A bonus determination performance is executed when the reel 2R is stopped first and a special display mode is derived after execution of a strong rare winning combination winning suggestive performance, and a bonus determination performance is not executed even if a pattern for composing a strong rare winning combination winning pattern combination is derived when the reel 2R is not stopped first after execution of a strong rare winning combination winning suggestive performance and a reel other than the reel 2R is stopped first, and a bonus determination performance is executed at timing after a special display mode is derived at least in the reel 2R.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Description

  The present invention includes a plurality of variable display units capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and after variably displaying the variable display unit, deriving the display result by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. However, the present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a winning according to a combination of display results which is a combination of display results of a plurality of variable display portions.

  A slot machine generally has a variable display section having reels on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer peripheral portion, and by operating a start switch with a prescribed bet number set, The reel starts to rotate, and when the stop switch is operated to stop the rotation of the reel, a predetermined symbol combination on the winning line (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter, the symbol combination is a combination of the display results, or A prize is generated by deriving a winning combination.

  The types of winning combinations include small winning combinations, special winning combinations, and re-playing combinations. Here, when the display result corresponding to the small winning combination is derived on the winning line, the number of medals determined for each kind of small winning combination is paid out. When the display result corresponding to the special combination is derived on the pay line, the game state can be shifted to a special game state such as a regular bonus (RB) or a big bonus (BB) which is advantageous to the player. When the display result corresponding to the replay combination is derived on the pay line, the next game can be played without consuming a new medal for setting the bet number.

  As such a slot machine, there is a slot machine that executes an effect that suggests the winning combination when a winning combination such as cherry lip or watermelon that wins when the stop switch is operated in a specific procedure is won (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP, 2017-192661, A

  In the above slot machine, when the winning of the winning combination is decided by the pre-determining means and the effect suggesting the decision result is executed, the player performs an operation in the operation mode corresponding to the decision result, but the game is There was room for improvement in that it tends to be monotonous.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a slot machine capable of improving the enjoyment of a game, with respect to an effect that suggests the determination result of the pre-determining means.

Equipped with a plurality of variable display units that can variably display multiple types of identification information, each of which can be identified,
After the variable display is variably displayed, the variable display of the variable display is stopped to derive the display result, and the winning can be generated according to the display result combination which is the combination of the display results of the plurality of variable display units. In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1),
Predetermination means for determining a display result combination that allows derivation (for example, an internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 41, a first internal lottery process in the modification),
A plurality of derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result combination,
And a derivation control unit (for example, a reel control process executed by the main control unit 41) for performing control for deriving the display result combination,
The derivation control means, of the plurality of variable display portions, when the determination result of the pre-determination means is a specific determination result (for example, strong cherry winning) that can be advantageous to the player (for example, BB winning). It is possible to derive a specific display result combination in which the display result of the specific variable display portion (for example, the right reel) is the specific display result (for example, a combination of winning symbols with a strong rare combination) (for example, simultaneous winning with BB is possible). When a strong cherry with a certain nature is won, it is possible to derive a strong rare winning combination symbol combination in which the right reel has a specific result).
By the time a display result is derived on any of the plurality of variable display units, suggestive production (for example, a strong rare hand winning suggestive production) that suggests that the specific display result combination can be derived can be executed. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8, by the time a symbol is derived on any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R (any reel is stopped), a strong rare winning combination symbol combination can be derived. It is possible to execute a strong rare role winning suggestion production that suggests that),
When the variable display of the specific variable display unit is first stopped and the specific display result is derived after the suggestive effect is executed, it is possible to execute an effect at the time of derivation (for example, a bonus fixed effect). As shown in FIG. 8, when the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is executed, the bonus confirmation effect can be executed when the right reel first stops and the special result is derived.) ,
When the variable display other than the specific variable display section first stops without the variable display of the specific variable display section first stopping after the suggestion effect is executed, the specific display result on the variable display section Even when the display result forming the combination is derived, the derivation time effect is not executed, and the derivation time effect is executed at least at a timing after the specific display result is derived on the specific variable display section. It is possible (for example, as shown in FIG. 8, if the right reel does not stop first and the reels other than the right reel stop first when the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is executed, the reels are Even when the symbols composing the strong rare winning combination are derived, the bonus confirmation effect is not executed, but at least the timing after the special reel can be derived to the right reel In to run the bonus established production).

  Modes for carrying out a slot machine according to the present invention will be described below based on Examples. In the following embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a slot machine will be described. FIG. 1A is a front view of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a diagram showing an example of a main internal configuration of the slot machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 that displays an image, an LED 52 that lights or blinks, and a speaker 53 that outputs a sound. The transparent window 3 is formed below the liquid crystal display 51. The player can visually recognize the reels 2L, 2C, 2R arranged side by side inside the slot machine 1 through the see-through window 3.

  On each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, symbols, which are a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified, are arranged in a predetermined order. Below the see-through window 3, a start switch 7 operated when starting a game (game) and a stop switch operated to stop the rotation of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R and derive a display result. 8L, 8C, 8R are provided. A reel LED 55 for irradiating the reels 2L, 2C, 2R with light from the rear surface is provided on the rear surfaces of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. The reel LED 55 is composed of 12 LEDs corresponding to three consecutive symbols on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, and each symbol can be independently illuminated.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, inside the slot machine 1, there is provided a main controller 41 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands in accordance with the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 includes a main CPU 41a that performs various controls related to the progress of the game, and a RAM 41c that stores various data related to the progress of the game. The main control unit 41 detects an operation on the start switch 7 and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and controls the progress of the game according to the detected operation.

  Inside the slot machine 1, a sub-control unit 91 that controls an effect according to a command from the main control unit 41 is provided. The sub-control unit 91 includes a sub CPU 91a that performs various control related to the effect, and a RAM 91c that stores various data related to the effect. The sub control unit 91 controls the display of an image on the liquid crystal display 51, the sound output of the speaker 53, and the lighting mode of the LED 52 and the reel LED 55 based on the command from the main control unit 41. The effect data used for the image display of the liquid crystal display 51, the sound output of the speaker 53, and the lighting output of the LED 52 and the reel LED 55 are stored in the RAM 91c.

  When playing a game in the slot machine 1, the player sets a specified number of bets (three in the present embodiment) by inserting medals into a medal inserting unit (not shown) or operating a BET switch (not shown). To do. As a result, the pay line LN becomes valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 becomes valid so that the game can be started. The winning line is a line for determining whether or not the symbol combination on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R displayed on the see-through window 3 matches the winning symbol combination.

  When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate. At this time, an internal lottery is performed by the main controller 41. The internal lottery is a process of determining a symbol combination (display result) that is permitted to be derived. Allowing the derivation of the symbol combination by the internal lottery is also referred to as winning the winning combination corresponding to the symbol combination. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped. As a result, the symbol combination is derived and displayed in the see-through window 3.

  The operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R includes the order of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (pushing order) and the timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (operation timing). Of the operations on the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R for stopping the rotation of the reels, the operation for stopping the rotation of the first reel is the first stop operation and the operation for stopping the rotation of the second reel. This operation is also referred to as a second stop operation and the operation for stopping the rotation of the third reel is also referred to as a third stop operation. The stop switch 8L is also called a left stop switch, the stop switch 8C is also called a middle stop switch, the stop switch 8R is also called a right stop switch, the reel 2L is also called a left reel, the reel 2C is called a middle reel, and the reel 2R is called a right reel. The switch stop operation is also called a left stop operation, the middle stop switch stop operation is also called a middle stop operation, and the right stop switch stop operation is also called a right stop operation. On the winning line LN, when the symbol combination that matches the symbol combination of the winning combination is stopped, the winning corresponding to the winning combination is generated.

  The symbols (display results) that are derived and displayed on the pay line LN can be selected from the symbols displayed on the pay line LN when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and 4 frames from that. It is a total of 5 symbols of the symbols so far. When the specified number of bets (for example, 3) is set, the pay line LN is activated and the game is ready to start.

  When a combination of winning symbols is stopped on the winning line LN and a winning occurs, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player according to the winning and a credit is added, or the maximum number of credits (50). ) Is reached, the medals are paid out from the medal payout exit.

  The "game" in the slot machine 1 is, in a narrow sense, from the time when the start switch 7 is operated to the time when all reels are stopped. However, when playing a game, the bet number setting before the operation of the start switch 7 is set. Also, since all the reels are stopped and medals are paid out and the game state is changed, these incidental processes are also broadly included in the “game”.

  As a winning combination, a special winning combination (bonus), a small winning combination, and a re-gaming winning combination are provided. The bonus is a role in which the gaming state is controlled to be a bonus state in which the probability of winning a small winning combination is higher than that in the non-bonus state by winning. The small role is a role to which a medal is given by winning the prize. The re-play role (replay) is a role in which, by winning the prize, the next game can be started without consuming medals owned by the player.

  A big bonus (also referred to as “BB”) is provided as a bonus state. Each of the bonuses ends when a predetermined number of medals or more are paid out. The winning flag, which is set when the bonus is won, is carried over across the games until the winning of the winning bonus occurs. In the present embodiment, if the bonus win has been carried over from the previous game or before and the small win or re-game win is won, or if the bonus is won at the same time as the small win or re-game win, the winning small win The reel control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to or the re-play combination is preferentially drawn onto the pay line LN. That is, the small winning combination and the replaying winning combination can be won in preference to the bonus. The reel control may be performed so that the bonus can be preferentially won rather than the small winning combination and the re-playing combination.

  The main control unit 41 can control any of a plurality of RT states in which the replay wins with a predetermined winning probability. The RT state includes an advantageous RT and a disadvantageous RT. The winning probability of replay is set so that the advantageous RT is higher than the disadvantage RT. The transition between RTs is made when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, the state may be controlled to an AT (assist time) having a performance related to an instruction function (navigation) for instructing the player how to operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Further, the main control unit 41 can control the ART controlled by both the AT and the advantageous RT. The operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R include the order of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (operation procedure, pressing order) and the timing of operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R (operation timing). included. For example, when controlled by an AT, a number or an alphabet is not shown as the operation information corresponding to the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R until the assigned AT game number (for example, 50 games) is exhausted. The 7-segment display is displayed on the auxiliary display or the liquid crystal display 51 is displayed. When a player wins a winning combination for navigation, he or she operates the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R in accordance with the operation information notified by the navigation, thereby winning a winning combination for giving more medals, It is possible to win a winning combination that controls a more advantageous state or avoid winning a winning combination that controls a more unfavorable state. Therefore, by being controlled by the AT, the player can easily obtain more medals, so that the player expects that the AT is controlled and the AT is controlled for as long as possible. Proceed.

  The main control unit 41 executes a process for determining whether or not to grant the privilege when the specific condition is satisfied. The bonus includes the above-mentioned bonus and AT. The specific condition is satisfied by winning a predetermined combination. The predetermined combination includes a rare combination. Rare roles include cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry) and watermelon.

[Reel control]
In the reel control performed by the main control unit 41, the reel 2L, which corresponds to the operation, is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (for example, 190 ms (milliseconds)) after the operation of each of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. Control for stopping the rotation of 2C and 2R is performed. The reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 (rotation) × 21 (the number of symbol frames per reel, for example, 21 frames) = 1680 symbols are varied, so a predetermined maximum By the time the stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, symbols for up to 4 frames are drawn onto the pay line LN. In other words, in reel control, the symbols displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the symbols up to four frames ahead of them, a total of five symbols (drawing range), are one symbol. Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2R, 2R.

  Thus, in the reel control, the main control unit 41 wins in the internal lottery when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. If the symbols constituting the winning combination are within the pull-in range from the symbol when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated up to four frames ahead, pull the symbol onto the pay line LN to stop the switch. While the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R in which 8L, 8C, 8R has been operated is stopped, when the symbols constituting the winning combination winning in the internal lottery are not within the drawing range, It is possible to pull in a symbol that does not form a winning combination onto the winning line LN and control the rotation of the reel whose stop switch is operated to stop.

[Transition of game state]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the game state. The main controller 41 can control a plurality of types of gaming states. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the gaming state includes disadvantage RT, advantage RT, inside, and BB. In the following, the state of being controlled to the disadvantageous RT or the advantageous RT is also referred to as “normal”.

  Further, the main controller 41 can control a plurality of types of gaming states during BB. As a game state in the BB, a BB initial state (also simply referred to as “initial state”) and a plurality of types of RBs are provided. The plurality of types of RBs include RB1 and RB2.

  The advantageous RT is a gaming state in which the replay winning probability in the internal lottery is higher than the replay winning probability in the unfavorable RT. When the promotion condition (for example, the prize for promotion replay) is established in the unfavorable RT, the advantageous RT is controlled. On the other hand, when a falling condition (for example, winning of a falling replay or derivation of a transition outcome) is established in the advantageous RT, the advantageous RT is controlled. Further, as described above, it is possible to control the ART controlled by the AT as well as the advantageous RT.

  If the BB is won during the unfavorable RT or the advantageous RT, and if the BB cannot win the prize in the game in which the BB is won, the gaming state is controlled inside the BB. Inside the BB, the winning of the BB is carried over to the subsequent games.

  When the BB is won during the unfavorable RT or the advantageous RT and the BB can win the prize in the game in which the BB is won, the gaming state is controlled by the BB. In addition, even when the BB that has been carried over to the internal winning can be won, the gaming state is controlled to BB.

  When the gaming state is controlled to BB, as the state in BB, first, it is controlled to the BB initial state. When the RB is won in the initial state of the BB and the RB cannot win the prize in the game in which the RB is won, the gaming state is controlled inside the RB. Inside the RB, the winning of the RB is carried over to the next game and thereafter.

  When the RB is won in the BB initial state and the RB can win the prize in the game in which the RB is won, the gaming state is controlled to the RB. In addition, even if the RB that has been carried over to the internal winning can be won, the gaming state is controlled to the RB. When the RB ends, the game state is controlled to the BB initial state.

  In the case of RB1, in the BB initial state or inside the RB1, it is controlled to RB1 based on the derivation of the RB1 winning symbol combination, and when the ending condition of RB1 (6 winnings occur) is satisfied, it is controlled to the BB initial state. It In the case of RB2, in the BB initial state or inside RB2, it is controlled to RB2 based on the derivation of the RB2 winning symbol combination, and when the ending condition of RB2 (6 winnings occur) is controlled to the BB initial state. It When the BB end condition (the occurrence of the payout exceeding 350 sheets) is satisfied, the disadvantage RT is controlled.

  Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning a small winning combination (8 bells, 15 bells A, B) is higher during RB than in the normal state or the initial state. , Win the game small role almost every time. For this reason, the player can increase the number of payouts by being controlled by RB. Then, by repeating the control to the RB, the number of payouts is increased until the BB end condition is satisfied.

  Also, RB2 is more advantageous to the player than RB1. Specifically, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, the RB2 is an expected value of the net additional number in the RB (difference between the payout number and the inserted number), the RB winning ratio in the RB, the AT game number in the RB. It is more advantageous than RB1 in the application rate. Further, in the present embodiment, since the RB2 is selected during the RB2, it is possible to be continuously controlled by the RB2 (the RB2 is in continuous change). In the BB of the present embodiment, by repeating the advantageous control to the RB2, the net number of sheets to be increased in the BB is increased, and the AT game number is given to the BB (control to the AT or addition of the AT game number in the AT is added. ) Can be expected.

