in the final notification state in which the effect state has shifted from the normal state, the period of the two-bet game (in the present example, the next game R294 In the period from the game to the game R270), the promotion counter is not decremented. For this reason, the number of games until the transition from the finalized notification state to the AT1 state is delayed compared to the effect example described with reference to FIG. 68 (the number of remaining games in the high navigation state reaches the ceiling at 300), and AT1 After the display regarding the type promotion lottery (promotion lottery display) is performed over a plurality of game periods (the period from game R294 to game R270 in this example), the state is shifted to the AT1 state. Note that the flow of the effect in the case of shifting from the finalized notification state to the AT1 state is the same as in the other embodiments, and a description thereof will be omitted.

<Specific example of updating the ceiling counter and promotion counter / When not performing operation navigation>
FIG. 74 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the effect when the operation navigation is not performed in the high-navigation finalization notification state.

[Embodiment 2]
Hereinafter, the slot machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
In addition, in order to avoid redundant description, only a configuration different from the game console according to the first embodiment will be described in principle. In addition, FIGS. 88 to 96 are used in principle only for the description of the second embodiment, and even if duplicate reference numerals are shown in other drawings, FIGS. The reference numeral 96 is prioritized.

<AT2 state processing A>
First, AT2 state processing A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 88 (a) is a flowchart showing the flow of the AT2 state processing A according to the second embodiment, and corresponds to the AT2 state processing A according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the AT2 state process A according to the second embodiment, the processes of steps S1451 to S1453 are added to the AT2 state process A according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. Specifically, in step S1451, it is determined whether the LMT standby flag is off or on. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S1452, and if it is on, the process proceeds to step S1453. In step S1452, in the lottery table shown in FIG. 88 (b), the number-of-AT-times addition lottery 1 is performed using the lottery value corresponding to "LMT standby flag off", and the process proceeds to step S1402. On the other hand, in step S1453, in the lottery table shown in FIG. 88 (b), the number-of-AT-times addition lottery 2 is performed using the lottery value corresponding to “LMT standby flag ON”, and the process proceeds to step S1402.

  As described above, in this example, the number of AT-added games in the AT2 state is changed according to the state of the LMT standby flag. Specifically, when the LMT standby flag is off, the number of AT-added games is selected in the range of 0G to 100G according to the internally won combination, but when the LMT standby flag is on, the internally won game is selected. The number of AT-added games is selected in the range of 0G to 10G according to the role. That is, in the AT2 state, when the LMT standby flag is ON (when the state shifts from the AT2 state to the LMT state), the ATMT is lower than when the LMT standby flag is OFF (when the state does not shift from the AT2 state to the LMT state). The number of additional games is configured to be reduced.

<Judge state processing B>
Next, the judge state process B according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 89 (a) is a flowchart showing a flow of the judgment state processing B according to the second embodiment, and corresponds to the judgment state processing B according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the judgment state processing B according to the second embodiment, the processing of steps S2251 to S2253 is added to the judgment state processing B according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. Specifically, in step S2251, it is determined whether or not the correction condition is satisfied. If the correction condition is not satisfied (no correction is necessary), the process proceeds to step S2203, and if the correction condition is satisfied (correction is performed). If necessary, the process proceeds to step S2252.

  Here, the determination as to whether or not the correction condition is satisfied in step S2251 (correction condition determination) is performed in the following procedure. In the AT2 initial number lottery in step S2202, one of the AT2 initial numbers specified in the AT2 initial number lottery table shown in FIG. 89B is selected. Subsequently, in the correction condition determination in step S2251, the value (X) of the high navigation state counter at the time of the determination is obtained, and the AT2 selected in the AT2 initial number lottery in step S2202 from the value X of the high navigation state counter. The initial count (Y) is subtracted. If the value (XY) after the subtraction is equal to or smaller than the first determination value (100 in this example), it is determined that the correction condition is satisfied.

  In the correction condition determination in step S2251, the difference number (A) at the time of the determination is obtained, and the difference number (A) is corresponded to the AT2 initial number (Y) selected in the AT2 initial number lottery in step S2202. The expected number (B) to be subtracted is subtracted. Then, also when the value (AB) after the subtraction is equal to or less than the second determination value (in this example, 1500), it is determined that the correction condition is satisfied.

