<Symbol array>
Next, with reference to FIG. 4, a symbol arrangement applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an array of symbols applied to each of the reels (the left reel 110, the middle reel 111, and the right reel 112) in a flatly developed manner.

  On each of the reels 110 to 112, a plurality of symbols (10 types in the present embodiment) shown on the right side of the figure are arranged by a predetermined number of frames (20 frames of numbers 0 to 19 in the present embodiment). Also, numbers 0 to 19 shown on the left end of the drawing are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of the symbols on the reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, the number 1 frame of the left reel 110 is “watermelon design”, the number 9 frame of the middle reel 111 is “bell design”, and the number 5 frame of the right reel 112 is “seven 1”. Symbol "is arranged.

  The slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment stops the corresponding reels 110 to 112 within the maximum pull-in range (less than 5 frames in the present embodiment) from the position where the stop operation is performed in order to enhance the interest of the game. It is configured.

<Type of winning combinations>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows the types of winning combinations (including operating combinations), the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the payout (number of awards) of each winning combination.

  The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include special combinations 1-2, re-gaming combinations 1-3, and small combinations 1-6. 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 (operating combination) that shifts to a special game state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a BB1 operating state) in which a predetermined profit is given to the player by winning. is there. However, in the BB1 operating state, only 48 medals are awarded. The special combination 1 is a combination that is won only when three medals are inserted in a normal game state described later (see the remarks column in FIG. 5A).

  The special combination 2 is also a combination (operation combination) that shifts to a special game state (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a BB2 operation state) in which a predetermined profit is given to the player by winning. However, in the BB2 operating state, only two medals are given. The special combination 2 is a combination that is won only when two medals are inserted in the normal gaming state (see the remarks column in FIG. 5A).

  Further, the re-gaming combinations 1 to 3 are combinations that enable re-gaming without inserting new medals. These special combinations 1 and 2 and replay combinations 1 to 3 may be called “operating combinations”. 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. 2. Includes winning of re-gaming combinations 1-3. Note that the special roles 1 and 2 are special roles that are carried over to the next game when the winning is not determined, and the other roles are not carried over to the next game when the winning is not determined. It is a role.

  The special roles 1 and 2 do not pay out medals for winning the role. The corresponding symbol combinations are "BAR1-BAR1-bell" for special combination 1 and "BAR1-BAR2-bell" for special combination 2. In the following description, the special combination 1 may be referred to as “BB1” and the special combination 2 may be referred to as “BB2”, and the special combination 1 and the special combination 2 may be collectively referred to as “special combination” or “BB”. is there.

  When the special combinations 1 and 2 are internally won, the internal winning flags corresponding to each of the special combinations that have been internally won are set to ON (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When the flag corresponding to the special combination 1 is set to ON, the main control unit 300 shifts the state of the game to the special combination 1 internal winning state. When the flag corresponding to the special combination 2 is set to ON, the main control unit 300 shifts the state of the game to the special combination 2 internal winning state. These flags are kept on until the corresponding winning combination is won, so that the winning combinations can be easily won in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, even if a player does not win any of the winnings in a game that has been internally won for special roles 1 and 2, it will be in the same state as the status of internally winning the special roles 1 and 2 in the next and subsequent games, and the corresponding symbol combination Will be ready to win.

  The special role 1 internal winning state and the special role 2 internal winning state will be described in detail later. However, in the special role 2 internal winning state, if another role other than the special role 2 is internally won, the other roles are performed. Is stopped so that the symbols constituting the symbols are arranged preferentially.

  The re-gaming combinations 1 to 3 are winning combinations (operating combinations) capable of performing a game without inserting medals (game media) in the next game by winning, and medals are not paid out. That is, the game can be executed again with the same number of bets as the previously inserted number. In the corresponding symbol combination, the re-game combination 1 is “Replay 1 or 2-Replay 1 or 2-Replay 1 or 2”, the re-game combination 2 is “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1”, Role 3 is “Seven 2-Seven 2-Seven 2”. Of the replays, the replays 1 may be referred to as “normal replays”, the replays 2 may be referred to as “seven ones replays”, and the replays 3 may be referred to as a “sevens two replays”. Further, when the player wins the replaying game 2, the game shifts to the pseudo bonus 1 state described later, and when the player wins the replaying game 3, the game shifts to the pseudo bonus 2 state described later (see the remarks column in FIG. 5A). The symbol combination of the re-game combination 2 is a pseudo BB1 transition symbol, and the symbol combination of the re-game combination 3 is a pseudo BB2 transition symbol. In the pseudo bonus 1 state, 20 games continue, whereas in the pseudo bonus 2 state, only 15 games continue.

  The re-playing combinations 1 to 3 may be any combination that enables the player to play the next game without inserting medals. Therefore, for example, when a prize is won in the replay, the insertion of medals may be automatically inserted in the next game (the number of inserted medals is reset in the medal insertion number storage area prepared in the RAM 308). The medals inserted in the winning game may be carried over to the next game and used as they are.

  The small winning combinations 1 to 6 are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning. The corresponding symbol combination is that the small part 1 is “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon”, the small part 2 is “BAR2-cherry-replay1 or 2”, and the small combination 3 is “cherry-ANY-ANY”. , Small part 4 is “BAR 1-replay 1 or 2-replay 1 or 2”, small part 5 is “bell-bell-bell”, and small part 6 is “bell-bell-replay 1 or 2”. is there. Note that “ANY” indicates that any symbol may be used. For example, in the case of “Cherry-ANY-ANY”, the symbol of the left reel 110 may be “Cherry”, and the middle reel 111 and the right reel The symbol 112 may be any symbol. The corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG.

  Of the above small roles, small role 1 is "watermelon", small role 2 is "low cherry", small role 3 is "strong cherry", small role 4 is "chance eyes", and small role 5 is "push order bell". , The small role 6 may be referred to as “one bell”. Strong cherries are more likely to get benefits than weak cherries, and are also more likely to get benefits. The pressing order bell is a role that does not win if the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is not correct when the internal winning is performed, and a role that always wins regardless of the operation timing if the operation order is correct. The single bell is a winning combination when the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is mistaken.

<Type of internal winning role>
Next, the types of internal winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a diagram showing a lottery table of the internal winning combination in the special winning 2 internal winning state together with the type of the internal winning combination.

  FIG. 5B shows eleven types of condition devices (condition device numbers 1 to 11) in which the combinations described in FIG. 5A are combined. The winning combination in the game is one of the combinations corresponding to the condition device. These condition devices are determined by lottery at the time of a game start operation. At this time, the role corresponding to the condition device is referred to as an internal winning combination. That is, the internal winning combination is determined by the lottery at the time of the start operation of the game. In the following description of this operation, there is a case where it is called that the role is internally won.

  As will be described later, the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a gaming table in which the period of playing in the special winning 2 internal winning state (RT2) tends to be the longest. FIG. 5B shows a lottery table of each internal winning combination in the special winning 2 internal winning state (RT2).

  Condition device number 1 is a condition device configured by a replaying combination. As described above, in the present embodiment, there are re-games from re-games 1 to re-games 3, and if a pseudo BB1 schedule flag described later is set to ON, the symbol combination of the re-games 2 can be stopped. That is, if the pseudo BB2 schedule flag described later is set to ON, the symbol combination of the replaying combination 3 can be stopped. If none of these pseudo BB schedule flags is set to ON, the symbol combination of the replaying combination 1 can be stopped.

  The condition device numbers 2 to 11 are internal winning combinations constituted by small winning combinations. Of these, the condition device numbers 6 to 11 are internally won for the small win 5 and the small win 6, and six types of A to F are prepared. The small role 5 is a pressing order bell, and the combination of the operation order (pressing order) of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is “left, right, middle”, “left, middle, right”, “right, left, middle”. , "Right, middle, left", "middle, left, right", "middle, right, left". The six types A to F correspond to these six patterns, and the condition devices of the condition device numbers 6 to 11 have different correct answers in the pushing order. If the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is correct, the symbol combination of the small combination 5 stops. On the other hand, when the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is mistaken, the symbol combination of the small combination 6 stops.

  In any of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 6 to 11, if the operation order of the first stop and the second stop of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is not mistaken, the pressing order determined by the condition device is correct, Eleven medals are paid out (see the remarks column in FIG. 5B). On the other hand, if the first stop of the stop buttons 137 to 139 was not mistaken, but the second stop was mistaken, the answer would be incorrect, the symbol combination of the small role 6 was stopped, and only one medal was paid out. Not performed (see the remarks column in FIG. 5B). Further, when the stop buttons 137 to 139 are mistaken from the first stop, it is determined whether or not one medal is paid out according to the symbol stopped and displayed in the third stop. In other words, if a mistake is made from the first stop and one bell (small role 6) “Bell-Bell-Replay 1 or 2” is pulled in, the replay 1 or 2 is stopped at the third stop. If the stop button is pressed at a position where the player can withdraw, one medal will be awarded to one bell (small role 6) and one medal will be paid out. It becomes a symbol combination, and no medal is paid out.

  In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, different setting values are set for different degrees of advantage of the player. As setting values, setting 1 to setting 6 are prepared. The higher the set value, the higher the player's advantage tends to be.

  In the internal winning combination lottery table shown in FIG. 5B, a value obtained by dividing the displayed numerical value by 65536 is the internal winning probability. The internal winning probability is determined for each set value. However, in the special winning 2 internal winning state (RT2), there is no large difference between the setting values, and only the internal winning probability of the small winning device 3 of the condition device 4 in the setting 6 is obtained. Is one higher. In another game state (for example, a normal state or a special game state), the higher the set value of the internal winning probability, the higher the advantage of the player may be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the internal winning probabilities of the condition devices of the condition device numbers 6 to 11 are equal, but the internal winning probabilities may be biased.

  If the player does not win the role of each condition device, the player loses and the symbol combination corresponding to the role is not displayed. In addition, the fact that the symbol combination relating 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 any role of any of the condition devices may be expressed as "was lost".

  As described above, in the special win 2 internal winning state, when the other wins other than the special win 2 are internally won, the reel stop control is performed so that the symbols constituting the other wins are preferentially arranged. Is executed. For this reason, in order to shift from the special combination 2 internal winning state to the special game state BB2 operation state, it is necessary to insert two medals, internally lose, and then win the special combination 2.

<Type of game state>
Next, the types of gaming states of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 and transitions of the gaming states will be described. FIG. 6A is a transition diagram of a gaming state of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG.

  In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the gaming state includes a normal gaming state, a special winning 1 internal winning gaming state, a special winning 2 internal winning gaming state, and a BB1 operating gaming state. , And five game states in which the player's advantage is different, such as a game state during BB2 operation, can be switched, and by shifting these states, the advantage is changed and the interest of the game is improved. In this specification, the special winning 1 internal winning game state is simply referred to as a special winning 1 internal winning state, the special winning 2 internal winning playing state is simply called the special winning 2 internal winning state, and BB1 is operating. The gaming state is simply referred to as a BB1 operating state, and the BB2 operating state is simply referred to as a BB2 operating state. In addition, in the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, apart from the above-mentioned gaming state, five states of RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, and RT4 are provided as states in which the types and probabilities of the internally won re-gaming are different. However, the game state and the RT have a one-to-one relationship. That is, it is RT0 in the normal gaming state, RT1 in the special combination 1 internal winning state, RT2 in the special combination 2 internal winning state, RT3 in the BB1 operating state, and RT4 in the BB2 operating state. The gaming state is controlled by the main controller 300. Note that RT1 and RT2 are more likely to be internally won as replays than RT0. In addition, RT1 is more likely to be internally won as a replaying game than RT3, and RT2 is more easily internally shot as a replaying game than RT4. In addition, the internal winning probabilities of the replaying players RT1 and RT2 may be the same or different, and the internal winning probabilities of the replaying players RT3 and RT4 may be the same or different. You may.

  In the normal gaming state, the internal winning probability of the re-gaming combination is the lowest, which is the most disadvantageous state for the player. This is also the initial state in the present embodiment.

  The special role internal winning state is a state in which the internal winning flag corresponding to the special role is set to ON. In this gaming state, it is easy to shift to the special gaming state, which is more advantageous than the normal gaming state. However, as described above, in the special role 2 internal winning state (RT2), if another role other than the special role 2 is internally won, the symbols constituting the other roles are arranged preferentially. Since the reel stop control is executed, it is not possible to shift to the special game state.

  The special game state is an advantageous game state in which it is easier to win a small role than in the normal game state and the special role internal winning state, and the medal can be easily obtained. However, as described above, only 48 medals are awarded in the BB1 operating state, and only two medals are awarded in the BB2 operating state.

  FIG. 6A shows the gaming state described above, and the symbols (A) to (F) attached to the arrows are transition conditions between the gaming states. When each transition condition is satisfied, the game state transitions in the direction of the arrow. The transition from the normal gaming state (RT0) shown by the arrow (A) to the special role 1 internal winning state (RT1) is performed by internally winning the special role 1, and the normal gaming state shown by the arrow (D). The transition from (RT0) to the special role 2 internal winning state (RT2) is performed by internally winning the special role 2. In the normal gaming state (RT0), the internal winning probability of the special role 2 is higher than the internal winning probability of the special role 1, and the internal winning probability of the special role 2 is a considerably high probability. 100 is a gaming table where the period of playing in the special winning 2 internal winning state (RT2) tends to be the longest. The transition from the special combination 1 internal winning state (RT1) to the BB1 operating state (RT3) indicated by the arrow (B) is performed by winning the special combination 1. As described above, in order to win the special combination 1, it is necessary to perform three copies. The transition from the special combination 2 internal winning state (RT2) to the BB2 operating state (RT4) indicated by the arrow (E) is performed by winning the special combination 2. As described above, in order to win the special role 2, it is necessary to win the special role 2 after losing two cards and internally winning. The transition from the BB1 operating state (RT3) to the normal gaming state (RT0) indicated by the arrow (C) is performed by paying out 48 medals as the specified number. The transition from the BB2 operating state (RT4) to the normal gaming state (RT0) indicated by the arrow (F) is performed by paying out two medals as the specified number.

<Types of production state>
Next, the types of effect states of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 and the transition of the effect states will be described. As described above, the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a gaming table in which the period of playing in the special role 2 internal winning state tends to be the longest, and the transition of the effect state in the special role 2 internal winning state will be described. The transition of the effect state in other game states is the same as the transition described here. FIG. 6B is a transition diagram of an effect state in the special winning 2 internal winning state of the slot machine 100 shown in FIG.

  In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 6B, the non-AT state, the battle precursor state, the battle state, the pseudo BB state, the AT (assist time) state, and the CZ (chance zone) ) The state can be switched between a total of six effect states. FIG. 6B shows these effect states, and the symbols (a) to (i) attached to the arrows are transition conditions between the effect states. When each transition condition is satisfied, the effect state transits in the direction of the arrow.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display screen displayed on the effect image display device 157 in each effect state.

  The non-AT state is a normal effect state and also an initial state in the effect state. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7 (a), an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and the elderly grandfather are in the palace in the castle is displayed. Further, a character display area 1571 is provided on the left side of the display screen, and an effect information display area 1572 is provided therebelow. In FIG. 7A, one face image tp of the character of the lord is displayed in the character display area 1571. The main character is a default character that is always displayed while the character display area 1571 is displayed. In the effect information display area 1572, a point number display PN and a lap number display LN are displayed. In FIG. 7A, the point number display PN is the initial value of 000 points, and the lap number display LN is also the initial value of the 0th lap. The point number display PN indicating the initial value may be "---" instead of "000" or may not be displayed. Also, the number-of-laps display LN indicating the initial value may be “−” instead of “0”, or may not be displayed. The display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7A is a display screen before the point is increased, and is a display screen after setting change, which will be described in detail later, and a display screen after power failure and power recovery. This is also a display screen after the end of the CZ state when the state does not shift to the pseudo BB state or the AT state. The point number display PN representing the initial value is displayed on the display screen after the setting change, the display screen after the power failure and the power recovery, and the display screen after the end of the CZ state when the pseudo BB state and the AT state are not shifted. Each of them may be the same or different. For example, the display screen after setting change and the display screen after power failure and power recovery are not shifted to "----", pseudo BB state or AT state. The display screen after the end of the CZ state in this case may be “000”.

  An animation corresponding to the non-AT state is also displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7 (a ′), the point number display PN is 001 points, and the number of laps display LN is the first lap. is there. The display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7 (a ') is the display screen after the points are increased.

  The RAM 308 of the main controller 300 is provided with a first P counter for counting effects. The “effect” here may be a privilege, and more specifically, an effect point. The count value of the first P counter is displayed on the point number display PN. However, a value different from the count value of the first P counter may be displayed on the point number display PN. Although the point number display PN is a numerical display, it is a bar display in which the bar expands and contracts, a display in which the color changes, and a display in which the number of displays of the symbols and the like change according to the count value of the first P counter. You may. Alternatively, the point number display PN may be a display indicating the count value by size, a display indicating the count value by shape, or a display indicating the count value by shading. In addition, a display indicating the quantity of the point number display PN may be displayed separately from the point number display PN, or a display in which an icon such as a character moves according to an increase in points may be performed. An icon of a character or the like may be displayed at a point, and an event or an effect may be generated when the icon of the character or the like moves and reaches according to the increase of the point. Characters corresponding to a plurality of specific points as targets may be generated. May be displayed.