  In the slot machine 1 having such a game characteristic, for example, the effect mode is changed to that of RB1 each time it is controlled by RB1 (switched to the background image of RB1), and the effect mode is changed to RB2 each time it is controlled by RB2. It is also conceivable that the rendering method may be changed to that (switching to the background image of RB2) to clarify which RB is controlled by this.

  However, in this case, the production mode is changed (switching of the background image) each time the state transitions between the initial state and the RB, so even if the player is controlled to the advantageous RB2. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to appeal the control to RB2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as will be described with reference to FIG. 10 and subsequent figures, while appealing the control to the RB2 having a high advantage to the player, the player is preferably made to pay attention to the advantage different for each RB. The slot machine 1 is configured so that

[Outline of various productions]
Next, various effects executed by the sub control unit 91 in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. The sub control unit 91 grasps the game state based on the command from the main control unit 41, and executes various effects using the effect data stored in the RAM 91c.

(Continuous production)
The sub-control unit 91 can execute continuous effects. The continuous effect is an effect that informs whether or not a privilege is granted. Specifically, the presence / absence of a bonus winning is notified by continuous production. The continuous effect is an effect that is executed over a plurality of games (for example, 4 games) and is configured by the content having continuity.

  In the present embodiment, a battle effect is executed as an example of continuous effect. In the battle effect, the effect image in which the teammate character and the enemy character battle each other is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Then, when a series of battles are performed over a plurality of games and the ally character finally wins over the enemy character, the character image of “WIN” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. This suggests to the player that the privilege is granted. On the other hand, when the ally character is finally defeated by the enemy character, the character image of “LOSE” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. This suggests to the player that the privilege is not granted.

(Definite production)
The sub-control unit 91 can execute the finalized effect during a period from the notification of the grant of the privilege (bonus) to the grant of the privilege. When the player is instructed that the bonus is given by the battle effect, the bonus finalizing effect is executed in the next game. In the bonus confirmation effect, a character image of “BONUS confirmation” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, thereby notifying the player that the bonus has been won. In the present embodiment, the bonus to be given is only BB, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any one of a plurality of types of bonuses with different advantages (for example, different payout numbers) is given. May be The various effects executed during the bonus will be described later in the description of FIGS. 10 to 13.

(Indication of winning)
In addition, the sub-control unit 91 can execute a winning suggestion effect. The winning suggestion effect is an effect that suggests a winning combination in the internal lottery. In the winning suggestion effect, it is possible to suggest winning of a plurality of winning combinations by a specific operation mode.

  Here, in the case of executing the winning suggestion effect, for example, when the watermelon is won, an effect of displaying the watermelon design is performed, and when the cherry is won, an effect of displaying the cherry symbol is conceivable. As a result, the player operates the stop switch at an operation timing at which the cherry symbol and the watermelon symbol can be derived, and the winning combination is won.

  However, the game is monotonous and the interest of the game cannot be improved even if the player simply suggests the winning combination. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the game is monotonous by not paying attention to the player depending on the situation, but by paying attention to the result derived to the specific reel. Instead, I tried to improve the interest of the game. The details will be described below.

  The present embodiment has the following configuration. The winning suggestion effect includes a strong rare winning combination suggesting effect and a cherry winning suggesting effect that can be executed in the first situation, and a rare winning combination suggesting effect that can be executed in the second situation. Whether or not the winning suggestion effect can be executed is determined by a lottery when the rare role, the replays A and B, and the normal replay are won. The winning suggestion effect (gase effect) executed at the time of the normal replay winning will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the first situation, both the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect and the cherry winning suggestion effect can be executed, and in the second situation, the strong rare role winning suggestion effect and the cherry winning suggestion effect are both executed. It is possible to execute a rare role winning suggestion effect without performing.

  Here, the second situation refers to the execution period of the notification effect that notifies the player whether or not it is advantageous. For example, the second situation is during the execution period of the battle effect that informs whether or not the bonus is won. The first situation is different from the second situation, and refers to a period other than the execution period of the notification effect that notifies the player whether or not it is advantageous.

  The strong rare role winning suggestion effect is an effect that can be executed in the first situation, and when a weak cherry or a strong cherry is won, a strong symbol is won before any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is derived. This is a production that suggests that a special result can be derived to the right reel by winning either cherry or watermelon. A specific example of the effect will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The cherry-winning suggestion effect is an effect that can be executed in the first situation, and when the strong cherry or watermelon is won, the symbol is derived to any one of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (any reel is stopped. It is an effect that suggests that the specific reel can be derived to the left reel by winning either the weak cherry or the strong cherry. A specific example of the effect will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The rare role winning suggestion effect is an effect that can be executed in the second situation, and is an effect that suggests that one of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the watermelon has won. A specific example of the effect will be described later with reference to FIG. 7.

[Rare part and stop form of reach]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a stop pattern of a rare combination and a reach. Rare roles include weak cherries, strong cherries, and watermelons. Among the rare roles, weak cherries and strong cherries are called "cherries", and strong cherries and watermelons are called "strong rare roles". Rare roles are those with different degrees of advantage. Here, that the degrees of advantage are different means that the ratio of simultaneous winning of the rare combination and the bonus is different, and that the ratio of the AT game number when the rare combination is won is different.

  The details will be described below. As shown in FIG. 3, rare roles (FIGS. 3A to 3C) and replays A and B (FIGS. 3D and 3E) are bonuses (BB in the present embodiment). It is possible to win at the same time. The ratio of simultaneous winning with BB is high in the order of strong cherry, replay A, replay B, weak cherry, and watermelon. For example, when strong cherry is won in the rare role, the expectation that BB is won at the same time is highest.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as a lottery target combination to be a lottery target of the internal lottery, “weak cherry”, “strong cherry”, “watermelon”, “BB”, “BB + weak cherry”, “BB + strong cherry”. , "BB + watermelon" are included. For example, as a lottery result of the internal lottery, there are cases where “weak cherry” is won, and cases where “BB + weak cherry” is won. In the former case, the weak winning combination is a weak cherry alone, and in the latter case, the winning combination of BB and a weak cherry is simultaneous winning. The same applies to strong cherries and watermelons. Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, when simply describing “winning”, it means winning of a winning combination. For example, winning a weak cherry that is a winning combination is also referred to as a “weak cherry winning”, which means that a winning target of “weak cherry” or “BB + weak cherry” is won in the internal lottery.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modified example, the internal lottery may be performed as follows. For example, as the internal lottery, a first internal lottery for deciding whether or not to permit derivation for a small winning combination or a re-game combination, and a second internal lottery for deciding whether or not to permit derivation for a special combination (bonus). May be executed. In this case, for example, the winning of weak cherry, strong cherry, watermelon, etc. is determined by the first internal lottery, and the winning of BB is determined by the second internal lottery. In this way, since the first internal lottery and the second internal lottery are independently executed as the internal lottery, for example, the weak cherry is won by the first internal lottery, and the BB is won by the second internal lottery. Simultaneous winning may occur.

  In addition, when the rare part is won, a lottery is performed as to whether or not the AT game number is given. When the rare part is won, the ratio of the AT game number is high in the order of watermelon, strong cherry, and weak cherry. That is, when a watermelon is won in the rare role, the expectation level that the number of AT games is given is highest. For example, when the watermelon is won by the internal lottery (the “watermelon” or “BB + watermelon” that is the target of the lottery is won), the strong cherry is elected by the internal lottery (“strong cherry” or “BB + strong which is the target of the lottery). The number of AT games given is higher than when "Cherry" is won. In addition, when the first internal lottery and the second internal lottery are independently executed as the internal lottery, the following is performed. When the watermelon is won by the first internal lottery, the AT game number is more likely to be given than when the strong cherry is won by the first internal lottery.

  In this way, the ratio of simultaneous winning with BB is higher in cherry than in watermelon. Further, the ratio of AT game number is higher for watermelon than for cherry. Therefore, the player recognizes that the expectation of winning the BB is high when cherry is won, and the expectation of AT game number is high when the watermelon is won. Therefore, the player has a high expectation of winning the BB when a cherry-winning suggestion that suggests a cherry-blowing is generated, and a AT game number when a strong rare-win-winning suggestion that includes the suggestion of a watermelon win is produced. You will recognize that the degree of expectation of grant is high. Therefore, in the production, if it is desired to appeal to the player the possibility of winning the BB, the ratio of occurrence of the cherry-blowing suggestion production in the cherry-winning suggestion production and the strong rare role winning suggestion production is increased. In order to appeal the possibility of giving the AT game number to the player, it may be configured such that the ratio of the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is increased.

  3 (a) to 3 (e) are diagrams showing stop forms at the time of winning the rare combination and the replays A and B. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing a stop form at the time of winning a weak cherry. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), when a weak cherry is won, a reel control for pulling the symbol in such a manner that the middle reel of the left reel stops the BAR symbol and the lower reel stops the cherry symbol and the middle reel of the middle reel stops the cherry symbol Is done. Furthermore, in the right reel, reel control is performed so that the cherry symbols are not stopped in the upper row so that strong cherries are not won.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the BAR symbol is stopped in the middle stage of the left reel, the cherry symbol is stopped in the lower stage, and the BAR symbol is derived on the pay line LN. In the present embodiment, only one cherry symbol and one BAR symbol are arranged on the left reel, and the BAR symbol is arranged on the cherry symbol. Therefore, in order to win the weak cherry, the player needs to operate the left stop switch (pressing) at a timing when the BAR symbol can be drawn in the middle stage of the left reel or the cherry symbol can be pulled in the lower stage.

  In addition, since the cherry symbols are arranged in every 5 frames on the middle reel, if a weak cherry is won, the cherry will stop in the middle, no matter what timing the player operates the left stop switch. (No need to push) With respect to the right reel as well, since the reel control as described above is performed, the player does not need to push the eye.

  In this way, at the time of the weak cherry winning, the symbols other than the cherry symbol are stopped on the lower reel of the left reel, the cherry symbol on the middle reel of the middle reel, and the upper reel of the right reel. Then, on the pay line LN, a weak cherry winning symbol combination “specific win-cherry-non-special win” is derived. The "non-special roll" refers to a roll other than the "special roll" described later. When a weak cherry wins, five medals are paid out.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram showing a stop type at the time of winning a strong cherry. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), when a strong cherry is won, a reel control for pulling the symbol in such a manner that the BAR symbol is stopped in the middle stage of the left reel, the cherry symbol is stopped in the lower stage, and the cherry symbol is stopped in the middle stage of the middle reel. Is done. That is, the same reel control as for the weak cherry is performed on the left reel and the middle reel. Further, in the right reel, reel control is performed to pull in the symbols such that the upper one has a cherry symbol, the middle one has a red seven symbol, and the lower one has a red seven symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (b), a cherry symbol on the upper stage of the right reel, a red 7 symbol on the middle stage, and a red 7 symbol on the lower stage are called "special numbers". In the present embodiment, one cherry symbol and two red 7 symbols are arranged on the left reel, and these are arranged in the order of the cherry symbol, the red 7 symbol, and the red 7 symbol. For this reason, in order to win the strong cherry, the player needs to push the cherry symbol on the upper row, the red symbol on the middle row, the red symbol on the lower row, and the red symbol on the lower row at a timing at which the red symbol can be drawn. Note that the left reel and the middle reel are pushed in the same way as for the weak cherry.

  In this way, at the time of winning the strong cherry, the cherry symbols on the lower stage of the left reel, the cherry symbols on the middle stage of the middle reel, the cherry symbols on the upper stage of the right reel, the red 7 symbols on the middle stage, and the red 7 symbols on the lower stage are stopped. Then, on the pay line LN, a strong cherry winning symbol combination “specific win-cherry-special win” is derived. When the strong cherry wins, five medals are paid out.

  FIG.3 (c) is a figure which shows the stop form at the time of a watermelon winning. As shown in FIG. 3 (c), when the watermelon is won, the watermelon symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the left reel, the bell symbol is stopped on the middle stage, the watermelon symbol is stopped on the middle stage of the middle reel, and the cherry symbol is on the upper stage of the right reel. The reel control for drawing in the red 7 symbol in the middle row and the red 7 symbol in the lower row is stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the numbers at which the watermelon symbols on the upper stage of the left reel and the bell symbols on the middle stage stop are also referred to as "non-specific numbers". When a watermelon wins, a watermelon winning symbol combination "non-specific win-watermelon-special win" is derived on the payline LN. When a watermelon wins, five medals are paid out.

  In the present embodiment, watermelon symbols and bell symbols are arranged every 5 frames on the left reel, and watermelon symbols are arranged on the bell symbols. Further, watermelon symbols are arranged on every 5 frames on the middle reel. Therefore, when the watermelon wins, it is not necessary to push the left reel and the middle reel. In addition, since the same reel control as that for the strong cherry is performed on the right reel, it is necessary to push the right reel.

  FIG. 3D is a diagram showing a stop form at the time of winning the Replay A prize. As shown in FIG. 3D, when a replay A winning occurs, a replay A winning symbol combination “replay-replay-special outcome” (also referred to as “reach eye A”) is derived on the winning line LN. To be done. A replay is awarded by the replay A winning combination.

  FIG. 3E is a diagram showing a stop type at the time of winning the Replay B prize. As shown in FIG. 3C, when a replay B winning occurs, a replay B winning symbol combination “specific payout-replay-replay” (also referred to as “reach eye B”) is derived on the payline LN. To be done. A replay is awarded by the replay B prize. Since the replay symbols are arranged every 5 frames on all reels, it is necessary to push only the right reel to win the replay A, and only the left reel to win the replay B. You need to push.

  As described above, when the cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry) or the replay B is won, the reel control for deriving the specific outcome in the left reel is performed. Further, when a strong rare combination (strong cherry, watermelon) or replay A is won, reel control for deriving a special result on the right reel is performed.

  Further, when either the weak cherry or the strong cherry is won, if the left stop switch is operated first, it is possible to derive a specific result (the lower is the cherry symbol) on the left reel. On the other hand, when the watermelon is elected, when the left stop switch is first operated, a non-specific outcome (upper row is a watermelon design) different from the specific outcome can be derived on the left reel.

  When either the strong cherry or watermelon is won, if the right stop switch is operated first, a special result (cherry in the upper row, red 7 in the middle row, red 7 in the lower row) can be derived to the right reel. On the other hand, when a weak cherry is won, and when the right stop switch is first operated, a non-special result (a result other than the specific result) different from the special result can be derived to the right reel.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when any one of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the watermelon is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated at a specific operation timing, a corresponding prize is generated. It is possible to derive a symbol combination.

  Specifically, the specific operation timing means an operation timing at which any of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the watermelon can win the prize. Here, the specific operation timing of the left stop switch on the left reel is also referred to as the specific operation timing (left), the specific operation timing of the middle stop switch on the middle reel is also referred to as the specific operation timing (middle), and the specific operation timing of the right stop switch on the right reel. The specific operation timing is also referred to as a specific operation timing (right).