  In step 2252, the AT2 correction value is set in the effect state counter. In the next step S2253, the LMT standby flag is set to ON, and the flow advances to step S2204. Here, the AT correction value in step S2252 is calculated by adding a certain value (20 in this example) to the AT2 initial number (Y) selected in the AT2 initial number lottery in step S2202. Therefore, for example, when the value (X) of the high navigation state counter at the time of the correction condition determination is 100 and the AT2 initial number (Y) selected by the AT2 initial number lottery is 30, the correction condition is satisfied. In step S2252, 50 (= AT2 initial count (Y) 30 + 20 selected in the AT2 initial count lottery) is set as the AT2 correction value.

  In the judge state processing B according to the second embodiment, the lottery value (the number of pullbacks G) is set in the effect state counter in the pullback state in step S2206. However, as shown in FIG. When the lottery value (the number of pull-back G) is 1 G, the degree of expectation for pull-back is higher than when the number is 2 to 9 G.

<AT2 state processing B>
Next, the AT2 state processing B according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 90 is a flowchart showing the flow of the AT2 state processing B according to the second embodiment, and corresponds to the AT2 state processing B according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the AT2 state process B according to the second embodiment, the processes of steps S2351 to S2353 are added to the AT2 state process B according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. Specifically, in step S2351, it is determined whether the LMT standby flag is off or on. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S2302, and if it is on, the process proceeds to step S2352. In step S2352, the value of the LMT initial value + 1 is set in the effect state counter. In the next step S2353, the effect state is set to the LMT state, and then the flow proceeds to step 2306.

  As described above, in this example, in the judge state (judgment state processing B shown in FIG. 89), if the effect state is set to the AT2 state and the LMT standby flag is set to ON, the state is changed from the AT2 state. It is configured to shift to the LMT state.

<Retraction state processing B>
Next, the retraction state processing B according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 91A is a flowchart showing the flow of the retraction state processing B according to the second embodiment, and corresponds to the retraction state processing B according to the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the retraction state processing B according to the second embodiment, the processing of steps S2451 to S2453 is added to the retraction state processing B according to the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. Specifically, in step S2451, it is determined whether or not the correction condition is satisfied. If the correction condition is not satisfied (no correction is necessary), the process proceeds to step S2403, and if the correction condition is satisfied (correction is performed). If necessary, the process proceeds to step S2452. Note that the correction condition determination (determination as to whether or not the correction condition is satisfied) performed in step S2451 is the same as step S2251 of the judge state process B described with reference to FIG. Is omitted.

  In step 2452, the AT2 correction value is set in the effect state counter. In the next step S2453, the LMT standby flag is set to ON, and the flow advances to step S2404.

  FIG. 91B is a diagram showing an example of transition of the AT state in the high navigation state. FIG. 91 (b) (1) shows a typical transition example of the AT state, in which the transition is performed in the order of the AT1 state (20G) → the AT2 state (30G to 100G).

  On the other hand, FIGS. 91 (b) and (2) show another example of the transition of the AT state, in which the state is the AT1 state (20G) → judge state → AT2 state (30G to 100G) → retraction state → AT2 state (10G). It is an example of shifting in order. In this example, the AT2 state shifted from the retraction state is more disadvantageous for the player than the AT1 state. Note that the number of games in the AT2 state shifted from the retraction state is not limited to this example, and may be, for example, 10G to 50G.

  FIGS. 91 (b) and (3) show other transition examples of the AT state, in which the AT1 state (20G) → the judge state → the AT2 state (30G to 100G) → the retraction state → the AT3 state (10G). It is an example of shifting in order. In the present example, the AT state shifted from the retraction state is the AT3 state different from the AT1 state and the AT2 state, and is more disadvantageous for the player than the AT1 state. Note that the number of games in the AT3 state shifted from the retraction state is not limited to this example, and may be, for example, 10G to 50G.

<Specific examples of various effects, various displays, etc.>

FIG. 92 (a) is a diagram showing a flow of the effect when the effect state transitions from the AT2 state, the judge state, and the withdrawal state in the high navigation state in the order of the low navigation state to the normal state.