  The transition from the non-AT state to the confrontation state indicated by the arrow (a) is performed when the count value of the first P counter reaches the true confrontation point number, or when the predetermined game number (ceiling game number) is reached. There are a case where the game is performed by completing the 499 game and a case where the game is performed by winning an AT lottery corresponding to the combination. The number of true confrontation points is a value set by lottery together with the number of fake confrontation points described later. If the number of true confrontation points is smaller than the number of fake confrontation points, the count value of the first P counter becomes a false confrontation. You will reach the number of true confrontation points before you reach the point number. When the number of true confrontation points has been reached, it is not known whether the state can shift to the pseudo BB state or the AT state. However, if the player has won the AT lottery, the state always shifts to the AT state. In addition, when the number of ceiling games is exhausted, the state always shifts to the pseudo BB1 state.

  On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7B, an animation of the lord holding a sword corresponding to the precursor sign state is displayed. In addition, in the upper right of the display screen, a character display of “showdown sign effect” indicating that the effect is in the sign precursor state is made. In the sign-ahead state, both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 thereunder are not displayed. Accordingly, none of the face image, the point number display PN, and the number-of-laps display LN of the main character, the default character, are hidden.

  The transition from the battle precursor state to the battle state, which is indicated by the arrow (b), is performed when a predetermined number of games are exhausted by lottery between the two games and the 32 games.

  The transition from the non-AT state to the confrontation state, as indicated by the arrow (f), is performed when the count value of the first P counter reaches the number of false confrontation points. If the number of false match points is smaller than the number of true match points, the count value of the first P counter reaches the number of false match points before reaching the number of true match points.

  On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIGS. 7C and 7C, a confrontation scene of a confrontation animation in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other is displayed, corresponding to the confrontation state. I have. Further, at the upper right of the display screen, a character display of “showdown effect” indicating that the effect is in a showdown state is made. In the confrontation state, the count value of the first P counter reaches the number of true confrontation points, the true confrontation state started via the precursor sign state, and the count value of the first P counter reaches the number of false confrontation points, There is a false confrontation state that is started without going through the confrontation state. FIG. 7C shows a start screen of an effect in a true confrontation state (true confrontation effect). In this start screen, the character display area 1571, The effect information display area 1572 thereunder is not displayed. On the other hand, FIG. 7 (c ′) is a start screen of an effect in the false confrontation state (fake confrontation effect). In this start screen, the character display area 1571 is not displayed, but the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Here, it is displayed that the point number display PN is 056 points and the number-of-laps display LN is the first round. The player can distinguish between a true confrontation effect and a fake confrontation effect depending on whether or not a confrontation effect has been displayed, but if the player overlooks whether or not a confrontation effect has been displayed, the confrontation It is not possible to distinguish between a true confrontation production and a false confrontation production only by animation in the production. However, both can be distinguished by the presence or absence of the display of the effect information display area 1572. Further, on the start screen in the true confrontation effect, the effect information display area 1572 is hidden, so that attention is focused on the confrontation scene of the confrontation animation, and the confrontation scene is more easily seen. The character display area 1571 may be displayed on the start screen of the fake contest. Further, if it is only for distinguishing between a true confrontation effect and a false confrontation effect, the type of animation may be different between the true confrontation effect and the fake confrontation effect, and the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 The presence or absence of the display may be unified.

  It should be noted that the number of ceiling games, the number of true confrontation points, or the number of fake confrontation points may be reached in a battle sign or confrontation state, and will be described in detail later. If they lose, the confrontation will start again.

  The transition from the confrontation state to the pseudo BB state indicated by the arrow (c) is performed after the predetermined number of games has been exhausted by lottery between the two games and the four games, and then the replaying game shown in FIG. This is performed when the symbol combination of No. 2 or the symbol combination of the replay combination 3 is stopped and displayed.

  The transition from the confrontation state to the AT state, which is indicated by the arrow (d), is predetermined by a lottery when the player has won the AT direct hit lottery or between two games and four games when the player has already won the AT lottery. This is performed when the number of played games is exhausted. Note that the state in which the player has already won the AT lottery means a state in which the player has won the AT lottery according to the role, which triggered the transition from the non-AT state to the battle sign state. In the AT state, an operation condition notification effect indicating the operation order of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is executed in accordance with the internally won combination, so as to bring advantageous results to the player. Specifically, when an internal winning is achieved for the AT combination (condition device numbers 6 to 11 in FIG. 5B), the operation order of each correct answer is notified. Further, when the AT state is set, the number of games (the number of AT games (the number of navigations)) in which the operation condition notification effect is performed may be added by lottery.

  The effect image display device 157 illustrated in FIG. 7D and the effect image display device 157 illustrated in FIG. 7D are also effect image display devices 157 in the confrontation state, and the effect image display device illustrated in FIG. On the display screen 157, a scene where the lord has won is displayed as a win / loss scene following the confrontation scene. The scene in which this lord has won may be displayed as the ending of the true confrontation effect (the ending scene of the confrontation animation). Also, in the case where an AT direct hit lottery is won during the fake contest, a scene where the lord has won may be displayed as a win / loss scene following the confrontation scene shown in FIG. 7 (c '). In the scene where the lord has won, the character display area 1571 is not displayed, but the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Here, the point number display PN is 056 points and the lap number display LN is the first lap. Is displayed. When shifting from the confrontation state to the pseudo BB state or the AT state, the scene where the lord has won is displayed in the effect information display area 1572, and the pseudo BB effect or the AT effect is started before the next game is started. Is done.

  On the other hand, on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7D ', a scene in which the Lord is defeated is displayed as a win-loss scene following the confrontation scene. The scene in which this palace is defeated may be displayed as the ending of a true confrontation effect, or may be displayed as the ending of a false confrontation effect. In the scene where the lord is defeated, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed.

  The transition from the confrontation state to the non-AT state, as indicated by the arrow (e), is performed after the scene where the lord has been defeated is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. That is, when the number of true contest points has been reached and the non-AT state is shifted to the true confrontation state via the confrontation sign state, a false BB lottery described later is lost, and a predetermined lottery is performed between two games and four games. If the player does not win the direct hit lottery while exhausting the number of games played, a scene in which the lord is defeated is displayed, and the state shifts to the non-AT state.

  The transition from the non-AT state to the AT state, which is indicated by another arrow (d), is performed when an AT direct hit lottery is won.

  On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7E, an animation in which the lord is raised is displayed, corresponding to the pseudo BB state. Further, the number of medals obtained in the pseudo BB state is displayed at the lower right of the display screen. However, in the pseudo BB state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. In the pseudo BB state, the operation condition notification effect is executed as in the AT state. However, unlike the AT state, the number of AT games (the number of navigations) is not added. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7E, the operation order of “2 3 1” is notified, the first stop is performed by the right stop button 139, and the second stop is performed by the left stop button 137. Performing the third stop with the middle stop button 138 is the correct operation sequence.

  On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7 (f), an animation corresponding to the AT state, in which the lord is watching the cherry blossoms with the castle in the background, is displayed. In addition, the lower right of the display screen displays the cumulative number of medals obtained since the start of the AT state, and the lower left shows the total number of AT games that have been consumed (total 5G (game)) and the remaining AT games. The number (5G remaining) is displayed. However, even in the AT state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Also, on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7F, an operation condition notification effect is executed, an operation order of “1 32” is displayed, and the first stop is performed by the left stop button 137. Performing the second stop with the right stop button 139 and the third stop with the middle stop button 138 are the correct operation order.

  The transition from the pseudo BB state to the CZ state, as indicated by the arrow (g), is performed by completing 20 games in the pseudo bonus 1 state and by performing 15 games in the pseudo bonus 2 state. That is, the pseudo bonus 1 state is limited to 20 games, and the pseudo bonus 2 state is limited to 15 games. The pseudo bonus 1 state is more advantageous for the player because of the greater number of games than the pseudo bonus 2 state. The transition from the AT state to the CZ state indicated by the arrow (h) is performed by exhausting all the provided AT game numbers (navigation times). As described above, when the AT state is set, the number of AT games (the number of times of navigation) may be added, and may be longer than the 20 games in the pseudo bonus 1 state. In some cases, it may be said that the state is more advantageous for the player than the bonus 1 state.

  Note that the example in which the transition from the pseudo BB state to the CZ state is based on the number of digested games has been described. For example, the pseudo bonus 1 state may be maintained until 200 medals are paid out, and the pseudo bonus 1 state may be maintained until 150 medals are paid out. Furthermore, when either one of the number of digested games and the number of paid-out medals exceeds a condition value, a transition to the CZ state may be made.

  On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 7 (g), an animation of the lord running in the wilderness corresponding to the CZ state is displayed. In addition, at the lower right of the display screen, the number of remaining games until the transition to the non-AT state is displayed, but the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 are not displayed.

  The transition from the CZ state to the non-AT state, as indicated by the arrow (i), is performed when 32 games have been consumed in the CZ state. That is, the CZ state is limited to 32 games. During the 32 games, when the symbol combination of the replaying game 2 or the symbol combination of the replaying game 3 shown in FIG. 5 (a) is stopped and displayed, from the CZ state as shown by the upward arrow (c). The state returns to the pseudo BB state. Further, if the player wins the AT lottery corresponding to the number of games in the CZ state during the 32 games in which the CZ state is maintained, the state returns from the CZ state to the AT state as indicated by an upward arrow (d).

  In the transition diagram of the effect state shown in FIG. 6B, the transition from the non-AT state to the pseudo BB state is not set, but the pseudo BB direct hit lottery is executed every game, and the pseudo BB direct hit lottery is won. Then, when the pseudo BB symbol (the symbol of the replaying game 2 or the replaying game 3) is stopped and displayed, the transition from the non-AT state to the pseudo BB state may be performed. Further, the pseudo BB direct hit lottery may be executed only when the internal winning of the specific combination (for example, the chance) is achieved.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a transition pattern of the effect state in the special winning 2 internal winning state.

  In the pattern shown in FIG. 8A, first, a transition is made from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. The confrontation state is a fake confrontation state because it has not passed through the confrontation sign state. In this confrontation state, a scene in which the lord is defeated shown in FIG. 7D 'is displayed, and the state returns to the non-AT state.

  In the pattern shown in FIG. 8B, the state shifts from the non-AT state to the confrontation state via the confrontation sign state. The confrontation state is a true confrontation state since it has passed through the confrontation state. However, even in this confrontation state, a scene in which the lord is defeated shown in FIG. 7D 'is displayed, and the state returns to the non-AT state.

  Even in the pattern shown in FIG. 8C, the state transitions from the non-AT state to the confrontation state (true confrontation state) via the confrontation state. During this confrontation state, the pseudo BB symbol (the symbol of the replaying game 2 or the replaying game 3) is stopped and displayed, and after the scene in which the lord has won as shown in FIG. I do. Eventually, the state shifts from the pseudo BB state to the CZ state, and returns to the non-AT state without returning to the pseudo BB state and without shifting to the AT state.

  Also in the pattern shown in FIG. 8D, the game shifts from the non-AT state to the confrontation state (true confrontation state) via the confrontation state, and when a predetermined number of games out of two to four are consumed, FIG. The scene shown by (d) where the lord has won is displayed, and the state further shifts to the AT state. Eventually, the state shifts from the AT state to the CZ state, and returns to the non-AT state without returning to the AT state and without shifting to the pseudo BB state.

  In the pattern shown in FIG. 8E, the non-AT state transitions to the confrontation state (fake confrontation state) without passing through the confrontation state, but during this confrontation state, the player wins the AT direct hit lottery, The scene in which the lord has won as shown in FIG. 7D is displayed, and the state further shifts to the AT state. Eventually, the state shifts from the AT state to the CZ state, and returns to the non-AT state without returning to the AT state and without shifting to the pseudo BB state.

  In the pattern shown in FIG. 8F, the non-AT state transits to the confrontation state (true confrontation state) via the confrontation state. In this confrontation state, the scene in which the lord has won as shown in FIG. 7D is displayed, and the state shifts to the pseudo BB state. Eventually, the pseudo BB state is shifted to the CZ state, and the state is further shifted to the AT state by winning the AT lottery according to the number of games in the CZ state. Eventually, the number of AT games (the number of navigations) is exhausted, and the state shifts from the AT state to the CZ state again. In the second CZ state, the pseudo BB symbol (the symbol of the re-gaming combination 2 or the re-gaming combination 3) is stopped and displayed, and the state shifts to the pseudo BB state again. Eventually, the pseudo BB state is shifted to the third CZ state, and in the third CZ state, an AT lottery according to the number of games in the CZ state is won again, and the state is again shifted to the AT state. Eventually, the number of AT games (the number of navigations) is exhausted, and the state shifts from the AT state to the fourth CZ state. In the fourth CZ state, the state returns to the non-AT state without returning to the AT state and without shifting to the pseudo BB state. The slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 performs the pseudo BB state and the AT state a plurality of times as in the pattern shown in FIG. 8F, rather than acquiring medals in the BB1 operating state or the BB2 operating state. , Easy to get a lot of medals.

<Overview of processing>
Hereinafter, processing of the main control unit 300, the first sub control unit 400, and the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Main control unit main processing>
First, the main control unit main 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 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 that has received the start signal performs a reset start by a reset interrupt, and executes a main control unit main process shown in FIG. 9 according to a control program stored in the ROM 306 in advance.

  When the power is turned on, first, a setting change process is performed in step S10. Details of the setting change processing will be described later with reference to FIG. Subsequently, in step S11, various initial setting processes are performed. In this initial setting process, the CPU 304 sets a stack initial value to a stack pointer (SP), sets an interrupt prohibition, sets an I / O 310, sets various variables stored in the RAM 308, permits an operation to the WDT 314, Set initial values, etc.

  In step S12, a game start process is executed. In this process, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted (care or operation of the bet buttons 130 to 132). If a medal has been inserted, preparation for transmitting an insertion command indicating this is made. When a replay is won in the previous game, a 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. In addition, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated in a state where a predetermined number of medals (2 or 3 medals) have been used. If the start lever 135 has been operated, the number of inserted medals and an effective pay line are determined. Confirm and start the game.

  In step S13, various lottery processes including an internal winning combination lottery process and the like are executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S14, reel stop data corresponding to the first stop operation is prepared based on the result of the internal winning combination lottery. The reel stop data is stored in the ROM 306 of the main controller 300.

  In step S15, the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started on condition that the game interval timer (subtracted in a timer update process described later) is 0, and an initial value is set in the game interval timer. In addition, when the rotation of the reels 110 to 112 is started, preparation is made for transmitting a reel rotation start command to the first sub-control unit 400. Thereafter, when the reels 110 to 112 reach a predetermined rotation speed, detect the optical sensor provided on each reel, and grasp the symbol position of each reel, the stop operation on the stop buttons 137 to 139 is validated. In addition, the minimum time required for one game (4.1 s in this embodiment) is secured by the above-mentioned game interval counter, and gambling is suppressed.

  In step S16, a reel stop control process is performed. In this process, if any of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is pressed after the stop operation is validated, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped. Specifically, each time the stop operation is performed, the stop table of the reel stop data is referred to, and the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the stop operation are stopped according to the number of drawn frames set in the stop table. Also, reel stop data corresponding to the second stop operation is prepared for the first stop operation, and reel stop data corresponding to the third stop operation is prepared for the second stop operation. In addition, for each stop operation, preparations are made to transmit a corresponding command (first to third pressing commands) to the first sub-control unit 400, and each time the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, a corresponding command (first to third pressing commands) is stopped. Preparation for transmitting the first to third stop commands) to the first sub control unit 400 is performed. When all the reels 110 to 112 stop, the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, a winning determination process is performed. Here, when a symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. For example, if "Cherry-ANY-ANY" is aligned on the activated pay line, it is determined that the small role 3 has been won. After determining the winning combination, preparations are made to transmit a winning command to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S18, if any winning combination with a payout has been won, a number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is awarded (paid out), and the number of medals displayed is displayed using the payout number display 127.

  In step S19, a state update process is performed. Details of this state update processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, the process returns to step S12 and the above-described processing is repeated, whereby the game proceeds.

<Main controller 300 timer interrupt processing>
Next, a main control unit timer interrupt 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 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 S201, 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 S203, the WDT 314 is periodically (set) 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 (do not 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 S205, 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. Note that the state of the optical sensor is confirmed in this process.

  In step S207, various game processes are executed, and a process according to the interrupt status is executed.

  In step S209, a timer update process is performed. For example, a process of updating various timers in units of time, such as subtracting a game interval timer, is executed.