  In the present embodiment, in the left reel, when the stop operation of the left stop switch is performed at the specific operation timing (left), the symbols are arranged so that both the specific outcome and the non-specific outcome can be pulled in. Has been done.

  Also, in the middle reel, since the cherry symbols and watermelon symbols are arranged every 5 frames, the cherry symbols and watermelon symbols can be pulled in no matter what operation timing the middle stop switch is stopped. Is. That is, the specific operation timing (medium) is an arbitrary operation timing.

  Further, in the right reel, the specific operation timing (right) is the operation timing at which the special result can be pulled in. When the operation is performed at the specific operation timing (right), the reel control is performed in which the special result is drawn when the strong cherry or watermelon is won, and the special result is removed and the non-specific result is drawn when the weak cherry is won.

  Therefore, when the weak cherries are won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated at the specific operation timing, the weak cherries are won, and when the strong cherries are won, the stop is performed at the specific operation timing. When the switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the strong cherry is won, and when the watermelon is won, the watermelon is won when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated at a specific operation timing. become.

  However, when the replays A and B are won, no rare combination winning symbol combination is derived even when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated at the specific operation timing. When Replay A has won, a special result is derived by performing a stop operation of the right stop switch at a specific operation timing (right). Further, in the left reel and the middle reel, reel control in which the replay symbol is drawn is performed. Then, as a result, the reach eye A (replay A winning symbol combination) is derived.

  When Replay B is won, the specific result is derived by performing the stop operation of the left stop switch at the specific operation timing (left). Further, in the middle reel and the right reel, reel control in which the replay symbol is drawn is performed. Then, as a result, the reach B (replay B winning symbol combination) is derived.

  In summary, the behavior is as follows. When any one of the weak cherry, strong cherry and watermelon is won, when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated at a specific operation timing, a symbol combination in which a corresponding winning is generated is derived.

  However, when Replay A is elected, even if the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated at a specific operation timing after the special result is derived to the right reel by operating the right stop switch, The rare winning award symbol combination corresponding to the operation at the operation timing is not derived. In this case, the reach eye A (replay A winning symbol combination) is derived. Since the replay A may win at the same time as the BB, when the reach eye A is derived, the player can expect to win the BB.

  When Replay B is won, even if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated at a specific operation timing after the specific result is derived to the left reel by operating the left stop switch. The rare winning award symbol combination corresponding to the operation at the timing is not derived. In this case, the reach eye B (replay B winning symbol combination) is derived. Then, since the replay B may win the BB at the same time, when the reach eye B is derived, the player can expect the BB win.

  In this way, even if the specific result or the special result is derived and the player operates at the specific operation timing but the winning corresponding to the operation at the specific operation timing does not occur, the bonus (BB) is won. Therefore, it is possible that the player can pay attention even after the symbol combination is derived.

[Percentage of execution of suggested win]
Next, the execution ratio of the winning suggestion effect will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the execution ratio of the winning suggestion effect. In the present embodiment, in the first situation, when the rare part and BB are simultaneously elected and when the rare part and BB are not simultaneously elected, the cherry winning suggestion effect and the strong rare role winning suggestion effect are produced. The ratio of which of them is executed is different.

  First, a case where the rare combination is simultaneously won with BB will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in the first situation, the execution rate X11 of the cherry-winning suggestion effect when the weak cherry and the BB are simultaneously won is a predetermined rate, but the execution rate X12 of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is It is 0%. In the first situation, the execution ratio X21 of the cherry-winning suggestion effect when the strong cherry and BB are simultaneously won is higher than the execution ratio X22 of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect. In the first situation, when the watermelon and BB are simultaneously elected, the execution rate X31 of the cherry-winning suggestion effect is 0%, but the execution rate X32 of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is a predetermined rate.

  Here, the execution rate X11 of the cherry winning suggestion effect when the weak cherries and the BB are simultaneously elected is (ratio in which the weak cherries and the BB are simultaneously elected) × (the ratio of executing the cherry winning suggestion effect when the weak cherries are elected) ) Can be calculated. In addition, the execution ratio X12 of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect when the weak cherry and the BB are simultaneously elected is (ratio in which the weak cherry and the BB are simultaneously won) × (the strong rare part winning suggestion effect when the weak cherry is won) It can be calculated by the ratio of execution (= 0). The same calculation can be performed even when a strong cherry or watermelon is simultaneously elected.

  For the entire rare role (total of weak cherry, strong cherry, and watermelon), the execution ratio X41 (= X11 + X21 + X31) of the cherry-winning suggestion effect when the rare part and BB are simultaneously elected is the strong rare-win suggestion effect. It is configured to be higher than the execution ratio X42 (= X12 + X22 + X32).

  Next, a case where the rare combination is not simultaneously won with BB will be described. In the first situation, the execution rate Y11 of the cherry-winning suggestion effect when the weak cherry is independently won is a predetermined rate, but the execution rate Y12 of the strong rare-winning suggestion effect is 0%. In the first situation, the execution rate Y21 of the cherry-blossom suggestion effect when the strong cherry is solely won is lower than the execution rate Y22 of the strong rare role win suggestion effect. In the first situation, the execution rate Y31 of the cherry-winning suggestion effect when the watermelon is independently won is 0%, but the execution rate Y32 of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is a predetermined rate.

  Here, the execution rate Y11 of the suggestion effect for winning cherry when the weak cherry is independently won can be calculated by (ratio in which the weak cherry is independently won) × (the rate in which the suggestion effect for winning cherry is executed when the weak cherry is won). Further, the execution ratio Y12 of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect when the weak cherry is independently won is (the ratio of the weak cherry being independently won) × (the ratio of executing the strong rare part winning suggestion effect when the weak cherry is won (= 0) ) Can be calculated. The same calculation can be performed when a strong cherry or watermelon is independently won.

  As for the entire rare role (total of weak cherry, strong cherry, and watermelon), the execution ratio Y41 (= Y11 + Y21 + Y31) of the cherry-winning suggestion effect when the rare part is solely won is the execution ratio Y42 of the strong rare-win suggestion effect. It is configured to be lower than (= Y12 + Y22 + Y32).

  In this way, in the first situation, when the strong cherry and BB win at the same time, the execution ratio of the cherry-winning suggestion production becomes high, and when the strong cherry and BB do not win at the same time, the strong rare winning suggestion is suggested. The execution rate of the performance is high. In addition, as a whole, in the first situation, when the rare role and the BB are simultaneously elected, the execution rate of the cherry-blowing suggestive production is high, and when the rare role and the BB are not simultaneously elected, the strong rare role. The execution ratio of the winning suggestion production increases.

  By doing so, the player becomes aware that the expectation of the BB winning is high when the cherry winning suggestion effect is generated, and the expectation of the BB winning is low when the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is generated. In other words, the player comes to recognize that the expectation of BB winning is higher than the operation sequence of first stopping the left reel (at the time of suggesting cherry winning), and the operation sequence of first stopping the right reel. It becomes possible to recognize that the expectation level of BB winning is low with respect to (strong rare winning suggestion production). As a result, it is possible to draw the player's attention as to which of the cherry winning suggestion effect and the strong rare winning combination suggestion effect is executed.

[Strength rare role winning suggestion production in the first situation]
Next, an example of the winning suggestion effect will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9. First, an example of a strong rare combination winning suggestion effect in the first situation will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a strong rare combination winning suggestion effect in the first situation. In this example, a case in which a strong cherry is won, a case in which a watermelon is won, and a case in which a replay A is won will be described.

  First, a case where a strong cherry is won will be described. In FIG. 5A, it is assumed that the RT is controlled to a disadvantage. As shown in FIG. 5A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the sun and mountains as a background image during the unfavorable RT. Further, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped due to the end of the game.

  Next, when the start switch 7 is operated (start operation), it is assumed that the strong cherry is won. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the strong cherry. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is executed.

  By executing the strong rare winning suggestion effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a special result image (image showing cherry, red 7, red 7 pattern), which is an image showing the special result, at the upper position of the right reel. In addition to being displayed, the character image “Aim!” Is displayed. This suggests that operating the right stop switch in a specific operation mode (right) leads to a special outcome on the right reel (that is, pressing the right stop switch for the special outcome). To be done.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), a special outcome is led to the right reel as shown in FIG. 5 (c). When the right reel is stopped for the first time, the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect ends. At the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the letters “chance” indicating the possibility of winning the BB. Note that the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is not limited to being finished by the first stop operation of the right reel, and the strong rare winning combination suggesting effect may be finished after the first stop operation. For example, the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect may be ended during the third stop operation.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (middle), the cherry symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 5 (d1). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 5 (e1). As a result, a strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, and a strong cherry winning is generated. Furthermore, since the strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, the winning effect is executed. The execution of the winning effect changes the reel LED 55 from a lighting state to a blinking state.

  Next, the case where the watermelon wins will be described. Since it is the same as the above, the description of FIG. It is assumed that the watermelon wins when the start operation is performed. It is also assumed that the execution of the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the watermelon.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is executed. Even at the time of winning the watermelon, it is suggested to press the right stop switch for a special result by executing the strong rare winning suggestion effect.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), a special outcome is led to the right reel as shown in FIG. 5 (c). At this time, the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is finished, and at the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the character “chance” indicating the possibility of winning the BB.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (medium), the watermelon symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 5 (d2). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), a non-specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 5 (e2). As a result, a watermelon winning symbol combination is derived, a watermelon winning occurs, and a winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed in the same manner as the winning effect shown in FIG. 5 (e1).

  Next, the case where Replay A wins will be described. Since it is the same as the above, the description of FIG. It is assumed that Replay A wins when the start operation is performed. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the replay A.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is executed. Even when Replay A is won, it is suggested to press the right stop switch for a special result by executing the strong rare winning suggestion effect.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), a special outcome is led to the right reel as shown in FIG. 5 (c). At this time, the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is finished, and at the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the character “chance” indicating the possibility of winning the BB.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (medium), the replay symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 5 (d3). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the replay is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 5 (e3). As a result, the reach A (replay A winning symbol combination) is derived, the winning of the replay A occurs, and the winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed in the same manner as the winning effect shown in FIG. 5 (e1).

[Cherry winning suggestion effect in the first situation]
Next, with reference to FIG. 6, an example of the cherry-blowing suggestion effect in the first situation will be specifically described. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of the cherry-blowing suggestion effect in the first situation. In this example, a case where the weak cherry is won, a case where the strong cherry is won, and a case where the replay B is won will be described.

  First, a case where a weak cherry is won will be described. In FIG. 6A, it is assumed that the RT is controlled to a disadvantage. As shown in FIG. 6A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the sun and mountains as a background image during the unfavorable RT. Further, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped due to the end of the game.

  Next, it is assumed that when the start operation is performed, a weak cherry is won. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the cherry-winning suggestion effect is decided by the weak cherry winning. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the cherry-blowing suggestion effect is executed.

  By executing the cherry-winning suggestion effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a specific result image (an image showing a cherry symbol) that is an image indicating a specific result at the upper position of the left reel, and the character image “ Aim! "Is displayed. This suggests that operating the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left) will lead to a specific outcome on the left reel (that is, pressing the left stop switch aiming at the specific outcome). To be done.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 6 (c). The first reel stop operation is performed on the left reel to end the cherry-blowing suggestion effect. At the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the letters “chance” indicating the possibility of winning the BB.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (middle), the cherry symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 6 (d1). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), as shown in FIG. 6 (e1), a non-special outcome is led to the right reel. As a result, a weak cherry winning symbol combination is derived, and a weak cherry winning is generated. Furthermore, since the weak cherry winning symbol combination is derived, the winning effect is executed. The execution of the winning effect changes the reel LED 55 from a lighting state to a blinking state.

  Next, a case where the strong cherry is won will be described. Since it is similar to the above, the description of FIG. 6A is omitted. Suppose strong cherry wins when the start operation is performed. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the cherry winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the strong cherry.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the cherry-blowing suggestion effect is executed. Even when a strong cherry is won, it is suggested that the left stop switch is pushed for the specific result by executing the cherry-winning suggestion effect.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 6 (c). At this time, the cherry-blowing winning suggestion effect is finished, and at the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the letters “Chance” indicating the possibility of winning the BB.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (medium), the cherry symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 6 (d2). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), the special reel is led to the right reel as shown in FIG. 6 (e2). As a result, a strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, a strong cherry winning occurs, and a winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed in the same manner as the winning effect shown in FIG. 6 (e1).

  Next, a case where Replay B wins will be described. Since it is similar to the above, the description of FIG. 6A is omitted. It is assumed that Replay B wins when the start operation is performed. In addition, it is assumed that the execution of the cherry winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the replay B.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the cherry-blowing suggestion effect is executed. Even at the time of the Replay B win, it is suggested that the left stop switch is pushed for the specific result by executing the cherry-winning suggestion effect.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the special reel is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 6 (c). At this time, the cherry-blowing winning suggestion effect is finished, and at the same time, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the letters “Chance” indicating the possibility of winning the BB.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (medium), the replay symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 6 (d3). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), the replay is led to the right reel as shown in FIG. 6 (e3). As a result, the reach B (replay B winning symbol combination) is derived, the winning of the replay B occurs, and the winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed in the same manner as the winning effect shown in FIG. 6 (e1).

[Rare role winning suggestion in the second situation]
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, an example of a rare role winning suggestion effect in the second situation will be specifically described. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an example of a rare combination winning suggestion effect in the second situation.

  In FIG. 7A, it is assumed that the battle effect is being executed in the disadvantageous RT as the second situation. As shown in FIG. 7A, on the liquid crystal display 51, an image showing how the ally character and the enemy character are fighting is displayed as the effect image during the battle effect. Further, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped due to the end of the game.

  Next, it is assumed that the strong cherry is won when the start operation is performed. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the rare role winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the strong cherry. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7B, the rotation of all reels is started and the rare winning / winning suggestion effect is executed.

  By executing the rare winning / winning suggestion effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a star image at the upper position of each reel. This suggests that the winning symbol combination of the rare combination is derived by operating each stop switch in a specific operation mode (that is, pressing each stop switch).

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 7 (c). At this time, the display of the star image displayed at the upper position of the left reel ends. When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (medium), cherries are led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 7 (d). At this time, the display of the star image displayed at the upper position of the middle reel ends.

  When the player performs the third stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), as shown in FIG. 7E, the special reel is led to the right reel. At this time, the display of the star image displayed at the upper position of the right reel ends. As a result, a strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, and a strong cherry winning is generated. Furthermore, since the strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, the winning effect is executed. The execution of the winning effect changes the reel LED 55 from a lighting state to a blinking state.