  The game R328 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 328 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 2. In the game R328, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed, an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state (an effect state counter) is executed. Is displayed, the display including the image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the display including the character “LAST 2G”) is executed. .

  The following game R327 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 327 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is one. In the game R327, while performing the AT2 effect and the operation navigation in the same manner as the game R328, a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state (in this example, Display of an image including the characters “LAST 1G”).

  The following game R326 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 326 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 0. In this game R326, an AT2 effect is executed and an operation navigation is executed in the same manner as in the game R328 to the game R327, and a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is displayed. In the example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 0G” is executed.

  In addition, in the game R326, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game R326 is the final game in the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state is displayed, and the result display 1 (for example, the display of the number of game media obtained) in the AT2 state is executed, while the remaining game number in the AT2 state ( The display including the image indicating the effect state counter value (in this example, the display including the image of “LAST 0G”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted.

  The following game R325 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 325 and the number of remaining games in the judge state shifted from the AT2 state is nine. In the game R325, the effect state is changed from the AT2 state to the judge state by using the effect image display device 157 until a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, until a pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted (immediately after BET, etc.)). Since the transition to the state has started, the judge effect corresponding to the start of the judge state is started, and since the number of remaining games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 10, the number of games (effect state counter (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 10G”).

  Then, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R325 (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is determined to be the judge state using the effect image display device 157. Since the judge effect corresponding to the judge state is executed, and the remaining game number in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 9, the image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 9G”).

  The games R315 to R314 are games in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 315 to 314, and the number of remaining games in the retraction state shifted from the judge state is 1 to 0. In this game R315 to game R314, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is changed from the judge state using the effect image display device 157. Since the state has shifted to the retraction state, a normal screen (retraction) corresponding to the retraction state is displayed. After the end of the game R314, the retraction state of the high navigation state ends, the state shifts to the normal state of the low navigation state, and the effect image display device 157 is used to display the normal screen corresponding to the normal state of the low navigation state ( (Normal) is displayed.

  The display mode of the normal screen (normal) may be at least partially the same as the display mode of the normal screen (pull-back), or may be entirely different from the display mode of the normal screen (pull-back). In addition, when displaying a screen having the same display mode, it is preferable that the probability that the screen be displayed in the retracted state is higher than the probability that the screen is displayed in the low navigation state.

FIG. 92 (b) is a diagram illustrating a flow of the effect when the effect state shifts from the AT2 state to the LMT state in the order of the high navigation state and then shifts to the normal state of the low navigation state.

  The game R69 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 69 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 0. In the game R69, an AT2 effect is executed and the operation navigation is executed in the same manner as the previous games R71 to R70, and a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 0G”) is executed.

  Further, in the game R69, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game R69 is the final game in the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state is displayed, and the result display 1 (for example, the display of the number of game media obtained) in the AT2 state is executed, while the remaining game number in the AT2 state ( The display including the image indicating the effect state counter value (in this example, the display including the image of “LAST 0G”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted.

  The game R68 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 68, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state shifted from the AT2 state is 19. In the game R68, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is changed from the AT2 state to the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the transition has been made, an ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the start of the LMT state is started, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation is executed, and the LMT operation is performed. Since the total number of games in the state is 20, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 20, the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (effect state counter) Is displayed (in this example, an image including the characters “20/20”) is displayed. Note that the filling of the operation navigation indicates that the stop operation has not been performed yet at the same timing.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R68 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157, Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed and the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games in the judge state (count value of the effect state counter) is 19, the LMT state (In this example, display of an image including the characters "remaining 19/20") including an image indicating the total number of games in and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the LMT state. I have. Since the flow of the effects of the game R67 to the game R50 is almost the same, the description is omitted.

  The game R49 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 49 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 0. In the game R49, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. Since the ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state is executed, the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is 0. A display including an image indicating the total number of games in the state and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) (display of an image including the characters “0/20” in this example) is executed. ing.

  After that, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R49 (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. While displaying the ED effect end screen corresponding to the end of the LMT state, the result display 2 in the LMT state (for example, display of the number of game media acquired, the number of games in the AT2 state, etc.) is performed, while the LMT state is displayed. In this example, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in the present example, the display of the image including the characters “0/20”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. After the end of the game R49, the LMT state of the high navigation state ends, the state shifts to the normal state of the low navigation state, and the effect image display device 157 is used to display the normal screen corresponding to the normal state of the low navigation state ( (Normal) is displayed.