  In step S211, a command setting transmission process is performed, and various commands prepared for transmission by the main process of the main control unit 300 or the timer interrupt process are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in the present embodiment, and bit 15 is strobe information (when ON, it indicates that data is set), bit 11 14 to 14 are command types (in this embodiment, basic commands, input commands, start lever accepting commands, internal winning commands, effect commands associated with effect lottery processing, reel rotation start commands associated with the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, stop commands) First to third pressing commands accompanying the reception of operations of the buttons 137 to 139, first to third stop commands for stopping the reels 110 to 112, winning commands, payout number commands and payout end commands for medal payout processing, Status update command), bits 0 to 10 are command data (predetermined corresponding to the command type) It is composed of information).

  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 S213, an external signal setting process is performed. In the external 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 S215, a device monitoring process is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, in step S205, 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 S217, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. If a low voltage signal has been received (power interruption has been detected), the process proceeds to step S221. If a low voltage signal has not been received (power interruption has not been detected), the process proceeds to step S219. move on.

  In step S219, a timer interrupt end process is performed. In this timer interrupt end processing, processing such as setting the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 to each original register is performed. Thereafter, the process returns to the main control unit main process shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S221, information (main control information and game information) that needs to be saved, such as a specific variable and a stack pointer, for returning to the state at the time of power failure when the power is restored, is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308. A checksum value for a predetermined area including at least the used area of the RAM 308 is derived and stored in the RAM 308, and a power flag indicating that the power interruption processing has been performed is set to ON. The game information includes count values of various counters (for example, a first P counter) provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of a setting change process in the main control unit main process.

  In the setting change process (Step S10), Step S101 for determining whether the setting change condition is satisfied is executed. In the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, when the front door 102 is opened, a setting change switch (not shown) can be operated. The setting change switch is a switch for changing the setting relating to the player's advantage such as the winning determination probability in six stages from setting 1 to setting 6. The setting change condition referred to here is a condition including at least that the setting change switch is operated and the setting value that has been set so far is changed to a new setting value. In addition to this, the start lever 135 is not operated. It may include that a specific operation such as operation has been performed. If the setting change condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S102, and if the setting change condition is not satisfied, the setting change process ends.

  As described above, the setting change process shown in FIG. 11 is a process that is first executed when the power is turned on, and in step S102, the main setting saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption before the power is turned on. Initialize control information. Specifically, initialization of a stack pointer and initialization of an interrupt are performed. Next, the game information saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is partially restored (step S103). Specifically, the information relating to the special gaming state and the information relating to the RT are returned as they are (the information is maintained as it was at the time of the power interruption without clearing or changing each information). The information about the winning combination and the information about the internally won combination are initialized and cleared (the flag is turned off). Further, the count value of the first P counter included in the game information is cleared, and the count value becomes 0. Note that, other than clearing the count value of the first P counter to 0, a specific value different from 0 may be used, or a value selected by lottery or a predetermined order from two or more types of values. It may be a value.

  In the setting change processing, the count value of the first P counter is cleared and the count value becomes 0. However, if power is restored without performing the setting change processing after the power failure (immediate power recovery after power failure) Or the power may be turned off at night and the power may be restored the next morning), the count value of the first P counter is not cleared, and the count value included in the game information is not cleared. Return as is.

  After the partial return of the game information, the set value set at the time of setting change is stored in the set value information storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 as the set value after the setting change (step S104). Next, a setting change command indicating that the setting change has been performed is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 (step S105), and the information after the setting change (main control information and game information) is also transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. (Step S106), and the setting change process ends.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of various lottery processes in the main control unit main process.

  First, in step S131 executed first, an internal winning combination lottery is executed. In this process, the lottery table of the internal winning combination stored in the ROM 306 is read out according to the current game state and the RT, and the internal lottery (lottery of the combination) is used by using this table and the random number value obtained from the random number generation circuit 316. To determine the internal winning combination. For example, in the special winning combination 2 internal winning state and the state of RT2, the lottery table of the internal winning combination shown in FIG. 5B is read. As a result of the internal lottery, if any of the winning combinations (including the winning combination) is internally won, the flag of the winning combination is turned on.

  In step S132, a character additional erasure process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S133, a point setting process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S134, a point increase erasure process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S135, an AT lottery process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S136, preparation for transmission of the internal winning command is executed, and the various lottery processes end. The internal winning command includes information that can specify the internal winning combination, the current production state, the number of AT games, the AT lottery, and the result of the AT addition lottery. Of the above information, the information on the number of AT games may not be included in the internal winning command in the non-AT state, but may be included in the internal winning command only in the AT state. Further, in the AT state or the pseudo BB state, the internal winning command of the internal winning combination including the small combination 5 (the condition devices 6 to 11 shown in FIG. 5B) includes the operation order (pressing order) of the stop buttons 137 to 139. The operation instruction information indicating the operation order of the correct answer of ()) is also included.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of the character addition erasure process in various lottery processes.

  The character addition erasing process (step S132) is a process related to the character displayed in the character display area 1571 shown in FIG. As the characters, a grandfather character, a princess character, and a shinobi character are prepared in addition to the default character, the lord.

  In addition, a stay counter and an additional flag are prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 for each character other than the palace as a default character.

  In the character additional erasure process (step S132), first, it is determined whether or not the value of the grandfather's stay counter is greater than 0 (step S132a). If it is larger, the value of the grandfather's stay counter is decremented by one (step S132b). Proceed to S132g. On the other hand, if the value of the grandfather's stay counter is 0 or less, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is a weak cherry (small role 2) (step S132c). A lottery process (step S132d) is performed. In the lottery process here, the result is that a grandfather character is added with a probability of 30%. Note that another combination may be used instead of the weak cherry (small combination 2). In the grandfather stay counter setting process in step S132e subsequent to step S132d, when a grandfather character is added, the grandfather addition flag is set to ON, and the value of 1 or 2 determined by lottery is set in the grandfather stay counter. However, if the grandfather character is not to be added, the process proceeds to step S132g with the grandfather addition flag set to off. If the internal winning combination is other than the weak cherry (small winning combination 2), the grandfather elimination lottery process (step S132f) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S132g. In the grandfather elimination lottery process, the result is that the grandfather character is deleted with a probability of 50%. The grandfather character, once displayed, will not be erased until it is elected to erase in this grandfather elimination lottery process. However, as shown in the display screens of FIGS. 7B to 7G, FIGS. 7C and 7D, the character display area 1571 does not become invisible due to non-display. is there. When winning the deletion of the grandfather character, the grandfather addition flag is set to off.

  In step S132g, it is determined whether the value of the princess stay counter is greater than 0, and if it is, the value of the princess stay counter is decremented by 1 (step S132h), and the process proceeds to step S132m. On the other hand, if the value of the princess stay counter is 0 or less, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is a weak cherry (small combination 2) (step S132i). If the internal winning combination is a weak cherry, the princess character is additionally displayed. A lottery process (step S132j) is executed. The lottery process here also results in adding a princess character with a 30% probability. Note that another combination may be used instead of the weak cherry (small combination 2). The winning probability of the lottery for adding the princess character may be lower or higher than the winning probability of the lottery for adding the grandfather character. In the princess stay counter setting process in step S132k following step S132j, when a princess character is added, the princess addition flag is set to ON, and the value of 1 or 2 determined by lottery is set in the princess stay counter. If the princess character is not to be added, the process proceeds to step S132m with the princess addition flag set to off. The value set in the princess stay counter may be smaller or larger than the value set in the old stay counter in step S132e. If the internal winning combination is other than the weak cherry (small winning combination 2), a princess elimination lottery process (step S132l) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S132m. Even in the princess elimination lottery process, the princess character is erased with a probability of 50%. The winning probability of the lottery for deleting the princess character may be lower or higher than the winning probability of the lottery for deleting the grandfather character. Once displayed, the princess character is not erased until it is elected to erase in this princess erasure lottery process. However, as shown in the display screens of FIGS. 7B to 7G, FIGS. 7C and 7D, the character display area 1571 does not become invisible due to non-display. is there. When the princess character is erased, the princess addition flag is set to off.

  In step S132m, it is determined whether or not the value of the ninja stay counter is greater than 0. If it is, the value of the ninja stay counter is decremented by 1 (step S132n), and the process proceeds to step S132s. On the other hand, if the value of the Shinobi stay counter is 0 or less, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is a watermelon (small combination 1), unlike the preceding two characters (step S132o). The watermelon (small win 1) may be replaced by a weak cherry (small win 2) or another win. If the internal winning combination is watermelon, a lottery process (step S132p) for additionally displaying a Shinobu character is executed. In the lottery process here, a shinobi character is added with a probability of 15% unlike the winning probability of the preceding two characters. The winning probability of the lottery adding the Shinobi character may be the same as the winning probability of the lottery adding the grandfather character, or may be higher, and may be the same as the winning probability of the lottery adding the princess character. Or higher. In the ninja stay counter setting process in step S132q subsequent to step S132p, when adding a shinobi character, the shinobi addition flag is set to ON, and the value of 1 or 2 determined by lottery is set in the shinobi stay counter. However, when the shinobi character is not added, the process proceeds to step S132s while the shinobi addition flag is kept set to off. The value set in the Shinobi stay counter may be smaller or larger than the value set in the grandfather counter in step S132e or the value set in the princess stay counter in step S132k. If the internal winning combination is other than watermelon (small winning combination 1), the ninja elimination lottery process (step S132r) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S132s. Even in the Shinobi elimination lottery process, the ninobi character is erased with a 50% probability. The winning probability of the lottery for erasing the Shinobi character may be lower, higher, or higher than the winning probability of the lottery for erasing the princess character. And may be lower. Once displayed, the shinobi character will not be erased until it is elected to be erased in this shinobi erase lottery process. However, as shown in the display screens of FIGS. 7B to 7G, FIGS. 7C and 7D, the character display area 1571 does not become invisible due to non-display. is there. When winning the elimination of the Shinobu character, the Shinobi addition flag is set to off.

  In step S132s, a preparation is made to transmit a character addition erasure command representing additional display or erasure of each character to the first sub-control unit 400, and the character addition erasure processing ends. The character addition erasure command is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process (step S211) shown in FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 transmits a control command to the second sub-control unit 500 based on the transmitted character addition erasure command. As a result, each character is additionally displayed in the character display area 1571 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157, or is deleted from the character display area 1571.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the flow of the point setting process in various lottery processes, and FIG. 15 is a diagram showing various lottery tables used in the point setting process. Various lottery tables shown in FIG. 15 are stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  The point setting process (step S133) is a setting process relating to points counted by the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. That is, the setting process is related to the points of the point number display PN displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG.

  In the point setting process (step S133), first, it is determined whether a point setting condition is satisfied (step S133a). The point setting condition here is the first game after the setting change condition in step S101 shown in FIG. 11 is satisfied and the setting is changed, or the CZ state indicated by the arrow (i) in FIG. Is the first game after the game ends and enters the non-AT state, or the game is defeated in the true confrontation state, which is the pattern shown in FIG. 8B (the scene in which the lord is defeated as shown in FIG. 7D ′). Is displayed), or the first game after the loss of the first game, the condition is satisfied. In the first game after the setting is changed or in the first game after the CZ state ends and the non-AT state is reached, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is 000 points, and The number display LN is also the 0th lap. If the point setting condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S133b. If the point setting condition is not satisfied, the point setting process ends.

  In step S133b, a point mode setting process is performed. In the point mode setting process, the normal point mode or the chance point mode is set with the probability of each setting. Here, the point setting table shown in FIG. 15A is used. In the point setting table shown in FIG. 15A, the setting probability of the chance point mode is only 20% in the setting 1 in which the degree of advantage of the player is the lowest, but the setting probability of the chance point mode increases as the setting value increases. In the setting 6, in which the degree of advantage of the player is relatively highest, the setting probability of the chance point mode is increased to 50%, and the chance point mode is set with a probability of 1/2.

  In the chance point mode, the number of true confrontation points is likely to be set lower than in the normal point mode. The number of true confrontation points is one of the transition conditions from the non-AT state to the confrontation state as described with reference to FIG. 6B, and the lower the set number of true confrontation points, the lower the false confrontation state It is easier to shift to a true confrontation state than it is. As will be described later, the chance point mode is easier to win the pseudo BB lottery than the normal point mode. Further, the number of laps is incremented by one when defeated in a true confrontation. Therefore, when the number of true confrontation points is low, the number of laps tends to be increased quickly. As will be described later, in the chance point mode, when the number of laps is 5 or more, a true match is won with a probability of 100%. Therefore, the faster the number of laps is, the faster the victory of the true match is. Leads to. From the above, the chance point mode is more advantageous for the player than the normal point mode.

  In step S133c following step S133b, a point zone setting process is performed. In the point zone setting process, a point zone of the number of true confrontation points at which the pre-confrontation effect is started and a point zone of the number of false confrontation points at which the fake confrontation effect is started are set with the lottery probability according to the point mode. The point zone is obtained by dividing the count value counted by the first P counter, that is, the accumulated value of points, in a certain range. Here, a point zone setting table shown in FIG. 15B is used. For example, the number of true confrontation points and the number of fake confrontation points are not set in the point zone of 1 or more and 50 or less in the case of the normal point pod, but in the chance point mode, the point zone of 1 or more and 50 or less is used. If the number of true confrontation points is within, the probability is set to 80%, and if the number of false confrontation points is set, the probability is set to 95%. In this point zone setting table, only one point zone is set in a range of points of 0 or more and 500 or less, and a confrontation effect is performed only once. Alternatively, the confrontation effect may be performed a plurality of times.

  In step S133d following step S133c, a point ceiling setting process is performed. In the point ceiling setting process, the number of true confrontation points is determined from the point zone where the number of true confrontation points is set in the point zone setting process, and the number of false confrontation points is determined from the point zone where the number of false confrontation points is generated. I do. For example, in the normal point mode, if a point zone of 101 or more and 150 or less is set for the number of true confrontation points, which of the points of 101 or more and 150 or less is determined as the number of true confrontation points, It is determined by lottery based on the equal probability whether or not the pre-show sign production is to be started. If the number of fake contest points is between 201 and 250, which of the points between 201 and 250 is false, Whether to use the number of confrontation points, that is, from which point the fake contest is started is determined by a lottery with equal probability.

  In step S133e following step S133d, a true match result setting process is performed. In the true match result setting process, a pseudo BB lottery is performed. That is, whether or not the result of the true confrontation is a victory is determined by lottery. In the case of a victory, the pseudo BB1 scheduled flag or the pseudo BB2 scheduled flag is set to ON. In the pseudo BB1 state, in a state where the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is set to ON, the internal winning of the replaying game of the condition device number 1 shown in FIG. 5B is performed, and the symbol of the replaying game 2 is stopped and displayed. In the pseudo BB2 state, the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is set to ON, and the internal winning of the replaying role of the condition device number 1 shown in FIG. The transition is made when the symbol 3 is stopped and displayed. Here, the true match result setting table shown in FIG. 15C is used. In the true confrontation result setting table shown in FIG. 15C, the lottery probability is determined separately for the normal point mode and the chance point mode for each setting. Also, the lottery probability may vary depending on the number of laps (point laps). For example, in the chance point mode, after five laps, a true confrontation is won with a 100% probability. Furthermore, when the result of the true confrontation is won to win, a lottery is separately performed to set the pseudo BB1 scheduled flag to ON or the pseudo BB2 scheduled flag to ON. Note that the number of laps is increased by 1 when the player loses the true confrontation, and the number of points returns to 0. Also, in the fake confrontation, there is no victory in the confrontation unless an AT direct hit lottery is won.

  FIG. 16A is a flowchart showing the flow of the point increase erasing process in the various lottery processes, and FIG. 16B is a diagram showing a point increase setting table prepared in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  The point increase erasure process (step S134) is a process of increasing the points counted by the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. That is, the process is related to the increase of the points of the point number display PN displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG.

  In the point increase erasure process (step S134), first, it is determined whether a point increase condition is satisfied (step S134a). The point increase condition here is limited to the current effect state being any one of the non-AT state, the confrontation sign state, and the confrontation state shown in FIG. 6B. However, even in the non-AT state, when the value of the first P counter is 0 and the value of the first circulation counter (details will be described later) is also 0, the point increase condition is not satisfied when the lost symbol is stopped. In other words, when returning to the non-AT state, both the number of laps and the number of points become 0, and the points are not increased from returning to the non-AT state until winning a role other than a loss. Further, even in the pseudo BB state, the AT state, and the CZ state in which the privilege is given, the point is not increased. The privilege mentioned here includes, for example, an operation condition notification effect. It is a privilege that the operation condition notification effect can be executed even if it is not actually executed. If the point increase condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S134b. If the point increase condition is not satisfied, the point increase erasure process ends.

  Note that the point increase condition may not be established for one or more roles other than the loss, or may be failed for one or more roles other than the loss in place of the loss. Further, the determination may not be made in any of a plurality of lost roles.