  In the rare role winning suggestion effect, the same effect is executed not only when the strong cherry is won but also when the weak cherry or watermelon is won. Further, the same effect (the image of the star corresponding to the operated stop switch is erased) is executed regardless of the pressing order, not limited to the above pressing order.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7, in the first situation, when a strong cherry is won, a cherry-winning suggestion effect and a right that suggests that a specific result can be derived to the left reel. It is possible to execute a strong rare winning suggestion effect that suggests that a special result can be derived to the reel. If a specific result is derived on the left reel, a weak cherry or strong cherry can be expected, and if a special result is derived on the right reel, a strong cherry or watermelon can be expected. Then, the reels (left reel or right reel) that can narrow down which winning combination is selected depending on which one of the cherry winning suggestion effect and the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is executed changes. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved. Further, in the second situation, both the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect and the cherry winning suggestion effect are executed in contrast to the first situation in which the player's attention is drawn to the derivation of the specific outcome or the special outcome. Without doing so, it is possible to execute a rare role winning suggestion effect that suggests that one of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the watermelon has won. Therefore, the player's attention will not be dispersed regarding the game in the second situation. As described above, it is possible to improve the enjoyment of the game without monotonous the game when suggesting the winning of the winning combination.

[Strong rare role winning suggestion production and bonus confirmation production]
Next, with reference to FIG. 8, an example of an effect when the strong rare winning suggestion effect is executed and the bonus confirmation effect is further executed will be specifically described.

  As described above, when a strong cherry with a possibility of simultaneous winning with BB is won, it is possible to derive a strong rare combination winning symbol combination in which the right reel has a special result. In this case, a strong rare suggesting that a combination of strong rare winning symbols can be derived by the time a symbol is derived on any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R (any reel stops). It is possible to execute a winning suggestion effect.

  Then, when the strong cherry and BB are simultaneously elected, the bonus finalizing effect can be executed. The bonus confirmation effect is executed when the right reel first stops and the special result is derived, when the strong rare combination winning effect is executed. However, when the right rare reel is not stopped first and the reels other than the right reel are stopped first when the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is executed, the symbols constituting the strong rare hand winning symbol combination are applied to the reel. Even when it is derived, the bonus finalization effect is not executed.

  The bonus confirmation effect is executed at least at a timing after the time when the special result can be derived to the right reel. In this way, with respect to the special outcomes that constitute the strong rare winning combination, the bonus confirmation effect is executed by the right reel being stopped and the special outcome being derived, so that the special outcome is given to the player. You can make a stronger appeal that your eyes are special. By doing so, the attention to the special result can be further increased.

  In addition, after the winning symbol combination is derived, the winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed in a common manner regardless of the timing when the bonus finalizing effect is executed. Specifically, no matter what timing the bonus fixed effect is executed, after the winning symbol combination is derived, the reel LED 55, which is a common mode, blinks to perform the winning effect. . By doing this, it becomes easy to recognize the strong rare winning combination. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram (part 1) for explaining an example of a strong rare combination winning effect and a bonus finalizing effect. In this example, a case of performing a first stop operation of the right reel, a second stop operation of the right reel, and a third stop operation of the right reel during execution of the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect will be described. .

  First, a case will be described in which the right reel is first stopped and operated when the strong rare combination winning effect is executed. In FIG. 8A, it is assumed that the RT is controlled at a disadvantage. As shown in FIG. 8A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the sun and mountains as a background image during the unfavorable RT. Further, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped due to the end of the game.

  Next, it is assumed that when the start operation is performed, the strong cherry wins and the BB wins. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the strong cherry. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is executed.

  By executing the strong rare winning suggestion effect, the liquid crystal display device 51 displays the special result image at the upper position of the right reel and the character image “Aim!”. This suggests pressing the right stop switch for a special result.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), as shown in FIG. 8 (c1), the special reel is led to the right reel. When the right reel is stopped for the first time, the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect ends. At the same time, the bonus confirmation effect is executed. As a bonus confirmation effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the character "BONUS confirmed" for notifying that the bonus has been won.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (middle), the cherry symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 8 (d1). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 8 (e1). As a result, a strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, and a strong cherry winning is generated. Furthermore, since the strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, the winning effect is executed. The execution of the winning effect changes the reel LED 55 from a lighting state to a blinking state.

  Next, a case will be described in which the right reel is operated to stop the second reel during execution of the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect. The description of FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b) is the same as the above description, and will be omitted.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 8 (c2). However, unlike the situation of FIG. 8 (c1), the winning effect is not executed in this case. On the liquid crystal display 51, the strong rare winning suggestion effect is continuously executed.

  Then, when the player performs the second stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), as shown in FIG. 8 (d2), the special reel is led to the right reel. As a result, the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is finished, and the bonus decision effect is executed.

  When the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the cherry symbol is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 8 (e2). As a result, a strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, and a strong cherry winning is generated. Furthermore, since the strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, the winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed in the same manner as in the case of FIG. 8 (e1).

  Next, a case where the right reel is operated for the third stop during execution of the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect will be described. The description of FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b) is the same as the above description, and will be omitted. The description of FIG. 8C3 is the same as that of FIG.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (middle), the cherry symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 8 (d3). However, in this case, the winning effect is not executed. On the liquid crystal display 51, the strong rare winning suggestion effect is continuously executed.

  Then, when the player performs the third stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), as shown in FIG. 8 (e3), the special reel is led to the right reel. As a result, the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is finished, and the bonus decision effect is executed. Further, by deriving the strong cherry winning symbol combination, a strong cherry winning is generated and a winning effect is executed. The winning effect is executed in the same manner as in the case of FIG. 8 (e1).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, an example different from that of FIG. The lottery on whether or not to execute the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is performed even when the normal replay is won. When it is determined to execute the strong rare part winning suggestion effect by the lottery at the time of the normal replay winning, the strong rare part winning suggestion effect (gase effect) is executed until one of the reels stops.

  However, when a normal replay is won, a special result is not derived even when the right reel first stops, and even when a reel different from the right reel first stops, a strong cherry The symbols constituting the winning symbol combination are not derived. In this way, even when the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is executed, there are cases where the symbols constituting the strong cherry winning symbol combination including the special win are derived, and sometimes the symbols are not derived. It is possible to attract the attention of the player whether the eyes are drawn out.

  Further, as described above, the rare role includes strong cherry and watermelon. Then, when a strong cherry is won, a specific outcome (also referred to as a “first outcome”) at which the cherry symbol stops on the lower row in the left reel is derived. On the other hand, when the watermelon is elected, a non-specific outcome (also referred to as “second outcome”) in which the watermelon symbol stops in the upper stage on the left reel is derived.

  The advantage is different when the first win is derived (strong cherry prize) and when the second win is derived (watermelon win). In the present embodiment, when the strong cherry is won, the expectation of winning the bonus is high, and when the watermelon is won, the expectation that the number of AT games is given is high. In this way, when the strong cherry or watermelon is won and the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is executed, which result is derived on the left reel, so which result is derived? Can attract the attention of the player. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram (part 2) for explaining an example of a strong rare combination winning suggestion effect and a bonus confirmation effect. In this example, a strong rare role winning suggestion effect is executed during strong cherry winning, a strong rare role winning suggestion effect is executed during watermelon winning, and a strong rare role winning suggestion effect is executed during normal replay winning. The case where it is performed will be described.

  First, a case will be described in which a strong rare role winning suggestion effect is executed when a strong cherry is won. In FIG. 9A, it is assumed that the RT is controlled to a disadvantage. As shown in FIG. 8A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image of the sun and mountains as a background image during the unfavorable RT. Further, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped due to the end of the game.

  Next, it is assumed that when the start operation is performed, the strong cherry wins and the BB wins. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the strong cherry. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is executed.

  When the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), as shown in FIG. 9 (c1), the special reel is led to the right reel. By the first stop operation of the right reel, the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is finished and the bonus finalizing effect is executed.

  When the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (middle), the cherry symbol is led to the middle reel as shown in FIG. 9 (d1). Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), the specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 9 (e1). As a result, a strong cherry winning symbol combination is derived, a strong cherry winning occurs, and a winning effect is executed.

  Next, a case will be described in which a strong rare role winning suggestion effect is executed when a watermelon is won. The description of FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C2 is the same as above, and thus will not be repeated. However, in this case, the watermelon and the BB are simultaneously elected by the start operation.

  When the player performs the first stop operation on the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), as in the situation of FIG. 9 (c1), as shown in FIG. 9 (c2), the special reel is led to the right reel. At the same time, the bonus confirmation effect is executed.

  However, when the player performs the second stop operation of the middle stop switch in the specific operation mode (middle), unlike the situation of FIG. 9 (d1), as shown in FIG. 9 (d2), the watermelon pattern is displayed on the middle reel. Is derived. Further, when the player performs the third stop operation of the left stop switch in the specific operation mode (left), a non-specific outcome is led to the left reel as shown in FIG. 9 (e2). As a result, a watermelon winning symbol combination is derived to generate a watermelon winning symbol, and a winning effect is executed.

  Next, it is assumed that a normal replay is won when the start operation is performed. Further, it is assumed that the execution of the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is decided by the winning of the normal replay. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B, the rotation of all reels is started, and the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is executed.

  However, in this case, even if the player performs the first stop operation of the right stop switch in the specific operation mode (right), as shown in FIG. 9 (c3), the special outcome is not derived to the right reel. Instead, the replay symbol is derived. In addition, since the symbol is derived on the right reel, the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect ends, and the same display as in FIG. 9A is returned.

  Further, even if the middle stop switch is operated in the second stop mode in the specific operation mode (middle), as shown in FIG. 9 (d3), the cherry or watermelon symbol is not derived to the right reel, and the replay symbol is derived. To be done. Similarly, even if the left stop switch is operated by the third stop in the specific operation mode (left), as shown in FIG. 9 (e3), the specific reel or the non-specific reel is not derived to the left reel. , Replay symbols are derived. As a result, a winning of the normal replay occurs, but the effect at the time of winning is not executed.

[Game state controlled during BB and effect executed]
Next, with reference to FIG. 10 to FIG. 13, a game state controlled during BB and an effect executed will be described. As described with reference to FIG. 2, the main control unit 41 can control the BB initial state and RB1 and RB2 during BB. Further, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, RB2 is more advantageous to the player than RB1. Therefore, during BB, the player pays particular attention to whether or not the player is controlled to RB2, which is an advantageous game state.

  Here, the internal lottery executed in the BB initial state is also referred to as a first lottery, and the internal lottery executed in the RB is also referred to as a second lottery. In the BB initial state, when the first lottery for deciding whether to control any RB is performed, the RB is controlled according to the result of the first lottery. Then, in the RB being controlled, when the second lottery for deciding whether to control one of the RBs is performed, the RB according to the result of the second lottery is selected after the RB being controlled is finished. Controlled.

[Stopped winning combination during BB]
First, with reference to FIG. 10, the stop form of the winning combination in BB will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a stop form of the winning combination during BB. As shown in FIG. 10A, the BB winning symbol combination is “red 7-red 7-red 7”. The BB is controlled by the BB winning, and when the BB exceeds 350 medals, the control to the BB ends (see the table in FIG. 11).

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the RB1 winning symbol combination is “replay-replay-BAR”. When the RB1 is won, the RB1 is controlled, and when the RB1 wins six times, the control of the RB1 is finished (see the table in FIG. 11).

  The RB2 winning symbol combination includes an RB2 winning symbol combination 1 and an RB2 winning symbol combination 2. As shown in FIG. 10C, the RB2 winning symbol combination 1 is “replay-replay-red 7”. Further, as shown in FIG. 10D, the RB2 winning symbol combination 2 is “replay-replay-white 7”. RB2 is controlled by winning RB2, and when six winnings occur in RB2, control of RB2 ends (see the table in FIG. 11).

  In addition, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the RB winning suggestion effect. The RB winning suggestion effect is an effect that is executed when the RB wins, and is an effect that suggests that the RB has won. In the present embodiment, when RB1 wins, RB winning suggestion effect A can be executed, and when RB2 wins, RB winning suggestion effect A and RB winning suggestion effect B can be executed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the RB winning suggestion effect A, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the character “chance” indicating that RB1 or RB2 has won. Further, in the RB winning suggestion effect B, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image with the character “Great Chance” indicating that RB2 has won.

  As shown above, in the left reel or the middle reel of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the symbols constituting the RB1 winning symbol combination (“Replay”) and the symbols constituting the RB2 winning symbol combination (“Replay”) Is the same as. The same effect (RB winning suggestion effect A) can be executed when RB1 is won and when RB2 is won.

  In other words, if the same effect is executed when RB1 is won and when RB2 is won, and if the left first stop and the second middle stop are performed, does RB1 win until the third stop? I don't know if will win. In this way, since it becomes difficult for the player to determine which RB winning symbol combination is derived, it is possible to increase the player's attention as to which RB winning symbol combination is derived.

  Further, the effect that can be executed when RB1 is won (RB winning suggestion effect A) can be executed even when RB2 is won. In this way, when the RB winning suggestion effect A is executed, the winning of not only RB1 but also RB2 can be expected, so that it is possible to increase the player's attention to the derivation of the RB2 winning symbol combination.

  In addition, the effects that can be executed when RB2 is won (RB winning suggestion effect A, RB winning suggestion effect B) include effects that cannot be executed when RB1 is won (RB winning suggestion effect B). In this way, when the RB winning suggestion effect B is executed, the possibility of winning the RB1 is eliminated, and the expectation of winning the RB2 is increased, so that the player's attention can be increased in deriving the RB2 winning symbol combination.

  In the present embodiment, a winning combination including 8 bells, 15 bells A and 15 bells B is selected as a small winning combination accompanied by payout of medals. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, 15-bell A and RB can be simultaneously elected, and when the 15-bel B is elected, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to grant the AT game number. Therefore, the player will pay attention to whether the 15-bell A winning symbol combination is derived or the 15-bell B winning symbol combination is derived.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (e), at the time of winning eight bells, the bell symbol is stopped on the upper stage of the left reel, the bell symbol is stopped on the middle stage of the middle reel, and the bell symbol is stopped on the lower stage of the right reel. 8 bells will be awarded. Eight medals are paid out by winning the eight-bell prize.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (f), when the 15-bell A is won, the 15-bell A win is generated by stopping the bell symbols in the respective middle stages of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel. That is, the 15-sheet Bell A winning symbol combination is “bell-bell-bell”. 15 medals are paid out by winning the 15-bell A prize.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10 (g), when the 15-bell Bell A is elected, the bell symbol is stopped in the middle stage of the left reel and the middle reel, and the bell symbol is stopped in the lower stage of the right reel, which is 15 sheets. Bell B wins. Although not shown, when the bell symbol is stopped at the lower stage of the right reel, the replay symbol is stopped at the middle stage. That is, the 15-bell Bell B winning symbol combination is "bell-bell-replay". 15 medals are paid out by winning the 15-bell B.

  Further, when the 15-bell A or the 15-bell A wins, the sub-control unit 91 can execute an effect that suggests that the 15-bell wins. For example, when 15-bell A or 15-bell B is won, an effect of displaying a bell image on the liquid crystal display 51 is executed.

  As described above, in the left reel or the middle reel of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, a symbol (“bell”) that constitutes the 15-bell A winning symbol combination and a 15-bell B winning symbol combination are configured. It is the same as the design (“bell”). The same effect can be executed when the 15-bell A wins and when the 15-bell A wins.