  In this example, after the second advantageous game state (AT2 state in this example) ends, it is configured to be able to shift to the fourth advantageous game state (judge state or pullback state in this example). After the third advantageous game state (in this example, the LMT state) is completed, the state is shifted to the normal state (in this example, the low navigation state), and the effect in the second advantageous game state (in this example) In this case, the mode of the AT2 effect) is different from the mode of the effect (in this example, the ED effect) in the third advantageous gaming state.

  According to this example, since the advantageous game state that can be expected can be easily understood, it is possible to make the player play the game with a sense of expectation.

<AT2 state → Judge state → Pullback state → AT2 state>
FIG. 93 (a) is a diagram showing a flow of the effect when the effect state changes in the order of AT2 state → judgment state → retracted state → AT2 state in the high navigation state, using FIG. 92 (a). The continuation of the described effect is shown.

  The game R315 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 315, and the number of remaining games in the retraction state after shifting from the judge state is one, and is a specific rare role (in this example, small role 2 or small role). This is a game in which the game is shifted to the AT2 state from the next game due to the internal winning in 3). In the game R315, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is changed from the judge state to the retracted state using the effect image display device 157. Since the transition has been made, the normal screen (retraction) corresponding to the retraction state is displayed.

  The subsequent game R314 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 314, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state shifted from the retraction state is nine. In the game R314, until the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, until the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted (immediately after BET, etc.)), the effect state is changed from the judge state to AT2 using the effect image display device 157. Since the state has shifted to the AT2 state, the AT2 effect corresponding to the start of the AT2 state is started, and the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state before the update is 50. The display including the image indicating the effect state counter value (display of the image including the character “50G” in this example) is executed.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R314 (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. Since the AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed and the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is 49, the image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 49G”).

  In the present example, when shifting from the retraction state to the AT state, a shift is made to the AT2 state, which is more advantageous to the player than the AT1 state. Although illustration is omitted, in the case of performing a bet game of three after performing a bet game of two in the withdrawal state, the state shifts to another high navigation state (for example, the LMT state) without shifting to the AT2 state. May be. Although illustration is omitted, in the case where the game of two bets is continued in the withdrawal state, the high-navigation state may be ended and the low-navigation state may be shifted without shifting to the AT2 state.

<AT2 state → LMT state → Low navigation state → Normal state → Confirmation notification state → AT1 state>
FIG. 93 (b) shows that, in the high navigation state, the effect state shifts from the AT2 state to the LMT state in the order, then shifts to the normal state of the low navigation state, shifts to the high navigation state again, and the effect state changes to the normal state. FIG. 92 is a diagram showing a flow of the effect when the transition is made in the order of the fixed notification state → the AT1 state, and shows a continuation of the effect described with reference to FIG. 92 (b).

  In this example, after transitioning to the normal state of the low navigation state, the state transitions to the high navigation state again, and the effect state transitions in the order of the normal state, the confirmed notification state, and the AT1 state.

  The game R658 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 658, and the number of remaining games in the AT1 state which has shifted from the final notification state is 19. In the game R658, until the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the press operation of the start lever 135 is received (immediately after BET, etc.)), the effect image display device 157 is used to change the effect state from the finalized notification state. Since the state has shifted to the AT1 state, an AT1 effect corresponding to the start of the AT1 state is started, and the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT1 state before updating is 20, so that the game number The display including the image indicating the (count value of the effect state counter) (display of the image including the character “20G” in this example) is executed.

  Thereafter, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R658 (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT1 state using the effect image display device 157. Since the AT1 effect corresponding to the AT1 state is executed and the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT1 state is 19, the image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 19G”).

  In this example, after the second advantageous game state (AT2 state in this example) ends, it is configured to be able to shift to the fourth advantageous game state (judge state or pullback state in this example). After the third advantageous game state (in this example, the LMT state) is completed, the state is shifted to the normal state (in this example, the low navigation state), and the effect in the second advantageous game state (in this example) Then, the mode of the AT2 effect) is different from the mode of the effect (the ED effect in this example) in the third advantageous game state, and the operation information is changed from the fourth advantageous game state (the judge state or the pullback state). When the game state shifts to the game state in which the game state can be notified, the game state shifts to the second advantageous game state (AT2 state), and from the state after the third advantageous game state (LMT state) ends. Transition to a game state that can notify operation information Case, (in this example, AT1 state) first advantageous gaming state is configured to shift to.