  In step S134b, point increase setting processing according to each character is performed. Here, the point increase setting table shown in FIG. 16B is used. In the point increase setting table shown in FIG. 16B, the number of points given to each winning combination is determined for each of the lord character (character A), grandfather character (character B), and princess character (character C). I have. In the table in FIG. 16B, “Replay” is any of the replaying combinations 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 5A, and “Bell” is a small combination shown in FIG. 5 or small role 6 (the same applies to the following description). At least one point is given to each character. In addition, when the Shinobu character (character D) is displayed, the points given to other characters displayed are doubled. In the point increase setting process, the value of the first P counter is added.

  In step S134c following step S134b, preparation is made to transmit a point increase command for each character including the point value of the increase determined in the previous point increase setting process to the first sub control unit 400. The erasing process ends. That is, the point increase command does not include the count value (accumulated value) after the increase in the first P counter, but includes the value of the increased point (increase amount). In addition, the point increment amount for each character is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 because it is for each character.

  The point increase display in the point number display PN displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 7 is performed after the winning combination is determined and before the next game is started.

  However, in this step S134c, when the lost symbol is stopped after the power failure is restored, the preparation for transmitting the point increase command for each character to the first sub control unit 400 is not performed. Therefore, when the power interruption is restored, the point increase command for each character is not transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 until a winning combination other than the loss is won, and the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is: It remains at the value representing 0 and is not displayed in an increasing manner.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the flow of an AT lottery process in various lottery processes, and FIG. 18 is a diagram showing various lottery tables used in the AT lottery process. Various lottery tables shown in FIG. 18 are stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300.

  In the AT lottery process (step S135), first, it is determined whether or not the specific combination is internally won (step S135a). The specific combination here is a weak cherry of the small combination 2, a watermelon of the small combination 1, a strong cherry of the small combination 3, and a chance of the small combination 4. If the specific combination has not been internally won, the process proceeds to step S135c. If the specific combination has been internally won, an AT lottery process corresponding to the specific combination is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18A (step S135b). ). In the case of strong cherries and chances, 100% probability of winning the AT lottery. Further, when the player wins the AT lottery, a lottery of the number of AT games (the number of navigations) is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG.

  In step S135c, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery has been won. If it has been won, the process proceeds to step S135g, and if not, in step S135d, whether or not the staging state is the CZ state. Determine whether or not. If the effect state is the CZ state, in step S135e, an AT lottery process corresponding to the number of games in the CZ state is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18C, and the process proceeds to step S135g. In the AT lottery here, the winning probability of the third game and the 30th game is the highest. Further, when the player wins the AT lottery, the lottery of the number of AT games (the number of navigations) is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. In the AT lottery process in the CZ state, the number of AT games may be set to a predetermined number of games.

  If the effect state is not the CZ state, in step S135f, an AT direct hit lottery process is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18D, and the process proceeds to step S135g. In the AT direct hit lottery process, a game lottery process is executed. In the AT direct hit lottery process, the winning probability differs depending on the setting, and setting 6 is the most likely to win, but setting 2 has a higher winning probability than setting 3, and setting 4 has a higher winning than setting 5. High probability. However, the winning probability may increase as the set value increases. Further, when the player wins the AT direct hit lottery, the lottery of the number of AT games (the number of navigations) is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. In the direct hit lottery process, the number of AT games may be set to a predetermined number of games. In addition, the AT direct hit lottery may not be executed every game, but may be executed only when a specific combination (for example, a chance) is internally won.

  In step S135g, a flag corresponding to the winning lottery result is set to ON. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 has two types of AT scheduled flag and AT direct hit flag. If the AT lottery process according to the specific combination in step S135b and the AT lottery process according to the number of games in the CZ state in step S135e are won, the AT scheduled flag is set to ON, and the AT direct hit lottery process in step S135f is performed. , The AT direct hit flag is set to ON.

  In a step S135h following the step S135g, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT state. If the effect state is not the AT state, the AT lottery process ends. On the other hand, if the effect state is the AT state, in step S135i, an AT addition lottery process corresponding to the internally won combination is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. In the AT addition lottery process as well, the combination is limited to the weak cherry of the small combination 2, the watermelon of the small combination 1, the strong cherry of the small combination 3, and the chance of the small combination 4. In the lottery table shown in FIG. 18E, the winning probability is determined for each role, and when the winning is achieved, the number of AT games to be added is determined by the lottery. Here, the number of additional games is determined among 3 games, 5 games, 10 games, 20 games, and 30 games. When the AT addition lottery process is performed, the AT lottery process ends.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the status update process in the main control unit main process.

  First, in step S19a executed first, the RT is updated. As described above, in the slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1, since the RT and the game state have a one-to-one relationship, when the RT is updated, the game state is also updated.

  In a succeeding step S19b, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the non-AT state. If the effect state is not the non-AT state, the process proceeds to step S19c. If the effect state is the non-AT state, the process proceeds to step S191. In step S191, non-AT state processing is executed, and this state update processing ends. Details of the non-AT state processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S19c, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a sign-for-combat state, and if not, the process proceeds to step S19d, and if it is a sign-for-confront state, the process proceeds to step S192. In step S192, a precursor sign state process is executed, and this state update process ends. Details of the confrontation sign state process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S19d, it is determined whether or not the effect state is a confrontation state. If it is not a confrontation state, the process proceeds to step S19e, and if it is a confrontation state, the process proceeds to step S193. In step S193, a confrontation state process is executed, and this state update process ends. Details of the confrontation state process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S19e, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the pseudo BB state. If the effect state is not the pseudo BB state, the process proceeds to step S19f, and if it is the pseudo BB state, the process proceeds to step S194. In step S194, pseudo BB state processing is executed, and this state update processing ends. Details of the pseudo BB state process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S19f, it is determined whether or not the effect state is the AT state. If the effect state is not the AT state, the process proceeds to step S196. If the effect state is the AT state, the process proceeds to step S195. In step S195, AT state processing is executed, and this state update processing ends. Details of the AT state processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S196, CZ state processing is executed, and this state update processing ends. Details of the CZ state processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 20A is a flowchart showing the flow of the non-AT state processing in the state update processing.

  In the non-AT state process (step S191), first, it is determined whether or not the AT direct hit flag is set to ON (step S1911). If the AT direct hit flag is set to ON, the effect state is set to the AT state (step S1912), and the AT direct hit flag is set to OFF (step S1913). Next, a preparation is made to transmit a first P counter value command including the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400, and this non-AT state processing ends.

  On the other hand, if the AT direct hit flag is not set to ON, a number-of-G ceiling determination process is executed (step S1915), and then a point ceiling determination process (step S1916) is performed, and this non-AT state process ends. Become.

  FIG. 20B is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the G-number ceiling determination process.

  In the RAM 308 of the main controller 300, a counter for the number of ceiling G is provided in addition to the first P counter. In the G number ceiling determination process (step S1915), first, 1 is added to the ceiling G number counter (step S1915a), and the count value of the ceiling G number counter becomes the ceiling game number described in FIG. It is determined whether or not the game has reached the 499 game (step S1915b). If the game has not reached, the G-number ceiling determination process ends. Conversely, if the number of ceiling games has been reached, as described with reference to FIG. 6B, the state shifts from the non-AT state to the battle sign state. In step S1915c, the effect state is set to the battle precursor state, and the number of games that maintain the battle precursor state is set. The battle sign counter is also provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. Here, the value of the number of games determined by lottery between 2 games and 32 games is set in the battle sign counter. In a succeeding step S1915d, the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is set to ON, and the G-number ceiling determination process ends. By setting the pseudo BB1 schedule flag to ON in step S1915d, when the number of ceiling games has been exhausted, the pseudo BB1 state is always shifted to the pseudo BB1 state.

  FIG. 20C is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the point ceiling determination process.

  If it is determined in the point increase setting process of step S134b shown in FIG. 16A that the number of points corresponding to each character is to be increased, the main control is executed in step S1916a of the point ceiling determination process (step S1916). The increment point value is added to the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the unit 300.

  In a succeeding step S1916b, it is determined whether or not the count value of the first P counter is equal to or more than the number of false confrontation points determined in the point ceiling setting process (step S133d) shown in FIG. If it is less than the number of false confrontation points, the process proceeds to step S1916d. Conversely, if the number of false contest points is equal to or greater than the number of false confrontation points, the effect state is set to the confrontation state, and the number of games that maintain the confrontation state is set. A confrontation counter is also provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. Here, the value of the number of games determined by lottery between two games and four games is set in this confrontation counter. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S1916d.

  In step S1916d, it is determined whether or not the count value of the first P counter is equal to or larger than the number of true confrontation points determined in the point ceiling setting process (step S133d) shown in FIG. If the number is less than the number of true confrontation points, the point ceiling determination processing ends. On the other hand, if the number is equal to or more than the number of true confrontation points, the effect state is set to the confrontation state, and the number of games that maintain the confrontation state is set in the confrontation counter. Here, the number of games determined by lottery between the 2nd game and the 32nd game is set in the confrontation sign counter. When step S1916d is executed, the point ceiling determination processing ends.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the confrontation sign status process in the status update process.

  In the confrontation sign state process (step S192), first, the value of the confrontation sign counter is decremented by 1 (step S1921), and it is determined whether or not the value of the confrontation sign counter has become 0 (step S1922). If not, the battle precursor state process ends. On the other hand, if it is 0, in step S1923, the effect state is set to the confrontation state, the number of games maintaining the confrontation state is set in the confrontation counter, and this confrontation precursor state processing ends. Also in step S1923, the value of the number of games determined by lottery between the second game and the fourth game is set in the confrontation counter.

  When the number of ceiling games is reached in the battle sign state, if the lord is defeated in the battle effect following the battle sign effect performed at that time, the state returns to the battle sign state again. Also, when the number of true confrontation points is reached in the battle sign state, if the Lord is defeated in the confrontation production following the battle sign production that was being performed at that time, it returns to the battle sign state again and reaches the fake confrontation point number Then, if the Lord is defeated in the confrontation production following the pre-confrontation production performed at that time, the state shifts to the confrontation state.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the flow of the confrontation state processing in the state update processing.

  In the confrontation state process (step S193), first, it is determined whether or not the AT direct hit flag is set to on (step S193a). If the AT direct hit flag is set to ON, the effect state is set to the AT state (step S193b), and the AT direct hit flag is set to OFF (step S193c). Since the AT direct hit flag is set to ON, a scene where the lord has won (see FIG. 7D) is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. Next, a preparation is made to transmit a first P counter value command including the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 (step S193d), and this confrontation state processing ends. become. By executing step S193d, the information of the count value (true point value) of the first P counter is transmitted to the sub control side when the contest is won. Also in the first sub control unit 400 (sub control side), a second P counter is provided in the RAM 408, and the count value of the first P counter included in the first P counter value command transmitted from the main control unit 300 is stored. , Overwrite the second P counter. The process of overwriting the second P counter is the same when step S193k, step S193o, step S196e, and step S196i described below are executed.

  It should be noted that the second P counter of the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side) is reset by the power interruption and power recovery. The main control unit 300 includes a counter having the same behavior as the second P counter, that is, a third P counter that is reset by power interruption and power recovery. When the values of the third P counter and the first P counter do not match, A process of increasing the increase point may be performed so that the value of the third P counter (the same value as the value of the second P counter) approaches the value of the first P counter one or more times. In this case, all the difference points may be added. In addition, the main controller 300 sends the count value of the first P counter to the first sub-controller 400 (sub-control side) for each game, and the first sub-controller 400 (sub-control side) adjusts the value. You may. Further, a backup power supply may be mounted on the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side), and the first sub-control unit 400 (sub-control side) may be provided with a first P counter and a second P counter to perform the above processing. .

  On the other hand, if the AT direct hit flag is not set to ON, the value of the confrontation counter is decremented by 1 (step S193e), and it is determined whether or not the value of the confrontation counter has become 0 (step S193f). If not, the confrontation state process ends. On the other hand, if it is 0, the process proceeds to step S193g. If the value of the confrontation counter is 0 in the process of step S193e, the value remains 0. In step S193g, it is determined whether the pseudo BB1 schedule flag or the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is on. If either one of the schedule flags is on, then the pseudo flag of the on flag is turned on. It is determined whether the BB symbol has been stopped and displayed (step S193h). That is, if the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is on, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 has been stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is on, the symbol of the re-gaming combination 3 is determined. It is determined whether the combination is stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB symbol has not been stopped and displayed, the confrontation state process ends. If the pseudo BB symbol has been stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to step S193i. As described above, the pseudo BB1 state is maintained for 20 games, and the pseudo BB2 state is maintained for 15 games. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a pseudo BB state counter for counting the consumption of these games. In step S193i, when the symbol combination of the replaying game 2 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB1 state, and a value of 20 is set to the pseudo BB state counter. When the symbol combination of the re-game combination 3 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB2 state, and a value of 15 is set to the pseudo BB state counter. Subsequently, the schedule flag of the pseudo BB symbol stopped and displayed is set to off (step S193j), and preparation for transmitting the first P counter value command to the first sub control unit 400 is performed as in step S193d described above. (Step S193k), this confrontation state processing ends.

  If it is determined in step S193g that neither the pseudo BB1 schedule flag nor the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is on, it is determined whether the AT schedule flag is on (step S193l), and the AT schedule is performed. If the flag has been turned on, the process proceeds to step S193m. As described above, the lottery of the number of AT games (the number of navigations) is performed using the lottery table shown in FIG. 18B, and the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 counts the exhaustion of the number of AT games. AT status counter is provided. In step S193m, the effect state is set to the AT state, and the value of the number of AT games (the number of navigations) based on the lottery result is set in the AT state counter. Next, the AT schedule flag is set to off (step S193n), and preparation for transmitting the first P counter value command to the first sub-control unit 400 is performed similarly to step S193d (step S193o). Ends.

  On the other hand, if the AT schedule flag has not been turned on, it is determined whether or not the game has been defeated in a true confrontation (step S193p). The determination here is to determine whether the game has been lost in a true match or a false match. In addition to the first P counter, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is also provided with a first rotation counter for counting the number of rotations (point rotation). When the game is lost in the true confrontation, the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is reset to 0, and 1 is added to the first round counter (step S193q). Subsequently, the effect state is set to the non-AT state (step S193r), and this confrontation state processing ends. When the game is lost in the false match, the process proceeds to step S193r without performing the counter update process. As a result, if the player loses in a false match, the number of points and the number of laps are continued.

  When the ceiling game number is reached in the confrontation state, if the lord is defeated in the confrontation state, the state shifts to the confrontation sign state. In addition, in the confrontation state, when the number of true confrontation points is reached, if the Lord is defeated in the confrontation state, the state shifts to the pre-confrontation state, and when the number of false confrontation points is reached, the pre-confrontation effect performed at that time If the lord is defeated in the showdown that follows, the game returns to the showdown state again.

  FIG. 23A is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the pseudo BB state process in the state update process.

  In the pseudo BB state processing (step S194), first, the value of the pseudo BB state counter is decremented by 1 (step S194a), and it is determined whether or not the value of the pseudo BB state counter has become 0 (step S194b). If not, the pseudo BB state process ends.

  There is a 32 game delay from the start of the CZ state to the transition to the non-AT state. The player must win the AT lottery or win the pseudo BB lottery and stop and display the pseudo BB symbol during the 32 games. The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with a CZ state counter for counting the completion of the 32 games. If the value of the pseudo BB state counter is 0, the effect state is set to the CZ state in step S194c, a value of 32 is set in the CZ state counter, and the pseudo BB state processing ends.

  FIG. 23B is a flowchart showing the flow of the AT status process in the status update process.

  In the AT state process (step S195), first, it is determined whether or not an effect of operating condition notification (navigation) is executed (step S195a). If the effect of operating condition notification is not executed, the process proceeds to step S195c. On the other hand, if the effect of the operation condition notification has been executed, the value of the AT state counter is decremented by 1 (step S195b), and the process proceeds to step S195c.

  In step S195c, it is determined whether or not the value of the pseudo BB state counter has become 0, and if not, this AT state processing ends. On the other hand, if the value of the AT state counter is 0, in step S195d, the effect state is set to the CZ state, the value of 32 is set in the CZ state counter, and the AT state processing ends.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the flow of the CZ state processing in the state update processing.

  In the CZ state process (step S196), it is determined whether the pseudo BB1 scheduled flag or the pseudo BB2 scheduled flag is turned on (step S196a). In the CZ state, the pseudo BB lottery is performed in each game by the main control unit 300, and the pseudo BB1 scheduled flag or the pseudo BB2 scheduled flag is set to ON by winning the pseudo BB lottery. In the CZ state, when a specific combination (for example, a chance) is internally won, a pseudo BB lottery may be performed by the main control unit 300. If any one of the schedule flags is on, it is determined whether the pseudo BB symbol of the on flag is stopped and displayed (step S196b). That is, if the pseudo BB1 schedule flag is on, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination of the re-gaming combination 2 has been stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is on, the symbol of the re-gaming combination 3 is determined. It is determined whether the combination is stopped and displayed. If the pseudo BB symbol is not stopped and displayed, the CZ state process ends. If the pseudo BB symbol is stopped and displayed, the process proceeds to step S196c. In step S196c, when the symbol combination of the replaying combination 2 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB1 state, and a value of 20 is set to the pseudo BB state counter. When the symbol combination of the re-game combination 3 is stopped and displayed, the effect state is set to the pseudo BB2 state, and a value of 15 is set to the pseudo BB state counter. Subsequently, the schedule flag of the pseudo BB symbol stopped and displayed is set to off (step S196d), and preparation for transmitting the first P counter value command to the first sub control unit 400 is performed as in step S193d shown in FIG. (Step S196e), the CZ state processing ends.