  That is, the same effect is executed when the 15-bell B is won and when the 15-bell B is won, and when the left first stop and the second stop are performed, until the third stop, I don't know if 15-bell B will win or 15-bell B will win. In this way, it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether or not the 15-bell-B prize-winning symbol combination is derived, so that the player's attention to the derivation of the symbol combination can be increased.

  The number of medals paid out when the 15-bell B wins (15) is the same as the number of medals paid out when the 15-bell B wins (15). In this way, there is no difference in the number of medals paid out when the 15-bell A prize is won and when the 15-bell B prize is won.

[Winning prizes and other matters during BB]
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining winning combinations and other matters in the BB. As described above, the winning symbol combination of BB and the ending condition of BB, the winning symbol combination of RB that can be won in BB and the ending condition of RB are as shown in the table of FIG.

  As shown in the table of FIG. 11, in the BB initial state, the probability that RB1 is won is 1/2, and the probability that RB2 is won is 1/6. In addition, the probability that a small win in the RB is won is as follows. In RB1, the probability of winning 8 bells is 1 / 2.1, the probability of winning 15 bells A is 1 / 2.1, and the probability of winning 15 bells B is 1/40. . On the other hand, in RB2, the probability of winning 8 bells is 1/40, the probability of winning 15 bells A is 1 / 2.1, and the probability of winning 15 bells B is 1 / 2.1. In this way, during the RB, the small winning combination that almost pays out is won.

  Here, when the probability of winning a small win per game in RB is calculated, it becomes 1 / 2.1 + 1 / 2.1 + 1/40 = 0.977 (97.7%) (both RB1 and RB2 are the same). When the expected value of the number of payouts per game (the number of medals to be awarded) is calculated, it becomes 8 / 2.1 + 15 / 2.1 + 15/40 = 11.3 in RB1 and 8 / in RB2. 40 + 15 sheets / 2.1 + 15 sheets / 2.1 = 14.5 sheets. Further, when the expected value of the number of games required to generate 6 times of winnings is calculated, it is 6 times / 0.977 = 6.14 games.

  Therefore, the expected value of the number of medals (the number of payouts in RB1) to be given after the control to RB1 is started and before the control to RB1 is finished is 11.3 × 6.14 games = 69 Becomes On the other hand, the expected value of the number of payouts in RB2 is 14.5 × 6.14 games = 89. That is, the expected value of the number of payouts in RB1 (69) is smaller than the expected value of the number of payouts in RB2 (89).

  The player expects to be controlled to an advantageous RB2 during BB. In this way, by reducing the number of payouts in RB1, it is possible to increase the chances of performing a lottery to determine whether to control to RB2. By doing so, the chances of being controlled by the RB2 can be increased.

  Further, since the number of bets in BB is 3, the net increase number per game (payout number-number of bets) is 11.3-3-3 = 8.3 in RB1, and 14 in RB2. 5 sheets-3 sheets = 11.5 sheets. Therefore, the expected value of the net increase in RB1 is 8.3 * 6.14 games = 51. On the other hand, the expected value of the net increase in RB2 is 11.5 × 6.14 games = 71. That is, the expected value of the net increase in RB2 (71 sheets) is larger than the expected value of the net increase in RB1 (51 sheets), and in this respect, RB2 is more advantageous than RB1.

  When the 15-bell B wins, the AT game number is determined at a higher rate than when the 15-bell A wins. In the present embodiment, the AT game number is determined with a probability of 1/10 when the 15-bell B is won, whereas the AT game number is determined when the 15-bell A is won. There will be no lottery.

  Further, when controlled by RB2, the proportion of 15-bell B wins is higher than when controlled by RB1. Therefore, while controlling RB1, the number of AT games is given with a probability of 1/40 × 1/10 = 1/400 per game, whereas while controlling RB2, 1/2. The AT game number is given with a probability of 1 × 1/10 = 1/21.

  That is, during the control over the RB2, the AT game number is more frequently given than during the control over the RB1. In this way, since the expectation of winning the 15-belt B with a high expectation that the AT game number is given in RB2 is high, the player comes to pay attention to the winning of the 15-bell B, which makes the game interesting. Can be improved.

  As described above, when the 15-bell B wins, the proportion of the AT game number is higher than when the 15-bell A wins. On the other hand, in the second lottery during RB2, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control RB2 again. In the second lottery in RB2, 15 bells A and RB2 can be simultaneously elected. Therefore, when 15-bell A wins, it is possible to expect control of RB2.

  In this way, even if the 15-bell B with a high AT game number allocation ratio is not won, the RB2 can be expected to be controlled by winning the 15-bell A, so that the player's expectation is maintained. be able to. Further, during RB2, a lottery as to whether or not to control RB2 again is performed, so that the player can expect to be continuously controlled to RB2.

[Transition to RB in BB]
Next, referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, the transition to RB in BB will be described using a timing chart.

  First, the presentation mode during BB will be described. When the BB is controlled, the BB initial state is controlled first. In the BB initial state, the presentation mode is the predetermined mode. When the BB initial state is controlled to RB1, the effect mode is the same as the predetermined mode. When the BB initial state is controlled to RB2, the effect mode is a specific mode different from the predetermined mode.

  Specifically, in the BB, and in the BB initial state, the presentation mode is such that the BB normal background image is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, as a normal background image, an image of a flowing star is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and an image of the dancing character A is displayed in the center. The character is, for example, a character such as an anime or drama that is tied up with a game machine.

  When the BB initial state is controlled to RB1, the effect mode in which the BB normal background image is displayed is continued. On the other hand, when the BB is controlled from the BB initial state to the RB2, the BB medium-high probability background image is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, an image in which the character B and the character C appear is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as the BB middle-high probability background image. The BB middle high-accuracy background image is an image that gives a special impression to the player as compared with the BB middle normal background image, whereby the player can recognize that it is controlled by the advantageous RB2. .

  As described above, the BB2 normal background image is displayed when the BB2 is controlled from the BB initial state, which is more advantageous to the player than the RB1. On the other hand, the BB normal background image is controlled when the BB2 is controlled from the BB initial state. Since the display of is continued, it is possible to appeal to the player the control to RB2 having a high advantage, and it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether or not it is in the BB initial state in which the player can shift to RB2. The expectation of can be sustained. As a result, the interest of the game can be improved with respect to which of the advantages is given to the player.

  Furthermore, when the control mode for the RB2 brings about a performance mode in which the BB middle-high-accuracy background image is displayed, and then the control for the RB2 ends and the BB initial state is controlled, the performance mode does not change and the BB middle-high The effect mode in which the positive background image is displayed is continued. As a result, it is possible to maintain the sense of expectation that the player is controlled by RB2, which is advantageous. Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and the BB medium-high accuracy background image may be displayed only when the RB2 control is performed.

  In addition, in BB, the speaker 53 outputs BGM in BB. For example, the BGM in the BB is a song output in the BB, and may be a theme song such as an animation or drama that is tied up with a game machine. During the BB, even if the state shifts between the BB initial state and RB1 and RB2, the BGM in the BB is always output from the speaker 53, and the effect mode of the effect using the speaker 53 does not change. By doing so, even if the state is changed in the BB, the player can recognize that the BB is in progress.

  It should be noted that during BB, the BGM during BB is not limited to being output, and the LED 52 may be lit or blinked in a predetermined manner. For example, during BB, the LED 52 may always blink in a predetermined color different from that during non-BB.

  Hereinafter, a specific description will be given using a timing chart. FIG. 12 is a timing chart (No. 1) for explaining the transition to RB during BB. Prior to t1, the BB is not controlled (non-BB). In the non-BB state, the speaker 53 outputs BGM different from the BGM in the BB (non-BB BGM). Further, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a background image (non-BB background image) different from the background image in BB.

  Here, it is assumed that a BB winning has occurred. At t1 of the next game in which a winning occurs, the game is controlled by the BB and is also controlled by the BB initial state as the BB state. At this time, the speaker 53 outputs BGM in BB which is BGM in BB. In addition, a normal background image in BB is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Next, it is assumed that RB1 is won and an RB1 winning is further generated. At t2 of the next game in which a winning is generated, the player is controlled by RB1. At this time, the BGM in BB is continuously output from the speaker 53. Further, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the normal background image during BB.

  Next, it is assumed that the control of RB1 is completed. When the control of RB1 is completed, the BB initial state is controlled again at t3. At this time, the BGM in BB is continuously output from the speaker 53. Further, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the normal background image during BB.

  Next, it is assumed that the player wins the RB2 and further wins the RB2 prize. At t4 of the next game in which the winning is generated, the game is controlled by RB2. At this time, the BGM in BB is continuously output from the speaker 53. Further, the display of the normal background image in BB is completed, and the high-precision background image in BB is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Next, it is assumed that control of RB2 is completed. When the control of RB2 is completed, the BB initial state is controlled again at t5. At this time, the BGM in BB is continuously output from the speaker 53. Further, in this case, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the BB middle high-accuracy background image without switching to the BB normal background image display.

  Next, it is assumed that RB1 is won and an RB1 winning is further generated. At t6 of the next game in which a winning occurs, the game is controlled by RB1. At this time, the BGM in BB is continuously output from the speaker 53. Further, the display of the BB middle high-accuracy background image is ended by being controlled by RB1, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays the BB middle normal background image.

  Next, it is assumed that the control of RB1 is completed. When the control of RB1 is completed, the BB initial state is controlled again at t7. At this time, the BGM in BB is continuously output from the speaker 53. Further, the liquid crystal display 51 continues to display the normal background image during BB. When the control to the BB ends, the output of the BGM in the BB ends and the display of the normal background image in the BB also ends.

  FIG. 13 is a timing chart (No. 2) for explaining the transition to RB during BB. Before t1, the state is controlled to the BB initial state in the BB. In FIG. 13, RB1 is controlled from t1 to t2, RB2 is controlled from t4 to t7, and RB2 is controlled again from t8 to t9. During the other periods, the BB initial state is controlled.

  When winning the RB, the sub-control unit 91 executes an RB winning effect that notifies that the RB has won. As shown at t1 in FIG. 13, when the player wins in RB1, the RB1 winning effect is displayed to display an image with the characters “RB1”. Further, as shown at t4 and t8 in FIG. 13, when the player wins the RB2, the RB2 winning effect is displayed to display the image with the character "RB2".

  Further, as described with reference to FIG. 10, the sub-control unit 91 can execute the RB winning suggestion effect when the RB is won. At t3 of FIG. 13, when the RB2 is won by the first lottery during the BB initial state, the execution of the RB winning suggestion effect A is determined as the RB winning suggestion effect. Further, at t5 of FIG. 13, when RB2 is won by the second lottery during RB2, execution of the RB winning suggestion effect A is determined as the RB winning suggestion effect.

  As described above, when the RB wins, when the RB winning symbol combination is derived and the RB winning occurs, the RB is controlled. In the example of t3 of FIG. 13, RB2 is won by the first lottery during the BB initial state. In this case, if RB2 can be won in the game, it is controlled by RB2. On the other hand, if the RB2 cannot be won in the game, the winning of the RB2 is carried over to the next game or later, and the RB2 is controlled when the winning of the RB2 that was carried over can be won. (T4 in FIG. 13).

  On the other hand, in the example of t5 of FIG. 13, RB2 is won by the second lottery during RB2. In this case, when the control of the RB2 is finished and the BB2 is controlled to the BB initial state, the winning of the newly elected RB2 is carried over. Then, in the game controlled to the BB initial state or the subsequent games, if the RB2 for which the winning has been carried over can be won, the RB2 is controlled again (t8 in FIG. 13).

  As described above, as the internal processing of the slot machine, the processing is different when the RB2 is won by the first lottery during the BB initial state and when the RB2 is won by the second lottery during the RB2. However, from the viewpoint of the player, it is not necessary to discriminate between them because it is the same in terms of control over the RB2 no matter what processing is performed internally. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a common effect (RB winning suggestion effect A or RB2) is controlled by the control to RB2 by the first lottery during the BB initial state and the control to RB2 by the second lottery during RB2. Winning performance) is being executed. By doing so, it is easy for the player to understand that the RB2 is controlled.

  When it is determined that the RB is controlled by the second lottery, as at t5 in FIG. 13, the RB under control is controlled by the RB again after the RB under control is ended by the RB winning suggestion effect. Is suggested. In this case, the RB finalization effect can be further executed. The RB finalization effect is an effect that notifies that the winning of the RB has been finalized. For example, when notifying the winning of RB2, as shown at t6 in FIG. 13, an image with the characters “RB2 confirmed” is displayed.

  However, on the other hand, in the following two cases, the RB winning suggestion effect and the RB confirmation effect are not executed. (1) If the BB end condition can be satisfied before the RB to be controlled again ends, the RB winning suggestion effect and the RB finalizing effect are not executed. Specifically, in the case where the RB2 can be controlled during the period of t8 to t9, the BB ends and the RB2 ends when the number of BB payout exceeds 350. Is. In such a case, the RB2 winning suggestion effect and the RB2 confirmation effect are not executed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from being unnecessarily agitated by executing the RB winning suggestion effect in a situation in which the RB ends immediately even if the RB is controlled again.

  Further, (2) if the BB end condition can be satisfied before the RB under control ends, the RB winning suggestion effect and the RB finalizing effect are not executed. Specifically, as in the case of (2), although BB2 can be controlled during the period from t4 to t7, the BB ends when the payout number of BB exceeds 350, and In this case, RB2 will also end. In such a case, the RB2 winning suggestion effect and the RB2 confirmation effect are not executed. By doing so, the player is not unnecessarily agitated by executing the RB winning suggestion effect or the like even though the player is not controlled by the RB again.

[Structure of Slot Machine of Present Embodiment and Advantages]
Next, the configuration of the slot machine of the present embodiment and the effects obtained will be described.

(1-1) A variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which is identifiable,
After variably displaying the variable display unit, the display result is derived by stopping the variable display of the variable display unit, and in a slot machine (eg, slot machine 1) in which a prize can be generated according to the display result,
In a predetermined period (for example, a period controlled by BB), a state control unit (for example, a process in which the main control unit 41 controls the state) capable of controlling any of a plurality of types of states is provided,
The plurality of types of states include an initial state (for example, a BB initial state) and a plurality of types of specific states different from the initial state (for example, RB1 and RB2),
The state control means controls one of the plurality of types of specific states according to the derived display result,
The plurality of types of specific states are a first specific state (for example, RB1) controlled based on the derivation of a first specific display result (for example, RB1 winning symbol combination “replay-replay-BAR”), and a second specific state. A player rather than the first specific state controlled based on the derivation of the display result (for example, RB2 winning symbol combination 1 "replay-replay-red 7", RB2 winning symbol combination 2 "replay-replay-white 7") A second specific state (for example, RB2) that is advantageous to (for example, an expected value of the net increase in the RB, an RB winning percentage in the RB, and an AT game number giving percentage in the RB).
In the initial state, the effect mode becomes a predetermined mode (for example, an effect mode in which a normal background image in BB is displayed) (for example, as shown at t1 in FIG. 12, in BB and in the BB initial state. , A normal background image in BB is displayed),
When the initial state is controlled to the first specific state, the effect mode is common to the predetermined mode (for example, as shown at t2 in FIG. 12, when the BB initial state is controlled to RB1, the normal BB state is set). It is still in the presentation mode in which the background image is displayed),
When the initial state is controlled to the second specific state, the effect mode is a specific mode different from the predetermined mode (for example, an effect mode in which a BB medium-high probability background image is displayed) (for example, t4 in FIG. 12). As shown in, when the BB is controlled from the BB initial state to the RB2, the BB medium-high probability background image is displayed.