  According to this example, since the advantageous game state that can be expected can be easily understood, it is possible to make the player play the game with a sense of expectation. In addition, expectations can be given even after the end of the advantageous gaming state that can be expected.

  Further, in this example, when shifting from the LMT state to the low navigation state, shifting to the high navigation state again, and shifting to the AT state in the high navigation state, the AT1 state is more disadvantageous to the player than the AT2 state. It is configured to migrate.

<Notification at the time of winning combination in AT2 state>
FIG. 94 (a) is a diagram illustrating an example of notification when a winning combination is established in the AT2 state.

  The game R328 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 328 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 2. In the game R328, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” is displayed) indicating a stop operation of the pushing sequence is executed, and the remaining number of games in the AT2 state is executed. Since the (count value of the effect state counter) is 2, a display including an image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, an image including characters of “LAST 2G”) is displayed. Running.

  The following game R327 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 327, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is increased from 1 to 51. In the game R327, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed, and a non-specifiable display g2 (in this example, “!-!-!” Is displayed in which the internally won combination (eg, the watermelon of the small combination 3) cannot be identified. ), And since the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state before the addition is 1, a display including an image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) (this example) In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 1G” is executed.

  In the game R327, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect image is overlap-displayed in the non-specificable display, and then the number of games added to the AT is added. (In this example, the character “+ 50G” is displayed), and the number of remaining games (count value of the production state counter) in the AT2 state has increased from 1 to 51 due to the addition of AT. A display including an image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) (display of an image including characters of “LAST 51G” in this example) is executed.

  Note that the display mode of the unspecified display is not limited to this example. For example, the internal winning of the first role or the second role of the same type is displayed as the first unspecified display (for example, “!-!-!”). Display), and the internal election of the same second role or third role is performed by the second non-specifiable display (for example, “?-?-?” Display). You may comprise so that an internal winning may not be specified. In addition, the internal winning of the different first role or fourth role is performed in the first unspecified display (for example, "!-!-!" Display), and the same second role or third role is displayed. May be configured such that the internal winning of any combination cannot be specified by performing the internal winning of the second in the non-specification display (for example, the display of “?-?-?”).

<Notification at the time of winning combination in LMT state>
FIG. 94 (b) is a diagram illustrating an example of notification when a winning combination is established in the LMT state.

  The game R50 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 50 and the number of remaining games in the LMT state is 1. In the game R50, when the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the LMT state using the effect image display device 157. , An ED effect (ending effect) corresponding to the LMT state, and an operation navigation (in this example, “2-1-3” having the same display mode as the operation navigation in the AT2 state) indicating a stop operation of the pushing sequence. Is displayed), the total number of games in the LMT state is 20, and the number of remaining games in the LMT state (count value of the effect state counter) is 2. Therefore, the total number of games in the LMT state and the number of games in the LMT state Display including an image indicating the remaining number of games (count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, display of an image including the characters “remaining 2/20”) Running.

  Further, in the game R50, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, a certain time has elapsed since the press operation of the start lever 135 was received), the effect image display device 157 is used. In addition to executing the identifiable display g1 (in this example, displaying a watermelon symbol) capable of specifying the internally won combination (for example, the watermelon of the small combination 3), the number of remaining games in the LMT state (production state counter) Is displayed, the display including the image indicating the number of games (the count value of the effect state counter) (in this example, the display including the character of “1/20”) is executed. ing.

  Further, in the game R327, the identifiable display is deleted when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received). Note that, in this example, unlike the notification at the time of the formation of the combination in the AT2 state described with reference to FIG. 94 (a), it indicates that there is no AT addition (restricted).