  If it is determined in step S196a that neither the pseudo BB1 schedule flag nor the pseudo BB2 schedule flag is on, it is determined whether the AT schedule flag is on (step S196f), and the AT schedule is performed. If the flag is on, the process proceeds to step S196g. In step S196g, the effect state is set to the AT state, and the value of the number of AT games (the number of navigations) based on the lottery result is set in the AT state counter. Next, the AT schedule flag is set to off (step S196h), and here, similarly to step S193d shown in FIG. 22, preparation is made to transmit the first P counter value command to the first sub control unit 400 (step S196i). This confrontation state processing ends.

  On the other hand, if the AT schedule flag is not turned on, the value of the CZ state counter is decremented by 1 (step S196j), and the process proceeds to step S196k. In step S196k, it is determined whether or not the value of the CZ state counter has become 0. If not, the CZ state processing ends. On the other hand, if the value of the CZ state counter is 0, in step S196l, the effect state is set to the non-AT state. Further, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0, and the count value of the first circulation counter is also reset to 0, and the CZ state processing ends. As a result, when shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state, both the number of points and the number of laps become zero.

<Process of First Sub-Control Unit 400>
Next, the processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 25A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 25B is a flowchart of the command reception interruption process of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 25C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, in step S31, various initial settings are performed. The initial setting is executed when the power is turned on. 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 S32, 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 S305.

  In step S33, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S34, a command process, which is a process corresponding to each command received from main control unit 300, is executed.

  In step S35, effect control processing is performed. Here, the processing of expanding the effect data and setting the device data in the effect execution area provided in the RAM 408, the processing of setting the effect data in the effect reservation area provided in the RAM 408, and the processing of the received command Based on the information contained in the command and the command, effect data is set, control processing is executed, and the like. The effect data set in the effect reservation area and the device data set in the effect execution area may be updated (overwritten) with other data. In this case, the effect contents are changed based on the overwritten data. Details of the effect control processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step S36, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S35. For example, control data is acquired from the device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to the speakers 272 and 277, and the acquired control data is output to the sound source IC 418, thereby executing a sound effect.

  In step S37, a lamp control process is performed based on the processing result of step S35. For example, the control data is acquired from the device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to the various lamps 420, and the acquired control data is output to the drive circuit 422, so that the effect by the lamp is executed.

  In step S38, a shutter control process is performed based on the processing result of step S35. For example, the control data is acquired from the device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to the shutter 163, and the acquired control data is output to the drive circuit 424, whereby the effect by the shutter 163 is executed.

  In step S39, an information output process for setting to transmit a control command to the second sub-control unit 500 based on various processing results is performed. For example, if there is device data set in the effect execution area corresponding to effect image display device 157, preparation is made to transmit this device data to second sub-control unit 500, and the process returns to step S32.

  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 S30a 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 control unit timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 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 S301, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S32 in the first sub-controller main process shown in FIG. 25A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S32, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S302, transmission of device data to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step S38, update processing of the effect random number value, and the like are performed.

  Next, the effect control process (step S35) in the first sub-controller main process of FIG. 25A will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 26A is a flowchart of the effect control process (step S35) in FIG.

  First, in step S351 executed first, a character additional erasure process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In a succeeding step S352, a point increase erasing process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, in step S353, a zone display additional erasure process is executed. The details of this processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In a succeeding step S354, a counter display process is executed. The details of this process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the last step S355, a navigation display process is executed, and the effect control process ends. The number of AT games is included in the internal winning command to the first sub control unit 400, and is transmitted in the command setting transmission process of step S211 shown in FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 also manages the consumption of the number of AT games, and if the number of AT games remains, performs a process of displaying operation condition notification (navigation) shown in FIG. In the navigation display process, information for instructing to display the operation condition notification (navigation) is set in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157.

  FIG. 26B is a flowchart of the character additional erasure process (step S351).

  The character addition erasure command prepared in step S132s shown in FIG. 13 is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process in step S211 shown in FIG. In step S351a in the character additional erasure process, it is determined whether or not the transmitted character additional erasure command includes information for adding a grandfather character. Is performed in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 (step S351b), and the process proceeds to step S351c. On the other hand, if the information for adding the grandfather character is not included, it is determined whether the information for deleting the grandfather character is included (step S351d), and if not, the step S351c is not included here. If it is included, the process proceeds to step S351e, in which information indicating that the display of the grandfather character is to be deleted is set in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 (step S351e), and step S351c is performed. Proceed to.

  In step S351c, it is determined whether or not information for adding a princess character is included in the transmitted character addition erasure command, and if it is, information for instructing additional display of the princess character is determined. Then, a princess addition process for setting the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 is performed (step S351f), and the process proceeds to step S351g. On the other hand, if the information to add the princess character is not included, it is determined whether the information to delete the princess character is included (step S351h), and if not, the step S351g is not included. If it is included, a princess erasing process is performed to set the information instructing to erase the display of the princess character in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 (step S351i), and step S351g Proceed to.

  In step S351g, it is determined whether or not information for adding a ninja character is included in the transmitted character addition erasure command, and if so, information for instructing additional display of the shinobi character is included. Then, shinobi addition processing for setting the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 is performed (step S351j), and the character addition erasure processing ends. On the other hand, if the information for adding the ninja character is not included, it is determined whether the information for deleting the ninja character is included (step S351k). The erasing process is completed, and if it is included, a shinobi erasing process of setting the information instructing to erase the display of the shinobi character in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 is performed (step S351l). ), The character additional erasure process ends.

  FIG. 27A is a flowchart of the point increase erasure process (step S352).

  The point increase command for each character prepared in step S134c shown in FIG. 16A is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process in step S211 shown in FIG. In step S352a in the point increase erasing process, it is determined whether or not the point increase command is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command. As described in the description of FIG. 16A, the point increase command is a command transmitted when the point increase condition is satisfied. That is, the command is transmitted only when the effect state is any of the non-AT state, the confrontation sign state, and the confrontation state. However, even in the non-AT state, the point increase command is not transmitted when the lost symbol is stopped when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is also 0. As described above, the point increase command does not include the count value (accumulated value) of the first P counter after the increase, but includes the value of the increased point (increase amount). If the point increase command is stored as an unprocessed command, a point increase setting process is performed according to the point increase command for each character (step S352b). In addition, in effect image display device 157, an additional display is performed for each character. In the RAM 408 of the first sub control unit 400, in addition to the second P counter, an additional recording area is prepared for each character. In the point increase setting process, the number of added points is recorded in the added recording area for each character. Next, an increase point obtained by adding the addition amount (increase amount) for each character is added to the second P counter (step S352c), and the point increase erasure processing ends. For example, when 1 point is added for the character of the lord and 5 points are added for the character of the grandfather, 6 points are added to the second P counter.

  In addition to the point increase command, the first additional control unit 400 also receives the character addition and deletion command prepared in step S132s shown in FIG. In the RAM 408 of the first sub-control unit 400, an additional flag is prepared for each character (grandchild, princess, shinobi) other than the character of the lord, which is the default character. For example, if the character addition deletion command includes information for adding a grandfather character, the grandfather addition flag is set to ON. Steps S352b and S352c are performed only on characters for which the addition flag is set to ON for characters other than the character of the lord, which is the default character. Here, when the power interruption is restored, all the additional flags of the respective characters prepared in the RAM 408 of the first sub-control unit 400 are turned off. For this reason, even if a point increase command for the character of the lord and a point increase command for a character other than the character of the lord are transmitted after the power is restored, only the command for increasing the point of the lord's character is transmitted in steps S352b and S352c. It is processed.

  The RAM 408 of the first sub control unit 400 also has a second circulation counter. The point increase command also includes information indicating that the number of laps has been increased or that the number of laps has been reset.

  The timing of resetting the number of rotations is when the state shifts from the CZ state to the non-AT state, when a setting is changed, and when power is restored due to a power failure.

  On the other hand, the number of laps increases when the player loses the true confrontation or when the player first wins a game other than the loss after shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state (the number of laps increases from 0 to 1). This is the first time a prize has been won other than the loss after a power failure and a power recovery. If the point increase command includes information indicating that the number of laps has been increased, 1 is added to the second lap counter in step S352c.

  Further, when a true match is lost, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0 (step S193q), and the first sub control unit 400 clears the point in the command setting transmission process of step S211 (see FIG. 10). A command is sent. If the point increase command is not stored as an unprocessed command, it is determined in step S352d whether the point clear command is not stored as an unprocessed command. If the point clear command is not stored, the point increase erasure processing ends. If the point clear command is stored, the value of the second P counter is reset to 0 (step S352e), and the point increase erasure processing ends. Become. If the point clear command includes information indicating that the number of laps has been reset (corresponding to a case where the state has shifted from the CZ state to the non-AT state), the value of the second lap counter is also changed in step S352e. Reset to zero. In step S352e, a second P counter initial value setting flag described later is also cleared.

  FIG. 27B is a flowchart of the zone display additional erasure process (step S353).

  In the effect image display device 157, the zone display is displayed, deleted, or not displayed. This zone display is a display indicating that the player is in an advantageous state, and more specifically, whether the point value displayed on the point number display PN is the number of true confrontation points or the number of false confrontation points is This is a display that indicates that the vehicle is in a point zone that is unknown but is likely to reach one of the confrontation point numbers. The zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572. The CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 determines whether or not the value of the second P counter is a value corresponding to the zone display (step S353a). A zone display addition process for setting the instructed zone display information in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157 is performed (step S353b), and the zone display additional deletion process ends. Conversely, if the value of the second P counter is not a value corresponding to zone display, zone display erasure processing is performed (step S353c), and the zone display additional erasure processing ends. In the zone display erasing process, if zone display information is set in the effect execution area corresponding to effect image display device 157, zone display information is deleted from the effect execution area, and if zone display information is not set, Do not set any information.

  FIG. 27C is a table showing the presence or absence of the zone display.

  As shown in the table of FIG. 17C, the zone display is not displayed, deleted, or displayed corresponding to the point zone described with reference to FIG. That is, in the point zone setting table shown in FIG. 15B, the zone display is displayed in a point zone having a relatively high probability, and the zone display is not erased or displayed in a point zone having a relatively low probability. The zone display here does not distinguish between the normal point mode and the chance point mode. In either mode, if the probability is high, the zone display is displayed, and if the probability is low, the zone display is deleted or not displayed. However, the zone display may be displayed, deleted, or not displayed while distinguishing between the normal point mode and the chance point mode. For example, in the chance mode, the zone display is displayed when the value of the second P counter belongs to the point zones 1 to 50 and 51 to 100, and the zone display is displayed in the other point zones. It may not be displayed.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the counter display process (step S354).

  In the counter display process (step S354), first, in step S354a, it is determined whether a display condition for counter display is satisfied. The display condition of the counter display is limited to any one of a non-AT effect, a false battle effect, and a battle victory effect. If this display condition is not satisfied, the counter display processing ends. On the other hand, if the display condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S354b whether the condition for setting the initial value of the second P counter is satisfied. The initial value setting condition of the second P counter is satisfied when the value of the second circulation counter is 0, the value of the second P counter is 0, and the initial value setting flag of the second P counter is off. If the condition for setting the initial value of the second P counter is satisfied, 0 is set as the initial value in the second P counter in step S354c, and the initial value setting flag for the second P counter is turned on in step S354d. In addition to the count value of the second P counter being uniformly set to 0, a specific value different from 0 may be used, or a value selected by lottery or selected in a predetermined order from two or more types of values. It may be a value. In step S354e, whether the first P counter value command prepared in step S193d, step S193k, step S193o, step S196e, and step S196i is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 Is determined. If the first P counter value command has not been stored, the process proceeds to step S354g, and if it has been stored, step S354f is executed before the process proceeds to step S354g. In step S354f, the count value of the first P counter included in the first P counter value command is overwritten on the second P counter of the RAM 408. By executing this step S354f, the value of the second P counter, which did not match the value of the first P counter, matches the value of the first P counter.

  In step S354g, information indicating that the value of the second P counter in the RAM 408 is to be displayed in the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is set in the effect execution area corresponding to the effect image display device 157, and the counter is displayed. The process ends.

<Process of Second Sub-Control Unit 500>
Next, the processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 29A is a flowchart of a main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 29B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 29C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 29D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S41 of FIG. 29A, various initial settings are performed. When the power is turned on, first, an initialization process is executed in step S41. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, initialization of a storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S42, 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 S43.

  In step S43, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S44, 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 S45, effect control processing is performed. Specifically, when there is a new command in step S44, 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 S46, an image control process is performed based on the processing result of step S45. For example, if the effect data read in step S45 includes an image control command, image control corresponding to the command is performed. For example, image control relating to a display image (notification image, background image) is executed. This image control processing will be described later with reference to FIG. When this image control process ends, the process returns to the step S42.

  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 S40a of the command reception interrupt processing, the command output by the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a 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 S401, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S42 in the second sub-controller main processing shown in FIG. 29A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step S42, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S402, an effect random number value update process and the like are performed.

  Next, the image control process in step S46 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 S461, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 518. 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 518), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the position information table and the like. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on a command set in the attribute register. After that, the VDP 516 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S462, it is determined whether or not the transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 516 has been input. If the transfer end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S463; otherwise, the transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

  In step S463, parameter setting is performed based on the rendering scenario configuration table and the attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S461, the CPU 504 sets information on image data constituting the display image (the coordinate axes and the image size of the VRAM 518). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), superimposition and transparency of images, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 516. The VDP 516 sets parameters according to the attribute based on a command stored in the attribute register.

  In step S464, a drawing instruction is issued. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S465, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 based on the drawing end of the image has been input. If the generation end interrupt signal has been input, the process proceeds to step S431; otherwise, the generation end interrupt signal has been input. Wait for is entered.

  In step S466, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many images of the scene has been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

  Subsequently, an effect example in the effect image display device 157 will be described.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the count value of the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 increases in the non-AT state. In the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 30, the animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle is continuously displayed. In addition, character display area 1571 is displayed on effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 30, and effect information display area 1572 is also displayed below character display area 1571. In addition, below the effect image display device 157, “Counter 1” representing the first P counter prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is written, and the count value of the first P counter is displayed on the right side thereof. ing. The first P counter is reset when a true match is lost, when the state is shifted from the CZ state to the non-AT state, and when the setting is changed, and the count value becomes zero. The second P counter is reset when a true confrontation is lost, when a transition is made from the CZ state to the non-AT state, when a setting is changed, and when power is restored due to a power interruption, and the count value is reset. It becomes 0. Further, "Counter 2" representing the second P counter prepared in the RAM 408 of the first sub control unit 400 is described, and the count value of the second P counter is also displayed on the right side thereof.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 30 is an example in which only one lord character is displayed as a character.

  FIG. 32 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the count value of the first P counter increases in a confrontation state. The example shown on the left side of FIG. 32 is also an example in which only one lord character is initially displayed as a character. Hereinafter, differences from the example shown on the left side of FIG. 30 will be mainly described. The description may be omitted.

  In FIG. 32 (a1), the animation is in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 32 (a1), one face image tp of the lord character, which is the default character, is also displayed. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55, and “055” is displayed as the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572.

  Subsequently, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of false confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 32 (a2), the count value of the first P counter is increased by one point to 56. Also, the count value of the second P counter has increased to 56. The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 32 (a2) displays a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state, in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other. The upper right of the display screen indicates that the effect is in the confrontation state. The character display of “showdown effect” is displayed. Note that the confrontation effect here is a fake confrontation effect. In FIG. 32 (a2), the effect state has shifted from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. When the state shifts to the confrontation state, the character display area 1571 disappears, and the face image tp of the lord character also disappears. On the other hand, the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Here, the point number display PN has been increased by one point to “056”. That is, the point number display PN has the same value as the count value of the second P counter.

  In FIG. 32 (a2), the first addition display “ad1” (first addition display Tad1 for the lord) shown in FIG. 30 (a2) is not displayed, but the first addition display “ad1” shown in FIG. 30 (a2) is not displayed. It may be displayed in a mode that is less noticeable than the display ad1. For example, the number of display, the number of display colors, or the number of display animations is smaller, the display time is shorter, or the display size is smaller than the first addition display ad1 shown in FIG. You may. Also, the display may be displayed lighter than the first addition display ad1 shown in FIG. Further, the first addition display ad1 shown in FIG. 30 (a2) may be one in which the color or shape changes during display, and in this case, it is displayed in FIG. 32 (a2). The color of the first addition display ad1 may not change during display, and the shape may not change.