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 12, it is possible to control to the BB initial state and RB1 and RB2 during the period controlled by BB. RB1 is controlled based on the derivation of the RB1 winning symbol combination, and RB2 is controlled based on the derivation of the RB2 winning symbol combination. RB2 is more advantageous to the player than RB1. Further, in the BB and in the BB initial state, a production mode in which the BB normal background image is displayed (t1), and when the BB initial state is controlled to RB1, the BB normal background image is displayed. The production mode remains the same (t2), and when the BB initial state is controlled to RB2, the BB medium-high probability background image is displayed (t4). As described above, the BB2 normal background image is displayed when the BB2 is controlled from the BB initial state, which is more advantageous to the player than the RB1. On the other hand, the BB normal background image is controlled when the BB2 is controlled from the BB initial state. Since the display of is continued, it is possible to appeal to the player the control to RB2 having a high advantage, and it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether or not it is in the BB initial state in which the player can shift to RB2. The expectation of can be sustained. As a result, the player can be appropriately focused on the advantages that are different for each RB.

(1-2) It is possible to execute an effect using a specific effect means (for example, the speaker 53) in the predetermined period,
Even if the state transitions between the initial state, the first specific state, and the second specific state, the production mode of the production using the specific production means does not change (for example, as shown in FIG. 12, Even if the state transitions between the BB initial state and RB1 and RB2, BGM in BB is output from the speaker 53, and the effect mode of the effect using the speaker 53 does not change).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, even if the state transitions between the BB initial state and RB1 and RB2, BGM in BB is output from speaker 53, and speaker 53 is used. The production mode of the production does not change. This allows the player to recognize that he is in the BB.

  (1-3) When the effect mode is changed to the specific mode by the control to the second specific state, the effect mode is changed when the control to the second specific state is finished and the initial state is controlled. Without being performed, the effect mode remains the above-described specific mode (for example, as shown in FIG. 12, after the effect mode is changed to the effect mode in which the BB middle high-accuracy background image is displayed by the control to RB2, the control to RB2 is performed. When finished and controlled to the BB initial state, the effect mode is the effect mode in which the BB medium-high probability background image is displayed without changing the effect mode).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, after the RB2 is controlled to display the BB medium-high accuracy background image, the control to RB2 ends and the BB initial state is controlled. In this case, the effect mode remains the effect mode in which the BB medium-high probability background image is displayed without changing the effect mode. As a result, it is possible to maintain the sense of expectation that the player is controlled by RB2, which is advantageous.

(1-4) The predetermined period ends when a game value (for example, a medal) of a predetermined amount (for example, 350) or more is given,
After the control to the first specific state is started, the expected value (for example, 51) of the amount of gaming value given until the control to the first specific state is ended is the second specific state. Is smaller than the expected value (for example, 71 cards) of the game value provided by the time when the control for the second specific state is finished after the control for the second is started (for example, as shown in FIG. 11). , The expected value of the number of medals (51 coins) to be given after the control to RB1 is started and before the control to RB1 is finished is until the control to RB2 is finished after the control to RB2 is started. (It is smaller than the expected number of medals to be given to (71).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, BB ends when 350 or more medals are paid out, and after the control of RB1 is started, the control of RB1 is completed. The expected value of the number of medals to be given (51 pieces) is smaller than the expected value of the number of medals to be given (71 pieces) after starting the control to RB2 and ending the control to RB2. By lowering the expected value of the medal given to RB1 in this way, it is possible to increase the chances of performing a lottery as to whether or not to control to RB2, and thereby to increase the opportunity to be controlled by RB2. You can

(1-5) The slot machine includes a plurality of variable display sections capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and after variably displaying the variable display section, a variable display of the variable display section is performed. By deriving the display result by stopping, it is possible to win a prize according to the display result combination which is the combination of the display results of the plurality of variable display parts,
Predetermination means for determining a display result combination that is allowed to be derived from a plurality of types of display result combinations including a given display result combination (eg, 15-bell A, 15-bell B) accompanied by a gaming value grant (for example, , An internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 41),
The award display result combinations that are allowed to be derived in the specific state include a first award display result combination (for example, a 15-bell A winning symbol combination “bell-bell-bell”) and a second award display result combination (for example, There are 15 Bell B winning symbol combinations "Bell-Bell-Replay"),
When the derivation of the second grant display result combination is permitted, the grant of the privilege (for example, the number of AT games) is determined at a higher rate than when the derivation of the first grant display result combination is permitted (for example, As shown in FIG. 11, when the 15-bell B wins, the AT game number is determined at a higher rate than when the 15-bell A wins).
When controlled to the second specific state, the derivation ratio of the second addition display result combination is higher than when controlled to the first specific state (for example, as shown in FIG. 11). In addition, when controlled by RB2, the proportion of winning 15-bell B is higher than when controlled by RB1).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when the 15-bell B wins, the AT game number is determined at a higher rate than when the 15-bell A wins. Further, when controlled by RB2, the proportion of 15-bell B wins is higher than when controlled by RB1. In this way, the expectation of the 15-belt B win, which has a high expectation that the number of AT games is given in the advantageous RB2, becomes high, so that the player comes to pay attention to the 15-bell B win and the The interest can be improved.

(1-6) In a predetermined variable display portion (for example, left reel, middle reel) of the plurality of variable display portions, a display result (for example, “bell”) that constitutes the first combination of display results It is the same as the display result that constitutes the second combination display result combination (for example, as shown in FIG. 10, in the left reel or the middle reel of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, 15-belt A winning symbol combination) The symbols ("bell") and the symbols constituting the 15-bell Bell B winning symbol combination ("bell") are the same),
The same effect can be executed when the derivation of the first combination of display results is permitted and when the derivation of the second combination of display results is allowed (for example, as shown in FIG. The same effect is executed when the 15-bell A wins and when the 15-bell A wins).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, in the left reel or the middle reel of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the symbols (“bell”) and the symbols (“bell”) that constitute the 15-bell A winning symbol combination are provided. It is the same as the symbol (“bell”) that constitutes the one-piece Bell B winning symbol combination. The same effect is executed when the 15-bell A wins and when the 15-bell A wins. As a result, it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether or not the 15-bell B winning pattern combination is derived, and the player's attention can be increased.

  (1-7) The amount of game value (for example, 15 pieces) provided when the first combination of display and display result is derived is provided when the combination of second display and display result is derived. It is the same as the amount of game value (for example, 15 coins) (for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the number of medals (15 coins) paid out when 15 coins Bell A wins is 15 coins Bell B. It is the same as the number of medals (15) that are paid out when you do).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, the number of medals paid out when 15-bell A wins (15) is the number of medals paid out when 15-bell B wins. It is the same as (15 sheets). In this way, there is no difference in the number of medals paid out when the 15-bell A prize is won and when the 15-bell B prize is won.

(2-1) Lottery means for performing lottery including a first lottery (for example, an internal lottery executed in the BB initial state) and a second lottery (for example, an internal lottery executed in RB) (for example, a main control unit). 41 is further provided with an internal lottery process,
The state control means,
In the initial state, when the first lottery for determining whether to control one of the plurality of types of specific state is performed, control to a specific state according to the result of the first lottery (for example, In the BB initial state, when the first lottery for deciding whether to control one of the RBs is performed, the RB is controlled according to the result of the first lottery),
When the second lottery for determining whether to control one of the plurality of types of specific states is performed in the specific state being controlled, the second lottery is performed after the specific state being controlled is finished. In a specific state according to the result of (for example, in the RB under control, if the second lottery for determining whether to control to any RB is performed, after the RB under control ends, RB is controlled according to the result of the second lottery),
A common suggestion effect (for example, RB winning suggestion effect, RB winning effect) is executed by the control to the specific state by the first lottery and the control to the specific state by the second lottery (for example, FIG. 13). As shown in, common suggestion effects (RB winning suggestion effect, RB winning effect) are executed by the control to the RB by the first lottery and the control to the RB by the second lottery.

  For example, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, when the first lottery for determining whether or not to control any RB is performed in the BB initial state, the first lottery is selected. When the second lottery for controlling the RB according to the result and determining whether to control any of the RBs is performed in the RB being controlled, after the RB being controlled is finished, the second lottery RB is controlled according to the result. Further, a common suggestion effect (RB winning suggestion effect, RB winning effect) is executed by the control to the RB by the first lottery and the control to the RB by the second lottery. As described above, regardless of whether the first lottery is performed in the BB initial state or the second lottery is performed in the RB under control, the control to the RB by the first lottery and the control to the RB by the second lottery Since the common suggestive effect is executed in and, it is easy for the player to understand that the RB is controlled.

(2-2) The lottery means allows a derivation from a plurality of types of display result combinations including a combination display result combination (eg, 15-bell A, 15-bell B) accompanied by the addition of a gaming value. A lottery for determining a result combination is performed (for example, a lottery for a role such as 15-bell A or 15-bell B accompanied by payout of medals is performed).
The award display result combinations that are allowed to be derived in the specific state include a first award display result combination (for example, a 15-bell A winning symbol combination “bell-bell-bell”) and a second award display result combination (for example, There are 15 Bell B winning symbol combinations "Bell-Bell-Replay"),
When the derivation of the second addition display result combination is permitted, it is advantageous to the player (when the number of AT games is given is higher) than when the derivation of the first addition display result combination is permitted. (For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the 15-bell B wins, the AT game number is more frequently given than when the 15-bell A wins).
The lottery means performs the second lottery to determine the control to the specific state when the derivation of the first combination of the addition and display results is permitted (for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the second lottery in RB2). In the lottery, 15 Bells A and RB2 can win at the same time).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when the 15-bell B wins, the AT game number is more likely to be given than when the 15-bell A wins. Further, in the second lottery under control of 1RB2, 15-bell A and RB2 can be simultaneously elected. As described above, even if the 15-bell B, which is expected to be provided with the AT game number, is not won, the 15-bell A wins the second lottery for determining the control to the RB. Even when the single bell B is not won, the player's expectation can be maintained.

  (2-3) When it is determined to be controlled to the specific state by the second lottery, it is suggested that the specific state being controlled is controlled to the specific state again after the specific state being controlled is ended. While the suggestive effect is executable, the suggestive effect is not executed if the ending condition of the predetermined period can be satisfied before the specific state under control is ended (for example, as shown in FIG. 2 When it is determined that the RB is controlled by the lottery, it is possible to execute the RB winning suggestion effect that suggests that the RB under control is controlled by the RB again after the RB under control is finished. If the ending condition of BB can be satisfied before the end of the inner RB, the RB winning suggestion effect is not executed).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, when it is determined that the RB is controlled by the second lottery, the RB being controlled is again controlled by the RB after the RB being controlled is finished. While it is possible to execute the RB winning suggestion effect that suggests that the RB winning suggestion effect is not executed when the BB end condition can be satisfied before the controlled RB ends. As a result, the player is not unnecessarily agitated to execute the RB winning suggestion effect even though the player is not controlled by the RB again.

  (2-4) When it is determined to be controlled to the specific state by the second lottery, it is suggested that the specific state being controlled is again controlled to the specific state after the termination of the specific state being controlled. While the suggestive effect is executable, the suggestive effect is not executed if the ending condition for the predetermined period can be satisfied before the specific state to be controlled again is ended (for example, as shown in FIG. 2 When it is determined that the RB is controlled by the lottery, it is possible to execute the RB winning suggestion effect that suggests that the RB under control is again controlled by the RB after the RB under control is finished. If the BB end condition can be satisfied before the controlled RB ends, the RB winning suggestion effect is not executed).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, when it is determined that the RB is controlled by the second lottery, the RB being controlled is again controlled by the RB after the RB being controlled is finished. While it is possible to execute the RB winning suggestion effect that suggests that the RB winning suggestion effect is not executed if the BB end condition can be satisfied before the RB to be controlled again ends. As a result, even if the RB is controlled again, the RB will end immediately and the RB winning suggestion effect will not be executed to unnecessarily incite the player.

  (2-5) In the second lottery in the second specific state, the lottery means performs a lottery as to whether or not to control the second specific state again (for example, as shown in FIG. 11, RB2 In the second lottery in the middle, a lottery on whether to control RB2 again is performed).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, in the second lottery in RB2, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control RB2 again. As a result, the player can expect the RB2 to be continuously controlled.

(2-6) The slot machine includes a plurality of variable display sections capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and after variably displaying the variable display section, the variable display section displays the variable display. By deriving the display result by stopping, it is possible to win a prize according to the display result combination which is the combination of the display results of the plurality of variable display parts,
The plurality of types of specific states are a first specific state (for example, RB1) that is controlled based on the derivation of a first specific display result combination (for example, RB1 winning symbol combination “replay-replay-BAR”), The rate at which a privilege (for example, the number of AT games) is given to the player is higher than that in the 1 specific state, and the second specific display result combination (for example, RB2 winning symbol combination 1 “Replay-Replay-Red 7”, RB2 winning symbol) And a second specific state (eg, RB2) controlled based on the derivation of combination 2 “Replay-Replay-White 7”),
In a predetermined variable display portion (for example, left reel, middle reel) of the plurality of variable display portions, a display result (for example, "replay") and the second specific display which form the first specific display result combination. The display result constituting the result combination is the same (for example, as shown in FIG. 10, on the left reel or the middle reel of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the symbols constituting the RB1 winning symbol combination (“Replay”). ) And the symbols constituting the RB2 winning symbol combination (“replay”) are the same),
The same effect can be executed when the derivation of the first specific display result combination is permitted and when the derivation of the second specific display result combination is permitted (for example, as shown in FIG. 10, RB1 The same effect (an effect in which an image with the letters “chance” is displayed) is executed when is won and when RB2 is won).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, on the left reel or the middle reel of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, the symbols (“replay”) and the RB2 winning symbol combination forming the RB1 winning symbol combination. It is the same as the symbol ("replay") that constitutes the. Further, the same effect (RB winning suggestion effect A) is executed when RB1 is won and when RB2 is won. This makes it difficult for the player to determine which RB winning symbol combination is to be derived, so that it is possible to increase the player's attention as to which RB winning symbol combination is derived.

  (2-7) Any of the effects (eg, RB winning suggestion effect A) that can be executed when the derivation of the first specific display result combination is permitted, the derivation of the second specific display result combination is permitted. It is an effect that can be executed at any time (for example, as shown in FIG. 10, an effect that can be executed when RB1 is won (RB winning suggestion effect A) can also be executed when RB2 is won). .

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, an effect that can be executed when RB1 is won (RB winning suggestion effect A) can be executed even when RB2 is won. As a result, the player's attention to the derivation of the RB2 winning symbol combination can be increased.