  In this example, after the second advantageous game state (AT2 state in this example) ends, it is configured to be able to shift to the fourth advantageous game state (judge state or pullback state in this example). After the third advantageous game state (in this example, the LMT state) is completed, the state is shifted to the normal state (in this example, the low navigation state), and the effect in the second advantageous game state (in this example) In this case, the mode of the AT2 production) is different from the production of the third advantageous gaming state (ED production in this example), and the lottery result is the first in the third advantageous gaming state (LMT state). In the case of the role (in this example, the small role 2 (watermelon 1)), the first notification (in this example, the display of the watermelon symbol) capable of specifying the first role can be reported. In the second advantageous game state (AT2 state), the lottery result is the first position. Case, (in this example, "! -! -!" Display) a second notification indicating that the chances are informed configured to be able to.

  According to this example, since the advantageous game state that can be expected can be easily understood, it is possible to make the player play the game with a sense of expectation. In addition, in the advantageous game state that can be expected, the player is allowed to play the game with a sense of expectation, and in the advantageous game state in the restricted state, the player is prevented from being missed and the comfortable state is finished without fanning the player. Can be done.

  The display mode of the identifiable display is not limited to this example. For example, characters indicating the name of a role (for example, characters “Rep” indicating a replay, characters “watermelon” indicating a small combination 3) ) May be displayed, or some or all of the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination may be displayed. In addition, the display area, display position, display size, display timing, presentation style after display, and the like of each display may be different between the non-specifiable display and the specifiable display.

<Specific example of correction of AT2 initial number>
Next, a specific example of the correction of the AT2 initial number of times described with reference to FIGS. 88 to 90 will be described.

<Specific Example of Correction of AT2 Initial Number / When Correction is Performed>
FIG. 95 (a) is a diagram showing a flow of an effect when correcting the initial number of AT2.
The game R120 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 120 and the number of remaining games in the judge state is 0. In the game R120, in the judge state process B described with reference to FIG. 89A, after performing the AT2 initial number lottery, it is determined that the correction condition is satisfied in the correction condition determination, and the AT2 initial number is corrected. ing. Specifically, the value (X) of the high navigation state counter at the time of the correction condition determination is 120, the AT2 initial number (Y) selected in the AT2 initial number lottery is 30, and “X (= 120) −Y Since the correction condition of (= 30) <= 100 is satisfied, Y (= 30) + 20 = 50 is set as the AT2 correction value, and the LMT standby flag is set to ON.

  The game R119 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 119 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state after transition from the judge state is 50. In this game R119, in the AT2 state process A described with reference to FIG. 88 (a), the LMT standby flag is on, so that the AT number addition lottery 2 is performed. The watermelon 1) is internally won, and 0G is selected as the number of AT-added games.

  Further, in the game R119, until the certain condition is satisfied (in this example, until the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received (immediately after BET, etc.)), the effect state is determined to be the judge state using the effect image display device 157. , The AT2 effect corresponding to the start of the AT2 state is started, and the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state before the update is 50. The display including the image indicating the number (the count value of the effect state counter) (display of the image including the character “50G” in this example) is executed.

  After that, when a certain condition is satisfied in the game R119 (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect state is the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. Since the AT2 effect corresponding to the AT2 state is executed and the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state is 49, the image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 49G”).

  The game R69 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 69 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 0. In the game R69, in the AT2 state processing B described with reference to FIG. 90, since the AT2 state has ended and the LMT standby flag is on, preparation is made to shift the effect state from the AT2 state to the LMT state. ing. In the game R69, an AT2 effect is performed and the operation navigation is executed in the same manner as the games R119 to R70, while the display including an image indicating the remaining game number (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 0G”) is executed.

  Further, in the game R69, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the game is the final game in the AT2 state using the effect image display device 157. , An AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state is displayed, and the result display 1 (for example, the display of the number of game media obtained) in the AT2 state is executed, while the remaining game number in the AT2 state ( The display including the image indicating the effect state counter value (in this example, the display including the image of “LAST 0G”) and the display of the operation navigation are deleted. In the present example, the result display 1 may not be displayed, or the result display 1 may be performed only when the correction of the AT2 initial number is not performed.

  In this example, since the AT2 initial number is corrected, the AT2 state and the LMT state can be transitioned seamlessly (without passing through another effect state).