  Just before FIG. 32 (a3), the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In FIG. 32 (a3), the count value of the first P counter is increased by one point to 57. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 57. However, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 32 (a3) remains “056”. Since the effect information display area 1572 is not displayed and the face image tp of the lord's character is not displayed, the lord's first addition display Tad1 is not displayed, and the lord's first addition is displayed. The animation of the display Tad1 is not displayed.

  In FIG. 32 (a4), the animation of the second addition display Tad2 is displayed on the effect information display area 1572 side. That is, the second addition display Tad2 for the lord appears on the side of the effect information display area 1572, and the second addition display Tad2 for the lord moves in the direction approaching the point number display PN in FIG. It overlaps a part of the point number display PN (display of “056”). The second addition display Tad2 for the lord shown in FIG. 32 (a5) is about to disappear. In the next FIG. 32 (a6), the second addition display Tad2 for the lord is completely disappeared, and the point number display PN is the second P. It is "057" representing the same value as the count value of the counter. That is, the point number display PN is changed to a display in which two points are added.

  In the example shown on the left side of FIG. 32 described above, the animation time (scale) for the point increase display of the point number display PN in the confrontation state is the animation for the point increase display of the point number display PN in the non-AT state. It is the same length as the time (scale).

  The example shown in the center of FIG. 32 is also an example in which only one lord character is displayed as the character at first, but the point number display PN of the point number display PN in the confrontation state is displayed more than the example shown on the left side of FIG. This is an example of a short animation time. Hereinafter, description will be made focusing on differences from the example shown on the left side of FIG. 32, and redundant description will be omitted.

  In the example shown in the center of FIG. 32, when the third stop is performed, the second addition display Tad2 for the patron appears immediately on the effect information display area 1572 side. That is, the animation in FIG. 32A3 is cut, and the time is short by the length of the cut animation.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 32 is also an example in which only one lord character is initially displayed as a character, but the point number display PN in the point number display PN in the confrontation state is displayed more than the example shown in the center of FIG. This is an example in which the time (length) of the animation for is shorter. Hereinafter, description will be made focusing on differences from the example shown in the center of FIG. 32, and redundant description will be omitted.

It is added and displayed. As a result, the time is further reduced by the length of the animation (the animation in FIG. 32 (c3)) in which the second addition display Tad2 appears.

  The example shown in the center of FIG. 33 is an example in which a princess character and a princess character are initially displayed as characters. Hereinafter, differences from the example shown on the right side of FIG. May be omitted.

  In FIG. 33 (b1), the animation is in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 33 (b1), a face image tp of a princess character is also displayed in addition to the face image tp of the lord character, which is a default character, and a total of two face images are displayed. ing. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55, and “055” is displayed as the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572.

  Subsequently, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is also set, and the number of false confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 33 (b2), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 2 points to 57. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 57. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33 (b2), a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state, in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other, is displayed. In the upper right of the display screen, a character display of “confrontation effect” is displayed. It has been done. The confrontation effect here is also a fake confrontation effect. In FIG. 33 (b2), the effect state has shifted from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. Upon transition to the confrontation state, the character display area 1571 disappears, and the face image tp of the lord character also disappears. On the other hand, the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Here, the point number display PN is already increased by 2 points to “057”. That is, the point number display PN has the same value as the count value of the second P counter. Although the face image tp of the princess character and the face image hp of the princess character have disappeared, the two points that have increased are the added value of the princess character (+1) and the added value of the princess character (+1). Is the sum of

  Immediately before FIG. 33 (b3), the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed. In FIG. 33 (b3), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 11 points to 68. Also, the count value of the second P counter has increased to 68. However, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33 (b3) remains “057”. In this example, the second addition display Tad appears on the effect information display area 1572 side immediately after the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed. That is, the animation in FIG. 30 (c2) is cut, and the time is short by the length of the cut animation. The second addition display Tad shown in FIG. 33 (b3) is a display (here, “+11”) representing the sum of the addition value (+1) of the lord character and the addition value (+10) of the princess character. Display).

  Further, in this example, the animation (the animation of FIG. 30 (c4)) in which the second addition display Tad moves in the direction approaching the point number display PN is cut, and only the length of the cut animation is cut. It is even shorter.

  In FIG. 33 (b4), the second addition display Tad disappears, and the point number display PN is “068” representing the same value as the count value of the second P counter. That is, the point number display PN has changed to a display in which 11 points have been added.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 33 is an example in which a lord character, a princess character, and a shinobi character are initially displayed as characters, and the differences from the example shown in the center of FIG. The description will focus on the points, and duplicate description may be omitted.

  FIG. 33 (c1) also shows the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. In addition, in the character display area 1571 in FIG. 33 (c1), a face image tp of a princess character and a face image sp of a shinobi character are displayed in addition to the face image tp of the lord character, which is the default character. Thus, a total of three face images are displayed. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55, and “055” is displayed as the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572.

  Subsequently, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of false confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 33 (c2), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each increased by 4 points to 59. These four points are the value obtained by doubling the one point for the lord and the one point for the princess with a ninja. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33 (c2), a confrontation animation in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other is displayed according to the confrontation state. It has been done. The confrontation effect here is also a fake confrontation effect. Also in FIG. 33 (c2), the effect state has shifted from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. When transitioning to the confrontation state, the character display area 1571 has disappeared, and all the face images of each character have also disappeared. On the other hand, the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Here, the point number display PN has already been increased by 4 points to “059”. That is, the point number display PN has the same value as the count value of the second P counter.

  Immediately before FIG. 33 (c3), the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed. In FIG. 33 (c3), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 22 points to 81. Also, the count value of the second P counter has increased to 81. However, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 33 (c3) remains “059”. Also in this example, as soon as the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed, the second addition display Tad appears on the effect information display area 1572 side. The second addition display Tad shown in FIG. 33 (c3) is a total value (display of "+22") obtained by doubling the one point for the palace and the ten points for the princess by shinobi.

  Also in this example, the animation in which the second addition display Tad moves is cut off. In FIG. 33 (c4), the second addition display Tad disappears, and the point number display PN becomes the count of the second P counter. It is “081” representing the same value as the value. That is, the point number display PN has changed to a display in which 22 points have been added.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a true confrontation effect is performed and the state shifts to the pseudo BB state and the AT state.

  In FIG. 34A, the animation is in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 34A, a face image tp of a lord character, which is a default character, is displayed. In addition, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, both of which are not shown, are 1, and the lap number display LN of the effect information display area 1572 is a display of “first lap”. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55, and “055” is displayed as the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572.

  Subsequently, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is also set, and the number of true confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 34 (2), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each increased by one point to 56. The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (2) displays an animation of the lord holding the sword, corresponding to the sign-for-confrontation state, and a character display of "sign-for-confrontation effect" is displayed at the upper right of the display screen. ing. In FIG. 34 (2), the effect state has shifted from the non-AT state to the battle sign state. When the state shifts to the battle sign state, both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 have disappeared. As described above, when the state shifts from the default state (non-AT state), only a character display area 1571 in the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 disappears (a second state which is a confrontation state). ), And a state in which both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 disappear (a first state that is a precursor state of confrontation).

  In the first game after the transition to the battle precursor state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In FIG. 34 (3), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each increased by 1 point to 57. ing. However, since the effect information display area 1572 has disappeared, the player is not notified that the point-up has been performed.

  The lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed in the game for the second time after the transition to the confrontation state, and in this example, when the two games are exhausted after the transition to the confrontation state, the game shifts to the confrontation state. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (4), a confrontation animation in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other is displayed according to the confrontation state, and a character display of “confrontation effect” is displayed at the upper right of the display screen. It has been done. Here, the confrontation effect is a true confrontation effect. The confrontation animation includes a confrontation scene and a win / loss scene, and the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (4) displays the confrontation scene. In the confrontation scene of the confrontation state started via the confrontation sign state, that is, the confrontation scene of the true confrontation state, the effect information display area 1572 as well as the character display area 1571 are still disappearing. As described above, even in a certain scene (confrontation scene) in the same second state (confrontation state), an effect is produced depending on whether the transition is made via the first state (confrontation sign state) or not. The display / non-display of the information display area 1572 is different. That is, in the case of transition to the second state (confrontation state) via the first state (confrontation state), the number of points or the number of points and the number of points in a certain scene (confrontation scene) in the second state. When the number of times is displayed, and when the state shifts to the second state (confrontation state) without passing through the first state (confrontation state), the number of points or the number of points in the certain scene (confrontation scene) in the second state The number of points and the number of laps are not displayed. However, whether or not the number of points or the number of points and the number of laps are displayed / not displayed is distinguished by whether or not the vehicle has passed through the first state, but whether or not the vehicle has passed through the first state. Instead, in a certain scene in the second state, the number of points or the number of points and the number of laps may be undisplayed or unified. In FIG. 34 (4), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each further increased by one point to 58.

  In the first game after the transition to the confrontation state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In FIG. 34 (5), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each increased by 1 point to 59. . On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (5), the confrontation scene of the confrontation animation is still displayed. Eventually, the second game is started after shifting to the confrontation state, and a certain symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the state shifts after two games have been consumed after the shift to the confrontation state. That is, the state shifts to the pseudo BB state, the AT state, or the non-AT state. When the transition is made to the pseudo BB state or the AT state, a scene in which the lord has won is displayed as a win / loss scene following the confrontation scene. The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (6) displays a scene in which the lord has won. In the scene where the lord has won, the character display area 1571 is still disappearing, but the display of the effect information display area 1572 is restored. In FIG. 34 (6), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each further increased by one point to 60, and the point number display PN in the revived effect information display area 1572 is the count value of the second P counter. It is “060” representing the same value as the value. Since the point number display PN (see FIG. 34 (1)) immediately before the effect information display area 1572 disappears is “055”, this means that the points have been increased by 5 points at once.

  When the symbol combination of the replaying game 2 or the symbol combination of the replaying game 3 (pseudo BB symbol) shown in FIG. 5A is stopped and displayed after the second game after the transition to the confrontation state, To the pseudo BB state. That is, if the pseudo BB symbols are aligned in the second game after the transition to the confrontation state, the scene where the lord has won is displayed and the process shifts to the pseudo BB state, but the pseudo BB symbols are aligned in the second game. If not, they will be carried over to the next game. If the pseudo BB symbols are not aligned in the second game, the scene in which the lord has been defeated may not be carried over to the next game, and a transition to the non-AT state may be made. Further, the pseudo BB symbol may be a symbol that can be always aligned at one time by the pull-in control of the reels 110 to 112.

  In FIG. 34 (7a), the symbol combination of the replaying game 2 is stopped and displayed, and the state shifts to the pseudo BB1 state. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157, the lord corresponding to the pseudo BB state is raised. Animation is displayed. Further, the number of medals obtained in the pseudo BB state is displayed at the lower right of the display screen. However, in the pseudo BB state, the effect information display area 1572 disappears again, and the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 are not displayed. Also, in the pseudo BB state, as in the AT state, the operation condition notification effect is executed, and the operation sequence of “2 3 1” is notified on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. The correct operation sequence is to perform a first stop with the right stop button 139, perform a second stop with the left stop button 137, and perform a third stop with the middle stop button 138. The stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation order in accordance with the notification of the operation condition, the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and medals are paid out. However, in the pseudo BB state, the points do not increase regardless of which symbol combination is stopped and displayed. The pseudo BB1 state shifts to the CZ state when 20 games are consumed. In FIG. 34 (8a), the symbol stop of the twentieth game is performed, and the end effect of the pseudo BB state is performed on the effect image display device 157. Even when the symbol of the twentieth game is stopped, the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed, and the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (8a) indicates that the number of obtained medals in the pseudo BB1 state this time is 100. 34 (8a), both the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed since the start of the pseudo BB state, and remain at 60. It is shown.

  In FIG. 34 (9a), the state shifts to the CZ state, and the animation of the lord running in the wilderness corresponding to the CZ state is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. In addition, the number of remaining games before shifting to the non-AT state is displayed at the lower right of the display screen. Even in the CZ state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed.

  In this example, the final game corresponding to the 32nd game from the start of the CZ state is started without winning the AT lottery, without winning the pseudo BB lottery and stopping and displaying the pseudo BB symbol, On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (10a), it is displayed that the number of remaining games before shifting to the non-AT state is 0. FIG. 34 (10a) also shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed since the start of the pseudo BB state and remain at 60.

  In FIG. (11a) following FIG. 34 (10a), the state shifts from the CZ state to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. Is displayed. When the state shifts from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset, and as shown in FIG. 34 (11a), the count value of the first P counter is 0 and the count value of the second P counter is also 0. In addition, the count value of the first circulation counter (not shown) is also reset to zero, and the count value of the second circulation counter is also zero. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (11a), the display of the character display area 1571 and the display of the effect information display area 1572 are restored, and the character display area 1571 displays the face of the lord character. One image tp is displayed, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 is a display representing 0, and the number-of-laps display LN is also a display representing the 0th lap.

  If the player has won the AT lottery, and the game has been completed after the transition to the confrontation state, the scene in which the lord has won is displayed and the state transitions to the AT state. In FIG. 34 (7b), the state shifts to the AT state, and the display of the animation in which the lord is viewing the cherry blossoms with the castle in the background corresponding to the AT state is started on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. I have. Further, the lower right of the display screen displays the number of accumulated medals obtained since the start of the AT state, and the lower left shows the total number of AT games that have been consumed (total 0G (game)) and the remaining AT games. The number (remaining 10G) is displayed. However, even in the AT state, the effect information display area 1572 disappears again, and the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 are not displayed. Also, on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (7b), the operation condition notification effect is being executed, the operation order “1 32” is displayed, and the first stop is performed by the left stop button 137. Performing the second stop with the right stop button 139 and the third stop with the middle stop button 138 are the correct operation order. The stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation order in accordance with the notification of the operation condition, the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and medals are paid out. However, even in the AT state, the point does not increase regardless of which symbol combination is stopped and displayed. The AT state shifts to the CZ state when all the assigned AT game numbers (navigation times) are exhausted. In FIG. 34 (8b), the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation order in accordance with the notification of the last operation condition, and the bell symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and the end effect of the AT state is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Is being done. In the end effect of the AT state, the effect image display device 157 displays the total number of AT games consumed (total 10G (game)) and the cumulative number of medals obtained since the start of the AT state (acquired 70). ing. Further, FIG. 34 (8b) shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed since the start of the AT state and remain at 60.

  In FIG. 34 (9b), the game shifts to the CZ state. In FIG. 34 (10b), the last game corresponding to the 32nd game has been started since the CZ state was started. Then, in FIG. 34 (11b), the state has shifted to the non-AT state. FIGS. 34 (9b) to (11b) are the same as FIGS. (9a) to (11a) described above, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 35 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the player loses in the confrontation effect and shifts to the non-AT state.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 35 is an example in which the player loses in a true confrontation effect and shifts to the non-AT state. Hereinafter, description will be made focusing on differences from the example shown in FIG. 34, and redundant description will be omitted.

  FIG. 35 (a1) shows the non-AT state as in FIG. 34 (1). In FIG. 35 (a1), the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55. And “055” is displayed as the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572.

  Subsequently, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 35 (a2), the effect state has shifted from the non-AT state to the confrontation state. FIG. 35 (a2) to FIG. 35 (a3) show the same precursor state as FIGS. 34 (2) to FIG. 34 (3). Also, in FIG. 35 (a4), as in FIG. 34 (4), the state shifts to the confrontation state, and in FIGS. 35 (a4) to (a5), as in FIGS. 34 (4) to (5), The effect image display device 157 displays a confrontation scene of a confrontation animation. Also in this example, if two games are consumed after the transition to the confrontation state, the transition to the pseudo BB state or the AT state is performed as described with reference to FIG. Alternatively, the state shifts to the non-AT state. When shifting to the non-AT state, a scene in which the Lord is defeated is displayed as a win / loss scene following the battle scene. The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35 (a6) displays a scene in which the lord has been defeated. In the scene in which the lord is defeated in the confrontation animation in the true confrontation effect, both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 are still disappearing. That is, unlike the scene in which the lord has won, the display of the effect information display area 1572 does not return.

  In FIG. 35 (a7), the state has shifted from the true confrontation state to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays again the animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. When the transition from the true confrontation state to the non-AT state, that is, the defeat of the true confrontation and the transition to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset, but the first round counter is not reset, and 1 is added. As shown in FIG. 35 (a7), the count value of the first P counter is 0, the count value of the second P counter is also 0, and the point number display PN on the effect image display device 157 is 0. On the other hand, the count values of the first and second lap counters are not shown, but both are 2, and the lap number display LN on the effect image display device 157 is also "second lap". In addition, the display of the character display area 1571 is restored, and one face image tp of the main character like the default character is displayed therein.