  (2-8) When the derivation of the second specific display result combination is permitted, effects (for example, RB winning suggestion effect A and RB winning suggestion effect B) that can be executed are set to the first specific display result combination. When the derivation is allowed, an effect that cannot be executed (for example, RB winning suggestion effect B) is included (for example, as shown in FIG. 10, an effect that can be executed when RB2 is won (RB winning suggestion effect A, The RB winning suggestion effect B) includes an effect that cannot be executed when RB1 wins (RB winning suggestion effect B)).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the effects that can be executed when RB2 is won (RB winning suggestion effect A, RB winning suggestion effect B) are inexecutable when RB1 is won. The effect (RB winning suggestion effect B) is included. As a result, the player's attention to the derivation of the RB2 winning symbol combination can be increased.

(3-1) A plurality of variable display sections capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified,
After the variable display is variably displayed, the variable display of the variable display is stopped to derive the display result, and the winning can be generated according to the display result combination which is the combination of the display results of the plurality of variable display units. In a slot machine (for example, slot machine 1),
Predetermination means for determining a display result combination that allows derivation (for example, an internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 41, a first internal lottery process in the modification),
A plurality of derivation operation means (for example, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) operated to derive the display result combination,
And a derivation control unit (for example, a reel control process executed by the main control unit 41) for performing control for deriving the display result combination,
The determination result of the pre-determination means includes a first determination result (for example, a weak cherry winning (a weak cherry single winning, BB), which has different degrees of advantage (for example, a bonus simultaneous winning ratio, an AT game number giving ratio). (Simultaneous win with weak cherry)) and second decision result (for example, strong cherry win (strong cherry alone win, simultaneous win with BB and strong cherry)) and third decision result (for example, watermelon win (watermelon alone win, BB and watermelon simultaneous winning))) is included,
The derivation control means,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is one of the first determination result and the second determination result, a first derivation operation means (for example, a left stop switch) of the plurality of derivation operation means. Is operated for the first time, a specific display result (for example, a specific result) is displayed on the first variable display section (for example, the left reel) corresponding to the first derivation operation means among the plurality of variable display sections. Derive,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the third determination result, a non-specific display different from the specific display result on the first variable display section when the first derivation operation means is first operated. Derive results (eg non-specific rolls),
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is one of the second determination result and the third determination result, the second derivation operation means (for example, the right reel) of the plurality of derivation operation means is When first operated, a special display result (for example, a special result) is derived to a second variable display section (for example, a right reel) of the plurality of variable display sections corresponding to the second derivation operation means. Then
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the first determination result, a non-special display different from the special display result on the second variable display section when the second derivation operation means is first operated. Derive results (eg non-special rolls),
When the determination result of the pre-determination unit is the second determination result, the determination result of the pre-determination unit is the first determination result before the display result is derived to any one of the plurality of variable display units. A specific effect (for example, cherry-winning suggestion effect) that suggests that the specific display result can be derived on the first variable display portion by being one of the 1 determination result and the second determination result is executed. It is possible (for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the strong cherry is won, by the time the symbol is derived to any one of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R (either reel stops), it is weak. It is possible to execute a cherry-winning suggestion effect that suggests that a specific result can be derived to the left reel by winning one of the cherry and the strong cherry),
When the determination result of the pre-determination unit is the second determination result, the determination result of the pre-determination unit is the first determination result before the display result is derived to any one of the plurality of variable display units. Special effect that suggests that the special display result can be derived on the second variable display section by being one of the 2 decision result and the third decision result (for example, a strong rare winning combination suggestion effect) Can be executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when a strong cherry is won, by the time the symbol is derived on any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R (either reel stops). , It is possible to execute a strong rare role winning suggestion effect that suggests that a special result can be derived to the right reel by winning one of strong cherry and watermelon),
In the first situation (for example, the first situation shown in FIGS. 5 and 6), both the specific effect and the special effect can be executed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, In the first situation, both the cherry-winning suggestion effect and the strong rare hand-winning suggestion effect can be executed),
In the second situation (for example, the second situation shown in FIG. 7 (during battle production, etc.)), the determination result of the pre-determination means is determined without executing either the specific production or the special production. It is possible to execute a special effect (for example, a rare winning suggestion effect) that suggests one of the first determination result, the second determination result, and the third determination result (for example, FIG. 7). As shown in, in the second situation, it is determined that one of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the watermelon is won without executing any of the cherry-winning suggestion effect and the strong rare role-winning suggestion effect. It is possible to suggest a rare role as a suggestion.

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, in the winning combination, a weak cherry, a strong cherry, and a watermelon having mutually different degrees of advantage (simultaneous winning ratio with bonus, AT game number giving ratio) are provided. Is included. If either the weak cherry or the strong cherry is won, when the left stop switch is first operated, a specific result is derived to the left reel corresponding to the left stop switch, and if the watermelon is won, When the stop switch is first operated, if a non-specific result different from the specific result is derived to the left reel corresponding to the left stop switch, and either strong cherry or watermelon wins, right stop Corresponds to the right stop switch when the right stop switch is first operated when a special result is derived to the right reel corresponding to the right stop switch when the switch is first operated and the weak cherry is won. A non-special outcome different from the special outcome is derived to the right reel. When the strong cherry is won, either the weak cherry or the strong cherry is won by the time the symbol is derived on any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (either reel is stopped). By doing so, it is possible to execute the cherry-winning suggestion effect that suggests that the specific reel can be derived to the left reel (FIG. 6). When the strong cherry is won, by the time the symbol is derived to any one of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the special reel is given to the right reel because either the strong cherry or the watermelon is won. It is possible to execute a strong rare winning suggestion effect that suggests that it can be derived (FIG. 5). Further, in the first situation, both the strong rare hand winning suggestive effect and the cherry winning suggesting effect can be executed (FIGS. 5 and 6). Further, in the second situation, it is possible to suggest that one of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the watermelon has won, without executing either the strong rare winning suggestion effect or the cherry winning suggestion effect. A winning suggestion effect can be executed (FIG. 7).

  As described above, in the first situation, when the strong cherry is won, the cherry-winning suggestion effect that suggests that the specific reel can be derived to the left reel and the special reel can be derived to the right reel. When a strong rare role winning suggestion production is possible and a specific outcome is derived on the left reel, a weak cherry or strong cherry can be expected to win, and a special outcome is derived on the right reel. Can expect strong cherry or watermelon prizes. Then, the reels (left reel or right reel) that can narrow down which winning combination is selected depending on which one of the cherry winning suggestion effect and the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is executed changes. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved. Further, in the second situation, both the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect and the cherry winning suggestion effect are executed in contrast to the first situation in which the player's attention is drawn to the derivation of the specific outcome or the special outcome. Without doing so, it is possible to execute a rare role winning suggestion effect that suggests that one of the weak cherry, the strong cherry, and the watermelon has won, so that the player's attention is dispersed regarding the game in the second situation. There is no end. In this way, with regard to the effect that suggests the winning of the winning combination, the interest of the game can be improved without the game becoming monotonous.

(3-2) The derivation control unit is configured to output the plurality of determination results when the determination result of the pre-determination unit is any one of the first determination result, the second determination result, and the third determination result. When the derivation operation means of is operated in a specific operation mode (for example, a specific operation timing at which any of weak cherry, strong cherry and watermelon can win a prize), a display result combination in which a prize occurs is derived (for example, , When any one of the weak cherry, strong cherry and watermelon is won, the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R have a specific operation timing (operation timing at which any of the weak cherry, strong cherry and watermelon can win a prize). ) Is operated, derives the symbol combination in which winning occurs),
After the specific display result is derived on the first variable display section by the operation of the first derivation operation means, or the special display result is derived on the second variable display section by the operation of the second derivation operation means. After that, if a prize corresponding to the operation in the specific operation mode has not been generated even though the plurality of derivation operation means have been operated in the specific operation mode, the bonus is given to the player. (For example, as shown in FIG. 3, after a specific result is derived to the left reel by operating the left stop switch, or after a special result is derived to the right reel by operating the right stop switch, the stop switch is activated. If the winning corresponding to the operation at the specific operation timing does not occur even though 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated at the specific operation timing, the bonus and the simultaneous winning are simultaneously applied. Possibility replay A prize or replay B prize is generated with which) further comprising a privilege granting means (e.g., process the main control unit 41 imparts the benefits).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, when any one of weak cherry, strong cherry, and watermelon is won, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R have specific operation timings (weak cherry, strong cherry, and strong cherry). When both the cherry and the watermelon are operated at the operation timing at which the prize can be won), the symbol combination for winning the prize is derived. Further, after the specific result is derived to the left reel by operating the left stop switch, or after the special result is derived to the right reel by operating the right stop switch, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are specifically operated. If a prize corresponding to an operation at a specific operation timing does not occur despite being operated at a timing, there is a possibility that you may have won at the same time as the bonus A replay A win or a replay B win occurs. In this way, a bonus can be won even if a specific result or a special result is derived and a prize corresponding to the operation at the specific operation timing does not occur despite the operation at the specific operation timing. Therefore, the player can be paid attention even after the symbol combination is derived.

  (3-3) The second situation is during the execution period of the notification effect (for example, battle effect) that notifies the player whether or not it is advantageous (for example, bonus winning) (for example, shown in FIG. 7). As described above, the second situation is during the execution of the battle effect in which it is notified whether or not the bonus is won).

  For example, in the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the second situation is during the execution of the battle effect in which it is notified whether or not the bonus is won. This allows the player's attention to be paid to the notification of whether or not it is advantageous.

  (3-4) In the first situation, when the first predetermined situation (for example, when the rare hand and BB are simultaneously won) and the first specific situation (for example, the rare hand and BB are not simultaneously won) The ratio of which of the specific effect and the special effect is executed is different (for example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the first situation, the rare combination and the BB are performed simultaneously). When the winning is achieved, the execution rate of the cherry suggestive suggestion production is high, and when the rare role and the BB are not simultaneously won, the execution rate of the strong rare role winning suggestion production is high).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, in the first situation, when the rare combination and BB are simultaneously elected, the execution ratio of the cherry suggestion suggestive production is high, and the rare combination and BB are simultaneously elected. If you do not do it, the ratio of executions of strong rare role winning suggestion production is high. By doing so, the player becomes aware that the expectation of the BB winning is high with respect to the operation order of first stopping the left reel by the cherry-winning suggestion effect, and the strong rare hand-winning suggestion effect is performed by the player. It becomes possible to recognize that the expectation of winning the BB is low with respect to the operation sequence of first stopping the reels. As a result, the player can be appropriately urged to the reel stop order according to the situation.

(3-5) The first predetermined situation is a situation in which when the determination result of the pre-determination means is the second determination result, a privilege (for example, BB win) is given together with the determination (for example, BB winning). As shown in FIG. 4, the first predetermined situation is a situation in which when the strong cherry is won, the BB is won along with the strong cherry.
The first specific situation is a situation in which, when the determination result of the pre-determination means is the second determination result, the privilege is not given together with the determination (for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the first specific situation is the first specific situation). Is a situation in which when the strong cherry is won, the BB has not won along with the strong cherry.

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the first predetermined situation is a situation in which when the strong cherry is won, the BB is won along with the strong cherry, and the first specific situation is When the strong cherry is won, the BB is not winning along with the strong cherry. As a result, it is possible to draw the player's attention as to which of the cherry winning suggestion effect and the strong rare winning combination suggestion effect is executed.

(4-1) The derivation control unit determines whether the determination result of the pre-determination unit is a specific determination result (for example, strong cherry winning) that may be advantageous to the player (for example, BB winning). It is possible to derive a specific display result combination (for example, a strong rare combination winning symbol combination) in which the display result of the specific variable display part (for example, the right reel) of the variable display parts is the specific display result (for example, BB). If a strong cherry with a possibility of simultaneous winning is won, it is possible to derive a strong rare winning combination symbol combination in which the right reel has a specific result).
By the time a display result is derived on any of the plurality of variable display units, suggestive production (for example, a strong rare hand winning suggestive production) that suggests that the specific display result combination can be derived can be executed. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8, by the time a symbol is derived on any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R (any reel is stopped), a strong rare winning combination symbol combination can be derived. It is possible to execute a strong rare role winning suggestion production that suggests that),
When the suggestive effect is executed, a derivation time effect (for example, a bonus fixed effect) that is executed when the variable display of the specific variable display unit is first stopped and the specific display result is derived can be executed. (For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is executed, the bonus confirmation effect is executed when the right reel first stops and the special result is derived. Is possible),
When the variable display part other than the specific variable display part first stops without first stopping the variable display of the specific variable display part when the suggestive effect is executed, the specific display on the variable display part. Even when the display result forming the result combination is derived, the derivation time effect is not executed, while the derivation time effect is generated at least at a timing after the specific display result can be derived in the specific variable display section. It is feasible (for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a strong rare winning combination suggestive effect is executed, if the reels other than the right reel stop first without stopping the right reel first, the reel concerned Even when the symbols that make up the strong rare winning combination are derived, the bonus confirmation effect is not executed, but at least the timing when a special result can be derived to the right reel. To run the bonus established production in the timing).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, when a strong cherry with a possibility of simultaneous winning with BB is won, a special rare winning combination with a right reel is a special result. The combination can be derived. Also, a strong rare combination winning symbol suggesting that a strong rare combination winning symbol combination can be derived by the time the symbol is derived to any one of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R (either reel stops). Suggestive production can be executed. In addition, when the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect is executed, it is possible to execute the bonus decision effect which is executed when the right reel first stops and the special result is derived. Also, when the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect is executed, if the reels other than the right reel stop first without stopping the right reel first, the symbols that make up the strong rare hand winning symbol combination will be on that reel. Even if it is derived, the bonus finalization effect is not executed, while the bonus finalization effect is executed at least at a timing after the time when the special result can be derived to the right reel. In this way, with regard to the special outcomes that form the strong rare winning combination, the bonus confirmation effect is executed by the right reel being stopped and the special outcome being derived. Can be increased.

  (4-2) The predetermined effect (for example, a winning effect) that is executed after the display result combination is derived is a common mode (for example, the reel LED 55 blinks regardless of the timing when the derivation effect is executed. ) Is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the winning-time effect that is executed after the symbol combination is derived is in a common mode (the blinking of the reel LED 55 is irrespective of the timing when the bonus fixed effect is executed). ) Run).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the prize-winning effect executed after the symbol combination is derived is in a common mode (of the reel LED 55, regardless of the timing when the bonus finalizing effect is executed). Blinking). Thereby, it becomes easy to recognize the strong rare winning combination.