<Specific Example of Correction of AT2 Initial Number / When Displaying Number of Remaining Games in AT2 State>
FIG. 95 (b) is a diagram showing a flow of the effect in the case where the number of remaining games is displayed in the AT2 state.
The game R328 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 328, and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 52. In this game R328, the AT number addition lottery 1 is performed in the AT2 state process A described with reference to FIG. 88 (a) because the LMT standby flag is off. The watermelon 1) is internally won, and 50G is selected as the number of AT-added games.

  In the game R328, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect image display device 157 is used to execute the AT2 effect and perform the operation. While performing the navigation, the display including the image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state (display of the image including the characters “LAST 52G” in this example) is not performed. As a fake display (glance display), a display (in this example, “LAST 2G”) including an image indicating the number of remaining games (2 in this example) before adding the number of games added to the AT (50 in this example) Display of an image including the character ").

  The following game R327 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 327 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 51. In this game R327, an AT2 effect is executed using the effect image display device 157 in the same manner as in the game R328, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received). While performing the operation navigation, display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state (display of an image including the characters “LAST 51G” in this example) is performed. Instead, a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (1 in this example) before adding the number of AT-added games (50 in this example) as a fake display (gase display) (in this example, Display of an image including the characters “LAST 1G”).

  Further, in the game R327, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, a certain time has elapsed from the pressing operation of the start lever 135), a display suggesting the addition to the AT (in this example, " (Display of characters "will continue more"), and then, when another certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), a display (notifying the number of AT-added games) is displayed. In this example, a display of characters “+ 50G” is performed, and a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the true (true) AT2 state (in this example, “LAST 51G”). Display of an image including the character ").

<Specific Example of Correction of AT2 Initial Number / When Displaying Result at AT2 State Transition>
FIG. 96 (a) is a diagram showing a flow of the effect when displaying the result after the transition to the AT2 state.
The game R326 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 326 and the number of remaining games in the AT2 state is 0. In the game R326, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted), the effect image display device 157 is used to trigger the AT2 in the same manner as the games R328 to R327. While performing the effect and performing the operation navigation, a display including an image indicating the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the AT2 state (display of an image including the characters “LAST 0G” in this example) Running).

  Further, in the game R326, when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, the third stop operation is received), the effect image display device 157 is used as the final game in the AT2 state. While the display of the AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state is executed, the execution of the result display 1 (for example, the display of the acquired number of game media) in the AT2 state is not executed.

  The following game R325 is a game in which the number of remaining games in the high navigation state is 325 and the number of remaining games in the judge state shifted from the AT2 state is nine. In the game R325, the result display 1 in the AT2 state is performed using the effect image display device 157 until a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, until a pressing operation of the start lever 135 is accepted (immediately after BET, etc.)). For example, display of the acquired number of game media) is executed, and when a certain condition is satisfied (in this example, a pressing operation of the start lever 135 is received), the effect image display device 157 is used to Since the judge effect corresponding to the start of the judge state is started and the number of remaining games (count value of the effect state counter) in the judge state is 9, an image indicating the number of games (count value of the effect state counter) is displayed. (In this example, display of an image including the characters “LAST 9G”).

<Specific Example of Correction of AT2 Initial Number / If Result Display is not Performed After AT2 State>
FIG. 96 (b) is a diagram showing a flow of the effect when the result display is not performed after the end of the AT2 state, and is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 95 (a).
In the effect described with reference to FIG. 95 (a), in the game R69, the effect image display device 157 is used to display the AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state since the final game in the AT2 state. The example in which the result display 1 (for example, the display of the number of game media obtained) in the AT2 state is executed has been described, but in this example, the AT2 end effect screen corresponding to the end of the AT2 state in the same game R69. Is displayed, and the result display 1 (for example, the display of the number of acquired game media) in the AT2 state is not executed.

  According to the present example, the transition from the AT2 state to the LMT state can be performed seamlessly (without passing through another effect state) from the AT2 state to the LMT state, and the result display in the AT2 state is not performed at the time of the transition. It is possible to give a comprehensive impression of the effect in the high navigation state without making the player more conscious of the transition of the game than necessary.

  As described above, the game console (for example, the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1) according to the present invention (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “the present invention 2-1”) operates the operating means (for example, shown in FIG. 1). (The stop buttons 137 to 139), and shifts to one of a normal state (for example, a low navigation state shown in FIG. 6B) and an advantageous state (for example, a high navigation state shown in FIG. 6B).