  When the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed after shifting to the non-AT state, the count value of the first P counter is incremented by 1 to 1 as shown in FIG. The value also becomes 1, and the point number display PN on the effect image display device 157 is also a display representing 1. The addition of the point number display PN is performed by using the animation of the first additional display ad1 (display of “+1”) and the second additional display ad2 (“+1” described with reference to FIGS. 30 (a2) to (a4). Is displayed), but these animations are omitted here. Further, a zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35 (a8). The zone display here is represented by cross hatching, and the zone display is displayed in a portion of the effect information display area 1572 except for the number-of-laps display LN. By this zone display, it is informed that the number of true confrontation points or the number of false confrontation points is unknown, but it is likely that one of the number of confrontation points will be reached. Note that the count value of the first lap counter and the second lap counter (not shown) remains at 2, and the lap number display LN on the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. is there.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 35 is an example in which the player loses due to a false contest and shifts to the non-AT state. Hereinafter, differences from the example shown in the center of FIG. 33 will be mainly described, and redundant description may be omitted.

  In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 35 (b1), the face image tp of the grandfather character is also displayed in addition to the face image tp of the lord character, which is the default character, and a total of two face images are displayed. . Also, FIG. 35 (b1) shows the non-AT state, and FIG. 35 (b1) also shows that the count value of the first P counter is 55 and the count value of the second P counter is also 55. Then, “055” is displayed as the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572.

  Subsequently, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this example, the chance point mode is set, and the number of false confrontation points is set to 56 points. In FIG. 35 (b2), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 2 points to 57. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 57. The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35 (b2) displays a confrontation animation corresponding to the confrontation state, in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other. The confrontation effect here is also a fake confrontation effect. When the state shifts to the confrontation state, the character display area 1571 disappears, and the face image tp of the lord character and the face image jp of the grandfather character also disappear. On the other hand, the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Here, the point number display PN is already increased by 2 points to “057”. That is, the point number display PN has the same value as the count value of the second P counter. Both the face image tp of the palace character and the face image jp of the grandfather character have disappeared, but the two points that have increased are the added value of the palace character (+1) and the added value of the grandfather character (+1). Is the sum of

  Immediately before FIG. 35 (b3), the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and in the grandfather elimination lottery process of step S132f shown in FIG. 13, the player is elected to delete the face image jp of the grandfather character. Here, the face image jp of the grandfather character was hidden together with the face image tp of the tongue-like character due to the disappearance of the character display area 1571. Was added. However, by winning the grandfather elimination lottery process, the value of the grandfather character is not added in the subsequent point addition.

  In FIG. 35 (b3), the count value of the first P counter is increased by one point to 58. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 58. Further, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 on the display screen of the effect image display device 157 is also “058”. The increment of one point here is the value of the addition of the character of the lord.

  In this example, if two games are consumed after the transition to the confrontation state, the transition to the non-AT state is made. When shifting to the non-AT state, a scene in which the Lord is defeated is displayed as a win / loss scene following the battle scene. The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 35 (b4) displays a scene in which the lord has been defeated. In the scene where the lord is defeated in the confrontation animation in the fake contest, the character display area 1571 is still disappearing, but the display of the effect information display area 1572 is restored.

  Further, immediately before FIG. 35 (b4), the symbol combination of the watermelon is stopped and displayed, and in the shinobi addition lottery process of step S132p shown in FIG. 13, the player wins to additionally display the face image sp of the shinobi character. Here, since the face image of each character has disappeared due to the disappearance of the character display area 1571, the face image sp of the shinobi character is also not displayed. The value is added. In FIG. 35 (b4), the count value of the first P counter is increased by 20 points to 78. The count value of the second P counter has also increased to 78. Further, the point number display PN of the revived effect information display area 1572 is also “078”. Here, the increase of 20 points is a value obtained by increasing the value of the addition of the lord character to 10 points by stopping the display of the watermelon pattern combination, and doubling the 10 points by the ninja. is there.

  The point number display PN in FIG. 35 (b2) is increased by 2 points, the point number display PN in FIG. 35 (b3) is increased by 1 point, and the point number display PN in FIG. 35 (b4) is increased by 20 points. This may be performed by an animation of the second addition display Tad shown in FIG. 33 (b3). Alternatively, if the number of characters has been changed (erased or increased), the character is not displayed, so the player does not know the change in the number of characters, and the animation of the second addition display Tad is displayed. Since the user may be confused instead, the animation of the second addition display Tad may not be displayed.

  In FIG. 35 (b5), the state transitions from the false confrontation state to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays again the animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. When the transition from the false match state to the non-AT state, that is, when the game loses the false match and shifts to the non-AT state, neither the first P counter nor the first lap counter is reset, and the number of points and the number of laps are taken over. As shown in FIG. 35 (b5), the count value of the first P counter is 078, the count value of the second P counter is 078, and the point number display PN on the effect image display device 157 is also 078. Further, although not shown, the count values of the first lap counter and the second lap counter are both 1, and the lap number display LN on the effect image display device 157 is also “first lap”. Further, the display of the character display area 1571 is restored, and in addition to the face image tp of the character of the lord, which is the default character, there is a shinobi that has been additionally displayed after being won in the shinobi additional lottery process. Is also displayed.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the first P counter is reset.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 36 is an example in a case where the setting is changed.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 36 is an example in the non-AT state. The effect image display device 157 continuously displays the animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. . In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 36 (a1), a face image tp of a princess character and a face image jp of a grandfather character are also displayed in addition to the face image tp of the lord-like character, which is the default character. I have. In addition, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, both of which are not shown, are 2, and the lap number display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of “second lap”. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 115 and the count value of the second P counter is also 115, and “115” is displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. Further, a zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. The zone display here is also indicated by cross hatching as in FIG. 35 (a8), and the zone display is displayed in a portion of the effect information display area 1572 except for the number-of-laps display LN.

  In the state shown in FIG. 36 (a1), the front door 102 is opened, the power is temporarily turned off, then a setting change switch (not shown) is operated, and then the power is turned on (power is restored).

  FIG. 36 (a2) is a diagram illustrating a state after the setting is changed. As shown in FIG. 36 (a2), after the setting is changed, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0, the count value of the second P counter is also 0, and the number of points in the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. “000” is displayed in the display PN. Further, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter (not shown) are 0, and the lap number display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of “0 lap”. After the setting change, the count value of the first P counter does not become 0, but a predetermined value other than 0 is set, or a value based on the count value before the setting change (for example, a value obtained by halving 115 (57)), a value selected by lottery from a plurality of values, or an integer portion of a value obtained by halving the selected value. The same applies to the count value of the first circulation counter. Further, in the character display area 1571, the face image hp of the princess character and the face image jp of the grandfather character disappear, and one face image tp of the lord character, which is the default character, is displayed.

  In the first game after the setting change is completed, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. That is, in the non-AT state, it corresponds to the stop of the lost symbol when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is also 0. As described above, the point increase condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16A is not satisfied when the loss symbol stops when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is 0 in the non-AT state. As shown in FIG. 36 (a3), the count value of the first P counter remains at 0, and the count value of the second P counter also remains at 0, even after the losing symbol is stopped. “000” is still displayed in the point number display PN of the area 1572. In addition, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter (not shown) are still 0, and the lap number display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is also displayed as "0 lap". It is.

  Then, in the next game, the symbol combination of the replay is stopped and displayed, the above-mentioned point increasing condition is satisfied, and one point addition is won by the lottery of the point distribution. As shown in FIG. 36 (a4), the count value of the first P counter is 001, and the count value of the second P counter is also 001. Also, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 has changed from the display of “000” to the display of “001”. The addition of the point number display PN is performed by using the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of “+1”) and the second addition display ad2 (described with reference to FIGS. 30 (a2) to (a4)). This is performed by animation), but these animations are omitted here. Further, since the point number display PN has changed to the display of “001”, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572. Also, in the non-AT state, when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is 0, when the first prize other than the loss is made, 1 is added to the count value of the first lap counter, and the count value of the second lap counter is also increased. It becomes 1, and the number-of-laps display LN in the effect information display area 1572 also changes to the display of “first lap”.

  Subsequently, in the next game, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and as shown in FIG. 36 (a5), the count value of the first P counter is incremented by 1 to 002, and the count value of the second P counter is also the same. 002. Also, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 has changed from the display of “001” to the display of “002”. In the effect information display area 1572, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 36 is an example in the case where the state shifts from the CZ state to the non-AT state.

  In FIG. 36 (b1), the CZ state ends. As shown in FIG. 36 (a2), the count value of the first P counter at the end of the CZ state is 115, and the count value of the second P counter is also 115. In the CZ state, the effect information display area 1572 is not displayed, and the point number display PN is not displayed. Although not shown here, the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter are both 2, but the lap number display LN is not displayed.

  In FIG. 36 (b2), a transition has been made to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. Immediately after shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the count value of the first P counter is reset to 0, the count value of the second P counter is also 0, and the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 is displayed. Is displayed as “000”. Further, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter (not shown) are 0, and the lap number display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of “0 lap”. Immediately after shifting from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the count value of the first P counter does not become 0, but is set to a predetermined value other than 0, or a value based on the count value before the setting change (for example, , 115 (57)), a value selected by lottery from a plurality of values, or an integer portion of a value obtained by halving the selected value. May be set. The same applies to the count value of the first circulation counter. Further, in the character display area 1571, one face image tp of the main character like the default character is displayed.

  In the first game after the transition to the non-AT state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. That is, in the non-AT state, it corresponds to the stop of the lost symbol when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is also 0. Also in this case, the point increase condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16A is not satisfied, and as shown in FIG. 36B3, the count value of the first P counter remains 0 even after the loss symbol stops. The count value of the second P counter also remains at 0, and the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 still displays “000”. In addition, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter (not shown) are still 0, and the lap number display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is also displayed as "0 lap". It is.

  Then, in the next game, the symbol combination of the replay is stopped and displayed, the above-mentioned point increasing condition is satisfied, and one point addition is won by the lottery of the point distribution. As shown in FIG. 36 (b4), the count value of the first P counter is 001, and the count value of the second P counter is also 001. Also, the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 has changed from the display of “000” to the display of “001”. The addition of the point number display PN is performed by using the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of “+1”) and the second addition display ad2 (described with reference to FIGS. 30 (a2) to (a4)). This is performed by animation), but these animations are omitted here. Further, since the point number display PN has changed to the display of “001”, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572. Also, in the non-AT state, when the number of laps is 0 and the number of points is 0, when the first prize other than the loss is made, 1 is added to the count value of the first lap counter, and the count value of the second lap counter is also increased. It becomes 1, and the number-of-laps display LN in the effect information display area 1572 also changes to the display of “first lap”.

  FIG. 37 is a diagram illustrating an example in which power is restored after a power failure. 37 are all in the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 37 is an example in which power is cut off and power is restored in a state where the zone display is not displayed.

  In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 37 (a1), one face image tp of a lord character, which is a default character, is displayed. In addition, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, both of which are not shown, are 2, and the lap number display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of “second lap”. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 115 and the count value of the second P counter is also 115, and “115” is displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. The zone display is not displayed in the effect information display area 1572 of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 37 (a1).

  In the state shown in FIG. 37 (a1), a power interruption occurs, but the power is immediately restored. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37 (a1) and the power is turned on the next morning.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (a2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is 115, which is the same as the count value at the time of power failure, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, and the effect information "000" is also displayed in the point number display PN of the display area 1572. Further, the count value of the first lap counter (not shown) is 2, which is the same as the count value at the time of power interruption, but the count value of the second lap counter is 0, and the lap number display LN is also “0 lap”. Is displayed.

  In the first game after the power is restored, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In other words, it corresponds to the stop of the lost symbol when the value of the first P counter is not 0 and the value of the first circulation counter is not 0 even in the non-AT state. Therefore, the point increase condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16A is satisfied, and as shown in FIG. 37A3, the count value of the first P counter is incremented by 1 to 156. However, as described above, when the power is restored, the point increase command for each character is not transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 until a winning combination other than the loss is won. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 37 (a3), the count value of the second P counter remains 0, and the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 also keeps displaying “000”, and the display is increased. It will not be done.

  In the second game after the power is restored, the symbol combination of the replay is stopped and displayed. As shown in FIG. 37 (a4), the count value of the first P counter is further increased by 1 to 157. In addition, in step S134 (c) shown in FIG. 16A, a point increase command of the character of the lord indicating that one point is increased due to the winning of a role other than the losing is prepared, and step S211 shown in FIG. Is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission processing of. As a result, the count value of the second P counter becomes 1 by adding 1 to the previous value of 0, and the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. Have been. The addition of the point number display PN is performed by using the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of “+1”) and the second addition display ad2 (described with reference to FIGS. 30 (a2) to (a4)). This is performed by animation), but these animations are omitted here. Further, since the point number display PN has changed to the display of “001”, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572.

  In addition, the number of laps also includes adding a value of 1 to the point increase command due to the first prize other than the loss after the power failure occurs and the power is restored, and the second lap counter (not shown) The count value also becomes 1 by adding 1 to the previous value of 0, and the number-of-turns display LN of the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG.

  The example shown in the center of FIG. 37 is an example in which the power is cut off and the power is restored while the zone display is displayed. In the following, description will be made focusing on differences from the example shown on the left side of FIG.

  In the character display area 1571 shown in FIG. 37 (b1), one face image tp of the main character, the default character, is displayed. In addition, both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, both of which are not shown, are 2, and the lap number display LN in the effect information display area 1572 is a display of “second lap”. Further, it is shown that the count value of the first P counter is 35 and the count value of the second P counter is also 35, and “35” is displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 35, the effect information display area 1572 displays a zone display represented by cross hatching.

  In the state shown in FIG. 37 (b1), a power interruption occurs, but the power is restored immediately. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37 (b1) and the power is turned on the next morning.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (b2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is 35, which is the same as the count value at the time of power failure, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, and the production information "000" is also displayed in the point number display PN of the display area 1572. Further, since the count value of the second P counter is 0, the zone display represented by cross hatching is not displayed in the effect information display area 1572. Further, the count value of the first lap counter (not shown) is 2, which is the same as the count value at the time of power failure, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, and the lap number display LN is also “0th lap”. Is displayed.

  In the first game after the power is restored, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, but the point increase condition in step S134a shown in FIG. 16A is satisfied, and as shown in FIG. 37B3. , The count value of the first P counter is 36 by adding 1. However, also in this case, since the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the point increase command is not transmitted to the first sub control unit 400, and the count value of the second P counter remains 0 as shown in FIG. 37 (b3). Yes, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 is still displayed as “000”.

  In the second game after the power is restored, the symbol combination of the replay is stopped and displayed. As shown in FIG. 37 (b4), the count value of the first P counter is further increased by 1 to become 37. In addition, by winning a role other than a loss, a point increase command is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400, the count value of the second P counter becomes 1, and the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. "001" is also displayed as the point number display PN. The addition of the point number display PN here also includes the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of “+1”) and the second addition described with reference to FIGS. 30 (a2) to (a4). This is performed by a display ad2 (display of “+1”) animation, but these animations are omitted here. Further, since the point number display PN has changed to the display of “001”, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572.

  Regarding the number of laps, the first prize other than the loss, the count value of the second lap counter (not shown) becomes 1, and the lap number display LN of the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. “First lap” is displayed.

  Thereafter, a plurality of games are consumed in a state where one face image tp of the main character like the default character is displayed in the character display area 1571, and the count of the first P counter is counted as shown in FIG. The value becomes 101, and the count value of the second P counter becomes 65. Looking at the presence or absence of the zone display shown in FIG. 27C, if the count value is 101, the zone display should be displayed. However, the presence or absence of the zone display is determined by the count value of the second P counter. In the state of FIG. 37 (b5), since the count value of the second P counter is 65, no zone display is displayed, and a zone display is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37 (b) 5. Absent.

  The example shown in the upper half on the right side of FIG. 37 is an example in which power is cut off and power is restored in a state where two face images of the character are displayed. Hereinafter, differences from the example illustrated on the left side of FIG. 37 will be mainly described, and redundant description will be omitted.

  In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 37 (c1), a face image tp of a princess character as well as a face image tp of a lord character, which is a default character, is displayed, and a total of two face images are displayed. As described in the description of FIG. 13, an additional flag is prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 for each character other than the palace, which is a default character. In the state of FIG. 37 (c1), the princess addition flag is set to ON.

  In the state shown in FIG. 37 (c1), a power interruption occurs, but the power is immediately restored. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37 (c1) and the power is turned on the next morning.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (c2), in the character display area 1571 after the power recovery, only the face image tp of the lord character, which is the default character, is displayed, and the face of the princess character displayed at the time of the power failure is displayed. The image hp is not displayed. However, the princess addition flag prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is set to ON. As shown in FIG. 37 (c2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is 115, which is the same as the count value at the time of power failure, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, "000" is also displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572.