(4-3) Even if the determination result of the pre-determination means is a non-specific determination result different from the specific determination result (for example, normal replay win), it is displayed on any of the plurality of variable display sections. By the time the result is derived, the suggestive effect can be executed (for example, as shown in FIG. 9, even when the normal replay different from the strong cherry is won, among the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, By the time the symbol is derived to any of the (one of the reels is stopped), the strong rare hand winning suggestion effect can be executed),
The derivation control means,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the non-specific determination result, the specific display result is not derived even when the variable display of the specific variable display portion is first stopped (for example, FIG. 9). As shown in (c3), when the normal replay is won, the special result is not derived even when the right reel first stops),
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the non-specific determination result, the specific display result combination is configured even when the variable display of the variable display unit different from the specific variable display unit is first stopped. No display result combination is derived (for example, as shown in FIG. 9 (e3), when the normal replay is won, even when the reel different from the right reel is first stopped, the strong cherry winning symbol combination is selected. The symbols that make up are not derived).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, even when a normal replay different from strong cherry is won, a symbol is derived on any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R ( By the time one of the reels has stopped), it is possible to execute a strong rare role winning suggestion effect (FIG. 9 (b)), and when the normal replay is won, even when the right reel first stops, No special outcome is derived (Fig. 9 (c3)), and when the normal replay is won, the symbols constituting the strong cherry winning symbol combination are derived even when the reel different from the right reel first stops. Not done. As a result, the player's attention can be paid to which outcome is derived.

(4-4) The specific determination result includes a first specific determination result (for example, strong cherry winning) and a second specific determination result (for example, watermelon winning),
The derivation control means,
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the first specific determination result, the first display result (for example, "cherry" in the lower row is displayed on a predetermined variable display unit (for example, left reel) different from the specific variable display unit. ”Is derived (for example, as shown in FIG. 9 (e1), when the strong cherry is elected, the first reel in which“ cherry ”is stopped is derived from the lower reel to the left reel. Do),
When the determination result of the pre-determination means is the second specific determination result, a second display result (for example, a second appearance at which the “watermelon” stops in the upper row) is derived on the predetermined variable display section ( For example, as shown in FIG. 9 (e2), when the watermelon is elected, a second roll out of which the "watermelon" is stopped is derived from the upper reel to the left reel).

  For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when the strong cherry is won, the first reel in which the “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel is derived (FIG. 9 (e1)). , If the watermelon is elected, the second reel in which the "watermelon" stops is derived to the upper stage on the left reel (Fig. 9 (e1)). As a result, the player's attention can be paid to which outcome is derived.

  In the above-described embodiment, a plurality of reels capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identifiable symbols are provided, and after variably displaying the reels, the variable display of the reels is stopped to derive the display result, The slot machine in which the winning can be generated according to the combination of the display results of the reels has been described. That is, the display result is derived by providing a plurality of variable display sections capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and variably displaying the variable display section and then stopping the variable display of the variable display section. Then, the slot machine in which the winning can be generated according to the combination of the display results of the plurality of variable display portions has been described. However, the display result is derived by providing a variable display unit capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information, each of which can be identified, and variably displaying the variable display unit and then stopping the variable display of the variable display unit. As long as the slot machine is capable of generating a prize according to the display result, it is not limited to one having three reels and one having only one reel or a plurality of reels other than three. Good.

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

[Percentage of execution of suggestive win]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, in the first situation, when the rare combination and the BB are simultaneously elected, and when the rare combination and the BB are not simultaneously elected, the cherry elected suggestion effect is produced. And, the ratio of which one of the strong rare role winning suggestion effects is executed is made different. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the following may be performed. For example, in the first situation, when the number of AT games is given at the time of winning the rare role and when the number of AT games is not given at the time of winning the rare role, among the cherry-winning suggestion effect and the strong rare-winning suggestion effect. The ratio of which is executed may be different. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

  First, a case where the number of AT games is given at the time of winning the rare role will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in the first situation, the execution ratio of the cherry-winning suggestion effect is a predetermined ratio when the weak cherry-winning + the number of AT games is given, but the execution ratio of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is 0%. Is. In the first situation, the execution rate of the cherry-blowing winning suggestion effect is lower than the execution rate of the strong rare-winning suggestion effect when the strong cherry win + AT game number is given. In the first situation, when the number of watermelon winning + AT games is given, the execution ratio of the cherry-winning suggestion effect is 0%, but the execution ratio of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is a predetermined ratio. For the entire rare role (weak cherry, strong cherry, and watermelon), the ratio of executions of suggested cherry winnings is lower than the ratio of executions of suggested strong rares when the number of rare winnings + AT games is given. To do so.

  Next, a case where the number of AT games is not given at the time of winning the rare role will be described. In the first situation, the execution ratio of the cherry-winning suggestion effect is a predetermined ratio when the weak cherry is won (the AT game number is not given), but the execution ratio of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is 0%. In the first situation, the execution ratio of the cherry-blowing suggestion effect is higher than the execution ratio of the strong rare-role winning suggestion effect when the strong cherry is won (no AT game number is given). In the first situation, when the watermelon is won (no AT game number is given), the execution ratio of the cherry-winning suggestion effect is 0%, but the execution ratio of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is a predetermined ratio. And for the entire rare role (weak cherry, strong cherry, and watermelon), the execution ratio of the cherry-winning suggestion effect when the rare part is won (without assigning the number of AT games) is the execution ratio of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect. Lower than

  In this way, in the first situation, the execution ratio of the strong rare part winning suggestion effect is high when the strong cherry prize + the number of AT games is given, and the execution ratio of the strong cherry winning suggestion effect is high when the strong cherry is won (the AT game number is not given). The execution rate is high. In addition, as a whole, in the first situation, when the rare part winning + the number of AT games is given, the execution ratio of the strong rare part winning suggestion production is high, and when the rare part winning (the AT game number is not given), the cherry winning is suggested. The execution rate of the performance is high. By doing so, the player recognizes that the AT game number is highly expected to be given when the strong rare role winning suggestion effect is generated, and the AT game number is not expected to be highly expected when the cherry prize winning suggestion effect is generated. Like In other words, the player comes to recognize that the AT game number is highly expected to be given to the operation order (at the time of the strong rare winning suggestion effect) in which the right reel is first stopped, and the left reel is first It becomes possible to recognize that the expectation degree of AT game number grant is low with respect to the operation sequence to be stopped (at the time of suggesting cherry winning).

  Alternatively, the following may be performed. For example, the ratio of the cherry-winning suggestion effect and the strong rare hand-winning suggestion effect to be executed may be different between during non-ART and during ART. In this case, "at the time of winning BB (simultaneous winning)" becomes "non-ART during" in the upper table of FIG. 4, and "at the time of non-winning BB (single winning)" becomes "at ART" in the lower table of FIG. , And other description contents are the same. For example, during non-ART, the execution rate of the cherry-picked suggestive effect during the strong cherry-winning is higher than the execution rate of the strong-rare-winning suggested effect, and the execution rate of the cherry-winning suggested-effect during the rare-win is high. It becomes higher than the execution ratio of the winning suggestion production. In addition, during ART, the execution rate of the cherry-blossom suggestion effect during the strong cherry win is lower than the execution rate of the strong rare role win suggestion effect, and the execution rate of the cherry winning suggestion effect during the rare role win is the strong rare role. It is lower than the execution ratio of the winning suggestion effect.

  As explained above, the percentage of simultaneous winning with BB is higher for cherry than for watermelon, and the percentage of AT games is given for watermelon is higher than for cherry. Therefore, the player suggests winning cherry. When the cherry winning suggestion effect occurs, the BB winning expectation degree is high, and when the strong rare role winning suggestion effect including the watermelon winning suggestion occurs, the AT game number grant expectation degree is high. . In addition, if the rare role is won, the number of AT games will be increased, the lottery will be drawn whether or not to control to the additional specialization zone. It may be higher than cherry. In such a case, the player will recognize that there is a high degree of expectation that the player will be controlled by the additional specialized zone when a strong rare role winning suggestion effect including a suggestion of watermelon winning occurs.

  In the present modified example, in the case of the above-described configuration, during the non-ART, the execution rate of the cherry-blowing suggestive effect, which is the operation sequence for first stopping the left reel, is high. It is possible to increase the expectation of winning the BB. Further, during the ART, since the execution ratio of the strong rare combination winning suggestion effect, which is the operation order for first stopping the right reel, is high, the number of AT games is given to the player (the number of additional games is given) during the ART. Alternatively, it is possible to increase the expectation of control in the additional specialized zone. In addition, it is possible to add distinctiveness to the operation between non-ART and during ART.

[Transition to RB in BB]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12 and the like, it is possible to control the BB initial state and RB1 and RB2 during the period controlled by BB, and RB1 is controlled based on the derivation of the RB1 winning symbol combination. RB2 is controlled based on the derivation of the RB1 winning symbol combination, and RB2 is more advantageous to the player than RB1. In the BB initial state, a normal background image in the BB is displayed, and from the BB initial state The BB1 normal background image is displayed when the RB1 is controlled, and the BB middle high-accuracy background image is displayed when the BB2 is controlled from the BB initial state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the following may be performed.

  BB may be non-ART (normal state) or ART, BB initial state may be RT0, RB1 may be RT1, RB2 may be RT2, and the modification may be applied. Specifically, it is possible to control to RT0, RT1 and RT2 in a non-ART (or ART) controlled period, RT1 is controlled based on a predetermined winning combination 1 prize, and RT2 is based on a predetermined winning combination 2 prize. And RT2 is more advantageous to the player than RT1, and the RT normal background image is displayed at RT0, and the RT normal background image is displayed when controlled from RT0 to RT1. The mode may remain as it is, and when the control from RT0 to RT2 is performed, the mode may be such that the RT medium-high accuracy background image is displayed. Further, if the control to RT2 is brought to an effect mode in which an RT medium-high-accuracy background image is displayed, and then the control to RT2 is ended and control is made to RT0, the effect mode is not changed to RT. The production mode in which the medium-high probability background image is displayed is maintained. The control of RT1 and RT2 may be ended after the predetermined number of games has elapsed, and the process may return to RT0.

  Further, as described above, the BB is not limited to the one applied to the non-ART or the ART, but may be applied to the normal section or the advantageous section described later. In this case, BB is set as a normal section or an advantageous section, BB initial state is set as RT0, RB1 is set as RT1, and RB2 is set as RT2. In this case, for example, RT2 has a higher probability of being controlled by AT than RT1 in the advantageous section, and when controlled by RT2, by displaying the RT medium-high-accuracy background image, a high-accuracy state is obtained. There is something that can be appealed to the player.

  As a concept of a state different from the game state (RT state), the main controller 41 controls a plurality of types of game sections. The game section includes a normal section and an advantageous section. The normal section is a section in which navigation information cannot be reported. The advantageous section is a section in which navigation information can be reported, and has a performance related to an instruction function (navigation) for instructing the player how to operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. When a winning combination for the advantageous section (for example, a rare combination such as cherry) is won in the normal section, the winning section shifts to the advantageous section. The advantageous section includes the precursory state, CZ, and AT. In the present embodiment, when the transition to the advantageous zone is won, the advantageous zone distribution lottery determines the type of the advantageous zone to be only the precursory state or the CZ transition after the precursory state. The precursory state is a state that suggests whether the advantageous section continues under the control of CZ or AT or shifts to the normal section without being controlled by CZ or AT. The AT is in a notification state in which a navigation effect that notifies the player of the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is controlled by the main control unit 41. The CZ is controlled by the main control unit 41, and is in a state in which the degree of advantage in controlling the AT is higher than in the normal section. When the advantageous section is controlled, the transition to the normal section is made on the basis of the satisfaction of the condition for ending the advantageous section (for example, the number of AT games and the number of CZ games becoming 0).

[About production at the time of derivation]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to derive a strong rare combination winning symbol combination in which the right reel has a special result when the strong cherry is won, and the reels other than the right reel are stopped. Although the bonus finalization effect is not executed even if the composition symbol of the combination of the strong rare winning combination is derived, the finalization effect is executed when the special reel is derived by stopping the right reel. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the following may be performed. For example, there is a predetermined hand A whose winning symbol combination is "BAR-BAR-BAR" and a predetermined hand B whose winning symbol combination is "lip-BAR-BAR". May be used as the predetermined combination B, and the specific result may be applied to the above as a BAR symbol. In this case, when the predetermined winning combination A is won, even if the reels other than the right reel are stopped and the BAR symbol is derived, the final effect is not executed, but if the right reel is stopped and the BAR symbol is derived, the final effect is executed. .

[Advantage of RB]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when the 15-bell B wins in the BB, the AT game number is determined at a higher rate than when the 15-bell A wins. 15-bell Bell A can now win at the same time as RB2. However, without being limited to this, when the strong cherry is won in the BB, the AT game number is decided at a higher rate than when the weak cherry is won, and the weak cherry can be simultaneously won with the RB2. You may do so.

  Further, it is not limited to the lottery to determine whether or not to control the RB2 in the RB2, and the lottery to determine whether or not to control the RB1 or the RB2 during the RB1 and the RB2 may be performed. In this case, the winning probability of RB2 is made higher than the winning probability of RB1, and the probability of winning of RB in RB2 is made higher than the probability of winning of RB in RB1. As a result, it is easier to win the RB2 in the RB2 than in the RB1, and it is easier to win the RB2 in the RB2 than in the RB1.

  Also, RB2 is more advantageous than RB1 in the expected value of the net additional number in RB, the RB winning ratio in RB, and the AT game number giving ratio in RB, but it is not limited to this, as long as it is advantageous. It can be anything. For example, the RB2 may be more advantageous than the RB1 in controlling the additional specializing zone and controlling the CZ.

  Further, although the plurality of RBs can be controlled to the RB1 and the RB2, the present invention is not limited to this, and the RBs may be controllable to three or more types of RBs. For example, RB1, RB2, and RB3 may be controllable, RB2 may be more advantageous than RB1, and RB3 may be more advantageous than RB2. In this case, the expected value of the net additional number in RB3 is the highest, the ratio of the AT game number is given to RB3 is the highest, and the ratio of winning RB3 in RB3 is the highest.

[About suggested production for winning]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 and the like, it is possible to execute a strong rare role winning suggestion effect and a cherry winning suggestion effect as the winning suggestion effect. The character image "Aim!" Is displayed at the top of the right reel. However, the display is not limited to this, and may be any display as long as it suggests winning of either strong cherry or watermelon, or suggests deriving a special result on the right reel. Good. Also, in the rare role suggestion production, not only is the star image displayed on the top of each reel, but any display that suggests a weak cherry, strong cherry or watermelon is displayed. May be

[Regarding the first situation and the second situation]
In the present embodiment, the first situation is in a period other than the execution period of the notification effect that informs the player whether or not it is advantageous, and the second situation informs whether or not it is advantageous to the player. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second situation may be a period during which an effect that attracts the player's attention is being executed, and the first situation may be a period different from the second situation. Further, the second situation may be during control to the additional specialization zone or control to the CZ. Further, the second situation may be a situation in which the upper limit number of games is controlled in a defined advantageous zone and the arrival of the upper limit number of games in the advantageous zone is confirmed. In this case, it is not necessary to draw the player's attention to the winning of the rare role by the strong rare role winning suggestion effect and the cherry winning suggestion effect, as it is decided that the control to the advantageous section has ended, rather, rather than paying attention excessively. It is better not to collect them.

[Advantage of winning rare role]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the degree of advantage is obtained when the first result is derived (strong cherry prize) and when the second result is derived (watermelon prize). As a result, the bonus winning expectation level and the AT game number grant expectation level are made different. However, the number of AT games provided is not limited to this, and may be different. Further, bonuses with different advantages (a plurality of BBs or a plurality of RBs) may be won, and the bonuses to be won may be different to have different degrees of advantage.