  In the first game after the power is restored, the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed, and as shown in FIG. 37 (c3), the count value of the first P counter is obtained by adding 11 to the value of 115 so far. 126. Here, the added 11 points is a value obtained by adding 1 point for the lord and 10 points for the princess. On the other hand, the count value of the second P counter is obtained by adding only one point for the pattern to the previous value of zero. This is because, as described above, for characters other than the default character that is the main character, steps S352b and S352c shown in FIG. 27A are executed only for characters for which the addition flag is set to ON. It depends. That is, since the additional flag of the princess is turned off due to the power interruption and power recovery, in step S352b and step S352c, even if the point increase command for the princess character is transmitted, it is not processed, and the princess character is not processed. Since only the point increase command has been processed, only one point for the palace is added to the count value of the second P counter. One point is added to the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 in FIG. 37 (c3) in accordance with the count value of the second P counter to be “001”. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 1, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37 (c3).

  The addition of the point number display PN here also includes the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of “+1”) and the second addition described with reference to FIGS. 30 (a2) to (a4). This is performed by a display ad2 (display of “+1”) animation, but these animations are omitted here.

  The example shown in the lower half on the right side of FIG. 37 is an example in which power is cut off and power is restored in a state where three face images of the character are displayed. Hereinafter, differences from the example shown in the upper half on the right side of FIG. 37 will be mainly described, and redundant description may be omitted.

  In the character display area 1571 in FIG. 37 (d1), a face image tp of a princess character face and a face image sp of a shinobi character are displayed in addition to the face image tp of the lord character, which is the default character, and a total of three face images are displayed. A face image is displayed.

  In the state shown in FIG. 37 (d1), a power interruption occurs, but the power is immediately restored. The same applies when the power is turned off in the state shown in FIG. 37 (d1) and the power is turned on the next morning.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (d2), in the character display area 1571 after the power recovery, only the face image tp of the lord character, which is the default character, is displayed, and the face of the princess character displayed at the time of the power failure is displayed. The image hp and the face image sp of the Shinobu character are not displayed. However, the princess addition flag and the shinobi addition flag prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 are set to ON. Further, as shown in FIG. 37 (d2), the count value of the first P counter after power recovery is 115, which is the same as the count value at the time of power failure, but the count value of the second P counter is 0, "000" is also displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572.

  In the first game after the power is restored, the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed, and as shown in FIG. 37 (d3), the count value of the first P counter is obtained by adding 22 to the value of 115 so far. 137. Here, the added 22 points is a value obtained by doubling the 1 point for the lord and the 10 points for the princess by ninja. On the other hand, the count value of the second P counter is obtained by adding only one point for the pattern to the previous value of zero. One point is added to the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 in FIG. 37 (d3) according to the count value of the second P counter to be “001”. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 1, a zone display represented by cross hatching is displayed in the effect information display area 1572 shown in FIG. 37 (c3).

  The addition of the point number display PN here also includes the animation of the first addition display ad1 (display of “+1”) and the second addition described with reference to FIGS. 30 (a2) to (a4). This is performed by a display ad2 (display of “+1”) animation, but these animations are omitted here.

  FIG. 38 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the count value of the second P counter matches the count value of the first P counter after power is restored.

  FIGS. 38 (1) to (4) are the same as FIGS. 37 (a1) to (a4) except that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are different. Therefore, the description is omitted. In addition, from FIG. 38 (5), the description will focus on the differences from the example shown in FIG. 34, and duplicate description will be omitted.

  In this example, the number of true confrontation points is set to 138 points. For this reason, in the next game, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed, and when the count value of the first P counter increases by one point to 138, the effect state shifts to the battle sign state. However, as shown in FIG. 38 (4), the value of the point number display PN in the effect information display area 1572 is 001, and the player who sees this value thinks that it has shifted to the confrontation effect with a small number of points. The illusion is that the pull is strong. As a result, the interest of the player in the game may be enhanced.

  The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38 (5) displays an animation of the lord holding a sword, corresponding to the sign-for-confrontation state, and a character display of “sign-for-confrontation effect” is displayed at the upper right of the display screen. ing. Further, when the state shifts to the precursor sign state, both the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 have disappeared. In FIG. 38 (5), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each increased by one point, the count value of the first P counter is 138, and the count value of the second P counter is 2.

  The lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed even in the first game after shifting to the battle precursor state, and in FIG. 38 (6), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are further increased by one point, and The count value of the 1P counter is 139, and the count value of the second P counter is 3.

  The lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed in the game for the second time after the transition to the confrontation state, and in this example, when the two games are exhausted after the transition to the confrontation state, the game shifts to the confrontation state. On the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38 (7), a confrontation animation in which the lord and the enemy swordsman confront each other corresponding to the confrontation state is displayed. It has been done. Here, the confrontation effect is a true confrontation effect. The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38 (7) displays a confrontation scene of a confrontation animation. In FIG. 38 (7), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are each increased by one point, the count value of the first P counter is 140, and the count value of the second P counter is 4.

  In the first game after the transition to the confrontation state, the lost symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In FIG. 38 (8), the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter are increased by one point, respectively. Is 141, and the count value of the second P counter is 5. Eventually, the second game is started after the transition to the confrontation state, and the symbol combination (pseudo BB symbol) of the replay symbol 2 which is the replay symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38 (9) displays a scene where the lord has won. In the confrontation sign state and the true confrontation state, the effect information display area 1572 has disappeared along with the character display area 1571, but the display of the effect information display area 1572 has been restored in the scene where the lord has won. Note that the character display area 1571 still disappears. In FIG. 38 (9), the count value of the first P counter is further increased by one point, and the count value of the first P counter is 142. In addition, since the pseudo BB symbol is stopped and displayed, in step S196e shown in FIG. 24, the transmission preparation of the first P counter value command including the count value of the first P counter (here, 142) is performed. The counter value command is transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process in step S211 shown in FIG. As a result, in FIG. 38 (9), the count value of the second P counter becomes 142 which is the same as the count value of the first P counter, and “142” is also displayed in the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572. . Although a different value (false value) has been reported to the player after the power recovery, the count value of the first P counter (true value) is reported. In addition, since the count value of the second P counter is 142, the effect information display area 1572 displays a zone display represented by cross hatching. Further, the first P counter value command also includes the value of the first lap command, and both the count value of the first lap counter and the count value of the second lap counter, both of which are not shown, are 2, The number-of-turns display LN in the display area 1572 is a display of “second turn”.

  Here, the count value of the first P counter is determined by displaying the scene where the lord has won, that is, determining the transition to the pseudo BB state (step S193 (i) shown in FIG. 22 and step S196 (c) shown in FIG. 24). Although the (true value) is notified, the count value (true) of the first P counter is also obtained when the transition to the AT state is determined (step S193 (m) shown in FIG. 22 and step S196 (g) shown in FIG. 24). Is reported. Further, the count value (true value) of the first P counter may be notified by winning a specific combination (for example, a chance).

  In FIG. 38 (10), the state is shifted to the pseudo BB1 state, and an animation in which the lord is lifted up corresponding to the pseudo BB state is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. In the pseudo BB state, the effect information display area 1572 disappears again, and the character display area 1571 and the effect information display area 1572 are not displayed. On the other hand, the effect of the operation condition notification is executed, and the stop buttons 137 to 139 are operated in the correct operation order according to the operation condition notification. As a result, the symbol combination of the bell is stopped and displayed, and medals are paid out. The pseudo BB1 state shifts to the CZ state when 20 games are consumed. In FIG. 38 (11), the symbol stop of the twentieth game is performed, and the effect image display device 157 performs the end effect of the pseudo BB state. In addition, FIG. 38 (11) shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed since the scene where the lord won is displayed, and remain at 142. Have been.

  In FIG. 38 (12), the state shifts to the CZ state, and the animation of the lord running in the wilderness corresponding to the CZ state is displayed on the display screen of the effect image display device 157. Even in the CZ state, neither the character display area 1571 nor the effect information display area 1572 is displayed.

  Also in this example, the final game corresponding to the 32nd game from the start of the CZ state is started without winning the AT lottery, without winning the pseudo BB lottery and stopping and displaying the pseudo BB symbol, On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 38 (13), it is displayed that the number of remaining games until the transition to the non-AT state is 0. Also, FIG. 38 (13a) shows that the count value of the first P counter and the count value of the second P counter have not changed and remain at 142.

  In FIG. (14) following FIG. 38 (13), the state shifts from the CZ state to the non-AT state, and the effect image display device 157 displays an animation corresponding to the non-AT state in which the palace and grandfather are in the palace in the castle. Is displayed. When the state shifts from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset, and as shown in FIG. 38 (14), the count value of the first P counter is 0 and the count value of the second P counter is also 0. In addition, the count value of the first circulation counter (not shown) is also reset to zero, and the count value of the second circulation counter is also zero. On the display screen of the effect image display device 157 shown in FIG. 34 (11a), the display of the character display area 1571 and the display of the effect information display area 1572 are restored, and the character display area 1571 displays the face of the lord character. One image tp is displayed, the point number display PN of the effect information display area 1572 is a display representing 0, and the number-of-laps display LN is also a display representing the 0th lap.

  As described above, when the state shifts from the CZ state to the non-AT state, the first P counter is reset, and the count value of the first P counter becomes 0. However, at the time of the shift to the confrontation state (FIG. 38 (5)). , The first P counter may be reset. By doing so, the player may be able to know the increased points from the battle precursor state to the battle state. In addition, the advantage of the pseudo BB (for example, the difference in the number of games in which the pseudo BB continues) may be changed at a point increased during the period from the start of the confrontation state to the end of the confrontation state.

  FIG. 39 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the effect example described above is applied to a pachinko machine.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 39 is an example of an animation in which the point display increases.

  FIG. 39 (a1) shows a decorative symbol display device 208 for performing a variable display of decorative symbols. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 39 (a1), a variable display of the decorative symbol of the special figure 1 is displayed. A character display area 1571 is also provided on the left side of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, and an effect information display area 1572 is provided thereunder. In the effect information display area 1572, a point number display PN and a lap number display LN are displayed. A change icon ci is displayed beside the effect information display area 1572, and a hold icon hi is displayed beside the change icon ci. The change icon ci is larger than the hold icon hi and has a different display mode. In this example, the display mode is hatched leftward. The change icon ci is an icon that is displayed after the reservation is exhausted and the special figure variable game is started and that corresponds to the special figure variable game. That is, the hold icon hi becomes the change icon ci simultaneously with the start of the special figure change game corresponding to the hold icon hi. The change icon ci is basically erased at the timing when the result of the change is notified, and can be regarded as an icon relating to the hold. In the sense that the notification of the result of the change in the special figure change game is held, the change icon ci is held. You can think of it as a kind of icon. The erasure timing of the variable icon may be a timing before, a same timing as, or a timing after the timing at which the result of the change is notified. .

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 39 (a1), the decorative symbol is fluctuated and displayed. In addition, at the right end of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, in order from the top, the reserved number display of the special figure 1 (here, “3”) is lit in gray to notify that the special figure 1 is changing. The fourth symbol of the special figure 1 that is being displayed, the reserved number display of the special figure 2 (here, “3”), the black color is turned off to indicate that the special figure 2 is being stopped. Four symbols, the number of reserved ordinary symbols ("0" in this case), and the fourth symbol of the ordinary symbol which is turned off in black and informing that the ordinary symbol is stopped are displayed.

  In FIG. 39 (a2), the variation display of the decorative symbols is finished, and the combination of the lost decorative symbols (decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 6) is stopped and displayed. When the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the animation of the first addition display ad1 has been started. That is, the first addition display ad1 (here, “+1” is displayed) appears from the face image tp of the lord character, and a part of the face image tp is overlapped by the first addition display ad1. , The face image tp is more difficult to view than before the first addition display ad1 appears.

  FIGS. 39 (a2) to (a5) correspond to the fixed display of the decorative pattern, and in FIG. 39 (a2), the first addition display ad1 moves in a direction away from the face image tp of the lord character. ing. The first addition amount display ad1 increases in transparency while moving, and the first addition amount display ad1 shown in FIG. 39 (a3) is disappearing. On the other hand, in the effect information display area 1572, the animation of the second addition display ad2 has been started. That is, in the effect information display area 1572, the second addition display ad2 (here, “+1” is displayed) appears. The second addition display ad2 shown in FIG. 39 (a3) is not disappearing but is displayed firmly. The second addition display ad2 moves in a direction approaching the point number display PN, and the transparency increases while moving. The second addition display ad2 becomes part of the point number display PN (display of “056”) shown in FIG. The overlapped second addition display ad2 is disappearing. In FIG. 39 (a4), the first addition display ad1 has completely disappeared.

  In FIG. 39 (a5), the second addition display ad2 completely disappears, and the point number display PN is “057” representing the same value as the count value of the second P counter. That is, the point number display PN is changed to a display in which one point is added.

  The example shown on the left side of FIG. 39 described above is an example in which the increase point is added every time the fluctuation is stopped. However, even if it is added during the fluctuation, during the pseudo stop of the pseudo consecutive notice, during the reach, and during the SP reach, Frequently, upon reaching the prescribed point, a privilege (for example, reach, SP reach, small hit, big hit, wallpaper, music, etc.) may be given to the player.

  The example shown in the center of FIG. 39 is an example in which a point increase notice is made using the change icon. In the following, description will be made focusing on differences from the example shown on the left side of FIG. 39, and redundant description will be omitted.

  The change icon ci shown in FIG. 39 (b1) has a different display form from the change icon ci shown in FIG. 39 (a1), and the numeral 5 is displayed in hatching falling to the left. The display of the number 5 is the addition in the animation of the addition display, which is started when the currently performed decorative pattern is stopped and displayed, that is, the increase in the number of points displayed in the point number display PN. Is displayed in advance. In the pachinko machine, the point increase setting process in step S134b shown in FIG.

  In addition, for the reserved portion, it is possible to perform a look-ahead in the point increase setting process in response to a ball entering the special figure starting port. The first and second holding icons hi from the left shown in FIG. 39 (b1) have different display modes from the other holding icons hi, and the first holding icon hi from the left displays a numeral 10 and the left from the left. The number 20 is displayed on the second hold icon hi. The number displayed on the hold icon is a look-ahead notice that indicates an increase in the number of points that will increase when the hold of the hold icon hi is exhausted and the symbol is stopped.

  In FIG. 39 (b2), the variation display of the decorative symbols is finished, and the combination of the lost decorative symbols (decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 6) is stopped and displayed. Further, the change icon ci has been deleted. When the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the animation of the first additional display ad1 is started, and the display of “+5” appears as the first additional display ad1. That is, the number displayed on the fluctuation icon ci appears as the first addition display ad1.

  Thereafter, the same as the example shown on the left side of FIG. 39 except that the numbers of the first addition display “ad1” and the second addition display “ad2” are different (in this example, “+5” instead of “+1”). Therefore, the description is omitted.

  If there is a big hit in the hold as a result of the pre-reading, zone display may be always performed separately from arrival at the point, or may be performed at a predetermined probability.

  The example shown on the right side of FIG. 39 is an example of a point increase animation using a change icon. Hereinafter, differences from the example shown on the left side of FIG. 39 and the example shown in the center will be mainly described, and redundant description will be omitted.

  The change icon ci shown in FIG. 39 (c1) is also a display mode in which a numeral of 5 is displayed in hatching on the lower left, and indicates an increase in the number of points displayed on the point number display PN. Further, the first holding icon hi from the left is a display form of a look-ahead notice that gives a notice of increasing by 10 points when the holding of the holding icon hi is exhausted and the symbol stop is performed. Is a display mode of a pre-reading advance notice that gives an advance notice of an increase of 20 points.

  In FIG. 39 (c2), the variation display of the decorative symbols is completed, and the combination of the lost decorative symbols (decoration 6-decoration 1-decoration 6) is stopped and displayed. When the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the animation of the first additional display ad1 is started, and the first additional display ad1 (here, “+1” is displayed) appears. In addition, the change icon ci that gives a notice of increasing by 5 points has finished its role as a change icon, and has begun to move in a direction approaching the point number display PN as one of the second addition displays. Hereinafter, this icon is referred to as a second addition icon adi. The five points of the second addition icon idi may be an increase of the character of the lord, or may be an increase of the second addition icon idi itself, which is irrelevant to the character of the lord.

  The first addition display ad1 shown in FIG. 39 (c3) is about to disappear. On the other hand, on the effect information display area 1572 side, a second addition display ad2 (here, “+1” is displayed) appears. The second addition icon adi and the second addition display ad2 overlap, and in FIG. 39 (c4), a part of the point number display PN (display of “056”) and the second addition icon adi are displayed. , The second addition display ad2 overlaps. In addition, the transmittance of both the second addition icon idi and the second addition display ad2 is increased.

  In FIG. 39 (c5), the second addition icon idi and the second addition display ad2 completely disappear, and the point number display PN shows that 56 points have been added by 6 points, and the count value of the second P counter has "062" indicating the same value as "."
